years ago in tho province of Noygorod,
northern Russia, and was educated at the
naval school at st. Petersburg. The navy
did not suit his tastes, and he went to
Paris and studied art under Gerome. In

must not be greater than thirty-six

The American art world has a new star
in the person of Nasilla Nerestchsgin, the
Russian painter now visiting the United
States. AS re ilist he ranks above all
other modern painters; he disregards all
the softening features employed by other
artists, and paints battle scenes, wounds
and agony exactly as they really arc. In
short, the critics say that what Zola is in
literature Verestchagin is in ant even to
a more pronounced Independence of Gus

Attorney-General Tabor, of New York state.
has enunciated very interesting principle OF
law III the case of the Atlantic avenue railroad
IN Brooklyn, which failed to run its cars during
II recent strike. and thereby caused great in
convenience to the public. The strike was over
question of wages. the company proposing to
pay one rate and its servants demanding an
other. Hence. argues Mr.. Tabor, the annoy
ance suffered by the public was due to no fault
of Its own. but merely to business disagree
ment between employers and employed in a
concern which under obligations to
provide for the publics comfort This
looks like sound law. Nobody would
question it for an instant if only private parties
were concerned. A baker who contracts with
one of his customers to supply him with so
many pounds of bread daily at so many cents a
pound, cannot break his contract with impunitv
because the price of -four or yeast or labor or
rent goes up to point where his business be-
comes Improbable. That was his proper look
out before he entered into the arrangement So
IN the case of persons or corporations dealing
with the public and receiving valuable fran
chises on certain specified conditions. The only
excuse they can offer for noncompliance is
what the lawyers call an ''act of Cod or an in
terruption by reign of lawlessness which it
was the duty Of the police authorities to sup
press.

Frederick Douglass in his speech last night
distributed great chunks of sensible advice to
his coiored hearers, and through them to the
people OF his race in this country. His power
as an orator to thrill audience was not per-
mftted in this speech to take full control IN
checked by the dictates of sober thoughtful
ness, but his eloquence was subordinated to
practical wisdom, whose suggestions it admir-
ably supported and emphasized. His warning
against the drawing of the color line
In politics by the colored people them
selves is not the least notable feature
OF his remarks. ''It is commended" he says,
that we are now eight millions; that we hold
the balance Of power between the two great
political parties of the country, and that if we
were only united in one body under wise and
powerful leaders, we could shape the policy of
both political parties, make and unmake par
ties, control the destiny of the republic, and
secure for ourselves a desirable and happy fu-
ture." Against this view Mr.. Douglass argues
as q mistake pregnant with evil. THE founda-
tion," he says, upon which we stand in this
country is not strong enough to make
it safe to stand together. A nation
within a nation is an anomaly. There
can be but one American nation
under the American government and we are
Americans. The Constitution of the country
makes Us such, and our lines of activity should
accord with our citizenship. Espe-
cially we cannot afford to draw the color line
in politics. party acting upon that basis
would be not merely a misfortune but dire
calamity to the American people. 1t
Is also fair to state that no part Of the Ameri-
can people-Irish. Scotch, Italian or German
could attempt any such political iugglery with
less success than ourselves"
Undoubtedly these views are sound. The
negro complains justly that the color line in
politics is drawn to his disadvantage in the
south, and he demands that this discrimination
separating him from other American citizens
shall cease. He will stultify himself to draw the
color line of his own accord, to voluntarily
separate his race from other citizens of the
republic, and to bargain for the votes of the
race in body with contending political par
ties. The Indianapolis conference preceding
the last presidential election indicated the
scquiescence of small part of the colored
people in the idea, previously denounced with
indignation by the race, that colored voters are
essentially different from other voters and
must hold conventions and do their voting as a
distinct and separate people. The colored race
will not act wisely to justify race discrimina-
ton III politics by making such discrimination
