THE FUTURE HOME OF ART.

The decision of the famous painter We
rcschagin to sell his pictures at auction in
this country is the latest proof that the
United States is fast becoming the worlds
home for art. Many critics consider the
gifted Russian the greatest master of the
century; in the line of severe realism there
is certainly one whose effects are SO
startling and whose yig0r is so tremendous.
Born to wealth, he devote ed the best years of
his life to travel and study, and when he
transferred his recollecJions and his con-
ceptions to canvas he refused TO exchange
them for coin and kept them for himself. A
sense of duty impeiled him in 1887 to ex-
hbit them in the Grosvenor Gallery in Lon
don. The world of art was then amazed at
the rugged power displayed in his battle
pieces, in his " Blowing SepoyS from the
mouth of cannon" in his march of pris-
oners," while critics could not decide
whether to applaud or 10 condemn his en-
trely novel treatment of such well-wOrn
themes as the "Crucifxion and the
" Resurrection" The storm raised by the
pre-Raphaelite uprising of forty years ago
was gentle zephyr in comparison with the
controversy he caused.
From London part of the collection was
transferred TO this country, where it has
been exhibited in the leading cities of the
East 1t is now proposed to sell it, and the
event will naturally raise the old question
whether the private ownership Of paintings
of the first merit is consistent with the true
interests of art. There are numbers of per-
sons in the Eastern States who have the
means to buy Vereshagin's masterpieces,
and who are quite willing TO invest money in
such property. If they do the works will
practically be lost to art and will merely
become source of qualification to their
owners and their guests; whereas, if the
whole collection could be bought and placed
in some such gallery as that OF the Metro
politan Museum, it would educate hundreds
of promising painters, and might in time
bring to life an American Vereschagin who
would shed luster on his country.
We have before us examples of the two
ways Of dealing with art In France the
greatest paintings produced Invariably drift
into public galleries. They do not all get
into the Louvre or the Luxembourg, but
there are other galleries 10 which students
have access where canvases by the great
masters of the day find resting place. Oc-

FOE FAIR PLAY.

The Supreme Court of this State has un-
der consideration various laws governing
the appointment of election officers. There
is an old law to the effect that the board
shall consist of three members, supervisor
and two judges. A more recent enactment
requires the appointment of two inspectors
as well as two judges. AS both laws require
election officers to be appointed as nearly
equally as possible from the two national
parties, it follows that under the old law the
dominant party has two members of the
board to one for the minority party
Under the later law the representation Of
parties in the board is equal, let either
party be in power. 1t has been said in de-
Tense Of the old law that it was as fair for
ore party as for the other. Whichever
party might be in power las two members
to one for The minority party. The asser-
ton tina, law giving the dominant party
two members to one for the minority is as
fair for one party as for the other is true
only upon the assumption that both
parties are equally scrupul0us or unscrupu-
lous-that one is as ready as the other to
take advantage Of the fact that it has two
members Of the board to one for the other
party. The assumption is hardly discusSa-
be. There are GIBBS and flows in rascality.
One party may be the more honest at
one period and the other at another period.
Much depends upon the kind of men in each
party who have control. At the present
time the Democratic party is under the con-
trol of its wort element. There was
deliberate attempt at the last election to
count Republicans out. The recount held
af er the ele ton established this fact be-
yond dispute. But what we want is a law
that is not only as fair to one party as to the
other, but one that is fair to both. The Gil
cumstance that a party is in the minority
is no reason why it should be cheated in
counting, simply because when it RECEIVERS
power it viii have chance TO cheat like

THE MONEY PANIC.

1t is said that about $50, 100000 will be re-
Quired to pay duties on imported goods
brought into the country in advance of a
demand for them with view to evade the
higher rates of duties imposed by the Nc
Kinley bill. In consequence of this I'M
usual demand for money the market is
stringent and the importers call uron Sec
Rotary Window for relief. The Secretary
responds with proposition to extend the
time in which duties may be paid until
February LIST, giving the importers the bene-
fit of four months credit. This proposition
on the part of Secretary Window is liberal.
The object of the Mckinley bill is to make
goods imported after it should go into effect
nav higher duties than are imposed
under tile present tariff. That object i'm
porters sought to defeat in a measure by
bringing goods into the country in advance
Of the needs of the market Goods have
been imported this summer for use next
summer. importers are not to be censured
for an effort to get goods into the country
at the lowest rates of duty, but as their gain
would be the cOuntry's loss, a Secretary of
the Treasury less disposed than Mr.. Win
dom to listen to complaints coming from the
financial center Of the country would have
told the importers that a concerted move
ment on their part to reduce the revenue OF
the Government below what the law in
tended, should be conducted at their own
risk. There was nothing criminal in the
transaction: the importers had legal right
to Increase imports IN anticipation of
higher tariff rates, but they could hardly
ask the Government to aid them in their en-
terprise. But Uncle Sam is an exceedingly
good-natured sort of fellow, and through his
representative he said to the importers who
had been trying to keep a little money from
coming into his pocket, that as they could
not conveniently carry the transaction
through without assistance, he would extend
a helping hand.

RoLL-CALLs OF THE HOUSE.

In speech at Portland a few days before
the Maine election, Speaker Reed explained
at some length the nature Of the obstruc-
tons to the work before the House before
the adoption of the new rules. The session
of the House two years ago, he said. lasted
one month and half longer than the
present session up to the time when Mr.
Reed was Speaker. During that session
there were 266 roll-calls, each consuming
half an hour of time. OF the whole number
of roll-calls, Sc were recorded during the
long filibusterng against the direct tax bill.
OF the 140 remaining roll-calls about 40 were
of a filibustering character, leaving 100 that
may be considered as legitimate. The 1875
filibustering roll-calls consumed 63 hours.
Speaker Carlisle was then in the chair and
his personal qualifications for the office
are conceded. Mr.. Reed concludes that the
time had come for the House to adopt rules
that would enable it to do business.

AN AUTHORS COMPLAINT.

Miss NJ. E. Braddon recently published a
card complaining that her name had been
attached by American publishers to stories
she had not written. A story called ''Tiger
Head" was given as an example. Miss
Braddon also stated that she had seen her
stories in all sorts Of American publications
and had made no protest, although she had
never received dollar from American pub
fishers. The editor of a New York story
paper replies to Miss Braddon's card that
the story of Tiger Head was purchased
from one Williams. who was at the time en-
pl0yed by Mr.. Maxwell, the husband of Miss
Braddon. The New York editor also states
that lie has paid Miss Braddon thousands
Of dollars for advance sheets of her stories,
although her stories did not always prove 70
be satisfactory. The fact that Miss Brad
don and other popular English noreists
have received large sums for advance sheets
of their works is well known. These ad-
vance sheets give the publishers purchasing
them an advantage in time over compete
tors. and this advantage has been literally
paid for. II does not seem, upon close ex-
animation, that foreign authors have so

san FRANo1soo,s DISGRACE.

Every Democrat of intelligence in San
Francisco knows that Buckley and his lambs
control the nomination of the candidates
for Office in this city without an exception.
No names 90 upon the so-termed Democratic
ticket unless Buckley consents to it. What
is the result? Just what we have witnessed
for several years past. that is, Buckley'>
instruments fill all the offices which are Of
importance to the ring from financial point
Of view. Buckley has candidate for every
office except a few names, possibly not
more than two or three, which are used to
deceive the public and give his instruments
a sort Of responsibility in oIder Is elect men
who will do his bidding. There is no eX-
aggeFaton in this exposure OF the situation
IN San Francisco at this time. Our citizens
have seen, for instance, that there are
always Just enough Supervisors to pass any
ordinance. Never is there a failure in this
reSpe I. As a rule nearly all of the depart
ments have elective officers who are pledged
to permit the ring to control even their depu-
ties, and these deputies are often men who
are willing TO do almost anything required
OF them. The result is that no case goes be-
fore petty juries in our courts, or even be-
fore grand jurie5, where there is much GER
tainty of the result. The punishment of
crime under the present condition of affairs
in San Francisco is by no means certain. Are
our citizens willing to continue the Buckley
regime in power? We cannot believe that
they are, but the question arises. how can
they help themselves? We may refuse to
vote for a single candidate for Office who is
nominated by tie Buckley ring. Our citi-
zens can put up candidates for Office if they
please. We can first revert to the Republic
can ticket if their candidates should be fit to
support; if not there should be another
ticket nominated e,pectve of party, and

thing in the direction Indicated sooner or
later, and the sooner it is done the better
will it be for the city of San Francisco.

like M. Secretan sets up picture gallery.
but the collection is generally dispersed at
his death if not before. The consequence is
that in France students of art have always
access to the supreme conceptions of the
greatest masters, and-if the divine fire is
in them-can learn to do likewise. Precisely
the opposite rule is pursued in England. Inc
National Gallery contains some fine paint
ings, and there are in London fifty other
galleries of art where the student can spend
a day with pleasure and profit. But the
nobest paintings of the century are In
private houses; in the galleries oil noble
men and wealthy commoners who ouy PIC
lures as they buy palaces, as matter oil
ostentation or personal delectatlon. FROM
these the student Is generally excluded.
We are drifting in this country IN the
wake of the English. Our mllllonalres-
and they are numerouS-are the best Gus
toners of European artists; the choice
works at each successive salon are apt to 1all
into American hands and to adorn galleries
to which the public has no right OF admls-
sion. Large-minded men like Mr.. Wander
bilt are pleased to admit an occasional
student to their galleries. But an appllca-
ton must be made, and an obligation in
cured which sometimes jars on the sensl-
tive senses of timid worker in art.
1t is often said that there is no provision
in the Constitution by which art can be as
sisted out of the Federal revenues This
may appear to be so to the strict construc-
ZIONIST. But law was found to warrant the
payment of large sums of money for the
paintings which cover if they do not adorn
the rotunda OF the Capitol at Washington;
and if Congress can spend money on paint
ings in one place why not in another?
Considerable sums are annually spent and
well spent on the Congressional Library,
though the Constitution says nothing about
fostering letters. If liberal construction
of the organic instrument justifes the
spending of the public money on books
which do not reach the library through the
copyright law, could it not likewise war
rant some expenditures for National
Gallery of Art?

For some months past the family of DR.. l..

has been greatly puzzled and Inconvenience
by the disappearance of one small article
after another A servant was at first sus-
pected of the thefts and sent away, but find
ing that they still continued she was taken
back, and the mystery remained as profound
as ever. The pulling part of the matter
was the articles selected, for the thief would
often pass over more valuable things to pur-
loin trifles of no worth. Spools of thread,
thimbles, a pair of gold eyeglasses, pens and
small coins disappeared from under their
very noses until, the family say. they were
beginning to suspect magic.
At last DIR. Mayderry missed valuable
shirt-button. and concluding the affair had
gone far enough, engaged detective to
ferret out the thief, but after weeks
work the officer confessed himself baff1ed.
However, accident solved the mystery a

looked carefully about to see whether it wa
observed or not, hop with its prize TO large

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Board Of Ordnance and FOrtifcatons re-
Gently approved the scheme Of coast defenses
outlined by the Chief of Engineers, so far as 1t Is
covered by available appropriations. The plan
contemplates, las the commencement of a COM
prehensye system OF Defense" the immediate
construction of Notifications at New York,
Boston, Hampton Roads, Washington ana San
Francisco, the total expenditures ultimately
reaching S34,O00,00O. OF which S16.000,000
will he required for New York. The effective
range of heavy rifles has led TO important
changes in the plan of 1881. Where formerly
1000 yards was deemed Il safe allowance for the
position of Notifications in advance OF a city or
depot to be defended 1900 to II. 900 yards Is
now considered not too far for the exterior line

centration of a disastrous fire on the most power
