THAT MUSEUM OPENING.
The decision of the board of trustees of
the Metropolitan Museum to open the build
ing on Sunday is only halfway concession
after all. They have reserved the right 10
close il again, and it will be open only from
O'Clock in the afternoon until sunset As the
employees are paid by the day it is difficult TO
see where any economy comes in. 1t would
cost no more TO have the doors thrown open
from o'clock in the morning than at o'clock
in the afternoon, and by this means the pub
lie would be accommodated and the
crush lessened. The movement which
eliminated in such pressure upon the trus-
tees that they were obliged To give way to
public sentiment has been growing for many
years. II is astonishing what an amount of
money and logic and pluck it cost to bring
the trustees TO the position which the public
has assumed in the matter The museum
Is primarily for the people, and it has always
been most absurd idea TO keep it closed on
That one day, when the people have the oppor-
tunity OF visiting II. No apprehension is felt
concerning the necessary appropriations for
keeping the place open on Sunday. The park is
thronged every Sunday by thousands of peo-
pie. and after they have enjoyed the advant-
ages which the museum affords their influence
