This gentleman, FRANKLIN W. Smith,
of Boston, is not q visionary man. He
has brought to Washington perfected
plan, the result OF forty years study and
observation in the capitals OF Europe.
He has enough money 10 be able to de-
vote the leisure Of his life to this sub.
tect. He has no object except to benefit
mis- country and to build at Washington
something that shall Eurpass in mag
nlficence and perfection Of design any
thing previously known in the history
OF the world. It is q most ambitious
project, but looked at with the placid
eyes OF criticism his plans appear practi-
cal and sincerely believe they will be
carried out.
TIE design for the gallery, for which
he paid the sum Of $1,000, was made by
Mr.. Renwick, the noted architect OF
New York. Iuiaan artistic embodiment
OF Mr.. Smiths idea. 1t represents to n
certain extent ideas gathered from the
study OF plate, an old one representing
the forum at Rome restored. In the
center is the Parthenon and to the right
and the left, descending through terraces,
is a succession CT galleries reaching out
so as to cover q space Of $50 acres. In
front OF this temple is bridge coming
up TO central arChways. This bridge
crosses an artificial waterway and is d
copy OF OF the Via sacra OF the Roman
forum. Along it's line are to be placed
statues Of the heroes Of American his
tory. This roadway terminates at a
triumpbal arch to be named after
Washington. Between it and the Par
thenon on the heights is second arch,
which Is to be nsmed after Lincoln. To
the right and the left Of the arches are
semi.clrcular approaches like those in
front OF St. Peters in Rome. The gal
leries to the right and left are built in
squares. The plan is so vide, so beauti-
| hi, and GO comprehensive that the
| involuntary remark upon first seeing it
| is that it is the dream OF an enthusiast.
| Where could money enough DO found
| to build RucIi a magnificent structure.

For q number OF years come of the
most enlightened men at the Capital
have thought much upon the lack Of a
National building devoted to art. These
men have travelled far and wide, and had
observed the fact that every Capital in
Europe, however small, has its great art
museum, and that from this as center
had been developed the ekilled indus
triesof technical arts which had brought
into each Nation the money Of cultivated
foreigners. The DRIFT OF opinion was
further stimulated by the act Of Mr.. Cor
coran. who gave first a definite, specific
sum for the sole purpose OF advancing
art at the Capital. Congress has always
been very spasmodic and unintelligent
in its treatment ofthe artg. Itis only by
an odd chance that good statue has
been built in Washington with the pub.
lie money. The architecture OF our
public buildings 10 matter OF hazard.
There is to-day no organized bureau
competent to take charge Of such sub.
ierta as architecture aud the arts.
On the public buildings committees OF
Congress there are men OF cultivation
and taste, but in the mass OF Congress
this cultivation in the direction OF arts
has but little influence. Anything
really good in this field can be accom-
plis6ed only through years OF work.
The terraces around the Capitol build:
ing were secured only after years OF
struggle. The Public Library building
is the result of fifteen years Of aEga-
ment. Tho mass OF men in Congress
know nothing about art and care less.
lis value as an educational factor they
might be willing to ConCede, but when
it comes to an intelligent comprehension
OF come specific plan for the advance.
ment of art Congress turns deaf ear.
The countryis not far enough advanced,
but there has recently appeared upon
the scene gentleman who, while he Is
in advance Of general public sentiment
upon this subject, hag firm conviction
that he will be able to interest enough
educated rich people to cooperate with
him in the establishment at the Capital
Of great art institution, the influence
of which will be felt through all time.

The Kansas House OF Represents
tives Of 1904, which contained Of its
los members 23 Republicans, passed
without opposition on February 10,
House bill No. 126, by Hon. George
e. Smithy Of Smith county, "An act
to provide for printing and dis
tributing ballots at public expense,
and 10 regulate voting at state and
city elections" On February 23,
this bill was messaged to the Senate.
It wHS resd twice, referred to the
committee on elections, reported
fsvorsblySnd then allowed to die.
OF the forty members Of the Senate,
all but FIVE Edward Carroll, Henry
Elliston, L. P. King, J. w. Rush and
s. O. Wheeler voted to elect John J.
Ingalls, for a 6Ourth term to the
United States Senate One may see
by this how strong machine Repub-
licanism is in the present state Sem
ate, and how adverse il is TO the Aus
tralian ballot system. AT the next
presidential election, the Atlantic
states that will not vote under the
ballot system that protects che indi-
vidusl voter and tends against COR
ruption are Florida Georgia, North
Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.
The mountain states are Colorado,
Idaho and Nevada, and the Missis-
sippi valley states are Alabama,
Louisiana, Mississippi, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Texas and Kansas.
Let Kansas freemen remember that
9 Republican State Senate and gov
ernOr blocked the way for a free bal

But it is to be hoped that Kansas Re-
publicans ii 1891 may avoid doing
some Of the things that they prac-
ticed in 1890

"A FREE BALLOT, A FAIR COUNT AND
AN HONEST RETURN"

In 1854, Kansas was the banner Re
publican state Of the American union,
and moreover that claim was made
for it by Kansas Republicans after the
presidential election in 1883. And
yet, perhaps, by reason Of the great
Republican Waterloo in Kansas, at
the election in 1890 the remnant Of
the Republican organization in this
great central state, without reasonable
doubt stands in ghastly fear Of 4 free
ballot "a ballot on election day with
which their party bosses have nothing
to do.
This great patriotic party has been
notorious in itsmethods to control, TO
intimidate and to purchase by means
Of money and other seductions, bpch
as the use Of stimulating fluids, the
least intelligent least honest and
most easily persuaded class of voters.
Kansas Republicans, who are skilled
as managers, are wont to avail them
selves Of methods to secure on cleo
ton day, which processes justly de-
serve the exeCrations Of true, honest
men, and which iniquitOus o8enses
smell to heaven" au

THE Chicago Tribune, the great Re-
publican paper Of the northwest, with
the late Senator ingalls,, believes in
"a coalition Of the conservative forces"
and thus expresses itself so that one
may know what manner Of spirit the
remnant Of the Republican party is:
II It should appear that there was real danger
Of the Peoples party holding together, the Re
publicanS and Democrats would unite against
the common enemy.
The Republican leaders are the
party in Kansas, and they give the
word OF command that the Republi-
can lsity in Dickinson, Gesry and
Morris counties shall support James
Humphrey, late Democratic railroad
commissioner, for judge Of the dis
trict court and they give the like
command to the Republicans Of
Chase, Marion and MCPHERSON coun-
ties TO support Lucien Earle a. life

He has also Withdrawn from the

There will ever be a dark cloud rest
ing over his political fame.
The father Of President Harrison,
who was in Congressional life in the
memorable campaign Of 1856, who
ardently espoused the cause Of Pres
ton s. Brooks as against Charles
Sumner, and Of course gave his sup
port 70 Millard Fillmore for presi-
dent. 1t is an old adage that blood
will tell, and it is not surprising at
all that President Benjamin Harrison
should in his lofty position feel that it
wasa nice thing to do to issue the fore
going 'tin plate manifesto. But the
Wing bourbons went the way Of all
the earth and the Republican bour-
bOns after the lapse of years, seem TO,
be tumbling rapidly after them. And
yet some Of the ardent votaries Of,
this last Republican president, are
quick to bestow praise upon him, pre-
facing the publication Of his 'tin
plate" letter with this: ''Don't want
tins" "Psrty first, country last"
President Harrison shows surprise
at the lack Of patriotism among the
Democrats" "The chief magistrate
cannot understand how an American
can wolk TO thwart the establishment
Of new industry in this country"
What verdancy is displayed by these
political high priests and Pharisees
these Republicans and sinners when
in their anointed mantles OF self
righteousness and assumed saviors
of the American republic, they JIM
pute an infdelity TO the best interests
of the nation on the part Of American
citizens, who are not in the pale Of
the Republican party, and who pretty
well understand the blatant cry Of
more protection little more assist
snce TO "infant industries" Must
these political infants, like our presir-:
dent, forever thrust illogical pfati-
tudes upon the intelligent people of
our land, insisting meanwhile that
their mouthingO are cardinal prinCi-
Piles in sound political economy.
It is suggested that this 'tln plate"
letter be made a part Of the presi-
dents third annual message to Con
gress.

are "StS6ject to the same rules and
regulations as if originally imported
there"
They may, therefore, remain in this
new port in government warehouses
for another term OF three years, If
desired, and may still be exported ut
the discretion Of the owner, without
payment of the tax. By this time these
goods have increased in value by the
"sging process" and by repeated sea
voyages from 80 or 40 cents per gal
lon up to eight or ten dollars, being
sold at these fancy prices to tickle
the palates Of millionaire ariStocrsts,
and the duty, when finally paid, is
equal only TO the internal revenue tax
due in the start.
It will be seen that the rise in
value is better than money at COM
pound interest.
But the end is not yet. 1t seems
that the commissioner Of internal
revenue when he made his report in
1887 was not entirely satisfied with
the wsrehousing privileges already
provided, and was very solicitous that
these privileges should be extended
to another class Of distilleries. We
quote what he says on this subject be-
cause the commissioner plainly ex-
presses the object in granting these
privileges. On page XIX OF the
report he says:
Idoem 1t proper to urge anew that legislation
be had authorizing the establishment Of special
ware houses for the storage Of brandy made from
apples or peaches, or from any fruit whose dis
tllati0n may be authorized under the rules ana
regulations which govern the diStlllatiOn OF the
frnitB named. '''' '''', I,
Such ware houses for the storage Of brandy
DISABLED from grapes only were authorized by
tina ACt approved March 3, 1887, and have been
estSbliBhed for ten years past.
The existing law In relation to the production
Of brandy from apples, peaches or grapes OK.
CluSlVely, permits the dlsller Of these fruits to
be exempted from the burden Of providing q
ware house upon the dlstillery premises, at his
own expense, for the exclusive storage Of all
spirits made by him, such as Ii required Of dis
tillerS Of grain; but in place Of the custody Of
the spirits which the government naintalnS, in
case OF storage In ware house, the diStiller Of
brandy from apples and peaches Is compelled to
make immediate payment Of the tdr, which pay
ment can, under exlStltg regulations, and with
due regard to effective collection Of the tax, be
deferred not later than four months from the
time Of making report Of the production Of the
spirits.
This early payment of the tGI u regarded bv
the distiller as q great hardship, as q cOmpels
him to meet thu tdr before the spirits haze aged
sufficiently to be ready for sale, and before
profitable market can be obtained.
How considerate it is In the gov
ernment to thus seek to relieve the
poor distillers from the Hardship" of
being compelled to pay the tax on
their product "before it has aged
sufficiently to be ready for sale, and
before profitable market can be OBJ
tanned" Such paternal care and re-
gard should entitle the government
to the everlasting gratitude Of these
poor fellows. The more we study
this question the more new beauties
we discover in it. Who has heard of

A CALIFORNIA MILLIONAIRE:

Henry Lux, One of the Golden Gates Big
Men, a Visitor in Helena.
Among the guests at the Broadwater is
Henry Lux, of the firm Of Lux d Miller,
the cattle kings of California. This is
NJ. Lux's first visit to Montana, and he is
very much pleased with the country. The
Broadwater, in particular, takes his fancy,
it being, as he expresses it. a resort of
which any city might we'll be proud. Lux
d Miller own over LOCO, 000 acres of land in
California, 100000 acres being in ore BODY
in the Joaquin valley, and 400, 900 acres in
another body in a different section of the
state. 1t ID all under fence, and On it they
run S0.OC0 head of cattle and about 5000
horses. In addition they own ranches in
Oregon and thousands of cattle in that
state. The firm has almost a mo-
nopoly of the beef bus moss in ran
Francisco, shipping principally to that
city. Some of the land they let
10 farmers on shares, the lessee taking the
grain and Lux 4 Miller the stubble. The
latter they use tor feeling their fat cattle.
Unlike Montana growers, they do not ship
directly ftom the range to market, but are
compelled to- feed all stock III order to put
them in condition for sluughtering. The
INN employs q small army of men in then
business. Mr.. Lux is about II years old. Il
though one of ths wealthiest men in Cali
%fornla, he Is PLAIN and u~nassuming. He
nude MS fortune from Il very small begin

The Freight Rate Agitation,

Things are getting topsy-turvey in the
railroad business when western lines teach
conservatism to their eastern brethren, SAYS
a Chicago dispatch. But that is Just what
is coming to pass. Before the organization
of the Western Traffic association, western
roads fairly fell over each other in their
efforts to meet a reduced competing rate.
Nowadays 1t seems impossible to budqe a
rate in western territory. The $l.O7 tariff
of the West Shore and Canadian lines ia kes
all the traffic affected from the Chicago
lines. Ordinarily the rate would have been
met Immediately. Representatives of the
Chicago-st. Paul lines met in Chairman
Midgely's office the other day and decided
to ignore the rate, but coupled it with an
earnest request to the trunk lines to take up
the matter with the West Shoteimmediatcly
and luz uce it to rescind the tariff. The only
present anger Of a collapse ii rates is on
VIC o. from Utah common eoints to Chicago.
The Si.t7 tar # from Utah common points
Wa f. Louis, Memphis, Savannah and
ocean to Boston is taking all that business.
The Atchison. Burlington and Rock Island
refused at first to meet this rate via Chi
cago because they would get their full
locals to the river. Now they find the Mis-
souri, Pacific gobbling tho whole fleece for
the southern route. They declare thew
cannot afford to be gouged out of the
whole business, and must meet tho situa-
tlun.

Denver Dayton's Bank.

Denver p. Dayton, the ticket agent at the
Northern Pacific depot, has a savings bank
which he would not trade for one of the
~new-fangled arrangements, even if the lat
ter was full of dimes. Those who know
Dayton are aware that he is not an old man.
50 when he tells that he has had his saw
lngs bank for thirteen years, ons knows he
must have been quite a little chap when he
put bis first nickel in it. 1t will hold about
$50 in dimes, is of perforated iron. about
an inc and a half deep, four inches long
and three inches broad. 1t is ~srrrmounted
by an alligator into whose capacious mouth
Dayton drops ALI his spare chnnge. 1.-The

said the other day. lis because l remember
the struggle l had to get it. Isaw it one
to possess it. 1t was pretty expensive, but
| saved all my pennies and finally got to
within FIVE cents of the amount. There
was q toll bridge in my neighborhood
which we were compelled to cross

to come along. Finally one came, l got
into it. rode over, saved my nickle, and the
next day bought the bank. l lave had it
with me ever since, and it is very valuable
