POLITICAL CH.iOS ~ AUSTRIA.

Austria has been frequently described as
patchwork of diverse races, united solely
by their feelings OF personal loyalty and attach
ment to the llapSburg dynasty. OF late, how
ever their Nationalist tendencies and autOnO-
nous pretenSionS have developed to such an
extent that the Empire resembles a crazy quilt
rather than an ordinary piece OF quiet and har-
monious patchwork. Indeed so bitter have the
racial differences become that the sovereign
has been forced to dissolve the Reichsrath with
ont even waiting for the annual budget to he
voted. His action was unexpected for it was
not generally known at the time that the various
groups composing the Government majority
were awaiting the debate on the financial esti-
mates of the year to press the claims of their
respective parties upon the Cabinet with threats
of an adverse vote in the event of their de-
mands being refused Anxious TO avoid the
loss of prestige involved by a Parliamentary
defeat. and realizing that the position of his
administration was so critical as to render any
change for the worse impossible the Premier
Count Taaffc, determined to appeal to the coun-
try and TO seek in new ReichSrath the ma
ioriy which he was about TO lose in the old one
From the manifesto issued by Count Taaffe
few DAYS after the dissolution of the Lcgs-
lature il would appear that the Government has

concessions For the Premier declares that he
looks for the Government majority among the
ModerateS rather than among the Nationalist,
and he. moreover. makes a direct bid for the
support of the working classes by the announce
ment that all the energies of his administration
will be devoted to obtaining from the new
Reichsrath legislation in their behalf

TgF BROOKLYN INSTITUTE PROJECT

The BrookEn Institute of Arts and Sciences,
an institution whose excellent work is well ana
favorably known to habitual readers OF IHE
TR,prrNE is about to submit to the Legislature
hill which we trust will not only meet with no
opposion among the people of Brooklyn, but
will on the other hand, receive cordial and
hearty support from those who will be the direct
REGIMENTS of the benefits which the measure is
designed to confer. The bill proposes that the
CITY of Brooklyn shall assume toward the In
stitute of Arts and Sciences tho same attitude
which the city of Newly orli holds toward the
Metropoitan Museum of Art and the American
Museum of Natural History. In short, it pro-
vides that the city authorities shall he EN-
powered TO issue bonds for the erection of a
buidng-or at least one wing OF building
for the Institute on the site which has already
been set aside for the purpose by legislative
action on the so-caled East Side lands, not far
from the entrance to Prospect Park. The
amount which it is proposed to expend for this
purpose is 100000, which at per cent means
an annual interest charge of only $4,000. The
sum asked for is not excessive; in fact, it may
trqithfully be termed modest.
Beyond question the action of the Legislature
the attitude of the Brooklyn city authorities and
by the sentiment disclosed on the part OF the
community which is to receive the benefits and
share the burdens of the proposed outlay. We
arc informed on good authority that the leading
officials of tho city are in favor of providing the
Institute with permanent home at the public
expense. Not only will they not oppose the
bill in question, but they are disposed TO give
it active support As it is now situated, the
Institute has no place in which to display the
valuable collections which belong to it and which
will come into its possession as soon as fire.
proof structure is provided Its old building
was badly damaged by fro last fall, and is,
moreover TO he condemned in order to make
way for the extension Of the Bridge. 1t has
property and resources amounting to about
5000. 900, which, of course, will DO used for
the establishment and maintenance of the
museums which it is hoped to establish on
scale worthy of big city like Brooklyn.
In or judgment this investment is one that
Brooklyn can well afford to make. This city
certainly has never seen reason to regret the
expenditure it has incurred in the museums
which are now among its leading ornaments
and attractions. The burden which the Brook
lyn taxpayers arc asked to assume is small
one, which can be easily borne. The Institute
authorities have no private or personal ends to
gain in the proposition they are making. Only
the general public good will be consulted if the
contemplated expenditure is made. 1t is to be
hoped that our sister city will improve the OPP
portunity now offered it for a display of genuine
public spirit, and that the bill in question will
soon become a law

Tile RRACE MEMORIAL FTND.

Soon after the death of the late Charles Loring
Brace, when it was proposed that statue
should be erected in some public place 10 com
memoratc his life and labors, TIE TRIBUNE
expressed the opinion that the Institution which
he founded was his best possible memorial. We
felt that 10 bronze or marble cfligy was needed
TO peipetuate his noble fame and make his
example fruitful and We suggested that 10 sup
port and extend tho work of the Children's
Aid Society would be the most appropriate and
useful tribute which this community could pay
We are glad 10 learn that tho trustees have
adopted this view, and have decided to under
take the establishment OF All endowment fund
which will bear his name and help to carry on
his work.
The Brace Memorial Fund has already started
with gift of so. 900 from a generous woman
who conceas her name from the public and
with this initiative and impulse we cannot
doubt that il will soon reach gOOdly proportions
We print this morning an appeal for subscrip-
tons. and brief statement suggesting the mag
nitude and value of the work which the society
is doing. Ii is scarcely Necessary to urge this
admirable cause upon the attention and the
consciences of our readers. We have made and
kept them familiar with it. We believe it to
be the simple truth that no charitable enter
prise in the world is making a better use Of the
money intruSted To it. Helping TO save friend
less and destitute children is helping 10 save
the community. Every dollar that is spent in
iescuing child from misery, ignorance and
vice is invested at compound interest. This aD

Lincons birthday has taken its place perma-
nently as one of the days which the American
peopie should hold in perpetual remembrance.
The observance of it is becoming more general
from year 20 year. The most noteworthy cele-
bration yesterday was that of the Republican
Club in this city, which gave a dinner, followed
nv n number of notable addresses. The toast
Of Abraham Lincoln was fittingly responded
to by DIR. Wayland, the eloquent Philadelphia
clergyman. The occasion was made doubly in
teresting by the presence of Mr. LincOln's sur
yiving associate, the Hon. Hannibal Hamn.
