The Committee on Art for the Columbus Gel
ebration have done an excellent thing In Offering
prizes of gold, silver and bronze medals for the
most artistic decorations upon the buildings
along the line of march Of tho great procession.
In order still further to assure the best results in
this direction pamphlet has been issued, en-
bodyng the suggestions Of two men so competent
TO advise upon the matter as Messrs. Stanford
White and Louis c. Tiffany. Their recommen-
dations are simple and practical, and are directed
toward enhancing the briliancy and effective
ness Of the decorative work that will be done.
The public spirit Of the city and the zest with
which it's citizens are entering upon the work OF
making scenic and picturesque background for
the Columbus celebration insure the success OF
these outward features Of the OCCASION but there
will be a keener rivalry and better directed eff
fort due 70 the wise and energetic work of the
Art Committee.

PRODUCTION AND ooNsU uPTIoN,

The New York Sun calls attention to the
shrinkage in recent years in the volume and
still greater shrinkage in the value Of the
grain which we ship TO foreign countries. and
declares that the food products OF the United
States will in q few years become insufficient
for the support Of our own people. Accord
ing 10 its estimate. we are adding some .50O.-
900 10 our population annually and therefore
il is necessary in order 10 maintain our PEE
sent standard of living that we should add
about 100000 acres yearly to the fields now
planted in grain, hay, potatoes and cotton for
domestic consumption.
The reports of the Agricultural Depart
ment show that the additions ten years ago.
which averaged moro than 5000. 900 acres
per year. have in later years fallen t. less
than 2,OO00O acres. and that very large
proportion of these insufficient additions
have been absorbed by meadows and cotton.

pointed out by the Sun is that we are now

Gold which Tourists Leave in Italy.


How does Italy, country without
gold mines, find the gold to pay the ten
millions year due to foreign holders of
her bonds, not to speak of the heavy bal
ance against her on her foreign trader
Mr.. Dering, secretary of the British en-
bassy in Rome, declares that the only
solution of the question at which it is
logically possible to arrive is that this
amount of gold is annually brought into
the country by foreign travellers, who
swarm during the four seasons of the
year in one part of Italy or the other.
From calculations made by the United
States consular representatives in vari-
GUS parts of this country it has been
computed that for the last ten years the
average expenditure in Italy of Ameri-
can citizens has been about 81, 600, 900.
Mr.. Dering thinks it would scarcely be
an exaggeration to place the collective
expenditure Of British, French, Austrian,
German and other foreign travellers at
double this amount.
This. we are reminded, is irrespective
Of the money spent in the country by
the 80 900 to 10000 pilgrims who annu-
ally visit the Eternal City, and of the
amount of which they are the bearers in
the shape Of donations TO the holy see.
