OUGHT TO DO OUR BEST.

have no means of know ing what has
yet been done, but I feel confident of
entirely satisfactory results. The
choice of Mr.. Ives is an excellent one,
and will result not only in a good gen.
eral exhibit properly managed, but in a
home representation that will be cred
liable to the country.
1t will be a great mistake if our
painters do not do their very best.
Sometimes think that European
countries understand the necessity
for special effort better than we
do. France, | know, will make the
best showing she possibly can She is
bound to do this, and she wishes to do
it. England, | understand, is prepar-
ing to make her most brilliant effort
have not heard much from Germany,
but know that country is not at all
likely to let her exhibit fall below the
best she can produce.
And thus with Spain, from which it
seems probable that we shall have some
of the finest things at the fair. But, de-
pend upon it. every nation that has any
art will be represented in the art de-
partnent in Chicago, and will be rep
resented at it's best.
II behooves us, then, to make the
American exhibit as strong as we can
make it. If anybody can compete with
France for the leadership of the world
we can in this country. We cannot do
this unless our artists will send their
very best work
am told by those who should know
that France is making preparations for
the Chicago show on basis broader
than anything that has been done even
at the Paris expositions. If what have
learned of France and England be true,
and if Germany, Spain and other Eu-
ropean countries operate on anything
like the same plane. we are likely, with
the aid of pure American exhibit, to
have at Chicago next year the greatest
art exhibition ever held in any country.

that we nave accomplished In that
one art something which can stand
with the best of the rest of the world.
Note, of course, that it is an inferior
art, but so are some departments OF lit
erature that are cultivated with the
greatest pains inferior to others. The
novel may not strike SO high a note as
certain older forms, and yet it may be
excellent work of it's kind.
Now. in painting, we may do as well
as any men living, yet we shall not
have equaled Rembrandt, let US say,
or Velasquez or Titan. We are not
likely to surpass Michael Angelo or
Phidias in sculpture.
But in glass the few excellencies we
have reached are those that the Eu-
ropean has long given mp striving for.
No one over there thinks of rivaling
the work of the greatest past in tie
questions of richness, depth of color.
and what might be called orchestra
ticn; so that their work compared to
ours looks weak, timid. even if it be
sometimes inoffensive from its lack of
power.
Owing to this practice of art being a
new departure hereby new I mean
since our last exposition-there has
been no proviso for its exhibition. We
have acted according to one of the
faults of the American imagination
taking for granted that the European
has covered all that can be done, and
that his classification, when it leaves
out something, implies that that thing
has no possibility Of existence. So,
owing to the fact that the classification
of European expositions has not given
adequate representation to art in glass
because there was no such thing there
or rather, should say, nothing of it
that could not be adequately represent
ed by a picture or drawing, conse-
quently quite representable by that
picture or that drawing-we, initiating
their classification, have made no such
department.

LocustS and Eanaticlsm.

Locusts have been doing great dam
age in some of the districts of Cape Col
ony, and the legislature has been con-
sidering how to deal with the plague.
Some of the Cape farmers believe that
nothing should be done. The following
clipping is report of what took place
At a meeting of a village council 1t is
from a Cape newspaper: ''Ntr. S. Grob-
Ter said he had heard about the making
OF a locust law, and spoke in solemn
terms of the godlessness of such a plan.
Mr.. |. Greef said that If they would
make a law to destroy locusts they must
take into account which King is their
ruler. Mr.. c. Scheepers spoke in the
same spirit, whereupon the following
motion was proposed by C. Scheepers
and seconded by l. Greeff: Seeing To-
Gusts are a plague which cannot be
looked upon otherwise than as pun
jshment sent US from above, this meet
ing most strongly condemns the procla-
nation of law for the eradication of
the said plague This was carried"

THE ART OF GLASS.

I have been asked: "Will the art ex-
hibits at the fair be given prominent
placer"
From what I have seen of the ar
rangement of the really beautiful build
ing to be devoted specially to artistic
exhibits ! should say that they will be
most prominently set forth.
Naturally the question has arisen: SIS
there reason to expect a strong Ameri-
can art exhibit" | should like to say,
and say it as distinctly as possible, that
of the buildings, their character, the or
der which has presided over them, the
whole picture of them, will be the
strongest American exhibit of art
ever made. Of course we have TO
suppose that all will be carried out
as ali has been begun, but In my opin-
ion most certainly all European ex-
positions, as far as the buildings, as far
as the artistic appearance, is concerned,
will have been comparatively barbar-
GUS OF course. again. We must suppose
that the completed work will be car
ried out with the same care all the way
through
We should certainly have whatever is
or whatever has been American repre-
sented And each person should take

not danger that too much emphasis will
be .aid upon painting, TO the exclusion

BOIES Iy THEIR MAN.
The Democrats of Iowa VIII Urge Him for
tho Presidency.


DEs MONIES. Jan. lit is the purpose OF
the Iowa Democrats to present the name Of
Gov. Boies to the next Democratic National
Convention as a candidate for President. At
the meeting Of the Democratic State Central
Committee yesterday the matter was dis
cussed at some length. The committee had
met to close UP the affairs OF the last cam
pagn. When this business was disposed OF
Chairman Fullen brought up the question Of
Coy. Boies's candidacy and urged the neces-
sty of immediate action.
He, said there. is much probability Of the
nomination coming West. and there is no more
promising candidate to be found than the Coy
party to victory in three successive cam mpaigns:
His record is known throughout the land. and
he has earnest friends and supporters in every
State in the Union. and organized effort should
be made to get them together and at work in
tho right direction.
Mr.. Fullen's remarks met with the approval
Of every member OF the committee. and 1t was
decided to call early state Convention to
select delegates to tho next National Conven-
tion when the time and place OF holding the
Convention shall have been made known.
Iowa Democrats are in earnest in the move
mcnt to present the name OF Gov. Boies as Q
