plnce where the business enterprise is not
elastic enough TO accommodate Itself to the
extraordinary requirements OF an occasion
like the memorable Inauguration OF Presi-
dent CLEVELAND and the formal return OF
the Democracy to power after ex clusion for
a generation.
In other words. the jubilant Democrats
who got drunk at Washington last Saturday
were victims Of Inadequate provisions for
their proper refreshment In weather SO in
clement. rather than pitiable examples OF
chronic Vicious tendencies. Not being able
to get enough to eat they drank too
much, as they could easily do under such
circumstances. Moreover. their physical
discomforts because Of the terrible weather
drove them to the whiskey bottle. and they
succunbed to Its baleful power. overtaxing
their capacity for drink. though they may
not have exceeded tho allowance which
under other circumstances they could have
carried gracefully. They simply made
pardonable mIscalculation. forgetting their
peculiar situation.
1t must also be remembered that the Re-
publlcans at Washington last Saturday had
good reason for depression Of spirits. The
nucleus Of tho population OF the Federal
capital Is the body OF Government Office
holders. and at present all Of them are
OF that party. 1t is reasonable to as
sumo. therefore. that the. extraordi-
nary amount OF drunkenness witnessed
by our shocked informants must have
occurred largely among these discom-
fitted and foreboding Republicans. The
louder the shouts OF the triumphant De-
mocracy, the lower must have been the
sinking OF their hearts. and IL they sought
feeting consolation in the intoxicating
bowl. we may lament their folly in over
looking the increase Of sorrow they were
bringing to themselves as a consequence OF
their intemperance. but we cannot denounce
them as especially fragrant examples OF the
weakness Of human nature. They were In
low spirits. poor fellows. They knew very
we'll that there was little reason for hope in
them because Of President CLEvELASD's s
inaugural declaration that the Offices belong
Of right to intrinsic fitness rather than
mere partisan zeal. for such fitness must be
as much more in quantity among the VIC
torious Democrats as these arc more nu-
merous than the vanquished Republicans.

Tho Natural History Museum.

Before the trustees OF the Natural His
tory Museum again present plans for the
approval OF the Park Board. they ore
bound to consider this point:
Whom II was finally determined to discon.
tinue the use Of Manhattan Square as q
park. and build upon it. for tho purpose Of
accommodating q museum, the first thing
thought Of was TO arrange for the most
rational and economical use OF the ground
consistent with the needs of an exhibition.
The citys plan for tho museum building
formulated and decreed In 1872 after long
and intelligent study, can be said to ad-
init of no alteration. At least. no alter
native has been offered which. like the OFF,
cial plan, fills the requirements OF the case
and 1t is difficult to conceive how any such
alternative can be devised. Thirty-two
hundred running feet of building. In round
figures. were provided for in the scheme
first chosen and begun. 2.20O In the grand
quadrangle designed to form the facade
upon the street. and 900 feet In tho four
armed interior cross. After certain amount
OF land had been left open by setting back
the northern and southern fronts from the
street line in order to give fitting dignity
to their approach. not n foot was spared
for the purposes OF building.
The plan lately submitted by the trustees,
doubtless without the rigid examination
previously bestowed upon tho subject by
the city officials assigned to study it, would
cut the structure down from $500 running
feet to 1920. while enclosing and monopo-
lizing the same broad area Of park space.
Their plan conclusively stops the further
building of the cross. and IL the section al
ready erected is to be subjected to the reck-
less and violent qualification threatened by
the new lecture hall. it will inevitably have
to be torn down, not upon any debatable
issue OF architectural taste. but In obedi-
ence to the pressure OF architectural conf
mon sense.
Manhattan Square is worth in money over
$5000.O00. The trustees would render nor-
tion of it that must be valued at least ut q
million and half. substantially useless.
Is tho clty's land to appropriated to build
ings and then treated regardless OF economy
in space? If tho Natural History Society
doesn' expect to need all the room origi-
nally dedicated to its collections. Il por-
tion OF it can be transferred to other par
ties. There is no lack OF worthy enter
prises. private or public. that could occupy
the area of Manhattan Square with general
advantage. Certainly New York has no
land to throw away.
Whatever plans may be hereafter SUBJ
mitted. they should be prepared in the
fixed understanding that the cruciform
scheme laid out by the city must DO re-
spected and preserved. That can no more
be abandoned than great room can be put
in q public building and then sealed up. ..

We are not surprised. however, to find
the Rev. GREEN CLAY SMITHS friends fall
into the error OF supposlng that their

LANDS view that there is absolutely no
connection between service to political
party and holding Office is perfectly well
known. and his carrying out that view is to
be expected. More than once before the

subordinate and uninfluential. The vast
and far-reaching change OF economic policy
to be made. naturally engrosses attention ;
and 1t Is possible enough that dur

Senator Stanford's Regard For His Horses.
 In employing men to work at Palo Alto the late senator gave them the most strict orders. They were told never to strike, kick or whip horse, and his in structions to his men were: Always do a thing little better than anybody else, and you will succeed. When you han dle horse, treat him little better than any one else. When you breed horse, breed him to a little better stock each time" -as
 It was in this way that Stanford revo- lutionized the horse breeding of the coun- try. He never allowed one of his men to i'll use a horse, and they knew it. There is never noise or blows around the Palo Alto stables, and the horses are never frightened. To show his feeling toward his horses the late Henry Vrooman once told of an occurrence when he was din- ing with Senator Stanford. Just after the dinner one of the drivers insisted that he must see the senator. He was ushered in, with blood over his face, which was badly cut. "John knocked me down." explained the man, referring to ono of the trainers.
 What did you do?" asked the senator.
 Nothing" replied the man. -
 But you must have done something. want the truth" persisted the senator.
 "I kicked horse, and John knocked me down." said the man.
 "Those were Johns instructions, and 1 think he did just right" said the senator. San Francisco Examiner.

Color In the Worlds Fair Buildings

The choice of an 'off white" for the basis of the decorative plan of the fair was in the last Gegree -prima- lily because 1t ctfers the best field for the aninlatin Eizardry of the sun and because it shows to the best advantage the beauties of architectural and sculp- tural ornament with which the build ings have been enriched, but also be- cause it gives better relief than any other tone could give to the floating gonfalons on the cornices, to the turf, to the floral decorations everywhere, to the vegeta- ton in the lagoon and finally to the stream of pedestrians which moves cease lessly beneath the shadow of the man. moth buildings.
 Just because it does give such strong relief to any darker tints coming into contact with it, it is important for such of the latter as are comprehended in the painted decoration to be manipulated with taste. I think they have been, in the main, in the buildings on the Court of Honor. In that one of them, for exam ple, which struds as the head and front of the exhi -tion-the Administration building-the glimpses of color caught between the columns of the loggia in the seconu stage of the composition are of a character to heighten perceptibly the eff feet of the tonal scheme and yet remain in the subordinate position which be- iongs to the recessed walls on which the decoration is laid. This wall is painted dull red.
 Seen from the ground, the roof of the loggia throws deep shadow behind the columns supporting it, but so large in scale is the building that even at dis tance the color actually counts and is as distinct factor in the beauty of the structure as are the white surfaces from the ground to the wall above the loggla or the gilded splendor which thence up to the crown of the dome is the most dazzling mark on the horizon.-Royal Cortissoz in Century.

Bridge Building In the German Army,

It has for some time been realized by the German authorities how advantageous 1t would be if their cavalry could rapidly throw across river bridge of sufficient stability to carry artillery. They have now supplied to their cavalry folding boat, which with all the necessary stores can be loaded and carried on a four horse wagon. Each regiment receives two of these wagons, which makes 12 for cav airy division, and this amount of material sufices to construct in very short time a bridge more than 50 yards long. These boats can be used in various ways, the only disadvantage experienced being that that the 12 wagons take up as much room as a battery and materially add to the length of column. 1t is thought that their value has been conclusively proved at the maneuvers in various circum- stances.-Revue du Cercle Militaire.

One Hundred and Forty-five of New Jer-

 AsBURY PARK, N. J., July 25.-Of the 145 members of the.F brigade, New Jer sey national guard, now in camp at Sea Girt, N. J., prostrated by a poisonous stuff, the origin of which is not known, all but 20 are out of danger. No deaths have oc. cured and none are feared.
 It is not known just what caused the poison but it is thought it either occurred from milk or from oxalic acid which may have gathered in the tin cups. which were stored since last summer. Nearly all of the men were taken sick late last night or early this morning
 Many of the men were utterly collapsed and it required heroic measures to revive them. Most of the men prostrated were members of the Second and Third regi. ments, Second brigade. Governor Werts has ordered a strict investigation to be made.
