The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1893-05-31
Note and Comment.

IIIE people or the Wlld west are
Mortified by the nude figures that are
so conspicuous a feature in the decora-
tons of the exposition buildings. The
New York SUMS poet thus refers TO the
advance of art " in Chicago:
We have struck the nude in Art
In Chicago;
In Chicago:
But you bet your life Wen show
Everybody that we know
What's the style on Baldhead row,
In Chicago.
There is less of Art than Pork
In Chicago;
We do not ape New York.
In Chicago:
Bnt we get there just the same,
For in Art we're known to fame,
And the classic is our game,
In Chicago.
1t is said that we are crude,
In Chicago;
That we're not up to the nude
Well, they've simply slipped cog.
They are off their dialogue,
They should see a weliscraped hog
In Chicago.
And the hog think can shine,
In Chicago;
With the human form divine,
In Chicago;
Yet we're willing quite to hear
What to do, SOS not to queer
The Apollo Belvedere,
In Chicago
And If Venus wants to come
And to fee ii Herself at home
In Chicago;
wehave only this to say:
She come right here and stay,
And wen learn to dress her way,
In Chicago
We are worshipers of Art
In Chicago;
We will always do our part,
In Chicago;
And, as we want the best.
Why, the nude goes with the rest
As our hogs 20 when they're dressed
In Chicago.

THE hint given in these columns
some time ago as to the interesting con-
dition of Mrs. Cleveland's health is
fully confirmed by recent advices from
Washington. All the capital, of course,
is on the tiptoe of expectation, and Mr..
Cleveland is more than ever an object
of admiration and reverence. Even
Mr.. Dana is moved by the homely ro-
nance of the situation to words of
cheer and kindness for the executive,
and expresses the opinion that the nat
ural agitation under which he is labor
ing should temper the judgment of
those who incline to criticise Mr..
Cleveland for his failure to call an eX-
ira session of congress. -IoDn Topics.
IT will of course have to be observed
that Chicago does not give up the gov
eminent appropriation made on condi-
ton of Sunday closing of the fair without
substantial reservations. Congress gave
the $2,500,000 in the form of souvenir
half.dollars. Chicago has been selling
these coins at 81 each and some
of the first of the coinage brought fabu-
lous sums. Thus the fair will get out
of the appropriation the full sum APP
propriated after paying back the face
value of the souvenir coins. However
the government cannot object. 1t was
Chicago enterprise that made the coins
sell for twice their value. What the
exposition made out of it was fairly
arned.-Springfeld Republican.
