A section of the department of
Fine Art at the Worlds Columbian
Exhibition will contain an exhibit
designed to show the progress of art
of this country from Colonial times
down to 1876. An official circular
with regard to the exhibit says: "The
possibility and success of this retros-
pective section must depend wholly
upon the patriotism and generosity of
the people of the entire country, and
and it is hoped that they will appre-
ciate the importance of such an exhi-
bition, and that those citizens who
are in possession Of paintings by any
of the artists named in the list will be
ready to place them at the disposal of
the committee. As the space allotted
in this section is very limited it may
not be possible to exhibit more than
a single sample. Of the work of each
artist, excepting in a few special in
stances, when the artist has two or
more well-defned periods; and pref
erence will be given to canvas of
medium size over a very large one.
Miniatures will be exhibited in Sc
curely locked cases." Persons having
pictures they are willing to loan will

Republican caucus of Senators wa,
held to determine when and how the
territories might be admitted. The
first thing the caucus did was to
strike Arizona from the list, as being
too certainly Democratic. Their it
proceeded to arrange programme,
which, while acquiescing in the
demands of Oklahoma, Utah and
New Mexico to be admitted to the
family of states, only gives them
about one chance out of a possible
hundred to get the bills providing
therefor through at this session of
Congress. The programme as ar
ranged gives the right of way to the
territorial bills after the Cherokee
strip. the anti-option and the Nicar-
aqua canal bills are disposed of.
What that right of way is worth may
be judged from the fact that the
Senate has not yet disposed of a single
one of the appropriation bills.

The beginning of the year is Z
favorite and natural time for the life
insurance advocate to voice with even
more than ordinary vigor the merits
of the really remarkable business in
which he and so many Thousands of
policy Holders are interested. This
voicing of late years has had ten
dency to dwell largely upon the won.
derful amount Of new business se-
cured the previous twelve months,
and the still more wonderful quantity
expected to be secured each coming
year. All this is we'll enough, al
though the quiet student Of the sub
ject, viewing the matter calmly from
without, may think that the policy.
holders and the uninsured public
will be more likely to be impressed
with showings of what has been and
will be done for those already within.
the fold, rather than by accenting the.
enormous increase in the number Of
new insurants.
When the world is told the fact
that one thousand million dollars
have been paid in death and endow-
ment claims, and that more than three
three thousand millions are now
under contract for present and future
payment by the standard life COM
panies of this country, . better. under
standing of the actual bene6conce and
greatness Of the work is afforded than
by emphasizing the quantity Of new
business which was secured the Last
year., or will probably be secured in
any year to come. The obtaining Of
new insurance is always commsndable,
though scrambling for q vast anaual
increase thereof is unnecessary. Good
and prolonged records, and ample
ratio of assets, favorable contracts,
liberal returns to policy holders and
expense accounts. .aEe tho
