DEAD DUCKS.

DEAD DUCKS.
 The president is back in Washington with a lot of dead ducks, which are quite appropriate, for his administration is . dead duck. And during his expedition he has managed to secure 8 supporter who may in a slight degree help to fill the aching vacuum caused by the defection of his Augwump worshippers. He is the captain of the Violet and hs thus un- bosomed himself as the president was driven away from the wharf: "He's the God-bless sdest, biggest-hearted man that ever was. Good companya Well, you just betl He's jolly good fellow. That's what he is. And can't he shoota I ssw him knock over two geese without taking his gun from his shoulder, right and left barrel. He did that twice." This is hearty and appreciative and no man who realizes what 1t means will underrate its valIe. If our Senator Platt had waited to read about 1t he would not have said as he did the other day
 .But yesterday the word of Cssar might Have stood against the world; now lies he
 there,
 And none 50 poor to do him reverence
 It is pity that the president must leave an atmosphere filled with such true and honest appreciation for the air of Wash ington, which is heavy laden with the dis gust and distrust of those who orce wor- shipped him even more fervently than does now the captain of the Violet. But that was before he had made dead ducks of their faith and hope. They are 50 dis gusted now that they cannot admire the efficiency with which he has done it. But that efficiency has been truly wonderful. He has made killing at almost every shot, until there doesn't seem to be much left to slsy. Oh yes, the president is mighty man to pile up dead ducks.

Socialists to Found There a Brother
 Maxim Guns.
 From the Manchester Guardian-1 Is Is statsd this morning that negotia- tie n are still proceeding for the establish ment of the "free land" colony In East Af- ries, where 1t Is intended to make an st- tempt, on scale never before contempls- ted, to carry out the idea of a socialistic community. It .s iu Austria that the idea originated, and the district elected for the experiment Is Lykipis, near Mount Kenia, in the British sphere of influences. Rspre- sentations have been made to the British foreign ofics and an offer made to pur- chaSs a large tract of country, on the con- dition that while the community shall be subject to any general lsws which the Brit ish government may make. they shall have absolute freedom to regulate thsir internal affairs on 6 socialistio basis. The expsri- ments made In America and elsewhere have failed, 1t is ssid, because they were tried on too small 8 stage and on too small scale, and the highest hopes are enter tained that, remote from the bad example of society as at present organized, and with ample elbow room for development, the new community will show to the world what may be done by men and women de- voted to the socislistic ideal. The BritIsh government Is sverse to giving absolute rights of ownership over the large tract of land in question, but the orgspiz srs of the new movement are apparently very much In earnest. They have secured leader of the expedition to the Few promised land m the person of Herr Deuhsrdt, who is well known on the east coast of Africa, and part of the equipment of the new community Is to bs Maxim gun and 6 supply of rifles.

A DEM UR R ER.

The Police commissioners met last even ing and decided that the indictment of their management of police affairs by the president of the LAW and Order league wasn't specific enough, that it wasn't @ true bill, that they wantsd mora and better substantiated facts before they did any thing, that they wanted more seoresy about the whole business, that they were ready to hear any complaint, that they wanted anybody or everybody to complain, that they thought private citizens ought to make themt elves aids to the Police con- missioners, and, as the lawyers in their demurrers throw themselves on the coxn- try, SO the Police commissioners at the end of their demurrer threw themselves on ''tte sober common sense of the community"
 As we look at 1t, "the sober common sense of the community" will hardly sus- tain the weight thus put upon 1t. It has already recognized that the indictment Is specific enough for the com m issioners to get at its real meaning without the aid of imported detectives. It has also reoog nized that the complaint was made in just the spirit recommended by the commis- sioners.~ The facts were laid before them, and there were facts of importance enough to engage for awhile the attention of even the Police commissioners, who, we SUD- pose, are apt to grow somewhat in- to their familiarity with them. To be sure, the complaint was made in public, but it was made respectfully, and in Ian guage as ohaste and graphic as could be se- lected. We feel sure that if. ybody else has any such complaint to make and in such language there will be a demand that it be made public. The language of the oommissioners' letter Is also chaste, but it isn's very graphic. It appears to conceal ss many ideas ss it makes vivid.
 In other words, the commissioners don't
 mean to make much of 8 move till they are
 pushed harder. As they in 7ite counsel we
 will give them, publicly, the benefit of our
 notion, which is that they would have done
 better to express to the president of the
 Law and Order league their appreciation of his effort to help them in his brilliant and practical paper on police affairs and then make an order to the whole police force to the effect that there must be no further occasion for such . paper. Captain Wrinn has furnished good example for the Po- lice commissioners. Instead of hurling himself on "the sober common sense of
 the community to zee if 1t would bear him up he hurled himself on the neeks of his subordinates and told them to do their | duty.

The Oriental Jeyyeler.


 The real danger of the Birmingham jew elers' trade-snd it may one day prove s most formidable ons-is not c possible de cay in the taste for ornaments, which will no more decay than the taste for beauty in women, or the taste for sunsets or flow CTS, but Q peculiar form of competition. It is one of the unexplained mysteries of Asia that the achievements of its best metsl-workers, so long as their work Is useless, should be so completely beyond rivalry. We can understand this as re- gards the setting of precious stonss, for ss we once said before, many years ago, the instinct of g southern Asiatic living In painful tuulight Is to blend the bright col ors be works in till they do not hurt the eye. Consequently the snameller of Jey- pore, though he uses flakes of ruby and emerald, produces 6 surface which looks, even in sunlight, absolutely cool. But what helps him or . Japanese, or even . Turk, if . sultsns has given the order, to make gold or silver ornament which the west can only gaze st in defeated admirs. ton, is still . problem not completely solved.
 The Asiatio does not know anything par. ticulsr about gold and silver; he has nc tools except pincers and hammer; and ha has not the power of producing intense heat; yet he will do things with the metali which his European brother cannot dc with all his appliances and skill. Nc | doubt, if he Is an hereditary workman something has passed into his finger which cannot bs acquired by . new com petitor, and he has the advantage of re membering patterns originally designed by the men of genius, who are apt, ct In | tervals perhaps of centuries. to crop up Il the artist families; but Is that the who'll of the matterl We doubt It greatly, ant believe that there is an Asiatic ftaste," O instinct for the beautiful, which is as tru in It's way as the instinct of an Athenisl sculptor or 6 Florentine wielder of tn brush.

An Artist without Arms TEra,., sLa a. 4z- nt-L,

Apropos of the recent marriage at Yer vlers recorded In this column yesterday, 6 correspondent reminds us of Mile, Aimee Rspin, the srmless artist, who drew with her feet the dainty pastel of the Duchs.s of York which was on view with the other royal wedding ptetents at the Imperial h. stitute. She is 6 young Gsneroise of rare intelligence and great charm of manner.
 The eldest daughter of Swiss bsrristsr, che was the only member of the family born without arms. and strangely enough, she alone among several brothers and sis. ters is gifted with artistic powers.
 As child Mile. Rspin could draw with her feet better than most people draw with their hands; and at the sgs of fifteen she began her artistic studies in one of the best studios in Switzerland. She has a great dislike to being in a5y way consid- cred a phenomenon. and insist that her work be judged on its own merits iu open competition with her own more fortunate fellows. Although pastel is her fsvorite medium, many prefer her clay bas -reliefs and medallion portraits.

Der of the Post This member is an
ardent Republican, also strong per
sonal friend OF Governor Peck. He
was certain Peek would be defeated in
1890. He was so certain Of it that he
asked % or so of the members to
exert themselves to make it rs pleas.
ant rs possible for the defeated Dem
ocratic candidate for governor when
he entered the post room the next
meeting after e.eCtion. OF course
there was no necessity for trying TO
make it pleasant for Comrade Peck,
The people of the state had done that
by giving him majority of about
$4,000. In 1892 this same comrade
was dead sure that Peck would he
defeated and he again suggested that
at the first meeting after the election
they get up Il little demonstration in

aim was to convince him that if he
had not enough of political friends to
continue him as governor, the woods
were overlooking with warm personal
friends 1t is n needless to say that
the meeting WAS not held. The
people Of the state gave him Peck all
the pleasure he needed at that time,
This wear after Peck was again
nominated, one of the members who
had been solicited to help in jollying
up George Peek after his defeat for
governor, said to this particular friend
of the governors, "Iou can 81 on
and make your arrangements for the
jollification of Peck, now, with perfect
safety, for he will be defeated by

No, you attend to the matter this
