WHY WHEAT is LOW.

A Democratic paper attributes the low
price of wheat to causes over which legis-
Iators have no control. 1t is the bad luck
of the party that the lowest prices in the
memory of man have occurred while that
party is in power. But the party had
nothing to do WITH it. "We cannot" says
the journal referred to. "legislate prices up
or down. These must be governed by in
huences that are beyond the control OF
Congress-" While legislation cannol
arbi.rate or fix the price Of wheat it may

my comrades foretell their death. They
seemed 20 feel it was coming and went

often heard officers upbraiding their

"A man never speaks of fear of death

FRENCH ART OF TO-DAY.
Only the Genius of the People Keeps I

Only the Genius of the People Keeps It
From Hopeless Debasement.
For years all the art roads have led TO
Paris. 1t is today the center of the art
world, q model of taste, skill and knowl-
edge as well as hotbed of eccentrici-
ties, mannerisms, stilted affectations
and small trickeries 1t takes in the
world, takes credit for all its virtues
and is saddled with all its vices. 1t is
ruled by the quipS and cranks of what
at times seems outrageous fortune; it is
magnitied and belittled; it is over
praised and underpraised; it seems to be
rising to lofty heights at times and then
again to be sinking into the mire. 1t is
at once the best and the worst art CEN
ter III the world, a crucible where all
elements mix, all become allowed. and
yet all average up reSpecrauru- Erutsv-
of amalgam That which keeps it from
hopeless debasement is the art genius Of
the French people Has that art genius
ever reached is apogee? Has it fulfilled
its mission and voiced the finer feelings
of France, as painting once did in Italy
and Spain? Did we accept the exhibit
at the Worlds fair as a criterion we
might think her day was about finished,
that her artists had said all there was
for them to say, but the representation
was inadequate
The French stand sponsor for all the
academic emptiness displayed there, for
all the studio recitation, all the exag-
gerated realism, all the tawdry senti-
ment, and yet at heart they have little
sympathy with them. The academic
was foisted upon them early in life by
the example of Italy and the misdirect-
ed energy of royalty. Poussin or Lebrun
was no more French in thought or meth
cd than Corneille. The monarchy up
held the academic because it smacke6f
of heroism and the empire because it
fostered the military spirit, but the re-
public has barely tolerated it, and the
radicals have always hated it. 1t is the
bette noir of French art, against which
there has been a long series of revolu-
tons Why, if not that it fails to repre-
sent the French? They are fond enough
of talking about such loyalists as Pous-
sin, David, mgres and Cabanel, but the
men they love are the rebels, Vatican,
Fragonard, Delacroix. Millet, Corot,
Courbet. The vivacious, the decorative.
the emotional, the sentimental, the posi-
tiye--an these they love because they
are national characteristics, but the
mock heroic, the grandiloquent, the
bombastic, have been more the result of
foreign imitation than the outcrop of
French feeling. John c. Van Dyke III

statement. f
'sZhis thing ID going to be test case.
We don't consider ourselves bigger than
the law, and incidentally We think the
railroads are not. - We are getting some
syidsacs for the coming legal battle,
and We consider it q pretty fair grade.
Here n . letter we received telling of
Syidsnce that most of the freight car
burning done In Chicago was done by
two men In the employ of the General
Nanagsss' association. One of the Sc
,erst agents Of q certain committee saw
two men on the night of the big fire go
through the yards with handcar
loaded with infiammable waste, which
they lighted and Systematically threw
among the cars. This agent overheard
H conversation between the men from
which he cleaned that they were
paid $500 down and were to
receive $500 more when the job was
done. This, we understand, was before
the troops were called out. An effort
10 now being made to arrest these two
men. We further have pretty positive
evidence that the big man who led the
mob of 5000 at Blue Island was a
Pinkerton man employed by the rail-
roads, and it 10 significant that although
he could te easily identified, yet he has
not been arrested. 1t is safe to say that
this case will not be entirely one-sided. I"
