Return we now to Kate for a season.
The cooperative home program was
not acted in its entirety. 1t lacked
one in point of numbers, and it was
not cooperative in point Of labor. But
it was a real home. A little house in
the suburbs was rented and coZily fur
nished at joint expense-that is to say,
Judge Bolder lent Grace the money
and Kate agreed to pay half when she
could get it. The two girls engaged a
pleasant old widow as housekeeper,
and as she looked upon their offer of
SO week as special providence, and
as she was an excellent cook, all three
were contented; and the little cottage,
with its abundance and its freedom,
was to boarding house as heaven to a
religiously-governed charitable insti-
tuition.
No more need be said of the coop

Home life at this suburban cottage was
happy, and therefore, uneventful. We
need look in upon it no more.
One day in February, Kate Cotterell
was passing the side of the city Jail,
which stood at the angle of two streets.
Looking down casually at the grated
windows, the tops of which were about
level with the board sidewalk which
was separated by an area from the
prison wall, she saw a sad-fsced young

What is the user You know as we'll
as / do that, when he had read those
lines, John Cotterell was about the
happiest man on this planet. His
heart swelled till he had to get out of
the house and walk about to give it
room to expand. The prosaic drudg-
cry of everyday life was forgotten; he
no longer thought of the social gulf
between his life and that of the woman
he loved; he was living in world that
was as new as would have been another
planet and as sweet as heaven-a world
In which there are no class distinctions
to keep the loving apart-a world
where poetry is the commonplace
language of every inhabitant. Now
he understood why Mrs. Ruble had
proposed to give him Lena's photo
graph in exchange for his; and he had
no doubt that Lena knew and approved
of his possession of her treasured
image. Returning to his room, he got
out her picture, looked at it long
time, and before putting it away
again. Yes, he did. The presump-
tious blacksmith actually kissed the
picture of the General Managers s
daughter Don't blame me. 1t was
not my fault. / am merely telling
what occurred.
John wasted much energy and more
paper before he succeeded in concoct-
ing satisfactory answer to this per-
fumed epistle, and even then it seemed
to him that he had never before in his
whole life written a worse hand; but,
nevertheless, many a business man"
would set up for a literary gentleman
If he could write as we'll constructed
and as interesting letter. At least
that was Lena Graham's opinion, and
she was no mean critic, either.
The ice having been thus broken,
thencefOrth letters came and went at
| intervals till sometime in January,
when Lena wrote from Italy that she
expected to sail for home in few days;
that she would probably reach home
sometime in February; and that she
hoped to be in Graham in March.
Meantime, he must not think it strange
if he did not hear from her again, as
she would have little opportunity to
write.

woman looking despairingly out. The
police were all at the front Of the Jail,
on the other street, and were busy re-
lating tales of hsir-breadth escapes as
they sat about the comfortable stove;
so Kate was out of their sight and their
hearing as she stopped and talked with
the prisoner against whom they were
protecting society. The result of that
conversation can best be told by copy

Next Monday Is under the rules District
day In the House OF Representatives. It Is
hoped most sincerely that neither personal
obstruction nor partisan consideration shall

the Indebtedness OF the Metropolitan Com
pany to the District. There Is every reason
for believing that the overhead-trolley forces
are gathering and concentrating their infiu-
ences for a final assault and that they will
let no opportunity escape which promises
profit to the greedy and INSCRIPTIONS cor
poration which they represent. The Metro

every point Of comparison to the Cheap

people of this city. Fortunately for the gen.
eral welfare, 1t seems certain that those
who would willfully do so much of injustice
are In a minority. both In the House and
Senate, but even had they greater numbers
1t does not seem possible that Congress
could be persuaded to indorse the cumber-
some and dangerous mechanism of which
SO many cities are now doing their best to
rid themselves. In competition for a prize
Of $4,000. two OF the greatest overhead
trolley manufacturing corporations in the
country have admitted that there are under
ground systems far superior to the over
head abomination, and OF this conversion
brought about by dollars and not by moral
suasion-Congress should take note. Behind
the Metropolitan bill, and needing imme-
date attention, are many local measures
that cannot be acted upon until It is dis
posed of. The amount to be exacted from
the road on account OF its paving debt to
the District, and the character of provisions
concerning motive power which will with
certainty protect the public, ought by this
time to be reasonably clear to our legisla-
tors. Let the House devote as much as
possible of Monday to consideration of local
affairs The District OF Columbia is not
permitted to legislate fer itself. May it not
ask that those who do it's legislating treat
the National Capital fairly as they would

Washington Is often called the Paris of
America-and Paris is the art capital Of the
world. VIII Washington ever be the Paris
OF America in this sense? Art in France is
not a thing of centuries any more than in
America. We may say modern French art
rests on what preceded 1t, yet in effect the
same foundations underlie all modern art.
There now live more than one generation
Of Frenchmen who remember easily when
under the Empire the salon became the
protege of the state, and the splendor and
dignity Of what We now include in modern
French art rose slowly above the worlds
horizon to I'LL the afternoon of this century
with Its pervading force and beauty. 1t is
not impossible to believe that such a period
may dawn in the American art world. And
If this awakening should come. by force OF
all things consistent this city should become
its center and capital. Should there be an
American salon? Most decidedly there
should be, and there are many who argue
that it should have the sanction of the gen.
eral government as part of popular educa-
ton. Locally considered. a national Amer
lean Salon has been suggested for many
years Mr.. Corcoran's great gift, if nothing
else, would have furnished this suggestion
Latterly the annual exhibition of the Wash
ington Society OF Artists distinctly empha-
sizes the idea OF great yearly exhibition
TO which. under necessary conditions should
be admitted the works OF artists from all
parts Of the country. 1t Is suggested that
the practical organization Of such a salon
might best be made under control of Con-
gress, precisely as that of the Smithsonian
Institution was made and is maintained
The nucleus for jury can be found in
those American artists who have received
distinctive honors abroad, and citizens emf
nent in the art world are certainly avail
able for the offices of trust and the execu-
tive duties connected with such an institu-
ton This idea Of a national salon does not
necessarily require great outlay of money
France. through her state and municipal
governments. spends annually four or five
mllIlons of dollars to buy pictures and stat
uary in order to encourage her artists but
this Is not necessary consequence of the
salon. American artists have at least the
right to ask and expect a standard of judg-
ment, criterion, which shall rest on firm
FOUNDATIONS and be source OF wholesome
incentive. The worlds fair furnished an
excellent Illustration of what in a small
and transient way the effect of such tutel-
age under the state might be.

Several so-called armies or divisions of
the same army are reported as laundering
on their way toward Washington. They
are keeping up appearances In the midst
Of discouragements with a spirit that
throws Mark Tapley far into the shade.
1t Is true that the branch of the army
lowering now somewhere about St. Louis
Is reported as seriously considering the ad-
visibility Of pleading guilty to vagrancy
In q body, and thus compelling the city
to supply 1t with transportation to the
next town or else support 1t for an indefi-
mite period The same alternative might
be presented by this particular booted but
sockless petition to the next town, and so
on, until finally it is pushed into Washing
ton by the last community that preferred
TO tax itself for transportation to over
crowding its workhouse. a division of the
army out in California appears likely also
70 nave its onward progress accelerated by
the same general desire of the commune
ties with which II comes in contact not
to have its population increased for any
length OF time in such a way. The main
army. commanded by Mr. COxey himself,
as it approaches the Alleghanies, is pro-
testing against receiving more recruits.
Though originally it was announced that
there would be a hundred thousand pairs
Of legs on this petition. there is fear among
the several hundred now marching that
the soup Will have to be made much thin
ner and the rations greatly reduced if
more recruits join. Still. the movement is
Kept up with a persistence that is striking
specially in view Of the fact that when
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1894-04-07

one considers what these armies are COM
ing to ask Congress to do there seems
really no necessity for such pedestrian
exertion and such risks Of rheumatism.
If Mr.. Coxey desires to have $500 600, 900
issued In fiat money why should he con-
slider 1t necessary to have the government
do it? Why cannot Coxey pause now on
the western slope Of the Aneghanies, be-
fore wearying his army with the hardships
of a mountain march, and discuss the ad-
visibility Of setting UP mis- own printing
press and issuing his own money? He
might even distribute his money without
requiring any consideration in the way
of work on roads, proposition that might
be more generally approved by his follow
ers than the one to be presented to Con-
gress. 1t may be that Coxey and his fol-
lowers, for the form Of the thing and in
view Of a possibly unfavorable construc-
ton Of the law against counterfeiting, pre-
fer to have the government issue the notes,
but. as a matter of substance, the notes
printed by Mr.. Coxey would be no more
Objectionable as printed lies, and the prob
lem as to their distribution would be less
difficult. A government is, Of course, only
an aggregation of individuals, and its
declaration that certain piece of paper
is worth a dollar will be no more effective
In making 1t worth dollar than would
the declaration of one Of the members of
the aggregation composing it. No indi-
vidual. not even Mr.. Coxey, could, 1t is
believed, possibly succeed in making money
grow on a tree, nor could any aggregation
Of individuals composing a government
perform such a miracle. 1t is doubtful,
indeed. whether, in matters Of magic.
government possesses one bit more power
than the humblest individual. So, If Mr..
Coxey considers the matter, It is fair to
presume that the logic of the case will
convince him that he is unnecessarily wear
ing out much sole leather, and that he can
accomplish more quickly what he wants
by issuing the paper himself.

II am a democratr' With the vibrations
of that assurance still ringing in the air,
the republicans of the Senate are today
welcoming its author to their arms as a
friend and comrade. The alliance be-
tween Mr.. Hill and the protectionists
against the peace and comfort of Messrs
voorhees, and others marks an interesting
era In the history of the Union. 1t may
mean much or it may mean little, but in the
light Of the present state of things in the
Senate it does not presage we'll for the pros
pect Of an early adjournment of Congress.
The events of the last two or three DAYS
show that the opposition to the tariff bill in
the Senate will be bitter and strong, and if
Mr.. Hill on Monday should declare with any
clearness his purpose to strive for amend
ments to the measure 1t may as we'll be
considered certain that the June bugs will
have come and buzzed themselves away
long before the presidential pen touches the
tariff parchment. If, indeed. that interesting
document ever reaches the White House
The republicans have demonstrated their
determination to fight every inch of the
ground. and to force the democrats to keep
voting quorum present in the chamber at
all times. Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Murphy, aided
probably by MIR. Brice and Mr.. Irby, and
n,
though the latter are in doubt, seem to pos
sess burning desire to embarrass the pro-
gress Of the bill. and, indeed. to secure its
amendment so that it will not be known by
its friends in the lower House. Mr. Hill is
known to thirst for the gore Of the income
tax proposition, and as this Is generally
considered to be the weakest point in the
bill as It stands before the Senate he is
not SO apt to go thirsty as certain enthu-
siastic supporters OF tie measure would
like him to be. At all events, whether
these conspirators against the peace of
Messrs. voorhees, and others succeed in
their design to amend or to kill the bill or
not, they will most probably succeed in nau-
seating the country with tariff talk, sched-
ules, facts and figures until the leaves have
begun to turn. The experience of last
autumn demonstrated the extent to which
an intelligent flibuster can be carried, and
the chances for success in this questionable
line seem to be now brighter than they were
in the days of repeal
