MR.. CIRLISLE md TIE ARCHITECTS.

The correspondence between officials Of The
Treasury Department and The American InSt-
tute Of Architects relative TO designs for public
buildings has terminated for the time being
with Secretary Carlslc's curt announcement
that hereafter he will hold no communication on
any subject with Mr.. ID. III. Burnham president
Of the Institute. II matter OF great impOr-
tance to the country were not involved, readers
Of the correspondence could afford to dismiss
the subject from their minds with a final re-
gret that the occupant of a high office should
have made so painful disclosure OF himself.
But since the discussion concerns all the citi-
zens Of the United States, whether they are
aware Of that fact or not, and Mr.. Carlisle's
abrupt withdrawal threatens to postpone III
definitely the beginning OF salutary reform,
something more needs TO be said about IL.
The operations of that branch Of the Treasury
Department to which Is intrusted the work Of
designing and constructing public buildings
have dotted the surface of the country with
edfices which affiict the eyes Of the instruct
ed, degrade the taste Of the ignorant and i'm
peril the health of those who are employed In
them to carry on the business OF the Govern
ment. And all these dcplorable results have
been produced at an expenditure amply sum-

matter for subsequent consideration. The Sen

Assembly with an emphatic Endorsement.
