A Business Deal Which
 Never Took Place
Formed the Basis of an Anil
 mated Discussion.
All the Streets of Phoenix Have New Grades-Tbe Opening Of
 the Alleys.

Luna's fair face was suffased with blood at the meeting of the city council last night, the regular monthly session usually marked by no more thrilling excitement than auditing and allowing current claims.
 The trouble was precipitated by Mar shal Molloy, but it really had it's origin in transaction month ago, or rather in commercial transaction which did not take place. The marshal had gone te hardware store to buy nickel's worth of carpet tacks with which to post lot of municipal notices in public and con- spicuous places.
 He was met with refusal. He could have the hardware on his own account, but not on the city's, for the reason that the hardware firm had been noti- | fled that henceforth and forever it's agents and servants should purchase nothing without written order signed by some committee and countersigned by other pu bile and influential persons. l The marshal didn't take the taeks. He calculated that the stationery in the proposed order, the ink used in writing 1 1t, the aggregate muscular energy of so many signers, the wear and tear on the pen ard the wear and tear on his shoes | incurred in a personal canvass neces- sary to bring the order in contact with SO many signers, would far outweigh | the price of the teeke. Beside the pre- cautionary measure adopted by the council he construed to be an in peach ment of his integrity and warning te the hardware firm that he would likely | be coming around with the ulteriof purpose of em mbezZling paper of carpet tacks.
 The municipal notices were never posted. The marshal brought the mat ter before the council in his fOTcibie style. The council talked back and the air became lurid and he debate took wide range. involving the relations be tween the marshal and the council, the relations of the street gang to either or both marshal and council. Though the tone of the debate entualiy modified itself there was no sort Of q com pro- mise of opinion, but the marshal helS his ground and saic. that he beil.v d he would have no further orcas;on to oct as the clty's purchasing agent. lhe council held it's ground and maiRia ned , that whatever WAs purchased in the city's name would 5e purclaael in regular form.
 The other business c, he council 9as then taken up but was ireauentis inter- rupted hy the previous question arising informally and without provocation. Beside the auditiHg, of the bilis the marshal was directed by special resoa- ton to open the alley through block 95. An ordinance was passed esta ollehing grades on all the streets Of Phoenix. The report of the special committee on the paving going on CT intended on Center street was adopted and another committee was appointed 10 assess the
 benefit of the work to the abutting property owners.
 The rest of the session was taken up
 with an informal discussion of ways and means of making the city great and prosperous.

The Remenyi Concert.

The sale of seats for the Remenyi concert at Gardiner's hall tonight progresses in 8 way to indicate that the public appreciates the treat in store. Those who have never heard this great violinist, Remenyi, should not fail to improve the present, perhaps the last, opportunity. Those who have heard him need no advice; they have already secured seats. Of Miss Pauline Stein and MT. Henry Flames, the Normal Ill.) Advocate says: Miss Pauline Stein, soprana, and MT. Henry Flames, pianist, are worthy associates of the famous violinlst. Miss Stein's most pleasing work was in the Ava Maria, though all her. selections were well rem dered. MT. Flames excels as an &C., companist, both in precision and sym- pathy with the performance. His solo playing was excellent and showed a marked degree of talent"

the announcement of this vote was one of the widest confusion.
 When the bill came up for passage Waymeyer of Alameda endeavored to amend it by striking out two sections but the amendments were voted down and the bill now goes to the senate for the Bledsoe amendment to be concurred in. This amendment provides that the law shall not prevent any purchaser of ticket from giving or selling to an- other and is considered 10 greatly weaken the bill. That the senate will concur in this amendment is by nc means assured.

The time dwin- dled away until Il o'clock. the only feature being rather brisk debate on the results to follow from the projected monetary conference.
 The usual committee was sent to the president to inform him that congress was ready to adjourn and other for mal1ties of the end of congress were gone through with. The concluding feast and the best of feeling prevailed. A resolution of thanks to the speaker which came from the minority was offered today by Mir. Cannon in very graceful speech. bearing testimony to the high appreciation in which the presiding officer was held by the Re publican minority.
 Mr. Wilson of West Virginia, re- sponded on behalf the majority and MT. Simpson of Kansas, representing the Populists. joined in the expression of thanks for courtesies and kindnesses ex- tended by the speaker. All kindly sentiments were applauded and when MT. Crisp himself ascended the rostrum to return thanks and deliver his part ing words the demonstration was ter rife. At the conclusion of his speech and just before declaring the house sd journed he appointed MT. Oulberson ol Texas. MT. Hill of Illinois, and h1m self as members of the monetary com mission. His own appointment was by resolution.
 AS the Flfty-third congress came to an end doxology was sung by cores pondents in the press gallery.

A CATALOGUE OF CRIMES.
A Salvation Army Brand Who Had
 Voted for Cleveland.


 4 brand was plucked from the burn ing at the Salvation Army barracks on Sunday night. After it was all over he rose to testify concerning his deliver ance and recount his former enormi- ties. He was greatly em barrassed in hls new position as public orator and without the slightest intention of doing SO became humorous. Said he, ''I've lived in sthis here county for more'n twenty-five years without knowin' or carin' anything about God and his word. I chawed tobacker an' smoked an got to drinkin' little an swearin' some an, CT" = And herehe hesitated, to recall some other outrage againss decency of which he had been guil9y. At last he took up the thread of dis course and mentioned rather perhaps as an incident of his tumultuous career rather than as an addendum to his catalogue of crimes, "An' I voted fur Clevelan' the first time he run" Praise God, the brother is saved at last !" cried the captain and the other soldiers. But if repentance for former support of MT. Cleveland may be reckoned 8 saving grace or a means of grace, four-ifths of the Democratic party is now en route to eternal life, to say nothing of the whole Republican party which did not vote for MT.

ART AND ART CRITICISM.

Mr.. William M. Chase. the weIl-known
artist and president of the Society Of
American Artists. is quoted as saying in
an address the other day mat art criti-
cism is failure. 1t fails, he says, ''be-
cause it is impossible to describe or in
anyway analyze a work once it reaches
that point of excellence which entities it
to be considered as a work of art All
works of art must be seen to be under
stood at all, and no amount of reading
will help one to better understand. Not
to my knowledge has any great con-
noisseur ever written his or her opinion
in a critical spirit" 1t is this sort of talk
by artists which has much to do with
the feeling of the public that cart is a
mysterious thing, which only those who
have had special training are competent
to understand and enjoy. These very
artists are loud in their complaints that
the public does not flock to their exhibit
tions, but the public, having been told
so often that it is ignorant, and having
had it's timidly expressed opinions
sneered at, hesitates to go where 1t is at
a disadvantages The truth is that. a
vast deal Of twaddle is uttered about art
by it's protested disciples. The art of
the painter or sculptor is not a more
mysterious thing than many another
product of the human mind, aided by
the human hand. 1t begins with a men
tai conception. which may or may not
be of a more imaginative, spiritual or
poetic character than entertained by an
other mind, the possessor of which has
thought upon canvas or in marble. 1t is
the sheerest conceit for the one who has
the power to reproduce his ideas to as
sumo that none but he who shares his
skill has the ability to judge the work
No one who has not made a study of the
technicalities is qualified to speak of the
processes that make picture or statue
what it is, but there is no good reason
why his opinion of the results should be
sneered at. He may not be able to use
the artistic lingo and to speak knowing
ly of tone" feeling '.repose," at
mosphere.' "chiaroscuro" and the rest,
nor will he appreciate the skill which
has brought about certain effects, but it
needs not an artist nor a connoisseur to
| feel the full value of the spirit of the
work. If true idea is there even the
uninitiated will discover II. If there is a
| false note it will be detected. If pic
| ture eff nature is untrue to nature the
| man ignorant of art may know it be-
| cause he is familiar with nature-much
| more SO, perhaps, than is the artist. His
| note of approval or his condemnation
| may be crudely expressed, but it is none
/ the less worthy of respect. Mr.. Chase
/ evidently defines the word criticism to
| mean adverse judgment, but it is not
necessarily so. 1t is merely intelligent
| judgment. He is right, of course. in
/ saying that a work of art must be un-
| derstood, but why, since the public, to
his mind. is SO ignorant, should it not
have me benefit of critical comment. sc

RushyilIc LexicoEraphy.

The definition of the term nonpartsan
promulgated by the mass meeting of Re-
publicans of Rushville. presided over by
Chairman Gowdy, of the State central COM
mittee. suggests an interesting line OF In
quiry. BY the way one Rushville paper
reports the mass meeting as having been
held in the county auditors office. and the
other makes no mention OF it at all. The
object of the mass meeting was to indorse
the action of the Republican legislative eau
Gus relative to the control of State insti-
tutions And among the whereases to this
Endorsement the following:
Whereas we believe the term nonpartisan,
taken to mean that the party in power
should have majority OF the members or
lent. penal and reformatory institutions and
was understood in the last convention
and during the campaign.
This raises question whether the public
mind is not confused on this point. and
whether the dictionaries will not have to
be revised Without having had much time
to investigate the question the Journal finds
that the main line of definitions of the
word partisan is tolerably clear Johnson's
Dictionary defines partisan as an ''adherent
to a faction" DR.. Johnson was good deal
of a blower and a great lover of big words
but he was q man of fair informal ton. The
Imperial Dictionary Qondon 1889, defines
partisan as pertaining to party or fac
tion." Stormonth's English Dictionary de-
fines the same word as 'devotedly and vio-
lently attached to party or interest"
Webster follows on the same line with par
tisan as "adherent to a party or faction"
Worcester has practically the same defini-
ton. The Century Dictionary, latest and
best authority, adds to the general definition
the specification, lone whose judgment or
perception is clouded by prejudiced adj
herence to his party
This inquiry as to the meaning of the
word partisan is necessary to fix the meaning
of nonpartisan. The latter word does not APP
pear in any dictionary as yet, though it is
a good word and has the sanction of COM
mon usage. No doubt it will appear in
future dictionaries, and some care should be
used in it's definition. The definition adopted
by the Rushville mass meeting, held in the
auditors office, looks a little like an attempt
to forestall popular intelligence and literary
judgment. 1t is obvious that, whatever
partisan" is, 'nonpartisan' is the opposite,
and if we establish a. new and arbitrary
meaning of nonpartisan we, to certain ex-
tent, repudate long line of definitions of
the word partisan.
Applying these suggestions to the case in
hand, we find that the Republican party in
this State for many years past has been
demanding nonpartisan control of the State
institutions. If that means that the insti-
tutions should be controlled in the interest
of the party in power, as the mass meeting
at Rushville insists, then it may be neces-
sary to call an international convention of
photographers which shall agree on a
standard of revision according to the Rush
VILE idea

that 1t may be helped to comprehend the
painted mysteries when 1T sees them?
Mr.. Chase says further that it is i'm
possible for a literary man to compre-
bend what real art is, and adds: II do
not care to be understood as advocating
the idea that only artists are capable OF
understanding works of art. / will say
that If successful artists could be in
duced to write for reviews you would
get more intelligent example to con-
vey the idea of what art really is" He
uses the word art. of course, only as it
applies to the products of the brush and
chisel. but literary men call their work
art, and they might as truthfulIy assert
that no painter can comprehend litera-
ture as he that no writer can compre-
bend the picture upon the canvas. Mr..
Chase talks nonsense. which is pity,
for he is a man of whom better things
were to be expected

Few people are aware of the fact that in
Europe the word madame" Is q title occa-
sionally conferred by patent of either tha
crown or the government. The official ga
zette at Vienna the other day contained an
announcement that the Emperor mad con-
ferred upon F'raulein Won Gintowt the title
of madame on the occasion of her promo

AT the English court nothing is more
amusing than to hear little three or four
year-old princesses addressed by gray haired
generals and venerable dowagers as
ina am or madame
1t is only q few months since the French
government issued decree proclaiming
that henceforth the words monsieur and
madame should be restored once more to
use in French Jurisprudence; These terms
were abolished at the time of the great rev.
olution as being too aristocratic, ana.
Strangely enough. not one of the numerous
monarchical regimes that have succeeded
one another in France since then has ven-
trred to repeal this decree. But it has re-
NAMED for the republican government OF
France to do this.
