THE ORATOR WITH THE RISING IN
Election.

Who has not listened to the orator
with the rising infection? Who can es-
cape him If he sits in the legislative
halls a few hours or is present in the
courts when the counsel who has a. rep
utatlon as an orator ceases to argue his
case and scars aloft on the pinions of
his imagination, mixing the declaration
of rights with bad metaphor and worse
English? Who attends the great occa-
sions, when the professional orators are
brought out, and. attending, fails to
hear The rotund orator with long sem
fences which end with the rising in
f1ection? The offense of the orator with
the rising infection is not born of NAL
ice. but it is none the less an infection
because 1t is not. His offense is that he
carries his hearers through long and
often turgid sentences in a loud tone of
voice, holding them up SO that they can
barely touch the earth with their toes
as they are borne on, then dropping
them with the word before the last SO
that they rudely strike terra firma for
an instant, to be jerked into midair by
a swift rising voice to "high c" in the
last word, where they are left to dangle
or get down the best they can. As for
the orator. he begins another sentence.

soc1ErY,s DEAD DICTATOR.

* M4-
The death of Ward McAllister removes
a unique and conspicuous figure from
New York society. What he protested
to be was a society specialist. and as a
specialist he achieved a distinction not
attained by any other man in this coun-
try, though his career is emulated in a
small way by one or more individuals
in every wealthy community. What he
undertook to do was to so guard the
gates of the New York aristocracy that
no one untitled by birth, station or
wealth to enter the sacred confines
could gain admittance. His require
ments were rigid and exacting. Pedi-
gree was, perhaps, the most important
possession of the candidate for his IA
vor, but an "old family alone without
sufficient money TO support its preten-
sions was not acceptable. Wealth, how
ever. without other qualifications was
not an open sesame.
services in public life availed nothing
with his stern guardian unless the coat
of arms was as it should be. His test
of admission was probably u~ndefinable
and only to be applied by himself. Like
all SPECIALISTS, ne uiiOOObtONiy SdilC "
have something like a sixth sense that
enabled him to decide almost instructive
ly upon the merits of any social as
pirant. 1t was a peculiar calling and
subjected him to a vast amount of ridi-
Guile. He added greatly to the gayety
Of nations during his career. and even
served to point a moral for the serious.
But in spite of all the smiles that his
profession excited, it must be said of
him that he did his work we'll. II New
York aristocracy cannot protect itself
from impostors or uncongenial associ-
ates as less p~retentious social circles do,
but must have a warden especially
delegated for the service-if, in short,
the best society needs an editor, it must
be said for Mr.. Ward McAllister that he
edited well. He was. to continue the
journalistic comparison, a good con-
denser. His widest limit for the best
society of the metropolis was four hum
dred: he inner and most exclusive cir

but in view of recent unpleasant dis
closures concerning the conduct Of indi-
viduals among the 150 there is no doubt
in the public mind that the circle is
large enough.
Mr.. McAllister's calling and ambition
were not high, according to popular es-
timation. but this was probably the
fault of his environmen rather a his
nature. He gave distinction to his mis-
sion, such as IT was, and his name will
be remembered long after many other
members of the four hundred are for
gotten.

poses. This in the aggregate was a
magnificent gift for public schools, but
no part of IT was for universities.
In 17SS, when the Ohio Land Company
made a large purchase Of land from
Congress in southern Ohio, the contract
stipulated thai certain townships should
be set apart as an endowment for a uni
versity. This led to the establishment
of the Ohio University. which was sub
sequently adopted and has ever since
been partially maintained By the State,
though for many years past in such a
manner as to reflect discredit on the
State. The example thus set by Ohio
at a very early day. when people were
poor and before endowed or sectarian in
situations had begun to be established
in the West, has been followed by near
ly every State. The result is a large
number of meagerly-equipped and poor
Unsupported State universities, all of
which are surpassed by other institu-
tons which do not receive any State
aid. The increase of wealth and opu
lation has been accompanied by the es-
tablishment of ndowe or denomina-
tional institutions to such an extent that
if every State university in the West
were to suspend or be abolished to-mor-
row the loss. with possibly one excep-
ton. would scarcely be felt in educa-
tional circles. The leading universities
of to-day n the great ones of the
future are those supported by individual
endowment and private patronage. State
universities are a legacy from the period
when the State alone could establish or
support such institutions. If it were to
do over again with our present wealth
and light it would not be done.

mer. and repeats the tiptoe. the chuck

out. 1t is very often the case that when
III orator of the rising infection cuts
loose from the earth and good sense
he cannot get down himself, and goes
fioundering on in repetition, until, from
sheer exhaustion, he falls in utter col
lapse.
Many OF these orators have been grad
uated from the higher institutions of
learning. where, doubtless, they have
been instructed in rhetoric and drilled
in expression" Are any of the higher
institutions of learning in Indiana re-

Fiction? Their professors cannot think
that the man is an effective speaker
who leave his audience suspended in
midair at the end Of every sentence.
Yet some of their recent graduates who
are public speakers are Of the rising
infection variety. Unfortunately for
public assemblages and sessions of leg
islatures limited to sixty days. other
men, assuming that long and involved
sentences ending in the rising infection
is the one test of oratory, copy after
the literally educated, with a result
which is every way e-xasperating.
If the Journal were to make a re-
spectful suggestion to those who are in
terested in university extension it would
be that a practical course should be
arranged with a purpose to finally get
rid of the orator with the rising infec-
ton as an ineffective public speaker
and a positive inf1iction. In legislative
assemblies he soon wearies the few who
attempt to listen, and, at length, talks
while no man listens. His associates
attribute his impotence as a speaker to
dullness, when, in fact, it is because
he is an orator with a rising infection.
He often talks so long that he Injuries
the cause he advocates, so that many
fair measures are really killed by the
orator who snatches his associates off
their feet at the close of every sentence.
The men in Congress to whom their as
s~ociates listen. the platform orators who
draw and charm audiences never end
their sentences with the rising inflec-
ton. Despite his wonderful capacity of
putting things, General Harrison would
ave few audiences If he closed his SEN
fences in a high key. Ex-Speaker

PARTING WITH ADAM.

Rev. Lyman Abbott does not hesitate
to say openly hat he does not believe in
the perfect man of traditional theology.
In his sermon last Sunday he said: Il am
a believer in evolution, Inc I tell you
frankly that 1 do not believe in the third
chapter of Genesis" This third chapter
is the celebrated one describing the fall
of Adam from a state of perfection
through the wiles of the serpent and of
Eve. To take it away takes away a
scapegoat on which mankind has heaped
a load for many ages. You cannot"
Mr.. Abbott says, throw the RESPONSE
bility Of your sin on Adam. There isn't
a man in this house who hasn't done
worse than Adam did" This is very
plain talk, and very discouraging. 1t is
true that a great many people have long
had secret doubts about the ~culpability
of Adam and his responsibility for their
misdeeds, but SO long as he was held up
by the pulpit as an object lesson of di-
vine wrath even the doubters have de-
rived a degree of satisfaction in the
thought that he might at least share
the blame for the sins of those who came
after him. When the pulpit abandons
him then indeed is his morai-or is it
acknowledgement lost to the unregen-
crate. And, of course. If Adam is alb
solved from blame, if it be not true that
in his fall 1--WE sinned ALL" then, of
course, Eve must be relieved from the
charge under which she has so long rest
ed of tempting Adam and being really
the original exciting cause of the
worlds iniquity. To give up Eve will
be a great wrench to a large class of
persons. Both she and Adam have en-
joyed a degree of popularity they cam
not hope to retail when the idea that
they did not fall" but that they We're
no better than they should be in the be-
ginning is generally accepted. The most
of us have taken a good deal of salts
faction at one time and another in the
Adam of tradition, and parting with him
will cause a pang. But the parting will
be a gradual process. for such is the
hold that he and Eve and the serpent,
to say nothing of the apple, have upon
us that they cannot be cast out at a
moments notice nor at the order of the
most learned of religious and moral in
StructOrS.

A New York court has a case before
1t, the settlement of which may dispose
of the troublesome question whether the
husband or wife is the head of the fam
lily. Last summer Mr.. Sigmont Simon
took a dislike to his children's g%overness
and asked his wife to discharge her.
This she declined to do. Later Mr..
Simon took advantage of his wife's alb
sence to dismiss the Objectionable en-
pioye himself. Thereupon Mrs. Simon
took her children and went home to her
father. She has since written to her
husband that when he is prepared to al

How Art May BE Encouraged.
Frank Fowler, in the Forum.


Another reason, which lies deeper than
the prohibitory lack of exhibition space, has
prevented our developing this noble art Of
mural decoration. 1t is one. also, that may
not perhaps be so Immediately remedied-
viz, the want of general public instruction
in the elements of drawing and painting.
Primary schools In France give pupils an
elementary acquaintance with art which
creates a demand later on for some kind
of graphic supplement TO the legends and
facts of history that they nave absorbed at
school. Then, too, local pride tends to fos-
ter the art instinct there as perhaps In no
other country. A youth in any distant de-
partment or unimportment French town who
shows peculiar aptitude for drawing and
painting is often encouraged and aided by
a pubic purse to continue the cultivation of
his gifts in the art schools of Paris. As
records of his progress there and in recog-
milton of his assistance, he sends home.
from time to time, examples Of his work,
which become the property OF his native
place. l was often surprised, when first liv-
ing in France, to come across paintings OF
superior quality in the museums of compar-
atively Insignificant towns, and it was only
after a prolonged soiourn there that I
learned the source of these unusual acqui-
sitions. They proved to be oftenti1nes the
productions of a local genius who. on the
road to fame, had acknowledged municipal
benefactions by perhaps a success from
the Salon, or the customary contribution
expected of him by the authorities. Might
we not here in our own country follow
some such course with profit?
