The Prc-nnphaclitc School.

The world, which scoffed at pre-
Raphaelites fifty years ago, has learned,
if not to like the school. at least to treat
1t with respect. Whether Rossetti and
his companions founded a school at all
or only revolted against and upset some
old idols, may still be disputed; for it is
as hard to screw up the English mind to

some degree it leavens the lump. But
the nation does not accept a new thing
willingly; the days are ono (perhaps
not forever) when a new invention, like
that Of the perpendicular style or the
italian Renaissance, effaced the old
landmarks and was accepted without
question in all corners of England.

An increase In the bonded debt of the
United States at this time is entirely
without excuse. The issue of interest
bearing bonds within the last few years
has been defended on the ground that
they were necessary to secure gold
with which to redeem United States
notes and treasury notes, but this ne
cessity has been imaginary rather than
real. Instead OF exercising the legal
right vested in the United States to re-
deem its DIN in either gold or silver, the
executive branch of the government
ias followed a precedent established by
a former administration and surren-
.dered the option to the holder of the OBJ
legations. This administrative policy
leaves the government at the mercy
of those who find a %pecuniary profit In
bond issues. The fact that the dealers
in money. and securities have been able
90 deplete or protect the treasury ac-
cording to their changing wilkins shows
now dangerous 1t is to permit them to
exercise a controlling influence over the
treasury department. The government
Of the United States, when administered
in the interest OF all the people. is able
to establish and enforce It's financial
policy, not only without the aid of syn
dicates. but in spite OF any opposition
which syndicates may present. To as
sert that the government is dependent
upon the good will or assistance Of any

stitutional majority is to assert that we
