No Halfway InvestIration.

We are glad to note that our Board OF
Trade IS about to investigate the work
ings and expenditures OF the Street and
Saver Department, but see no good
reason why IL should restrict its scrutiny
to that branch Of our municipal govern
ment. IL Is but one Of several corporate
bodies which act as the oity's executive
aud disburslng agents. There are th 9
Water Commission and the Police Com
mission, not to mention City Council.
II there is to be an investigation why
not make a clean job Of It. and see what
the city Is getting In return for the
money expended
While the Board Of Trade does not al
lege dishonesty, lneffciency or extrava
gance. It's action In appointing an
investigating committee may lead TO all
sort OF conjecture The Investigation
should be sufficiently thorough TO re-
move or confirm any doubt which may
be entertained. This the Board Of Trade
owes to Itself aud to the departments in
vestigated. Half an investigation will
prove worse than none.
II there Is jobbery 10 the matter Of
purchasing municipal supplies, the people
are entitled to know It, no matter In
what department IL is, and the Bard Of
Trade Is fitting instrument TO bring
about the exposure OF such fraud; but It
will be exceedingly unjust to subj ect
men TO arraignment and then sfford
them no adequate opportunity to prove
their innocence.
That there are rumors Of jobbery 10
certain quarters is a matter Of public
notoriety, but rumors cannot bs used
where facts are required.
We do not believe that the officers Of
any department will place obstacles In
the way OF the investigating committee
They cannot afford to do so, for 1t would
be quasi admission OF guilt This being
true, there is no reason why full, fair
and convincing investigation Of all the
city departments should not be made by
such q reputable organization as the
Board Of Trade, which is non-politloal
and which possesses the confidence Of
the public

CRUELTY IN EUROPEAN ART.
Americans Have Satisfied the Hunger For
New Creation.


Is there no art III Morse's telegraph,
in FuIton's steamboat or Colts revolver
or III an American cultivator, but only
III morbid projection upon canvas of
Dante's insane portraitures of a sup
posed but impossible torture of lost
souls in hell or the ever recurring
monks of the wine cellar lewdly gliding
the waiter girls that bring them their
inebriating cups? Two thirds of all the
SO called art of Europe consists of pic
lures that are both deniable and I'M
true, designed to commemorate events
that never occurred or to preserve our
reverence for ideas which the human
mind no longer seriously entertained
American art must be the embodiment
of American ideals and not the reflex Of
medieval ideals which no longer COM
mand the sincere respect of even the
European mind. The art of Europe is as
crude in its way as that Of America, be-
cause it does not relate TO ideas that are
now or ever again can be potential over
the human mind.
The most powerful and artistic fiction
of modern times, perhaps of any period,
whether judged by the extent TO which
itated and translated or by the depth of
its revolutionary effects on society, is
Uncle Toms Cabin. It drew much
of its power from the hunger the world
felt for new art that should be Amer
lean. Irving wrote volumes on England,
Spain, Mohammedan histories, ETC., all
of which are passing into waste paper
because they have not the originality of
true art, while his name lives only in
that small portion of his work whose
theme was American-viz, the legend
Of Sleepy Hollow, Rip Van Wrinkle and
Diedrich Knickerbocker. Humboldt
ahowed that travel and observation were
fine arts, and that the best field for
their practice lay In America. Audubon
lifted the study of birds into a fine art
and found no field necessary TO its prac-
tice but America. Lowell, Mark Twain
and Bret Harte have lifted American
humor into an art so fine that the Euro
pean world itself is inquiring whether
all real humor is not exclusively an
American art.-Gunton' Magazine.
