SIR JOHN EVERETT MILLAIS
Ills favorite picturel

grounds, hence the queens displeas-
ure. Time has probably softened her
prejudices in this respect. for there was
no hint of royal displeasure when Mil
lais was again proposed, on the death
Of Lord Leighton.
The new president is an artist OF dis
tinction, and while all schools of art do
not favor him he is more popular than
most men who have won fame and for
tune in their chosen calling. OF splen-
did build, strength and health, an en-
gaginR talker, d strong and virile per-
sonality, handsome of face and charm
ing OF manner, bearing his 67 years
easily, Millais more nearly approx
mates the late Lord Leighton as the
ideal head of Burlington house, and the
chief executive of Great Britain's off,
cisl art Institutions, than any of his
colleagues.
His early career is unique. He was
born in Southampton in 1929 and al
most from his babyhood he showed
signs of the future artist. At 10 years
he drew astonishingly we'll, and at II
he would compose intricate arrange
ments of figures and horses that would
have been creditable suggestions for a
man of 80. At 9 he won the silver
medal of the Society of Arts with a
drawing from the antique, and when II
years of age he became student in the
Royal Academy, where. at IA, he took
the silver medal. Four years later he
received the distinction of the gold
medal, the greatest honor that the
school can bestow.
He was an exhibitor at the Royal
Academy before he was out of his
teens, and as lad, in connection with
Dante G. Rossetti, Holman Hunt and
others-there were seven in all-he
helped to found the -Raphaelite
Brotherhood, curious organization
whose motto was "Truth," and whose
aim WAS to gsneralize nothing, but
paint the detail of everything, plan
by the way, that resulted in anything
but the truth, for giving the same i'm.
portance to everything and painting
distant objects with the same fidelity
that was bestowed upon those in the
immediate foreground, the pictures
lost entirely the qualities of air, per-
spective and relation, ending in q con-
fused mass Of little things and having
none of the larger attributes of great
art.
It was during this period that Mil
lsis produced his "Christ in the House
Of His Parents," picture that at
trscted much attention and which wal
shown thirty years later, in 1881, at ar
exhibition of his work held In London

and his very name has become a terror
and is associated with that Of pirate,
highwayman and robber.
What is the offence Of the moon
sinner? It is not named in the Deca-
-Ogue. 1t is only what the most re-
sepctable citizen might have done fifty
years ago without let, hindrance or
offanse. It is not, from moral stand
point, whit worse than the making or
hard cider.
But it is an offense against the reve-
nue. laws of the United States; against
the money getting power Of the govern
men-, wherewith rs officials are to be
supported: hence the awful criminality
Of "mOonsh:ning. We confess that We
never hear of a United States Marshal
being shot by a mOonshiner, without
admiration and pity for the poor moon
sinner. We know that this is almost
treason against the government, but we
have been a great traitor in our time.

ALL UP SALT RIVER.
The Division in the Ranks of the Lewis
County Republicans-Joining the Democ-

racy.
Weston Word, (Rep)
Yesterday was election day and to-
day the Republican craft with all on
board are well up salt river. The Re
publican ticket was all right, but che
party was al wrong, hence that dull
thud. The voting was quie, but steady
all day, and when the polls closed the
heaviest vote In the history of the town
had been cast. Never before had there
been 50 much interest manifested in a
municipal election. The Republicans,
the few that didn't 80 over to the enc
my, put up as good a fight as possible
under The circumstances and stayed by
the ticket until the sun went down.
The Republican eicket was a good one
and got enough dissatisfied Democratic
votes to have been triumphantly elect
ed, but for treachery in the party.
The ticket was nominated by a Re-
publican convention, harmonious in it's
action, and the race was made only for
the Sood CT the party. and Il IS this thad
makes ne slaughter all the more
shameful Every man on the ticket is
a good. c,ean representative Republican
and showed the faith that was in him.
Defeat was not deserved and came not
on the line of party principle, but from
a combination impossible to overcome.
We fear it was bad days work for the
Republican party.
