Some weeks g THE SUN reported tho
appearance of a Puritanical, reformatory
spirit in Paris, and we have now more de-
tailed information of 1t received by mail.
The newspapers and society are discussing
the question as to where art ends in
sculpture, painting, or literature. and where
obscenity begins. This movement in favor of
greater purity In French life. and of inter
ference on the part of the State with mat
tiers hitherto left unregulated as belonging
to privacy, really had its start several years
ago. The name of Senator B%ERENGER, dis
tinguished as "pas ceiut qui await do
Fesprit," has become identified with this
agitation almost as closely as that of
ANTHONY CoMsToCK with the New York
fanaticism, and the enator has at last
succeeded in getting a bill passed which,
unless much modified from it's original
form, goes beyond any Legislation hitherto
enacted In any Anglo-Saxon or any other
civilized community.
The bill makes not only the sale, but the
giving or lending, and even the mere pos
| session of objects or books declared to be
indecent, a misdemeanor. punishable with
a fine of from $40 to 81 900, and with I'M
prisonment varying from one month TO two
years. No plea hat u book Is a classic,
or that a statue or picture is a work of
art, can arise, as the bill defines
what is indecent, and the declared
intention is to remove from public
view in the Louvre and other museums
well-known works of art. and to forbid the
use of famous books in the National Ii.
brary and other libraries. The trainers of
the bill are said to have prepared a list OF
over a hundred masterpieces of literature
by French authors alone, which are to be
tabooed; the list furnishing . standard by
which the smaller fry may DO judged.
In spite Of the agitation among artists

no standing in the Democratic party, and

It until they swallow their convictions and
adhere to the party programme. II they are
not ready to do 20, they will not "get
together" with the Organizes, and in main.
tanning their separate organization they
simply waste the little strength which they
possess without doing anything practical
to oppose the revolutionary principles
which are the gospel Of the present Demo
cratic party.
The political fate of these "sound DEM
~ocrats" who prefer q name to a princi-
pie, or who hate q protective tariff moro
than they hate FREQ silver and free riot,
is not doubtful and cannot be long de-
layed. The trimmers and weak.kneed

will not blink at the facts and sincerely
and without reserve prefer Republican rule
to the enormities of the Chicago platform,
| will continue to vote the Republican ticket
until the Democratic party has been licked
enough to know that 1t must give up its
socialistic, lawless, and tramp-dattering
proposals. That will not be before 1900. and
meanwhile 1t Is necessary that at no cleo
ton shall Organism be allowed to gain an
advantage. Eager, aggressive, fanatically
confident, the Democratic party is every
where renewing the fight Of 1896 and show
ing its undated zeal for the doctrines Of
the Chicago platform. If anywhere, as In
this town, any of its leaders seek to turn to
local issues, 1t 10 merely because they are
afraid of national issues at this time, and
hope by quilting the public to win, by means
of local issues, what every Democrat in the
country knows would be- q great national
Bryanite triumph, the election Of a Mayor
of New York in the name of BRYAN's party.
The Democrats who voted for PALMER
and BUCKNER misunderstood ludicrously
the sentiment of the Democratic party IL
they think that between six and seven mil
lions of Democratic voters dream Of giving
up the Chicago platform for the of win
ming them back. They can be reunited to
the Democratic party in no other way than
by accepting the Chicago platform. They
cannot resist that platform effectively at
present except by joining with the Repub-
lican party. The emergency which requires
the services of all the friends of good money
and order has not passed away. The snake
Is scotched. not killed.

1t should not be forgotten among the
splendors Of Jubilees and regattas that Onset
Bay. Mass, is having diversions more excellent
though reconcile. Onset Bay has long been
known as the favorite bivouac of spooks, and its
shadowy reaches are overrun with discmhodied
mind. 1t seems that the Hon. HENRY BLAvAT-
Sky FoULKE has gathered spirits from tho
hooks OF the Himalayas and other ~esotoric
withdrawing rooms. and that the Mahatmas
themselves arc liable to be found at On
set Bay any given midnight. II Onset Bay
is true to Its great traditions. remarkable things
will be heard of. II not heard and seen, there ere
the huckleberries wither from the land. A mos.

wireless long-distance telephone from India, and
an air race between two eight-eared crews OF
Mahatmas are among the events which may be
looked for.

ate, In alliance with the silver Repub-
licans and the Populists, the combination
whose defeat last November is regretted by
Mr.. SHEPARD, could defeat and would de-

President MCKINLEY would have wasted

Rice and Cherries.

A story was told of JEFFERSON by Mr..
VEST during the senate debate on the
tariff. While Minister to France from
the United States, and with the tre-
mendous events Of the French Revolu-
tion going on before his eyes, JEF.
PERSON ''never for one instant ceased
to export by sailing vessels to the United
States all sorts of foreign plants and bulbs
in order to improve the agriculture Of tho
people of this country" He became in
terested in tho culture of rice, then be-
ginning in the Carolinas, and found a very
superior quality of rice in a port Of Italy:
"He was not able to procure any of II for export,
because the laws of Italy prohibited its expectation,
and It 10 said that tho author OF the DECLARE.
ton OF Independence filled the pockets Of his
Virginia overcoat-the old.fashioned Virginia coat,
with capes TO It, which our grandfathers wore-with

ages OF Ave and ten grains, and sent It to Charleston,
8. O., and that was tho basis Of tho South Carolina
rice. the finest now In the world"
Mr.. VEST had also something to say about
cherries. He thinks that the finest cherries
in the world are raised in the United States:
at is said that they have cherries equal to them
in France. but I have never seen them. The cherry OF
Washington and oregon is tho nnest fruit. In my
opinion. ever put In the mouth Of mortal man."
Probably the famou eulogy Of strawber-
ries attributed by IzAAK WALTON to DR..
BUTLER, or BoTELBR, will not be dis
credited by the tribute Of Senator VEST to
American cherries, yet this last may stand
for what it is worth. 1t certainly gave
flavor to one part Of the tariff debate.
