Rossl-Diehl, in New York Times:
After satisfying the conservative sense
in the perfecting of a useful object the
savage carves into it forms that charm
the eye. This is not a mere caprice or
a fad, but it is actuated by the sense
Of the beautiful that is governed by a
lower or constructive order of laws,
and d higher order of laws of the beau
tiful which are subject to the sense of
gravity as opposed to the more physical
law Of gravity. The law of gravity
holds man in material bonds. the sense
of gravity hberates the mind of man
from material and sordid bondage This
sense actuated the chisel, brush and
stylus Of the ancient Greeks illurnin-
ated the vellum Of medieval art, rem
dered every line Of the heavenward
striving Gothic cathedral instinct with
life and bequeathed to US the marveIs
of the early Renaissance period. These
productions range from the minutest
detail to the most elaborate art monu-
ment as a total, and stand a lasting
monument TO the divine spark kindled
in the mind Of man.

New York Herald: The mooted cues
ton as to what constitutes a work of
art has at last been settled BIZ the
United States Board of General Ap-
praisers. In a decision filed a technical
definition has been framed, which draws
a sharp line between works Of art and
mechanical productions, and which will
have a marked effect upon the impor-
tations OF statuary and paintings in the
future.
The decision is on broad lines, and
practically places within the tariff def
milton Of works of art original produc-
tons only, excluding copies and the
work Of artisans made outside of the
studio of the artist who created the orig
inal design.
The opinions were written by Colonel
George c. Tichenor. and were the result
OF protests filed in the case of the altar
and reredos intended for presentation to
Trinity Episcopal Church at Binghamp-
ton. and a similar case in which busts,
groups in marble alabaster and bronze
formed the consignment.
An exhaustive hearing was given tc
beth cases. Among the artists who ap-
peared before the board were j. q. a.
Ward. Augustus st. Gaudens and VIII
son Mcdonald. In the matter of the re-
redos ii was shown that it was designed
~ this country and made at an estab-
lshment in France, which operates
lathes and marble cutting machines fer
producing funeral monuments and al
tars, and for the purposes of art and
commerce.
The altar and reredos was classed by
the appraisers as dressed Caen stone.
Five scalptors testified that IL was an
architectural production" One OF
them is quoted in the opinion by Colonel
Tichenor, and the language evidently
expresses the sentiment OF the board,
In answer to the question, rs il work

MY reply is that il is not a work OF
art. But think this reply needs some
qualification. 1t is difficult to define a
work Of art. or to say just whore work
OF art begins or where II ends. In a
large sense, everything. from the COM
monest design on a cheap cast iron stove
to the frieze Of the Parthenon can be
includ q in the expression works Of art.
There is no established line. every man
draws his own line. The nearest ] can
get TO il is that which is generally un-
derstood b. artists as a work of art

professional artist in his own studio.

resistance as he needs, under his own

The craze which once existed for
pad" or block" calendars seems to
be nearly over 1t is to be doubted
whether the public ever took it's daily
homeopathic dose of literature as pre-
scribed in this way, especially as the
selections We're as a rule entirely dis
connected with the days or even the
months for which they We're used. No
one viii regret the practical disappear
ance of these literary monstrosities,
except possibly those men who found
the little slips convenient for use as
shaving papers," Among the greatest
novelties in calendars during the pres
ent season are transparencies, partly
manufactured in Paris, which when
hung in a window, or before artificial
light of any kind, display dainty pic
lures in colors.

New York Post: Our 'fcute" traders,
not content with debating japanese
production and distorting Japanese
taste to meet the supposed eXigencies
of our market, are themselves machin-
ing, as a browning atrocity, metal

abortions of depraved ignorance are
thin to the feel and clinky to the ear,
painted in Opaque chocolate and spat-
tered with flowers, as CHASTITY as rouge

the execution of the mural paintings at
the Astoria Hotel, but it seems the
unenviable record for dispatch is held

stoned to paint sixteen panels. Eight
of them were for the ceiling and eight
for spandrils. the latter spaces sug-
costing that the figures were at least
of full size. For choosing his subjects,
making studies, and executing the work
the artist had barely three weeks. On
the ceiling he has symbolized eight d.

Mr.. Barr has turned towards the days
of DID, as shown both in "Mediaeval

follow it, and which is to be his most
important and ambitious work. The
latter is the romance recently writ

ruined chamber of an old castle on the

AFRAID TO SPEAK FOR SILVER.

N what speech since his campaign opened has
| Mcguire made an argument for the free coinage OF
silver at 10 to 1?
He is the candidate of three parties which fused on
silver and nothing but silver 1t sthe sole and single
issue upon which they are agreed and upon which
they found common action possible. 1t is the sole
and only issue upon which the free silver Republicans
cut their connection with their original party They
are proectoniss. They supporters OF the general
policies of McKnleys administration. They Endorsed
the President in their platform. They nominated
Mcguire on free silver only, and he appeared in their
convention and accepted their nomination and their
platform issue of free silver. But he has been on the
stump for weeks and has said nothing consequential
in favor OF silver.
The Popusts and free silver Republicans to
have been bunkoed. If ever free silver needed de-
tense this is the time But it is abandoned by the
New York Democracy, and is only slightly frted
with by that party in several States, with the evident
intention of dropping it when its power to catch
votes is lost.
In 1896 Judge Mcguire joined its other advocates
in declaring that the only OF rescue Of the
people was by free silver at 1o to The memorable
logic of events has proved them to have been wrong.
The policies of the Republican party, by restoring
confidence have restored degree Of prosperity which
seemed impossible in the hard years of 1894 1906 and
1906
To show the extent Of this restoration we take the
following market reports and prices from the Omaha
Word-Herald of which Mr.. Bryan was the editor in
1906 and on whose free transportation he riding
on the Southern Pacific road on his visit Califor
MIA last year, and whose proprietor Mr. Hitchcock,
is the Popust fusion candidate for Congress in the
Omaha district
The World Herald market report makes the fol-
lowing showing for 1906 and 1903:

lcan paper, its support is Tor sale to any oeluaeu
candidate who will buy SO notorious is Its venaiity
that Endorsement from is than worthless, ana
the purchaser finds himself in possession OF gold
brick but thinly gded-
lust what the terms may be on which the Bulletin
supports Phean is not matter OF particular interest
But it is a remarkable circumstance that man
deemed OF sufficient intelligence to be Mayor OF San
Francisco should have yielded to palpable bunko
game The Bulletin does not throw its supposed in
uence to any candidate until it has gone through the
formality OF a business proceeding
Immediately after the nomination OF Patton he was
called on by a representative OF the Bulletin, who
wanted to do business" The matter got no farther
Mr. Patton is NOT buying the untrammeled opinion OF
great journalists and as a shrewd business man he
knows that even were such course legitimate the
Bulletin has influence
1t will be remembered that two years ago the Bull
letn demanded $1,000 for supporting the RepuDll-
can ticket Neither has it been forgotten that within
a year it swinded the business community by the
most shameless confidence scheme daily paper ever
undertook Because of these things it is not held in
high esteem and its support cannot be considered de-
srable 1t is sheet without character and without
influence save of negative sort Therefore its ed1-
torial approval may be regarded as a calamity And
now in addition to his other woes the misguided
Mayor has secured it. We do not approve of Mayor
Phelan We do not regard him as reformer nor his
expressions of love for political purity sincere and
yet we realize he has good points, and would willing
ly have seen him escape the woe OF Bulletin in
dorsement.
While the prospect of defeating the Phean am
bition is pleasing The Call and other respectable
journals who view it with satisfaction do not wish the
aid OF the Bulletin made certain This is a re-
spectacle contest The decent papers and the decent
people who hope Phelan defeated demur at the
idea that such bogus editorial output as the Bule-
tins should be sold to unsophisticated dictator
and guileess custodian of jobs.

FAILED AS A LEADER.

WHEN Mayor Phelan went into office there
NM was general feeling that heightened gen
L tlenan had reached the executive chair. Even
those who had opposed him willing to wait be-
fore giving verdict to his worth.
Mayor Phean has been disappointment. In no
particular has he fulfilled the promise held out in the
beginning to crafty friends and reconcile foes His
official career in the light of present knowledge, is
long series OF mistakes 1t has been found that he
virtually appointed every man in municipal Office.
He named the Supervisors and the members OF the
Board OF Education. This fact is enough to con-
denim him.
From the first the record OF the Supervisors has
been one OF shame. The way in which they daled
with the water company stamped them aggrega-
ton where rogues were in the majority. When the
Mayor Disguised with his own, attempted to Gust
them, he adopted illegal means, which defeated the
object in view The Supervisors have permitted the
construction of the municipal building to drag.
They have granted extensions OF time to contractors
who should long ago have forfeited the contract and
the same Supervisors to continue in power there
is every to suppose these contractors could
have ten years. or a thousand, if they asked for it
But the record OF the School Board has been

degree of uselessness. Some OF the members have
been accused Of accepting brides, and there is every
reason except that OF actual conviction believe the
charges we'll founded. There has been stealing in the
department such as should send the guilty TO the
penitcntary and there have been hired teachers for
whose services there is demand In fact, the de-
partment has from the first reeked with scandal and
it still reeks.
When the fact is remembered that both Of these
august bodies were made up of the selections OF
Mayor Phean, doubt naturally arises to his fit
Yet the Mayor presumes this year to pick out
a committee OF Ioo and ostensibly to place in it's
hands all the power of the party. We say "osten-
sibly because the whole power with the Mayor.
The committee is an idle farce; it is Phelan. When
the Mayor has made such abect failure of his for
mer selections why should he be intrusted with
authority to the ticket from top to bottom?
We do not know, and asking for information.
That we have no confidence in the ticket hardly needs
saying.
1t is no wonder that members of this committee
protest and declare they will vote for Patton 1t is
no wonder that the Non-Partisans are feeling that
in being cajoled into Endorsement of Phelan they
were swindled They know that the purpose of their
organization did not require them to espouse the
cause OF any candidate until his opponent should
have been named, and they resent the imposition.
Phelan will hear from the Non Partsans on election
