An Advancement i'm Art.

Some interesting reflections are sug-
gested by perusal of old magazines, with
their out-of-date prints. There is one par
ticular thing in which the oldtime wood
cuts were notably deficient. This was the
ability to represent action; and, perhaps.
the most notable example of this failure
in artistic truth is the horse.
For at least one generation the conyen-
tional horse was Of one pattern, and he
was not much like the real animal.
Whether running, walking, or trotting. he
was represented in attitudes which the real
horse never assumes. The art of the past
was painstaking, slow, careful, and, hence.
frequently inaccurate. One reason why the
Japanese are SO far in advance of us in
certain branches of artistic work is that
they have developed through countless
generations quickness of eye and a sure
ness OF touch which few Europeans can
hope to equal even approximately. A
Japanese artist will sit down cross legged
on the floor, watch an insect poising .ust
for an instant in the air, and transfer the
counterfeit presentment of it to his paper
with few strokes of the brush. The Eu-
ropean has to catch the insect and transfx
him with pin. mix his colors laboriously,
study the creature in action for some time.
and then take more time to paint it-and
his picture is not true.
Photography, however. has been of much
service in the training of the European
and American eye. Instantaneous pho
Biography has been especially valuable in
this way. 1t will reveal the fact that the
Japanese view of flying bird or insect is,
in ninety-nine cases out Of hundred, alb
solutely correct, because he sees the thing
as II Is during one brief second, while our
slower vision gets a sort OF composite.
Remington was the first artist who repre-
sented the moving horse with anything
Ike this accuracy. and his pictures appeared

The Rebuke of weyIer.

General Weyler is now trying to stir up
trouble in Spain. He is attempting to ar
ray the military strength of the country
against the civil authority. the accomplish
ment Of which. OF course, would mean vio-
lent revolution.
When Weyler declared In Senate speech
that Spain had been passing through a
crisis ever since the death of Premier Can
eras del Castillo. be stated a truth OF. vast
significance to Spain and of no small con-
cern to the cause of liberty everywhere.
Canovas was a revolutionist whose inf1u-
ence would have carried Spain back to
the destiny of the distraught kingdom. His
death, barbarous though it was, at the
hands of an assassin, came just in time to
save Spain from fate worse than is rep
resented by the loss OF her colonies in the
West and the East Indies. Weyler stands
for what CRnovas stood for The only Diff
ference to Spain between them is that
weyler can do less harm than the dead
lion, because Of his lack OF the wondrous
capacity possessed by the other
II is especially encouraging to the hope
OF better things for Spain that the reac-
tionary sentiments expressed by weyler
received such a stern rebuke in the Span
ish Senate from the lips OF representa-
tive of the government 1.-The army. ="
said Minister Dato, sis intended for the
service of the country, and not to further
private ambitions" He also assured the
nation that anybody attempting to defy
authority would be inexorably dealt with.
These utterances indicate a healthy growth
in Spanish political sentiment They are
a guarantee of the relegation of the army
To its proper place in the government, and
mean that eventually the military strength
OF the country viii be reduced to its
actual needs. They also indicate
that the present government has the
situation SO thoroughly in hand that Spain
need no longer fear the evil intent OF Don
Carlos and his clan In brief, 1t appears
certain that what Weyler -discerns is really
the beginning OF Spain's regeneration. Her

An AntiIIenn PIague spot.

The assassination of President Heureaux
serves to call attention TO a dis
graceful condition of Antillean affairs
which should receive attention in this coun-
try The state in which the assassination
occurred is part Of the little island of San
Domingo. The other part belongs to the
opera bouffe government of Haiti The
island lies between our possession Of Porto
Rico and our protectorate of Cuba. The
conditions of civilization are quite as bad
in Haiti as they are indicated 10 be in San
TO Domingo by the rumored assassination of
President Heureaux- In both of these con-
temptible little states the inhabitants have
a cheerful habit of killing their rulers
when they make up their minds for q po-
litical change. This would not be alto
gether bad if the motive were for an i'm
proved government. The history of the
two countries, however. does not warrant
belief in the affirmative of this proposition.
The bald fact is that a change OF rulers by
the murder method in San Domingo sim
ply means that one set of robbers has been
superseded by another.
A state Of things is thus indicated which
should long ago have been looked after by
the United States. Our general interest in
orderly progress in the Antilles would have
been sufficient excuse for our investigation
of conditions down there al any time during
these past twoscore years or more IL is
evident that our example has been of no
practical benefit TO the inhabitants But
now that we have valuable property in hand
md in hnth ciI or Can M
mingo we should make IL our business 10
see to it not only that the islands dual
governmental systems are modernized but
also that the Inhabitants show proper re-
spect for civilized methods. We might as
well begin now as al any time in future,
for sooner or later We shall be compelled
TO make sharp enquiry into conditions
down there, in order to protect our close
interests from the constant menace of law
lessness and anarchy.
This Government should not feel content
with the bare news of Heureaux's
murder The probe should be ap-
piled by us into the cause of the foul
deed, and barriers should be erected by us
against a repetition of the crime In no
other way can We make our power felt in
New World affairs by the ignorant hordes
that are retarding development in the An
titles. 1t may be that after a while We
shall find it necessary, in order to complete
our chain of defences around the Gulf OF
Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. to plant the
fiag in San Domingo. Certainly, there
would be rotten link in the chain if we
should allow present conditions to continue
on that island.

WANTS THE BOOKS EXAMINED
A Shareholder in the American Malt
ing Company May Apply to Courts.

New York, July 27.-Otto Huber, brew
er in Brooklyn Borough, wants to have an
expert examine the books of the American
Mailing Company. in which he and MEM
bers of his family. are large stockholders.
principally of the common stock. Unless
this privilege is accorded him Mr. Huber
threatens TO apply to the chancery court.
of New Jersey for an order compelling the
company to produce its books.
John c. Clarke, a lawyer representing
Mr.. Huber, called at the Office of the com
pany, so Broadway, yesterday, and pre-
sented a letter signed by his client and
some of the latter's relatives in which a
demand was made that the books be open
ed for the lawyers inspection 1t was also
stated in the letter that unless this wish
was accorded proceedings would be taken
in the courts. e
The lawyer was told that Mr.. Huber or
any other stockholder could examine the
books at any time: that there was nothing
! to be hidden. Then the lawyer withdrew.
Mr.. Huber's action became known IN
Wall Street and it made the stock OF the
American Mailing Company very inter-
esting feature or the trading in the Stock

| president in Mr. Stadler's absence
| 'Mr. Huber bought 5000 shares of tht

and he has 1.20e shares OF the preferred

in September, 1897, with a capital of $50.
