The Virginia Movement.
est. Louis ReDublic.)


Widespread interest is being taken in
the movement in progress among Vir-
ginia Democrats to select through the
primaries candidate for United States
senator. This would be practically equi-
valent 10 an election by direct vote Of
the people.
Reason for this interest grows out Of
the demand for electing members OF the
senior branch of the National Legisla-
ture by popular vote. The deadlocks and
scandals attending the elections of sena-
tors in Delaware, Pennsylvania, Mon
tana, and California have gone far TO
increase this demand.
At the present time there are a num-
Der of men serving in the United States
Senate who would find it exceedingly diff =
cult to secure an election to that body
If they were compelled 10 go through the
ordeal OF submitting their names to
vote of the people of the states they rep
resent. Hanna is an example i'm point.
Elkins Is another. and Gallinger is still
another. These by no means represent
all the senator's who hold their seats
through improper Influences.
The movement set on foot hy the Vir-
ginia Democrats will grow in popularity
and be adopted, doubtless, by other
States. II may serve to secure a more
representative class of senators until
constitutional amendment empowers the
people 10 elect their United States SEN
ators without the intervention OF unreli-
able legislatures.

ROSA HONHEUR.


| Rosa Bonheur, who died Friday, was
undoubtedly one OF the greatest animal
painters the world has ever known. In
her school she was the greatest OF mod
ern times. The critics have frequently
shown a disposition TO compare her with
Landseer, but she was not to be judged
by the Landseer standard, nor is it COM
petent to judge Landseer by the standard
Of tho great Frenchwoman.
Save as to certain broad essentials Of
art common TO all painters, there were
few points of contact between the two.
Rosa Bonheur's work was more sugges-
tive Of that of Paul Potter--the Illus
trious Dutch -painter-than Of that
OF Landseer. The sentimental. the poetic,
and the ideal entered largely into the
compositions of the celebrated English
man. Rosa BOnheur was realistic. Her
models were sought In the slaughter
houses, the paddock, and wherever else
domestic animals were brought together.
In order that she might be freer TO study
animal anatomy action. and intelligence
in such places, She dressed in some mas
culne costume. Her genius demanded
for its best expression large canvasses.
She painted with bold. true, and conf
dent stroke, was above introducing any
thing designed merely to catch the fancy,
and her animals seem TO be creations Of
flesh and blood Rosa Bonheur was born
in Bordeaux seventy-seven years ago. and
inherited her artistic taste. Her father
was painter, and her mother was mu-
sician. Her paintings have found their
way into many Of the most noted gale
ries in this country and Europe. The
picture, which firmly established her
reputation is her Horse Fair" This
composition is now the property Of the
Museum in New York. and
is widely known through engraving re-
productions. She never married.

The American officers who last sum-
mer found themselves so oppressed by
the rigors of the Cuban climate that they
addressed "round robin" to the War
Department, were not the only famous
men who have resorted to this cautious
method OF making an appeal to their SUI
periors. Indeed, the practice appears 10
have been quite an ancient one, and Bos-
wei, in his life of DR.. Johnson, asserts
that it was frequently employed by sail
ors when plotting or conspiring. the
great and self-important DR.. Samuel
Johnson was himself q recipient Of one
of these communications in the year 1916.
He had just written in Latin an epitaph
for his famous friend, Oliver Goldsmith,
but the friends of the poet, on seeing 1t.
were considerably dissatisfied. and ielt
that 1t should be altered. All of the
critics had the greatest generation for
DR.. Johnson, but apparently none pos
sessed the courage 10 brave the fierce die
tator and offer objections TO the compost
ton. At last it was limited that there
could be no way so good as that of q
round robin, and the suggestion was
readily acted upon.
Contrary TO expectations Dr. johnson,
who was at all times bearish in his man
ners, received the communication with.
much good humor. though ne positively
refused to write the epitaph in his native
tongue. He said he would never consent
TO disgrace the walls of Westminster
Abbey With an English inscription. AS
the round robin was signed by such men
as Sir Joshua Reynolds. Edmund Burke
Joseph Wharton, and Il. b. Sheridan. IT
may prove interesting to lovers of his
tory. 1t was as follows:
We. the circumscribers, having read
with great pleasure an intended epitaph
Tor the monument of Or. Goldsmith
which, consideieo abstractedly, appears
TO be, for elegant composition and mas
terly style, in every respect worthy of
the pen OF its learned author. are VET Of
opinion that the character OF the de-
ceased as a writer particularly as a poet
is. perhaps. not delineated with all the
exactness which DR.. Johnson is capable
OF giving it. We therefore, with Difference
to his superior judgment humbly request
that he would. at least, take the trouble
OF revising II and OF making such addi-
lions and alterations as he shall think
proper on further perusal. But il we
might venture to express our wishes they
would lead us TO request that he would
write the epitaph in English rather than
In Latin, as we think the memory of so
eminent an English writer ought TO be
perpetuatcd in the language 10 Which his
works are likely to be so lasting an orna-
ment which we also know to have been
the opinion of the late Doctor himself.
This exceedingly diplomatic commune
cation was signed by twelve prominent

The great Mark Twain has stood in the
sacred presence of the Emperor of Aus
tria and exchanged bon mOts with him.
They met last week, and though things
didn't exactly go off according to pro-
gramme the interview was made agree
able. Mark was loaded" with a Ger
man speech, which he had prepared re-
CARELESS of time and expense, but at the
critical moment he forgot it. Franz Josef,
neVert heless, received him cordially, and
when the two began to hit it off easily
Mark recovered his composure and told
his Majesty Of his mishap.
The Emperor laughed heartily and said:
Don't trouble yourself; if you cannot
say anything in German, say it in Eng
hsh, and l will translate it for you"
and, truth TO tell, the mighty monarch
did frequently help Mr.. Clemens with his
German and otherwise made himself very
fetching.
Mark Twain is so whimsical and his
humor pops up in 50 many unexpected
ways, we suspect that this forgotten
speech was a prearranged thing. The
whole affair reminds us of that famous
Interview with President Grant. 1t will
be remembered that Clemens got ratified
on that occasion, too, and finally said:
Mr. President, I'm embarrassed; are
you?"

THE FORD FRANCHISE BILL.

The result of the recent extra session
OF the Legislature Of New York was that
"the Ford franchise bill'' was revised and
amended in several important particu-
lars. The duty of assessing the value Of
franchises was taken out of the hands Of
the local authorities and placed in those
of the state tax commissioners. This con-
cession was demanded by Mr.. Plat, and
is gratifying TO the corporations inter-
ested.
Some other changes We're made that are
favorable TO the corporations, but the
measure, as a whole, is by no means
satisfactory to them. 1t is believed that
Mr. Plat would have liked 10 see the
scheme killed in its entirety, but dared
not instruct his men to vote against it.
in view of Governor Roosevelts enthu-
siastic support of it, and in view of the
overwhelming tide of public opinion de-
manding that corporations shall bear
their full share Of the burdens of taxa
ton.
We presume that the new law will be
tested in the courts.
