DE GUSTIBTS.

The challenge of an artist in Paris.
whose Painting was ''skied." to a fellow
artist on the exposition jury that each
paint picture without signing it and
see which would be accepted carries the
old protest against the critics-that they
judge by names instead of perform
ances.
This is the usual mental attitude of
those who fail TO achieve greatness in
the field in which their ambition is en-
gagged. The critics are to blame. If
only l could once get an audience" they
say, my merit would be instantly rec
QgniZed. but the prejudice of the critics.
who judge only by names and not by
work. bars the way"
Sometimes names do carry weight
with critics. The explanation is easy.
The human mind does hot revert to first
principles each time it analyses a new
proposition. To do SO would be a tedi
Gus process. For instance, if with each
new proposition in geometry the matlie-
matician had TO prove again all the for
nler propositions involved in his latest
demonstration he would make LITTLE
progress. These propositions become so
firmly established in his mind as to be
granted instantly they are presented.
1t is so even in the field of taste and
criticism. The mind erects certain
stages of undOubted stability from
which it sets out on its advances. For
this reason name carries weight. The
critic has before reverted 10 established
principles in considering the work that
goes with this name. The name becomes
one of his stages. This is a time and
labor saving mental habit of man,
though it achieves better results In
mathematics than in taste and criticism.
AT any rate it is poor practice to rail
against critics in the field of taste. If
the opinions of the critic have aDy
weight it is because he has won his
spurs In that case railing against him
will not mend matters. Ii the critic
have no authority his utterances have
10 weight, and there is no need to worry
over him.

IN THE WORLD'S EYE.

Secretary Of State Hays prompt aid
earnest cooperation with Governor
Francis and Messrs Cobb and Spencer
in the preliminary conference necessary
to the issuance of invitations to all for
eisn Governments 10 participate in the
st. Louis Worlds Fair of 1893 promises
that there shall be no delay i'm this di-
rection.
The formal notification TO be issued
from the State Department in Washing
ton will at once attract the attention Of
all nations 10 the Worlds Fair city Of
1903. From this time forward ST. Louis
will stand in the clear light of interna-
tional fame such as only Worlds Fair
cities enjoy. The attention thus be-
slowed will increase in intensity as the
passing OF time brings nearer the date
set for the celebration of the centennial
anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase
The spectacle To be presented to the
world must be that Of u city engaged
with all ills energy and enthusiasm and
native vigor in the task of arranging for
the most impressive Worlds Fair known
to history. The dauniless American
spirit which exists throughout what was
once known as the Louisiana Purchase
Territory must be shown at its best in
the unqualified success of the ST. Louis
Worlds Fair. That 1t will be thus man.
ifested no one may doubt who knows the
people of st. Louis. a city which has
never vet failed to break all records in
any achievement which it undertakes.
With the return 10 ST. Louis of Gov
ernor Francis and Messrs. Cobb and
Spencer this spirit of Worlds Fair en-
thusiasm will appear i'm unmistakable
evidence. 1t is also certain that from
that moment the definite work of prep
aration for the Worlds Fair will begin.
There is no time 10 lose. and st. Louis
is eager for action.

NO FIGHT OF OURS.

President Mckinley and his Cabinet
acted wisely In deciding that the Ameri,
can diplomatic and naval representa-
tives in China shall take no part in the
existing crisis beyond that necessitated
for the protection OF American life and
property.
The big game of world politics now
being played with Pekin as the scene
of action is q game in which the United
States Government is interested only to
as the menace Of war consists, the
Powers legitimateiy threatened are Rus
sia, England and Japan, each striving
for advantage. with England and Japan
aligned against Russia. There is no &C.
casion as yet for the United States to
become embroiled In this quarrel.
Russia's notification to the Govern
ment at Washington to the effect that
the United States were expected 10
maintain a neutral attitude in China
should have been unnecessary. Now
that President Mckinley's Cabinet has
acted in compliance with that notifica-
ton the relief felt by Russia should be
shared by the American people. 1t
would be depiorable indeed were this
Government 10 allow itself to be drawn
into European war with the cause
OF which it had no concern as an inter-
ested principal.

MAY BE OF BENEFIT.

| Ii may at least be said in the nature
, of consolatory reflection on ST. Louis 5
! lack of a municipal executive with a
| proper conception of his official duties
that Mayor Ziegenhein is helping to
crystallize public sentiment in behalf Of
the election TO the mayoralty of a man
able and willing TO safeguard the public
interest.
There Is no occasion 10 express sur
prise at the lamentable failure of Iieg
cnhein to meet the demands made upon
of crisis such as the present. The rec
, ord he is now making is in keeping with
that which has extended unbrokcn
throughout his term OF office. Buffoonery
and incapacity are the prevailing fca-
lures of his administration. He has hu-
Initiated and disappointed ST. Louisans
SO consistently that it is idle 10 expect
of him anything but humiliation and dis
appointment.
The surest result of the Iiegenhein adj
ministration of local affairs should be
the election as his successor of a repre-
sentative st. LOuisan SO well known for
character and achievement that there
shall be no reasonable doubt of Il salts
factory performance of mayoralty duties.
There Is an earnest demand for such
Mayer. The people of ST. Louis have
had enough of clown-play and duty
dodging in the Mayors office. They
have paid the cost and learned the les
son OF mayoralty incompetence blended
with low comedy. What they favor now
is the election of Il man who shall prop
erly stand for the dignity and the wei
fare of the fourth city in the Union.
If This teaching remains permanently
in the public mind and bears the good
fruit of IL more careful choice of mayor
atty material in the future il will not
be all in vain that st. Louis has blushed
and suffered for Ziegenhein and Ziegen-
heinism. The lesson has certainly been
severe enough to insure its permanency.
1t is To be hoped that its benefits will
become apparent when the time arrives
TO elect Il successor TO Ziegenhein.

COLONEL FLORY'S WUEEI.

When Colonel joe Flory. the Republic.
an candidate for Governor of Missouri.
starts out campaigning on that rubber
tired railroad bicycle which he has had
made for this especial purpose, the
pathetic spectacle will be presented of
man using his own best efforts to
speed himself along the downsrade TO
destruction.
The ColonePs railroad bicycle will un-
doubtedly excite a profound interest
throughout Missouri. This is great
campaigning State. and there have been
many novel campaigns conducted with
in its boundary lines. but a bicycle
campaign is unique in its history. 1t
will vastly entertain Missourians TO
watch Colonel Flory speeding from sta
ton TO station Oh his railroad wheel,
putting and sweating, with one eye on
the back track and one on the front,
and both, mentally, on the main chance
of his election to office. Ii might Ire
well. also, for the Colonel to give ex-
hibition spurts on his winged Mercury
after each speech, if he has the netes-
sary wind left.
But when it comes to eleciing Colonel
Flory TO the GoyernOrship Of Missouri,
the people of this fine old State will have
TO draw the line. Leaving out the sin
of his Repubiicanism, it's hard TO vote
for man after you've seen the calves of
his legs all knotted up from .scorching.-
and heard every pasture bull In the
State snort, contemptuously at his
strange bgure against the horizons

HE'S ALL RIGHT.

If the daughter of Banker Snow of

ents' wishes. she might have gone far
ther and aimed higher and faired much
worse.
\ healthy. temperate and reasonably
ambitious young American working in
Il machine-shop is man at whom 10
girl can afford TO turn up her nose. His
future is limited in its possibilities Of
fortune and station only by Gods limita-
tiops placed on his mind and body. In
this fine country of ours it is easy for
such Il man to attain independence and
competence. 1t is OF such men that our
millionaires are made. The Presidency
is as attainable To him as 10 any other
citizen of the United States.
1t would have been deplorable indeed
if, Instead of marrying this excellent
young workingman. Miss Alice Snow of
Newton had become the wife of some
dissolute son Of a rich father. ruined in
his habits by the possession of money
and the absence of any necessity for
honest effort. Her parents might then
well have protested against her choice.
But in the case of the machine-shop lad
whom she loved instead-there's no rea-
son for parental opposition there! He is
of the very pick and flower of American
manhood if he chooses TO live up TO his
opportunities.

EXPATRIATION.

The presumed motive which led the
Bradley Martins and William Waldorf
AstOr to change from citizens of the
United States to subjects of the Queen
OF England may be said to be the least
cred!table on which such transfer
could be based.
A desire for wealth. though potent. is
nos high motive at best, but THAT de-
sire to escape personal taxes should lead
to expntriation Is reprehensible.
The wealth Of the Astors and the
Bradley Martins arises from the growth

is protected by the laws and safeguard

Philadelphia. Pa. June 9.-Doctor Fred

to him by the conductor before he left the
train. and hts ticket accepted. The doctor

1t is easy 70 understand how q citizen

The reverse is the case with Astor and
the Bradley Martins. Their action is SO
unnatural that some cause additional to

Ii is not unlikely that the Anglomania
which has prevailed in some circles i'll

ADDS A NEW TERROR.

The departure which an Illinois bride
has introduced in church weddings gives
promise of being largely honored In the
breach. She organized so that not a
member of the male sex figured in the
bridal party, except the bridegroom him.
self.
There Is strong undercurrent of
truth in the recent bit of humor: Have
you ever been in a position that tested
a woman. Yes. once" answers the
man. Il was the leading male actor in
q big church wedding
This is how the ordinary man regards
such an episode even when he has
friends behind him. stanch and tried
through years of bachelorhood; kind,
sympathetic friends who will not re-
mark how frightened he looks, and how
funnily his coat fiops as he walks up the
aisle. What will be his feelings if this
moral support is removed; if, all alone
in sea of femininity. he staggers, floun-
ders heiplessly to the altar?
Men purposing matrimony will have
something to say about this feature of
The event, and they will enter a negative,
heartfelt and irrevocable, against the IL
iinois innovation.
There are those who declare that when
a mans married his troubles begin, but
even those who from the secure precincts
of their single wretchedness gloat over
such conviction will not ask that this
additional barrier be placed between Il
man and the woman he loves. There
are enough without it.
