that little chance OF breaking it exists.
The Metropolitan Museum Of Art
had, up to the time OF the Rogers be-
quest, received about u 500, 900 in
special gifts and bequests of art treas
ures and money, and out of this an en-
dowment fund of 500, 900 has been
formed Until tie Rogers bequest
there had been not cent left to the
corporation specially for an en- dow
ment. II is estimated that when the
bequest is realized it will net an income
of $500 900 year, which will enable
the authorities to employ larger
force Of curatora and make generous
art purchases. 1t costs the corporation
and the city at present s139, 900 a year
to run the museum, the trustees
furnishing ga, 900 of this and the city,
through the park department, t95, 900.
Beyond this the trustees pay for addi-
tions to the collection.
The museum authorities are hopeful
now that other windfalls from unex-
pected sources will in time swell the
endowment fund to equal that of the
british museum, which is $22, 900, 600.
But that is looking long way ahead.

KILLING OFF TOM JOHNSON.

1t is suspected that the Ohio demo,
cratic convention aimed to kill two
birds with one stone. Ostensibly only
one of these birds was shot at, but il
can hardly be doubted that, since both
were hit, both were intended to be hit.
The convention was completely v
under the control of the Mclean Stan
dard Oil gold bug railway trust crowd
and it begins to be reasonably clear
that the victory for Tom l.. Johnson s
platform was one which was scored
with the consent OF the reactionaries.
At first it seemed that Mr.. Johnson
won in spite of the Mclean influence
and that he had upset all Mclean Is
plans. But the unqualified JOY which
is betrayed throughout the whole cir
Gle of Standard Oilism and by all de-
tenders of monopoly indicates that the
results were not a surprise to the con-
trolling faction and that Mr.. Johnson
was permitted to score triumph the
better to give point TO the main issue
The brutal treatment which Mr.
Bryan received at the hands of the
convention could not fail to arouse the
Bryan men, not only in Ohio, but
throughout the country. Had the
indignity to the Nebrasksn come only
from the Standard Oil crowd, that
would have been accepted a. matter
of course and no particular attention
would have been given the circum-
stance. But the Johnson as we'll a. the
Mclean element were made 10 appear
to be concerned in the effort to hu-
initiate tine democratic leader and the
fact that the Bryan people IN Ohio
are already talking of bolt gives
proof that they have accepted the Col
umbus incident a. an expression not
only of Mclean but of Mayor Johnson
as we'll.
In other words Mayor johnson has
been prejudiced in the ewes OF the
Bryan people throughout the whole
country. We do not believe that Mr..
johnson was in sny sense ar in any
degree a party to the scsndslous effort
of the Columbus gathering to balittle
Mr.. Bryan and To- discredit his les,ier-
ship. Ii II true that Mr.. johnson
was never in full sympathy with MIR.
BRYAN and he never pretended to he.
But IL is also true that Mr.. johnson
was never in sympathy with the gold
bug conspiracy and that he never gave
aid OF comfort 60 the cause against
which Mr.. Bryan - gallantly struc-
gled. Mr.. johnson all the way through
has been radical Democrat, and as

MILLIONS FOR ART.

The late Jacob :. Rogers of New
York has sprung another surprise on
his acquaintance and the public. Not
very long ago me announced his inten-
tion of retiring from business and
closing down permanently the Rogers
Locomotive works, which had been in
successful operation Tor a long time,
unless il was purchased bv given
Clete. This would throw large num-
ber Of people out of employment and
he was importuned to keep the works
running, as II was prosperous. But
the more those interested pleaded the
more determined he became to close
the works permanently on the date
stated unless bought at his figure in
the meantime.

Then Mr. Rogers gave another sur
prise by unexpectedly dying and leav-
ing al estate larger than he had been
supposed to possess, for he had made
no display Of his wealth.
When his will was opened last week
he gave the greatest surprise OF all.
His relatives, who had gathered at
the reading OF the will in expectation
of dividing his fortune. whether great
or small, between them, found that the
locomotive builder had played grim
Joke upon them. His will distributed
among the heirs exprctant just enough
to show that he hal not forgotten
their existence. and then gave the
bulk OF his estate, about s, ,OOO, 600,
to the corporation of the Metropolitan
Museum of Art. The relatives were
surprised and disrusted. and did not
hesitate To- make their feelings evident

THE ORIGIN OF KISSING.

The editor of the Oregon Republican,
an excellent daily publication OF Baker
City, is contemplating embarking upon
the sea of matrimony and has already
selected his crew. He is an authority,
therefore, on kissing and all associate
subjects He discusses the oscu latory
science in recent editorial AS follows /:
A Germantown man who claims to
have made study of the kiss in that
spirit of scientific analysis which is
now so popular, says that il really has
most interesting history.
Its origin was in prehistoric times,
possibly when the cave man was bat
tling for his life against all sorts of
foes, but ethnoiogists differ as to just
how il was discovered.
One learned school holds that il arose
through cannibalism that one person
would rub his lips over the flesh of
another to see If the flesh was suf-
ticiently sweet and tender for eating
purposes, and, on memorable day,
young warrior brushed with his lips
the mouth of girl of the tribe. and
with that soft shock, electrical and
sweet, the kiss was born.

POPULAR UNIVERSITIES IN FRANCE,

1t has escaped general attention that
the university extension movement has
recently commenced to make more
rapid progress in France than in any
other country. Over there they call it
the Popular University, and the per-
sons who are taking advantage of the
new opportunities are the working peo-
pie of both sexes and of the lower and
middle classes. 1t was not until 1900
that this movement was started, but
already Paris has twenty of the popular
universities and there are nearly twice
that number in the provinces A new
movement of this sort always has a
leader, and the originator of the present
praiseworthy enterprise in France is
George Deherme, former typesetter
and self-taught man. Members of the
Paris University and prominent literary
men have given it cordial support, and
scores of professors are lecturing in the
recently established Peoples Universities
or "People's Houses" as they are some
times called. Almost all fields of
knowledge, including politics, econom-
les, medicine, hygiene, architecture,
astronomy, and chemistry, are covered
by the courses given. The universities
have associate members who pay so a
year, while the workingmen pay only
the small sum of 10 cents week to
enjoy the advantages afforded. 1t is
believed that one of the great benefits
Of this sudden progress in popular edu-
cation in France will be to obliterate
at least partially the class lines and to
greatly strengthen the republic.

ton for said salaries and expenses, said,
with fervor:
eff the republican party of this
country is pledged to any one thing more
than another, it is the maintenance of
the civil service law and it's efficient
execution. The law that stands upon
our statute book today was put there by
republican votes. 1t was a republican
measure. Every national platform of
the republican party since it's enactment
has declared not only in favor of it's
continuance in full vigor, but in favor of
it's enlargement so as to apply more
generally to the public service.
For four years under democratic
administration nobody on this side of
the house had the temerity to rise in his
place and make a motion similar to the
one now pending for the notification of
this law. We thought it was good then,
good enough for democratic admins
tration, and I say to my republican
associates it is good enough for repub-
lican administration. Mr..
Chairman, the republican party must
take no backward step. The merit
system is here, and it is here to stay, and
we may just as well understand and
accept it now and give our attention to
correcting abuses, if any exist, and i'm
proving the law whenever it can be done
to the advantage Of the public service" I"
By what perversion Of language or
gloss of comment can it be made to
appear that Mr.. Rodenberg's elevation
to the commissionership squares with
the republican doctrine, which the
president himself so eloquently and so
forcibly applied and defended in the
foregoing extract?-Philadelphia Public
Ledger.
The Conservative, 1901-04-04

Rodenberg idea of practical politics.
The reform needs friends, not enemies,
in it's chief administrative officers. The
civil service commissioners, and Pen
sion Commissioner Evans likewise, have
justified their appointments by execut-
ing laws, rules and regulations. The
civil service commission have, there
fore, incurred the inveterate dislike of
the most relentless and malignant of
all "good haters," the disappointed and
disqualified place-hunters. There is
good ground for the belief that Roden-
berg will eventually become the head of
the commission. In the assault of the
spoilsmen upon the civil service regula-
tions the securing of the appointment
of one of their kind to the defence of
the citadel; probably later to its chief
command, is master stroke Of strategy.
The republican party stands pledged
to the preservation of the civil service
laws and to the maintenance of the
deficiency of civil service rules" The
appointment of Rodenberg flies in the
face of this doctrine 1t is totally ire
concilable with the presidents own
record when, as member of congress,
he took position with respect to an
appropriation for the salaries and ex-
penses of the commission diametrically
in opposition to that taken by Rodenberg
year ago. On April "a, 1890, Mr.. Nc
Kinley, in speaking on a motion made
in the house to strike out the appropria-
