The Fur Trade.

Nearly the whole fur trade Of the
world concentrates itself in the two
cities Of London and Leipsic, but as
about two-thirds Of the London furs,
which are sold at auction, go to Leipsic
the result is that the fur market at
Leipsic is really the greater of the two.
The Leipsic warehouses receive raw
and half prepared furs from Siberia,
European Russia, America, Australia
and China, making the business Of the
fur exchange worth from $15,O0O,O 900 to
$17,0o0,00O yearly.

and the navy. The preparation or young
men for civil life was entirely a differ
ent proposition 80 far as the federal au-
thority was concerned.
But supposing that the endowment OF
a theatre on the European plan was
within the constitutional authority of
Congress, and that II had the DISPOSE
ton to exercise 1t, what sound reason Is
there for the selection of New York as
the beneficiary of its benevolence? Ex-
cept in mere point of population what
claims does 1t possess outweighing those
of half dozen other cities all over the
continent? Why not erect the proposed
temple of the drama in Chicago or Phila-
delphia? Why should St. Louis and Gin
cinnati, San francisco. Baltimore, New
Orleans and Plttsburg be set aside in
favor of that most un-American of all
American cities on the banks of the
Hudson and the shores OF Long Island
Sound? And. then, there is the capital
city itself-one of the most beautiful on
the Washington. There, II
anywhere. is the place for an endowed
theatre, where every senator and rep
resentative, the President and all his
cabinet, could have free admission from
one end of the season to the other The
trouble with a free endowed theatre in
Washington, however, would be that IL
might seriously interfere with the oper-
alton of the lawmaking machinery OF the
government What congressman would
care to attend solemn sessions and lis
ten to sleep-producing speeches with a
pass in his pocket to a matinee. But
persifage aside, the idea OF a nationally
endowed theatre is one of the widest OF
ehimeras.

- He suggestion was made py
some one between two and three
decades ago that, following in
the footsteps OF France ana other Eu-
ropean countries. the United States, for
the encouragement of dramatic art,
should literally endow a national the
atre. This brilliant conception was I'M
folded in one of the New York journals
which enthusiastically commended the
idea, and then, In accordance with the
newspaper precedents of that city turn
ed its interviewers loose upon all who
were willing to talk on the subject The
result was the production of pages and
pages of hearty approval from scores Of
amusement managers, leading actors and
actresses, writer's of successful plays
and legion of others In the same line
whose genius had not yet been discov-
cred by the world and was awaiting on
ly the fostering hand of paternal gov
eminent to obtain for It universal recog-
milton. Then came an end of the exploita-
ton and the chilling silence and indiffer-
ence that are the usual fate of freak
and sensational performances Of this
character. In few years. however,
there came a resurrection of the sug-
gestion, followed by another period Of
interment and oblivion. But permanent
sepulture was out OF the question. Dur

thirds of a generation 1t finds spasmodic

volving years of all the future. This
month, for instance, it finds rehabilita-
ton between the covers of a popular
magazine.
The endowment of a national theatre
is not within the constitutional power
Of the general government, and could
not possibly become so without an
amendment to the fundamental law OF
the republic. From the Gays OF Wash
ington down there has been an almost.
continuous effort to secure the establish
ment of a national university IN the
District of Columbia. The first Presi-
dent was so convinced of the Importance
and necessity of 1t in his day that in
his will he bequeathed a part of his
estate as the nucleus of a fund for its
endowment. In their messages 10 con-
gress many of his successors nave earn
estly advocated the project; educational
bodies almost without number have COM
mended the idea; committees of the ma
Ilonal legislature nave Hlaue ldFordple
reports with respect to 1t, but notwith-
standing all this official ana outside
popular support the insuperable obstacle
has never been overcome, nor is 1t ever
likely to be for the necessity for such
an institution no longer exists. A pre-
cedent for the establishment was sought
to be found in the fact that the govern
ment founded and maintains two great
institutions of learning, one at West
Point and one at Annapolis, but con-
stitutional writers and lawyers were
swift to point out that It was no preced-
ent at ALL for these establishments rest
ed on that clause of the constitution
which imposed on the legislative branch
of the government the duty of providing
''for the public defence" That, of course
was impossible without properly trained
and educated officers for both the army
