is all over whether the pump wants to
acknowledge the fact or not. 1t ought
to be abolished. In time it will be and
Mr. Roosevelt will not get the credit Of
the reform.-Chicago Chronicle.
The above indicates to what desper-
ate straits the opposition press Is
driven in Its frantic desire to attack
President Roosevelt. The Democratic
editor has a mission and he must per-
eorm il at any cost. But how easy it
is to imagine what the Democratic pa
pers would have said had handshakins
been abolished at the great public re-
ception in question. Afraid Of per-
sonal injury" Public not permitted
to approach the imperial monarch."
The people will be required to kneel
at the next reception" "Other presi-
dents have extended the hand of a
friend to the common people," 'The
throne will soon be installed in the
east room!" THE last relic of democ-
racy abolished by the arrogant and
naughty rough rider who scorns to
touch the hands of the dirty populace!"
These are fair samples of what would
have appeared in our Democratic con-
| temporaries had President Roosevelt
declined to shake hands with the pub
lie at his reception. But he didn't de-
cline. and SO the President has to be
assailed from the other direction. It Is
all one to the partisan vivisectionist.
And no one enjoys the humor of the
situation more than Theodore Roose-
welt.

Lubec according to men high up in
the sardine business, is the banner
town of Maine. and, in fact. of the en-
tire United States in the number O.
cases of sardines packed in 1901. That
tremendous business was done in this
branch of manufactures was believed
by all living in Lubec. but that this
time had packed more of the American
sardines than did Eastport was doubt
ed. However. figures and statistics
would seem to prove that Lubec leads
her sister town by $1,000 cases. The
entire pack in Lubec was, during 1901,
456,OOo cases. Eastport's pack being
100000 cases.

HONORING 4 HERO.

It is proposed that the British Empire snall
nav itself belated honor In COMMUNICATING
the ia me of one of its most extraordinary heroes
Nom!nally il is to honor the memory OF 'oun
>-,oboIson nv the erection of a monument 10
him in The gardens which bear his name, close
bv the wall of Delhi The propriety of doing
so is beyond all question. But. as we have salu'
the honor conveyed will be more subjective than
objective 1t will be an honor TO the BRUSH
Empire TO show that It appreciates the services
and the memory of Nicholson NO work OF heI
hands can add honor 10 the name of that superb
and ,njoue bero-above all others the savior of
civilization in India
The grandest man under whom / have ever
served" is Lord Roberts's estimate of him. II
means much. from such man, after such
career That it is exaggerated is as impossible
as that il is insncere. The testimony of his
torv and of common consent confirms it; and
that not only OF NichoSon's fellow countrymen.
hI,t also that of the aliens among whom he lived
and fought and died. Heroes Of classic an
tiouity were now and then apotheosized ana
worshipped as gods. generally after death we
know of none but Nicholson who had that dls-
tinction in the nineteenth century, and who had
it not only after death but in life. and despite
the fact that he forbade it and strenuousiy
strove TO suppress it by logging every meu,ber
of the ''Nikkul-Seynee' sect he could lay hands
upon. That he should thus have been adored,
in both life and death. is a fact which may *
cite the wonder of many, and the scorn-for the
worshippers-of some. but which must com
mand the admiration Of all.
The world is not poor in heroes. The EhGiSh
speaking race has its full share Of them But
neither the world this race is so rich In
them that it can afford TO neglect the memory
Of a single one. Washington at Trenton.
Nicholson at Delhi Thomas at Chickamauga
and Gordon at Khartoum are names and some
thing more than names. the possession Of which
is for the everlasting enrichment Of humanity
The intrinsic value Of gold or gem is the same,
whether we guard ii in treasury or cast il by
the wayside. But the value Of II TO us depends
entirely upon our use of it. That is why it is so
well that every possible aid to memory and TO
reflection should be raised In the name of each
heroic man.

OTR LAND OF LAKES

II would be interesting TO know how many
Inhabitants of New-York City realize what
vondrous land of lakes lies at their very doors-
They talk the read and travelled ones OF the
lakes of Killarney. of the Lake Country WHICH
Wordsworth and Ruskin loved, OF Loch Natrlhe
and other gems of the Scottish Highlands, OF
tbe lakes of Switzerland. and of the Land OF
q Thousand Lakes" They grow enthusiastic
over the lakes of our own North w oods, OF lhe
Lake of the Holy Sacrament, and OF the Hquid
mirrors among the White Hills and IN The WOODS
of Maine But how many have thought that
ono of the most numerous and most beautiful
clusters of lakes in all the world lies WITHIN all
hours ride of this city's northern border:
For number these lakes are bewllderlng. III
Westchester County there are at least two dozen
large enough to have place and name upon the
man: in little Putnam County there are two
dozen more. and in the adjacent part OF
Dutrhpss County there are half dozen. Ihus
there are more than fifty lakes grouped within
a small area in what we may properly call the
suhurhs of Nev-York Where is there another
capital that can boast such an array! Nor Is
their beauty inferior TO their number. one
must travel far to find a more perfect bowl or
emerald filled with liquid sapphire than the
third lake at Waccabuc; or lake with ioveller
vistas amid wooded islets and shores OF forest
laden cliffs than Mahopac; or a more brilliant
mirror than Gead, liz its hill top Isolation Inc
acres of lilies on Mohansic, the wooded drlVes
at Mohegan the mirroring of rugged hills at
Byram. and the serene perspectiyes through the
highland gateways at Carmel. would inspire the
pen of poet and brush Of painter were they
thousand miles away instead OF close at hand
It is time for New-Yorkers to appreciate the
beauties of this fairyland OF lakes and hills and
forest which forms the northern suburb OF their
city-to appreciate this Land of Lakes and to
enjoy It. Happily, a considerable number or
these lakes will be forever exempted from
spollation, being as they are, part of the water
supply system of New-York, and these are now
largely girt with reasonably good roads con-
structed by the city, making them easily access
ible. Even those roads, however, are suscept-
ible OF Improvement. while nearly all others In
that region are much in need of it. With good
roads forming a network over those three coun-
ties leading to and around the lakes. should
have there region which for permanent resi-
dence or for occasional visiting would have few
rivals IN beauty in all the world

NEWYoRK DAILY TRIBUNE SUNDAY. AUGUST "A. 1902.

In this school, as Mr. Eastlake says connois-
seurship soon came to be regarded lin the light
of an exact SCIENCE which it most emphatically
is not and never can be. The artistic quails
cor manifest defects of picture were weiihlsn
.'forgotten in endless discussion respecting its
presumed authorship The catalogues of all
the European galleries were light-heartedly dis
credited New attributions flew around like
snowfakes in December. Newly fedged critics
detected in the curve of an eyebrow or the
proportions of thumb all-sufflcient evidence
that a picture popularity ascribed to beliinl
.'sbould be assigned to Mantegna, or vice
versa" They are at it yet.
The bland sef-aSsurance with which MI
Berenson, for example. will settle the author-
ship of an old painting; the pontifcal air with
which he tells you exactly what is right anu
what is wrong about the productions OF GER
.tain great Florentine and Venetian masters,
is only euualled by the sublime dogmatism oil
his innumerable followers. He himself mas
come to see something Of the error OF his ways
as the preface to his last volume clearly shows.
But he is still far from realizing-and the toi-
lowers aforesaid are further Off than ne Is
that if connnoisseurship is ever TO do any Dody
any good If must steer clear not only of Ruskin-
ian rbapsody. but of the pragmatic judgments
and tedious conceit which come from too much
reliance on Morellian formuR. 1t must pay
more attention to the intrinsic qualities OF
work of art and keep in an entirely subsidiary
position all those matters which as Mr.. Beren-
son himself says. he now sees are valueiess
sin the life Of the spirit
