SEA BATHING.

In a recent address to the State Med
ical Association of Connecticut the pres
ident, DR.. John II. Grants, made some
timely remarks about sea-bathing. He
said that there was popular impression
that sea-ba thing was panacea for all
ills; that people from the interior are
particularly convinced of it and prac-
tice it very freely in their outings at the
watering places. But from his personal
observations he is convinced that sea-
bathing is over-estimated as a benefit,
or rather that it is over done. IT am
accustomed to saying he concludes,
that for the average child or adult the
maximum of benefit is obtained by not
more than half an hour a week. five
minutes every day or ten minutes on
alternate days; and, further If after
thorough rubbing there remains feel
ing of lassitude, an inclination to lie
down or the desire for stimulant the
time must be shortened to that point at
which after the bath the bathcr exhibits
a full reaction or a desire to resume his
play or occupation Immediately
There is good sense in this A plunge
it IS more or less shocking to most pco-
pie, especially to those of a delicate con-
stitution or a -.lghly nervous tempera-
ment Such persons who remain in the
water for considerable length of time

New-York tribune., 1902-03-19
ART'S APPEAL.

II the tariff on art IS ever to be repealed or
substantially modified. advocates Of the reform
must be tireless in their efforts TO promote it.
Our artists happily realize this Although they
are asked in some quarters to in the pres
ent statute measure of protection for them
selves, they well know that they do not need ii,
that, in fact they would be better off without
it; and there could be no better argument
against its retention than their readiness to
enter the fray again and again despite all dis
couragement. We print Oh another page to-day
some further professional contributions to the
discussion. which only serve 10 strengthen the
points made in the admirable statement signed
by number Of representative artists, which
printed in The Tribune a short time ago.
1t is difficult to understand the Indifference OF
legislators to the arguments advanced in favor
of a liberal readjustment of this question That
the tax art renders no earthly service to our
painters is plain as the proverbial piEestaff.
As Mr.. Blum remarks. 'OuT people like AmeTl-
can pictures or they don't like them; and, TO
quote another contributor TO our symposium,
Mr.. Kenyon Cox, at is not possible TO force the
purchase of native works by prohibiting the
purchase of foreign works of art" Indeed as
we have always maintained in these columns,
and as is once more emphasized by the artists
themselves there is nothing better calculated to
educate the public taste aIsa thereby foster ap-
probation OF native work than the presence
here of masterpieces of the past. Even If the
question of revenue We're important, and it is
admitted that the tariff art makes no really
serious addition TO the national income the edu
cational issue involved is great to Justify
a heavy sacrifice. 1t seems an extraordinary
thing that at a time when millions are being
freely spent in one way or another for the in
tellectual interests of the country, art alone one
of the most potential forces of civilization,
should be subjected to humiliation and persist
emily handicapped. But we do not share the
pessimism which is not unnaturally produced
sometimes among workers for the cause by the
rebuffs they suffer. The reform is bound to
come, for public opinion is being enlisted more
and more on its side, and that is force which
in the long run is Irresistible.

Those who want TO read Of all the beautiful
names under which various firms at home and
abroad sell their beef and pork will find the list
in the report. Possibly the excuse that beef
and pork fats are proper part of an ordinary
pate will hold good, but there can be no excuse
for them in phte de fOie gras, and it is proper
to note that this preparation sold under the
brands Of the Cunningham x De Fourier Com
pany, AmieuX Freres L. \. Price Gabriel Triat
& Co. are made up with beef or pork. 1t
would be impossible to give in this place a full
list of authorizations, but a few amusing mis-
nomers are recalled. The wild bOar's head put
up by Harry Peck instead of containing,
might be expected. tame pig, reveals beef under
the microscope while the FrancO-American
made up with beef, and the Armour Packing
Company's chicken tamale contains both beef
and pork 1t is also interesting to find the name
of the National Pure Food Company on sausages
containing boric acid.
Probably few of the adulterations noted
seriously harmful. Possibly in some cases the
mixtures and even the chemical preservativeS
may be necessary to get flavor or color or other
wise meet popular taste. If So labels should be
made to conform to the facts. A standard
should be set up to which manufacturers would
have to conform. Let the conventional MKT
ures be understood for what they are, and com
pei goods represented as true to a specific label

LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE.

In voting against the canal Improvement BILL
which uassed the Senate yesterday, Senator
Raiues said that lie should refuse to vote for
"auy measure which would put the Democratic
party in control Of State affairs next fall as
this canal proposition would surely do" Mr.
Raines doubtless sincerely believes that the mel
ancholy result which be predicts would follow
the passage Of the bill against which he record
ed his protest yesterday, but it is somewhat
difficult 10 see why he takes that view of the
matter If the legislature should put heavy
burden on the taxpayers even 10 serve the best
ends. without giving them chance to give or
refuse their consent. there might be no absurd
ity il arguing that they would disapprove the
action OF their representatives at Albany and

MR. LNDENTHAL'S BALLOT.

There are at least two good reasons why
Commissioner Lindenthal should not have tried
to secure vote from the patrons Of the bridge
on the question Of routes To Brooklyn. The
first is that It was entirely unnecessary. Sew
eral weeks ago he came to the conclusion that
II would he wise TO divert traffic 10 the ferries.
The idea was an excellent one. As soon. though.
as the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company evinced
reluctance to comply with his suggestions about
better terminal facilities Mr. Lindenthal became
discouraged. and showed a disposition to aban-
don the project prematurely. Subsequently. with
commendable good sense and public spirit he
renewed his efforts in that direction, although
not exhibiting special energy or firmness. In
asmuch the Rapid Transit Company had IA
vors 10 ask of him. Mr. LindenthaI was in a
position TO dictate terms. He seems TO have neg
lected an excellentO however. 1t looks
indeed, as if he were allowing himself to be out
witted in the negotiations An appeal to the
public for Endorsement at this juncture implied
a doubt the Commissioners part as 10 the
correctness OF his original policy, and also of
his power to compel the Rapid Transit Com
pany to adopt It. On neither Of these points
should there be the slightest uncertainty in his
mind, nor the minds of the managers of the
street railway company Mr.. Llndenthal should
concentrate his attention and labor on the
scheme, and fight it out on that line. If 1t takes
all summer" 70 betray hesitation was grave
mistake.
1t is not only needless but it Is impossible
also, 10 secure such an expression Of popular
opinion as the Commissioner wants. 1t was
easy TO foresee from the outset that the plan
would prove failure. The particular class OF
passengers from whom 1t was desirable to hear
are those who cross during rush hours" But
in so great a hurry are the majority of them
that they could not have been persuaded to vote
even If courteous request had been made
through the newspapers, and though the boxes
had been properly labelled. Mr. LindenthaI will
be no wiser in consequence of this venture than
he was before, and in the mean time he has
impaired his influence TO a lamentabIe extent

Gaertner conducted the tone poem which he heard
