THE FIGHT FOR FREE ART.

The hill which Congressman Lowering, of
Massachusetts. has agreed to introduce in the
House of Representatives this winter. bill
nroviding for the free importation Of works OF
art created fifty years prior TO the date OF their
entry into this country, marks an important
step in the long and strenuous campaign Tor the
abolition of deplOrable feature OF our tarH
system This latest effort should prove con-
elusive 1t is being made with judgment and
authority along practical lines, the good will of
all the artists and connoisseurs in the country is
behind it. and. furthermore we believe that
wide and unremitting discussion of the subject
has had A beneficial effect upon public opinion.
IN the numerous editorials on the necessity for
this reform which have appeared in The Trib-
une emphasis has always been placed upon
the educational issue involved. This crucial
point is illustrated again and again in the in
torviews with prominent painters and scuiptors
which have been printed in our columns within
the last few days.
A favorite argument of those opposing the lib
Grafton of art from its present humiating
status at our ports is that tax excludes trash.
In the first place it does nothing of the sort and
never will do anything Of the sort. Trash will
always remain popular in certain quarters, and
prove a profitable investment TO those who i'm
port it, no matter what the duty upon it may
capable of liking anything else is not to be
forced, by being deprived of it. into buying good
work Of native origin. But in any case the sig
nificance of trash in this matter is of no mo-
ment. What is of moment is the exclusion of
really valuable works OF art. 1t is common
knowledge that at the present time large num-
bers of precious paintings and objects of art
owned by wealthy Americans remain In London
or on the Continent. in storehouses or in private
galleries, for other reason tnan that the ex-
listing tariff makes their importation an alto
gether excessive hardship. 1t is easy TO say
that the man who can afford to buy a master
piece afford 10 pay heavy duty on IL but
we would point out that there is limit to hui
man patience and that there is such thing as
public decency. 1t is discourteous as well as
ungrateful to make a citizen pay through the
nose for the privilege OF bringing into the coun-
try an object destined, in nine cases out of ten
10 pass into the keeping OF public institution,
If not In one generation. then in the next. Our
art museums are often enriched by gifts of val
uahle paintings and other similar property, and
their salutary influence upon the public is
thereby steadily increased. But their educa-
tonal value. great it is now would become
greater it, by the dropping of the duty on art,
Hleir resources were stl further strengthened.

DIR. LORENZ'S METHODS.

In estimating the value of DR.. LoTenzs CON
tribution 10 surgical practice one should re-
member that up to fifteen or twenty years ago
no satisfactory way had been found for treat
ing congenital dislocation of the hips. One OF
the first suggestions for correcting this de-
formity came from Boston in 1887. Buckmin-
ster Brown then reported a case of exceptional
interest. BY what appear to nave been ploou-
less methods he effected restoration OF the
leg to place and function, but it took thirteen
months to accomplish that object. Hoffas OPP

it. Lorenz. on the other hand. so developed the
details of the requisite manipulation ten years
ago as to insure many recoveres- 1he large
Droportion of these is due in some measure, of
course to his discovery that it was wise to try
the bloodess method only with young children
Still even that revelation is Of value. 1t has
also been observed that when cutting is neces

system promotes the desired result On the
whole then the Austrian must be regarded as
the true author of the methods which he now
pursues
4 beautiful feature of the Vienna specialist $
visit to America is the spirit which he EXHIBITS
toward his professional brethren. Long prac-
tice, concentration of effort and perhaps un-
usual gifts have made him more expert In con-
ducting this operation than any one else. nut
he shows no disposition to make the art
monopoly. Everywhere that he goes he gives
public demonstrations of his procedure he
shows others how TO do what he does. Thus
he indirectly conveys the benefits of his system
to scores OF sufferers who cannot enjoy his
direct ministrations incidentally. his fellow
surgeons are helped. but the chief good done
by his clinics is to the public. The highest type
of healer is he who untes benevolence TO sclen-
tific skill The unselfishness here displayed is
bv no means unique. DR.. Lorenz is not the
only inventor of a new operation who has re-
veaed its mysteries TO the world. But it is TO
be wished that his example were more generally
followed

An effort is to be made this season
to secure the adoption by Congress of
some measure looking to good roads.
Our Legislators are to be urged to APP
propriate for experimental work, in
aid of road building, instead of giving
all the spare funds in the Treasury
for the improvement of navigation of
creeks and wet-weather streams
which nature never intended for even
a row-boat. If the Pennsylvania and
Baltimore & Ohio railroads could be
persuaded that they should pay for
their own improvements at Washing
ton, instead of drawing upon the
Treasury for few millions, the mon
ey saved would build more than 1000
miles of first class permanent wagon
roads in different states.
