ART AND THE PARK BOARD.

| Most people will be disposed to adj
nit that the board of park commits
sioners has done a very wise thing in
determining to secure the services of
an advisory expert or committee of
experts to pass upon the suitability and
artistic merit of any statue. fountain
or other similar work presented to, or
of any permanent structure erected in,
any st. Paul park. Because the park
board has been a trifle slow in arriv-
ing at it's very excellent conclusion, a
little damage has been done perhaps,
but very little. Yet the city doubtless
owes its present fairly artistic park
condition not so much to the fact that
all the statues and fountains offered to
the city have been artistic, but because
there have been so few of these offer
ings.
j. By its own confession the board will
not be able to find expert opinion with
in the confines of this city. 1t says in
its report: Neither the board as a.
body nor any member of its profession
processes to be or is competent to pass
upon the artistic merit of such memo
rails" And again, There are very few
men and women in the state or in the
! Northwest upon whose judgment in
such cases they could rely. There are,
of course, many men and women Of
good taste-of cultivated taste-who
would be quick to see any conspicuous
fault in works of this kind, but their
judgments are far from decisive"
Granted this-and most people will
agree that the board is merely express
ing fact-the natural inference is
that the expert opinion will have to be
sought in the East. There is nothing
particularly humiliating about this con-
fession, We are new out here and those
Of our own who might be qualified to
give expert opinion have sought fields of
opportunity where richer rewards are
to be obtained.
The objection may possibly be made
that even fewer fountains and statues
will be presented to the city in
the future than in the past, that
public-spirited citizens possessing the
wealth but lacking the art instinct NAV
fight shy of the committee of experts.
But better one statue that the public
may safely admire than a dozen the
artistic worth of which is open to dis
cussion. The states newly appoint
ed art commission, which was not re-
ferred to by the board of park COM
missioners but which exists, neverthe-
less. have perhaps a pioneer work to
do in the matter of creating a genuine
art atmosphere in the state, but once
that art sensitiveness is aroused the
general public of the future will owe
the board real debt of gratitude be-
cause of the decision it has come to to
accept hereafter works of art only.

LONDON. Sept. 22-Interest has
been evoked here by a letter from Sec
rotary O'Callahan, of the United Irish
League Of America, to Mr.. Condor M
p, saying that since the passage of the
Irish land act many evicted tenants
now residing in the United States have
been making anxious inquiries regard
ing the possibility of reacquiring their

pressed the belief that should a large
proportion of the inquirers be able to
do so, it would go far towards solving
the question of emigration and turn
the tide back to Ireland.

KEEP HANDS ON MINES.
Outside Investors Seem to Have No
Show in Venezuela.

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, Sept. %.
--Advices received here from Caracas,
Venezuela, state that the official ga
zette has published a government de-
cree suspending the operation of the
mining code for an indefinite period.
This decree will render new acquisi-
tfons of mines in Venezuela impossible.
The reason given is that a clique of
politicians surrounding President Cas-
tro wishes to monopolize all the mines
In the district of Ciudad Bolivar, with
out meeting any competition. They
would afterward sell the mines to for
eign companies. The action of the
government, taken without previous
notice, will cause detriment to the
American mining parties who are now
engaged in surveying several mining
claims in the district of the Orinoco.
