Portraits BY Wmam ~. Chase ~ Kneedier's
GALLERY.

RoftfoIve Dy " uuom ~. NNuse ~ huOeShcs
GALLERY.
The twenty portraits which Mr.. Chase Is
showing at Knoedler's Gallery. viii not
add to his reputation. and only few OF
than will sustain Il.
One Of the things In which he has always
exoelled 10 the delineation OF childhood.
It Is In this direction and In the painting
Of still life that he appears most sympa-
thetic. Here Is q portrait OF Roland
healthy baby with bright eyes and lips
apart, clutching . red apple. Nothing
could be fresher and more spontaneous
than this expression Of young life; 1t has
been rendered both with affection and with
a sense Of humor. Much OF the same charm
Ia apparent In Master Robert a picture,
one may believe. that win captivate .
hundred years hence, because It's character
ization 10 % vital.
But 1t In just In this respect that some OF
his portraits OF older people fail. Certainly
not that Of Mrs. Chase. In this there Ii an
intimacy OF feeling. a. well a. very fasci-
mating treatment Of the costume. But
cannot discover q similar comprehension
Of the personality In the portrait Of Miss
Johnson Her costume Of white lace
over q Nile-green skirt and the old rose
cloak which hangs gracefully from the
shoulders are rendered with that feeling
for still life and dexterity Of technique
that one expects, but the face Is sadly un-
suggestive. The beauty which II has Is
the beauty OF the lady herself, such as
would be obvious TO the most unpractised
eye; one finds In its portrayal little or no
trace Of the artistic vision. or rather OF the
artistic Imagination TO which such a face
should have given ample Indictment: It's
rendering Ia tamely unimaginative, l had
almost said perfunctory.
Even more 80 In the characterization OF
Miss Bellamy,' Of the Rev. DR.. William
NJ. Irvine Of Samuel 7. Peters and OF
Mrs George H. Earle, Jr." ! doubt II
these portraits will stir any human interest
IN the minds Of people who do not know
the originals. Such knowledge, no doubt,
would re nforce these presentments and
give them the reality OF suggestion which
independently they lack.
Tho fact Ii after q certain period OF life
q mans development, even II he be painter.
has to be Q mental one. The quickness
OF observation and freshness Of Imagination
are apt to become duller, the manual dex-
terity may tire or grow too merely ha-
bitual. Except In the maturity Of the mind,
there 10 little chance OF these accessory
qualities retaining their early valuable
ness. In these later works OF Mr.. Chases
one discovers too much reliance upon the
handicraftsmanship. too little upon the
conscious use Of mental experiences.

Landscapes by Prof. kari He~ner ~ the

The bill to erect In Richmond . statue
Of JOHN BROWN for being instrumental
In Kidding the United States Of the curse Of
human slavery introduced by Mr.. WEnKs
Of Michigan. died with the last Congress.
but 1t remains proper subject Of comment
1t must have originated In the common
human impulse to undo what 10 done and 70
contradict to-day the conclusions Of yestsr-
day. JOHN Brown was hanged for re-
bellion against the State of Virginia. For
the Government now to erect statue to
him would be to sanction rebellion and
repudiate it's own Constitutional relations
TO a member OF the Union.

This Ia an increase OF about STA ,000, 900
over the total Of the preceding Congress;
apparently O tremendous increment.
Its significance is diminished, however,
by the fact that the direct appropriation
for the isthmian canal, $50, 1870 900, swells
the aggregate charged to the Fifty
seventh. The increased demands Of the
postal service, TO DO Offset during the
year by increased revenues, are offered
by Senator ALLISON in explanation OF
SIS, 900 900 more Of the STA ,0O0,OOo This
accounts for all but about $4,000, 900 OF
that tremendous increase.
On the other hand, 1t must be remem-
bered that the cessation OF military
operations in the Philippines has oc-
Cured meanwhile. The Fifty-sixth
Congress had to vote 500 900 900 moro for
the army than the Ffty-seventh has
appropriated. This saving on the army
item has disappeared in rivers and har-
bors public buildings and miscellaneous
appropriations, 80 that the net result Is
that the Fifty-setenth Congress has been
about so, 900 900 more extravagant than
the Fifty-sixth was. in matters where
economy was possible.
Mr.. CANNoN's figures and manner Of
statement agree so nearly with Senator
ALLIsoN's that they may be regarded
as identical.
Not so with the table prepared by the
Hon. LEoNIDAs FELIX LIVINGSTON Of
Georgia, the minority leader In the
House Committee on Appropriations.
Mr.. LIVINGSTON compares the Fifty
seventh not with the Fifty-sixth, but with
the last Democratic Congress, the Fifty
third; and to the total Of the last two
sessions he adds the contract obligations
for the future, incurred, according to the
new and vicious fashion, in excess
Of appropriations directly made. This
method Of exhibition produces sensa-
tional results:

The Billion-and-s-HaIf Congress.

The financial operations Of the Fifty
seventh Congress have been reviewed
as usual by three expert specialists, the
chairman Of the Senate Committee on
Finance, the chairman Of the House
Committee on Appropriations, and the
ranking Democratic member OF the last
mentioned committee,
These several statements differ some
what according to the methods OF tabu-

in turn, vary according to the points OF
