The Vista on the Mall.
The Senate Proves It's Possession of a
Sense of Beauty.

Victory, to use a somewhat trite
but stately phrase, perches upon the
banner Of Senator Newlands of Ne
vada. He introduced bill to estab-
lish vista $50 feet in width on the
Mall from the Capitol to the Monu-
ment, to meet the plans of the Sen
ate Park Commission. Architects in
all parts of the country are interested
in this bill. and in the preservation
Of the Mall. The Senate yesterday
passed it.
Senator Newlands is happy. and
well he may be; for he has fought a
battle for a purely esthetic measure.
and has won. 1t is not as common as
ii ought to be in this country for leg
is!ators to take a serious interest in
the preservation of the beautiful. The
New York assembly could have
stopped the destruction of the Pail
sades, and the DETACHMENT of the sur
rOundings Of Niagara by huge bill
boards, but their sense OF beauty was
not educated enough for that. The
artistic sense Of Congress has not al
ways been equal to the needs of the
District Of Columbia, and the Senator
or Congressman who ventures to ad-
vance a bill founded on purely es-
thetic reasons may still be somewhat
dubious of its Successive are such

we are; so ready to pay large for
tunes for gingerbread work in all de-
partments Of art, so doubtful Of the
wisdom OF finding out what real
beauty is. But this time the venture
was successful, and Washington win
oe so much the more beautiful.

Bebmd With His NeBS.

Col Bill Sterrett, of Texas, struck
town this morning. An old newspaper
friend met him on the avenue Just as
he had blown in. He wore a grip. coal
dust ana other symptoms OF travel.
Just struck town" said the colonel.
Il lit a runnin' like a wild turkey. Now
I'm looking for a place TO roost.''
The ad"eat OF Colonel Bill has revived
some OF the innumerable anecdotes re-
hting to him. one Of these concerns a
time some years ago when the colonel,
with several friends. including some
newspaper men and Judge Harmon, then
Attorney General, went up the Potomac

Bill walked two miles to a telegraph
station and sent a long dispatch down

about the appointment Then he went

if any enterprising counterfeiter
wants to try the scheme. outlined in
this editorial, he needs to begin soon;
first, because he will be able TO buy
only such objects as are already en-
scOnced in the homes of purchasers
who can be induced to part with them,
and second, that it will take him all
the rest of his life to make a thousand
dollars by this process, unless he lives
to be a nOnagenarian and has his
health to the end. Still, Secretary
Shaw's action conduces to the i'm
prOvement of our standards of taste.
