The immigration of the Old Master,

The Immigration or the Old Masters.
In some respects the sale Of Mr.. EHB-
ICH's pictures tomorrow evening will be
the most notable and important that
we have ever known in this city-nota-
BILE in the imperishable regulations Of the
artists whose undying names it includes,
and both important and memorable in
the conditions under which the pictures
are offered to the public.
Never before, as far as we know, has
a collection Of the works Of the old mas
tiers, or for the matter Of that a collec-
ton Of any masters old or new, been put
up here at public sale with such a sinRu-
lar but unimpeachsble guarantee Of
their quality. Every purchaser is TO
receive an unequivocal instrument in
the shape Of a card assuring him that
the picture is IAN original, not a copy;
that it was painted in the epoch in which
il Is placed; that it is, at least, Char
acteristic and worthy Of the artist to
whom it is attributed, and that should
the same within a year be disputed by
competent authority the money paid for
Il will be returned to the purchaser less a
deduction at the rate Of per cent. per
annum, a trivial and indeed wholly negll-
gible consideration.
Surely, there never before was a sale Of
old masters in this town, or a sale Of
anything which 90 commended itself TO
the general confidence and admiration.
Great names are mostly inseparable from
great works Of art, and vice vera, and
great prices only can command both.
That the public, therefore, viii compete
in enormous sums for these pictures
there can be no manner Of doubt, since
the only vital question involved is the
solidity and impregnabihty Of Mr.. En-
IoH's guarantee Of the vorthlnsas ofoaoh

La Toilette and the National Com.
mittee,

/
Governor and United States Senator
elect ROBERT MARION LA TOILETTE Of
Wisconsin expects and intends 10 be the
nominee Of the Republican party for
President in 1905, but he is not both
ering his head about the Craftsmanship
Of the Republican national committee,
as a number Of other eminent aspirants
for that high honor are Mr.. La Fol-
LETTE does not seem to be alarmed even
by the Hon. GEORGE BRUCE CONTIGUOUS
selection OF the Hon. JOSEPH WEEKS
BABCocK as Wisconsin's representative
in the committee.
Mr.. LA FoLLETTE'S refusal to become
excited over the question Of who should
run the national committee was not
unnatural. Rather, the extreme impor-
lance which Vice-President CHARLES
WARREN FAIRBANKS and the others who,
like him, hope to receive the nomination
attached to the persona Of Mr. CoRTEL-
YoU's successor was cause for wonder
How can the national committee or its
chairman influence the members Of the
nominating convention in their choice
OF a candidate three years hence?
In 1904 President ROOSEVELT would
not have been nominated II the selection
had been left to the national committee.
That body Of heroes was opposed to him
and made no secret Of the fact. Mr.
ROOSEVELT knew it, and regardless of
their dignity and their wrath he banged
the committeemen's heads together until
they saw stars. In the end they did
everything he asked, even to the cleo
ton Of Mr.. CoRTELYoU as chairman to
which a majority of them was opposed.
This same national committee ex-
Guided Governor LA TOILETTE and his
delegates from the national convention.
After the convention the committee con-
fided the management Of the Wisconsin
campaign to the hands Of the Hon. john
Corr SPooNER and his friends. Chairman
CoRTELYoU was at the head Of the COM
mittee when this was done. Money,
speakers, lteratWe-all the campaign
materials we're TO be intrusted TO "the
Federal crowd The La Toilette faction
was TO be ignored. 1t was ignored during
the summer, but when the real canvass
began Governor LA TOILETTE, with the
voters Of the party behind him, demanded
recognition from the committee, and got
it in short order.
Why, then, should he, or any other
substantial candidate for party honors,
trouble his noddle about the man at the
head Of the committee, or, for that mat
ter, about the makeup Of the committee
itself? Mr.. ROOSEVELT and Mr.. LA Fol-
LRTIB have both won important vic
tories in the face d its opposition TO them.
Mr.. Ia TOILETTE has never had mem-
Der Of his own faction as committeeman
from Wisconsin, and yet his political
career has not received a serious check.
II he is nominated for President he will
name the captain to prosecute his cam
paign. II he is strong enough with the
voters TO get the nomination in the con-
vention the chairman, the secretary,
the treasurer and all the ffty-four mem
bers OF the national committee can't
stop him.
Which Is also true Of the Hon. CHARLES
WARREN FAIRBANKS Of Indiana, the
tallest aspirant for the Presidential nom
ination now before the people.

The Rev. W. Everett johnson, rector
OF the Episcopal Church Of the Reedeemer
in Harlem, has offered the occasional use
Of tho church 10 the members of his con-
greRation who object 20 his High Church
way Of conducting the services The
Low Church faction, II they accept the
offeT, are to secure a clergyman Of their
own persuasion. Such a man can be hired
for SO Sunday, DR.. johnson says.
In his letter. which is printed in the cur
rent number Of the AdveHi, the parish
publication, DR.. johnson says there are
more than 1900 Episco palians in his parish
who are not true to their VOWS as COM
municants, because they fail TO attend
church and TO participate in the communion
service. The only excuse offered is that
the services are too High. The rector
says he Is not willing to accept the respon-
sibility Of keeping such q large number
away from church.
"You can easily join together, the rector
continues, "and secure a clergyman who

The mere fact that no important or

collection has any weight whatever, or
could in any other circumstances and
conditions than those which attend this
extraordinary sale be looked upon as
anything short OF imaginative, Is Of no
consequence. It fades into insignif-
