When a horse is overworked it
lies down and in other ways declares
its inability to go futher, you would
consider it criminal to use force.
Many a man of humane impulses,
who would not willingly harm a kit

needs is something that will digest

AMERICAN ART.

The Way Men of Means May Promote
Its Advancement.
1t is an encouraging theory that all
important art epOchs have been pre-
ceded by epOchs of great wealth, and
it may well be that the present multi
plicatiOn of large fortunes will be the
foundation of q more ideal condition
of society, affording, as these fortunes
do, the support of extensive artistic
undertakings, as did those of Genoa
and Venice And while it would be in
seGsate folly to fill our museums exclu-
Sively with work by Americans, it is
more and more to be expected that our
artists will profit by the showing they
make in such collections as the COM
parative exhibition of few years ago,
in which they held their own with for
eign masters of the same departments.
The first way, therefore, to help
American art is to buy worthy pictures
by American artists. Our rich men
particularly our new recruits in this
class-should bear in mind that an ex-
hibitiOn of, let us say, the Society Of
American Artists, has as high stand
ard of admittance as the Paris Salon
and is likely to contain less trash, and
that, purely as a matter OF investment,
to urge no higher motive, it pays to
buy the best American work.
Another way for those who wish by
their wealth to add to the pleasure of
their cOuntrymen is to give or beuueath
a portion of it to museum for the en-
enlargement of native art, and to be
Of the highest efficiency such a bene-
faction should be without condition. 1t
is said that in Boston it is not respecta-
BILE to die without making a bequest to
Harvard university or the Museum of
Art. Certainly that city has an envia-
BILE reputation for the unceasing, ever
vigilant civic pride and solidarity that
made Emerson eXclaim of it, Thou
darling town of ours"'-Century.

THE CHINESE BOYCOTT.

The snti-American boycott in China
is growing more serious all the time
according TO reports that are being
ton against American goods Of every
character and against Americans
themselves is spreading throughout the
Celestial empire. 1t is said that the
boycott VIII be continued until all re-
strictions upon the entrance Of Chinese
into the United States have been done
away with. The CeIestiaIs will not be
satisfied with notifications of the ex-
Isting statutes. They will demand
everything.
The problem is a serious one. Our
trade with China has been developed
rapidly during the last few years. We
ship the Chinese hundreds Of thou
sands of barrels of -four, cargoes Of
wheat, bales upon bales of cotton
goods and many other articles. The
total exports from the United States to
China last year aggregated many mill
lions Of dollars We do not want to
lose this trade. It is beneficial to the
entire country to d greater or less ex-
tent.
Neither do we want to throw the
bars down. This is a big country. a
great, rich country, capable of sup
porting several times its present
population. Nevertheless the advo-
Gates of unrestricted Chinese imn1fgra-
ton are very few. The feeling that it
would be unfair to bring in coolies by
thousands to compete with American
labor is quite general. That such COM
petition would follow unrestricted i'm
migration from China is absolutely
certain. The effect would be a cutting
down of wages in many lines of man
ual employment.
The Chinese work for less than
Americans because they are willing to
live on a much cheaper scale. If the
average American workman were COM
PEELED to live as the average Chinese
laborer lives he would feel, and very
properly so, that he was a much
abused man. The Chinese live and
save money on wages that would mean
starvation to an American. If the
prosperity Of this country depended
upon its trade with China it would be
well to give serious consideration to
the proposition to admit the Chinese
without restrictions.
No such condition exists. There
fore, If the Chinese are not willing to
accept reasonable notifications Of
the exclusion law they must be told
that they can take their trade to some
other land.

BUT HE SWUNG HIS LANTERN.

representative John Sharp Williams

counsel for a railway in one of the
southern states, says Success Maya
zine.
It appears that at one point on it's
line the company had stationed an old
negro Waterman whose duties consist

way crossing The tracks when a train
approached. One night a wagon be-
longing to a farmer was struck, result
ing in a bad accident. The company
was, OF course, sued for damages and
at the trial the old darkey was the
principal witness for his employers
He replied to the questions put to him
in a clear, direct fashion. Among these
questions he was asked as to whether
he was sure he had swung his lantern
across the road when he perceived the
train approach. The negro replied:
I shorely did, sah!''
The trial resulted in a verdict for
the company and Mr.. Williams. as
counsel, took early occasion to conpli-

testimony. To which the latter re-

DOWNFALL OF SIMMONS.

The question as to whether or not it
is profitable for a minister Of the
gospel to engage in business or poll
ties at the time he is attempting to
lead his flock in spiritual paths. would
seem TO be answered IN the negative
by the case of the Rev. George H.
Simmons the story Of whose self-de-
struction was told in the DISPATCHES
published the other day. Thanks to
politics and business Simmons found #
easier TO die than to live. Because he
was not willing to devote his entire
time to the great profession to which
he had been called, he dishonored his
cloth and gave the unthfnking an
opportunity to sneer at religion and
religious people.
Simmons was president of two
banking institutions. one of which has
already failed. The other viii weather
the storm only because Simmons was
removed from the presidency the
day before he killed himself The
suicide figured in politics as the cam
palgn manager Of a senatorial oandi-
date, a strange occupation for a minis
ter 1t was this latter that brought
about his downfall The moment he
engaged in politics he was ruined. No
man can go into politics without MAX
ing some enemies. Simmons was no
exception. Friends Of other senatorial
candidates began looking up his rec
ord. 1t is claimed that they found it
to be bad.
Stories affecting the character of
Simmons were made public and Sim
