The Senate was curiously cold to the
vELr's travels on the Isthmus are illus
trated. The Senate is an excellent body,
but why should 1t treat a matter Of art
and literature 10 a matter of musty
precedents? It is said that certain Sem
ators regard an illustrated message as
-undignifed.' Are photographs undig-
nifed? Did the Senate expect to find
reproductions Of original water color
sketches in the latest Panama message?
Photography is an admitted fine art,
an exceedingly graphic art. 1t is cheap,
popular, the art OF the plain people.
A OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES spelling in a
message might seem -undignified' to
bunker eyes. A photograph is as re-
spectacle as Mr.. FAIRBANKS, as dignifed
if it represents a digniied subject.
A stone crusher has a good deal more
dignity il not more dynamic force than
Mr.. TILLMAN, for example, and a picture
Of it is digniied. The counterfeit pre-
sentiment Of the steam shovel holding a
rock in the Culebra Cut is more than
dignified; it is impressive, and it gives
the reader with no great talent for me-
chanics a more vivid image Of work on
the canal than even Mr.. R~oosEvEIr's
often picturesque and always salient
words can give. Mr.. Justice BREWER

many other intelligent persons have
only the vaguest idea Of the method
by which the dirt is to fly. For them
photographs are not a luxury, but a
necessity. In depriving the readers Of
the Congressional Record Of these and
similar auxiliaries and reenforcements
Of the text the Senate has diminished
the educational value of the message.
Congress tries to restrict itself to the
illustrated edition and forces upon the
people the less instructive and the less
illuminating form.
What we may call the sociological
cuts in tine original edition arc hardly
less instructive than the Culebra and
Bas ObispO cuts. The human interest

more than the engineer. The Married

The Military Rip Van Wrinkle.

When an army officer whose four
decades of continuous service are al
most complete; who has existed nine
years in Arizona, suffered an exile of six
years in Wyoming, Idaho and Montana,
spent four years among the bolos and
assorted fevers of the Philippines, and
who during the remaining twenty years
has been devoted almost entirely to
hard knocks and arduous achievement
when such an officer returns to Washing
ton toward the close Of his career. he
constitutes as near an approach to the
Rip Van Wrinkle Of romance as is possible
in the case of a plain, simple, grizzled,
SCARED and weather beaten old cavalry
man who hasn't touched a souf1e oil a
bunch of lace since he first felt the bud
ding whisker on his chin.
Such things happen very OCCASION
ally, of course; but one such thing is
happening now in Washington. A mill
tary Rip Van Wrinkle, just emerged from
the perilous and tragic penumbra of the
Philippines, revisits the glimpses of the
Of favor, luxury, promotion. A
big, stalwart, potent personality, trained
in hardship, seasoned by wind and rain,
familiar with the outpost and the bivouac,
he stalks the sumptuous ~boulevards,
wanders through the tenderly cared for
corridors of "the department to en-
counter Major-Generals and Brigadiers,
soft handed, exquisite, pampered, some
of whom were yet unborn when he en-
tered the academy at West Point, many
Of whom we're plebes when he was an
alumnus, and few Of whom, save in
some troubled nightmare between Law
ender scented sheets, even so much as
dreamed Of dangers and asperities such
as he has spent his life with. He is only
a Colonel, and even that poor recon-
pense has come to him through an I'M
aided and inevitable evolution; vet all
around him are Major-Generals who
were his Juniors long ago, and a whole
swarm of Brigadiers, some of whom he
doubled on his knee or birched for school
boy negligence or congenital futility, or
who had not yet dried behind the ears
when he was fighting on the frontier and
starving and freezing in the Sierra
Madre. But they all rank him nov
Their pay and allowances make his look
like the remnant of a bankrupt case.
They strut and glitter in illustrious
drawing rooms and fatten on the most
pretentious achievements of the caterer.
Fair women envelop them in dangerous
and sultry contemplation. Who is this
sunburned, frost bitten old veteran that
he should invade the realm Of ecstasy
with his brains and Drawn, his freckles,
sunburn and experience?
We all know that n campaign in
Washington is worth a dozen in the
far of places. One must be sin evil
dence' if he would wear laurel in these
piping times.

Edmund Burke on the suirerings Of the
French Clergy.

From an autocrdph letter rov IN the possession
Of a citizen Of NeV York.
DEAN SIR: ! have Just received a letter
from my friend Mr.. Dowdeswell informing
me, that a desire has been expressed by several
gentlemen not only in the University but
in the County and City Of Oxford. OF con-
tributing to the relief OF the French clergy
suffering a g~revious persecution from the
usurpation of an unexampled, and hitherto
successful combination of all the Impiety.
Crime and baseness. which could be collected
from all parts of the vast country which they
desolate.
, There is no doubt that II these principles
and cabals could be admitted into the Country.
that. first Whaling the morals and altering
the temper and character Of the People,
they would desolate England In the same
manner. Against the possible prevalence Of
such factions and their pernicious maxims.
I look upon the University OF oxford as the
f1rmest bulwark we have. / look upon their
late happy and wise choice Of the Duke OF
Portland. to be q pledge Of their zeal and per-
severance in the same cause: and OF their
disposition both in this present age and
to all posterity to unite the lovers Of the
Church. and Of the Laws. Liberties and Morals
Of the Country. Of all descriptions in opposi-
ton to the system of Atheism. persecution.
s~acrilege and assassination, which prevail
amongst our unhappy neighbours.
l trust that those who subscribe TO the
French Clergy in so doing do not only wish
to act under the general influence of a diff
fusive Christian Charity but would express
their adherence Of the principles Of that
persecution which by stripping these worthy
ecclesiastios. first OF their property. then OF
their liberty. and after slaughtering in a
most inhuman manner vast multitudes Of
them, at last stripped them Of their country
and have at last sent them naked and re-
souroeless to live on the mercy OF strangers.
l have no doubt that you Sir and the persons
who lead in the University and County will
exert your influence In favour of a Charity,
which whilst It chooses the most proper
objects for succour does so much honour
to the Nation which casting aside the narrow
spirit OF sect and long national rivalry ex-
erts the common principles Of honour. hos
pitality, Religion and humanity. l have
the honour to be with the greatest Esteem
and respect. DR.. Sir
