Monuments and PedeStalS.

Another disagreement has arisen
between citizens interested in the
erection of a monument in the Dis
trict of Columbia and sculptors con
eerned TO have the memorial of the
highest possible artistic value. 1T
is not needful now TO disclose the
details of this particular contro-
versy. Today it is chiefly TO be
noted as emphasizing two things
/. The advantage of having every
memorial which is 10 stand in a
public place a unified and consistent
artistic creation.
?. The need for a commission
which shall exclude from spaces un-
der the control of the National Gov
ernment every proposed monument
which does not conform with that
standard.
Washington is already half full of
bad art. Some of its testimonials
of stone and bronze to deceased
statesmen would give the rawest
student artistic nausea. Some are
remarkable for excellent figures and
equally remarkable for execrabIe
pedestals. Some few are so badly
placed that the man on the street
cannot determine whether they are
good or bad. # steps are not taken
TO safeguard the compositions of
the future the National Capital will
be artistiealIy as badly off as the
field of Gettysburg.
Careful. thorough. and practical
means have been proposed to pre-
vent the erection of-any new of
fenses against art. They are cover
ed in bill introduced at the last
session of Congress under the
guardianship of the National So
ciety of the Fine Arts for the crea-
tion of a national art commission.
If that proposed legislation shall be-
come law. a committee of practical
and sensible men of wide business
and thorough artistic
training viii pass upon the design
Of every monument to the erection
Of which the National Government /
contributes.
That bill should become law with |
out a days unnecessary delay. 1t /
should be so phrased as to cover the |
erection Of monuments already al /
lotted space IN the parks of the Dis |
trict of Columbia. but not vet in 1
position. II would be well if it /
were empowered to go about our |
parks with ropes and axes and raze /
some of those which are already up. /
But IL should surely be at work be-
tore a single new figure, however
artistic in itself, can be mounted (
IN another Inappropriate and in
artistic pedestal.

WANTED THE RECEIPT.

A very aggressive and highly success
ful crusade in favor of temperance has
recently been going on in a certain
Scottish city, and a young minister.
whose eiOquence is marred only by the
unfortunate remarks he sometimes
makes has persuaded several heavy
drinkers to enter the temperance fold
Meeting one of his converts one after
noon he stopped him and inquired how
he was getting along. The man kent
well back and the minister's suspicious
were aroused
"Ah. Robert" said the reverend gen
ueman, sadly, I'm afraid you've been
drinking. I can smell 1t in your
breath"
Robert didn't deny the Impeachment
in fact he couldn't-and Just remained
speechless his eyes fixed on the ground
in front of him
Now, Robert" continued the minis
ter, you never smell the odor of liquor
I'm my breath"
No, sir. / never did" was Roberts
reply; then. IN most anxious tone of
voice he added:
