The inevitable conclusion in my mind,
at least 1t ought to be, IL 1t is not, Is that
these people were brought together to
confer how the money could be raised
to help poor old Mccall out OF the bog
into which he has sunk and refund s14S, 900
which he stole from the ~pollcyholders of
the insurance company and contributed to
the campaign funds of the National Re-
publican Committee. For surely this man
Mccall Is not going to be left In the lurch
and run the risk of bankruptcy or of
being sent to the penitentiary because
of the fact that his love for the Republi-
can party got him into this trouble
He closed as follows: The other day
somebody here made an a~llusion to the
comparison between Andrew jackson and
President Roosevelt. Let us look at it.
Andrew Jackson never put Nicholas
Biddle in his Cabinet. In his light
against the money power. he fought to
the bitter end. He used no blandish-
ments. he used no bludgeon. The Pres
ident had no need for any campaign
fund. but his lieutenants did. Mr.. Bliss
collected 1t. Mr.. Cortelyou spent 1t. Mr..
Cortleyou is in the abine and, as l
said. the trusted friend and attorney of
the money power in New York. Mr.. Elihu
Root acknowledge he is a very bright
and great man. and / admire him. But
AnureW jackson never would nave taken
as a Cabinet officer a man so closely al
lied with Nicholas Biddlc in the national
banks.
Senate's Saving Grace.

try to-day which should make every
thoughtful man pause 70 see whether or
not 1t Is possible that the members Of
the Senate have the saving grace and
patriotism and regard for their obliga
tons of office. the oaths they took. to
take up all these questions relating to
the public welfare. this railway rate
business. this railway discrimination
business. this railway monopoly bust
ness, this destruction of private property
without due process Of law. simply by
denying the right to ship coal and all
that kind of thing"
Mr.. Tillman suggested an amendment
to prevent public carriers from owning
any product or any coal which is to be
shipped over their line, thus relieving
US from this Internal monopoly which
now Expresses the life blood of Pennsyl-
vania in the anthracite region and is
feeding upon the bituminous region of
Pennsylvania and West Virginia and the
Atlantic seaboard generally, by which
they are held up and men compelled
10 pay from one to two dollars a ton or
more than is a Just compensation for
their coal, in order to put more millions
and stolen millions In the pockets of Cas-
satt and his allies"
Mr.. Tillman's resolution was adopted
without division or opposing vote.

whatever came to hand rained down upon
him from the furious people and he per
ished in the midst of the arena He lay
dead, and then came the feeling of what
had been done. His dress showed that
he was one of the hermts who vowed
themselves to a holy life of prayer and
self-denial and who were greatly rev
erenced even by the most thoughtless.
The few who had previously seen him
told that he had come from the wilds of
Asia on pilgrimage to visit the shrines
and keep his Christmas at Rome; they
knew he was a holy man-no more; and
1t is not even certain whether his name
was Alymachus or Telemachus. His
spirit had been stirred by the sight of
thousands flocking to see men slaughter
one another, and In his simple hearted
zeal he had resolved to stop the cruelty
or die. He had died, but not in vain.
His work was done. The shock of such
a death before their eyes turned the
hearts of the people; they saw the wicl-
edness and cruelty to which they had
blindly surrendered themselves, and from
the day when the hermit died in the Coli
scum there was never another fight of
gladiators. Not merely in Rome but in
every province of the empire, the Gus
tom was utterly abolished; and one habit
ual crime, at least was wiped from the
earth by the self devotion of one humble
obscure, almost nameless man.

The general color scheme is a combina-

The decoration is mostly in the Rocco

The rich heavy relief ornamentation on
the boxes and proscenium arch, and also
on the gallery fronts, the effect of which
was ruined as formerly decorated in solid
color, is now brought out in light and
shaded so that it looks like beautifully
carved ivory. 1t is very much to the credit
of Birmingham that it was not neces-

artistic decoration. 1t was done by the

TALL BUILDINGS NOT NEEDED.
In Our cities-some Reasons Against
Them.
From the Hartford Tlmes.

From the Hartford Times.
They give an unfair advantage of those
who build them, since this is obtained at
the cost of their neighbors. who have low
er buildings. The tall building offers it
tenants advantage of light and air which
are considerable. but these are had only
by shutting off the light and air of those
who occupy buildings of the normal type.
There is probably no doubt that this ad-
vantage is legal and nothing would be
said against 1t if the difference were only
moderate. From all time higher buildings
have stood by the side of lower and the
thing has been accepted as legitimate.
provided there were any good reason for
building high. 1t Is safe to say that the
objection on this ground alone is moral
rather than legal. IT. hiwever, the erec-
ION OF such buildings destroys the beauty
Oh city or increase the danger to life.
or If they make the streets dark and I'M
wholesome, they may properly be regu-
lated In the interest of the public. This
Is no mere theory. It Is put in practice
in many European cities of the first class,
and to some extent in a few in this
country
1t is to be hoped that the tendency to-
ward such buildings in cities where land
is still to be had at a reasonable price
Compared with the outlay for the build
ing ITSELF will be checked when 1t is bet
ter realized than while skyscrapers are
perhaps q necessity in New York they
are little more than a fad in most other
places That they disfigure city instead
of adding to its beauty is admitted by
most competent judges who have no per-
sonal interest in constructing them. Al
most of necessity they are out of proper
ton. A group of them erected on one
scheme might be made effective, and even
as it Is each one may be decorative in a
way, but 1t cannot escape the disadvant-
age of the lack of the proportion which Is
one of the basic elements of beauty in
architecture The beauty of a street de-
Ponds largely on the relation of its width
to the height of the buildings on 1t. This
element cannot be regarded in putting up
for regulation by the government which
has been most useful and effective.
AS a rule the objections to buildings of
inordinate hight do not appeal particularly
to those who desire to build them. These
objections are based on right of other
citizens on the desirability of making a
city beautiful and on other considerations
which regard the public rather than the
Individual IL they are to prevail they
must be applied and enforced In the name
of the public, that is, the municipality or
the state. If this is done generally and
efficiently, there will be fewer tall build
ings, but there will be far more beautiful
cities.
