KEEzEuL DISCUSSED
FOR NEXT GOVERNOR

RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 5.-LeadIng
Democratic politicians Of this city are
discussing the next nominee for COVER
nor. In this connection. they ara In
cluding the name OF Senator George B.
KeezeIl, of Rockingham.
One who is very close to him says
Senator Keezel will very probably enter
the race. The first brush, according
to the same authority, will be for the
Craftsmanship of the Democratic caucus
of the Senate next winter. Keezen is
the man who will be put forward by
the opposition to Judge William Hodges
Mann, of Nottaway. and If he wins, It
is said that the launching of his guber-
Material boom will follow.
Within the last fortnight a great deal
of briskness has been injected into the
fight for the speakership of the house.
Three candidates have already an

Nov Laugh. Darn Yel'

Unfeigned pleasure was ours, a
month or so ago, in noting the
present prosperity of Arkansas.
With a peach crop of $4,000 car
loads hanging on her branches,
plums corresponding, and apples by
the thousand barrels, her farmers
could well stick their thumbs
through their galluses and grunt:
''Now laugh, darn vel" That is, if
there are any farmers in Arkansas
who talk like the comedians of the
B.'Gosh play.
But peaches, apples, and plums
are not the only new-fOund riches
of Arkansaw. Follow her stolid
sons of the soil, and you will wear
diamonds for a fact. If the conser-
vative expectations of well-known
photographers and mineroIogists
come true, we can expect to see the
Sheperdsons and Jaxons of HUckle-
berry Finn walking our streets this
winter, with half-bushel of
peaches in one hand and in the
other a sparklet as big as a can
teloupe.
DIR. George F. Kuntz, vOuched for
by the New York Evening Post as
''probably the foremost authority
on diamonds in the country" bears
the tidings of the find. This gen
tleman has just returned to a lux
ury-loving East from a careful two
months investigation of the new
field. His report is that the forma-

Augustus Saint GaudenS.

A truly great figure in contem-
porary art is lost in the death of
augustus st. Gaudens Instructive
Difference to his work from his fell
low American sculptors gave him
the proudest distinction they mad
to bestow-unquestioned leader
ship, encouragement, inspiration.
BY every standard of criticism he
obtained abroad a right to the com
pany of Rodin and Meunier and a
rank before that of his old teacher,
Falguiere.
Sculpture is the art of reproduc-
ing form in the mass. AcademicaI-
ly it has dealt with types, not with
personalities, with nature glozed,
not with nature vigorously re-
produced and intensified. But from
the Italian Renaissance until to-
day the movement to give sculpture
the strength and beauty of realism
has steadily gained fore To that
movement all the talent and energy
of st. Gaudens were contributed
without pose or suspicion of fam
boyance.
Certain great patrons of art, con-
spicuously Kaiser William, have dis
couraged and discredited this move
ment among sculptors. The results
were pictorial it was said, not
sculptural; as often as not they had
to do with form in motion, while
sculpture would find beauty enough
to reproduce in form at rest. AS
though the whole frieze of Phidias
were not a study of horses and
their riders quickened with every
instinct Of motion and pictorial in
the highest degree!
No artist of st. Gaudens' ear
nest temperament could have failed
to show forth beauty by every
means at his command and the
! beauty of motion, suggested by
sculptured figures, is one of the dis
tinguishing features of his COM
positions. The Shaw Memorial in
Boston, with its stoHd colored
troops and inspired young colonel
sweeping irresistibly on; the Sher-
man Monument, in New York, with
its angelic figure of wonderful
grace. accompanying the great sol
der on a march as resistless as
the flow of the tide-these are char
acteristic and revealatory.
But such composition is yet not
the total of St. Gaudens' skill.
Here in Washington, in Rock Greek
Cemetery, is a figure from his hand
which must be reckoned not only
one of his greatest achievements
but one of the greatest also of OuI
time. Motion has no part in it;
rather IL is a presentation of that
amaze and desperation which cover
to the world the tumult of deeI
personal grief. "The Peace of God
it has been called. and Grief and
Despair" 1t will be TO each on
locker what he finds in it. But to
the world, especially to his adopted
country, It must be as well now a
measure of the loss the field of art
has Just suffered.

THE DELAWARE DAM AGAIN.

The Delaware Dam bill' was made a
law in this State at a time when ANY
old thing could be gotten through the
Legislature with money and influence.
1t was a general act giving power to a
private corporation to lam a stream for
water power. No compensation to the
State for the franchise was provided
for. There is a considerable fall in the
Delaware River near Trenton and a
dam across that stream would furnish
a large amount of water power. When
the projectors of the Delaware dam
scheme went to Harrisburg for the
legislation necessary for damming an
interstate river, they were met by the
fishery and other interests and foiled.
In successive sessions of the Pennsyl-
vania Legislature attempts to get a bal
through were defeated.
The scheme is now revived at Tren-
ton under cover of the proposition for
a deep water channel in the Delaware
between Trenton and Philadelphia. II
is pointed out that a dam Of sufficient
height would afford power enough to
furnish all the electricity needed BY
Trenton, including the trolley lines, ane
by neighboring towns. The entire profit
would so to the private corporation
holding the franchise. and under the
State law the State would get nothing
tor the valuable franchise conferred.
The Pennsylvania Legislature will no
convene until 1909. as it is biennial, Sc
there will be time to change the State
law and make all franchises for dam
ming streams to obtain valuable power
pay good tribute to the State treasury
Such franchises may, in fact, be pui
up at auction as public franchises nov
are in New York. There is a vas
amount Of undeveloped water power IL
New Jersey, and it represents millions
of future wealth. Shall the State hav'
no share of this wealth?
