Factor in Future History.

This art movement, so auspicibusly inau
surated and so earnestly supported, if it he
lsedulousIy followed up is certain to prove
an important factor in the future history
of the National Museum. It was started
with the definite purpose of stimulating
the formation of permanent exhibit
which should he valued not only on ac-
count of Its attractiyeness and historical
interest. but more especially as furnish

to elevate the standard of art workman

Blaming It on the Comet.

A silly season is now in full swing. The
public imagination, superheated by vague
references to the possible consequences
OF the conjunction Of the earth with the
approaching comet, has lost all sense of
logic and proportion and is flying about
on course as erratic as that Of the ce-
lestial visitor itself Whatever happens
that is in the least degree out of the or
binary Is attributed to the comet. The
recent prolonged spell of rain was laid
upon the comet, regardless of the fact
that the previous drought was ascribed
to the same cause. A cold day is blamed
on the comet. and the next days excessive
heat is also accredited to the cometary in
duence. Diseases are regarded as due
to the presence, millions of miles away,
Of large volume of cyanogen gas
Whatever happens to the crops this sum-
mer. whether they are large or small
will be attributed to the comet. The
other day series of extraordinary freaks
OF nature such as four-legged chickens
and tailless calves. and so forth, were
reported from a nearby district with the
explanation that in the public mind these
abnormal creatures were thought to owe
their eccentricity of form to the comet
1t Is just the same with the sky tramp
as with the sun spots. Whenever the sun

pens Is laid on the sun spots In short.

cause to blame for any unusual effect.
There is a certain comfort in casting re-
sponsibility upon an influence that IL at
the same time far distant and vague and
unprovable. The intangible is the first
TO be suggested in the public mind az the
cause OF any phenomenon. The vagaries

nation. 1t IL In the nature Of things that

think himself the center Of the universe

Grass and Children.
From the Philadelphia Press.

The mayor OF New York has ordered
the keep of the grass" signs removed
from thirty New York parks. He thinks
the children should be allowed to romp
on lawns and grassy hillsides. This is a
sensible order. Grass il rendering the
best service 1t can give a city when 1t is
utilized as an outdoor carpet for chill
dren to play upon 1t can stand great
deal of that without being seriously hurt.
The light weight of children does not in
lure grass unless the ground is wet or
the grass is so fresh from the seed as not
to be fairly rooted. Playing on the grass
should be regulated, but not prohibited.
One of. the great charms Of Paramount
Park. in this city. is that the grass there
is not treated as too precious for human
footsteps. If the keep off the grass
rule were applied there the park would
not give one-quarter the pleasure that 1t
now affords.

The Republican Situation.

1t turns out that the tariff Is not the
only question on which the republicans
are divided. There are others. Here IL
the railroad question causing a lot 81
trouble, and developing in the Senate an
insurgency more aggressive. and far more
successful, than that manifested In that
body last year. The party responsible
for legislation there is powerless before
. combination Of insurgents and demo-
Gratis, and what is known as the admin
istration's program is openly flouted.
This is a fact, and it may be recorded
without regard to which side has the
right of the controversy. The regulars.
backed by the President, face one way.
and the insurgents. backed by the demo-
Gratis. face the opposite way. 1t Is the
republican party which suffers before the
country today, and seems likely to suffer
at the polls in November.
The remedy? Can one be found, and
In time for application?
One suggestion is that the President
take charge in person. Let him say to
the insurgents that they must break
with their democratic allies. or with him.
Let him tell them in plain terms that
they cannot longer serve him with gam
mon. Their words and their deeds must
now agree. He has had all the lip serv-
ice he cares for.
But some of his friends see danger in
this. In the first place they do not be-
lieve the insurgents would yield: and in
the second place it might be interpreted
as an attempt on the Presidents part to
read the insurgents out Of the party-a
thing which when imputed to him last
year he emphatically disclaimed. He
declared then that he had neither the dis
the kind.
The President. however, would be JUS
titled i'm dealing with the situation very
frankly in any deliverance he might make
by letter or otherwise to his friends and
supporters. He has his responsibility and
the republicans in Congress have theirs.
He has made his recommendations. and
1t is for Congress to take them. or alter
them or leave them. If they are altered
SO materially as practically to defeat the
ends he has in view. and which he thinks
are the ends to which the party is COM
understand. and fix the responsibility
where il belongs.
Taken in it's entirety, the situation
strikingly parallels that Of the democracy
In 1891. The party which eighteen months
ago swept all before 1t after a thorough
campaign in which all Of its issues were
exhaustive!y discussed is today, on the
eve OF an appeal to the people. torn with
strife, and, apparently, headed for de-
feat. Will defeat come. as in 1894? Or
will the republican generalship-so often
of the highest-again demonstrate its
quality in an emergency?

The Art Commission,

Both houses OF Congress nave now dC-
cepted the principle that there should be
some measure Of supervision over the art
works in the Capital city. The Senate
yesterday passed the bill already ap-
proved by the House. providing for
commission Of fine arts consisting OF
seven well qualified judges" to be ap-
pointed by the President and confirmed by
the Senate. This commission is to ex-
ercise a strictly advisory jurisdiction. its
decisions being subject to final ratifica-
ton by Congress. There is q question as
to the wisdom Of thus specifically limit
ing the powers of the commission. but
something il to be said on each SIDE If
Congress does not approve Of the art
commissions work 1t has only to abolish
that body. On the other hand, II the de-
cisions Of the commission are to remain
subject to congressional ratification there
will be delays which may easily result in
the defeat of worthy projects Of capital
improvement.
The distrust Of art experts which has
been freely expressed in Congress in the
course Of the discussion of this bill and
other matters pertaining to the artistic
development of Washington is hardly
worthy Of the national legislature. It IL
true that Washington contains some ar
chitectural and sculptural atrocities. It
Is true that in many eyes the pension
office is gaunt and ugly barn, more suit
ed for emplacement In the midst Of q
Kansas prairie than in the heart Of
Washington. It IL painfully true that the
Post Office Department IL . travesty upon
architecture. q mockery more bitter to
endure because Of the proclaimed purpose
Of it's creator to give the capital some
thing ineKably superior in the way Of a
public building The city Ia dotted
with bronze denominations that were bet
ter melted into grille work. Some of the
marble efngies would. when pulverixed
and calculated. make better soda water
than art. But despite these crimes
against the canons of artistic taste, and
indeed in view Of them. there Is need Of
some superior governing authority repre-
senting the highest artistic taste of the
country to pass judgment upon the pro-
posed additions to the capitals equip
ment.
Had there been such a commission A
that provided for in the bill which now
passes into the final stage Of perfection,
Washington would have been spared
many of the abnormalities and freaks
and injustices that give 1t an aspect Of an
embryonic attempt at art expression.
The proposed commission cannot undo
these shocking deeds Of artistic violence.
1t has no power to rase misft buildings
and demolish the sculptural travesties.
But it can set up a higher standard for
Congress to observe and avoid in the fu-
ture the errors that have marked the
past. Perhaps in time some Of the abom-
nations will become by contrast SO OBJ
noxious that the government will in very
shame and from sheer -self-respect pro-
vide the funds for their replacement.

country about 100000 acres Of practi-
cally abandoned farm land. while the land
that Is cultivated is bled here and merely

The recent decline in wholesale prices

gest a hope that q reaction has at last

Of the upward movement which has been
going on for several years, or it may be
definite and mark the turning point in
this long series of price changes. But,
at any rate. a counter current has set in.
as is evident from the present prices of
various commodities as compared in
the New York Journal Of Commerce, with
the highest prices quoted for those COM
modities in recent years.
