No Over-Ocean Dirigible Trip.

II is announced that Vaniman will not
undertake to cross the Atlantic with his
dirigible balloon this year. This is doubt
less a wise decision The experiment OF
driving great gas bag across more than
1000 miles of ocean would seem to be
about as hopeless and useless as anything
that has yet been undertaken in the way
of aerial navigation. The chances OF
success are at best slender. There must
be calm weather for several days with
out interruption. The balloon must work
perfectly, the engines functioning without
slip, and there must be no fogs. Even
when this combination Is secured the trip
would stand as a mere novelty of no
practical Importance, for even In the light
Of amazing advances in aviation during
the last five years IL Is still Uncomfortable
that the dirigible can be developed to
commercial uses. Its presentation of q
great surface to wind resistance renders
Il susceptible to arrangement and causes
IL to be the least trustworthy Of notation
devices save for the single purpose Of
remaining aloft without power. Despite
the persistence of Zeppelin In Germany
the gas bag cannot be regarded as an
efficient mode OF air navigation.

II Is true that later Mr. WI, perhaps car
ried away by his popularity, went a bit
too far In his efforts to secure legisla-
tion favorable to Chinese immigration
and trade and brought his period Of USE
fulness In Washington to an end: but
when he had gone he was remembered
gratefully as a most agreeable and enter
tanning gentleman of refinement and wit
whose presence was always personally
welcome. His career in China since he
returned has been followed with interest
by his American friends. and early in the
present revolution the hope was expressed
that he would find a suitable place In
the new order Of things. When the other

Jingoism has been rising to high points
in English journalism for q long time.
For at least ten years a part of the
London press has been spelling for a
fight with Germany. Every possible
opportunity has been improved to keep
the anti-German sentiment alive. FIRE.
quently the foreign Office has been called
upon to explain away the insulting
comments Of certain newspapers. which
were printed not necessarily for the
sake OF precipitating a conflict at that
time. but to forward policy of So
called patriotism for domestic political
purposes. The truth Is that IT Is the
avowed purpose of some English poll
ticians to distract attention from home
conditions. which are far from salts

the channel to a traditional enemy. This
is an old device. not entirely unknown
in this country. 1t Is to be hoped that
it will not be pushed to the point OF
actually embroiling Germany and Eng

present or prospective justin cation.

The American Art Center.

An unmistakable tendency Is observ-
able TO recognize Washington as an artis-
tic center For q number OF years the
advantages of the capital in this respect
have been brought to attention by incl
dents which have been too significant to
be readily mistaken. First, for an In
stance, came the announcement that Mr.
Charles Frear of Detroit had made provi-
sion for the gift, after his death. OF his
Invaluable collection of Whistler paint
ings and etchings. including the famous
peacock room." to the Smithsonian In
stitution, with an appropriate housing
to be provided by the donor. Then the
HARRIET Lane Johnson collection was
given to the Smithsonian to form the nu-
cleus of a national gallery. Former Sena-
tor Clark of Montana loaned number OF
valuable paintings to the Corcoran Gal
lery of Art for temporary exhibition
which has been so prolonged as to be-
come virtually a permanent installation
Material assistance has been given in the
maintenance of a biennial salon of Ameri-
can art at the same gallery.
Now comes perhaps the most important
of all the endowments to increase the
Corcoran co lection and to encourage SINH
lar gifts. The late Edwin A. Abbey. who,
DESPITE his long residence in England,
did not lose his affection for his native
land, provided in his will. which was filed
yesterday for probate I'm New York. for
the creation of a fund to be expended In
the purchase of the best works OF art
from the annual exhibition of the Royal
. Academy of London to be placed In the
Corcoran Gallery of AIT as the property
of the United States. This provision was
made contingent upon the death of Mr..
Abbey's wife before or at the same time
as his own. Her survival technically
prohibits the creation of the fund for the
purpose designated by the artist. but 1t Is
stated by one in authority that II Is Mrs.
Abbey's intention to carry out the wishes
of her husband and to make an appro-
pirate provision out of the estate. which
il worth upward of $1.OO0.O0O, for the an
nua, purchase of ROYAL Academy paint
ings and their presentation to the United
States.
Regardless of the number of paintings
thus yearly acquired, the example set by
Mr. Abbey is certain to be an inspiration
to others who wish to contribute to the
art equipment of the capital and thereby
aid in the evolution of the ideal WASH
ington, which it is the desire Of every
patriotic American to behold. This can
be done by the gift Of pictures and
sculptures from private collections which
are now hidden from the public and are
therefore Of a minimum Of value, or by
the establishment of funds for the regu-
lar purchase of new works. The fact Is
growing more evident to the country that
Washington is peculiarly adapted to the
purposes of exhibitions. Immense num-
bers of people come to Washington an
nua.ly with leisure to inspect the treas
ures of the galleries and museums. They
are not distracted by noisy business fac
tors and usually have leisure to appre-
ciate what they see. Nowhere else In
the United States can a truly national
salon be maintained entirely free from
local limitations and influences.

| II 1t is true as reported. that the trick

| Gratis to cheat the ignorant voter-partic-
ularly the colored voter-cost them the
head of their state ticket at Tuesdays
election, there is good cause for rejoic-
Ing II the engineer-and such an engi-
neer-has been hoist with his own
petard. justice has prevailed.
The Maryland trick ballot Is the last
word in the matter Of election skuldug-
gerry. 1t has been In use for some years
now, and has explained more than one
result, city and state. at the polls.
Some men. going upon the proposition
that politics Is war, and that all is fair
in war and love. do not hesitate to cut
capers in party affairs which they would
shrink from in private affairs. They
would not tap a till. They would not
forge a note. They would not set before
an ignorant man for his scrawl or his
crossmark an instrument Of writing in
tended to deceive and rob him. Any such
thing would be abhorrent to them.
But, without hesitation and by careful
design. they will confuse and mislead
voter, and rob him of his ballot. They
abuse a public trust. Their duty is to
electorate. But their performance Is to
secure partisan advantage at the expense
of the plain meaning Of the law. And
when they succeed they chucxle over
their shrewdness. and men Of high posi-
ton accept Office at their soiled hands.
How many more times will the ma
chine democrats of Maryland appeal to
the people on the issue of disfranchise-
ment? How many more times will it be
necessary for the higher grade members
of their party-truly, the independents
to put their disapproval on the PROPOSE
ton at the polls? The matter has been
juggled with in a variety of forms. From
learned lawyers, operating behind a mask
Of fine phrases, to slum politicians oper-
ating after their bungling kind, many
have tried their hands at converting the
only to learn on election day that public
sentiment in Maryland is opposed to the
base proceeding.
Maryland il q progressive state, and
her metropolis is growing at most graf
flying rate. The political leadership on
both sides is native. and. as a rule. able
and cleanhanded. Her people In the
main ara Intelligent and Industrious, and
desire only the fair and square thing
Why should they be harried by repeated
efforts Of machine men, acting under the
| spur OF selfish motives. to nullify the
| spirit Of the national Constitution as re-
spects the right Of citizens to participate
in the affairs Of government?

For q Quicker Count.
From the Baltimore American.

1t is disgrace to Maryland that the
count of the ballots in this state should
be slower than in any state Of the Union.
In many states the outcome of the cleo
ton is known as soon as the pc Is close
and In all Of them long before the result
is surely known in Maryland. The voter
has a right to know before he goes to
bed on the night Of the election what has
been the result of the cast of the ballots
instead OF waiting twenty-four or thirty
six hours to ascertain. The cost under
the present slow and obsolete methods in
this state Is much in excess of what the
cost Of conducting an election should be.
The people will demand scrutiny Of the
election methods in order to institute SIM
pier and quicker ways to ascertain the
result and to place Maryland In a more
creditable position In this regard.
