most American collectors are destined
soon or late, to revert to the whole
people. Who are the whole people
and where do they find themselves cen
tered and represented in their own
pride of possession, except 1t bo here
In Washington
The news respecting the intended
disposition of the collections in ques-
tion is readily understandable. They
are the natural and logical heritage OF
the people of the country. They are
destined to finally remove the already
disappearing reproach that q people too
young to be in the finer sense creative
has not despite its youth the creative
impulse which the want of leisure
has denied maturity. That they should
be given to the nation, and that the
nation should give them home, is>not
to be denied. That the home should
be elsewhere than in Washington
would be to make mockery of the
national character of the enterprise.
Imagination is stirred at the thought
of an American Louvre, under the con.
troll and direction of Government
grown out of the more obvious into the
more real materialism of mind and
soul. The influence and example of
such an institution at the Capital
would be boundless in inspiration and
effect. But a|national museum of art
except in Washington would be inept
and, in large measure, inutile. What
would be the standing of the Louvre
were it situate at LIE Havre!
Both the people of Washington and
the members of Congress have been
put on notice respecting the intention
of collectors whose combined posses
sions constitute at once museum of
a magnitude elsewhere possible only as
the long record of slow and toilful &C.
QUESTION. 1t is fitting that the United
States should thus spring full fledged
and equipped into its place as q treas
ury of the worlds art. But it would
only tend toward confusion, dissipa-
tion, and regret if any chain of circum-
stances should operate to place the
center of national art collection else
where than in the particularly desig-
mated center of the Nation itself.
