preceding the civil war, with results
that would be extremely monotonous if
all the buildings of certain class were
seen together. In fact, however, the
Government buildings erected under
this system were and are much more
agreeable and dignified objects than
tho average of the buildings erected
between 1861, when the control of pub
lie buildings was transferred from the
War Department to the Treasury, and
1897, when the Tarsney act went into
effect.
The leading minds of the committee
endeavorcd to make out that the archi-
tects had procured the passage of the
Iarsney act in order to get themselves
jobs. Everybody who knows anything
about the matter knows that, in con-
junction with the body of cultivated
citizens, the architects procured the
enactment because the Government
architecture was deplorably inferior
to the best of our private building.
Every such person also knows that the
act has fulfilled its purpose and that the
standard Of Government building is now
equal to that of private building As
for the architects, they have done their
full share in making the act successful,
and have made sacrifices to that effect.
They have not only taken part in COM
petitions without other compensation
than the chance of getting the COM
mission, which most reputable archi-
tects decline to do in competitions
privately instituted, but they work for
less than their regular commissions BY
assuming in the case of the Govern
ment certain expenses which in private
practice they charge to their clients.
1t is not to be supposed that because
the leading minds Of the House commit
tee do not know or care for the differ
ence between good and bad public archi-
lecture the same ignorance and apathy
prevail in the Senate. On any aesthetic
question the opinion of the Senate is
apt to be preferable to that of the
House. We might perhaps add that
the opinion of Republican House on
such question is preferable to that of
a Democratic, if the colossal and Bpo-
tian image Of Uncle JOE did not con-
front us to put to shame such conteS.
ton. However that may be, it is not
to be supposed that the silly and vandal-
istic scheme Of the House committee of
repeating a piece of legislation which |
has worked so well as the Tarsney act,
though adopted by the House itself.
will pass the Senate or survive a COM /
mittee of conference.

THE OLD MAN or THE SEA.
A Democrats LamentatiOn for Demo-
cratic Fear Of Bryan.

To the EDITOR or THE SUN-S~!
Slowly but surely the Democratic con.
vention is making Mr.. Tafts calling ana
election sure. Well. pcrhas it's Just as
well! The country can feel safe. for the
people have confidence In President Tart
and he will profit by his bitter experience
and be better qualified to NIL his position
than ever before.
II has been made clear over and over
again that the country will not approve
Of Bryan or Bryanlsm, and yet the Demo-
Gratis at baltimore have weakened them
selves, have weakened their party by ex-
hibitlns regard for his opinion which
he does not deserve. 1t Is pity to have
a good cause sacrificed for man who Is
acting from purely selfish motives.
And what must we think OF the weak
kneed delegates at Baltimore who are
cowed by his braggadocio and awed by
his threats? T.. 7. w.

The Tarsney Act.

People who take an intelligent inter.
est in our public architecture. and who
are aware how greatly it has been i'm
proved since the passage Of the Tarsncy
act, have found themselves forced Ia
view with serious concern the repeal
of that act proposed in the Sundry Civil
bill as il has passed the House and gone
to the Senate. Persons in honest doubt
upon the subject may be recommended
to read the full report Of the testimony
given last year by Mr.. JAMES KNOX
, TAYLOR. then Supervising Architect
of the Treasury, before the House Com
mittec on Expenditures of the Treasury
Department, upon whose report the
proposal to repeal the act was founded.
II is understood, of course, that the ma
jorlty of the committee regarded them
selves az retained to show that extrava-
gance and waste had marked the Rcpub-
lican administration of the department.
Still. there are limits to the extent to
which a partisan, if he have sense and
public spirit will 60 in his endeavors to
ulscTcult tnc OtncT party.
These limits the majority OF the COM
mttee altogether disregarded Hav-
ing elected from Mr.. TAYLOR the ad-
mission that the employment of emf
nent architects in private practice might
cost the Government from one and a
half to two and half per cent, they
thought their task brought to a tri-
umphant conclusion. They entirely
disragarded Mr. TAyLOR's further ex-
planation, which would have been SUPER
fluous TO anybody who knew anything
about the matter, that the Government
had received far more than %S,nr e.
this expenditure and >ttV brought in
their proposal 1e;, 1er;ep,eal the bcneficent
,h1 e' " IusIlon. The leading minds of
Wv. .jmmittce ignored not only the
sticligcnt and temperate explanations
Of the witness but the modest and sensi-
bic suggestions Of a minority of their
own body. To describe these leading
minds, the minds of Cox of Indiana and |
GoEKE of North Dakota, as half baked"
were grossly to flatter their complete
and complaccnt crudity. 1t is con-
rcivable that the conviction of the hope
lcssness Of contcnding with such in
tellccts, at Washington or at Ephcsus,
On n question Of ~sthctic appreciation,
may have determined the regretted
OF Mr.. TAYLOR from an
office in which he was compelled to en-.
them.
Among other things the committee
was much concerned with the cxtraya-
rancc OF the Treasury Department in
paying fees 10 unofficial architects for
three buildings of moderate size and
cost, although Mr.. TAYLOR had testified
that competitions among outside archi-
'ects were held only when the cost of
The proposed building ran into millions
II seems, however, that Secretary MAC
EACH has had the sensible notion of

ncnt buildings in cities of equal popi-
alton and requirements of Government
