WINGFIELD IS SENATOR.

The appointment of George Wing
field by Governor Tasker L. Oddie of
Nevada to be U. S. Senator from that
State, to fill the vacancy created by the
death of Senator Nixon, has been made
as expected. 1t is an appropriate ap-
pointment, and We feel certain will be
approved by the people of our neigh
boring State
Mr. Wingfield was partner of the
dead Senator, and the naming Of him
for the succession is the most appro
pirate thing that Governor Oddic could
have done. Mr. Wingfield is. as stated,
probably the richest man in Nevada,
and one OF the richest men in the
United States. His riches came from
gold mines, being thus new wealth ad-
ded to tho world. His case is not that
of so many. especially in the Eastern
States, who merely acquire wealth by
getting it from others, In Mr. Wing
field s case no one lost any money
through his accumulation Of wealth. He
dug the gold out Of the earth, and it
became new wealth to the State, to
the Nation, to the World. 1t is the
cleanest, most ideal method Of gaining
wealth that is known among men.
Mr.. Wingfield has shown himself to
be man of vast capacity, Of strong
organizing force, and Of rare admins
trative ability That he will be a good
and useful Senator for his State, that
he will be popular in the Senatorial
body, that he will fully maintain the
highest traditions of Senatorial ability
that have so distinguished Nevada,
there can be no doubt, The Tribune
congratulates Mr.. Wingfield, and also
the State of Nevada upon his appoint.
ment. That he will make good in this
new field as he has made good every.
where else, we have not the shadow of
douht

GONE MAD ON ART,

madness appears TO be possessing
the brains of men of money in the pur.
chase Of select examples or master.
pieces of art. The competition for
such examples is far keener than ever
before known in the world. This com
petition evidently takes on something
of an international character being on
the part of European buvers to some
extent resentful Of the invasion Of
American money that seeks to rob
Europe of its great masterpieces
As an example. We see accounts Of
the prices obtained in Paris within
the past fortnight for masterpieces OF
the eighteenth century French school
OF art, from the collection Of VI.
JACQUES Doucet. At this sale. there was
paid 100000 for pastel portrait by
La Tour. the same pastel having been
purchased at a previous sale less than
ten wears ago FOR $l0i2 Here is the
gain Of 500 per cent in ten wears for
this picture. Surely this is the mad.
ness of collection. At the same sale,
there was paid 100000 for a bust bv
Houdou, 100000 for picture by Char.
din, and $4,000 for drawing by Wat
tesu.
Il is conceded, of course, that NJ
Doucet was collector OF rare discrim-
ination, exquisite taste, and unsur-
passed Judgment. IL is assumed that
because Doucet had these pictures they
are 1nauestionsbly genuine, and with
equal certainty are rare and valuable.
Therefore. the tremendous prices paid
These prices are paid because il is
the fashion TO commend the buying Of
masterpieces Of art. There is also the
international rivalry referred TO above,
and there is. besides that, the individ-
usl rivalry among collectors of vast
wealth who wish TO add everything de-

BAD CITY FINANCIERING.

The city Of Los Angeles is facing
financial problem which it finds diff
cult to solve. AS detailed in the re-
ports, there is in the city treasury Of
Los Angeles about $l0,000,000, derived
from the sale of bonds for the putting
in of the extensive waterworks that
have been planned and are largely con
structed This $10,oO0,000, it is ex-
pected, will lie idle In the city treas
ury of Los Angeles for about n year
before it is called for in the current
payments for doing public work. The
banks decline to meet the terms Of the
requirement as to the deposit Of muni-
cipal securities, these being the deposit
of ITO per cent of municipal securi-
ties In order to obtain city deposits.
The banks decline to do this and the
prospect is that the money will be idle
for the year. The city is paying in
terest on this bond money of some.
thing over 4 per cent, so that the tax
payers of the city are facing loss IN
interest Of upwards of 100000 for the
year on account Of this transaction.
No doubt those officials who nego.
tiated for the paying over of this $l0,-
100000 in bond money thought that
ii would be a good thing to get the
money into the city and put it to
profitable use. Just as this city did
when it negotiated its million dollar
loan TO put in the Big Cottonwood wa
ter supply and dig the sewers provided
for. In this city the proposition
worked all right. because there was no
hampering requirement as to imprac-
ticable municipal securities that must
be deposited in order for the banks to
get the money Here the banks took
the money on good terms, and the city
was no loser, while the community re-
ceived the benefit Of the use of that
money.
But in Los Angeles the problem is
to get that money into use so that the
city will not lose the 100000 which
it pays In interest. AS far as devel.
oped, no solution appears. But it would
seem as though the city ought to be
able to protect itself fully in letting
the banks have this money on the pay
ment Of the interest which the citv is
required TO meet. and let the money
get into circulation among the peo.
pie for the benefit Of the business of
the city. If this cannot be done, it
would have been far better not 10 issue
the bonds or call for the money on the
sale of them.

sirable and available to their collec-
tions this rivalry causing, besides the
above special sales intimated, the pay
ment of s105,6oo at the Carcano sale,
the present month, for Resnault g 'Sa-
lone.
Never before in the history Of the
world was vast wealth so widely distri-
buted as it is today, and never before
our own time has that immense wealth
taken on the craze for the purchase Of
rare paintings and exquisite works Of
art as il has taken today And we may
add, finally, since such sensational ad-
vances are shown in prices OF rare art
oems. the element Of speculation may
also have its place.
