Morgan Collections.

Art collectors and dealers throughout the
world have been excited by reports that ]. p.
Morgan intends to sell all part OF the art
received from Buenos Ayres and every capital
of Europe. The reports arose from the ex-
pressed desire OF Mr.. Morgan that there shall be
temporary exhibition of these collections in
the Metropolitan Museum of Art at New York
at the earliest possible date. This exhibition
will be opened in about month, and every
citizen and visitor at New York will have an
opportunity that was denied to. the collector
himself, to all his treasurers in one place.
The reports of a sale have not been con-
firmed or denied. Mr. Morgan limited to callers
that he might give some of the art objects to
Hartford, Connecticut to be housed in the
memorial erected by his father to his grand
father. Neither he nor his father ever promised
any or all OF them to the Metropolitan museum
but there has been a general belief that the
museum would get part of them. The sale
OF a fraction of the enormous collections would
scarcely diminish their representative character
If the whole lot were offered dealers say the
art market would slump, and of them has
been quoted as saying that he would go out OF
business.
But leaving Mr.. Morgan to deal finally with
these collections as flial piety and his judg-
ment may determine, there will be an opportunity
to see them during the next twelve months and
this will probably add enormously to the at
tractive power Of New York to tourists-Knox-

II abuse of public In his State and

means of the pardoning power. will avail ne
will reach goal. But will such means avail
with the people OF South Carolina?
Surely those people must be tired firing I
the jamboree which they entered a score
of years ago. Let 1t be admitted that local
conditions at that time called for improvement,
and that some Of the steps taken to that end
we're not so well advised: that the movement got
out of hand and In some results worked to the
injury of the State.
What other conclusion is possible when we
see such man Governor Blease the latest
tower on the reform stem? Under ordinary
circumstances he would not receive a moment
consideration in his present aspirations Inside
and outside the State. only brief establishment
would be felt and the matter dismissed. Recol-
lections of Wade Hampton and NJ. c. Butler
would make It impossible for such a candidacy to
hold attention at all.
But political conditions in South Carolina
have not been ordinary for long time. Re-
form produced the abnormal and at last has
produced .Blease. Is he not the limit? Or has
fate in reserve a figure less associable with sober
deliverances in office, and official conduct more
surprising?
AS The Star stated some months ago, the
senate might tame Governor Blease. 1t has
tanned others of his kind. After a few out
bursts, which would entertain the galleries and
make copy" for the newspapers, he would
sheer off from that sort of thing. He would find
that such outbursts injured him in the chamber
and prevented him from accomplishing any
thing of importance for hts constituents A
senator cannot subsist violence A human
volcano is never popular. Eruptions are at
least annoying.
But does South Carolina want the latest pro-
duct OF her turbulence tanned dn conspicuous
Ia place? The senate stands on an eminence.
Actors in that body are observed OF the whole
country. A foolish word spoken act com
mitted there a wise word spoken or act
committed. will attract attention from ocean
to ocean.
The old breed has not disappeared in that
lold Commonwealth. She has sent many notable
men to Washington. and in their places they gave
notable accounts of themselves. Why at this
important time in national affairs should she not
in this senatorial matter turn to the old order !?

vidual Righteousness, nothing moro nor less.
We sometimes wonder why this crime and
that can be committed. In the stress and under
the pressure OF extreme provocation, we can
sometimes mentally overlook the unreasonable
ness OF a violation against the laws of the land.
In excessive anger men, for instance. forget the
overhanging hand of the law. But how and
why can humanity sin against that higher and
loftier and more imperative law of love Is
paralyzng to conceptions. We cannot
figure 1t out by any agencies of reason with
which we So far familiar. 1t Is easier to
reach a rational conclusion as to why men will
violate the human law in behalf of social purity
and abstinence than 1t is to understand how a
man go out from the caress OF his children
and from the altar upon which the fires Of love
are burning and enmesh his soul and body in
debauchery. 1t is vastly less difficult to un-
derstand why the statutes against certain forms
of social evils violated than 1t is to reckon
the reason that young men and young women
will leave the embraces of pure-soued mothers
to become companded with others whose doors
the gateway of hell. There Is human
process that serves to explain away the con-
tinued SHINING against the more dignified- and
sterner law of love. And statutes devised by
the technical legal geniuses of the ages will
not wipe the detection from humanity Indi-
righteousness Society will improve in this
respect for law proportionate to the individual
