MJSJ^OSJf Ilf THE CONSULAR SERVICE. Bxnatob Morgan hoa introduced » bill looking to the reorganization of the State ttopartmeot and the reform of the diploBuitio and consular aemce. It is certainly time something were done in this line. 8o far as eoncems the evils which could pe eared by the application of the merit aystem, it seema to us that all that Is necessary is to extend the oivil-serviue pules so as to cover the positions which Mr. Morgan’s rules are intended to cover. Thei* IS no need of any new examining board, for the Civil Service Commission ia Bmply qualified to bold the necessary exMnmations. , • But the result which Uie Senator is miming at is most desirable. His bill protides for examinations in United States gnd general history, international and oon•titutionai law, political economy, geography, arithmetic, English language, and either German, French. Spanish, Italian nr Bussian. Those who pass the exnroination are to be eligible to the lowest grades of the service, and it IB by promotion from these grades that the higher positions are to be filled. Those now in the service, as well as new ' nppiicunts, arc required to submit to thn •xamiiiations. There are to be no removals for political reasons, but only for ineffi icmy or misconduct. The only offirfsls who etc not to be examined are the Secretary of State, th" liiet Awiistant Secretary, solicitor of the Uepkriment, ambassadors, envoys and coutulat ngentA T here are provisions as to Miaries, and consular fees—except fees not ID excess of 95UO a yean paid to ooniulur agBiits-~are cut off. This bill, or something like it, should past As tilings are now, places in the diplomatic and consular service are looked upon as^rewarde lor party hacks, and as convenient receptacles for men whom it is desired to keep as far away from home as possible. The whole thing should be taken out of pclities. A man who once gets into the service should be able to look forward to the f ossibility of making a career for himself. his is manifestly impossible under the present system. A reform is sorely needed, - and it should be so radical in its character and ao firmly intrenched in law as to keep Bnworthy men oat of the service and to protect worthy men from any futuro Joeiah Quincy who may happen to break into oSice.

the bill was reported to the House its conservative character surprised high protoctionista and disappointed radical reformer A The House passed the bill and sent it to the Senate more tiiau two months ago And from that time to thia the on# object which the Demacrats have seemed to 'b'ave in mind bos been to discover some way “how not to do iL" The bill waS treated by the finance committee as though it were a Be publican measure After numerous delays and endless dickering it was re-

ported to the Senate Then debate was

postponed for two weeks, and now ft is

rery doubtful whether the mutilated, trust-dictated bill can pass at all. In the meantime the Democratic party

all over the country is disorganized and

demoralized, and is being beaten in elec-

tion after election. And yet only two years ago the party was invincible. Now Its own members are turning agamst it They rightly feel that they have been betraved. Whether this betrayal 18 tlie result of treachery, venality, or Simply stupidity on the part of the supposed leaders of the party u hot important. Whatever their motives may be, they haie played havoc with, the organization

which they pretend to serve and love.

TIIE ART ASSOCIATION’S OPPOR-

TUNITY.

Thk Art Association, which has labored so long and so faithfully for the promotion of the good influences which flow from the cultivation of a love for the beautiful, has held a business meeting and resolved upon several noteworthy things. One is that the annual exhibit-is to be held in May, the' plans for which are not yet completed It appears, further, that, as a result of the past work of this association, It now owns sixteen pictures— a very respectable collection, indeed Another thing the association resolved upon was an effort to raise a fund of not less than $>,010 for building an art museum. Subscriptions will be small, payments eaav, tiie sum meanwhile profitably invested These are all good things We have year after year had many words of urgency for popular support of this cause. M hat has been done has been largely done by women. The result shows that strong in flueuces may be established by patient and persistent labor, even though this labor be difficult and the field be small. In these many years that this commendable work ha* gone on, .Indianapolis ha* gone on. To-day Indianapolis is 4 large city. City and suburbs to-day contain probably ISO,000 people, and there are many things here now that go to make up advantages of city lile, though there are very many things that we suU lack. It is wise to take counsel in au endeavor to keep pace with this general progress. The plans governing an enterprise many years ago may not be adequate for the best results of that enterprise If they remain'unchanged in a community which meantime has so greatly advanced. The Art Association does not, for example, do all that it ought to do if it hold an exhibit of pictures three weeks or four in the year and lock the pictures away irom the mass of the people. The Art Association is not eaual to ita opportunity, is not fulfilling the true purpose of its being, simply to have art gallery here a few weeks in the year for the benefit of a few hundred persona who have the leisure during the week and the means to pay

the admission fee.

It 18 very pleasant, to be sure^for an association of estimable ladies and gentlemen to have an elegant entertainment of this kind. It gives a flilip to social intercourse, and may be altogether lovely, but if it stop there, it it not, we contend, reahzin^he broad and benefieent purposes of an art association. Littla is accomplished indeed to get some scores or hundreds of pictures hero for our “wellknown" people to look at. The great thing u to give the masoet of the people in this community an opportunity to see pictures. The number of visitors should be thousands, where they have been bundredA The point IS vitaL That art association which ia struggling, as ours is here, to lay the foundation for an institution of which some day the eommonity may indeed be proud, is a sucoese which, each year, gives, not to the cultured and well-to-do fiw a chance to see pictures—the people who have such a chance by their abiliUr to visit other cities—but which gives to the iSreat masses opportunity which otherwise

they would never have.

A report of an art oMociation of this kind, which shall show as ai result of such an exhibition so many hundred admissions and BO much money to the good, u not something at which to point with pride. The thing to point with pride to is so many thousands of people admitted. Kean, after struggling for a place at the front for years, finally got his chance in Shyiock He leturned home after his wonderful triumph to tell his wife of it. She exclaimed, “Oh. what did Lord U tav*" “D— Lord E said Kean, “the pit rose to me!” An art association like ours does its bencheeot work when it plays to the pit

Another thing: The association has some sixteen pieturcA hat good do they do the public? They are shut away from public view. We respectfully represent that tois also is not fulfilling the purpose of an art aaeooiation. An art association ought to be a means to place pictnrea before the peoplA Why then can not the Art Association hang ita pictures in the Public Library* There wo have a fire proof building, a building in every way worthy as a place for these pictures. There is no fear that the picPnres might be damaged there. The great Columbian Exprsition forever settled that. The pictures there wore undefended by a ■mgk rail. TJie miscellaneous crowds came and went at will, and no one was even asked to give up bis umbrella or cane before entering The suggestion of such freedom in the beginning caused a shiver to run through every one in authority. But It was tried and most nobly did the result vindicate the sell-respect of an American crowd. Such a thing could not be done m Europe. But it was done here, to the lasting credit of American character. Onr art associat’on need fear no harm to it* picture* hung upon the walls of the Public Library. They would suitably adorn that beautiful place, and there they would be spcn by hundreds of people every week, and so, silently, as the days go on, fulfill the purpose of their being. Bring out these concealed treasures, let the people see them, and at the great annual show throw open the doors on Sundays tfa»t all may come in' So let our Art Association be equal to its opportunity and do the great work that it

ought to do.

Another thing which Is apt to bewilder a a man is making a judicious choice in selecting hi* ties for daytime and cvfening wear 'The Elyses scarf, with its wide ends, is still in demand, but is not new. Really the latest thing in the tie line is the butterfly tie, which is, of course, black or white, for evening wear, but which can be had in

colors for day purposes As will readilv be seen, the tie takes Its name from its peenhar shape and marked resemblance to the real article in

the butterfly line. Of course, the “butterfly” comes m the made tie, but every gentleman will want to tie bis own, which will not be a difficult matter if one studies the outs given of the ties before and after the

knot has been tied

A tie which is likely to be worn even more than the butterfly is the plain straight tie, which can be used either with or without the stock attachment It is a very handsome tie, and has quite a stunning effect when properly tied It can be had in nearly every variety of shade, and the selections are nearly all attractive White ties ID pique and white pongee silk Ascots, with flowing ends, will also be much worn. In compliance with a demand for w hite ties a ppre white silk narrow four-in-hand has been hit upon, which is at once reversible and can be washed without any special tare. This scar! has already nad a ready sale, and it is expected that it will be one of the best selling articles in the neckwear llUA Means of Identlflcatloiiu

fHarperh Weekly (ImL).] If the Democratic party eaa not refona the tariff, there is not only no reason why it should be preferred to the Republioaa party, but abnndant reasons why it should be driven out of power and its old Rotagonist reinstated. The especial weakness ut the Democratic party is in the Senate. There are appjueatly eight Democratic benatora whose interest or inclma^ Mom indnee them to oppose and obstruct any reform of the tanit. They have succeeded thus far m mangling the moderate free list of the Wilson bill, and one of them, the weakest and most pitiini oi all. haa agreed to betray his partv for a tax of 55 per cent on collars and cuds Senators Htll and Murphy are accused of making a trade with Republican politicians by wEieh they agreed to vote against any tariff bill in return for Republiuin votes against Mr. Peckbam and Mr. Hornbiower. Mr. Bno* is interested in sugar, wool, and in the transportation of coal from West Virginia. And so it goes. The truth is that most of these eight Democratic Senators are m favor of retaining the MoKwley law on the statute booka They are merely pretending when they assert that they want any reform of the tariff law. W hat they really want is that duties shall reniaia as they are. There u no Republican benator more thoroughly protectionist than hve of these Senators, who intend to do all in their power to defeat any tariff bill. These eight Senators are Hill, Gorman, Brice, Smith, W hue of California, Murphy, MePhersob and Gibson. The last two should be added, but Hith a qualification. Mr. McPherson is willing to do all iu his power to iaerease tariff taxes in the committee room, but be has made too many ti>eeches in favor of tariff retbrm on the stump and the Senate chamber to nermit him to vote Bgaiast such a half-way measure as that which has been presented to the t^uate, Mr. Gibson is nutfirally and rightly a»Bumed to be undtr the control of his leader Mr. Gorman, but he has no personal inter esu that would induce him to fly in the face bf his parly’s pledges. The two Louisiana freuators are omitted from this list because they are protacuonists only so far as sugar IS concerned, and are supposed to be satisfied with that schedule as it is now arranged. Gorman, Brice, teaiitfa, White and Murphy are protectionists because of their own or their constitnents’ pecuniary inttresto Hill IB against the bill for politic* TTiere are forcy-four Democratic Senators, thirtj eight Renublicans and three Populists. There are three vatancies Two of the Populists, Allen and Kyle, a ill vote for the bill. Peiler i* doubtful. Lntil he i oined the third party movement he was a lepubiicjin and a protectionist. Assuming that he remains a protectionist, the division on party hue* would be forty six for the bill and thirty-nine against. If the eight Democrats named vote with the other proteetioDuts, the vote will stand thirtv-eight tor the bill and forty-seven against. If Hill and the five Democrats who are protectionists on principle or from interest vote against the bill, the vqte will stand forty for the bill and forty-hve against. The Democrats, including Allen and Kyle, can lose only three votes and carry the bill W hat are the chances? The chances are that the party wiiL succeed in forcing its protectionist minority -into line It will certainly do this if its press and its honest men in Congress deal with the traders as they deserve. If every knavish effort that 18 made oy them to'deteat the bill by delay or tricky amendment is exposed, and the responsibility definitely fixed, every one of these Senators, with Ihe possible exception of Hill, will vote for the bill The most dangerous amendment that is likely to*be offered will provide that sugar shall be*on the free list. Every Deraocratio Senator who votes for this amendment, which will probably be oftered by a Hepnblican, wul do ao tor the purpose of seruring the iiegaUVe votes of the two Louisiana Senators, and of Mr Allen, who represents a beetsugar State, on the final pasiage of the bill. In company with these the five protection Democrats would feel more comfortable and more courageous 1 he sugar amendment disposed of, Mr. Gorman will not dare oppose hi* personal interests to the vigorously expressed demands of hts party. He has political ambitions which possibly can not be gratihed at all, but which certainly have no chance of fruition without the support of the South, and the South remains true to the cause of tariff reform. Moreover, the Maryland Legislature has not passed the resolutions pending before it eulogizing Mr. Gorman for his stand in behalf of protection Gibson will follow him. 8mitli ,^nd Muiphv are regular party men, and when Gorman deserts the protection side they, too, will follow. Brioe will not remain to wage a losing fight on his own party. McPherson s attitude has already been explained He will vote for any bill that IS finally presented bite, of California, has obuunefi all that he can from the committee, and will doubtlsM argue that if he vot * fur the bill, utter looking after fruit, wine and sugar, he will gratify both parties in his State. This leave* Mr, Hill alone. \V ill he be the solitary Democrat to vote against the bill, especially in the lace ot the charge that bis vote IS cast in oonseqnenie of a bargain by which be secured Republican voks against the confirmation of Mr. Peckham ami Mr. Hornbiower'' \V hetlier he does or not, the bill 18 liktlj to pas* but even if i4 dues pass, the Democratic party will have accomplished its puny effort lor reform with such toll, against such tnachery ip its own ranks, with such a pitiful display of inherent weakness, as to make it an object of contempt ana suspicion on the part of those who for many years have wished it well and expected much from it.
