1WBITTZK TOU THE DISPATCH.
NO. I.
' This much is certain: The Art Loan Ex
hibition, which is to be opened to the DuWic
in the Carnegie Free Library on Tuesday
next, will produce a profound impression.
No such important event in toe local field
of art has ever hitherto occurred. The revel
ation will be at once astounding and grati
fying. Almost beyond a reasonable doubt, Pitts
burg stands upon the threshold of a new era.
Indeed, the doubt scarcely exists, because,
1 while the wonderful advance in the direc
tion of art during the past few years has
been restricted to private channels, the
cause is, doubtless, that there has been no
public channel into which this interest
might flow. The presence of an earnest
though private interest is the important
fact. It is beyond question that the existence
of a healthy public art spirit in any commu
nity depends upon a moral or artistic tem
perature. If, therefore, it is shown that such
a temperature now exists, almost beyond
peradventure this Interest will manifest
itrelf in a public way, and the taste for art
win De disseminated.
NOBLE AND POPULAR.
Nothing is more certain than this.
As
Taiue aptly says, "Art has ibis peculiarity.
that it is at once .noble and popular, mani
festing whatever is most exalted, and mani
festing it to all." As we would examine
the physical temperature, in an effort to de
termine the quality of a prospective harvest,
so should we study the artistic temperature,
in order therefrom to judge of the future of
art in our midst Han is not, or should not
be, an animal occupied only in the defense
of himself and his offspring; or intent upon
the pursuit of material objects only a
hewer of wood and a drawer ol water.
For a time he may be engrossed in these
pursuits, but the intellectual wants, will,
sooner or later, assert themselves, and can
only be satisfied in the fields of literature,
art or science. Pittsburg has had its years
of incessant toil and physical effort Her
citizens, inheriting their thrilty habits from
ancestors whose strong characteristic was
evidenced by the most practical pursuits,
have been, let us aamit, engaged almost ex
clusively in the pursuit of wealth.
They have made a great and renowned
workshop of this city, and, heretofore, this
fact has been our greatest source of local
pride. Rot without a alight blush do our
people remember that the Harpers, treating
the subject of "Western art in their maga
zine, some time ago, did not deem it worth
while to even mention the name of our city,
although Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago
and many other cities received elaborate at
tention. We have not been rated as an art
loving people.
IN KAYS GONE BT.
Indeed our Scotch-Irish ancestry, with
their almost Puritanical prejudice against
whatever was considered frivolous or vain,
made a deep impress upon our communitv.
In their zeal for simplicity little care was
exercised to discriminating between intel
lectual pleasure, secured through the pres
ence of articles of artistic beauty and worth,
and the evidence of ostentations display. It
required years to eradicate the impressions
thns made. It is not many years since the
Pittsburg gentleman who would invest
$1,000 in a work of art, did it, doubtless,
feeling that he would be considered very
extravagant, if not utterly reckless. Our
people are now beginning to realise that
money is never more wisely expended than
in the purchase of good art
To-day we stand in the presence of a great
and significant fact The opening of the
Carnegie Free Library, in Allegheny, has
proven the magic touch, in response to
which our city has put on her robes of
beauty, and, adorning herself with the
choicest flowers from the field of art, takes
her place among the cities of esthetic taste.
There is only one thorn in the wreath which
encircles her brow. For these flowers she is
wholly dependent upon private loans.
Nothing thns far has been done in the spirit
of public endeavor. Nevertheless tbev be
long to the city in an important sense, and
the liberality and public spirit of the gentle
men who own fine paintings in this city, and
who have not hesitated to contribute them
for public exhibition, when the occasion
seemed proper and the purpose educational,
is the best pledge of interest in any effort
looking to art education in a broad and pub
lic spirit This is right and will always re
main true.
A COMMON HERITAGE.
. "Works of art are a common heritage. The
tnan who holds a great painting in the spirit
of a trnst ennobles himself and benefits his
followers. lam not unfamiliar with the
local art movement during the past ten
years. Nevertheless, in the presence ot the
facts developed by the Art Committee in
cataloguing the paintings for the forthcom
ing exhibition, I oonfess to a degree of aston
ishment It is not presumed that all Pitts
burg's paintings of merit are included in
the number catalogued.
It would have been physically impossible
for the committee to reach all the owners ot
important pictures in the limited time al
lowed. Only those who could be quickly
communicated with were listed. For ob
vious reasons the works of Pittsburg paint-
s were not inciuaea. it is to De in the
strictest sense a loan exhibition. Neverthe
less 140 canvases were secured.
Glancing hastily over the list of names it
Is fonnd that very many of the mot eminent
men of this century are here represented,
borne of them by as manv as four or five
important paintings. Corbt, Diaz, Sacque,
Bougereau, Moreau, Van Marcke, Kico,
Gralleron Henner, De Lort, Frere, Von
Bremen Conierre, Knight, Dupre, Israels,
Mauve, Chase, TJntbergcr, Lerolle, Sohn,
Schreyer. Landelle, De Hass (J. H. L.).
Pule, Hagaette. Perault, Harmand, Kobie.
Kammerer. Eosenthal, Hacquette. Landelle,
Catalino, Pmchart, Kanlbach, Meyer, San
ton, Berne-Belleconr, Eugler Wazuer
Detti. Millet (F. D.) Abb-y? V.bertf and
many others too numerous to mention.
THE BOLL OF HONOE.
These names are among the highest on the
roll of honor. It is agreeably significant that
140 paintings, insured for 5219,850, an aver
age of $1,600 for each paintinc, should be
gathered in one brief week from the homes
of a people who, collectively, have absolute
ly had no standing in the national art circle.
To make this, statement even stronger I will'
by permission, repeat, in part, a recent conver
sation with Mr. Blieman, a gentleman who
lias had large experience and a thorough
knowledge of the private and public collec
tions throughout the United States.
In reply to an inquiry as to the compara
tive strength of tbiB collection of paintings,
he said: "There is not a city in the Unifed
States, outside of New York, in which 140
paintings can be collected from private
owners that will compare, in average merit.
with the collection to be exhibited in Alle
gheny next week." And he added that in
New Fork there cannot be fonnd in any
collection the same number of paintings,
bowing a higher average of merit, save
only in the Vanderbilt. Metropolitan Mu
seum and Morgan collections. I donbt if
a single painting in this collection would
be refused admission to the salon. Very
many of them have been there. The reason
for the almost uniform excellence ol these
,lalntings mar be found in the fact that not
until comparatively recent years have we
been purchasers of fine works. Logically,
therefore, we have had the most recent pro
ductions of the masters of the world from
which to select
One question arises involuntarily. If it
be true that we possess an art temperature
that the interest in this subject needs only
direction, in order to manliest itself in prac
tical and efficient art education what of the
future?
No one will for a moment dispute the im
portance of art education in the intellectual
growth of a city. The importance is
ennallv as irreat in a mannfacturint: com
munity. It is by the contemplation of
strong works that the mind is educated.
A QUESTION OP STANDARD.
It is, after all, a question of standard. If
the standard in a city be low, the city is cer
tainly the loser. To be a useful standard it
must be visible. A permanent exhibition
of works ol art, including manufactured ar
ticles possessing artistic qualities,
would work a revolution in the
character of the products of Pittsburg in ten
years. In the industrial field we have been
content to make clay pots, seeing only the
utility of the article. Europe has been per
forming the intellectual work and reaping
the benefit From what source shall a Pitts
burg artisan, who decides to make a new
design for one of the many articles manu
factured here draw his inspiration ? He has
but his own workshop and the articles pre
viously deigned therein. Cut off from the
student the knowledge of the past and he
must begin at the beginning. Blot out the
existing masterpieces of art and the artist
must study the whole Geld for himself.
The educational influence of strong works
cannot be overestimated. It is a thousand
pities that the collection gathered together
to grace the opening of the Carnegie Library
cannot remain on exhibition during several
weeks at least
Now that it is certain we are to have,
through tbo munificence of Mr. Carnegie,a
magnificent home for the arts and sciences in
Pittsburg, we should see to it that, against
the time this home is ready, there should at
least be the nucleus about which may be
gathered a permanent collection of art
works which will forever exert a powerful
influence upon the character of this city.

Judge Harry "White came up from Beaver
last night, where he bad been holding court,
aud stopped at the Seventh Avenue. He
picked up a magazine containing an article
about Andersonville and other war prisons,
written by Jefferson Davis.
"I have a good notion," he said, "to reply
to that article. I didn't know it was written
until now. History must be vindicated, and
as I spent six months in Andersonville, I
think I ought to know more about the man
agement of that prison than Jeff Davis does."

NO RUSSIAN BEFORM.
George Kennnn Adds to Hli Story of Hor
rors by Telling Why the Czar's
Minion Are Relentless Not
n Hopeful Fntnre.
Chicago, February 7. Since the first
long telegram was sent from this city to-day
with George Kennan's offer in detail to
prove all the horrors that had been alleged
against administrative government in Ya
koutsk, that gentleman has been further in
terviewed on another important phase of his
subject Asked in regard to the report
lately circulated, that the Russian Govern
ment intended to abolish the sending of ex
iles through Siberia on foot, and the con
struction of a transcontinental railway for
their accommodation, with feeders tapping
the different mining districts en route, Mr.
Kennan said:
"All such announcements are merely
ruses on the part ot the Russian Govern
ment to distract the attention of the public
from the spectacle, from time to time forced
upon the vision of civilized nations, of un-
lortunate people oemg transported witu
such atrocious cruelties that humanity shud
ders at their recital.
"The constant endeavor of Russian diplo
matists is to lead outsiders to believe that a
more liberal and humane policy in this re
spect is being pursued year after year, and
to null the wool over the eves of such
organizations as the Howard Society of
Great Britain, to wnoni every credit sbonld
be given for the stand they have taken on
this subject This society will be repre
sented at St Petersburg at the coming
Prison Congress by two delegates, men of
wealth, convictions and principle, who will
strongly insist on sifting this Yakoutsk out
rage to the bottom and record their unquali
fied condemnation of the inhuman course
pursuedby the Russian Government toward
its political prisoners under the present dia
bolical adminstrative system, under which
the dearest family ties are ruthlessly sun
dered on the say-so of a mere subordinate
official.
"The number of cases coming before the
Minister of the Interior every vear pre
cludes anything but the briefest investiga
tion, he practically taking the report of
subordinates as sufficient proof of tbo guilt
of the prisoner. In many cases the exami
nation of prisoners their only form of trial
is conducted bv the gendarmes who
make the arrest This then passes up and
is docketed and indorsed by official after
official until it reaches the Minister of the
Interior, who signs it as a matter of course.
"All this Governmental red tape affords
sinecure employment for a vast number of
petty officials who strenuously uphold the
Government The day of the. abolition of
the administrative system in Russia is, I
fear, yet far distant"

We have commenced the clearing out of our winter stock, in

will begin to pour in rapidly in a very short time. And we shall want
every inch of room we can get From now on all our energies will be

Nothing wrong with the goods in question; they are in the best of

Good reliable Clothing, Hats, Furnishing Goods and

will you be most likely to find them? If you want fresh water the place
to seek it i3 where it is running constantly, not where it dribbles slug
gishly away. If you want good goods, then, you should seek them where
the current of business runs fast, so that goods don't have time to grow
stale. If you want to buy at lowest figures . the best place to buy is
where the most business is done (this is at Gusky's), for as a bank can
always loan a large sum of money at a lower rate of interest that a small
sum, so a rrerchant, who makes large sales, can sell at a smaller per
centage of profit than the firm whose sales are few and small.
