THE UNION LEAG UE CLUB EXHIBITION

1t must be difficult task for the Art Committee
Of the Union League Club to reach tho standard set
by earlier exhibitions of the year, but will be found
this month that another admirably chosen collection

younger by himself, and the Prudhon, notable ex
ample Of artist almost unrepresented in this coun
try, pictures entirely unknown to most visitors to
the club gallery and might aid that Mllets In
complete painting Of The SOwer,' and examples OF
Delacrox yibert Villegas and certain other paintings
will 10 unfamiliar.
Yet the most surprising feature OF the exhibition for
some amateurs Will be neither the old nor the modern
masters but the superb display of carved jades and
jadedtes 1t is exhibition which Is fifty called in
comparable. One case contains the remarkable col
lection Of Mr.. BraytOn Ives, another shows second
collection OF large pieces contributed by several
amateurs, third exhibits smaller specimens lent by
Mr. Garland, and there IS also q OF early aD0igl
nal carvings lent by Mr.. George +. kunz. We have
had approach to this illustration of Artistic work
In a beautiful but sIngularly Obdurate material. and
the Art Committee is 10 be congratulated again upon the

THE CITY GOVERNMENT.
The Mayoralty Election-Financial Condition
improvements, &C.

In less than a month more the citizens OF
Westminster will be called upon 10 select
CITY officers. Mayor Sehaefer declines 10
serve again, and so far no one has signited a
willingness to accept the mayoraity. As to
the members Of the council, We are not ad-
vised whether they will serve longer or not.
These positions are not desirable, and much
complaint is always made against the city
government. Taxation is low, and the money
realized Is not sufficient TO provide for the
debt, keep the streets and crossings in perfect
order and 10 maintain sufficient street lamps.
People do net seem to take this into cons'd'
Grafton when demanding Improvements or -
criticising the city officers. Instead 81 sd.
verse criticism, the people should be shanktal
that sufficient number Of citizens are willing
10 give their time and talents for the public
benefit, for the pay Is Insignificant compared
to the services rendered.
We understand that the city finances are IN
good condition; that there is no floating debt;
thai the interest on the bonded debt has been
promptly met, and that $1,000 OF the bonds
haze been retired. Substantial improvement
have been made TO streets, Sidewalks and
crossings, and some lWeniy odd street lamps
have been put up during the past tao or three
years.
There has been bat little complaint against
the present officers. and most Of the complain.
ing ones would end fault with any admins
trstion. II would be we'll. we believe, 4 the
present mayor and council were continued
They are familiar with city Affairs, and Il =
probable more Efficient set Of officials could
rot be induced to serve. The people should
take some action IN the matter. They shoaid
take pride in the city and see 20 It that capable
officers be elected; that the finances be man.
aeed 10 the honor aud credi, Of the city, sud
ihaf tie imnrovements be continued.
