DU MAURIER AND MORRIS

In the week that has Just ended rhe
real world-that is to say. the world of
the mind and spirit-has suffered heavy
loss. for two men have died in London
who were among the most liberal citi-
zens of that world. 1t cannot be said
that either died untimely. for both Will
liam Morris and George Du Maurier
were past sixty, and both had lived
lives Of such varied intellectual activ
tiles that they had crowded far more
Into those years than an ayera ge man
can compass in much longer life. OF
the two, the name of William Morris
Is probably less well known among US.
although his life and work were. in
some ways. the more interesting of the
two He was q poet, an artist. a de-
signer, manufacturer, a millionaire
and socialist. Inheriting large for
tune at the age of ten he was able
from childhood to follow wherever hiz
tastes led him. The artistic instinct
was very strong in him, and he Thought
that beauty was altogether the most
important thing In the world, and
that ugiiness was of all things most
hateful.
He studied first painting and then
architecture in his search for WAYS IN
which to serve beauty, but found that
neither was, for him, the appointed
way His first volume of poems was
brought out in 1858, and from that time
TO the end of his life he published fire.

cloying 1t appealed more to the eye
than TO the mind, for Morris genius
proved to be essentially decorative. and
his poems are like endless freezes
where beautiful figures pass tirelessly

THE PROPOSED SOLDIERS, MOyU.
MENT.

The movement on foot among the
the purpose Of building a soldiers mon
ument is one which cannot be too
warmly commended The ladies of the
association formed for this purpose
from the G. A. r. encampment COM
mittee have been engaged in concerted
action throughout the summer; they
have trained themselves to work to-
gether tremendously and enthusiast
cal1y; they have acquired esprit du
corps, and they are at present a dis
ciplined organization with the prestige
of most successful work accomplished.
If they undertake the task Of procuring
a soldiers monument, there is no
doubt that more suitable memorial
will be secured to the city more speed
lily than is possible in any other way.
On aesthetic grounds especially it is
highly desirable that this matter should
be in the ladies' hands Where money
is voted for such monuments by city or
state, there is, unfortunately, too often
Jobbery in the matter, and the interests
OF beauty and comeliness are lost sight
Of completely in somebody's desire to
have the design of somebody else ac-
cepted. There are altogether too many
soldiers monuments in these United
States which honor the memory of the
martyred dead only in their unified
intention, being actually pathetic me-
MORALS to the greed or the incompe-
tence of those who raised them.
st. Paul is too beautiful city to be
defaced with the lamentable, il welI-in-
tentiened sculptural mistakes miscalled
monuments in some towns, and if the
ladies raise the money and select the
design for the memorial, keeping the
matter in their own hands, the result
will doubtless be something fitting and
beautiful. an honor alike to those who
build it and those for whom it is built.

LOOP EXTENSION.
The True Point of the Question Dis
cussed.
To the Editor of the Globe.

To the Editor of the Globe
Your editorial of this morning for the first
time touches the true point of the street
car loop question. Although the interests
of the merchants and property owners on
the line of the present loop and on that OF
the proposed loop deserve consideration it
is the interests Of the general public that
should be chiefly looked to. So. in addi-
ton to what you say, wish to call atten-
ton TO the considerable inconvenience that
the majority Of patrons Of the lines using
the loop would suffer from the proposed
change. Now l admit that for people do
ing business in the wholesale district the
change would be a little more convenient
For they could come all the way without
a transfer But, by getting a transfer. they
can get as near to business now on the
cars as they could on the new loop without
a transfer, and the only advantage of
change to any one except a few owners of
real estate, would be the saving Of little
time and trouble to people going to and
from the wholesale district by doing away
with the necessity Of a transfer. But prac-
tically these people the cars only in
the morning coming down. and in the even
ing going home, and there would be no new
line built anywhere. On the other hand,
the change would be a considerable ineon-
venience to every one doing business in
the retail district, and to the public gen.
orally. For it would increase the distance
on the lines using the loop by from five
to ten minutes. But the great bulk OF the
travel on those lines, except possibly early
in the morning and evening is done by peo-
pie shopping in the retail district, and by
people in the Office district; that is, between
St Peter, Eighth Jackson and Third streets
All day people are going from this office
district on the loop lines, and to them a
loss Of from five to ten minutes in business
hours means a great deal more than the
same loss going to and from home or the
loss of two or three minutes waiting for
transfer by people in the wholesale district
With the change, every one going from the
Office retail district to Minneapolis or in
any western direction, would either have
to walk over to Eighth street, CT lose five
or ten minutes more going around the loop.

nection with several OF the Raph-
aelite poets and artists. he started an
establishment for the artistic manu-
facture of wall papers, stained glass,
tapestries and decorative goods The
experiment was made possible by his
money and successful by his business
ability, and probably the most lasting
good turn he has done the world was
in rendering possible the production Of
Burne-Jones' designs for stained glass
in a fitting manner. For himself, his
artistic accomplishment was never of
the first order, but his appreciation of
beauty was a kind of genius. His So
cialism, which was incomprehensible to
the British public in a millionaire cap
italist and employer of labor. was but
an outgrowth of his passion for beau
ty. He saw no prospect of millennium
of good taste coming to reign over the
world of commerce and manufactures
as at present constituted, and fondly
hoped that different social conditions
might produce more aesthetic life.
His poetry may not be destined to live,
but the impulse which he gave to the
development of art in decoration is one
of those influences which endure and
increase.
Du Maurier, too, was artist first and
litterateur afterwards, but he was an
artist not so much because he loved
beauty as because he loved humanity,
and his love for and interest in people
did not find it's proper expression until,
when near sixty, he wrote his first
novel. In his cartoons, long famous in
London and beyond it, we find the
same qualities which made him such
a successful romancer. Humor, genial
ity, a keen but kindly eye for human
follies and a subtle appreciation of
human excellences - these were the
qualities which distinguished him
whether he drew with pencil or with
pen
He might easily have been a greater
artist, in either field, but he could not
have been more light-hearted or ge-
NAL one and the perverse world which
loves it's lovers will cherish his men,
Dry long after it has forgotten the more
inspired work of more highly gifted
men
