Art, the Mother OF the Dollar.

A novel but extremely interesting
view Of art, based on a very deep and
early-laid foundation Of historic fact,
is presented by Mr.. BROOKS ADAMS in
the last number of the magazine Munich
pal Affairs. 1t is addressed TO New
York particularly. but it may be read
proftably by every city in the Union,
in all of which Mr.. ADAMS, as an Ameri-
can Of more than ordinary intensity,
is periodically interested.
Mr.. ADAMS tells us that WI are handi-
cappe1i in the great industrial race through
tagging behind u rivals in the domain
Of art" We are suffering too from the
wastefulness which art will not tolerate.
Why do Americans spend 500, 600 900
a year to see the great cities of Europe?
Mr.. ADAMS points his answer to this
question by picturing the temple Of
the Acropolis, the 9 most refined, the
most effective and the cheapest form Of
advertising ever devised" No invest
ment ever yielded " such a large return
through so long a period" 1t is to-day

aforesaid on its steps every year. The
C~arthaginians built a wasteful and vulgar
temple sheathed with gold, and Corinth
originated the beautiful columns that
still bear her name. The Carthaginian
temple persisted, but the columns Of
Corinth still stand and earn a revenue
Our own Washington was laid out upon
a specific plan a hundred years ago and
at last is becoming one of the most
beautiful cities Of the earth. II is now
the " most fashionable winter watering
place in America, and lao or $50 rich
families might well pay the interest on
500, 900, 600
YOU" says Mr.. ADAMS, addressing
this community, . can do far more for
New York than Congress has done for
Washington. You can make her alike
a financial and artistic capital, and by
so doing you will aid our common
country"
THE sun has always looked upon the
Public Library building on Reservoir
Square as n Of the city's very best in
vestments. So also of the Central
Park, and Of the Speedway. But these
are only guideposts on the road TO a
state of civic beauty which, every year,
will keep at home a larger and larger
portion of the 500, 900, 900 that used
TO take an annual trip abroad. Mr..
ADAMs's article supplements well the
recent remarks by the Hon. ANDREW
II. GREEN regarding the neglect Of plan
in developing New York.

ENGLISH WOMEN'S CLOTHES.
Oyerdrcssed Not So Much as Regards
Expense rs Quantity.

The complaint that English women are
overdressed sounds strange TO American
ears az Il has not been the general opinion
here that they were extra va giant in the
matter Of their clothes. Even when they
are alfred In the most ceremonious style
1t has commonly been said by American
critics that they usually managed 10 do II
on an outlay that would hav been i'm
possible to an American girl under the
same circumstances.
Some opinions on the subject were ex-
pressed by a woman, who. after serving
as the mana ger OF the local branch OF a
London tailor set up for herself here In
business.
English women are not accustomed 20
pay nearly so much for their clothes as
the Americans she said. And they go
to expensive makers only when they are
in a very smart set OF are very rich.
The women of the royal families OF
England set a splendid example TO other
English women In their economy Of dress
and their expenditures are very little.
Here all kinds Of women spend money on
drees. and large amounts In comparison
Will the cost Of dress abroad.
What the writer, who mai es the COM
plant meant, was, in all probability that,
the Engliah women put on more clothes
than women Of any other nation. That
is perfectly true. They can pile more
thing on themselves than any other women.
They think nothing Of wearing with an
ordinary walking suit a feather boa. usually
cockS plumes, a lace scarf and a fur tippet
II they happen to possess one. This over
ornamentation does not seem In the least
excessive TO an English woman.
English women are also likely TO put
on jewels TO the same extent. In evening
dress there is no end TO the amount Of
ornamentation they are capable of.
They put on feathers, boas, and aigrets
to an Incredible extent. English women
are overdresscd but not from the expense
Of their dress: it is from the amount of
superfous trimmings they seem to think
necessary

Of people must have sufficient transit,
whatever the esthetic sacrifice which
must be made In providing II.
Meantime the work Of general build
ing Improvement has been proceeding
at an extraordinarily rapid rate; and 1t,
too, is necessary and inevitable. The
progress Is toward better things, but
while It goes on IL makes scars and
causes DETACHMENT. The end TO which
1t is proceeding is increased grandeur
for the town and greater facilities and
o~onveniences for its inhabitants, but In
the process temporary ugliness is pro-
duced.
President ELIOT came to New York,
too, when the greatest snowstorms OF
the winter had successfully blocked the
streets, and the snow had been defled
by dust and dirt to an extraordinary
degree. Nor has IL yet been with
In human possibility to get rid Of the
unsightly mass. Herculean labor has
been expended in the task Of removal.
Moreover, the obstacles In the way OF
rapidity In street cleaning are now ex-
traordinarily great because OF the OBJ
%structions in the streets caused by the
building subway. .

and importance only by causing q de-
sertion Of the Conservatives by the
Liberal Unionists, who in the Salisbury
Cabinet had several representatives,
including the Duke Of Devonshire and
Mr.. JOSEPH CHAMBEnLAIN. Is such a
desertion likely? We observe that such
a move Is vehemently opposed by the
Spectator. which is the organ par ercel-
Ience Of the Liberal Unionists..
The Spectator says that, IL Lord ROSE
Berry desires to join the Liberal Union
lists, he should be welcomed, and, pre-
sumably, invited to a seat among the
leaders Of that body. But that the
Liberal Unionists should abandon the
Conservatives, through whose coopera-
ton alone they were enabled TO defeat
Home Rule, is pronounced absurd.
The Conservatives have borne the heat
and the burden of the battle which began
In juno, 1885, and the Spectator thinks
that II would be both foolish and treach-
orous to desert them now in favor Of a
recent convert to the anti-Home Rule
cause. II, in speaking thus, tho Spectd-
tor is expressing the views Of the Duke
Of Devonshire, Of Mr.. JOSEPH CHAM
BEBLA1N and OF other Liberal Unionist
chiefs, it may turn out that Lord ROSE
Berry has fallen between two stools.
Who knows, however, but the Specie
tor may have spoken hastily and with
out authority In this instancei At the
time when its article vas published,
Lord R~osRBERY's speech at Liverpool
had not been followed by his definite
withdrawal from the Liberal party.
He had not positively burnt his ships.
1t is possible, if not probable, that, before
taking a last ~irrevocable step, Lord
RosEBERY received assurances, not only
from many Liberal nionists, but also
from some disaffected members Of the
Conservative party, that, in their opinion,
the hour was ripe for the evolution Of a
new political organization. II he has
received no such assurances, his exhibi-
ton of independence is q rash one, and
it may be that Mr.. AsoUITH and Sir
EDWARD GREY will decline to follow him
into the camp of a fourth party. Guerrilla
warfare may satisfy young men such as
Lord RANDOLPH CHURCHILL, Mr.. A. J.
BALFoUR and Sir DRUMMoND Wolf
were when they first began their Ishmael-
lite operations, but veteran politicians
who have tasted the sweets Of power
will scarcely find anything alluring in the
prospect of isolation and impotence.
We shall soon learn whether Lord
latest demonstration is a
master-shot or a fash in the pan.

GLADSTONE, N Mr.. ADAMS terms Il, was
made at about the same time: We may
anticipate with certainty the success
Of the Southern States, 40 far as regards
their separation from the North. That
event is as certain as n event yet
future and contingent can be- Ten
months later, In Parliament, Mr.. GLAD
STONE repeated that " we do not believe
that the restoration OF the American
Union by force is attainable. l believe
that the public opinion Of this country
is unanimous upon that subject. l do
not think there is any real or serious
ground for doubt as to the issue OF
the contest Earl RUSSELL, Mr.. GLAD
STONES Cabinet associate, had declared
in the House Of Lords four months
before that the subjugation Of the
South by the North . would prove
a calamity to the United States and to
the world. and especially calamitous
to the negro race in those countries
I" We have learned said the London
STANDARD, " TO dislike and almost to de-
spise the North, to sympathize with and
cordially to admire the South The
London Times referred TO the North as

" The defeat Of the Federalists,' said a
Liverpool paper as early as August,
1851, gives unmiIed pleasure; the
success Of the Confederates is ardently
hoped, nay. confidently predicted
We do not, nor does Mr.. ADAMS, recall
these expressions Of English feeling with
any view to reviving resentment because
Of them. They were natural and inevfts-
BILE, and they harmonized with the pre-
vailing sentiment Of Europe, that the res
toration Of the American Union wa hope
less and was undesirable. Moreover, the
event has taken the sting from oil these
words Of evil foreboding. Actually the
Union is restored. Every State of the
secession Confederacy is now represented
in Congress. The whole fabric of polti-
cal theory for which the South fought
is destroyed, and nowhere else more
completely than in those States them
selves. Nothing remains except a mem
DRY, the more tenderly and tenaciously
preserved since IL is of a dead cause
that not even any public sentiment at
the South at this time has the glimmer
Of a desire 10 revive. Meanwhile in
England there has come about a COM
plete revolution OF sentiment toward
