CLEVELAND PORTRAIT.

In several states and cities movements are
beins started for tributes to Grover Cleveland,
and doubtless IN due time there will be erected
more than one suitable memorial Of his charac-
fer and achievements. There is one memorial
which we have not seen proposed Dnt which,
,hough by no means TO be suggested as COM
r,Ia+a and adequate expression OF New York's
annrectation of her distinguished son, would be
singularly appropriate and is, indeed, called
for by the demands of propriety. That is

as the work of Americas greatest preacher,
who for seven wears has used the White House In
the spirit of the odtme prophets to apply the
moral law TO the great American corporation The
practical result of this teachfg is revival of the
sense of ethical responsibility deep that neither
the great political parties dares nominate man
for the Presidency who is not known to be teach
er of righteousness.

THE RESTORERS.

The German Kaiser can scarcely be viewing
with perfect composure the storm WHICH the
Grand Duke of Baden has raised by his recent
order for the restoration of HeideberSs IA
nous SchIoss His majesty may read in the
loud complaints of his polite subjects protest
against a fashion which he himself has just
set amid blare of horns and glitter of ancient
armor. Two months have not Yet passed since
the Kaiser celebrated with much pomp the COM
pleted restoration of his beautiful old castle at
IIohkonigsberg in lower Alsace. On that occa-
sion there was endless SchtrGrmerei over the
romantic idea and its successful execution. But
hardly a decent interval having passed since the
gentlemen of German courts clambered out OIL
ancestral arnlor with a sigh of reifef, the OFT
discussed and now earnestly revived project TO
repafr the Neckar's glorious monument is
branded as latter day vandalism. If the Kaiser
suspects that the unanimous approval OF the
Hobkonigsberg was not entirely sincere, he Is
only human Nevertheless, the suspicion may
be i'll founded.
On the question of restoring antiquities the
world cannot be sharply divided into two clash
ing schools of sentimentalists one yearniDg to
see hveone loveliness with the eye, the other
choosing to let each mans Imagination do the
restoring Whether ruin should be made
whole or not depends upon the probable fidelity
of the restoration. the sentiment attaching TO
the ruin as Il ruin and the intrinsic beauty or

trast with finished, we'll kept structure. st.
Sophia repaired so as TO look as if did when
.Tustinian rebuilt it, would be magnificent but'
with the mark Of the Moslem erased the church

Hohkongsberg revivi6ed does not argue either
for or against the restoration of Heidelberg =
famed castle. 1t will be great pity if. as IS

Alsatan residence is to send all the German
nobility flying after antquarians and stone
