The publio of this city la a highly inter?
ested patty in the p**ooeeding9 now going on
before Justice Lawrence for the legal oon
atruction of Mr. Tilden's will. It seems un?
fortunate, to put it mildly, that his noble in?
tentions for the permanent benefit of the pub?
lio should be interfered with by persons to
whom he had already been generous, whose
relation to him was indirect, and whom he
provided for in his will to tbo extent that suit?
ed him. even if it failed to realize their ex?
pectations. The case of this will is a fair test
of the question whether a m%n who has made
a fortune by his own efforts can dispose of it
as he wishes at his death, or whether those
whose claim on him consists of a relationship
for which he was not responsible, can step in
and defeat his desires. Of course, if they can,
wills become mere waste paper.
For a man who professes uot to care what the
lewspapors say of him, Colonel Fellows does
a great deal of whining about their criticisms
Snd comment* upou his conduct* Ile felt him?
self compelled, in beginning his address in the
Longobardi case, to refer to the fact that the
press had spoken sharply of his failures and
general demerits ss a prosecuting officer, and
he rarely makes a speech nowadays without
explaining that his detractors are either fools
or knaves. Perhaps had he omitted to call
the jury's attention to facts in his record more
oonspicuoua than agreeable he might have
saeurad the verdict against Longobardi for
which he was contending instead of a minor
conviction, for in this case, as in all that bave
?ona before, the victory is with tbe defence.
_ Longobardi was guilty of any crime it was
ti a wicked, cold-blooded murder, and tha
|uat purpose* of tbe taw ar* not served by hU
?ttwiMioa tot mere manslaughter.
ft will be pratapful liewa to the taxpayers of
Athis State thal tho Appropriation Committee of

$1,019,298, which ls $431,823 legs than tb
sum called for a year ago. We are especial!
moved to commend the economical way i
which tho committee bas done its work sine
we have observed an alarming tendency, es
pecially in the Democratic members from thi
city, to flood the Legislature with al) sorts o
ridiculous bills to get at the publio treasur**
It is gratifying to know tbat there is a con
servative force in the Assembly which cai
be relied upon to defeat these wretchc<
schemes. In bringing in this sufficient bu
economical bill, Mr Ainsworth has made
I record for himself and his party, and has don
J the State good service.
Mr. Parnell's appeals to the Tories in behal
' of his Arrears of Rent bill yesterday were al
unheeded, and the Government, calling to it
aid the Unionist adjunct, defeated him by i
majority of 85. It is bard to understand ii
this country, where communities speak thai
will through their chosen representatives, hov
it is possible for the legislative body of a civil
ized nation to treat with otter indifference an<
contempt the united voice of a great section
Suppose, for instance, tbat tbe Representative!
from New-England in a body demanded o:
Congress certain legislation purely local in itt
effect/*-, and esteemed by tho people of Kew
England as essential to their prosperity. Th<
defeat of such a demand would be resentec
from one end of the land to the other. Tel
the spectacle seems ever to continue in Ireland
of a nation whose constitutional spokesmcr
aro ignored, a nation ruled from without, gov?
erned by alien law, administered by alier
Judges and alien polioe. The Tories have al
along been contending that the Irish questior
is purely a land question, but they will not
even take into consideration any proposal ii
deal with the question on the plane where the;*
havo placed it_
FRVIIS OF DEMOCRATIC POLICY.
Stocks go lower, and wheat is lower, and
cotton is lower, and iron and wool arc weak.
Prices were not high when this dowmvar.
movoment began; have not been relativelj
high at any time this year. Money is not tight,
and no great pressure forces holders to throw
their properties overboard. Neither is there
any great fear of financial collapse to ind uer
sales at a sacrifice. Thc state of the markets
under such circumstances requires explanation
and Democratic polioies, Democratic inflation
of the currency and encouragement of extrav?
agant speculation, Democratic raids on indus?
try through tariff agitation, offer the only ex?
planation that has yet been found to accord
with known facts.
All necessary information regarding the ex?
pansion of circulation by tbe Secretary of thc
Treasury has been given from time to time.
.Details need not be repeated, nor is it perti?
nent here to question the patriotic motives ol
tho policy which the Secretary has chosen tc
pursue. The fact is enough, that he has added
enormously to tho circulation, and especially
to tho most dangerous part of tho circulating
medium, the small silver notes, whioh remain
in circulation longest and operate most pow?
erfully to influence local prices and to stimu?
late local speculation. In consequence, thc
country has seen the most wonderful epidemio
of speculation ever witnessed since 1837. Thc
wild real estate speculation throughout the
country, but especially at the West and South,
the desperate gambling in products of all
kinds, the creation of enormous manufacturing
establishments solely to prop up real estate
speculation, tho issue of new securities amount?
ing to several hundred millions, in part to
hasten sales of land, and the tremendous effort
mado for many months to raise the market for
securities and to keep it in such shape that
new securities offered could be marketed, have
all attracted publio attention and caused con?
servative business men to view the situation
with distrust.
Of lato there has been an epidemio of defal?
cation and of failures scarcely less discredita?
ble, resulting in nearly every case from the
speculative fever. If in some instances the
officials of firms whioh have now been dragged
to ruin did not speculate themselves, as is said
of the defaulting Treasurer of tho Stat? of
Kentucky, it has appeared in many cases thus
far that tho reckless speculations of personal
or political friends, for whom defaulting offi?
cials or failing firms had become responsible,
were the chief cause of disaster.
Unsound speculation inevitably has its reac?
tion. Nothing can be more certain in thc
business world than this. The speculation in
wheat and cotton prevented the marketing of
part of the crops available, and consequently
there are on hand large stocks which prudent
bankers no longer like to accept as security for
loans. Real estate booming at the South, and
the building of new railroads on easily man?
ufactured securities, have pushed the iron
manufacture to an expansion so great that tho
first check caused a shrinkage of 25 1-2 per
cent In tho outpnt since November 1. The
issue of securities, at a time when available
capital was largely absorbed in- real estate
operations, has m.ide the market for securities
heavy and practically helpless.
But all these influences might perhaps have
been successfully resisted by the tremendous
rociiperative power of the country, had not the
party in office seen fit, for purely partisan rea?
sons, to repeat its annual assault upon tho
tariff with unprocx_ented energy. The atV
tack not only arrested purchases in iron and
voollen trades, but brought disaster to pro?
ducers of the raw materials. Wool growers
find the prh-es lower than they can face with
hope of profits, and yet gradually sinking since
January 1. All grades of pig iron except the
best aro slowly declining, and the collapse in
ore-producing regions has already brought
bankruptcy to many promising investments in
the Gogebic snd some Southern districts, and
disaster in mining district* less distant. These
are fruits of a policy distinctively Democratic.
If the country wants a different policy, it will
have to intrust the power to a different party.
MORE FIRE-ESCAPES.
The loss of life by the fire in the El be ron
apartment-houso will not have been in vain,
if it leads to some proper legislation regarding
fire-escapes. It is a disgrace to a civilised
community that it should be in the power of
any man, as it was in the power of the owner
of the Elberon, to endanger many human lives
in order to save a few dollars. This city is
crowded with apartment-houses, gome of which
are called fire-proof, which are no better than
so many tinder-boxes, and thii is especially
true of the Ea*>t Side. The people who live in
thc*e houses, and they form a large class, de
servo far better protection from the community
than they enjoy. There is no adequate sys?
tem of inspection, owing, so thc Bureau of In?
spection of Buildings complains, to the lack of
inspectors and funds to pay them j and the dis?
cretion of inspectors, in any event, seems too
large. It opens the door to bribery, and other
endue influences. The law, too. might reason?
ably be extended. A house, four stories high,
<vith even only one family on each floor, ought,
apparently, to have fire-escapes, but the law
does not require it.
Mr. Edward Atkinson has recently suggested
In view of tbe hideous and*utterly unnecessary
loss of lit* in tba Ola In "The Springfield
Unto*" building that ? law ba passed, Baking
b | the proprietors or occupants of buildings re
r sponsiblo for any loss of life or injury to per
i son from Aro. As he pointed out, this would
0 at once result in the formation of a company
- to insure landlords against such losses, and such
1 a company would seo that every building in
f sured was provided with life-saving appliances,
? just as the fire insurance companies take every
- precaution against fire. This, he declares, is
i an entirely practicable plan, and it seems to be
1 so. What is to prevent the adoption of such a
? law hero?
i This is a subject of vast importance. There
) i are many buildings, besides apartment-houses,
j which should have fire-escapes, and haven't
! thom. There is a fair number of fire-proof
f buildings like Tub Tribunk, where fire could
| not possibly spread from one story to another,
i owing to tho floors being of absolutely firc
k proof construction; but the number of such
i buildings is much smaller than the public sup
? poses. Some one of our intelligent rcpre
i sen tat ive* at Albany?and we have some?
. should take np this question and act promptly.
| Meantime, let the tenants of all apartment
houses investigate for themselves, and if they
i find that they are not properly provided with
1 fire-escapes, let them complain to the Inspec
i tion Bureau. If the tenants of tho El heron
had done this, the owner would be merely a
i few dollars out of pocket, and human lifo
I would not have been sacrificed.
FARM MO A TG AG ES.
" The Herald" asserts that three-quarters of
the farms of New-York arc mortgaged, andi
that the cause is thc tariff. One never ex?
pects to find accurate information in "The
Herald," outside of polo interests, but igno?
rance so hopeless as this statement manifests is
discreditable even to that journal. Un the
; best otlicial Democratic authority it may bo
I affirmed that not three-quarters, but less than
j one-third, of thc farms of this State arc mort?
gaged. The lust annual report of the Caa
missioner of Agriculture, who is a zealous frec
trado Democrat, in a report on the indebted Ma
of farmers, states regarding New-York that
*** 30 per cent of the farms in this State arc
; mortgaged, ranging from 2 per cent of their
value to 100 per cent, average 60.6 per cent
of estimated value.'' It would be useful foe
] " The Herald" to devote a little of its attention.
in the winter season when aristocratic sports
are somewhat embarrassed by the weather, to a
study of facts relating to this country and it*
interests.
Regarding the cause of these mortgages, the
same official report says: " There are a large
number of farms which were purchased a few
years ago and mortgaged, which would not now
sell for more than the face of the mortgages."
The official report recognizes the fact that,
within the lifetime of any generation, tho
farms of the State generally change hands, and
a large part of them by purchase, thc buyers
mually paying only part in cash. It is there?
fore surprising to find that so small a part of
tho farms in an old State like New-York bear
any mortgages whatever. The depreciation in
value of farm lands the official report attributes
largely to tho fact that personal property un?
duly escapes taxation in this State, and tbat
wages for farm labor have been **? for several
years 33 per cent more than the business would
bear." If these facts result from a protective
tariff, "The Herald" is welcome to make the
most of thom, but as a matter of fact they do
not. The wonderful reduction in cost of
transportation from new and cheap farms at
the West is the principal cause, and but for the
great development of manufactures, providing
constantly increasing home markets for farm
products which do not bear long transportation,
the condition of Eastern farmers would be far
less favorable than it now is. But something
has also to be allowed for the changes of tariff
in 188ti which admitted many farm prod tieri
at reduced rates, and at the same time caused
general prostration of wool growing and wool
manufacture, especially in Eastern States.
?'Tariff reform." so-called, has had something
to do with thc failure of Eastern farmers to
clear off their mortgages, as one may readily
satisfy himself by comparing their condition
now with their condition ten years ago.

Thf. '1 moil has never declared the present
tariff to be perfect It ls a complex syiatom of
mechanism that has set And keeps in motion tho
diverse Industries of the country. Not every
wheel and cog- sets precisely ss the designers cx
i pected. Too much power ls exerted at somo
I points: not enough elsewhere. Inevitably, mi*>
takes snd miscalculations sro shown in thc prac?
tical operation of s tariff. at*YWR if le<rlslat*rir-j
were infallible and lt were possible to procure tho
enactment ol a perfect protective tariff for tho
' current year, it would be ccrt'in ss timi went ou
to get out of gear. A tariff needs to be con
?ttantly adapted to the progress of new industries
and to changes In the economic conditions of tho
country. The present tariff undoubtedly requires
intelligent revision by the friends of those indus?
tries which it was designed to develop. Tariff-re?
vision is one tiling; the destruction of American
Industries and the impoverishment of American
wage-earners is another.
lil'- Tm hi: Ne. was one of the first journal.) to
recommend the revision of the tariff in 1 .-*-*:_,
and it admits frankly and without equivocation
that tbe work tbat was then wisely done by a
Republican I louse needs to be repeated now.
There wen Inequalities then In the schedules that
required correction -, and so there are now.
There wen burdensome taxes to be 6_led down
then, and needles, revenues to bs cut off; and so
thero an now. If a Republican House were now
in session, the work done In 1883 would be un?
dertaken anew on the same general linea, and
it would receive at every stage tho hearty ap?
proval of Ihk Thibunk. The tariff would be
simplified and made moro equitable. Surplus
revenues would be reduced. Home industries
would not be abandoned to a ruinous contest with
foreign competition. The wage-earners would
not be compelled to struggle for their lives against
European cheap labor.* The protective diameter
of the tariff would be preserved and developed.
No industrial interest in the country would be
imperilled by the correction of inequalities and
mistakes and by a wisc readjustment of the ex?
isting schedules in conformity with tbe general
principles of Protection.
While tttt Tm ur vi: has never held that the
tariff, like the laws ot Darius, must not bo
amended or touohed in soy way, lt has always
maintained that it should be revised by the
friends and not by the enemies of Protection.
A Democratic President and a Democratic. House
bave undertaken this business in ts, very different
spirit from thst shown by tho Republican party
in 1883. They an bent upon breaking down ths
tariff and exposing the diversified Interests of
the country to destructive competition. They
sn Indifferent to the welfare of American Isbor,
which they sre seeking to degrade to the fonlgn
level. Against the reckless operations of Fri*
Traders and tariff-raiders I m. t laVKi bus taken
its stand, and it will continue until the end to
fight the battle of American industries and Ameri?
can labor against the enemies of Protection. Tbo
?riff ss lt ts may not be the tariff as it ought

protects the productive energies of the Nation

AMENDS JO ADONIS.
Messrs. Dixey, Miles and Barton, ths classical
triumvirate who direct ths fortunes of that temple
of the arts, the Bijou Opera House, have suffered
a serious injustice at the hands of hM Tkibins,
whioh we wish to repair so far as it ls in our power.
For some time past the institution of learning
referred to has been contributing the munificent
sum of ten dollars a week?oo, let us be accurate,
ten dollars and fifty cents?to Tun I UMT*Wi
treasury for advertising. We need not say that
this was an important source of revenue. Our
t-ucce***. bas depended?in a measure?upon that
$10 50. If we had been deprived of it long ago,
who knows whether The fajUeEEY would have
been what it is?one of the finest newspaper
properties in the country ? But even now> in the
day of our great and growing prosperity, the stock?
holder's cheek will pale as he reads this letter,
whioh reached us yesterday:
BIJOU OPERA HOUBE,
New.York, Karola 20. 1888.
MANAOER OF THE TRIBUNE.
Dear Slr; Pleaae wlthdra**- th* advertl*ement of the
Bijou Opera Ilona*, from your column*. Your* tea'n'j.
DIXEY, MILES * BARTON.
To this wns attached the notice printed in our
columns of the ? Pearl of Pekin", which had its
first appearance at that heme of chaste and refined
burlesque Monday evening. A clear case of cause
rind effect Messrs. Dixey, Miles and Barton pro
I posed to punish us for something we had said by
I withdrawing from us our weekly 110 50, and
' bringing the poor stockholder suddenly face to face
1 with the painful question whether, next winter, he
would have to regard his duster in the light of nn
ulster. But what was it we had said ? Had we
insinuated that there was too generous a display,
at this favorite home of the muses, of nature
adorned in the way In which the poet says it is
adorned the most ? No, this would have been a
grievous charge. Every one knows that while thc
costumes of the Bijou young women do begin late
and end early, so to speak, thc munaj'cnierit is al?
ways careful of the proprieties. No Bijou young
woman is allowed to appear without wearing at
least a bang and a smile. Sometimes, out of
scrupulous delicacy, a wink is made a part of the
costume, and sometimes, in extreme cases, a spear
is added for drapery. What I'iik TiUBiNr was
so unfortunate as to .io was to direct publio at
tention to the fact that in this piece the characters
wore real clothes. It said that this was " the
ouly completely clad affair which Bice and Dixey
have yet put on the stage.'' Again, ? Ibo costumes
are docorous enough in the main for an Arctic ex?
ploration trip.'' This was a fen rf ul blow to the man?
agement in their effort to revive the glories of clas
*ic art What dude or masher or other student of the
beautiful would caro to see " an Arctic exploration
trip." Hence the indii/nation of the triumvirate,
hence tlie withholding of our cherished $10 50.
An honest confession is good for the soul To
show how penitent we are, we are going to exhibit
our ofTcncc in full, and so we reprint here that
heartless notice, precisely as we find it thought?
fully pasted by Messrs. Dixey, Miles and Barton
on the crushing letter above quoted:

AN INTERhSTIXG DECISION.
Is a bar bill a legitimate annex to a hotel bill P
Tho Supreme Court of Colorado suys no. A few
years ago one Mr. Ilamm ran up a bill at a Denver
hotel oil the strength of a letter from his friend
Patterson, who wrote to the hotel-keeper that
he would be responsible for Hamm's " hotel
bill." The hotel-keeper presented Patterson with
a bill of $72 25, but included in the amount was
the item .H to bar, $23 75." Patterson remarked
that he had uot undertaken to be responsible
for Iliiinin's bar bill, and would not liquidate it.
The hotel-keeper explained that the bar bill was
a part of the hotel bill. Patterson was not con?
vinced, and the upshot was that thc hotel-keeper
sued him.
The court sided with Patterson. So the item
? to bar, $23 W must be inventoried as among
the bad debts of that Denver hotel unless indeed
Uamiii Comes to the rescue. Here ls a salient
extract from the decision:
These words (hotel bill) used In their general and
comprehensive sense, should be held to Include, as
pisser chai.es tn a hotel bill, only euch Items aa
would make the terras properly applicable lo nil
hotels, and this would contine tbe Items of charges In
such bill to such articles a* a hotel-keeper, by reason
of his being a hotel lte.-p.-r. ls bound to furnish his
gui-r.it. upon request. A hotel-keeper ls nol hound to
furnish his guests with liquors, elgar* or billiards, and
therefore the Including of such articles In a hotel bill
would not be expected or anticipated by one contract?
ing to pay the hotel lilli of another. The fact thst lt
msy be customary, upon fhe request of a guent, to
charge such ardrie.* In bis bill, Instead of requiring
bim to pay for the same when obtained, doe* not con?
stitute such Items a part of his hotel bill proper, tn the
legal acceptation of that term.
One Judicial decision of this sort will doubt?
less prove sufficient for the hotel-keeper who is
wise in his genere.ti'in. Finding that ** hotel
bill" ls not a tenn which is sufficiently elastic
to cover charges for plain or complex drinks he
will exercise local option so as to banish from
the bar-room those of his poorer guests for whose
hotel bills and nothing more some outsider ls
responsible. Or else he will require the Patter?
sons of the future to put it down In writing?
? hotel bill und bar bill.'' It is to bo hoped that
a copy of the decision with a blue pencil mark
calling attention to it has been sent to every
botel-keepcr in Kentucky. It is commonly under?
stood that in the hotels of that State the bar bill
is recognized as the hotel hill proper of the typical
Southwestern guest, und that the items for food
and lodging are included in the bill under the head
of " incidentals.** The Colorado judges who rend?
ered the decision would do well to keep away from
tbe sour mash country for the present.

It must havo been amusing for those who know
how Surveyor Beattie has administered the affairs
of his office to read that, through his recommenda?
tion, a permanent corps of weighers' laborers is
emploved to do the work of the department. It
is a fact of record that soon after Mr. Beattie's
appointment, backed by the argument that it
would be greater economy, he disorganized the
permanent force and started tbe innovation of
employing the laborers ? by day's work as they
should be needed." This enabled him to gratify
the County Democracy leaders in the several di_
| tricts by employing In turn some of the large
. horde of constituents who had grown tired and
I hungry from unfulfilled promises, but st. greater
: cost to the Government because of tho inefficient
I class of men employed.

i President Bayles of the Health Department is
at pains to commend Dr. Edson's energutio wurk
during the blizzard. He has nothing to say about
his own absence from the post of duty because m
lives in New-Jersey, while claiming to have a resi?
dence in town. An explanation or a resignation
should be forthcoming. The people of this city
would prefer the resignation.
Assemblyman Haggerty, of Brooklyn, wants to
have tho Excise Department bf that city reor?
ganized. It is not clear that any reorganization
is needed or that the ono proposed by Mr. Hag?
gerty would increase the department's effective?
ness. At any rate, the fact that Haggerty pro
poaes the bill ia prima faeie evidence that it is
bad. Haggerty failed as a law student, and then
went into the " coopering business.'' The sooner
ho gives up legislating and goes back to cooper?
ing thc better for Brooklyn and the State.
The sharp practice in the matter of liquor li?
censes which the Democratic Aldermen of Jersey
City would like to put into effect should be headed
off. What they aim at is to evade tho new High
License law, which goes into effect May 1, by
p'tting licenses renewed before April 30 at the
present low figure. The Legislature can easily
stop the gam.* by passing a law foibidding the
renewal of any licenses before May 1.
Mr. Connolly, who stands sponsor for the bill
to tum Central Park Into a dnving-traok, claims
that he did not introduce thc bill of his own free
will, but to oblige a constituent. He should
not be allowed to evade his responsibility in this
way. A member of a legislative body ought to
be held responsible for the character of every
measure which he introduces.

of the tnimpot signal In Beethoven's Leonore over*
turest As given In lM)_-? the closing scene was
di wn In the dungeons of the prUon. V. hen the tin!

tition these are all open and the crowd ts rushing
down Into the vaults. The Increased loudness of tbe

murder ls now passed. Years ago I had a long talk
with otto Jahn on this finale and we came to tbe con
eluAion that so much lovely mu-,lc is lost by the change
from the dungeons to the court, on the whole lt would
be better lo restore the old form.
I am glad to say that after a long period of suffering

TBE MOTT AND KEARNEY COLLECTION.
At the Fifth Avenue Art Galleries sre exhibited 13$
oil paintings which have been coUeeted by Messrs.
Jordan L. Mott snd Edward Kearney. There are sev?
eral Dusseldorf picture*, a fow from Munioh. several
studies and paintings by 'le French a tl.ti, wh-.se
presenco ls to be expected in the collections of the day,
and a few paintings which Illustrate the American art
nf several fttfl BRts, The uncertainty of American
collecting ls curiously set forth In this exhibition.
Thero are pictures which have figured In one suction
sale after another, pictures which have endured a no
madie existence for twenty-five years. As some ono
said of the much-travelled pictures of s certain arti*-,
iheso works must be able by this time to go to sales
nv themselves. Thotr wandering, which we trust may
now cease, does not necessarily Impeach their merit,
for they simply Illustrate the transitoriness of AmerVa
can collections.
Oddly enough, a study for the superb Troyon, In ths
Spencer sale, appears In this collection, with a sketch
of landscape and 6he*ep,wel) mellowed by time and ex?
cellent In color, and a large sketch called "Going to
the Fair," whleh possibly may havo been camed fur?
ther by another hand. The large Dan bl guy ls neither
complete nor distinguished by tts color, but lt shows a
characteristic swiftness, and effectiveness of treatment.
One of the small Du pres, a sketch of a road, with trees
on one side and a rough field on the othor, ls an Inter*
esflng example of the possibilities of a very simple
form of composition In the bands of s vigorous painter.
Thero are tiree pictures by Dlas, none of special con?
sequence, although mention should be made of "The
Bathers," a painting superficially agreeable In Its col?
oring, but thin In quality. Little ls to be said for the
sketch " Near Paris," assigned to Corot, or for the heavy
Rousseau from tho Seney sale, a sale which has fur?
nished also a boar hunt by Fromcntln. The " Moun?
tain Torrent In the Vosges" ts an excellent example
of Courbet's broader and more forcible manner of ren*
dering landscape, and the clover sketch of a head, by
Domingo, are both pictures of much technical and gen?
eral Interest. It will be hard for those who know th*
usual examples of VoUon's painter-like stlll-llfe work
to recognize the artist In " After the Ball." s hill-length
figure study, a cleverly audacious ** arrangement" la
bluo and white. Bosa Bonheur-s large ? Doer In the
Forest,* from the Morgan sole, a picture fairly distress?
ing In Its color.ng; Gerome's "bale of tbe Circassian
Slave," a picture of a characteristic cynicism; a little
Montloelii, and throe paintings, Including one of un?
usual site, sre to be noted here and thore along the
gallery wall*. The large Schreyer, "A Wallachia**.
Teamster Entangled in the Marshes of the Danube,"
will be recalled by those who saw the collections ol
John Wolf and the late K. ix Morgan.
French military painting ls represented by an earlier
study by Di-tal Ile, a skit misti in the Franco-Prussian
war, and studies by De Neuvllle and Berne-Bollecour.
Vt bert has come to be s constant quantity in American
collections, and his "Painter's Best" may be luro
marlzed as st least characteristic. There are two large
landscapes with sheep, by Charles Jacq. e, an early *
Van Marche, stewing the Influence of Troyon, with two
other examples, Gerome's " Interior of s persian Inn,*
two large pastels by M-rechal, and s bead of a dog,
which hmm color without relief; Bougoreau's " Resting?*
and " Venus Disarming Cupid," a landscape by Lam
benlt, and a genre by Chevet, whose vogue seems I >
have become a thing of the past These pictures, w'h
one ot Boraud's clever studies of Parisian street Ufo,
Brascassat's well-drawn cattle piece, aud various other
examples, serve to Illustrate French art. One ol
Fortuny'* followers. Fernande., ls represented by a
large painting of the former's studio. There ls a study
of a country girl, by Kuans, and there ara several ex?
amples of the painters of Bratts*, snd Dsseldorf.
Picture** by Androus Achenb'Ch. Hubner. Horbeth
offer and iho others are exhibited, which rarely fall to
show some merit, at least in drawing, although the
artificial manner of the school has been happily esti?
mated at Its true worth.
Little ls to be said sf the Amerlcsn pictures. Th-re
ls a small figure stndv. showing a feeling for oolor
rather than form, whleh wa* painted by W. P. Rab
rock In ISM Mr. Boughton is represented by aa
Inconsequet. lal figure. Mr. De Has", by a large marine.
Mr. Blerstadt by two Western scenes, and Mr. W, T.
Richards by sn errly autumn landscape. The solitary
"old muster," which ls assigned to Carlo Dolce, baa at
least tho characteristic of refined rather than lorclhls
execution. ?
