Where war prevails civilization for the time
 
  Where war prevails, civilization for the time must stand still. _Inter_arma_silent-artes_. And so long as we consider art a marketable commodity, and consign it, like merchandise, to soulless builders, so long will it remain in hopeless embryo. Only by taking a personal interest in it can we hope to make it our own. So much for what we have done. There is little to be proud of, and little, we hope, that will influence our future art. To which we now turn our attention. To begin with, great public buildings will never form a distinguishing feature of American architecture. It is to be preeminently a domestic style. Herein shall we differ from the European nations, for in art, as in politics, the people are the rulers. It is discouraging, at first thought, to reflect that no such magnificent architectural combinations as those of the French capital can ever find place in an American city. They are grand, they are superb, these endless successions of palaces and gardens and triumphal arches, with groves and fountains all in perfect symmetry, and well-balanced vistas radiating in all directions; but they are the result of centuries of despotism-of the impoverishment of the many and the aggrandizement of the few.
