To the Editor of TIE EVENING STAR:
1t is suggested that the design for the pro-
posed La Fayette statue In this city be made
by a French artist. This is very good as far as
it goes. A statue by such q sculptor as Ere
MET for instance, would be an artistic addi-
ton to the capital. It would also be such an
addition to the art of the country as would be
an incentive to American artists. 1t would so
tend to educate the public in art that our own
artists would be impressed with the necessity
of surprising their ordinary work if they would
ever hope for success. few pieces of sculp-
cities would &c powerful educators of the peo-
pie and consequently OF artists themselves.
But the monument to La Fayette should be
something more than such a statue and pedes-
tai as 5000 will procure. Not less than
$3.50. 900 should this nation expend on a
monument to the memory of the man who for
Washington in the affectionate remembrance
OF the American people. AMERIcUs.
