would be quite an impossibility in single
article, and description and representation
of three of them, with brief mention of
some of the Others must suffice.
One of the most interesting OF these, and
one of the oldest too, is Greenough's statue of
Washington, which was begun more than
half century ago, and which for many years
occupied a position in the space Just in
front of the Capitol. 1t is of colossal size. 1t
was ordered in 1882, to be placed in the CEN
ter of the rotunda, over the tomb or vaulted
chamber built for the reception of the re-
mains of Washington, two stories beneath
The statue was finished in 1910. The artist
received $4,000 while working on it, two
other bills in connection with it were paid
him. amounting to SO, 435.35 and the ex-
penses of transportation from Italy, its cree
ton in the rotunda, its subsequent removals
and the pedestal cost $4,000 more, S43, 900 in
all. The chair upon which this figure sits is
ornamented with the acanthus leaf and Ii
on's head. A small figure of Columbus and
another of an Indian chief lean against its
back. On the pedestal is inscribed the de-
served eulogy on Washington, pronounced
by Governor Henry Lee: First in war, first
in peace, first in the hearts of his country
men," The figure of Washington sits upon
this chair nude to the waist, in his left hand
a sheathed sword, and with his right hand
he points upward. On the right side of the
chair is a basso-relieve of Phoebus-Apollo
driving the chariot OF the sun around
the world thus representing in pictured ale
CORY the rising sun, the crest of national
arms of the United States. On the left side
of the chair is depicted the infant Hercules
strangling the serpent while lphiclus, his
feeble twin brother, stretched on the ground,
shrinks from the contest; illustrated North
and South America On the back of the chair
is inscribed: 'Simulacrum istud adj mag
mum Iibertatus exemplum, nee sine ipsa
duraturum. Horatio Greenough, facie bat. ~

Pennsylvania avenue there is an equestrian
statue of Washington, and where the avenue
encounters the Capitol grounds the Peace
Monument; in front of the District Court
rooms a monument surmOunted by statue
of Lincoln; little farther up the hill, close
to the Capitol is statue of Chief Justice
Marshall; at the front of the Capitol a num-
Der of fine statues representing historical
events from the time of Columbus down ::
beyond the Capitol a statue of General
Greene of Revolutionary fame, which is sell
dom seen by visitors or by many residents of
the Capitol; at the Soldiers Home is statue
of General Scott, who founded the Home,
while in the Capitol there are numbers rep
resenting heroes, statesmen and iurists. They
represent the best work of the best artists of
the world, and are an interesting and in
StrnctiYe study.

dents and devotees of the subjects would
choose with which to allude to the statuary
which adOrns the streets and avenues and
parks of Washington. Possibly the express
sion may shock some people devoted to this
subject. AT least it seems to best express in
a word the idea, that is the various huge
statues and monuments with which the city
is adorned. Washington, as is well known,
is laid out with streets running a right
angles, and avenues which radiate from the
Capitol and White House, or at various lines
through the city, with reference to the
streets. These do not run parallel with the
streets, nor yet with themselves. The result
is that they cross both the streets and them
selves at all sorts of curious angles, and as
the avenues are very wide, they give some
fine large open spaces at the points where
they cross each other and interSect with the
wider streets. These spots have been chosen
for the sites of statues and monuments of
fallen heroes and statesmen of the country.
Some of the men whose memories and faces
for most of these art works are figures OF
the men themselves-some of these
men were noted in the early
days of the country, some were
prominent in the Mexican and other wars,
and many won their fame in the war of the
rebellion, while Others won renOwn in the
paths of peace and craftsmanship or jurisprl-
dence. Ride along any of the prominent
avenues, visit the parks or Capitol and you
will see numbers of colossal statues, some in
bronze, some in the less enduring marble,
some are standing figures, some wearing the
dress of the army and navy, some with the
robes of the highest judicial tribunal, some
in the attitude of orators in the halls of
legislation, some on horseback and still
others lifted high upon shafts of marble or
granite, and few figures and monuments of
a purely allegorical character There are
dozens of these art works costly and beauti-
full but so numerous that to describe all

LAST week Methodist conference and po
litical prohibition meeting met simultaneously
in the town of Delaware, 0. DR.. Leonard, a
methodist preacher, addressed the political meet
ing, and Rev. Bishop Foster addressed the CON
ference And this is what the Bishop said
''The church is Gods specific organ for propa
eating moral and spiritual truths and life--the
governing principles and laws which are to
fashion individual character and form society
1t is inevitable that she should, indirectly, most
powerfully affect all subsidiary interests and
movements of men--commerce, politics and all
other factors which go into the life of the world
but it is always unwse, if not absolutely sim
full. that she should depart III spirit or pur-
pose from her diyinely appointed sphere. A min
lister of Jesus on political stump lifting his
voice at the hastings political issues, is a
scandal to mis- holy vocation and betrayal of
the sacred trust committed to him.

THE attenuated theory is now advanced
that the Chinese at Rock Springs fired their
keep their assailants from finding the money
that was buried under them, and which they
subsequently came back for and recovered.
This is an awful charge, and if it can be sub
stantiated they should be sentenced to death.
No man, heather or Christian, should offer
any resistance under such circumstances, and,
instead of concealing money, should cheerful
ly hand it out, with the polite regret that the
sum was not larger.

THE way to have good government is to
keep the government good. Once turn the
municipal government over to the Liquor
League, and it will require big fight and a
stubborn and expensive one, to get it back to
where it should be- The Republican party
has it's face toward reform in its best and
proper sense. No honest man can afford to
fail to give it the heartiest support It is a
war between lawlessness on the side of the
Liquor League and the decent and impartial
enforcement of the law on the other. 1t has
been said that indianapolis is we'll governed,
and that it will compare favorably with any
other city of like or greater size. If this be
true, it can be ascribed to the fact that the
Liquor League has not yet had its way. And
not having its way, it now proposes to capture
the government for itself, and to run it ac-
cording to the very peculiar and very Liberal
ideas of the league. Certain it is that if il
succeeds there will be no arrests for gambling
nor for violations Of the liquor law.

THE National Republican saws:

''The memorial services to General Grant,
held at the Metropolitan Church on Thursday
night, caused great outpouring-of the best
people of Washington. 1t was expected that
the President and Cabinet and the official
family would be present. The President ex-
cused himself for not coming The others
did not There were none in attendance, not
even bureau official from any of the depart
ments. The fact that these services were
held in the church where General Grant al
ways attended, and in which he felt a great
interest; that it was meeting in commem-
Grafton of him, and that the grafton was de-
livered by one of his closest friends, would
seem to have called for some marks of respect
for him in high official circles in the city
where the Cabinet and all the officials reside.
We have the evidence accommodating every
day that much of the mourning over the
death of General Grant was mere cant and
hypocrisy on the part of sundry leading Dem
ocrats Of the country, North and South.
Those who believe that these men really re-
spect the memory of Grant any further than
to utilize it for political purposes are undoubt-
eddy mistaken"

THE New York mugwumps who voted for
Hill for Lieutenant-governor in 1882 are try
ing, in a very lame way, to explain why his
past record was matter of no consequence
then and of great Importance now, and in so
doing admit substantially, that a very bad
man is not Objectionable in the second Office
in the State so long as the first is filed with q
great statesman like Mr.. Cleveland. The
Brooklyn Eagle says: ITO claim that Hills
vote in 1882 was an Endorsement of the man

vote for the Cleveland electoral ticket was AN

THE President is said to have told an
anxious delegation Of citizens who called
upon him some time ago for the purpose of
urging the removal of Fred Douglass from the
Office he holds that, if they would find a
respectable Democratic negro competent to
act as Douglass's successor, he would consider
him. The fact that Mr.. Douglass is still in
Office seems to indicate either that the search
has languished, or that the respectable, com
yet the organs of the Democracy are continu-
ally asserting, and with vehemence, that
colored men, North and South, make up con-
siderable portion of the party.

have him. As for Leonard, he is ambitious,
and will feel wonderfully fattered to be can
didate for Governor"
The Methodist Book of Discipline was pro-
duced, and the action of the church on the
temperance question read, and then the elk
err said
"Now, with that as goad to the Methodist
conscience, Leonard in the lead, with the OPP
portunities at the great camp-meetings to prod
them up, and then in September, before the
election, the Eve NJ z. conferences of Ohio
will meet and the army of over eight hundred
preachers will get red-hot and go out all over
the State with the cry, vote as you pray
etc., and the Methodists will follow them like
sheep into the Prohibition trap.
Now, with this plan well worked-and we
must work it, cost what it may-we must talk
nothing else; we must have every camp meet
ing supplied with the best speakers-lady
speakers are the most effective with the relig-
ious masses-with this plan we'll worked
Leonard can get from 35 600 to 40, 900 votes
From 80 to 90 per cent. of them will be from
the Republican party--say 49, 900 to 30, 600
from the Republican vote. Now, as they will
be cast for third party, they will be full gain
for the Democ rats. Now, 1 have not been
extravagant. You see. gentlemen, it will
bring us out"
Some further conversation between the two
worthless ensued, and then it closed. Mr..
Wakefield adds:
"This programme has been carried out to
the letter. The last camp-meeting and con-
ference have been manipulated as far as posi-
BILE. Everything has been done to carry out
this grand fraud, by which to steal the State
and senatorship and the control of the govern
ment by misleading the good people through
their religion and conscience And l am
asked to vote for A. B. Leonard, the figure
head, simply because [ am conscientiously a
Prohibitionist and Christian minister"
We leave this statement just where it is
without word of comment, other than to
say that it has been before the public of Ohio
for some days, and up to the present moment
it has neither been denied nor challenged
It's truthfulness stands unimpeached, as does
the character of the man who makes it.
There will be many others besides Mr. Wake
field who will ask themselves seriously, wheth-
er they can afford to vote for A. B. Leonard,
the Democratic free-whisky figure head, sim
ply because they are conscientiously Prohibi-
tionists.

great ravages of this most loathsome disease.
The truth is they vaccinate. and thus escape.
Anaccount now comes that the Fren ch Canadi-
ans have been treated to great demonstration
of formal supplication by the church for stay
of the ravages of the plague, the most sacred
emblems being brought into it. This may
serve good end in pacifying the populace,
but it is not enough, and should be supple
mented speedily by general vaccination and
other means suggested by reason and science.
When this is done energetically, reduction in
the death rate may be expected, and not be-
fore, unless victims as material should be
exhausted

THE prevailing epidemic of smallpox OBJ
tanned foothold in Montreal in April last.
During that month there were six deaths from
the disease. In May there were thirteen; in
June there were thirteen; in July there were
forty-six; in August PA, and in September
the death-roll had swelled to nearly 1000.
The great trouble seems to be, not that the
people who suffer most (the French Canadian
Catholics) are dirty in person or surroundings,
but that they were greatly prejudiced
against vaccination. This aversion to it was
greatly strengthened by the unlucky incident
of two deaths among their children, in the
early stages of the plague, from erysipelas,
resulting from the use of impure virus The
movement then to compel vaccination was
fercely opposed, and the riot ensued. The
Protestants and the Irish Ca tholics seem to

SOME of the timidly conservative newspa-
pers, which are afraid to call their journalistic
souls their own, lest the South may frown
upon them, and which were shocked beyond
measure at Senator Hoar's denunciation of
the Southern ballotbox frauds before the
Norfolk Club last june claim to see marked
advance in his position in his utterances at
the Springfield convention. The Boston Ad-
vertiser thinks his outlook is wider and his
passion more controlled. It may not be inn
pertinent to suggest that, possibly, the ad-
vancement is on the part of the mugwump
critics; that it is their outlook which has
broadened. and their tempers witch are under
better control. To the ordinary reader Sen

In a letter defending Attorney general Gar
land for his course in connection with the
telephone suit, Mr.. Rogers, the attorney of
the pan-electric corporations, uses the follow
ing remarkable language: "Three years ago
donated to Mr.. Garland 100000 stock in
the original Pan-Electric Company, which
carries with it 100000 in the pan-electric
telegraph and 100000 in the pan-electric
telephone making in all $1,50O,00O stock in
the company" Furthermore, Mr.
Garland being indebted to me not only for his
ST., 500, 900 stock, but for my efforts in getting
him appointed Attorney general, began to
feel that he was not inclined to reciprocate
the favors had done him." And this is the
