TIE London News cruelty skaters the
deluslon that the Bartboldi Statue of
Liberty is the largest figure i'll the
world, with an account of several statues
OF Buddba,still standing in AfghaBistan,
which tower above the n. York statue.
The News says: These statues are on
principal road between Cabul and Balkh
at locality known as Bomian. At that
place the road passes through valleys.
with high scarped cliffs of coDglomerate
Probably about the early centuries of
the Christian era the Buddhists excava-
ted numerous caves, as monasteries for
themselves, in the rock of these valleys
These ancient excavations still exist,and
can be counted by thousands. In addi-
tion to these, number of statues of
Buddha were cut out of solid rock. Two,
at least, are still standing, and the larg'
est was measured by Capt. Talbot with
the theodolite 80 that we now know the
height to at least few inches. The
measurement gave it as 173 feet high /;
that is rather more by few inches than
the Nelson column in Trafalgar Square.
and nearly 20 feet higher than the New
York figure. This figure of Buddha is
the real Great Eastern of statues. The
celebrated Memnon statues of Egypt
would only come up to the knee of this
mighty ikon. At Bamian there is an
other figure of Buddba, 12O feet high.
These are erect, standing figures; there
is also sitting figure 80 feet high.

The election of Senators Pugsley and
Grouse, and Lieutenant Governor Kenne-
dy, to Congress, will make quite a break
IN the Republican forces in the upper
house of the general assembly. They
will probably hold their present posi>
tions, however, until congress meets, Oh
March 4, and before that time so much
of the important work of the session
may have been accomplished that ad,
journment will be possible or within
sight, which would make special cleo
tions to fill the vacancies unnecessary
The withdrawal of Senators Pugsley and
and Grouse would leave the Republi-
cans majority of only one it the senate
Senator Conrad, President pro. tenn.
would succeed Lieutenant Governor
Kennedy in the shair, but would not
lose his vote thereby.

AQUEsTI.N OF PRICES.

There are many complaints re-
garding the price of vegetables in
this city since the anti-Chinese
movement has been inaugurated.
The APPEAL is of the opinion that
the vegetable dealers will only be
able to establish atrade byselling at
low rates. They should be- con-
tent with a small profit There are
many people in the city who are as
anxious to expell the Chinese as
anybody but whose limited in
come will not permit paying high
prices for vegetables. If the Chi
nese movement is to win, all con-
cerned in it should bear in mind
that dealers must for the present
meet the Chinese in equal terms as
regards prices.
People who realize the gravity of
the situation are willing to pay
white men more than the Chinese
for almost anything, but the fact
weuld be considered by the League
that there are hundreds of people
through ignorancedo not appreciate
the gravity of the situation and
will trade where they can get the
best terms. There are men in this
city Whip are honestly and con
scientiously doing their best they
know how to deliver Ormsby county

The Republican Central Com
nittee will meet on Thursday of
this week, to consider the plan of
the Fall campaign. Several meth
DDS have been suggested in the In
terests of party harmony, and
among others the plan of allowing
the party as it votes at the pri-
maries to designate its choice for
the most available candidate for
the q. S. Senate, the candidate of
the four receiving the most votes
to take charge Of :he fight, the
othe. three voting to assist him.
This seems a fair plan and is in the
interests Of party harmony.
Six years ago the APPEAL sug-
gested this plan to the managers of
the campaign but they rejected it.
The result is well known; the can
didates spent their time cutting
each others threats, and Fair was
elected
1t is to De hoped that the men
who direct the campaign may learn
wisdom by experience, and allow
the rank and file of the
voters to have hand in the selec-
ton of a u. S. Senator 1t will
restore confidence in the manage
ment, lead to party harmony, close
up the ranks long before election.
and cause the forces to rally about a
single leader. There are now too
many waring elements to permit
Of success.
The plan above mentioned has
been opposed by many on the
ground that the Democrats might
take hand in the primaries and
f0ist the weakest man upon the
Republican party. There are some
grounds for this objection, but We
think that by proper management
the tricks Of the enemy could be
met and countered. Each candi-
date has his friends in the various
counties, and they could be in per-
sen atthe polls aad see that no Demo
crat voted, and there would be but
little trouble in detecting the cor
rupt use Of money. The result Of
the primary election need not neces-
sarily bind the candidates as
to future action, but the chances
are strong that the result would
pretty clearly indicate to the can
didates who Of the four was the
strongest man.
knowledge is power, and the
knowledge gained through this
means, sifted of all uncertain ele
ments. would enable the fight to be
mapped out with more certainty
and give the leaders a better idea
Of the ground they stood on.
We believe it would result in
the three drawing out and assisting
the remaining one against the com
mon enemy. Above all things
there must be unity Of action and
positive party solidity.
