THE STATUE ACCEPTED.

Mayor Gregory Receives 1t on Behalf of
the City of Sacramento.
Mayor Gregory then arose and formally
He said:
To me is delegated the distinguished privi-
lege of accepting, for the city OF Sacramento,
this graceful and magnificent tribute TO the
memory OF our old friend the late A. J. Stevens.
In unveiling a statue erected TO commemorate
his life and services, we DO something more
than to exalt the memory of the man or to en-
phasize the grandeur Of his genius and integ-
rity. We indicate our respect for, and appreci-
alton of, useful employment; we celebrate the
tIiumphs of peace; we extOl the value of the
office OF the artisan; we pay homage to the
genius OF the inventor, and, above all, we do
honor TO an industrious useful and manly life.
We not only dedicate this statue to the honored
citizen, whose name it will bear, but, by it, we
commend to posterity that spirit of emulation
which encourages the hope of recognition in
the realm of useful and common things.
OF the life and services of the late A ]. Stew
ems, 1t is scarcely necessary to speak at this
time. He was one of US. We respected him in
his lifetime; we honor his memory, now that he
is dead; and the highest tribute that will be
paid to him is not so much by the statue that
has been erected TO his memory as by the re
spect, the love and the affection with which it
has been reared.
The statue, with its beautiful and life.like
proportions standing in the city of his resi-
erected out of the hearts OF those who knew
him best and loved him most and thus, while
A. J. Stevens sleeps in an unforgotten grave,
and before the floral tributes to his funeral are
scarcely withered, with one accord and with a
noble fraternal impulse, his felloH-workmen
step forth 10 perpetuate his memory by calling
in the aid of the sculptor, the artisan, the
molder, the mason and the mechanic. There
lore, while it commentaries the virtues OF a
worthy life, it proclaims with unmisIakable elo-
quence the esteem III which he was held by
those who knew him best By this act we dig
niiy ana ennoble labor. II stands monument
to the virtues of our noble friend and an imper
perishable tribute 10 the love he won. 1t demon
strates that the age in which he lived acknowl-
edged his merits, declared his usefulness, pro-
claimed his industry and crowned his memory
with loving affection. He who has achieved
these has not lived in vain. He earned all this
by plain, plodding industry.
We stand before his statue to-day and see the
tribute this community is paying him. The dis
tinetion he achieved is not beyond the capacity
OF every earnest mind.

PRESIDENT HUssEYs ADDRESS.
A Thoughtful and Interesting Essay on
the Nobility of Labor.

Thoughtful and Interesting Essay on
the Nobility of Labor.
President E. B. Hussey of the Statue As
sociation, IN rendering to Mayor Gregory,
for the city, the statue about to be un-
yelled, said:
Ladies and Gentlemen: On the 18th day of
February, 1883, Death cast his shadow over our
fair city, and We were in gloom. While this
dread agent OF Natures unfailing laws is to us
all q too-frequent visitor, yet never before did
his coming cause such universal SORROW as
when il became known that all that remained
of our beloved Master Mechanic, A. ]. Stev ms
man we loved had flown to its Creator, and the
sad duty rose up before us OF committing his
cold remains to the still colder earth.
True TO the principal of equal justice toward
all, and malice toward none; endowed with a
genius of the highest order, and blessed with a
large, warm and generous heart he had won
the respect ana esteem of our whole people.
Such men are too rare to pass away unnOtfced
and unwept. Their death is a public calamity.
What matters it to the world If a man dies
who, during his life. time, lived unto himself
alone? Does our duty as men and women
cease at that point where we are good to our
selves and kind to our families?
Do we not each and every one of us owe some
thing OF our time, energy, influence and means
to those around US? Good government, either
municipal or governmental, depends upon the
degree of unselfish, thoughtful and patriotic de
votion of the people. A community composed
in the main of people who are forever consid-
ering their own personal comfort, wholly un-
mindful of the condition or comfort of those
around them, cannot be a progressive COM
munity. Is it not matter Of fact and regret
that those who are willing to exert themselves
and make personal sacrifices for the benefit of
those around them, are in painful minority?
Can we not count upon the fingers of one
hand, aye, and have fingers to spare, the per-
sons in our city who manifest any practical in
terest in the welfare of the city and its people
who are so short-sighted, unjust, unkind and
unappreciative, as 10 ascribe to selfish mo-
tives the liberality and devoted interests of
even those few For the first time in the history
of the world the people of city are gathered
together for the purpose of Witnessing the un-
yelling by mechanics, OF the statue of me
chanic. Does it not awake in our minds an

THE STATUE.
BY Whom it Was Designed-Its Cost,


BY Whom it Was Designed-Its Cost,
Etc.
The accompanying engraving gives an
excellent idea of the general appearance of
the monument and statue as they now
stand in the plaza. The granite-work was
done by Carlaw Bros of this city, the stone
having come from the quarries at Fresno
and Rocklin. The statue which is of
bronze and nine feet in hight, was designed
by Albert Weiner of San Francisco and cast
at the foundry of w. t. Garratt d Co. in
that city. The figure stands in posi-
ton quite natural to tte deceased, and
the likeness is good. Exposure 10 the air
will bring out the true color of the bronze,
which at present is of golden hue.

E. B. Hlssey, Esq, President Of the Il. j. SteU-
ems Statue association, Sdcrunlento-MY DEAR SIR:
have before me your esteemed favor of No
vember 24th, extending to me the very comph-
mentary invitation to be present at the unveii-
ing of the monument to our late friend, A. J.
Stevens on the 2Sth inst.
l am forced by reason of previous engage
ments to present regrets at my absence. 1t
would have afforded me pleasure to participate
with you in the exercises OF inaugurating the
monument You have erected to commemorate
the virtues Of a noble and useful life. There
are many men in every calling which engages
human attention, who do not belong to it; such
men are unwilling workers, and unwilling
service descends TO the level of involuntary
servitude. Whoever enters calling or profess
sion to ennob e it that he may be ennobled by
it, enters with that spirit which is Of itself a
q arantee of success. Master Mechanic Stevens
achieved distinction in his calling because of
this better spirit. To him work was pleasure,
labor a recreation, and invention the highest
Intellectual enjoyment. What world of pleas
ure attends the life of one who has rendered
erecting monument TO his memory you do
honor to labor, and by perpetuating his men,
oIy you proclaim the truth aud teach the les
son, which cannot be too often taught, that
Honor and fame from no condition rise
Act well your part, there all the honor lies"
Again thanking you for the honor your kind
invitation implies, and conveying my sympathy
with the effort you have made to erect this
monument snd my congratulations upon its
most successful completion. have the honor to
remain, your obedient servant,
WIN. H MILLS.
A telegram was also read from B. A.
WorthiDgton, now in New York, express
ing his regret at not being able to partici-
pate II had been his earnest desire to as
sist in doing honor to ''our great friend"
A letter of regret was also received from

death OF A. J. Stevens was less n only
10 this city, but to the State and nation. 1t
was more-it was loss to the cause of
workingmen everywhere. His memory
will live through all time. The product of
his inventive genius is in use all over the
United States, and is in itself a lasting
monument to his memory. The fact that
he was so loved by all who had Iabored
with him and under his direction, showed
what loving natnre he himself possessed.
He always looked after the interests of the
men IN his employment, and that is what
makes his name so dear TO his fellow-labor-
ers. But be (the speaker was afraid his
hearers were weary of being talked to, and
were anxious to GO home and eat their
Thanksgiving turkeys. Therefore, he
would bid them good-day, and permit them
tow end their way to their dinner-tables.
