position to decency and the good order Of
society, against which the law made and pro-
yided in such cases should be operative. Will
You do me the favor, in the absolute interests
of the state, of inquiring into the matter, and
if the local officers of the law are not able 20

chief officer of the state and ask you 20 pro-
ceed Immediately TO take such decisive action
and measures as will, in future, preserve and
protect from so foul blot the escutcheon of

THE LAFAYETTE MONUMENT
Senator Bates Resolution to Change
the Site.

Mr. Bate in the Senate today made an addi-
ton to the literature on the Lafayette statue
question by introducing long resolution in
regard to the matter. The resolution first
refers to the report from the committee
on the library. in which they disavow any share
of responsibility in respect of the Lafayette
statue. the selection of site or its erection but
recognize that interruption of view of the
jackson statue must result from the Lafayette
statue if erected on the site selected The idea
of the chairman Of the committee on the IL
brary that another statue of jackson might be
placed on the square in place of the present
one is then referred to and the resolution
remarks that the entire scheme conveys an
idea of experimenting with these two statues
as does also the contingency of the removal of
the jackson statue. The resolution then con-
tinues that it be resolved that
as the statue of Andrew Jack
because of the association of that illustrious
soldier-statesman and patriot with the Execu-
tive Mansion, to obscure the view of his
monument by placing another between il and
the Executive Mansion would be to reflect on
the distinguished patriot and soldier in man.
ner not approved by the American people and
hurtfui to both monuments
The resolution then says that both statues
deserve separate distinction and appropriate
sites.
Therefore, continues the resolution be il re-
solved that the committee on public buildings
and grounds is directed to select a.
site from the many beautiful and appropriate
ones in the city of Washington on which to
place the statue of Lafayette other than the
site now selected, and further that the work in
preparing the foundation and pedestal for the
Lafayette statue be suspended until another
site for it be designated, and that this action
on the part of Congress is in no
way to interfere with the present man.
agement and proceedings in reference
to the Lafayette statue or in any way affect the
contracts and arrangements already made re-
specting said statue of Lafayette other than the
change of site and necessary cost growing out
