Bias Relief Grant Monument,

To take eight figures. clad in the mar
tistic and unpicturesque uniforms of the
Federal and Confederate armies, with
meager accessories and exceptionally
barren environment and to group them
80 as to express strong idea in a thor
oughly artistic manner is an achieve
ment of an artist in the best sense of the
word. That is what John Gelert, the
sculptor of the Grant monument which
is to be presented by Mr.. H. H. Kohl
saat, of Chicago, to the city of Galena,
has accomplished IN the modelling Of a
bas-relief representing Lees surrender.
The difficulties of the work which will
only be fully appreciated by followers of
the plastic art in some measure apparent
to all. And in view of the successful
handling of the material they add much
to the triumph of the artist. Historical
accuracy has been satisfied to the full.

rights case of w. w. Ferguson VS.. Ed
ward G. Giles reversing the action of the
lower court which found for the defend

as follows: Ferguson with friend, en-
tered a restaurant in Detroit, of which
Giles was the proprietor. Seating them:
selves at a table, a waiter informed
them that ..they.could not be waited on
at that table, but. if they would take a
seat at one which he designated they
would be served. This they refused,
demanding service at the table at which
they were sitting. The proprietor ad.
mitted discriminatory. between white
and Colored. people, and claimed he had
a right to make such determination.
Plaintiff brought suit..in the Wayne cir
cult court for damages, was defeated
and appealed to the supreme court.
The judgment was reversed and new
trial ordered. The court holds the Col
ored man is citizen under the consti-
tuition and cannot be- Disseminated
against in public places, and says that
the only question that should have been
considered in the lower court was one
of damages. Justice Moore writes the
opinion, the others concurring.

ness, advocate the merits of this or that
preacher. Two things are of the first
importance in order to hope for success.
The first is to make selection of
preacher who is possessed of qualities
essential to popularity. Having selected
candidate the second step is to work
for his success. Let one secure all the
ballots possible and at the same time stir
up interest and activity in others. De-
lay in securing ballots are as dangerous
rs delays in other matters. It would
worry one much to learn that his or her
candidate might have been elected by
q slight extra effort. A few votes may
be the difference between the winners
and losers. Hence the importance OF
early and persistent activity in securing
ballots. The plan of determining who
the most popular minister is, is given in
order that all may thoroughly under.
stand.
