THE LAFAYETTE MONUMENT.
IL Is Proposed 60 Place Il IN the South
ern Part OF Lafayette Psrk-

The plan for the location OF the Iss.vetxe
memorial printed in The SrAR of wedpe.dav
mas met with very general approval, with some
exceptions. Another meeting OF the commis-
sion has since been held and % was then psrsav
decided that the best place in the squars for
the monument Is on the south side.

around the pedestal, which IL about 70 feet
square. Col Ernst, who, as commissioner OF
puolc buildings and grounds, has charge OF
the park, 10 now figuring upon the
proper distances for the walks around the shaft
in order TO give the best possible view Of the
statues.
The matter Of the disposition TO b
made OF the jackson statue IL NOT
being very seriously considered BY the
commission. whose duties have 70 do
only with the new work. Ii 10 not regarded
as inevitable that bronze man has
square that is several sizes too large FOR him,
and LAFAYETTE Is to be put into the same Quar-
tiers on the somewhat American theory that
there Is always room for one more.
There has always been a hesitancy on the
part OF the commission about considering the
question of removing the Jackson statue on the
ground of a possible objection from the stanch
democratic admirers of the heros memory.
mat Is one of the reasons, II 10 said, Why Sec
rotary Endicott did not take very much interest
IN the site question while he was member OF
the commission, aud now the chances are thst
the present commission will 60 ahead, not
seeing Jackson's balancing form, and
put the Lafayette monument where
they think il ought TO be, leaving IL
ior Congress 10 determine, at the risk Of q Do
litical whiriwind Of adverse criticism, whether
the bronze presentInent OF Old Hickory shall
emerge from its partial eclipse or not The
COMMISSION has vaguely in mind the idea OF
some day balancing the artistic features Of
the square by the erection OF another
monument, corresponding to that Of Lafayette,
on the northern edge OF the square. In case
jackson IL still there he will be in the position
OF the middle man. Ii really looks like a freese-
out OF the old soldier for the sake OF historical
sensible and artistic necessity.
