THE STRUGGLE FOR uegRTY."
A Statue That Provoked tEe Di>pIeasure
 of the Car.

4 Statue That Provoked tle DiSpleaSure
 of the Czar.
 Julius Didericksen, tho Danish sculp- tor, would have gained immortality with his group, The Struggle For Liberty" if he had never done anything else worthy to survive. It k of the sort that marks an epoch ill the history of art and eliminating point in the gen. jus of the artist. It is the antithesis of the "Laocoon," of which it is inherently suggestive, and from an art standpoint is worthy to take its place beside that ancient masterpiece. One hardly knows whether to be glad or sorry that II was not placed op exhibition at the Worlds fair. Surrounded. as it must have been there, by other works that might have distracted some of the attention it de serves. the conviction is vet irresistible that it is masterful enough to have maintained its pre-emincnCc in any ar tistic company.
 It was the sculpto-s intention to have it exhibited at the exposition, and he shipped it to this country for that pur- pose. But It arrived too late and for some time lay hidden away in New York warehouse. Now, however, it has been placed on exhibition, and the peo- pie of the metropolis have an opportu- nifty to see what genius can do with a block of white marble.
 There is a story behind the statue that ought to be true. IL k said that King Christian. accompanied by his son-in- law, the czar of Russia. paid a visit to Didericksen's studio while tine artist was putting the finishing touches to the crrOuD and that the CZar was SO fOTClblV struck by the suggeStiveness of the sub iect and its spirited treatment that he wished the work destroyed. King Chris tian could not accommodate so far as that. but he secured the sculptor's prom isc to send the group Ia France or the United States. where it was supposed its influence would be less hurtful To mo- narChial institutions

Work for Everyone

How can We fnd employment for the peoplewho arc compelled live on short al- lowancr: By extending water pipes on the new streets. that you contemplate laying water pipes when you get the new water supply, or replacing the old cement pipes with iron. that you will be compelled to do next summer. This can be done without laying special tax because the city has power Ia borrow half million dollars to furnish the people with water.

A Chinese Proverbs Origin.

Hell steal your shoes is an expres sion which in China is used to describe an arrant knave and pilferer." says ex- Consul Edward Bedloe. The expres- sion is hundreds of years old and is based on an adventure perpetuated through the medium of decorated crockery ware. A wealthy Chinaman, whose gorgeously embroidered shoes were the envy of the community, was. according to the leg end, despoiled of his pride in the fol- lowing manner: A rascal one day rushed up. gave the rich man a Aearty blow on the back, and seizing the astonished gen tleman's hat pitched it upon a high wall. The next moment the. fellow seemed to discover that it was not an old friend he was greeting so enthusiastically and apologized profusely.
 "'How shall get my hatt' inquired the man with the beautiful shoes.
 "'Jump on my back and you can reach it. replied the schooner.
 "The suggestion was carried out, but while the hatless man was reaching for his head covering the rascal slipped off the handsome shoes and made away, leaving the simple minded millionaire clntching the wall"

Representative Cooper OF Florida APP
pears 20 be making an enviable reputa-
tion for himself in Washington His
speech on Thursday favoring the imme-
diate and unconditional repeal Of the
Sherman silver law, was well received
and made an excellent impression.
He called attention to one thing the
republicans persistently ignore, and that
is that after Mr. Cleveland had been the
country's chief executive for four years
"he turned the government
over TO the Republican party
in highly prosperous condi-
tion. The republicans turned it back to
the democrats in condition of depres-
sion with the country going over the f.
nancial precipice into the abyss Of disas-
ter"
The great majority of republicans as
sert upon every possible occasion that the
present financial troubles are due to the
return of the Democratic party to power
They try to make the people believe that
there is a lack of confidence in that
party.
There isn't a fair minded man who
doesn't know that the country was drift
ing rapidly in the direction of financial
disaster long before Mr.. Harrison
went out of office, and long
before the presidential election. Mr.
Foster, the secretary of the treasury,
struggled all through last winter to keep
the gold reserve. intact. He even con-
sidered seriously the question of issuing
bonds for gold to protect the gold re
serve.
The treasury was in a deplorable condi-
ton when it was turned over to the demo
Gratis. The immense surplus of more
than $50, 100000 that Mr.. Cleveland had
turned over to MIR Harrison had been
spent and fixed charges had been saddled
upon the government to such an amount
that it was doubtful whether the govern
ment's revenues would meet its expenses.
MIR. Cooper is right. The republican
party is responsible for the present de-
plorable financial troubles. If that party
had dealt honorably with the people the
country would never have been afflicted
with the Sherman silver law.
