SHERMAN'S LITTLE TRAMP.
How the Figure Came to Be Placed Upon
the Statue of the General.

| the Statue of the General.
The design for the Sherman statue
submitted by j. Massey Rhind, of New
York, is very ornate. Besides having
several groups of warlike and allegor-
zeal figures about the pedestal, it has
quite an Enclosure on one side, APP
preached by short fight of broad
steps, with broad seat on each side.
The many visitors to the department
slatuary corridor to examine the vari-
Gus designs have been much interested
IN noticing small brown figure seated
on one of these benches. Everything
else is white and this figure is brought
out in striking contrast. Viewed from
little distance this figure is very ar
tistic and effective, and serves to show
the relative size of mans figure and
the proposed statue. 1t looks like a
tramp who had dropped down in the
seat to take good long rest. 1t wears
SLOUGH hat with brim pulled down,
one leg is crossed over the other, and
he is apparently reading newspaper
intently, without any fear of being dis
turbed by wandering policeman.
When one approaches near enough to
examine the figure carefully the illu-
sion disappears and he sees nothing but
some pieces of brown mud welded to-
gether apparently with but little re-
gard to the formation of legs or arms
or anything else.
The little figure was not there when
the model was first placed there, and
how it got there is rather interesting.
Mr.. Ellicott's model stands about Is
feet catercornered from the Rhind de-
sign. When it was first put up Gen.
Sherman wore regulation soldier cap.
Some one who knew Mr.. Ellicott told
him that he had made mistake; that
Sherman never wore cap, but always
SLOUGH hat. "I1l easily Ak that" said
the sculptor, and procuring handful
of mud he almost instantly trans
formed the cap into hat, which being
easily whitened conformed with the
rest of the statue.
The chunk of mud which was left he
careiessly dropped on the covered box
on which the model stood. Pretty soon
Mr.. Rhind came along, and while stand
ing talking with friend, he picked up
the mud and rolled pieces of it between
his thumb and finger. In the twinkllng
of an eye he had fashioned the little
brown tramp, which he seated at the
base of his own model. And there it
rests, serving a double purpose-show-
ing the proposed size of the statue and
what art can do with a chunk of mud.

the current in this tunnel always sets
in one direction during fine weather
over the Baluchistan plateau, and in
the opposite direction during bad wealth
er, and that these currents always pre-
cede by some hours the fine or troubled
weather in the open. Thus it has for
some time been the practice to telegraph
every change in the currents to Quetta

proved extremely useful. Hearing of
this, Mr.. Eliot arranged with Mr.. Eyer

CHARACTERISTIC or CATRON,

DELICATE Catron revealed his true posi-
tion as to statehood when he gave notice
in the house yesterday that he would
shortly move that consideration of the
bill providing for the admission of New
Mexico be postponed two years. This
surprises no one. Catron has all along
been known to be acting the traitor in
the premises. He took the sub ject up
originally solely for the purpose of ma
nipulating his own selfish political deals,
and now, when he finds that the people
have discovered his tricks and repudi-
ated them by an overwhelming vote, he
goes on to the national capital to vent his
spite by giving the territory and it's peo-
pie public drubbing. Its rule or ruin
with Catron always. Thank heaven his
race ia well nigh run.

Our contemporary concludes as follows
"The table going the rounds of the
press purporting to be the popular vote
and originally published in the New York
World, is an arrant fake. 1t gives South
Carolina to Mckinley; it credits votes to
Palmer in South Dakota, where there
was no Palmer ticket, and its returns for
most of the states, and particularly the
southern states among them Alabama,
Louisiana aud Texas-are incorrect, and,
in many eases, evidently invented, as
votes are credited to candidates, partcu-
larly Palmer, where not single vote was
received by them.
at will be January before the Official
votes in all the states are proclaimed, but
there will be practically no change from
the table given above"
1t is quite safe to assume that these
figures are practically correct. The
Times-Democrat is specialist and a
high authority in matters of this kind.
We venture to say that the returns,
when at last they shall have been off
cially promulgated, will not affect our
contemporaries statement to the extent
of one-half of per cent as regards any
of the totals above given.
Senator Chandler, therefore, makes no
mistake in his very forcible letter to the
London National Review when he says:
"That tine United States is opposed to
the single gold standard, and is in favor
of retracing in due course and with care
full regard to the national honor the steps
taken in the characterization of silver,
until both gold and and silver shall be
admitted to free coinage at the ratio of
16 to l, and made the standard money of |
the world, and the measure of the values
of the worlds proposition which
would receive the SURFACES of four-ffths
OF our voters, if this proposition alone
could be fairly presented to them, even
without debate. They have sufficiently
informed themselves to believe that the
quantity of real money and not the
money which must be redeemed in some
other money, determines the prices of
worlds commodities, that the demoneti-
cation of half of the worlds real money
Is slowly reducing prices and crushing
debtors, and that the use of only gold as
aonredeemable money is placing the
great instrument of exchange in CON-
merce upon such narrow basis that the
present depression in production and
trade will continue with occasional and
reactions for an indefinite
period, and with manifold evils to the
human race the world over"
If the wild project embodied in the
Chicago platform commanded nearly g.
