La Fayette Monument.

In the CITY of Paris there is a convent
and garden wall. known through Vic
tnr Huro's LES Miserables. 1t is the
convent of the Petit Picpus. In the
grounds of this convent is small ceme-
ferv. where nearly fifteen hundred VIC
tins of the guillotine were buried lndls-
criminately. Here also repose the
bones of La Fayette beside those OF his
wife. who wished to be buried there.
The resting place of La Fayette, gener,,
aIly unknown and forgotten, is marked
only by a plain granite slab. Upon a
register kept by the persons In charge
of the convent there are inscribed the
names of but a small number of casual
visitors.
In view of these facts, the La Fay
cite Memorial Commission has been
formed for the purpose OF erecting a
monument to the memory of La Fayette
AZ twentieth century tribute from the
people of the United States, to be un-
yelled with fitting ceremony July 4,
1900. and thus grandly to celebrate
United States day at the Paris Expo
sition. 1t is proposed that the cost OF
the undertaking, which is estimated to
approximate a quarter of million dol
Iafs- sdaif be betrayed by small contrl-
butions. secured IN large part through
the agency of the schools of our land.
The dedication of this monument. Sc
cured and built through the efforts
mainly of the young people of America,
viii make conspicuously resplendent
our United States Day at the coming
Paris Exposition. No other country
will find such basis for the celebra-
ton of its national day in France; but
all the nations of the earth will unite
with this republic in the dedication OF
this beautiful memorial, a tribute
which shall forever mark the grave of
La Fayet.e, whose memory is consecra-
ted in the hearts of men,
It requires no argument to convince
the liberty-loving people of America of
the far-reaching value of this most hit
ting. opportune and significant move
ment. It can be made to promote pa
triotism, and emplant in the minds OF
our Young generation, from the Allan
ric to the Pacific, broader knowledge
of their country's history. 1t Is pro-
posed that the President request the
governors of our States to specially des-
irnate October 10, 1893, as La Fayette
Dav'' in every school district through
ont our land, when our children will be
told the story of our struggle for
liberty, and they may then make their
contributions in memory of their
nations self-sacrifice, enthusiastic and
gallant defender.
The following is brief recital of the
recognition shown La Fayette by our
nation in the past:
BY Congress, upon the occasion OF his
departure from America in 1884; it ex-
tended him a national farewell.
