FROM A GRATEFUL NATION.
statue Presented the French Govern
lerlt hx Ar,,ericans


= ment by Americans.
Recently there was dedicated in Paris
a magnificent equestrian statue ad
Lafayette. a gift to the French Govern
ment from the American republic.
The originator of the Lafayette mon
ument project and its subsequent pro-
moter is Robert j. Thompson. a scion
of one of the oldest and most Honorable
families in the State &c Iowa. Like
many another American student, Mr..
Thompson early developed deep and
lasting admiration for the great
French champion of the revolution, and
as a sehoolboy first conceived the
vague idea that with succeeding years
has developed into so magnificent an
achievement. He labored energetically
until he succeeded in winning to the
support of his project the President
and other influential men of the nation,
and Sept. 1, 1898. the Lafayette Com
mission was formed. In addition, he
enlisted the support of 100000 loyal
school children of the land, and in six
weeks time had received from them
$45, S5S.S0. a most substantial fund for
a beginning. On the strength of the
nucleus thus established, on March 81,
1899, Congress made an appropriation
of $4,000 to the Lafayette monument
fund, the amount being issued in the
form of specially designed coin
known as the Lafayette dollar.
The design adopted for the Lafayette
monument involves ttyo principal com
ponents, namely, the equestrian statue
and the pedestal whereon it stands. The
former will be one of the largest figures
of the kind in tSe world, and without
exception the richest. The group will
represent Lafayette in full uniform
mounted on noble war steed and
raising his sword. reversed, to the
heavens. 1t is proposed to use an alloy
of gold and silver, instead of tin and
spelter, in the bronze casting to refine
and beautify it, and to cast the entire
figure by the lost wax process-ap elab-
crate and expensive, though eminently
artistic method. The pedestal viii be

Democrats Confident.

The Democratic Congressional head
| quarters at Washington are the scene
of the utmost activity and cheerfulness.
| Since the close Of the Kansas City con
yention campaign work has begua in
good earnest. The platform is so
strong and the ticket so satisfactory
that the Democrats believe there il no
doubt but they will have a majority in
the next House. They are sending out
well-selected literature, and the whole
campaign has been thoroughly organ
ized with a view to securing the best
results in each district There are q
score of districts where a change OF
from 400 TO 600 votes viii elect a Dem
ocrat. Fortunately these are amOng
the very districts where the popular M
dfgnation is greatest against imperiai-
ism and the Porto Riean outrage.
The Republicans admit that they are
beginning to discover how thoroughly
their party Is torn with discussions
when they get into the Congressional
campaign. II was rot so difficult TO
keep up semblance Of harmony I'm
state and national conventions, nor for
that matter to secure denominations;
but the Republican committee IS APP
paIled at the bitterness on one side and
the apathy on the other toward their
policy. The tried and trusted rank and

vided between these two states Of feel

of colored marble, with rich bronze ar
chitectural ornaments, elaborate exedra
and extensive artistic surroundings.
One of the original ideas of the
Lafayette memorial project was that
the monument might be completed and
ready for dedication on July 4, United
States day at the Paris Exposition,
and for some time the work was car
ried on with this end in view. 1t soon
became evident, however, that to COM
plete the undertaking within so limited
an interval would be an utter impossi-
bility. 1t was, therefore, decided to
prepare a staff reproduction of the de-

why Democracy Should win.

Apart from questions of principle,
there are reasons connected with prac-
teal politics why the Democratic party
| should win in the coming election.
| Short of national defeat, the Republi-
can party could have met no greater
calamity than the death of the late
| Vice President Hobart. Mr. Hobart had
| no superior as political planner and
| manager, and he was eminently har-
monizer. His intellect devised and di-
rected the campaign of 1896, and New
York, where Mr.. Hobart presided, was
the real Republican headquarters.
Both on account of superior abilities
and the personal associations springing
out of a relationship by marriage to
Mr.. Hanna, Mr.. Hobart held an extra
ordinary influence over the ostensible
"boss" of his party, and Hanna was
most willing to carry out the plans
which Hobart devised.
Another Republican weakness is the
dislike for Roosevelt among the politi-
clans of his party. The war feeling
which elected Roosevelt in 1898 has
Gained down. and there is no unknown
quantity for either his Republican enc
mics or Democratic antagonists to deal
with in estimating his chances.
In 1898, there is reason to believe,
the Republican management in New
York State expected Roosevelt to be de-
feated Al least quiet tips to that effect
were given to people who had reason to
believe them authentic, and who lost
money in betting on the strength of the
information Neither Mckinley nor
Roosevelt is persona grata with the
New York Republican machine. While
it is not to be implied or anticipated
that there will be any treachery, the
defeat of the ticket would probably not
convert Mr.. Plat or Mr.. odell into
Niobe. and past experience has shown
that Governor can be safely elected
and his national associates brought
very near to disaster.
Ex-S Secretary Bliss is a disappointed
man, and this fact is the more worthy
Of weight for the reason that Mr.. Bliss
is most prominent and influential in
that wing Of the Republican, party
which has supported. or rather toler-
ated. Roosevelt OF course Mr.. Bliss
will be true to the Mckinley ticket. but
when it is remembered that RooSevelt's
proteStatlons that he would not take
the Vice Presidential nomination led
Mr., Bliss TO step forth from his arIsto-
cratic exelusiveness and say that he
would himstlf be willing to accept ii.
it is easy to snppoSe that Mr. Bliss is
not pining with anxiety to see the man
