ing that is the property of the whole
people. The statues to the victors In
the struggle between the north and
south occupy conspicuous positions in
the most advantageously located Of
the parks and circles with which the
seat Of government abounds-verdure-
clad breathing spaces which seem as
though they might have been special
1y provided as sites for just such he
roic or life-size figures. Some of the
statues are under the shadow of the
capitol, others cluster about the White
House, and yet others are placed
where they will kindle Inspiration in
the patriotic pilgrim to the capital.
Much Of the impressiveness of the
statues to the military heroes Of the
Federal armies is doubtless due to the
fact that almost all of them are eques.
TRAN. It is customary in all countries
to portray as men on horseback"
only the so-called royal personages, or
men who were actual commanders of
troops, or enjoyed the title of CON-
mander. The first equestrian statue
ever erected in the Western Hem.
lsphere, was the one of George III. of
England. which stood In Bowling
Green at tho foot Of Broadway, New
York city, and which during the war
for independence was melted up and
cast into bullets by patriotic daugh.
ters Of Miss Columbia.
The. oldest equestrian monument
now standing in the New World Is q
colossal statue Of Charles w. Of Spain,
In the City Of Mexico. The initial
equestrian statue In the United States
Is the renowned one Of Gen. Andrew
jackson, which stands in the park di.
rectly in front Of the White House at
Washington. It IL estimated that there
are 400 equestrian statues in the
world. Of which number the city ON

pletion Of the Grant memorial, q total

the attitude Of moving at slow trot.
On one face Of the pedestal Of the
monument is group representing
General Logan with other leading Off
GERS of the Army Of the Tennessee.
while opposite is group representing
General Logan taking the oath Of Of

istered by Vice-President Arthur.
All of these equestrian statues have
cost considerable sums. The General
Scott statue cost $4,000, and the ped
estal $4,000 more. The bronze figure
of Mcpherson cost $4,000. and the
pedestal $4,000. The sum Of $4,000
was paid for Wards matchless statue
of Thomas, and $4,000 for the ped
estal. The statue Of General Hancock
involved the expenditure of $4,000 all
told, and the Logan statue cost $685.

ated $4,000. AS has been said, the
maximum expenditure will be made in

$25O,OO0 will be expended.

A Quick Cat.

Some years ago the proprietor of a
hotel in southern New Hampshire told
the following story: He said that
when he was boy he had occasion
to 60 into the garnet of his house one
morning and that the family cat fol.
lowed him up the stairs. One of the
windows was open, and when they en-
tered the garnet frightened mouse
jumped out of the window, and the
cat, jumping after it, caught it in mid.
air and, whirling round, jumped back
again into the same window.

Omaha People Boycott Meat.

Omaha, Neb-"We, as wage earn
ers, are willing to assist the state and
municipalities in probing into the
high cost of living, particularly the
cost of meat, which is almost prohib-
tive.
"This agitation can best become eff
fective by refraining from eating meat
for a period of thirty days.
'If this does not bring the price
within the means of poor people, then
we will refrain from eating meat for
sixty days.
1--WE, as citizens, do hereby ask our
representatives in each councilmanic
district and legislative bodies to keep
this agitation uppermost in their
minds and actions until the result
manifests itself.
"We ask the cooperation of all peo.
pie who are interested in fair play and
the future of our otherwise prosperous
country"
The pledge, of which the foregoing
is a copy, appeared in hundreds OF
shops, stores and offices Wednesday,
and before night fully 1000 signatures
of heads of families had been secured.
1t is believed there will be 5000 be-
fore the end of the week. Organized
labor started the movement and mem
bers of the Central Labor Union cir
culated the petitions, but they have
been signed by all classes, regardless

the burden of most of the addresses
delivered at the conference of govern
ors Wednesday with particular refer
ence to the conservation of resources
and the regulation of public service
corporations.
A feature of the afternoon session
was a speech by Ambassador Bryce,
who believed the conference would en-

Burke of North Dakota, Prouty of Yer
mont and Ansel of South Carolina.
The two sessions of the conference
were followed by dinner at the White
house at night.
Governor Wilson of Kentucky de-
clared the state had the right OF con-
troll over water power and that the red
eral government did not have scin-
tilla of right to it. Governor Carroll
of Iowa said he was in sympathy with
the movement for uniform laws for the
states.

the state so far as it could. should
own and preserve them. He advocated
the development and state control OF
water power.
Governor Brooks of Wyoming, ad-
dressing the conference on the subject
OF water power, said the control of in
dustrial energy should rest in the
state.
Governor Shafroth of Colorado read
statistics to show the magnitude of
the value of the water power OF the
country and the great possibilities OF
its development. He contended that
the ownership of land by the federal
government in a state was proprie-
tary right and not political or govern
mental; that the United States holds
the lands the same as an individual
and that the government of the land
rests in the state.
Governor Hadley of Missouri spoke
on the subject of railroad legislation
He referred to the disparity in rates
for passengers and freight in inter
state traffic, declaring the charges for

property should not be left to the own
ers of the lines, but that control should
be exercised by the government.

duction of iron and steel has greatly
improved since last winter. Current
rate of production. measured by iron

October to March inclusive. Consider
ing that normally consumption is much
greater in summer than in winter. that
last winter much material was being
taken by jObbers and manufacturing
consumers for stocking purposes. while
even mills were accommodating stocks
in some instances. and that purchases
and deliveries have been restricted as

that. when production has declined SC

must have increased very materially
