Inc scene or this shrine to military
tame is, appropriately enough. the ma
tional capitalize city of Washing
ton, which is coming year by year to
take on more and more the character
of beautiful creation in architecture
and sculpture and landscape garden
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
ly 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 euues-
trlan. 1t 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 com
mander. The first equestrian statue

The first statue arranged for in
honor OF a warrior identified with
the Civil war was that in which Gen.
Winfield Scott is depicted mounted on
q charger at rest. This monument
was ordered in 1867. and was erected
seven years later. General Scott is
in the uniform OF lieutenant general.
The material for the figures of horse
and rider was derived from cannon
captured during the Mexican war in
which General Scott won his greatest
fame. The pedestal for this statue is
made up of FIVE huge pieces of granite
cut in Cape Ann quarries, and at the
