and accurate manner the growth Of the
taste for art in this country. It's sCulp-
tural establishment was late in coming,
and when it did begin was fraught with
SO many accidents that the Congress

couraged, the public became cold and
several earnest sculptors' hearts were
broken.

that the great pedment of the west

before the completion Of his work,
which was put in place by others. II
has never been admired by connoisseurs,
and the sculptures for the middle pcdi-
ment. done by an Italian sculptor. are
still more unfortunate.
1t was due as much To the discour-
agement of Congress over these artistic
failures as it was to the necessary di-
version Of the public moneys into more
strictly practical channels in the great
building up process that was made nee
essary by the ravages of the civil war
that the completion Of the Capitol dec
Grafton was 50 long delayed. 1t is not
generally known that the middle por-
tion of the Capitol with its pedment
is not Of marble like the rest Of the
building but Is of limestone, painted
1t Is also not quite in scale to the re-
mainder of the Capitol and Is too close
in. giving the appearance of being too
much under the dome. There has al
ways been the plan to make the altera-
tions In il necessary To bring 1t into
scale and 1t may yet be undertaken.
To design. carve and erect so great
piece Of sculpture as this pediment
of Bart!ctt's requires time. 1t was four
years ago that the Congress compittee
awarded the commission To this sculptor
and it will require two or three years
yet before the figures can be carved
in marble and put in place. II is eighty
