Lee's Statue
ixtkrestino facts aboi:t mercie's
8TATUE OF LEE.
Richmond Dispatcli.
Sunday afternoon the statue of Lee
arrived here from New Yorlf.
Two flat-cars were covered with the
four great boxes containing the horse
and rider, ;wid were side-tracked ; on
Broad street near Graham.
That afternoon and all of yesterday
they were objects of attraction for
thousands.
The head is about the size of a half
barrel. The bronze is as dark as that
of Washington statue on the Capitol
Square, which, however, was as bright
as a cent just from the mint when it
reached here and was raised upon the
peuesrai.
Mercie hud his work cast in darker
metal.
Peering through the opening in the
case, which eontalLS that portion of
the rider from the saddle dp, you won
der if Mercie h: s made a likeness of
Lee. You see before you a titantio
head. You would have to look at it
from the big end of a telescope to get
tlie normal size : That done, doubtless
you would be well s itishVd, for in
sculpture of this character you must
not insist upon photographic exact
ness. The face will be sixty feet above
the level of the ground in Lee circle.
At that distance from you you will see
in Mereie's work the dignified, calm
and courageous commander of the
Army of Northern Virginia.
It is the General, not the college
president, that Mercie has made. The
lines the masterful tracings which
show our hero in his prime, not as he
was itfter Appomattox: not as he was
in his last days at Lexington.
He was handsome as a youth: he
Uvas better looking still when he was
in the old army; but the perfection of
his manly beauty was reached in the
Confederate service. Then he was at
the apex of his mental and physical
power.
So Mercie has endeavored to picture
him.
In a colossal head like this you do
not expect to see an expression like that
in a tine oil painting; but you rightly
demand the well recognized lineaments
the large, shapely head, the bro::d
and high forehead, the prominent nose
and the mouth and chin, indicative of
strength of character, 'ihe head is
bare of hat, but true to life, covered
with abundant locks of hair. The
shoulders .are square and shapely, the
breast well developed, and the General
weal's the. regulation coat of his rank,
one lapel of which is just a little awry
(intentionally so), to break tlie still
ness and painful preciseness of the lines.
hi truth, the bust seems to be Lee as
the soldiers of the Army of Northern
Virginia knew him; Lee as he was
when he tojk command of the army
before Richmond; as he was when the
soldiers pulled his to the roar when he
would have led them in their charge ia
the Wilderness; as he was when, after
the bloody defeat at Gettysburg, he
took all the blame upon himself; as he
was when, at Cold Harbor, he dealt
Grant a fearful blow; as he was even
in Apiil, 18G5, when he rode out of
the lines and met Grant and signed the
terms of capitulation Lee, an erect
dgure, moral, mental, and physical; a
model soldier and m m, a hero whose
fame will forever gild our history
1"'D-
Ml
liies.
The sword of Lee'' hangs in the
same box with his body and his eyes
seemed to rejst upon it.
It is a prodigious weapon. Not even
such a giant as the revolutionary pa
triot Peter Francisco would be able to
wield it even if he could withdraw it
from the scabbard, which he couldn't.
so, sword and scabbard are one
piece of bronze.
The rings with which it will be af
fixedjo the General's belt are. however,
not cast, but wrought.
In another box the box of boxes
for size is the- horse's (legless and
tailless) body. Lee's legs are a part of
this piece. In other is the plinth or
bronze plat form upon which the horse
will stand. In the fourth box are tlie
legs of the horse.
When Mr. Burgwyn comes to join
these several parts the plinth will be
first put in place; upon this the horse's
legs will be fastened; upon the legs the
body will go; to the body the tail will
be joined; then the body of L?e will be
riveted in the saddle.
This done it will but remain for the
sword to be attached to the belt, and
we will have Lee as represented in
Mereie's sculpture.
The work of unloading the statue
was begun yesterday. The chief tabor
is to get the big box (horse's body)
from the flat-car to the immense wagon
whi.h has been drawn up alongside it.
Tiie tires on this wagon's wheels are
six inches wide and .much over an inch
thick, anid the spokes hub', axles and
frame-work correspond in massiveness.
The next most difficult piece to han
dle is the box in which is the great
bronze platform to cover the top of the
monument. 7
The other two boxes will be easily
managed.

the Lodge bill to pass in i!s p e e it

fraudulent on its face to be adopted by
any legislative body not utterly corrupt
and shameless. There are a great
many bills pending on this great sub
ject every one infamous and I be
lieve, all unconstitutional but if the
R-'pnblican party is determined to pass
such a bill, a little thing like the con
stitution will not be allowed to stand
i:i the way. I think an election law
will p iss at this SLSsion because the
expenditure of money appropriated for
the ensuelug year will be so great that
the Republican leaders will be com
pelled to resort to fraudulent election
methods to maintain their supremacy
in the House, as they have done al
ready in the Senate. The new dependent
service pension bill just repoated to the
House will increase the annual appro
priations for pensions alone irom 55598,-
000,000 to something like $250,000,
000. The surplus is already a thing of
the past. All that Cleveland save I is
spent already. 1 look for a big deficit
next year."

The Blair educational bill is dead

stated to the people in every cam paign,
that the bill would never pass a Repub
lican Senate or House when that party
should have it in their power to permit
it to become a law. The suggestion
that the Republican party was ever
really in favtr of a sing the Blair
bill is simply ridiculous. If t!u bill

have been allowed consideration iu the
House.

because the people I here are in the

"What about North Carolina pros

'I think every Congressional district
in North Carolina will send s Democrat

and North Carolina Democrats have
too much sense to divide in the pres

"With regard to the 1epe.1l of the
tobacco tax, the Republicans of the
House have announced their in; b'lity
to do it notwithstanding repeated
promises to the couutrary. It is inti
mated t hat the tax may be reduced
from 8 cents to 4 on the manufactured
article. T do not believe there will be

a clause will be in the tariff bill per

4rclaim that Ingalls in his interview
has taken the right position 0:1 the
Farmers' Alliance; but it is because he
is cute enough to say the right thing,
anl everyone in Kansas knows that he
said it simply to fool the farmers, not
bpcansc he cares any more for the

ception is the only rule by which he
works. He never has done anything
for the Kansas farmer, but looks do.vu
on him, and if he were to the Senate
fifty years yet. he never would. Who
ever heard of him doing anything, but
he is always saying something, and
there is quite a difference. He is no
doubt laughing in his sleeves, thinking
his interview fooled the farmers of the
State, but I want to say in this he is
greatly mistaken. His eari estness for

"FARMER WADES" SHOES.
Springfield, Mo.--The colored Re
publican voters of thiseitv have begun
a vigorous revolt against their white 1
bosses because they have not given 3? tl ' "T-1" a'
them any show for ihe public ffehlS! ?tVcl , 1
and the result from nrWnfc ,n t,m
will be disastrous to the Republican
ticket tt the next local election. The
colored voters held a largely attended
and enthusiastic meeting, with Coun
cilman Alf Adams as chairman and
Dr. B. Andrew Franklin as secretary.
After ringing speeches scorning their
white political masters, a permanent
organization was effected, and all pre
sent signed the roll, and tin following
declarations of principals:
Wiiereas, We, the colored voters
of Greene County have affiliated with )
the Republican party -for the past quar
ter ot a century, and in tha distribu- I
tion of political honors, both elective
and appointive have been persistently
ignored; and
Whereas, We have time and again
demanded recognition upon the drtsis
of our competency ami numerical
strength, and in return have been sim

ters of Greene county join wh it is
known as the "Fishing Scheme,"
wh'ch means for the next six months
to obtain from all polical affiliations.
In other words, for six months to come
we will take no part whatever iu po
litical aff oirs.
2. That iu taking this step we shall
still retain our Republican principles,
trtt'xh mean equal cicil and political
rights to all dk'h, and under no con
si lerations will we affiliate with the
Democratic party.
i3. That whenever the Republican
party of Greene County returns to
these God-iven principles we will
affiliate with them, and not till then.

New York Star: The assertion ot
I the Hamburger correspondent that Im-
perial couriers have been kept busy
j Kaiser is generally received with mere
.1 . 1 I f I'
dulit
If. however, the statement be true,
it is surmised that the correspondence
has strict reference to the statements
which the ex-Chancellor is alleged to
have made concerning his retirement
which have recent been published in
the Hamburger Xachrirhfoi.
It is assumed that the Kaiser has de
manded an explanation of the allega
tions that he employed c?rtain persons
to inirigue agaiust Bismarck with a
view of getting rid of hhu, togethe
with many other statement uncompli
mentary to the Emperor which have
found their wav into tne new
papers
a 5 utterances of the ex-Chancellor.
Reliable Berlin correspondence states
that, while the emperor is winning
favor with the workintr classes, til
aristocracy is ranging itself on the side
of Prince Bismarck, and ; that some
propositions to do special honor to that
statesman are prompted by a desire to
reflect upon the sovereign who -virtually
deposed him. Ihe upper classes
feel that the Kaiser's liberal p-dicy is
endangering their power an I predige,
and deep expressions are herd of d.s
content with the Imperial progmmrne.
The Emperor, however, who combines
iu his temperament a good d al of the
obstinacy of the G -orges. With the
energy of the Hohonzollerns, is not to
be interfered with in his purpose, ami
no one doubts that he will bend the
Reiclrstag to his will.
