Where Real Fight Wllf Be. The Republican congressional committee will pay its particular attention to the middle and western country, where, because of certain disaffection over the Payne-Aldrlctariff bill, they expect to have some trouble. Admission Is made by the Republican committeemen that there may be some difficulty In New England, where there are symptoms In one or two districts of a revolt against the duties imposed by tbe last tariff bill and an Inclination to doubt whether the Republican party Is going to carry out all of its promises of real progressive legislation.

How Both York. J h Can-nonis- heo-dor- h e Rear Admiral George Wallace Mel vllle, retired, was an engtneer-ln-cble- t of the navy. He was a staff officer, just as Peary is, and in bis time he had trouble with tbei officers of the line in certain ways. Melville was a. great Arctic explorer and there is no bgtty record than bis to be fousL in all the pages of northern exploration. The rear admiral was a hero ot tbe unfortunate Jeannette expedition which was led by De Long nearly 39 years ago It was Rear Admiral Mel; tille, then an engineer officer of much lower rank, who commanded one of the three whale-boat- s when tbe expedition retreated. It waa due to his care, foresight and that the boat was saved and his crew came out alive, while the crews of the other boats all went down to their death. Melville found himself finally with his boats crew on the storm-swebarrens in the northern part of Siberia. There It was that the crew rested and recuperated aa well as it could in the midst ot great privations, for some time, and then led by Melville the men found their way back over hundreds of miles and succeeded in recovering the records of the Jeannette's Journey. Congress promoted Melville for his great work, and the fact that be was an engineer officer, bolding a commission in tha staff, did not prevent hia receiving signal honor. The engineer has the rank of rear admiral. National Valhalla Wantsd. A movement is gathering force In Washington to establish a real national Valhalla. There have been so many adverse criticisms of the statues of the great ones which are now in the keeping of Memorial bail, the old room of the house of representatives in the capitol, that it may be in the future a separate building will be provided or a great room aet aside in one of the existing buildings, in which tbe statues sent by tbe states as memorials to their famous dead may be placed in a proper setting. Representative Mann of Illinois has called the present statuary hall in the tail or horrors?" nother HpHoT member of congress says that he always shuts uU eyes when he walks through the hall where the statues of the great are placed Men who make no pretense to possessing artistic instinct say that they are affected painfully wuen they, look on the marble and bronze memorials in this ball of fame. ArJsts, also, many of them without any prejudice In favor of this sculptor or that sculptor, say that the collection ol statues is little more than grotesque. Some of the figures in Memorial hall are of heroic size, while others appear to be ewarfed by their proximity to tbe others and to give the impression that tbe men whom they represent were absolute physical pigmies. Some of the statues are ot men who died comparatively recently and of necessity they are represented in the modern garb, and there is nothing in a frock coat and a pair of trousers to give enthusiasm or an imaginative chance to tbe artist It Is an invidious task to point out the differences, artistic and otherwise, between some of these memorials in this hall of the capitol.1 It can be said, however, that only a few of the states are in any way worthily represented in an artistic sense and It is not going too far to say that some of the states have picked out men for honor who certainly were not their greatest citizens. One ventures to be bold, and to pick out Illinois. The great prairie state claims both Lincoln and Grant, and yet neither one of those men are represented in Memorial hall as a son of the state. There is a bronze figure of Gen. Shields, a fine soldier and a good deal ot a statesman, but sadly enough nine people out of ten who look at the figure of the soldier have to be told who he was, and the guides are in a large measure the sole authorities on the subject In tbe capitol. Tbe other memorial which Illinois has put In the hall is a statue of Francis E. Willard, tbe great apobtle of temperance. Miss Willard's memory Is worthy of honor anywhere, but even her friends In life and those who remember her lovingly and tenderly, do not go so far as to claim that she should have the place which might have been given to Abraham Lincoln or Ulysses S. Grant Recently Idaho put Into the hall !a statue of one of its great "sons, Shoup. It Is a figure of heroic size, but It Is to be doubted If this bon of the west looking down from his window In heaven will smile with anything like approbation upon the statue which is supposes to reprebent him ae he was. There are other figures in the hall which are of towering and command ing size ail too big for the room which they are placed. On the other hand, take one of the statues which Texas has put In the hall as a memoThe figure of this rial to Houston. man, who in public mind was cast In natures heroic mold. Is small and delicate. Unquestionably it Is a work of art, but It looks, overshadowed as it Is by the statues about It. as a mera shepherd bey. GEORGE CLINTON. to-da- y d , |
