Show Polish Persecutions. Great indignation is felt among the sculptors and art dealers of Warsaw over a recent rescript of the police of that city. The guardians of the peace, in obedience to orders from St. Petersburg, Peters-burg, visited all the stores and studios and destroyed all the busts of the Polish Pol-ish heroes, Thaddena Kosciusko and Josef Powniatowski, which they could find. All sculptors in the city were obliged to send a written communication communica-tion to the city officials promising not to make busts or statues of the two men in the future. This is one way Russia has adopted of trying to suppress the Polish national spirit. It is not probable, proba-ble, however, that it will accomplish j its purpose. Warsaw Letter. |
