4 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON: FRIDAY. ........... January 24, 1890, Editor, THE EVENING STAR has the fallest Lecal Cireah mere than all the other papers publisked in Washington. Hew York Ofice: oom 93, Tribune Building. What the Country Should Do for Co- lumbus. Senator Morrill is so clearsighted and so uni- formly nas the welfare of the national capital as well as of the whole country at heart that any public measure proposed by him is enti- tled to the most respectful consideration, and should be adversely criticised, whether in or out of Congress, with great diffidence. With a full realization of this, and of what is always due to the honorable gentleman, Tue Star yet can- not refrain from expressing the opinion that in offering, a few weeks ago, his resolution to Provide for the erection and locationof a bronze statue of Christopher Columbus in this city, he has wholly failed to rise equal to the requirements of the personage and occasion Proposed to be commemorated. The simple effigy of any single individual, however illustrious his character or however splendid his achievements, is entirely inade- quate to mark, as this is intended to mark, #0 great a circumstance as the discovery of a con- tinent and the momentous events that have followed that discovery; and the sum of fifty thousand dollars, which the resolution appro- Priates for the entire expense of executing the statue and providing for its foundation and pedestal, is oniy a tithe of the sum that a popu- lous, powerful, and prosperous nation like ours ought to expend for such a purpose, The erection of a statue is at the very best but an ind.fferent means of doing honor to a @reat man. Statues are plenty, and stand, alas! as often for commonplace mediocrity and obtrusive vanity as they do for the highest qualities illustrated by human nature. But little can be made of them at most, in an es- thetic point of view, and they possess a real value ouly when the form and features of the original are accurately portrayed. How far short, then, must a mere effigy, fashioned sc- cording to the fancy of the sculptor, or from scant and conflicting data, fall short of doing Justice to the great discoverer whose name must forever stand conspicuous in the record of ali the ages! Obviously, the most fitting form of honoring the memory of so great a historical character and his unmatched achievement is a magniti- | cent colossal arch, constructed of enduring ma- | terial, and enriched with sculptures and carved panels, which would at once tell the story Ought to be told and illustrate the gratitude aud generosity of the American people. A} creation like this, which ought to take many years of time and a million dollars, if need be, is perhaps too much to hope for in this sge of utilitarianism and narrow legislation, But} nothing less ought to be accepted or thought of | in its stead than a massive and splendid monn- | mental structure, which, though less imposing | im appearane> than an arch, and lees formid- | able sa to time and cost, could be made, if | properly treated. hardly less significant and | expressive in the lesson tobe conveyed. Of | this structure Columbus should of course be the chief and crowning feature; but those who | held up his hands in his apparently hopeless | undertaking should not be overlooked. It/ should furthermore be adorned with accessory emblematic figures, representing, let us say, Religion, Justice, Education, Faith, Courage, Perseverance, Liberty, Labor, and Enterprise, to each of which the new world gave anew meaning and an influence hitherto unknown: and the romantic story of his trust and daring and their far-reaching results should be told by minor symbolic figures, and appropriate carv- ings in relief or intagtio. Something like this Tax Stax thinks ought to be set up in some suitable place in the national capital Some- thing like this it is sure the country would not only approve, but would demand, if an oppor- tunity for the expression of opinion were af- forded This proposition, It is proper to add here, is no new fancy on the part of Tux Sran. It ag- itated the matter in the same spirit several Years ago, as will be seen by the article re- printed im another column from the issue of the paper dated November 7, 1383, And hardly less objectionable than the statue ‘Mr. Morrill proposes to erect is the place chosen for it by,the terms of the resolution authoriz- ing ite erection, ie., the site now oceupied by the Peace Monument, in the center of Pennsyl- Vania avenue, at the west front of the Capitol grounds. That is not a proper place for such @ monument as Columbus and the Discovery of the New World should have, nor for eny monument or statue. The Peace Monument now there, and the Garfield statue, occupying @ corresponding position in Maryland avenue, should both be removed and those spaces left open and clear, with nothing in or about them to interfere with the vista leading up to tho maguificeut capitol building itself, which must always dominate and dwarf anything set up in & position to compel comparison. Perhaps the place for a cemeterial group Monument would be in some elevated but quiet spot in the grounds at Ar- lington; and for the Garfield statue a far more suitable place than its present site could easily be found, whether considered on its own ac- count or with « view to fitting surroundings, Bat, whatever disposition of these groups might be regarded as wise,{ucither of them should be aliowed to remain where it now is, As for the proposed Columbus Monument itself, perhaps the best place for a structure such as it ought to be would be in the center of the great circle in the park lying between the Executive mansion and the Washington monu- ment, With a suitable but slight elevation of the ground Jeading up to its base, to be reached by well-paved but narrow and unobtrusive path- ways, this situation would be a worthy location for such a monument as its object demands, and the monument itself would be worthy the position accorded it —Another suggestion Tar Srsn ventures to make, while on the subject of location for mon- uments, statues, etc. It respectfully submits that the proper place for the new monument shortly to be set up here in honor of La Fayette and his compatriots is the site now occupied by the Jackson Statue, in La Fayette Square. Ex- cept the Washington Monument the LaFeyette memorial will be the most imposing in the city, as it will also be very much the finest, in an ar- tistie point of view. Aside, therefore, fromthe obvious propriety of placing it in the square bearing the name of the chief figure of the group, the prominence and accessibility of that jocality entitle it to a more important adorn- ment that the statue now there, while the new monument ought to have a place commensurate in size, location and surroundings with its high character as a work of art and the purpose it is intended to serve. As for the Jackson, it might well be transferred to Dupont Circle, as a substitute for the stand- ing figure now there, which is not of sufficient consequence in size and character for the large space devoted to it, nor in keeping with its fue enviroument, It would appear to much better advantage in asmalier space, while the Circle itwelf would be vastly improved by the substitution of a larger work. If it be urged against these proposed changes that they should or might involve changing the name of the Circle, the answer is that there would be no objection to that MePherson Square was formerly called Scott Square, and the change was made withont confusion or ob- jection, But, even should the present name of “Dupont” be retained, there would be no greater anomaly in having the figure of another and greater hero in its center than there is in baving the statue of Jackson in @ sqyare bear- ing the name of Le Fayette. enemy, Mews Suozs BURT'S.
