Cl.KVKLAND weather in Atlanta proved to bo a deluge of rain , nnd now the Constitution of that city comes out with u bitter attack on the signal service - vice bureau. CALIFORNIA is now actively engaged in the manufacture of towns and cities. Ono ) > npor states that all that is needed to make a metropolis of one newly fledged city is a blacksmith shop , a Hchool house , a church and tome women. , \Vn still inHlst that the county com missioners aru in duty bound to conduct proceedings at stated times in a busi- nons way , and have every resolution and vote recorded immediately upon the conclusion of each mooting. The law'requires that those proceedings bo published , and there is no excuse for keeping thorn back for weeks. THE less Mr. Ballou'schampions have to say about his spotless integrity and eminent iltness for judicial honors the bettor it will bo for him and his reputa tion. The right bower of Charles Banks in his confidence games arid notorious methods of imposture has nothing to brag on in the way of spotless integrity. As to his legal attainments and judicial mind nothing need bo said. IT is now almost certain that an over lap of about fifty thousand dollars has boon created in the general fund by the council in giving out grading contract * and carrying on an extravagant amount of work under the street commissioner. This overlap , in violation of the string ent provisions of the charter , lays each councilman and his bondsmen personally liable for the excess voted , and in all probability some of those parties will be called on to make good the deficit. LAST week a school building in course of construction in Now York City fell anil killed'fivo workmen and Boverolj wounded many others. There are bo- Hides grief-stricken widows nnd children dron who must endure hardships ant poverty for years to como. All thii misery was caused by criminal negli gence. In view of the many rocem disasters that have resulted from sucl negligence , is it not time that justice wore meted out to those who are guiltj of it ? A few convictions and sentence : for manslaughter would do more t < chock those calamities in a year , thai a century of truckling censure by i coroner's jury. WE arc now approaching the end o the third month slnco tlio policy o starving the pollen was inaugurated I The citizens of Omaha have received police protection through all this time but their bull-huadod councilmen have refused to vote u dollar to the inou win have faithfully served the city. The forbearance which has boon shown b' the public to councilmen who are re Bponsible for this disgraceful state o alTalrs will soon bo exhausted , Th ( BEE once raoro admonishes the counci to cease its revolutionary course , Thcr is not another city in America whcri Bnch a reckless attempt to create dls order and incite disturbance would b ( tolerated. f Till- : decision ot the supreme couvl \f \ which declares us unconstitutional thi .provision ot the now election law relating ing to registration in motropolltai cities , does not necessarily nu llify th entire election law , or any ot its provls Ions relating to the appointment o judges of election , separation ot ballots method of countingand making out th returns , or supervision of the canvass All these provisions are in no way i conflict with the constitution , and th only question is whether the bill as whole is rendered void by some defect 1 its title , or whether the bill as signc by the governor differs materially froi the engrossed bill passed by the logish turo. It the supreme court has IH passed upon its general validity the la1 will stand so far aa it relates to ovai'i thing except registration. On thlspotn however , it uiay require luvcsUgatio by the city attorney. In ca-n the law i entirely void the county commissioner will have to stop in and carry out th provisions of the statute applying 1 ( janoral and county elections. The Kesponslblllty. 'Xho BEE scorns to have the Omaha charter bill and the election law rutUcr mixed. It accuses the opponents of tlio former of re sponsibility for the latter. 'Xho fact ia the election law passed just as drafted by the member who Introduced It. No ono else is responsible for its defects , except the lo'glsln- turo which passed It nnd the governor who signed It. Herald. The Bun has mndo no mistake in charging the responsibility for the chnotio state into which our citizens nro thrown by the free-for-all unregis tered elections on the men who tam pered with the charter and caused it to bo mutilated by the Russell's judiciary rogues. The old registration law ap plied exclusively to cities of the flrst class , which at that tlmo meant Omaha. When Lincoln became a city of the first class by procfamatlon of her mayor certifying to thirty thousand popula tion , Omaha was virtually compelled to formulate a charter that would apply exclusively to this city. Hence the now charter for cities of the metropoli tan class. This charter dragged along by reason of the outrageous interference - foronco ofa corrupt lobby until the last day of the session. Tlio uncertainty of its final passage prevented the Doug las delegation in the legislature from procuring a now registration law ap plicable to metropolitan cities. The Lincoln charter for cities of the flrst class , which was pushed to a passage ahead of the Omaha charter , repealed the old charter under which Omaha had boon workingnnd when the now Omaha charter finally did pass there was not time enough to amend or revive the registration law for cities of the first class and make it applicable to cities of the metropolitan class. The BER called attention to this fatal omission immediately after the legislature had adjourned , and it was then generally boliovcd that wo were oft without any registration law until Lho now election law was dug up , about .ho-lstof July. That law .appeared to cover our wants and would have been n the main satisfactory. The defect ivhich made it unconstitutional loaves us in a deplorable condition , and wo re assert that the responsibility rests wit i the oil-room lobby and the combine of contractors , jobbers and newspaper ad venturers , who obstructed the passage of the charter and literally had it picked iO pieces. The Chicago Bnodlerfl. The men convicted at Chicago of laving for years carried on a systematic robbery of the people of Cook county will leave no expedient untried that the ngonuity of lawyers can develop to es cape the just punishment that should bo given them. They will use all the n-occeds of their plunder if necessary , nnd as much more as their friends maybe bo willing to put up for them , in order : o defeat justice. "All that a man hath lie will give for his life , " and these men nro virtually lighting for their lives. This is their right , and there can bo no complaint if they take the fullest ad vantage of it. But honest men everywhere are to bo congratu lated upon the indications that they are making a hopeless struggle. On Thursday they were do- lied a new trial , and to-day an effort will bo made to secure an arrest of judg ment. There is every reason to expect that this also will fail , and that the final condemnation which will put an indolli- blo stain upon these conscienceless rogues will bo pronounced. Never were men more clearly con victed of crime than were these Chicago boodlors , and it would be a misfortune to bo generally deplored if , through anj technicality or twist of the law , thoj should now escape the full penalty for their unbridled rascalities. When n couple of weeks ago a stay of sentence was granted to Sharp , the New York boodler whose criminal course was no worse in kind if greater in degree than that ol the Chicago gang , the whole countrj felt that justice had boon betrayed anil rascality had won a victory. The judge who did this for Sharp canceled all his claims to public confidence , if ho did nol likewise proclaim his own dishonor , Any consideration shown the Chicugc boodlers , not most clearly justified under the law , would equally be re garded by the country as a betrayal ol justice , and would consign any judge who should grant it to a popular repro bation not less severe than is felt for the boodlers themselves. The punishmon of these men is not an affair of simpl ; local importance. The example woult bo effective everywhere and it i needed. The lesson cannot bo to strongly impressed that the man wht betrays a publio trust nnd robs the pco pie who have reposed confidence in hin and committed to him the care of thoi public interests , is a criminal less dc serving of sympathy nnd clemency thai any other class ot scoundrels known t the law. To provo a man a boodle should bo to fix upon him the mos odioua title in the vocabulary of crimi nal designations. For indeed whu other class of thief is there quite t > contemptible and debased as hovli with pretense of impregnable intcgril , secures public trust and in the socurit , of the popular confidence uses it t rob the people , corrupting aiv debauching nil with whom h conies in contact ? With sue ] rascals the law cannot deal toosevorolj and the general welfare demands th certain and swift punishment of th convicted boodlor. When this princl plo shall unlvei-hally prevail there wil be tower to punish. OHIO is having a rattling campaign and the republicans seem to bo makin the most noise. Whatever may b thought of Forakor elsewhere , it is ovl dent that ho is very popular with hi party in Ohio , nor can it bo fairly dc nicd that he Is making a strong aggrcb bivo campaign. Pouollon , the contrary doesn't appear to awaken much demc o ratio untliustubm , nnd it would scoi that ho bus disappointed the cxpccti tions of his party. That ho is not mutch on the stump for Forakor is ui questionable. It is reported that Sunr tor Shonnan is not entirely please with the drift of the political current i Ohio , and Is not disposed to lend muc further aid to the campaign , bu buch' statomouU mustbo taken wit a good deal of allowance. The assump tion of eomo that Forakor has moro in terest in Blaine than in Sherman is doubtless wholly gratuitous. Thurman will have something to say for the dem ocratic cause before the campaign ends , but the "old Roman" docs not appear to have much heart in the contest and is not likely to oxortavorygroatlnfluenco. Now that the registration law has been declared void the only safeguard against repeating nnd other frauds at the coming election In this city must bo vigilance at the polls , and challenges of all persons who uro not known to bo legal voters. THE alleged military encampment at Chicago is broken up. It was as dismal a failure as anything could bo. Its fi nances are loft in an inextricable snarl , everyone connected with it is dissatis fied and complaints are as plenty as cash is scarce. Other Imnds Than Ours. The mooting of the congress of the liberal federation at Nottingham way signalized by n very vigorous address from Mr. Gladstone , which has com manded very marked attention. In so far as it was a denunciation of the gov ernment's policy in Ireland it merely met the publio expectation , but it seems to have created sornolhing of a sensa tion in the announcement of the liberal attitude on the question of church dis establishment. In declaring that the time is at hand for action on this ques tion , so fur as it relates to Scotland and Wales , Mr. Gladstone has aroused a profound interest in quarters not greatly affected by the overshadowing political issue of which ho is the fore most champion , and in making discstab- Ishmont contingent upon a majority for homo rules appears to have introduced into the situation a now complication , the elToct of which cannot bo surely "orosoon. There are undoubtedly a great many voters who will bo won to the cause of homo rule by the promise of disestablishment , but it remains to bo soon whether the coupling of these two questions will not lese the liberal cause a great deal of valuable influence it has hitherto had. Disestablishment , not only for Scotland and Wales , but for England also , is a result certain to bo accomplished in time , nnd Mr. Glad stone may bo right in saying that news s the time , but the wisdom of combin- ng this question with that of homo rule and making the success of ono depend ent upon the accomplishment of the other is not clearly apparent. It would bo most unfortunate if such association should provo harmful or obstructive to the evi dently growing cause of the moro im portant and urgent question of homo rule. The government continues to give assurance , by act and word , that it intends to firmly adhere to its Irish policy , though it does not appear to be accomplishing much in furtherance of that policy. The recent mooting of the cabinet did not result in anything , but measures for the suppression of the na tional league are understood to be under consideration and will doubtless bo adopted hereafter. * * * The demonstrations of the unemployed people of London have been moro for midable than for several years , and have resulted in some serious acts of law lessness for which the loaders are now in prison. The arrest of these load ere has boon hailed by the press of London as the timely suppression of' a danger ous movement , though it by no means follows that such will bo the result. The ugly and menacing fact is that thou sands of ablo-bodiod men sleep nightly in the public parks of London and other cities because they have no shelter and cannot got employment. Even if legis lation could hotter the situation , there can bo no hope from that source so long as the Irish question has the field. Meantime the fooling in favor of pro tection has been making itself felt under the surface. When "fair trade" was suggested a few years ago as a substitute for free trade it was ridiculed. Now , however , it would command u respect able vote among business men and manufacturers. A reform in land ten ure would do much to chock this move ment , for it would tend to bettor the condition of the agricultural classes , Wo do not know what significance there is iu the fact , but it is to be noted that sev eral representatives of aneiont families are turning their landed property into cash. Lord Salisbury himself within c few weeks has sold over $5,000,000 wortli of real estate in the heart of London thus parting with property that has re- inalned in the Cecil family for genera tions. A "houso-ront league , " with t plan of campaign upon the land league principle , has recently boon organized in London with the avowed object of re > ducing rents. * * General CulTarel , convicted of havinf sold decorations of the legion of honor has been deprived of his military rank had his numo stricken from the list o members of the legion , nnd now Ian guishos in prison , an utterly disgraced nnd ruined man. Bou lunger's arrest turns out to bo in tin nature of a punishment for an olTonsi acknowledged rather than detontioi preparatory to trial. The order of th < Legion of Honor was founded by tin great Napoleon in 1802 , for the rowan of conspicuous exhibitions of braver ; and merit , and then as for many years at tcr the star and ribbon meant something It meant that a soldier had boon a sol ( Her indeed ; that pee la , artists , savane people humble and people great , hai hewn honor out of laborious nnd well deserved enrollment in its rcsplendon legion. Between 1805 and Napoleon' , first abdication , 1814 , the nominations ti the order numbered 48,000 , of whicl 1,400 were ot civilians. Tin Bourbons reorganized the or der , fixing the proportion o military men in the legion ut three filth. The chevaliers are the lowed grade and their number is unlimited At the time of the reorganization of th order , in 1870 , grand crosses. wori limited to 70 , grand officers 200 , com mundors to 1,000 , officers. 4,000. Tlv grand cro .s is tlio highest insignia In 1874 the military members of tin order numbered 89,79:1 : , and the civiliui 15,000. Tlio debasement of the decora tlon began underNapolcon III. nnd has continued , until it : ia now no longer an honor to possess it. } So far as Bulgaria is concerned the treaty of Berlin appears to have become a dead letter. The work of weakening his historic compact began with the neglect of the powers to take notice of : ho irregular way Rurnollawas annexed to Bulgaria ; but it is the course of ob struction pursued by Russia that has jlvon what seems , tq bo the death blow o the treaty. While that power has 'rom ' the first insisted upon the letter of .ho treaty , it has us'cd its prerogatives as a signatory power to prevent a settle ment of the difficulties. Russia will loither ngrco to any nomination for the Bulgarian throne nor make n nom ination. Meantime the people of Bulgaria have made a choice to suit Jicmsolvcs , the elections for the so- branjo last week demonstrating that the country is practically a unit in pursuing a policy of practical Independence. The Central European league , which Prince Bismarck so skilfully revived nt a time when Franco was sulking over a quasi Russian alliance and Bulgaria working out its wishes in the face of treaties , puts the czar in a position whore ho must receive in unkingly silence ono moro rebuff or announce that ho no longer acknowledges the Berlin com pact. In cither case ho loses prestige. 1 * * * It is evident that England will retain possession of Egypt. Last spring she made an offer of settlement to Turkey which should pacify the sultan as to Egypt and Europe as to the Suez canal. There was a loud protest among the am bassadors at the sublime porto , and the sultan , dooming it possible to got bettor terms , interposed , like a good Moham medan , that ho could sign no treaty until the close of the long fast of Rama dan and the feast of Bairam. This religious scruple served to delay the treaty. England Is now in a position to claim everything. Egypt ia to "drop of her own accord from the Ottoman Empire , " nnd Franco may whlstlo for satisfaction. Franco , on her side , would not support Froycinot when ho struggled to retain the dual control , and now she will hardly fight , having nine points of the law of conquest against her. Egypt is England's , and England will keep the rich jewel. Franco has had Egypt once , and has had a half interest onco. Both times the Gallic empire was closed out at creditors' sale. So long as the Mos lem must give to the Christian , England may as well own the Nile as may any other nation. It is difficult to see what the Turks have gained by refusing , at the behest of Franco , to accept the fic tion of Ottoman rule at the court of Cairo. * * Samoa has boon § e center of a good deal of interest on , the part of three great nations , but/iho / triangular strug gle which has been going on for suprem acy in the islandBSseoms clearly des tined to bo doeicled'in ' favor of Germany. This is the result of 'intrigue , bulldozing and free expenditures of money. Bis marck has sot greedy eyes upon these rich possessions , arid events have come about in such a way that the Gorman government has been able to overawe and coerce King Malietoa. The United States have not only lost prestige in Samoa , but have thrown away whatever chance they may have had of developing trade in that direction and of gaining the upper hand , and England has boon unequal to Germany in the policy of gobbling up the islands. So manifest destiny points to their annexation by Germany. Ac cording to trustworthy accounts the Samoan people have preserved their primitive habits and characteristics in a marked degree. They seem to stand greatly in need of christianizing influ ences , for they are described as notori ous liars and thieves. * * Socialism is to bo found in practice in the colony of Now South Wales , says ita governor , Lord Cnrrington. Ho re cently made a speech showing how nearly every ono of the demands made upon Lord Salisbury by the English social democratic federation were al ready in force in Now South Wales. Wo have , ho said , vote by ballot , none no property qualification for members of parliament , equal electoral elistricts , no state church , and no hereditary aristoc racy in short , a democracy with a con stitutional sovereign at the hoacl.JRight hours are considered long enough work ing hours , instead of the ton , twelve and sometimes seventeen in England. Public houses on Sundays are shut and museums uro open. A statute makes the sale and transfer of land cheap and easy. Men unable to find employment are provided with work by the govern ment , and education is practically free. Lord Carrington says the result is that New South Wales has almost a perfect system of government. * * It is only a question of tlmo when Yankee methods shall bo applicel to railway building au'djngriculturo in In dia. Several railway bridges have al ready boon constructed in that country on American models , and there is a ris ing school of the younger British engi neers in India whiuh favors Ameri can ideas. The cumbrousness nnd inconvenience of , English rolling stock nnd the slowness ol native labor are beginning to make themselves felt as i obstructions to the work of civilization | In spite of these drawbacks the railway mileage has in creased from 3,000 in 1872 to nearly 18,000. The grain qlevator is soon to be introduced in India , J and the immense wheat crop can tl en bo brought Into competition with that of other countries. 1MIOMINKNT Uobert Gnrrctt Is to spend the winter in Mexico.

While standing near the edge of the bridge ho stopped backward off the structure nnd fell a distance of thtrty-flvo feet. Ho landed on both feet , but fell Immediately In a heap unable to rise. Ho was taken to St. Joseph's hospital nnd Dr. Galbraith was summoned to wait on him. An examination of his in juries showed that ho had suffered a com pound fracture of the right ankle nnd hod broken four of the bones of the loft. It is thought that It will bo necessary to amputate both of his feet. Ho cnmo from Berlin only a few days ago agd commenced work on the bridge only the day before ho was hurt. Armour's House and A Strike. On the 25th of last month J. E. Klloy com menced the erection of the additions to the old Lipton house and the new buildings con templated by Armour when ho bought out the former houso. The work was to bo finished and the house was to commence to kill and pack on the 1st of next month. But four days remain in which to complete the brick work according to contract , but the fact that the projectors were ono week behind In turn ing the slto over to Mr. Uiloy gives the latter ample tlmo to finish the work , which Is now. indeed , almost completed. A knowledge of this fact , however , did not prevent Mr. Ulley's bricklayers from striking yesterday , thinking it was possible to force him to increase his wages. The men consequently demanded W | > er day. The demand was refused and the men struck. When they commenced to work on the build ing they were paid J5 per day. They wore imported to this city from Chicago , Mr. BI- ley paying the faro. Ono week later their wages were raised voluntarily to 13.35 per day , and on the second week they were given $5.50 per day. Yesterday , they demanded $0 , and Mr. Riley refused to accede to the de mand. Ho put another gang of men at work on the building , and is paying these men (5.75 per dap. The work done and the tlmo specified , is somewhat remarkable. The building in course of erection is 814x241 feet , is now iii almost every manner ready for packing , which Is soon to commence for the season. Last evening ono of the striking bricklay ers , In speaking to a BER reporter , said that the strike was hatched In one of the board ing houses while the men wcro oatlng , nnd on returning to their work they demanded a raise of 50 cents a day. This being refused , nil throw down their tools With the exception of a few men , who returned to work ut a raise of 25 cents a day. There were in all twenty-eight employed on the work , nnd when they quit about twenty secured immediate employment on Swift's establishment at the same rnto they wcro getting on Armour's. They claimed as a reason for the strike that they had to work too hard to get the contract done at the specified tlmo and thought they deserved moro pay. It was cir culated about the city yesterday that Hlloy would nay $ fl per day to-day , and If any of the strikers desired , these whom ho picked out , could go buck to work. As most of the men now have other employment it may bo hard for him to sccuro men. Sam Gardner's Benefit. Sam Gardner , the veteran minstrel , was given a rousing benefit at thoOlympiethoatro lost evening. The house was crowded to its utmost capacity and as a result the old min strel was presented with nearly $500 at the close of the performance. After the regular programme had boon given the volunteers wcro announced by Manager 'Sollon. The flrst was Charles Gardner , who treated the audience to a couple of vocal selections. Ho was followed by Bob Primrose In iKithctic ballads. Miss Molllo Cole , serio-comic , ren dered in her usual manner , "Tho Flower Girl , " and followed with a good selection on encore. John Ostrollo rendered a number of harp and 'vocal solos. Then came Sam Gard ner , the beneficiary. Ho was greeted wnh round after round of applause and In re sponse sansr , "Tho Old Sexton. " As ho finished Mr. Henry A. Punish stepped to tha front nnd In a neat speech pre sented the old veteran nn ebony cane , sur mounted by a massive gold head , in behalf of the employes of the Olympic. On the head of the cane was inscribed , "Presented to Sarn Gardner by the employes of the Olym pic theatre , October 21,1837. " Mr. Gardner , in a few well chosen words , thanked the givers and in response * to u request sang "Larboard Watch. " The next numbers on the programme wcro Prof. Hall , the clover cartoonist , nnd Harry Nuscl , In motto bal lads. The entertainment closed with a clever set-to between Koonoy nnd Lindsay.

AMUSKMKNTS. Modjcakn Stakes tier Second Appear- mice nt Itoyd'ft In "Mary Htunrt. " Mary Stuart , n nu unfortunate princess , persecuted by an unfeeling brother nud pur- Bucd by the luvotcrato hatred of enemies of her faith nnd authority , sought refuge In Knglaml. Instead of finding asylum she was confined In a dreary prison for about eighteen years when eho was brought , to trial. To this travesty of Justice , It has been said that the history of the world affords no parallel. Upon n variety of slanderous nnd atrocious charges , Mary was condemned to capital punishment nnd nswnded the scaffold , under the death-warrant of her ulster Elbuboth , after n wearisome incarceration. It Is this Incident , with the intrlguo of Leicester nnd the Inordlnato devotion of the young Mortimer. which Schiller nlms to Illustrate In the play In which Modjeska tip- iwarcd last night. The author treat * the rival queen with c iual Justice , especially when It Is considered at how much variance ) the side of each hns been assumed whllo that of the other has been contemned by ardent partisans. Mary Is described ns n queen , mindful of her position , cognizant of the In dignity to which oho Is BUbJoot , yet fearless in the appreciation of every opportunity to encompass her oscnpo , if need bo by tlio flatterers who surround her sister's throno. Elizabeth , on the other hand , Is depleted , with nil her jHiwer. as the victim of n love for Leicester , whom , desplto his trenchory , she Is nniiblo to fathom , n woman envious of her ulster's iwwcr , her sister's beauty ; desiring her death and yet lacking the manly strength to encompass It. Thus constituted , the queens meet nt Futhoringay. Hero Mary , conquering her pride , kneels to her sister in abject suppllanco and prays for freedom. Uejoicing over hervlctory.Klba- both replies to the petition with twints and bitter reproaches , sneering nt her rival's beauty nnd iliiiglug hi her face the conduct which Mary's enemies claim conduced to her downfall. ThoOucenof Scots , casting prudence aside , nnd to the terror of her friends , proclaims the Illegitimacy of Ellra- beth nnd heaps Uxm | her the cut-Has of her outraged spirit. This Is the supreme mo ment of the play. Under the assault Eliza beth retires , defeated In n battle of her own choosing. If Modjeska has boon tender and patient thus far , in this outburst she Is womanly and resistless. The imputation upon her character , for the moment , transforms her Into tbo fearless queen and her repulsion of the attack brings face , form , volco and attitude - titudo Into brilliant play. Just before she ho- gins her invective she Indulges In n passion- Shaw was consistent mid effective. Her features nro scarcely strongly enough marked for an Ideal exponent of the charac ter , and her greatest success is In these emotional passages which tell of love for Leicester , her weariness of i > owcr nnd the scathing rebuke inlllcted upon her sister , rather than In these which show the In- tensest feeling. The other characters were fairly well sustained. Police Court. The morning's business : Edward Thomas , for refusing to pay car faro nnd abusing nn officer , $13 nnd costs ; Jim Brady , John Fries- nor , T. Brasoo , nnd Billy Mahono. tramps , were ordered ncross the rlvor ; Ncillo Uoth , vagrant , was read the riot act and once moro turned loose ; Dick Hathaway , destroying property , $10 nnd costs. Hanson & Ilasmussen , who wcro arraigned yesterday before Judge Hcrkn for selling liquor without a license , waived examination and wcro put under $400 bonds to appear before fore the district court. Charles Bcrtolns , for driving down Six teenth street in a reckless manner nud ut break-neck speed , was fined $12 and costs. flow John Li. Will Look in Mni-blc. Boston Transcript : The statue of "Tho Boxer , " modeled in heroic siza after tha pugilist , John L. Sullivan , by ono of the most brillant of young American sculptors , Mr. John Donoghuo , is now nearly completed in clay. It is less striking in originality of pose than either of the other best known works of this sculptor , "Tho Young Sophocles" and the "Nymph , " both of which have a dash nnd a strenuousness of movement that are fairly thrilling. Ono might have expected from these examples of daring in the selection of attitude that this statue of "Tho Boxer" would pre sent some such picturesque pose and broad movement as are soon in the classical statues of athletes , gladiators and discus-throwers. Movement nnd spring there are indeed in Mr. Donogh- uo's "Boxer" of the most Intense kind the energy that is re strained , or , rather , expectant and prepared for instant movement. The huge yet beautiful figure ( which , by the way , is soon at n glance not to be that of Sullivan in his present state ) , towers firmly , yet lightly , poised on foot and logs planted well apart , yet not strl It- ing any boxing attitude , oven that of "on guard , " nnd the arms terminating in massive wribts and doubled fists hang swinging at the side , just far enough from the body nnd just governed enough in their swinging movement to show the athlete's waiting and preparedness for the word that IH to Bond them into bat tering play. First the overpowering- mass and imperfect symmetry , and af terwards the latent strength and the half relaxed spring and readiness oi the muscular paragon , impress the specta tor undoubtedly the order of impres sions as they would bo received in fac ing such a champion in the flesh. Thus that canon of sculpture which demands repose and the human longing for ox- probsivo action are both satisfied. That the execution of the modeling is mas terly , full of knowledge and trained ar- tistio ability , goes without saying , for Mr. Donoghuo has won Salon honors in Paris.
