many wen on pedes tals writes ii f g in toronto star our praise is so careful that it is oven reluctant although que bec is given to heroworship the na tion as a wholo is slow ta kindle perhaps this is tho reason why the thirtysbc years of confederation contribute only four statues to par liament hill as a matter of fact thero ought to bo fivo statues george brown ono of the foremost makers of con federation is not in tho little ga laxy but tho liberal government which added aloxandei mackenzie to tho pantheon will probably rear a bronze to tho statesman of whom mackenzie was merely a disciple all these statues arc crecud by govorn- igiucnt grants it is only natural that tho great political parties should each attend to the memories of its own illustrious dead iliis explains why alexander mackenzie did not get his statue until a couple of years ago and why george brown has ono coming tho conservatives although so long in power did not turn par liament hill into a cemetery they left a number of choice spots for tho eclobrities of the future in twenty- five years they raised only two stat- ues of course they had to wait until the men died before they could build monuments to them but on a simple calculation of time- they se lected only one great man for every twelvc years this shows more re straint- than tho liberal govern ment which has ono to its credit in six years however this is a grow ing time and the crop of statues may be expected to follow the gener al tendency- perhaps an averago might bo struck if canada can pro duce enough great men to mako it figure out ono in nino years her re nown is assured on bominion day these four stat ues looked down on a city gay with flags all of them had more or less to do with the great event which was being colebrated thero was for instance quoen victoria who sanc tioned the confederation because her ministers told her that it was the right thing to do ottawa owes a debt to her majosty for without her royal word it would not be otta wa and the capital of the bominion but just bytown a headquarters for shantymen and camp supplies not much bigger than pembroke or arn- prior thero was also sir john a macdonald there was for a third aloxander mackenzie the fourth was sir george cortier who fought for the cause of union in quebec the oldest of theso statues and the finost from an artistic point of view is carticrs the figure is simple and strong the pediment is cot plastered with allegorical fantasies the mans greatness- stands detached from the vagaries of the sculptor it is as if he scorned any symbols to interpret him relying solely on his deeds which aro on record this way it should bo with all statues nothing should distract tho x from the man who is commemorated carticrs statue is by tho way the best piece of bronze on parliament hill it patlnatcs beautifully it is vory different from tho mackenzie ctatue in which tho bronzo is of such an inferior quality that it ol- i ready blisters with rust and verdi gris the cartler statue was erected in the early eighties sir john mnc- donald was present at tho unveiling and delivered the panegyric tt was a cold blustery day in october and the old man stood- bareheaded through tho ceremony the statue of sir john macdonald stands at the eastern end of the terrace against a background of trees it is remotely visavis of car- tiers statue which occupies a simi lar position at tho western end of tho terrace the bronzo is by herbert ilulrt t prcnehrdzuiaiamk waa lives in paris he has had moat of the artistic commissions in tho gift of the government because ho is a good sculptor and because in this as in other matters it is well that canada should bo for canadians he- bert has given an excellent likeness of sir john and has oven succeeded in tending impressiveness to the spare rather unsculpable figure ca nada is symbolized at the base in tho fchnpe of a beautiful woman but the effect is to take away from rather than to enhance tho dignity of the work as a whole this statue was set up in 1s93 sir adolpho caron was the orator of tho occasion ar thur weir tho poet now dead re cited an original ode alexander mackenzie has suffered most at the sculptors hands bis gaunt angular frame did not lend itself readily to idealization and tho artist mado matters worse with a stilted poso and his uncouth treat ment of tho conventional frock coat mackenzies right hand is extended it seems to bo out of proportion at any rato it entirely overshadows tho scotch premier and makes him shrink by comparison here as in tho macdonald statuetho symbolical figures of canada raising labor from tho ground which are tho work of hebert aro excellent in them selves but very much out of place as an ornament hebert is not to blamo for tho mackenzie part of it another man did it hoberts chef doeuvro is tho statuo of her majesty queen victoria which occupies the most commanding posi tion on parliament hill the big knoll which flanks tho western block it is tho first thing to seize tho oyo from tho central gateway and is the only statuo that can bo seen from tho river tho queen is pre- sented standing as she was in her prime tho sculptor has used his artistic license to give her the re quired effect of height and regality the whole spirit of tho work is al legorical tho british lion in ft noble rampant attitude and tho fig ure of famo offering the great queen a wreath of laurel are well conceiv ed the motif is harmonious this statue at least does not try to prink itself out with shreds and patches of
