In the latter part of 1888, Mr. Quay was at the zenith of his power as the successful national Re- publican chaiviian, His goings and comings were like a royal progress, Hia will was supreme at Harrisburg, and this state never witnessed such exhibi- tions of sycophancy. December 17, six weeks after the election of Judge Mitchell to the supreme bench, his would-be successor, Samuel W. Penny- packer, was notsd amongst the impa- tient crowd which dogged the heels of Mr. Quay, while visiting Philadelphia, af local paper stating that he was re- garded as the “personal choice” of the senator, “Cousin Sam” was a plodding member of the bar, who ad been in practice more than 20 years without appehring in a notable case.

Pennypacker, whose eulogistic in- troduction is dated April 26, 1901 Hard Sledding to Make History. The anuals of American history may be searched in vain for such a travesty upon stateamanship and literature, The book covers 200 pages, nearly two- thirds of it being white paper, the publisher bitterly complaining to tails day that he was made the helpless vic- tim of a vain-glorious attempt at “pad- ding.” The printers reveled in the “fattest” take of the year, There are twenty-three lines of pica type to a page and nearly one-third of the pages are blank. Leaving out the senseless repetitions, apologies for persistent at- tacks of “indisposition.’” the references to a mythical medical adviser, supposed to be the “wet goods” commissary of the caravan: the continuous ladling out of “soft soap,” for the benefit of local communities, and this great book of a jen man’s greatest efforts could read- be placed within the covers of an or- dinary political pamphlet. An up-to- date newspaper condenser would put the whole of it, worth even temporary preservation, within a half dozen col- umns, and yet this, barring the poly. glee tariff speech of 153, contributed ¥ generous friends, in quantities to sult, is to be the sole contribution of “Pennsylvania’s most distinguighed statesman’ to American history! May the fates preserve us from another Hke it! Let us tage a brief look at some of the contents of this wonderful int production of M. 8. Quay and . W. Pennypacker, the latter having read the final proofs and given the pic- turesque editorial finishing touches Editor Pennypacker's Fulsome Praise. In his introduction over his own sig. nature Editor Pennypacker, referring to notable men of the past, Penn, Dick ingon, Rittenhouse, Binney, West Meade and Stevens, in a preliminary burst of admiration, says: “The capacity shown by Mr. Quay for the organization and direction of men in masses in the important feld of statecraft, with a view to the ac- complishment of those enda for which human society is instituted, has rarely. if ever, been equalled in American poli- tics, and approaches genius, The cavil which has followed him, the tempor: ary effusion of anhappy inefficiency, is, in its final analysis, but further evi- dence of his real greatness.” , In this finely wrought sneer the critics of Quayism, who certainly re- present an overwhelming majority of he people of Pennsylvania, will clearly pervelve the FoRtempt with which they regarded «by Judge Pennynecber 10 ters 41 opportunity work of its Hine of hun Mr, Qua) markable for th Gy and mia ght Masterpieces of Falsehood. 1 office is no longer the tremendou election and then making, s pnonumental in Pennypa I' pretends . truth.

God, in his infinite wisdom, seems to have ordained that the sword shall open the bloody road for the coming of the gospel of peace and. love. The world cannot mndune one-third Chris- tian and two-thirds heathen. One or the other must perish.” For the son of a Presbyterian minister. this sounds rather “stremuons.” But Mr. Quay squares the account by thus extending the right hand of fellowship to his Christianized Ah Sin. Standing on the same platform, a few months later, re- ceiving the congratulations of his friends upon having finally bought his way through the Pennsylvania legisla. ture, he sald: “We should respect China for what she has been and sym- athize with her in her trials, and look orward with ho to her future and the fulfillment of her mission.” Evi- dently Judge Pennvpacker believes that consistency is the refuge of weak minds. He has unbounded admiration for the politician who can skin the cat with neatness and dispatch. Pennypacker’'s Crowning Offense.
