How He Got Upon the Bench. Relapsing into obscurity, Mr. Penny- packer was unheard of in connection with public affairs, except as a mem ber of the board of education, during the next six years; but he had, In some mysterious way, cultivated the friend- ship of the servant who had passed his master and who had become tae despotic arbiter of political destinies In Pennsylvania.

December 17, six weeks after the election of Judge supreme bench, his would-be successor, Samuel W. Penny- packer, was noted amongst the {mpa- | tient crowd which dogged the heels of Mr. Quay, while visiting Philadelphia, 8 local paper stating that he was re- garded as the “personal choice” of the senator. “Cousin Bam” was a plodding member of the bar, who had been in practice more than 20 years without appearing in a notable case, He was chiefly occupied with compiling court reports and decisions and mousing amongst the historical records of Penn- syivania, with a view to enrolling his family name in a place of honor. No one thought of him for a place on the bench; for the prospective vacancy an- other lawyer of prominence and ability was urged by many citizens, members {of the bar and influential politicians. { But at the proper time, earl { uary, 1889, and at Mr. Quay’'s personal y in Jan- demand upan the governor, Mr. Penny- To the amazed page and nearly one-third of the pages are blapk., Leaving out the senseless repetitions, apologies for persistent at- tacks of “indisposition,” qo 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 rreat man's greatest efforts could read- ly be placed within the covers of an or- dinary political pamphlet. An up-to- date newspaper condenser would mat the whole of it, worth even temporary preservation, within a half dozen col- umns, and yet this, barring the poly glot tariff speech of 1863, contributed ¥ generous friends, In quantities to suit, is to be the sole contribution of “Pennsylvania's most distinguished statesman’ to American history! May the fates preserve us from another like it! Let us tage a brief look at some of the contents of this wonderful joint production of M. 8. Quay and 8. W. Pennypacker, the latter having read the final proofs and given the pis turesque editorial finishing touches Editor Pennypacker's Fulsome Praise. In his introduction over his own sig- nature Editor Pennypacker, referrin to notable men of the past, Penn, Dick inson, 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 {mpor.ant fleld of statecraft, with a view to the ac complishment of those ends for which human spclety is instituted, has rarely if ever, been equalled in American poii- tics, and approaches genius. The cavil which has followed him, the tempor- ary effusion of unhappy imefliciency, is, in Its final analysis, but further ovi- dence of his real greatness.” In this finely wrought sneer the critics of Quayism, who certainly re present an overwhelming majority of the people of Pennsylvania, will clearly perceive the contempt with which they In his speech in Philadelphia “Penn. Bylvania's most distinguished states- man” essayed the part of a seer, and made this extraordinary declaration which no doubt struck his Judicial re- viser as wonderfully peaceful, somes thing that should bring to his support the religious world in general “Christianity has failed in Asia In peaceful missionary effort, and if the Cross is to prevail there it must be pre- ceded or accompanied by the battle flag.
