4 NOCTURNAL INAUG URATON

That Boston is City of Statues, is well
known; for most of the public gardens and
squares of that metropolis bristle with works
of art. Heretofore, upon the erection Of any
of these images, there has usually been pro-
cessioD, and generally an grafton; but the
lamented death Of Gov. Andrew, who would
have spoken, had he lived, at the Inauguration
of the new bronze statue of Mr.. Everett,
caused change in the custom Mr.. StOry's
work, therefore, was set up in the Public Gar
den between sunset and sunrise and, when the
early citizens went to take their constitutional
walks there last Monday morning they found
the presentment of Mr.. Everett standing where
we hope it will stand for several centuries
The objection to a precedent like this will
readily occur to the acute reader. 1t will be
argued that, under cover of the darkness, many
statues, calculated by their mediOcrity, both of
subject and of execution, to provoke the indig
nation of the community, may be clandestinely
erected, only to be removed by popular
outbreak, and at great expense both Of
time and of trouble. In answer to this, we
may point triumphantly to the fact that for
eleven years the brass Franklin of Boston has
stood unframed in q much frequented thorough
fare, and that nothing disrespectful has hap
pened, if we except an epidemic of jokes about
its legs, which have been irreverently com
pared to nine-pins. 1t has, however, been
logically urged that perhaps the Doctors lower
limbs did really resemble nine-pns, especially
in the short breeches and long stockings of the
period. For our own part, whenever we have
seen this miracle of art, we have been so much
amused by surmising what Poor Richard him
self would have said about it, could he have
seen it, that, whatever our feelings were on
approaching it, we have always left it in an
amiable and philosophical frame of mind. A
law requiring every person DESTROYS of erecting
a statue in the night to take out license for
the same, would obyiate every diffculty-ex-
cept the difficulty Of getting good statue to
erect.
That the monument Of an accomplished ora
tor should be put in its place without an APP
prOpriate grafton, mayEseem homogeneous. AT
the same time, any check to our public passion
for speech making is encouraging. The num-
Der of men in this country who can talk in
public respectfully is much greater than the
number of our real orators and lately there
has been 50 much talking Of all kinds, both
good and bad, that, whenever silence is possible

or necessary, everybody Will recognize the
golden character which has been ascribed to it.
A certain number of addresses upon certain
subiects-pOlitics, public economy, literature,
and the ike-are needed; and certain amount
of dinner-table talk is pleasant, whether it be
needed or not. But great men just dead, and
still freshly remembered, are, in all senses,
beyond the want of our eulOgies The time
will come when recurrence to their abilities,
their virtues, and their public services, may
have the result of re-awakening a proper sense
of what is due to their memories, while, through
the lapse of years their frailties will be for
gotten. An immediate tribute to their worth
may satisfy the promptings of gratitude and
affection; but the fact that we build their
statues proves that we need very little to be
reminded of their excellence while they still
occupy a contemporary place in our annals.
Finally, we cannot but feel that Mr.. Everett,
conld his own wishes have been consulted,
would have approved of the quiet way in which
his efligy has taken its place in the city which
he loved so we'll He was a man of such sim
ple and severe tastes that, while he was singu-
larlv. and sometimes painfully, sensitive to
public opinion, he cared nothing for coarse
clamor and vulgar ovation. The exquisite cul-
ture of the scholar was too strong for the am-
btion of the man. He was politically timid,
and sometimes proved unequal to great de-
mands upon his firmness and stability of pur-
pose; but he was as far as possible from a
demagOgue He was more than grateful
enough for praise; but it was welcome only
when it came from the judiciOus. 1t is fitting
that the statue of the classical orator and
scholar should appear without pomp or circum-
stance, without the sound of trumpets or the
waving of banners. standing there to greet the
rising sun with something of Greek silence and
serenity.

Senator Reverdy Johnson has INDUCED in
long pamphlet the main position OF which is
that the right OF suffrage is not natural but
a legal right depending on the law for its ex
stence. The same position used to be taken
by the shareholders as to the right to liberty
The laws, said they, make some men free
some slaves. So now, says Mr.. Johnson, the
law allows some men to vote-s0me 1t prohlb-
its from voting If Mr.. Johnson is speaking
of the legal right to vote, il needs no Baltl-
more lawyer to instruct tho country that this
depends on tho law. We have yet to learn
that any numbskull ever doubted it, But be-
hind and above all law there is conscience,
a rule of right and wrong-the source, IN part,
of law, but of which law is in no sense the
source. This natural right" derives its in
spiraton from Eternal Justice. The Declare
ton of Independence defined the natural right
of all men to he free. They did not IN this
country. all acquire the legal right to be free
until 1868. SO the same Declaration declared
the natural right of all men to participate In
the government. This natural right VIII re-
main the same. in the minds of those who be-
leve in the truth of tho Declaration, however
long the legal right may be deferred But the
nearer our legal rights conform TO our natural

Since Weston has arrived at Chicago on time
having made his twelve hundred and odd miles
in twenty-six walking days, without breaking
the Sabbath, it is to be hoped that the excite
ment on the subject of pedestrianism will be
allowed to die out. One highly moral spectacle
of a young man attempting to cancel his pecu-
mary obligations by crossing continent at the
rate of AZ miles day is surely enough to
satisfy the strictest advocate of the peripate-
tic philosophy. The Stagirite himself, who was
wont to discourse so elOquently and impress
sively on the moving" powers of the animal
organism, and who established the philosophy
cal notions of "space and time" and de-
monstrated their connection with matter, could
hardly demand more in support Of his we'll
grounded theory than the evidence supplied by
young Weston the DOwn-East pedestrian.

Generally, we do not attach much Importance
to the statements of the numerous semi official
papers of Paris on pending political questions
They frequently arc not better informed than
other papers, and sometimes arc purpOsely led
into error in order to misguide public opinion.
But statement by one of these papers, La
France, to the effect that it will be impossible
for the Conference to maintain the present
boundary Of Rome, is entitled to somewhat
greater credit, as La France is more devoted to
the cause of the Pope than any other of the
Government papers, and its declaration in favor
of reduction of the Temporal Power shows
that the advocates of the Temporal Power as
1t now exists cannot rely on any Of the papers
supporting the Government. 1t will naturally
be inferred from this fact that Louis Napoleon

ago, to leave to the Pope sovereign or semi

" ing OF the Convention, but three or four
counties have taken steps to be represented
As there are over a hundred counties in the
State, the prospect is rather gloomy for the
grand uprising of the Conservative masses 1t
is but few days since the Conservative edit
ors of Georgia were urging voters to defeat
the Reconstruction Convention by not voting
at all. Although the stay-at-home policy was
Intellectual in that case, the voters seem to
have accepted the doctrine, and now, when the
same presses are urging them to come out and
save the country they just stayed at home to
save, the stupid fellows do not take the hint.

Mr.. Blanchard FOsgate of Auburn write
to the Secretary of the Treasury that, during
the past year. he has done a business
on which the profits were $4,000 and the taxes
1891, which amounts to 81 per cent on $1,000,
the assessed value of his entire property. As Dir.
Fosgates net profits, over and above all his taxes,
considerably exceed 100 per cent on his capital,
he cannot yet consider himself a ruined man.
Perhaps the fact that his profits are so con-
siderable may be owing in some degree to the
salvation of the Government from destruction
by the rebellion of (what we judge to be- DIR.
Fosgate's political party. His remedy for this
state of things is to have the National debt
paid in legal tenders due on demand, and bear
ing no interest. 1t is easy to show that this
would not only take away his taxes" but his
profits To see how this would work, let us
suppose MI FOsgate to have run in debt to an
amount more than he could possibly pay out
of his earnings in less than % years; SO
that all his debts whether on long time and
bearing interest or short and bearing no interest,
are selling for 60 cents on the dollar. Even
this degree of credit he has been able to MAIN
tain only by keeping as much as possible OF
his debts-say four ifths-on long time, so that
he could not be called on for them under
from 90 to 30 years This is the condition
of the Government to-day. Now, suppose
some wseacre should recommend Mr.. Fosgate,
rs he recommends the Government, to take up
all his long bonds, and issue instead to his
creditors promssory notes of the denomination
of from five cents to ten dollars, without in
terestP What would be the value of the prom
issory notes. Would they be worth ten cents
on the dollarf And at what rate of interest
could Mr. Fosgate raise his next loan'
His suggestion has been tried in the Aslg-
mats of France and the Continental money Oh
our American revolution. Both ran down I'LL
their market price was the price OF old paper
and those who took them were swinded. Inc
proposition would be too preposterous 10 NO
worth consideration if it were not that In
nation of SOOOO,OOO of people there are necesc
sarly great many fools, and every one OF
these we have heard from is of Mr.. Fosgates
oninion ON this question.
