The Longfellow Statue.


A writer in the Portland Press has certain
suggestions relative to the age in which the
poet should be represented in the statue, and
gentleman in this city would have him rep
resented as he was in his full vigor when he
was doing the great work which has made
From a knowledge of the gentlemen who
have the matter in hand, it seems TO be a
settled fact that the city of his birth is to
have a statue of Longfellow. To those who
knew him IN his early manhood, it becomes
a matter of interest as to the age at which he
shall be represented. Shall the statute follow
the later pictures of him, with long white
hair and beard as he has appeared for sever
al Yeas; or shall il eprestnt the Lonsfellow
of Portland, in his vigor of manhood as he
appeared when he left the town to assume
the duties of a college professor.
Fortunately there are likenesses of him at
several different periods of his life. At the
Loneftllow mansion in Portland, is an oil
portrait, life size and truthfully painted of
the Bowdoin professor. about the time he left
for Europe the first time. This likeness
represents him as handsome young man,
without beard and in the dress of the time.
This is the Henry Longfellow" of Portland,
as he is fixed in the memory of the Oldest
citizens. In the old homestead is also an
other small portrait of Mr.. Longfellow as he
appeared when he left Bowdoin for Europe
with the understanding that he would be ap-
pointed professor at Harvard on his return.
This represents him more matur d than the
life size picture, close shaven except half size
side whiskers.
1t Is probable that the Massachus setts statue
will represent the poet with his full beard, as

Custom Houses.
A Statement Denied.


The statement to the effect that political
affairs in New York and PENNSYLVANIA and
other State have been .he subject of formal
discussion at the Cabinet meetin. is author
tatively denied by the President and men,
bers of the Cabinet who furthermore speci-
fcaly say that while the usual Cabinet meet
ing have been held for the consideration of
public business no reference whatever to po-
litical matters has been made AT any meeting.
and that no dispatches whatever, cipher or
otherwise, have been sent from the White
House to the chairman of the State commit
tee in New York. or to any else on political
subjects there or elsewhere. The Presidents
visit now is in conformity with plans made
there weeks ago, when he rented his resi-
dence. and is for the purpose of attending to
packing his private papers, books and other
articles, preparatory to their removal to
Washington. He says he has nothing what
ever to do with the coming election in the
State except to the extent Of casting his own
vote on election day. The President will
probably leave Washington for New York
tomorrow.
Political Assessment Trial.
Hearing of arguments in the political as
sessments case of Newton NJ. c. Curtis was
continued in the U. S. Supreme Court this
afternoon. Mr.. Edwin B. Smith of counsel
for petitioner replied at some length to the
argument of the solicitor general, and was
today, as yesterday, repeatedly interrupted
by questions from the bench. Mr.. Smith be-
gun by saying that voluntary giving money
Fdoes not constitute trustecship, neither can
it be called an Independent, private employ
ment carried on by government employe
at the expense of the service to which his
time and labor properly belongs. 1t is an
entirely personal matter. and one with which
the go, ernment can have no concern. Con-
gress is not censor of morals and it cannot
control its employees outside the sphere of
their official duties. In conclusion Smith
said he could only reiterate his conviction
that Congress had no right to regulate the
| conduct OF government employe outside the
sphere of the latter's official duties.
Everett p. Wheeler has submitted a bill
for the government, this afternoon, in which
the cOnstitutionality of the statute is main
tained upon somewhat broader ground than
that taken by the solicitor general. and in
which an attempt is made to show that the
practice of political assessment is not only
illegal but injurious to the public service,
oppressive to the government employe and
demoralizing to all who have anything to do
with it.
