After the death of General Custer num-
ber of his admirers put their hands in their
pockets and got together sum of money to
erect statue in his honor at West Point.
Heaven knows who was consulted in the
matter-certainly no one Of any taste-for
man named Mcdonald was selected for the
work, and he made of Custer such figure as
cannot be imagined outside of dime novel.
He had this brave general dressed in irock
coat, with belt around his waist stuck full
OF pistols, and pistol in either hand. Those
who knew General Custer best know that he
seldom carried any firearms at all, and had
often led a charge without even a sword IN
his hand. This statue naturally gave great
oflenso 10 his friends, and TO Mrs. Custer II
| was perfect nightmare. She could not bear
| 10 think of it, or TO think that her husband
should be represented in this manner be
| fore tho military youth of the country
| When the people who had contributed to tho
| statue saw it or heard about it they i'm
| mediately had it taken down, FOR they re
| spected Mrs. Clusters feelings in the matter
| and were very much mortified TO think tha
| such a horrible work of art-if 1t could be 81
| called by any stretch of courtesy-had beei
| evolved from their subscriptions. so ther
| il no statue now at West Point to commemC
rate this hero of 80 many battles.

SENATOR KESHEDY'S V4LEDICTORY.
Honest Men Wanted In Public Life i'm reDnsyl-
vania and Everywhere.

Honest Men Wanted In Public Life i'm rennsyI-
vania and Everywhere.
From the Baltimore sun.
During the closing hours of the PeEnsyl-
vania Legislature sensation was ere ated by
a speech of Senator Kennedy in opposition
to bill, the conference report upon which
had been written, not by the committee to
which it had been referred, but by two mem
bers of ''the third House." and printed before
there had been a meeting of the committee to
consider it. The purpose of the bill was to
enlarge the powers of corporations, releasing
full-paid capital stock from liability to further
assessment, and directors from certain re-
strictions upon Investments. 1t had the sup
port of an able lobby. But the length to
which this ad djunct of our constitutional leg
islatiye machinery was permitted to 90 in
this case in relieving the constitutional body
of its functions was TO Mr.. Kennedy, though
Philadelphian and not unacquainted with
practical politicians, amazing and outrageous.
y OF less so was the matter-of-course and obe-'
dient way i'm which the assembled legisla-
ture acquesced i'm the lobby's proceedings
Like many other young men who have ac-
copied elective office with the object of at
tending honestly to their sworn duty, he was
Disguised with the actual working of affairs.
With generous heat he exclaimed to his col
leagues "ls there so much seryility in this
body as to fail to resent this insult? 1t is
possible that two members of the third House,
in conjunction with one member of the other
House, can control this body?" 1t seems to
have been not only possible but usual,
so that when he exclaimed, further,
"you have your course checked out to
you and your laws dictated little
difference is paid here TO the wishes of
the people," he correctly described the prac-
tcal working Of Republican institutions at
Harrisburg, but at the same time failed to
convert his listeners into the discreet and
virtuous body of legislators contemplated IN
cur theory of government. He was power
less to alter the fact that the conference COM
mittee's report " had been prepared by out
siders," and announced the impression pro-
duced on him by his short experience in
these terms I" l have no desire for public
lite. The shallowness insincerity and disre-
gard of public trust have witnessed in my
brief career teach me that, with my tempera-
ment it is impossible much longer to stand
It."
This was, perhaps, AN unfortunate conclu-
sion to arrive at Ii rascally Legislators are
to be shown up and defeated it must be by
such men as Mr.. Kennedy. Honest men in
politics are the crying need of our time, and
what rewards await young men who can
occupy public place without engaging in
dicker aud bargaining is illustrated in the
career ofPresidenr Cleveland. Mr.. Kennedy
should return TO the Senate, and though he
may fail to correct existing evils all at once,
he may feel sure that his efforts will ulti-
mately be of benefit both to himself and his
constituents

Who Is the Dumber!

The Philadelphia Times is convinced that
the Democrats in the legislature, with the
governor at their head, were a pack of
geese for refusing heapportionment offered
them, since in the future they are likely to
fare worse, as they will have smaller
representation in the next Senate and it
seems to think they will have no governor,
or House, or anything. We are not inclined
to maintain the unfailing wisdom of the
Democratic legislators, as that would
be a quite hopeless task, but we
very readily uphold them in their refusal
to accept the Republican congressional ap-
portionment. The Times says in phrase,
at whose meaning we can guess, though it
is eXcruciating English, that "some people
learn dumber all the time.n And some
people 60 crazy with over-study and over
stock of learning. In which class the
Times may include itself, I'VE know not; but
we certainly think it was very foolish to
advise the Democratic legislators to accept
such an abortion as the Republican appor-
tionment. Independent of any question of
party advantage, it was not a fit apportion-
ment to be made, and the Democratic party
could well afford to take the chances of the
future rather than accept a measure that did
itno good and that violated the intent of the
fundamental law. We may have less
number of senators in the next legislature.
in which we have minority now; and a
minority, too, from which some members
could be spared to the party advantage; and
if they are spared we will not need to weep,
unless better material than the present is
nominated. We may, too, in the next
legislature be in minority in the House,
as we are now. And we may lose the gov
ernor. But if all these things happen we
are not likely to have meaner apportion-
ment bill imposed on us than the one
rejected. There is a limit to party folly
and malice, and solidly Republican
government would be ashamed to appor-
tion the state as this legislature tried to do.

A Misflt Comparison.

OF late years there has been tendency
on the part of the consular service of the
United States to make itself of general
utility by supplying political and social in
formation about other lands which
form the basis for intelligent comparison
of our own institutions with those of other
countries. Were the consuls men of
intelligent comprehension and with a
broad grasp of affairs, these comparisons
would be of the highest use and the diplo-
matte and consular service might be en-
ployed to great advantage in making for
eigners better acquainted with our insti-
tutions and in pointing out to our own
countrymen the many good things they can
learn from abroad.
1t is unfortunately true that very ineili-
cient and unfit men are too often sent ON
these missions; and that they employ
themselves to poor purpose in reporting
one-sided and superficial views of the con-
ditions of life abroad.
For example, Secretary Frelinghuysen
ordered an inquiry into the cost of mum
cipal government in English cities, and the
consular representationat various points in
that kingdom show that the cost of admin
istering the affairs of cities and the muni-
cipal debts in England are much less than
in this country. But the consuls seem

LOOK TO THE PRIMARIES !
The schools OF the People should Have The
Best Attention.

Best Attention.
From the New Era.
The primary schools, emphstically and
distinctly the schools of the people, is the
subject discussed by the INTELLIGENCER
in brief editorial, tho sentiment of which
we cordially endorse. They are the schools
on which by far the largest number Of the
humber classes depend for the ed ucation of
their children, the number who graduate
from tho higher departments of tho COM
mon school system being comparatively
small. Nearly all who share the benefits
of the system begin in the primaries and
many of them go no further. They are
therefore in the main the schools of the poor.
Hence they should have the best teach
ers, the most complete apparatus, the
| best accommodations, and the minimum
number assigned to each teacher. AS our
contemporary says, this rue is generally
| reversed, the primary school, as a rule,
| being overcrowdcd, and tho number be-
yond the capacity of the teacher to do JUS
| tice to them. 1t is an easier task for a
| teacher to discipline and instruct seventy
| five pupils in the advanced studies Of a
| secondary school than fifty in a primary.
| This statement We make upon our own eN-
| perience, both as pupil and teacher; and
| yet the practice is to spend the most money
| ON those who do the easiest work. The
younger the child the more personal atten-
| ton and instruction are demanded of the
teacher who would be successful in devel-
| oping the budding intellect. When the
mental faculties have expanded to the sec
ondary stage, when instruction can be given
in graded classes, the labor is comparatively
easy. our common schools might i'll this re-
spect profit by the experience of Sun
day schools. The time was when one
teacher undertook to instruct seventy.
five or a hundred little boys and
girls in the infant school OF course such
teaching was a failure. Now all successful
infant schools are arranged in small classes
| If from six to eight are considered enough
for one teacher in the middle department.
| there is no reason why the number should
| not be equally limited in the infant depart
| ment This has been the lesson experience
has taught the best practical Sunday schoo
workers, and IL Will have to be learned, 81
far as applicable under the differing cir
cumstances, by the management of oul
| public schools.

SOME progressive New York capitalists,
who have the bump of benevolence, well de-
veloped, recently organized company with
a capital stock of S150,000 for the building of
tenement houses. Joseph w. Drexel figures
prominently in the movement The plan is
to provide good healthful houses for from
eight to fourteen dollars month, the same
that is now paid for tumble-down novels in
the most miserable quarters of the city. The
company expects to derive a net income of
seven per cent from the investment four
per cent of which will go to the share
holders, the balance to be set aside as re-
serve fund for the protection of stockholders
and tenants. The latter will have an interest
in the reserve fund lin the proportion in
which they pay their rent, and the amount
credited to any tenant in this reserve fund
may be converted into the stock of the COM
pany at par. 1t is an excellent enterprise in
asmuch as it tends to increase the selfrespect
of the tenant while at the same time il in-
proves his surroundings 1t has worked
well in France, and there is no reason why
it should not be successful when introduced
into this country.

Financial men Of pessimist turn Of mind
say there Is "no money in banking" as
things stand at present, and to these there

Union National Zone OF the oldest banking
institutions in New York; has issued cir

expects to be able TO return to the share
holders on or before September lst

rs possible thereafter, TO make dis
trbution of the surplus, which it is
estimated will amount to at least sixty
five per cent, say SS0,0O0 additional.

The wholesale squandering Of the peo-
ple's money in the erection of public build
ings, has become so common that it excites
no wonder. The government building in
Philadelphia will, perhaps, never he finished
while the building commission are given
the free rein they now have in the disburse-
ment of funds. But their record is eclipsed
by the contractors in charge Of the Albany,
New York, state capitol building. 1t was
begun in 1867 and was to cost not more than
s4,0OO,000. Sixteen and half millions were
spent upon it up to October last, and the New
York Herald predicts /" By next January
it will reach eighteen millions. Six or seven
millions then will be required to finish the
building aud afterward there will come a
demand for several millions TO buy land
around it and open suitable approaches ~
And the most amazing part of it all is that
with this enormous expenditure the building
is pronounced, arcbitecturally, a botched
piece of work. The " dear people" in these
days seem to love to be cheated.
