Macveaqh's Scgrriiiiy.

There has been a pleasing absence of
abusive personalities in the present national
Campaign. Both parties have apparently
come To see the folly of that Kind of polti-
cal warfare nnd the weakness that it al
WAYS inltcates. They have, therefore.
confined themselves 10 % discussion of
party principles before the people, 1t has
been in every sense an educational cam
paign. The most noticeable exception to
this course of action is that of
Mr.. WAYNE MacVeagh who held cabinet
position under Garfield and, having been
found wanting. has since been permitted by
the Republican party to tread the walks of
private life unmolested by calls to the pub
lie service Mr. MacVeagh evidently feels
that he has been ill-used; that his import
ance has not been sufficiently recognized in
Republican ranks. Because of this he has
for some time been what is known in politi-
cal parlance as sorehead." \ Rep4bli
can sorehead is always an embryo Demo
crat hence it occasioned no surprise Il
few weeks ago when Mr.. MacVeagh
came out openly as supporter
of Grover Cleveland. He had been strad-
ding the fence for some time aud it was
generally understood which side he would
finally get down upon, if the Republican
party failed to heal his injured feelings with
the balm of fat office. Every observer of
public affairs is aware of the fact that the
most venomous person in the world is a
political renegade. His bitterness against
his old associates is always intense and
active He feels that he Is obliged to do
something desperate to show his new asso-
ciates that he il really one of
them 1t WAS doubtless because of this
feeling that Mr.. MacVeagh followed up his
arrival in the Cleveland camp with das
tarlly attack upon Hon. Patrick Egan the
[ nited States minister to Chill. II was a
coarse and scurriious torrent of abuse
about equally characterized by cowardice
and higotrv. Ii was so much ut variance
with the spirit of the whole campaign. that
even the Democratic papers have, for the
most part, chosen TO ignore 1t. Mr, Egan
has replied in iignitied, though vigorous
manner to Mr.. MaeVeagh's charges en-
,irely disposing of them and leaving their
author in a most unenviable position.
Having made this disgraceful exhibition of
himself, ami having been promptly called
down. II is TO be assumed that Mr.. Mac
Yeagh will once more lose himself in the
oblivion to which public opinion consigned
h m some wears ago.

Seeing Their Mistake.

Gradually but surely the idea is creeping
into the heads of English political leaders
that the persistence of that country in the
policy of free trade is colossal economic
blunder.
Were il not for the traditional conserya-
,isn of the English character, the difficulty
to overcome its inertia,-and the Unborn
pride with which the people cling to British
institutions, there would be a regular stsm-
pede for the harvest fields of protection.
Both Tories ami Liberals are partaking
of this spirit of progress toward more SEN

A Statute Thirty. Seven Feet Nigh.

The colossal bronze statute of William
Penn which is to surmouut the tall tower of
the new city hall of Philadelphia has been
completed by the Tacony Iron and Metal
Company and is a wonderful piece of work.
The figure is represented standing in an
easy attitude, the right hand outstretched,
while the left rests upon an enormous scroll
lying upon the trunk of a tree. The scroll
hears a seal of Charles | / two feet in diameter
and on the exposed page has the following
inscription: Charles II. King of England
and France. Defender of the Faith-To
whom these presents shall come, Greeting :
Whereas. our trustie and well-beloved sub
jrct, William Penn, ESQ, SOM and heir of
sir William Penn, deceased, etc" The
tiers forming this Inscription are six inch
IS long and a reproduction Of the English
characters used at that time. The statue
weighs - 400 pounds and has height of
thirty ven feet. Some idea of its altitude
may be formed from the statement that an
primary sizei man reaches only to the calf
