One is reminded of Lincoln'ssaying to the effect that that sort of thing will suit the people who like that sort of thing. Pennsylvania {6 a queer country. Dopubtless its legislators «ee no anomaly in the suggestion, but rather consistency. And presumably the proposed statue reflects the @esire of a majority of the ptople of Pennsylvaaia who for a Ufetime paid tribute to Quay. If Quay was worthy to be sent to Washington time after time, is be not worthy of a statue at Hariisburg now that he is dead? If Quay {was Pensylvania’s ideal statesman, living, can death change the ideal? The state honored him tn life; in death should he be the recipient of 4 @ishonor? ‘The legislators are logical. Just what is to be the inseription is not intimated. Some mighty bad things were Charged against Quay when he was alive, some things that have never been denied.
