PENNSYLVANIA POLITICS.
The iNew York 'Mall and .Express of
a recent date contains the following
paragraph In reference to political con?
ditions in the Keystone State:
The Tnain proposition advanced
toy Wayne iMac-Veagh in a recent
speech is that the political condi?
tions in Pennsylvania have reached
a point where "they represent,
(purely and simply, government hy
ibribecy and corruption." That is
a sweeping and shocking statement
to make, but Mr.'MacfVeagh declares
that everybody 'knows its truth;
(that everybody knows it's truth;
proposition, and that the govern?
ment by hrlbery and corruption re?
ceives the silent acquiescence of
capitaLisu-'. clergymen. Judge*, luw
yera, bankers, merchants and manu?
facturers of the city ?nd ?tute.
Sir. MaeVeagh's charge is a very se?
rious one, indeed, and the great tri?
bunal before which the politicians ap?
pear in every election should sift the
matter well. Since the ml lien hum has
mot yet arrived few intelligent persons
can hope for the application of the
"Golden iRule" in politics, or any other
phase of lire, for that matter, but no
State?not even the great common
wealth of Pennsylvania?can afford to
tolerate "government purely tmd dim?
ply Iby bribery and corruption," And
Hf the truth of the ussertion that cler?
gymen, judges and lawyers realize the
Justice of the charge and acquiesce in
the conditions referred to can be es?
tablished, the clergy, hench and bar of
Pennsylvania should be held up to the
contempt of all honest men in the
country. If Mr. 'MacVeagh (knows what
he Is talking about, and he has had
enough experience in Pennsylvania
polities to qualify him to ?peak author?
itatively, the citizens of the Keystone
State should be looking after their poli?
ticians u little more closely than they
have 'been In the past.
There is something whimsically ridic?
ulous in the report which come from
Kew .West to the effect that the Span?
iards stationed an Havana, are prepar?
ing celebrations in honor of what they !
Slave been led to believe was a great
Spanish victory in tile naval engage- !
?menti at 'Manila. It is difficult to un?
derstand how sending out reports which
tare calculated to raise false hopes can
Ibe considered either wise or politic. In
(these days of progressive newspapers
? and telegraphic cable dines virtually
encircling the globe, it is impossible to
Slide a disagreeable truth in this, re?
spect, und it would seem to be the
wisest course to permit affairs to take
SSieSr course when the minds of the
people are at least somewhat prepared
ifor Che worst, as the (reaction from the
exultation of supposed triumph to the
abasement of certain and lignomi-nous
defeat is worse than the mere knowl?
edge of the truth could be if there were
no effort to hide it. The Spaniards, in
Havana who are drinking themselves
drunk and yelling "Viva Espano" will
have a rude awakening. It As unfor?
tunate for them that their rulers have
(been so unthoughtful es to permit them
to become the laughing stock of the
world.
fDhJs country is now at war with a
foreign nation. (Under the ordinary con?
ditions governing international com?
merce and governmental credit the im?
mediate result of this foot of war should
toa that of a heavy decline, but there
is absolutely no tendency toward a
paniclcy feeling or even toward any
urea* uncertainty as to quotations in
?Phe near future.?St. Louis Itepublic.
That is easily explained. The United
States has never defaulted on its bond*
?nd has resources enough to practically
guarantee that il never will. Its credit
la simply am illustration of a business
principle.
It doesn't require much of a mathe?
matician to figure out that 75,000,000 of
people With money to bum can whip
18.000,000 of people without money?to
jget.?Kansas City Star.
lExoctly. The trouble, however, is
that most of our pessimists are about
es "weak on mathernatUw us they tire on
I>atrioti?m.
(Those Spaniards tmould have had
better sense than to attack the British
<XW?W?s**. They might have known
that the Englishman would shoot if
lifcey him sufficient provocation.
Vita j"i*?iltHlt> at *.????.
Mr. William Waldorf Astor's nev
fountain for Cllviden, his estate near
London, is the laigest private fountain
pf the kind in t^le world. It is gor?
geous and of emirmcHis expense, and
the only fountain which rivals it in
size and appearai.ce is that of Emper?
or William In Ba-liu, the next largest
of the kind being at Moscow.
Mr. Astor. vba expects that this
fountain will astcnish the people when
it is exhibited. Has called it "Ihe
Fountain of Love." The shell alone
weighs between sixty and seventy tons.
This gigantic shell is made of nine
pieces of the fine?t Sienna marble, and
is light brown in color, but the huge
blocks have been so skillfully put to?
gether that It is almost impossible to
see the joins. The nine pieces of Sien?
na marble out o? which the shell is
made are the largest blocks of Sienna
marble ever take a out of Italy. Like
large cut diamonds, they represent an
enormous waste at material.
The fountain in its architectural fea?
tures represents the development, of
one idea. It is practically simple and
devoid of ornate .-arvlng, excepting in
the three groups.
MR. ASTOR ti gllAKTklt MILLION rorNTAIN.
Group 1.?The first group of figures
which forms a port of this fountain is
on the end of t'le shell nearest the
entrance gates. This group, made of
the finest and whitest Sicilian marble,
consists of the hrroic nixed figure of a
woman with a Cf pld. The right hand
of the figure is nutstpeteheil. In it
she holds over thi basin by the handle
a small Greek vise, from which the
water pours. Her left, hand falls by
her side. Standing at her left side is
a figure of a little Cupid, naked, with
wings, looking up Into her face. The
work 1b pronounced by sculptors to be
surpassingly beaitiftil.
Group 2.?This consists of a woman
and a Cupid, hot!* standing and pledg?
ing each other in drinking cups. The
figures are large and of the finest Si?
cilian marble.
Group 3.?This group consists of a
woman leaning Irtck, with a Cupid
bend>ng over her from a rock.
There Is no fountain, in England ri?
valling this one flf Mr. Astor's in size
and beauty, and it is even said by
architects that af> a work of ait, nnd
considering Its tize. It is tlio finest
fountain in the world. This fountain
has already cost, according to moder?
ate estimates, a fcreat deal more than
fifty thousand po inds.
