The Disagreeinr Doctors,

The Belfast Age, the Democratic organ of
Waldo county, makes answer to the inquiry
of the Argus, Why it does not labor for the
repeal of the prohibtory law, as follows:
Is the Argus so dull of apprehension as not to see
that the Age is aboring to that very end by labor
lug to bring the Democratic party into power, one
Of whose cardinal principles opposition to sump-
usry laws? And why is the Democratic party thus
opposed to such laws? 1t is because they abridge
the personal freedom of the citizens; that in the
language of rscent report of the Congressional
Committee, ''they attempt to control the personal
habits and private conduct of the Individual while
he does not interfere with the personal rights of
others or the peace and order of society in general
That the present prohibitory law does attempt this
and attempts to compel persons TO adopt habits Of
total abstinence against their choice in Short that
1t is founded upon the principle of paternsl govern
rnent the principle upon viii III thrones rest Is too
plain for controversy. The Democratic party If we
rightly apprehend its spirit while it will abide such
laws as long as they exist it will leave them like
all other laws to be enforced by those who suffer
from their violation.
Here is very frank confession by Dem
ocratic journal which enjoys large constit-
uency. that the Democratic party, If it ever
gains full power In this State, can be trusted
to wipe out the prohibitory law. The Ban
eor Commercial has again and again reiser-
sted similar belief, and the Portland Ar
gus, though it has not gone quite to this ex-
tent, only few weeks ago avowed frankly its
hostility to the law. Though there appears
to be difference of opinion among these
Democratic doctors concerning the amount
of enforcement that should be given the law,
they all agree that the law is bad one and
ought to go. The Waldo and Penobscot or
gans are working avowedly to this end, and
We have not much doubt that the Argus has
the same object in view, though its method
of accomplishing 1t is more artful. The Ar
gus's zeal for the rigid enforcement of the
law springs from two considerations: First,
1t expects to toll into the Democratic camp
the Prohibitionists for the purposes of the
next election; and second, it expects rig
i'd enforcement will make the law SO OBJ
noxious to the Democrats that there will
be general demand on their part, if the
Democratic party succeeds in capturing the
State government, for its abrogation. We
believe that the Argus and the AGE are not
SO far apart on the prohibition question as
at first glance they appear to be. They are
both working to accomplish the same end;
they only differ in regard to methods. In

The Bartholdi Statue.
Kew the Public Can Aid in Completing
the Pedestal.

The Bartholdi statue of "Liberty Enlight-
ening the World, which is now being loaded
on the French transport Isere at Paris for
shipment TO New York, is the largest statue
in the world. Some idea of its magnitude
may be obtained from the fact that 40 per-
sons found standing room within the head.
A sixsfoot man standing on the level of the
lips only just reached the eyebrow. Fifteen
people might sit around the fame of the
torch, which elevation can be reached by
spiral staircase within the outstretched arm.
The weight of the statue is 100000 pounds,
Of which 10000 pounds are copper and the
remainder wrought iron. 1t is expected to
arrive in New York about the 18th of May,
where it will be erected on BedIoe's island.
When placed in position, 1t will loom up 305
feet above tidewater, the height of the statue
being 1912 feet, that of the pedestal 81 feet.
and foundation 81 10 feet. AS for the arts.
tic merit of the statue, the pose, stride and
gesture, with its classic face, have been pro-
nouDced perfect; the drapery is both massive
aud tiue, and III some parts Is as delicate and
silky 10 effect as if wrought with fine CHS
ell on the smallest scale. The conception
and execution of this great work are due TO
the great French sculptor, NJ. Bartholdi, who
devoted eight years of his life aud most of
his fortune to this great work, and whose
generous impulses, which must be on scale
commensurate with this noble work, prompt
ed him to make such gift to the United
States. The committee in charge of the
construction of the base and pedestal for the
reception of the statue is in want of funds
for its completion, and has prepared statuss
cite, an exact counterpart OF the original,
six inches in height, the figure being made
of brouze, the pedestal of nickel silver, which
it is now delivering to subscribers through
out the United States Tor 81 each. All re-
mittances should be addressed to Richard
Butler, secretary American committee of the
statue Of Liberty, No. SO Mercer street, New
York. The committee is also prepared to
furnish model in same metals, II inches in
height, at SIS delivered. 1t is hoped the peo-
pie of this country will be only too eager to
testify their grateful sense of the friendli-
ness Of this magnanimous offer on the part
of the French people, and to reciprocate the
kindly and liberal sentiments in which it
originated, by thus aiding in an active pros
ecntioa of the labors that may be required
to give the statue an appropriate base and
pedestal,

Another death caused by powerful elec-

The Mugwumps have criticised these ap-
pointments severely, which they are entitled
to do if they wish, and have demanded that
the President revoke them, which they are
not entitled to do at all, for dissent which
takes on the form of attempted dictation is
an impertinence which the Democratic party
did not stand from Mr.. John Kelly and
Tammany Hall aud will not stand from any
anli-Blaine Republican init ators of that

deed we are by no means sure but this fight
is purely Pickwickian, and has been arranged
10 order that while The Prohibitionists are
being conciliated the ''liberals" may not be
scared off. 1t will be rem enbered that when
the Democrats were preparing to hitch up
with the Greenbackers fight similar to the
present one was waged among the newspapers
and it prevented, no doubt, many de-
sertions on The part of the hard money men.
The game worked well then, but games of
that kind seldom can be worked twice.

The Hon. Patrick A. Collins of Boston in
q speech on Wednesday night completely
knocked out the Mugwump defence of the
nominations of Chase aud Pilsbury, that
the President was deceived into making
them. ''The man." said Mr.. Collins. "who
says he was deceived bellttles him; that
man Mr.. Cleveland is a man with long
memory and wide experience, and he
moves with elaboration and solid sense,
and stands responsible for his acts" Plead
ing the baby act on behalf of the President,
as the Mugwumps have been doing, is, in
Mr.. Collins's opinion, not likely to increase
public respect for him.
