THE BAR .YiOLDI STATUE.

Our Sister Republic Of France gave us
the Bartholti Statue of Liberty in COM
memoratiGn OF our attainment Of the
First Century of National "ren,l,nce.
1t is at oAca the gran lest a'.i in;,St mag
niticent gift ever made hj o.i- country to
another. The cost OF the Stitu2 was
$50 600, which Was raised among the
French people by Il popular su bsHri ion.
1t was left to America to prepare q suit
able Pedestal for this colossal work.
About $lS5, 600 was raised through the
American Committee, but that was $780,
600 short Of enough to complete the Ped
estal on scale of magnitude correspond
ing to the Statue. When there appeared
no hope of securing the needed 500. 900,
and when it was declared by the Ameri
can Committee, i'll an address issued to
the public, that if the money was not
forthcoming the statue would have to be
returned to the people who out of their
admiration for our free institutions and
love of patriotism had given it, the honor
of our country was thrown into jeopardy,
and it was at this juncture, now two
months ago. that the New York World
issued an appeal to the people to make
up the sam required by popular SubsCIip
ton. The response has been wide aud
deep and general. At the close of the
eighth week we have about $50, coo ON
hand which has been contributed by
more than $4,000 people. Seldom has
there been seen in the history of our
country il reader or more eIlts.!iai..atic
response to the call of Patriotism. i,ie
French ship bearing the Statue Of l. 5c.-
ty to US has already left its port Oh the
the other side of the Atlantic, .ni Is cy-

Jane. 1t is hoped that the ErrlH 3 el'i.d
will be far IN the way towards $lo0 coo
ere tie gift OF our Sister Republic shall
come into New York harbo". We rent W
our appeal to the people. Let us come
up aud complete t:iis great and enduring
Nlii,nal work. All the ages to come
will do us honor for the respect W. have
shown noble and patriotic sentiment.
Subscriptions need not be large. Drops
of water make the ocean. and the dimes
aud dollars of the people will prepare a
place for Liberty's feet.
A subscription list is open at the WING
office, and subscriptions of any amount
from one cent up, will be received and
forwarded. The names of all contribu
tors, and the amount contributed, no
matter how small. will be published in
the WING, and also in the New York
World. We trust that good list of
names of patriotic citizens of Cecil will
be sent in.

Ey-Goy. st. John on the i;epub!:caas.

Ex-Gov. st. John, of Kansas, addressed
a small audience at the courthouse at
Springfield, Illinois, last Monday night.
He severely castigated the Republicans
of the House of Representatives, for re-
fusing him the use of the hall for a lee
ture. He said he understood it was done
principally by the Republicans, and that
the Democrats were willing he should
use the hall. He charged that the re
fusal was the outgrowth Of spite, be
rated the Republican party generally and
laudcd the South, claiming that in all
the qualities of morality and good gov
ernment that section was in advance of
the North. THIS was especially the case
in regard to temperance, since there
was larger area of territory where alb
solute prohibition prevailed by the opera
tiun OF local option.

Maryland Ii":snc!, of the National Temper
aHce League.

ai'S i'f'tS''.
The following letter has been issued
by the Maryland Branch of the National
Temperance League:
BALTIMORE, May 20, 1855.
Dur frteHG:- G:-Impressed with a deep
conviction that an urgent exisency has
arisen in the history of the temperance
cause in Maryland, a number of persons
i'll all parts of the state have expressed
the opinion that a new organization of
the temperance forces should be effected
on broad basis To conserve and give di-
recti3n to this important reform. For
this purpose, after consultation, a meet
ing Was hal,! in Baltimore, May 1, 1885,
at which The Maryland Branch of the
National League (non partisan and nom
sectarian) for the Suppression of the
Liquor Traffic was organized, under
whose direction We Row address you.
y serious peril threatens the perpetu-
ty of our Local Option laws, by reason of
partisan methods. To combine as far as
possible all present efforts and TO create
new agencies for delivering society from
the evils Of the liquor traffic, this League
has been formed. It's members believe
that ali partisan political movements are
injurious to the cause of temperance, and
as 4 matter of history all success in this
work has been effected by the people,
and not by divided partisan action. We
further believe that the purposes of this
reform will be best SecEred by keeping it
clear from all such em6arrassmeutS.
The objects oi this League will be to ere
ate ami intensity public sentiment, to Sc
cure appropriate legislation leading ulti
mately to constitutional prohibition, to
protect and enforce existing statutes, to
prevent the disintegratlUn OF the temper
ance forces throughout the state conse-
quent upon partisan politi cal movements,
and to place before the people an organi-
ZatiOn. such as will give them full assur-
ance that non-partisan and non sectarian
temperance methods will be maintained.
1t has therefore been determined to eff
feet permanent organization i'll accor-
dance with these principles. A conven-
ton for this purpose, to be addressed by
Rev. Daniel Dorchester, ID. D., of Bos-
ton, and Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, of Iowa,
will be held in the Young Mems Christ
ian Association building, corner of Char
les and Saratoga streets, Baltimore, on
Tuesday, June ,, at , p. III. A mass
meeting to be addressed by the same
speakers and others, will be held on the
same day at p. m. Your presence and
cooperation are earnestly desired, aud it
is hoped that you Will circulate this i'll
formation throughout your community,
and influence as many as possible who
favor the movement to attend.
Ladies are especially invited to attend
the convention aud cooperate in the
work OF this League.
