NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. WHISKY

People sometimes say "These tenn
perance people are just set of rellg-
ious fantics, led by the clergy" 1t
may we well for such to read what the
chief skeptic in America says about
rum. No one will accuse Robert c..
Ingersoll of being led by the clergy.
But on this one subject he talks good
deal as they do. In speaking to a jury
in case involving the manufacture of
alcohol, Col. Ingersoll used the follow
ing language:
81 am aware that there is a prejudice
against any man engaged in the manu-
facture of alcohol. | believe that from
the time it issues from the coiled and
poisonous worm-in the distillery-
until it empties into the hell of death,
dishonor and crime, it demoralizes
everybody that touches it from its
source to where it ends. | do not be-
lieve that anybody can contemplate the
subject without becoming prejudiced
to the liquor crime. All we have to
do, gentleman, is to think Of the wrecks
on either bank of the stream of death,
of the suicides, of the insanity, of the
destitution, of the little children tug
ging at the weary and faded breasts of
weeping and despairing wives asking
for bread of the talented men of gen.

THE BARTHOLDI STATUE.

Our Sister Republic of France gave us
the Bartholdi Statue OF Liberty in COM
memoration of our attainment of the
First Century of National Independence.
1t is at once the grandrst and most mag
nificent gift ever made By one country to
another. The cost Of the Statue was
$3.50, 900, which vas raised among the
French people by u popular subscription.
able Pedestal for this colossal work.
About SlS5, 900 was raised through tie
American Committee, but that was $780,
600 short of enough to complete the Ped
eStal on 4 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 Amcri
can Committee, in an address issued to
the public, til 1t 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 sum required by popular subscrip
ton. The response has been wide and
deep and general. At the close of the
eighth week we have about 1000 on
hand which has been contributed by
more than 30, 900 people. Seldom has
there been seen in the history of our
country readier or more enthusiastic
response to the call Of Patriotism. The
French ship bearing the Statue of Liber-
ty to us has already left its port on the
the other side of the Atlantic, and is ex-
pected to arrive here about the 10th Of
June. 1t is hoped that the IF0,}d $ fund
! will be far on the way towards s1G0, 600
ere the gift of our Sister Republic shall
come into New York harbor. Werenew
our appeal to the people. Let us come
upland complete this great and enduring
will do us honor for the respect We have
shown noble and patriotic sentiment.
Subscriptions need not be large. Drops
of water make the ocean, and the dimes
and dollars of the people will prepare 4
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.

WHETHER or not the result of the
agricultural fair just closed here can
be taken as fair test of the popular
ity of spring meetings is a question.
The season was very much against
it. The weather has been SO back
ward that farm work usually all done
up and out Of the way by this time,
is now just in its heighth, so that the
majority of those on each farm were
compelled to forego visit to the
fair. Another year this might not
be the case, which would very mater
tally swell the attendance at the fair.
The meeting was undoubtedly very
pleasant one, enjoyed by all who at
tended, whether financially success

The United States of Columbia Will Part
With 1t for Consideration.
The Pacific Mail steamship Acapulco,
which left Aspinwall on the 18TH ult.,
arrived in New York on last Wednes-
day morning with full passenger list,
the First Battalion of United States
Marines, returning from special duty
on the Isthmus of Panama, 10 naval
general court-martial prisoners from the
vessels of the North Atlantic squadron
stationed at Aspinwall, and the mem
bers of the Nicaragua canal survey.
She brought also three handsome
horses which belonged to the late Gen.
Barrios, of Guatemala, one of which
he rode at the battle of Chalchuapa,
where he was killed, and an assorted
cargo, largely composed of coffee and
bananas. Prominent among the pas
sengers are DR.. Rafael Zaldivar, ex-
President of San Salvador, who is en-
route to Europe for pleasure.
1t was rumored among the passen-
gers on the steamer that one of the OBJ
jects of the mission of Senor Holguin,
Columbia minister of finance, who was
passenger, was to ascertain the senti-
ments of the United States as to the
acquisition of the Isthmus of Panama
as neutral state, its separation from
the Columbia Union being question
now much discussed in that country,
which sadly needs repairs to its de
pleted finances. The project, most
heartily advocated upon the Isthmus
itself, is now, it is said, finding favor

Murder III the FIRST eS5tcc-kichihohu
Rejoicing Over the Result.
At Richmond, Va, Thomas J. Cluve-
RUS was on Thursday last found guilty
of murder i'll the first degree for the mur-
der of Lillian Madison, whose dead body
was found in the city reservoir on the
morning of the 18th of March last and
the city was in a state of great excite
ment. The trial occupied 2G days, and
was one of the most interesting in the
criminal annals of Virginia. The pris-
oner had little or no sympathy in the
community Never was public senti-
ment so strong against an accused per-
son. While the evidence was entirely
circumstantiai, Il strong chain of guilt
was woven about Cluverius, though, in
the opinion of many, it needed some i'm
portant links to make it complete. The
verdict was rendered at 9:30 on Thurs
day night, and five minutes after it was
announced the news had spread all over
the city. 1t was everywhere received
with manifestations of delight. In the
upper portion of the city ladies went
from door to door telling what was con-
sidered good news.
The counsel for the prosecution re-
ceived numerous boquets and notes from
ladies saying: Thanks for your noble
defence of the dead Lillian
Counsel for the defence have made a
motion for n new trial, but it is thought
the Court will not grant it.

THE WOODLAWN TRAGEDY

".NIH, 7IiM raging drink WHdWcd,
Is far more SG.'a2c and Wtahrd'
We feel no disposition to magnify
by sensational comment the narrowing
details of the tragedy of Saturday last.
Suffice it to say that the simplest story
of this miserable mans crime affords
strange comment upon the depravity
of the human heart, and exhibits the
fearful lengths to which the unrestrain-
ed indulgence of the passion for strong
drink may finally lead man.
The time can be measured by few
fleeting months when he who now COW
ers tremblingly behind his prison bars,
as slowly returning reason pictures dim
ly to him the frightful magnitude of his
crime, was a respected citizen, faith
| full husband, and considerate father.
To this, those who best knew him
will readily testify.
OF respectable family and connec-
ton, reasonably prosperous in worldly
affairs, enjoying the comforts of apeace-
full home, blessed with the companion
ship of a loyal and devoted wife, there
was no cause other than his own beget-
ting why this blighting sorrow should
have fallen upon his hearthstone,
His career forcibly illustrates how
weak a thing man is even taken at his
best.
"Iaiu human kind! fantastic race!
Thy carried 70eakXrsS 00Ao can trace ?"
This man knew as we'll as he breath
ed that rum was his weakness. He no
doubt made frequent but weak endeav
ors to put it beyond his reach.
One at least we know of.
When the question of local option
was pending before the people of the
county he ardently advocated it, and
when the time came voted openly for
the prohibition of the sale Of intoXi
cants. Yet, with the usual inconsis
tency of the victim of this passion, on
the night of the day that he SO voted
he yielded to intoxication.
His subsequent career only repeats
the experience of those who like him
have fallen by the wayside of life, over
come by the mastery of demon habit
cherished in his own bosom.
Hourly his passion grew by what it
fed on.
Weakened affection for those bound
to him by the closest ties of kindred
and family.
Increasing insensibilityto the protests
of affection d.the kindly remonstran-
ces of friendship.
