AN APPEAL FOR AID.

Week after next probably, the good
transport Isere Will sail from France for
New York, bearing to America the gift Of
France to this republic, in the form of the
" the new wonder of the world" the Bar
tholdi statute of Liberty Enlightening
the World" But America is, unfortu-
nately not vet prepared to receive it, and
1t must lie prone on the docks some time
after it, arrival, because the pedestal
which We are to prepare for it is incom-
plete 1t Is unfinished because the people
Of America have not been sufficiently
prompt in subscribing the moneys ncces-
sary to meet the cost. 1t has been a
standing reproach 10 us that this is so.
We do not believe that it indicates any
lack Of patriotic spirit, but is due to mere
procra,tination, to the general and false
impression that New York city should
raise the whole sum, and to lack of good
management. Something ike a year ago
General Stone was placed in charge of the
work of erecting the pedestal, and it has
gone on steadily ever since when there
was money on hand to pay the workmen
But frequently the funds have been cx-
hausted General Grant conducted last
summer a loan exhibition in New York in
aid Of the pedestal fund, but the net result
was far below expectation \ good deal Of
money Is yet needed. Ii ii comes to hand
promptly the great statue can be set up
before the summer Is over. New York
should not be called upon to raise all
che money, for it is u national work.
While it Is to be set up in New
York harbor, it Is not gift to
New York, and that city has only di-
vided interest in it, The statue is the
mightiest work of art known to man in
figure designing. The Colossus Of Rhodes
was nothing to it. Says the London Daily
Neles: d" 1t could carry the Bavaria or
the Hermann in its arms. 1t towers to
the skies from the yard of the Rue de
DazeIles, where it has been eight wears in
construction, and the view from its coronet
sweeps clear Of the six-story houses and
beyond the walls of Paris" This superb
structure weighs no less than 10000
pounds, and the stupendouS statue when in
position Will loom up sos feet above the
tide level. 1t will thus overtop the great
towers of the Brooklyn bridge, dwarf the
highest steeple of New York-Trinity
Church-and stand so loftily and grand as
to make the light in its torch clear to view
at greater distance ut sea than any other
fixed light on the globe. That patriotic

indignant, since it has developed that the

not, and we are inclined to doubt it, still
it is wise regulation that closes bars at

PERFECT ART.

President Cleveland is said to speak dis
paragingly of the Bartho,di colossal statue
as mot perfect work of art" The Pres
ident must form his judgment from small
models and from drawings. lie may or
may not be an art critic of competency,
but if so he has not been heard Of as
such. Those who know much about statu-
airy know this, that it is objectionable to
judge of it by representation. Especially
is this true of colossal work. It's pose.
stride and general effect cannot be judged
by any dwarled copy or any possible repre-
sentation by the designer or artist. Such
figures must be seen in their original form,
from a proper point of view and amidst
the surrounding for which constructed.
But it suggests itself to us to ask if Pres
ident Cleveland or any one else has ever
seen perfect work of art?

THE Chicago Current says that one
grand thing about the English people Is
that they do not make party capital out OF
national peril This is 4 smooth SEN

would, we think, find it difficult to accom-
alodate the fact to the expression. The
party line has not relaxed under the
present threat to England to any
material extent Has Lord Churchill, for
instance, and the party at his back, re-
Taxed a particle in aggreasiveness toward
the Gladstone Administration Has he
not improved the opportunity to az
vance the cause of the opposition, or is all
the world mistaken about the political
status in England? 1t does not follow that
one may not be patriotic and still oppose
the policy of an administration. 1t does
not follow that, because a partisan main

IT would be Creditabie TO the Eastern

they could realize the Stiffness of giving
so much consideration to an inflated show
man like Mapleson. His troubles with
the singers he hires are given altogether
too much publicity in the press, to the ex-
clusion of matter that would be OF prac-
teal benefit to the general reader. The
man is altogether too cunning fellow for
the press. He manages to secure an
amount of free advertising at the expense
of the newspapers that no other travelling
Snowman has received, and it would APP
pear that the most of the newspapers have
not had the wit to see how easily the man
uses them 1t is safe to say that the tele-

Meeting House, adjoining the proper.
ty of j. T. Mccullough, was entered
by burglars and robbed of goods con-
sisting principally of clothing and
silver ware, to the value Of o 800 or
over. Among the articles stolen were
2 silk dresses Of Mrs. Thos. and the
children's winter clothing, Three
drawers containing children's cloth
ing were cleaned out by the thieves.
The entrance was made through a
window opening on the front porch.
The thieves rumaged all over the
house, taking two breast pins from
the bureau of the room where Mr.. &
Mrs. Thomas were sleeping. The
rogues appear to have belonged to
the most covetous class, taking every
thing they could lay hands ON, even
to the dish cloths.
An attempt was made on the same
night to effect an entrance to Charles
Churchman'S house, but the robbers
were overheard by one of the children
who gave the alarm which frightened
them away.
On the same night Zacharia Leon.
ards house was entered, where the
thieves helped themselves to as much

tempt was made on Mr.. Leonard's

Commissioners, which may be of gen

hearing the case the court allowed Ss7,
which was deduction of one dollar

that vagrancy is not an offense of

Bad Boys at the Depot.

A friend has placed in our hands
a private letter from a passenger in
the cars last week, who complains,
and justly. Of some bad conduct of
bows at our depot. We give a few
extracts from the letter.
GAS the train stopped there yester-
day evening l was sitting by an open
window. Several boys opposite the
rear car were peeripg into it and
making remarks not consistent with
good breeding, when presently part
of a handful of dirt came in through
the window
The gentleman lowered the window
on receiving this salute, but while do.
ing so, he writes, Il saw a boy in the
act Of hurting another handful, part
of which came in also"
This gentleman makes some sug-
gestion after stating the above facts.
which meet the case and we give them
below.
Now these boys probably have
fathers or caretakers who are perhaps
ignorant that they are guilty of such
conduct. 1. would be we'll for some
one having boys under their care. to
insist that they do not swell the idle
crowd about the depot. When the
seeds of mischief vegetate in such
companies they grow with great lux
uriance. But if those directly respon-

others of you interested in the respec.

part of your citizens should feel es-
