THE DE KALB STATUE.
Its Origin and History-The Promoters
Of the Work

Of the Work
1t is to be hoped that the dedica-
ton of the De Kalb statue will mark
a new era in the history Of Annapo-
lis and that the spirited movement of
the figure will spur to energy our
younger generation. Let the massive
granite mark the grave of the moss
backs and be respectful reminder OF
the century Of conservatism which
passed in considering and re-consid-
eriDg the question OF doing something
to realize the Resolution OF the Con-
gross Of 1880.
While some efforts were made dur.
ing the FIRST fifty years ofthis century
to obtain the action Of Congress tho
practical beginning of the result we
are to celebrate on Monday was a
resolution introduced in our City
Council by j. Writ Randall, Esq
followed by similar appeal to our
Legislature by j, L. Scharf, Esq. In
Congress Gov. j. y. Groome ener-
getically urged the movement with
success 10 the Senate and it was sus-
tanned by Hon. Il. NJ McLane in
the House and received the approval
OF the President, in 1888.
10 the meantime Mr.. L. B. Mayer
Of our city had called the attention Of
his friend Mr.. Il. Keyser. the sculp-
tor, Of Baltimore to the possible favor
able result of the efforts of our repre-
sentatives and an admirable model
Of small size was prepared by the
sculptor then in Rome aud promptly
submitted to the Secretary of State,
Mr.. Frelinghuysen, accompanied by a
memorial from leading citizens OF
Maryland, asking the selection of the
artist as Marylander and on account
Of his professional prominence.
After some notifications and finally
by an entirely new model the idea of
the present statue was developed and
by q strict adherence to this original
inspiration great success has been
obtained. To the interest shown in
the work of Mr. A. A. Adee, the
then third and now second assis-
tant Secretary of State, aud to bis
taste and judgment aud steady faith
in the ability, of the sculptor we owe
an obligation.
AS a site for the statue Mr.. Adee,
Governor W. L. Hamilton and Mr.
Keyser chose a position on the Cam
pus Of st. Johns College on account
of its unsurpassed advantages for the
display of the vigorous action of the
statue and also as the scene Of Reyo-
lutionary incidents closely connected
with the presence Of De Kalb, WASH
ington and Lafayette and as having
been the camping ground Of our
French allies, many of whom. both
officers and men. being buried there.
Both Mr.. Frelinghuysen and Mr..
Bavard expressed their entire APP
prevail of this selection OF site bat

L may interest our readers to
know the process of production of a
bronze statue such as this, as thus .
better appreciation Of the artists
labor and difieulties win be obtained.
As We have mentioned above the
first step and the most important as
guarantee Of iinal success is the
production Of the small model which

keeping with the good sense mani
tested by Mr.. Powderly and his CO.
laborers of the national council. To
them it is wholly due that there was
not more bloodshed, and that tonight

To THE prevalently dishonest prac-
tice of watering stock much, if
not all, of the discomfort among the
laborers Of the country is directly due.
To pay required dividends upon such
stock the public is robbed in the form
of heavy tariffs on freight and passage
and the workingman is cut down to
starvation wages. To put stop
to this every legislature should
make it felony pun
ishable by fine and imprisonment for
any corporation to issue a certificate of
stock or a bond that does not represent
actual labor, the vouchers for which
ought to be kept on file as part of the
assets of such company. 1t is simply
robbery for a man to put forth for cir
culation on the Exchanges bond or
certificate of stock that really repre-
sents nothing of work or wages Banks

The Marquis of Salisbury is anx-
ious to profit by the disaffection
among the English Liberals, and with
them form coalition or hermaphro-
dite Ministry, but neither the
Marquis OF Harrington nor Mr..
Chamberlain WI consent to
it, The disaffected Liberals only dis
agree with Mr.. Gladstone upon the
home rule question, and do not pro-
pose to give up their cherished princi-
pies and make common cause with
their political enemies against their
political friends to an extent involving
a continuance of the Gladstone min
istry and the life of their party.
The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1886-04-10

WATERING stock is bad enough, but
sometimes the men who have the
greed of gold upon them, the craze for
wealth, issue bonds besides, and thus
often make the people pay dividends
three, five and even twenty times
over on the original cost of great en-
terprises. This is the way the poor
man is kept poor, and this is the way
we are making savages who, in the
large cities, are muttering the thunder
that, some day, unless a remedy is
applied, will break with destructive
effect to life and property.

FROM a telegraphic dispatch from
New York in another column it will
be seen that the law authorities of that
city have been put in possession of
evidence to convict all the Alder
men of the present board of bar
gain and sale and corruption,
and District Attorney Martin says
those also of other years of bribery
and corruption. In view of this
avowal many Of the aldermen and ex-
aldermen have fed from the city,
and their whereabouts can only
be guessed at. The public
owes this information chiefly
to eX-Alderman Waite, formerly
owner of the Brevoort House.
Upon his confession Mr.. Rich
mond, president of the Broadway
Surface Railroad, was arrested yester-
day. 1t looks as if a worse than
Tweed ring will in time be uncovered,
and many now honorable names be
covered with indelible disgrace. The
greed Of gain is at the bottom of it all
the haste 10 be rich.
