The Cecil County Ne,cs, the
doughty champion of the temper
ance cause, has a few words to say
to The LEDGER and Newarkers, gem
orally, in its last issue. It speaks OF
"the outrageous violations Of the
license law in their midst, they
would strike better lead.'n This
is news to us, and we are positive to
ourtowns-people. "And it is safe to
say that one half of the whiskey
sold in Newark is cold in violation
of law Now the editor ofthe Neaos
knows that he is asserting to some
thing he can't prove. Probably to
outsiders Newark may bear very
unsavory name, but there is no vio-
lators of the license law, and the
Nescs editor cannot prove such.
Understand us that we are not
championing the whiskey cause, but
we will not allow articles giving
Newark bad name to go answered.
AS for quietness and sobriety
there is not another town we know
of can equal Newark. A christian
gentleman remarked the other day.
81 think Newark a model town.
There is such good order, and a
marked absence of drunken men"
If the total prohibition law of Cecil
county would prohibit its citizens
from coming here or elsewhere,
great good would be achieved. The
Neaos is misled or only guessing, and
you know, nsighbor, that will never
do. Our laws are respected and no
man makes a criminal of himself.
The temperance cause is growing
and the time will come when Con-
gress will look into the matter of
distilling. All this must be brought
about in good time. Sudden CON
illusions do not always work salts
factory.

AT a meeting of Sussex county
Pomona Grange, the following re-
solutions were adopted;
WHEREAS There is due this State
from the general government the annual
sum Of $4,000 under the Hatch bill, for
the maintainence of an experimental
station in agricultural and
WHEREAs, Delaware College, at New
ark, has made inadequate returns for
$4,000 annually for sixteen years, making
the grand total of loss effected by this
college is $4,000, that rightfully should
have resulted in SO much benefit to agri-
cultnrali and
WHEREAS, This State through its
special interest in fruit, and its prospec-
tive interest IN vegetable growing for
the large cities, has a unique field of ex-
Fermentation therefore
Resolped, That we respectfully request
His Excelleney Governor Biggs to SO act
concerning the first payment of $4,000
apportioned for this year, as that the
money should remain in the treasury
for time so that the cause of agriculture
throughout the State shall not be pre-
judged to its injury ere the Legislature
shall have opportunity to establish at
some proper point station capable,
under natural laws, of filing the expec-
tation Of the bill
A sort of dog-in-the-manger CON
Germ. This $4,000 claimed to have
been "grand total loss" does not
say much for the number of students
that have graduated from the Col
lege. Before any good will emenate
from this $4,000, promised, there
should be full understanding of all
parties. 1t is folly to bubble over
the matter. The State of Delaware
is not SO large that it would affect
any individual as to where the ex-
pertinent station is located. If ap-
preparation must go to Sussex or
Kent all well and good. The Col
lege wants a good head, and unan-
unity of feeling among the Trustees
and before many years there will be
a good attendance of students. Of
late there has been too much tramp
ing done on the College-too much
jealousy existing that ought not.

attained greater perfection or more de
served reputation in this vicinity than the
manufacture of carriages. buggies and
road wagons and the leading exponent of
this trade is the Moline Buggy Works, of
Moline, Mr.. ]. H. Wilson, proprie-
tor. This business has been established
for number of years and has steadily
developed and increased, its progress be-
ing commensurate with the energy and
enterprise displayed in its management,
and in the period elapsed it has assumed
the proportions of large and successful
industry. The main building is large
three story structure fronting on Moline
avenue. the shops being in the rear, ex-
tending to the river, a distance of $50
feet This establishment is well arranged
and equipped throughout with the most
improved modern ID chinery and ap-
planes and tb material used
is the best that can be found, and ell
work turned out is first>class in every
particular, the workmen being all skilled.
The phaetons, buggies, road wagons, etc,
are unexcelled in workmanship and dura-
bility. A novelty which they now man
ufacture is a spiral spring, which is in
serted directly under the seat of vehicle,
making it more comfortable in riding.
Mr.. Wilson has a large local trade besides
shipping throughout this and adjoining
states. He has won the esteem and
respect of all classes by his inhexible

HOLY WEEK.
An Important Period In the EeeIesias-
teal Calendar.


Today commenced the sixth week OF
Lent. 1t is known as Holy week or Pas.
sion week. 1t was formerly called the
Great week, and its observance is nearly
as old as that of Easter The Thursday
before Easter. Maundy Thursday, March
80, is the celebration of the institution OF
the Blessed Eucharist, the anniversary of
the day on which the Savior celebrated
the passover with his apostles. AS early
as the fourth century the day was OBJ,
served by u solemn communion in the
evening. in imitation of the Lords last
supper. On this day the penitents, who
were put out of the church on Ash
Wednesday, were received again, AT the
Lords supper He washed the feet of His
disciples, and in imitation of this the
sovereigns OF England for many centuries
washed the feet of their subjects on
Maundy Thursday. james the second
was the last king who observed the rite
in person. On the same day they dis.
tributed gifts at Whitehall, from which
the day took its name, from "maund.
meaning basket.
Good Friday. March 30. the commem-
Grafton of our Savior's sufferings on the
cross, has been observed since the very |
early days of christianity, and always as
a day of strict fasting and humiliation.
The observance of the day is becoming
more common in business circles, the
board of trades and many other organi-
cations doing no business on that day.
Easter Eve. or Holy Saturday, March
81, was formerly observed as day of
strict fasting, even after the fasting of
Good Friday. During all this day the
body of the Lord lay in tomb, and its
,vening was marked by virgils, the
aithGul watching for the promised resur-
ectiOn. The feast of Pesach, or the
ewish festival of the Passover, CONS
neuced today. 1t is in commem-
ration of the preservation of the first
