THE TRUE PRoHI ZEAL.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 31.-David Alex
ander, who tried to assassinate Bishop
Whitaker Sunday last, pleaded guilty
this morning before Judge Arnold. DR.
Andrews, of the county prison, testified
that Alexander was sane on every Other
subject except prohibition. When asked
by Judge Arnold what he had to say
Alexander rose, and In an eloquent voice
addressing the court, said:
always thought the church should
help support poor widows and orph ans
and when q mau, the minister of church.
openly denounces prohibition, /, as q
Christian, consider it vile and base
crime: but when q man ranks so high as
bishop I think he is guilty of very vile
crime, indeed, and is hindrance to the
church, instead OF a support. They speak
| OF increase of the good cause and the
church, but when bishop is allowed 10
openly and publicly denounce prohibition
think it shows great decrease.
