Congress, and especially the House, is not much
disposed TO take its cue In legislation from mass
meeting or business mems gatherings In New
YORK city, holding that Wall street is a very

chants and bankers happen TO coincide with the

The bill introduced recently by Representative
Cox, OF New York, apprOpriating 100000 toward
the completion OF the pedestal OF B,tatuOdS statue
of Liberty Ea!ightening the World, is one which
should be passed by Congress without delay. The
statue In question was given by the people of
France TO the people OF the United States and was
formally accepted on behalf OF the latter by the
proper authorities 1t is, therefore, in every sense
national affair. The idea symbOlised is noble
one, alike in conception and realization, and the
place chosen for its location is the best and most
appropriateithat could be selected. That the money
necessary for the completion of the pedestal has
not been provided long ago is not very creditable
TO US as people, nor TO the rich men OF New York.
to whom repeated appeals have been made in vain;
but the fact that the needed sum has not been vol
UNFAIRLY contributed does not relieve those who
represent the American people from the response
bty of properly dlsposng of the gift after it has
been accepted Not to do so, indeed would be 4
burning disgrace to the United States and little
less than an insult to the friendly and patriotic
people OF France.
