the Pedestal Fund.
The Bartholdi pedestal fund is nearly
complete. The statue has arrived and
soon New York harbor will be graced
by the most magnificent colossal statue
the world has ever seen.
'.Liberty Enligh:ening the Worldr'
What priceless blessing personal IL
Derty is. 1t is the shrine at which
people, ground under the heel of ty-
ranny in the Older worlds, worship
with a fervency that Americans can
scarcely realize;it is a principle for
which Nihilists willingly die the death
OF dogs; and fit and proper it is that
at the very entrance of the Bay of New
York this. emblematic statue should
flash welcome to the world.
! The press is, entitled to the credit of
this achievement. Mr.. Philip Beers,
who has been making circuit. of the
country on behalf of the Pedestal fund,
says that the fund will certainly be
raised, as the World does not know the
word fail.
MIR. Beers says that he has found the
most pronounced generosity among
those of foreign birth. They seem
more appreeiative of liberty than
toa our native born. Moreover,
among some strange prejudice seems
to exist.

Mr.. Beers's experience and the re-

Eyes, stree, every cent needed for
the pedestal will be raised. OF course
it will be a great triumph for the
World, but would it not have been an
eternal disgrace had our people failed
to provide for this pedestal?''
