the Pedestal Fund.

The Bartholdi pedestal fund ;s raa,,,-
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 Enlightening the worldr'
what priceless blessing personal lib
erty is. 1t is the shrine at which peo-
pie, ground under the heel of tyranny
IN the older worlds, worship with a fer
vency that Americans can scarcely real
lie; 1t is principle for which Nihilists
willingly die the death of dogs; and fit
and proper it is that at the very en-
trance of the Bay of New York this en-
blematic statue should flash welcome
to the world
The press is entitled to the credit of
this achievement. Mr.. Phillip Beers,
who has been making a 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.
Mr.. Beers says that he found the
most pronounced generosity among
those of foreign birth. They seem more
appreciative of liberty than do our ma
tive born. Moreover, among some a
strange prejudice seems to exist.
''PrejudiceP In what PARTICULAR"
81 have ever found that however
meritorious thing may be, thousands
of people will inevitably be prejudiced
against it. 1 have spent most of
my life on the road and know the
American people like book In 1879
personal misfortune illustrated this
prevailing prejudice. 1 was very i'll,
and had suffered for several years with
headache, tickle appetite, dreadful
backache, cramps, hot head, cold hands
and feet and general break down of
the system. dragged myself back to
New York, seeking the best professional
treatment. 1t so happens that among
my relatives is distinguished physi-
clan who upbraided me roundly for
preaching 50 much about my own case.
Finally, with some spirit, remarked
to him:
"Sir, you know that much of your
professional wisdom is pretense. You
are controlled by prejudice. You can
not reach case like mine and you
know it, can you?"

the point, for it was Bright's disease of
the kidneys which had Frustrated me,
and the school-men admit they cannot
cure it. Having cured myself, however,
in 1879, and not having seen sick day
since, my relative finally admitted that

Mr.. Beers's experience and the recent

kidney disorder, proves that the physi-
