The United States owes some of
the South American States lesson.
No sooner had Santos been released
by the Equadorian government than
another Imprisonment of far more
disgraceful character comes to light
from the Argentine Republic. The
information confirms the fact that a
man named Thomas Moran has been
imprisoned for twenty months by
that government. The editor of q
newspaper in that country brought
the matter to light and called the at
tention of our Minister to it. The
information concerning the case, as
given by this newspaper, leads us to
believe that he is imprisoned unjust
ly, and has tried in vain for trial.
He is characterized as an honest, in
dustrious and upright man. The
most speedy efforts will be made by
our Minister and government to re-
lease our fellow citizen. Nothing
can be more grave cause for in
suit on the part of a government
than the Imprisonment of one of its
citizens. An effort to suppress all
such insults is commendable to our
government.

The completion of the Bartholdi
pedestal fund almost establishes as a
fact the superstition that nothing is
impossible. On the 18th inst. the
subscription list amounted to $102,-
600. The popular character of the
subscription is shown by the fact
that the subscription list contains
100, 900 names. The World has the
honor of accomplishing the greatest
feat that is known to American
journalism. 1t saved the city of
New York of a shame and disgrace
which four months ago seemed inev-

of-the metropolis of our country, as
we'll as that of the whole country,

by his assistant or by himself in

The Brooklyn Eagle, republican
newspaper, in speaking of the rejec-
ton OF Mr.. Kelley by Austria be-
cause his wife is of Jewish extrac-
ton, says: 'This country, knows no
distinction on account of religions
1t recognizes entire freedom of creed
and worship. 1t recognizes the equal
rights and citizenship of those of any
belief or of none. 1t recognizes the
equal eligibility of them all to public
trusts. 1t will not concur with a
theory from any quarter that creates
or assumes reasons of disqualified
ton of it's citizens which it does not
itself entertain, especially such as it
expressly prohibits and detests.
Catholics and Jews are as truly citi-
zens as any other people. They are
just as law abiding as any other cit
liens. Equal rights and equal bur-
dens are theirs. A discrimination
against them is one against the
Republic which refuses to discrimi-
nate against them. No American
administration could stand for a
moment in public opinion, which

Mrs. Grants Probable Income.
New York special to Philadelphia Press.
The financial resources available
to Mrs. Grant are at present not ex-
actly ascertainable, since they are
dependant somewhat on the action
of Congress as to the balance of the
Generals retired pay for the current
year. The receipts from the Gener-
ais book will be hers. Estimating
these receipts at seventy-fve cents
per volume for an edition of three
hundred thousand copies, she receive
1926, 900, or an annual income, at 4
per cent, of $4,000. To this will
probably be added $4,000 year as
widow of an ex-President, and the
net rental of the Goth street house,
which, outside of interest and taxes,
may amount to $4,000. So that in
all probability, if as is reported,
Mrs. Grant has full life interest in
her husbands property, she will in
the course of twelve months or so.
enjoy an income of $4,000 to SIG,
600. This is all independent of the
income arising from the trust fund
of $255,000. In that sum of money
the General possessed right of dispo-
sition, and, until his will is made
public, it will be impossible to say
whether he has given his wife life
interest or whether he has distrib
uted this money among his heirs.

A Great Instrument.
Letter in San Francisco Alta.


The organ has 2,7O4 pipes and 81
stops. Some of the pipes are fifty-two
feet long and large enough to admit
the bodies of three men. The towers
that rise on either side are forty eight
feet high, with a niche left between
them for the Goddess of Music. This
immense temple of music, which is
nearly as large as a cottage, is elab-
orately carved by hand.
1t is impossible to estimate the cost
of it, as it was built in early days,
when freighting was done by OK teams
across the plains, and many of the
workmen only received provisions for
their labor. But they are people who
will not be outdone, but when the
Episcopal Church built their beautiful
organ at Salt Lake City, the Mormons
at once began to improve theirs,
which was all show and framework,
and have already expended $4,000

toned strains of that powerful organ,

Anecdotes of the Harpers.
From the Philadelphia Ledger. !

From the Philadelphia Ledger
A pleasant paragraph is afioat
about the original Harpers, of Harper
Brothers. We know OF others Of the
same sort When Harper's Monthly
was first established, a magazine
writer (still living but now out of
practice and out Of fashion) wrote
for Godey's Magazine, under a pen
name, sketch which was reprinted in
an English periodical. 1t was "ac-
cIimatized'' by the change of dollars
into pounds and quarters into shill-
Strand, ETC., that the British publish
er might boldly say: cts English,
you know" Harper's at that date,
did not hesitate to appropriate En-
glish matter, making no exclusive
pretentions to originality. The
English version was reprinted in
Harper's. Forthwith Mr.. Cooley, in
his humorous way, assailed Harper
by mail with letter and copy Of his
magazine containing the sketch, which
was called my Brother Tom" And
the author in person. who knew the
Harpers well, walked in upon them to
have his little joke. He stated the
case, and James, who gave audience
to all corners, patiently heard him
through, and gravely answered.:
"Well, if you don't want your matter
appropriated you must bring it here
in the first place!" After that he did
so. On another occasion the author
of "My Brother Tom," who has the
privilege of the prefix of reverend"
to his name, found the pleasant old
gentleman, James Harper, in a very
pleasant mood. Ut is said, but we
don't believe it, that the usual answer
to applicants for mission money and
that sort of thing was that ''the Harper
Brother who attended to that part of
the business was out" The author
of ''My Brother Tom" never was so
answered, for he never made such an
application.) AS Brother James Har-
per felt that it was in this case safe
subject he made of his own motion a
pretty long speech on the privations
of ministers of the gospel. But he
wound up with a consoling reflection:
"Ah, well; they have a rich father to
fall back on. His are the cattle on a.
thousand hills" Brother Harper closed
his eyes with satisfaction at his apt
scripture quotation. But he opened
his eyes with establishment and his
mouth with laughter when his visitor
retorted: "True enough. But what
use are the cattle to us If we don't
milk them?"

Cremating a Church Mortgage.
New Haven Cor. New York World.

New Haven Cor New York Worldl
The congregation of the St. John
Street Methodist Church were treated
Sunday morning to a novel sight-the
burning Of a mortgage Of $4,000, the
last item of debt upon their church.
After the sermon the pastor stepped
down from the chancel and took from
within his vest folded manuscript.
''This." said he, "is a mortgage. Until
now I've never seen one. Have you
any idea what theholders of this bond
could do? They could turn you out
of your church, but thank heaven they
can't do it now for it is paid" He
then tore the paper into slips, and
crumbling the pieces into a ball, placed
it on a tray. Lighting a small lamp,
he ignited the ball, and while the con-
gregation sang the doxology, themort-
gage of $4,000 was burned to ashes.
When the services ended the trustees
assembled and held second crema-
ton. Upon the same tray which held
the ashes of the mortgage the note was
burned. During the service many OF
the older members were moved to
tears. The ashes are now inclosed
in a. sealed envelope, but will
soon be placed in a silver urn which,
with the lamp, will be inclosed in a
glass case and hung IN the parlors oil

SOMEBODY'S DUDE.

Into rink with four bleak walls,
That blazed with glare like midday light,
Where never a shadow of sorrow falls,
Somebody's dude Stroled in one night;
Somebody's dude so young and SO white,
Wearing upon his innocent face
Never a sign of manhood's might,
But his ecarf-pin showed a suspicion of paste.
Carefully combed are his raven curls,
That lightly lie on his delicate brain,
And in his fingers he languidly twirls
In ceaSeeSS motion q gold-headed cane;
Somebody carefully combed his hair;
Was it his mother, whose sight now fades?
Was it a bluShing maiden fair,
Or a barber as black as the ace OF spades
There's never a doubt he is somebody's pet;
Somebody's heart has enshrined him there;
Or mother, who waits at the head OF the
stair;
Maybe maiden, with cheek of rose,
Is sadly awaiting this missing link,
And there he stands i'll a beautiful pose,
In the glamour and glare OF the skating rink
But there comes a man full of honeyed guile
And faStens the cruel skates to his feet;
Then stands aside with a cynical smile,
And waits for his head and his heels to meet.
Kiss him once for his grandmother's sake;
It's doubtful if ever she kisses him more;
The skates from his feet so tenderly take,
Sweep out the debris and close the door,
