Errnch nrnnnmcnts to LIhertY

The goddess Of VI. Bartholdi will be
unveiled to-day, and by the time Apollo's
steeds have been safely stabbed In the ocean
much English and many bottles will have
been broken in the effort to celebrate a
great event. 1t is eminently wholesome
and entirely becoming that upon certain
occasions even great nations should break
out into exuberant friendship, after the
manner Of young ladies engaged to be mar
ried, who meet and overwhelm each other
with profuse congratulations.
France and America meet once again to
renew devotion to the principle they have
done so much to propagate, and, within
view OF n colossal monument which French
genius has chiseled into beauty, to bury un-
profitable records beneath the hopes and
promises of a greater era.
The world has not yet by any means
fully realized the debt Of gratitude which
civilization owes to France. Monuments
Of brass and marble are, at the best, but
symptoms OF the feverish desire, which in
modern times broke out first on French
SOIL for the amelloratlon of the classes so
| well described ms 'disinheritedn
America may well be grateful to a nation
which produced La Fayette and BartholdI,
but the whole world is under lasting obli-
cations to Rousseau, who, with the gift of
the golden mouth, first whispered to polite
Europe that existing civilization was a sham;
and TO Noltaire, with his demon sneer, who
called attention OF emperors and kings to
the handwriting upon the wall. What fitting
statue shall commemorate the Christlike
life and works Of LIIopital or the renovat-
| ing political influence Of Turgot? When,
and In what form, shall criticism com.
pensate st. Beuve, or theology acknowledge
her obligations to Pascal, Bossuet, aud
Fenclon? How shall iurlsts symbolic
their thanks for the humanizing influence
of Montesquieu, or men Of the world for the
wise lessons of Montaigneg
-Sydncy Smith said, "great men hallow q
whole nation aud raise up all who live in
their time" France has done great work
for liberty in every department of art aud
science, but the highest monuments to hei
fame are the names, within two centuries
Of those "spirits finely touched" )" who, with
out one side look, Travelled the hard roat
Of truth towards liberty, ard spoke o
wrote, painted or worked, thought or san.
with absolute indifference to mortal con
sequences.

Tho narthoIdi Ceremonies.

1t was contemplated that arrangements
would be made to have present at the cere-
monies Of the Barthold Statue OF Liberty
the son Of the late Commodore Samuel g.
Reid, the "hero Of lhe battle OF Fayal, .
who designed the form of the present flag
Of the United States in 1878, and who, us
the commander Of the celebrated brig Gen.
Armstrong, in the fight with a British
squadron at FHyal In 1914, fought the great
est battle on the seas, which did more to
establish the liberties Of our "second war
of independence" than any other fought
with England.
1t would have been a most fitting and
appropriate tribute to the memory of this

should have been present, but on account
Of the inclement weather It was considered
injurious to run any risk OF his health,
which has been quite delicate since last
summer.
This is much to be regretted, as Col.
Reid is a good French scholar, and his
father was u warm friend of the late mar
quis, Gen. Lafayette, who, on his visit to
New York in 1924, expressed the desire to
see "the bravest man In America, who wa 5

Two thousand workingmen were thrown

The fire of the 18th instant was the third

The most active workers at the fire were
