THE FOUR TIL OF JULY.

This lay, the anniversary of Amer
lean independence; the return of the
day so revered by all true patriots the
universe over, should not pass with
out mention in our columns. Ninety
six wears ago to day Witnessed the
grandest act ever cOnsutnmated or
ever recorded in the pages of history.
\ few. rising in their concentrated
power against the many; a day that
witnessed the exalted homage OF a
foreign born American to Republican
institutions. The great Patrick Henry
seems to stand before US while penn
inr these thoughts. In every part of
the habitable globe this dayi> hOnored
ard celebrated, ever in the metropolis
of that kingdom that by tyranny and
oppression, s. years ago, lost the
brightest rem she ever laid claim to.
ON every ocean and sea, whether the
stars and stripes float i'll placid still
hess or are torn to shreiS bV the
heavy gale and filter like meteors at
the gatf's end. this day Is held sacred.
ge day American citizens can stand
erect in every city, town, hamlet, ave,
on every fOrtIticatlOn or castle IN the
New World or the Old, and celebrate
the anniversary of their cOuntrys IN
dependence. Ought not all American
citizens. without reference to birth or
oriylna na|tionalitv. to meet on com
mon ground this day? Verify we think
so, The P~harisairal idea of some,
that on accouut OF the accidental re-
nloval OF their tOr~eththers from Euro
pean to American shores. they are
better Americans than adopted clti.
ZenS. should not prevail on this day.
Every true American citizen Is an
American to day, and can rejoice In
the freedom of his adopted country
and his own. AMI whit " celebrate
the anniversary of the Fourth OF July,
I776. let u NOT forget that the motto
of the si.!ners of the Declaration OF
Independence. Union Is Strength"
is as applicable to the people TO day as
n~inetv->jN years ago. We must unite
against the aggression OF ices TO the
liberty of the masses nov. As strongly
a. the fathers OF independence united
against the foreign foe that sought to
eu,lave them years ago. The jewellers
in this fair town have abundant reason
to rejoice to day. Carson City Is &C
knowled -ed by all to be the gem of
the Silver State; the garden of the
Great Basin: the oasis Of the ~sagebrush
desert. Daring the pat year our
beautiful town has greatly improved.
IntwO months from this time Carson
will be the cente OF railroad eOmmu
nication. and before another Fsurth OF
july shall dawn. will be the radlus of
the railroad business OF the whole
State. Taxation j., for the present,
high. but property is prOportIoRately
Increasing in value. ON Norm Carson
street, where a year ago nothing but
Chinese wash hou>es and miserable
shauties were to be seen, is now a con-
tinuouS row of respectable looking
business houses. In the suburbs can
he found private residences As good Is
in Sacramento, and around all of them
fruit and other trees growing IN rich
profusion. Then let this day be one
of rejoicing; let party feeling and IA
tionaI prejudices be dropped: let us
celebrate to day As free and independ-
n Americans should. And whilst
we rejoice on account of the past, let
us be thankful for the present.
