THE APPROACHING CELEBRATION.


Little more than week remains in which
to prepare for the Centennial celebration all
over the country. Each town and village VIII
no doubt express its patriotic feeling III It's
own fashion, but naturally the interest OF all
centers in Philadelphia, which is the only place
where the Government or foreign nations will
take official part in the rejoicings. Care should
be exercised that these rcjoicings correspond
To the great meaning of the occasion, rather
than to the exigencics of the Exposition. ii -
by all means fitting that the ceremonies shall
take place in Old Independence Hall. There.
and not in the palaces of the Exhibition, Is
the old homestead OF the nation to which her
children are coming up on the Fourth in reyer-
ence and gratitude. We concede the magniii-
cent success of the Exhibition no nation ever
set out an entertainment so superb for It's
friends on its birthday but on the Fourth 1t
becomes but little thing in contrast with the
associations which cluster about the State
House and give significance TO the day.
"The cclebration.on the Fourth" as stated by
the committee, "is an affair of the entire pco-
"ple.- All the States did not join in the Ex-
hibition; for that reason therefore, we suggest
the celebration by the people in which all the
| States must he represented w n'lh dS
| matter wholly apart from the Exhibition.
Virginia, which doubtless for sufficient rea-
SONS of her OWN declined to take part In the
| great Fair, can certainly be i'll spared from
| the State House where, a hundred years ago,
her sons forced on several reluctant colonies
| their freedom.
! Il is reported that the Commissioners are
| considering the propricty not only OF holding
the official ceremonies within the Centennial
| grounds, but also of charging for admission to
them. Ii is not at all probable they will make
so great a mistake. The poorest American cit
izen surely has right to take part in his
countrys rejoicings on that day. No body of
men have the authority to make of the ma
tional rejoicing a raree-show to winch only
comparatively well-to-do people shall be adj
mtted.
Let the official recognition of our liberty be
given on the spot where that liberty was born.
So much belorgs to the people The EXPOSE
| ton will in any case reap sufficient harvest
on the occasion to satisfy its friends or If it
is absolutely impractlcable to accommodate the
multitude in and around the State House, let
| the place of meeting wherever it be stand with
omen doors TO the world. We offer these
suggestions with every confidence that plain
common sense will commend them to the Com
mssoners. The managers at Philadelphia
have so far conducted the Exposition with
marked success in their appreciation of the
demands and rights Of the people. We have
little doubt that the approaching greater Ma
tional festival will be managed with equal
regard for justice and good feeling.
