Arizona citizen., 1878-08-16
Fourth Of July in Paris.


 It may be a little late to print any
 thing about this day for 1878, but inas
 much as Arizona is made very con
 spicuous at the grand Universal Ex
 position in Paris by reason of a dis
 tinguished pioneer of the Territory
 standing officially at the head of tn, American department, we feel war
 ranted in making some extracts from
 "The American Register" published
 in Paris, regarding the observance O
 the glorious Fourth " in that city
 Says that paper of July 6:
 "The Americans in Paris were glad to profit by the chance afforded them of publicly celebrating the 1O2nd an niverSary of independence, and there
 was an unexpectedly large attendance on Thursday at the fete champetre given in the Pre- Catelan. The Amer iean colony was represented by its principal members, but perhaps the larger part of the guests were recent visitors from the States. Our Commis sioners at the Exhibition were present Governor Mccormick and Mir. Picker ing being greeted on all sides with hearty eordiality MT Cunliffe Owen tue President of the British Commis sion, had responded to the invitation of the committee, as also NJ. KrantZ the Commissioner-General of the Ex hibition, and several gentlemen of his staff. The pretty costumes and the un. restrained merriment of many children, gave a gay and lively tone to the after noon's proceedings"
 Then follows a lengthy account in detail of the day and interesting in- cidents, and continues thus:
 MT. Krantz, the Commissioner-G Gen. eral of the Exhibition, who was next handed to the platform, improvised in few measured words, and spoke earn estly and feelingly of the bonds which have united America and France since the days of Washington and Lafayette NJ. Krantz is an esteemed representative of the French people, and his grace fully expressed and sincerely patriotic sentiments were received with cheers for France and for the Exhibition.
 NIT. Cunliffe Owen, the popular President of the English Commission laid stress upon the present ties of strong sympathy between England and the United States, and wound up his speech by tribute to the abilities of Governor Mccormick, who next spoke, his appearance on the platform be- ing the signal of loud and hearty cheers.
 Governor Mccormick said: "Ladies and gentlemen: 1 had not proposed to refer to the American representation at the Universal Exhibition of 1878, pre- ferring that others should speak of it, but the very complimentary remarks of MT. Owen must be acknowledged with gratitude. All who have the pleasure of his acquaintance know that he is sincere in his kindly expressions, and that no one has had longer experience in exhibition affairs.
 His allusions 10 her Majesty the Queen and the Prince of Wales have met the warm response here that they would everywhere in America, for the good feeling now existing between Great Britain and the United States amounts to more than a sentiment We need not look for a better reason for the active part taken by the Prince of Wales in the Exhibition of 1878 than we find in the fact that to his good father, the estimable Prince Albert, more than to any other Stateman of his time belonged the merit of originating snd making the great Exhibition of 1851, at London, a conspicuous sue cess-a success which at once estab- lished the International or Universal as 8 recognized and valued institution in the worlds routine.
 Paris in 1855, Paris in 1867, Vienna in 1873, Philadelphia Tn 1876, naturally prepared the way for the rich and re- markable display of the products of human ingenuity, industry and skill, in the inspiring presence of which we today stand.
 Appreciating the happy results which have hitherto followed these mighty demonstrations in the interest of uni versal progress, prosperity and brother hood, let us hope that the teachings of Paris in 1878, may long be felt through put all lands, and by all nations as a potent protest against war, and an ir- -isistable appeal for peace and good will among men"
 Other speakers made remarks. Fire works were very fine and continued ill nine o'clock, p. m.
