and the tympani of the citizens were almost
ruptured by q ceaseless fusilade of fre-crack-
ers, while after night had donned her sable
robes the eye was dazzled with rockets, pin
wheels, Roman candles and various other
pyrotechnics too numerous to mention.
While IN some localities the old customs
have been maintained up to the present
time, they have for the most part fallen into
disuetude. The day is still observed, how
ever, by tho younger portion of Young
America as day dedicated to noise and
ebullitions of fervid patriotism, and if, after
the day is done the celebrants retire to their
couches in a state bordering on utter exhaus-
ton, minus finger or two, their eyebrows
and hair scorched by burning powder or
their faces blistered by an inopportune ex-
plosion of firearms, they unanimously de-
clare they have had good time and wish
that every day was the Fourth of July.
Few men of mature years look back to
the days when they used to celebrate the
anniversary of our national independence
IN this manner without feeling of amuse-
ment and amazement-of amusement at the
recollection of the devices they adopted to
make the day intolerable and the night hide
Gus; of amazement that even in their ado
l-scence they could find enjoyment in such
insane FRANKS. Some, however, affect 10 be-
lieve that the explosion of fireworks contrib
utes largely towards the development of
Patriotism in the youthful breast, and resent
any interference with that privilege as di-
rect and tlaitorous blow at the national con-
science and life. 1t makes no difference to
them whether houses are burned or lives
lost through tho senseless practice; they es-
TEEN one days revel among the gunpowder
as essential to proper maintenance of the
national spirit. 1t is needless to argue with
such men. They have passed the reasoning
point.
We are inclined to favor the change that
has taken place since the war in the man
ner of observing our national anniversary.
1t should be universal holiday, in which
every one can rest and bring to remem-
brance the gallant struggles of our forefa-
theirs against despotism and in behalf of free
government. Excursions to the country, So
cial gatherings and picnics, and even the
participation in horse race and an even
ing dramatic entertainment are harmless d.
versions and endanger neither life nor prop
erty. They afford rest and recreation, while
they give ample scope for whatever ebulli-
tions of patriotism the day and it's memo
ries may inspire. It is far more rational
way of spending the day, and quite as con-
sonant with the spirit of the day.

The Associated Press seems to lend itself
to the defense of every fashionable felon
who asks its services. The defaultine bank
officials of the East have always found
ready apologist for their acts in the Associ-
ated Press, which has put the most favor
able construction possible upon their case.
Every respectable forger has had the excuses
fol his conduct spread broadcast over the
land, accompanied by heartrending descrip-
tions of the mental distress he has suffered.
The same agency has now undertaken to
palliate one of the most brutal murders on
record-the shooting of his coachman by
Blair, wealthy banker of New Jersey. If
the eastern papers are to be believed there
was not the slightest excuse for the act, yet
the Associated Press takes pains to send
mass of so-called evidence in favor of the
miscreant-evidently manufactured to suit
the emergency-to the four quarters of the
earth. We submit that the rich have abund-
ant means of securing vindication without
calling what ought to be an impartial avenue

Fifth Ward Sewers.

Not long ago the council passed an order
providing for system of sewerage in the
Fifth ward. In accordance Herewith the
board of public works advertised for bids,
etc., and awarded the contract to D. Null
len at $4,000. After all these prelimi-
naries, it seems that the work cannot
60 on. Yesterday City Comptrol-
Ter Roche notified City Engineer
Sewall to that effect. The comptroller holds
that he cannot execute the contract on the
part of the city, for the reasons that there
is deficiency to the amount of $4,000, or
thereabouts, in money on hand to make the
contract valid in execution under the char
tor. In other words, the council have pro-
vided $4,000 in bonds for this work,
but the local improvement fund
is wholly depleted. The charter
requires that this fund shall have on hand an
amount corresponding to the figures on the
contract. Such not being the status fnan-
cially, Comptroller Roche gives warming &C
cordingly. The difficulty, however, can be
removed by the council requiring that one
half of the assessments for the improvement
to be paid in before work begins, and then
begin again to advertise for bids, make
contract, etc.

THE DAY WE CELE

Time was when it was deemed the duty of
every patriotic citizen to celebrate the Fourth
of July with all the pomp, and circumstance,
and noise of which he was capable. The
booming of cannon ushered in the day, and
the rattle of 6re-crackers and torpedoes,.
pistols and muskets maintained the din
Then there was brief lull to enable the
brass bands to parade and escort the gath
cred throng to some grove where the i'm
mortal Declaration of independence was
reld by some embryonic elocutlonist, and
the, orator of the day aired his spreal-eagle
speech, consisting principally of energetic
denunciations of the tyranny of Great Brit
ain, and fulsome laudation of the inestim-
able benefits conferred on mankind by the
establishment of the American republic.
Then the pistols resumed their explosions,

compensation therefor. No provision for
payment OF fees of marshals and their depu-
ties has been made, nor can I make any CON
tract or promise that this provision
shall hereafter be made, but your perform
ance of your duties so far as the law con-
templates that they are to be compensated
by fees, seems to me to constitute a good
ground that the required expenditures
are to be made. l recognize the difficulties
you may have to encounter in all this mat

your expectation of future legislation by
Congress that shall be just to you. All other

A Sensation in Prospect,
New York Special


You may look for an excursion-boat dis
aster in New York harbor that will eclipse
all present efforts, if the present order Of
things continues. Now that the season at
Long Branch, Coney Island and Rockaway
Beach has begun, dozen rival boats start
out and return at nearly the same hour,
making two and three trips day. They
race down and race back. Already there
has been one collision, in which by mere
accident life was not lost, while the
narrow escapes from others have been
many. The Adelaide ran hard aground on
Oyster Island, causing her to leak badly, and
soaring the women aboard her within an
inch of their lives. The Plymouth Rock
and the Columbia have raced from Rocka-
way every day for a week. The ocean steam
ships, too, are getting into an unpleasant
practice of butting into each other on their
way out of the harbor, there having been
two collisions within week.

In the coroner's Office the reporter was
told that in the past ten years the fatalities
resulting from the celebration of Indepen-
dence day were exceedingly few-far less
than one would suppose. There was no APP
probable increase in consequence of what
might be called lively celebration. If the
day was very warm there would be sun
strokes among those who took part in par
AIDES or stood IN the sun watching them; but
there would be fewer laborers exposed to the
heat, and thus there would be no increase.
But sunstrOkes were cases for the doctors
rather than for tue coroners.
physician whose residence is in down
town locality, said that he was in favor of a
rousing celebration-rot because he could
do fair days work patching up shattered
fingers and picking powder grains out of
disfgured countenances if he wished to
labor, but because the day ought to be cele-
brated. He said that the people generally
have extravagant ideas about the number Of
accidents occurring on the Fourth. Compar-
atively speaking, there are very few accidents
of q serious nature.
Mr.. White, the keeper of the morgue, was
found standing in the door of his office,
luxuriating in the cool breeze that blew up
from the river. He is pleasant spoken,
youngish looking man, with wisps of gray in
his hair. Heis an efficient officer, no one
under his charge having escaped
since he became keeper "Healthiest
spot on the island,'' said he, gazing out
beyond the dead house, to where the water
was ruffled by the breze. Gan old-fashion-
ed Fourth for me he said, 'severy time. The
trouble with the people, especially those that
come in contact with dropping his voice
and gazing thoughtfully at the low wooden
building that extends over the water). is that
they have too little life in them. Now, a
man likes to see his fellow man
be lively and appreciate things
and make stir in the world. Memorial
day is observed; why forget independence
day? 1t is the birthday of the republic
Future events may make another memorial
day, and another; but there can be but one
Independence day, one Fourth of July
even in leap years. No; I don't remember
that we have ever had any noteworthy
rush here on the Fourth or the day fol-
lowing, even when the celebrations have
been the noisiest. And if there should be,
they would give us very little trouble. John,
show these gentlemen the one that came in
just after midnight. Step right along that
way, gentlemen. Yes, sir; you may count
me in favor of regular old-time, noisy
