the supreme bench, and all who were his
colIeagues::in the constitutional conven-
ticn speak in highest praise of him.

The criticism that the Democratic
ticket is largely made up of lawyers-if
that were any objection-is not valid.
1t is true that the Republican and lnde-
pendent tickets are entirely made up OF
representatives of the legal profession
who follow it distinctly and exclusively.
But of the Democratic candidates only
two are lawyers to that extent. Mr..
Black early abandoned law for literature
and is a journalist and farmer Mr..
Africa is a surveyor and accountant
with special qualifications, acquired by
education and experience, for the office
to which he has been named while Mr..
Pattison has had little experience at the
bar, and achieved his reputation by his
steadfast devotion to public economy
and his unfaltering warfare on public
thieves and rings.

ISDEPExDENcE DAY PREPARATIONS.

How the Glorious Fourth Will BE Celebrated
Here and at Lititz-splendid Fire
works In Prospect.
The arrangements that have been com:
pleted for the observance of the national
holiday at Lititz tomorrow indicate that
the celebration will be grand affair, and
there is not much doubt that q great crowd
will be present. Special excursion trains
will be run from this city and other points
on the Reading railroad at reduced rates
of fare, and the committee in charge
promise that the celebration will fully
satisfy the expectations of those who 60
out to witness brilliant display. The cello
bration will take place on the
beautiful springs grounds. where in
the afternoon there will be ad.
dresses by B. Frank Eshleman and
VIM. F. Boyer, esqs., of this city, and
other formal exercises. In the evening
the GROUNDS will be magnificently iliumi
mated, and continuous discharge OF fire.
works will be kept up until late horr.
The details are in competent hands, and
it is notable fact that Notwithstanding
the big crowds that are wont to be present
at these annually recurring festivities there
is seldom if ever a disturbance that rises
to the dignity Of police notice.
In this city there will be probably the most
elaborate pyrotechnical display ever wit
messed here. It will take place on the
lawn Of J. 3. Martin in Lancaster avenue,
and will be III charge of the following com
mittee Mcssrs. John L. Arnold, Julius
Levy, IT,, Chas. G. Schuberth, John L.
Martin and Ernest Zahm. These gentle.
men have for the past few weeks been
canvassing actively among the citizens OF
tho "West End :" aud elsewhere. and up
to this time have raised $3.50, which they
have used in the purchase of fireworks.
which they have secured at wholesale
rates from New York firm, and which
the gentlemen of the committee say will
90 more than twice as far as tho same
amount at retail prices. The display will
be notable in the variety afforded and will
| include rockets, roman candles, Chinese
flyers, plain and colored mines, and
the thousand and one other de-
signs known to the pyrotechnist's art, be-
sides which there will be six or eight fancy
| exhibition pieces. A band Of music will
be present and enliven the occasion with
! patriotic selections, aud altogether tho eel
bration of tho republic birthday at home
is expected to far surpass any similar ct
fort of former years, ard the gentlemen OF
the committee are deserving Of much
praise for their active labOrs to make the
display worthy of the occasion.
| 1t has been erroneously reported that
tickets entitling tha holders to seats from
which to witness the exhibition would be
sold. The fact of the matter is that a
subscriber to the movement is furnished
with an admission ticket for self and as
many ladies' tickets as he may desire.
Fully thousand seats have been erected
that command an excellent view of the
exhibition, and subscribers can secure
their tickets from any of the gentlemen
of the committee whose names are printed

receive contributions today and to-mor.

That ssCOrrectiOn."

The Ne,C Era of Saturday says:
Chairman Hensel was determined the
people should know his party was IN favor
of protecting the industries of Pennsylva-
mia, aud the necessary information was
distributed day or two after tho platform
itself had been sent out. This plan has
it's advantages. Send out your platform
and hear what the people think OF it.
Anything that seems demanded can b.
added at any time thereafter anything
superfluous can be withdrawn.
The inference of our esteemed cOntem-
porary that the declaration Of the Demo
cratic platform " in favor Of the l'fotec
ton of the industrial interests of
Pennsylvania" was interpolated as we'll
as g sent out +" after the platform was
adopted has no warrant III the facts OF
the case. AS any one will remember
who paid attention to the reading of the
platform in the hearing of the cOnven
tion. the words which we have italicized
were il part of the committees report.
they were so read to and adopted by the
convention, they arc in the original draft
of the platform and also in the copy OF
it prepared by Mr.. Hensel for the use OF
the associated press, us can be seen on
file at the HarriSburgh telegraph Office,
and finally in the report Of the proceed
ings of the convention published on the
same day by the Harrisburg news
papers the platform is printed cor.
rectly. The omission was en-
tirely the fault of the telegraph oper-
ators in transmitting the platform to the
associated press. Mr.. Hargreayes, agent
of the ass ,ciated press, investigated the
matter and found this to he the case be.
fore he sent out the correction, and had
he informed the Ne,c Ero of the facts
as he knew them, it would doubtless not
have fallen into the error contained iI
the paragraph We have quoted, and which
we feel confident it will correct as soor
as its attention is called to it.

FIRE MATTERS.
4 False Alarm-Tw0 Attempts at lnceN
6iarfDm.

a False Alarm-Two Attempts at lncsN-
Giarism.
On Saturday afternoon about o'clock
fire alarm box No. 26, located at the cor
ner of Chestnut and Market streets, was
struck, and the firemcn hastened in that
direction. The alarm proved to be false
one. Smoke was seen issuing from under
the roof and between the weatherbOarding
of the one-story attachment of Bitzer's
cigar mandatory, corner of North Queen
street and the Pennsylvania railroad. and
several persons thought, naturally enough,
that the building was on fire and some one
sounded the alarm. There was no fire,
however, the smoke coming from a defec
tive or clogged flue in the kitchen of John
Reese, who lives next door to Bitzer's !;
and the smoke, being unable to escape
from the top of the flue, was forced back
into Bitzer's part of the building.
Last night about II o'clock some one
applied match to large stock of empty
dry goods boxes, in Court Avenue, in rear
of r. E. Fahnestock's dry-goods store.
No damage was dore, the fire being dis
covered before it had made any consider
able headway.
Last night about 10 o'clock alarm box
No. Is was struck, bright fame being
seen in East Grant street in rear of the
Lancaster county house, issuing apparent
" from Thos. Jefferies' frame carpenter
shop. This was not the case, however,
as tho flames arose from q large pile of
dry stable manure adjoining the carpenter
shop, to which some one had applied a
match. The fire was extinguished before
any damage was done, but the frame shop
made a very narrow escape.
Chief Howell requests us to again eau
ton persons who hold alarm box keys, tG
be very prompt in sounding an alarm of
fire, when there is fire, but to be very
certain there is fire before striking the
alarm,

AcREEABLY to its promise, the Daily
Examiner on Saturday signalized the tenth
anniversary of its birth by donning a
stylish new dress that visibly improves its
appearance. The type is clean, handsome
and open-faced and gives the paper
an inviting look that does not fail
to win upon the readers favor. Our es-
teemed contemporary iudulges a natural
propensity in looking back over its past
career, with degree of satisfaction that
is, however, amply justified by its success
in the field of local journalism. We wish the
Eraminer many happy returns Of the day,
and do not doubt that the very credisable
achievements of the FIRST decade will be
more than equalled by the next.

The Olympian heights; whose singing

Straight to the mark. and not from bows

But with the utmost tension OF the thong:
Where are the stately argosies ofsong,
Whose rushing keels made music as they

Sailing in search of some new continent,
With all sail set, and steady winds and

Perhaps there lives some dreamy boy, un-

In schools, some graduate of the field or

Fearless and first. and steering with his

For lands not yet laid down in any chart.
