tbs scene presented on Market street
last nis sht especially between the REGISTER
Office and Twelfth street was one wholly
unprecendented in the ANIMALS Of Fourth Of
July celebrations in this city. 1t seemed
that the usual spirit of fun and patriotism,
which opened the day, desenerated ut the
close into spirit of deylltry and mischief,
not to SAY vandalism.
Eor one solid hour aud . half, from 10
o'clock till halt past eleven, when
the police interlered, the territory
designated was one mass OF fire, shoulder
ing sparks, fleeing pedestrians and fright
ened horses, while the air was thick with
smoke, whirling sparks, Burning awnings
and exploding cannon crackers, thrown
into the crowds, at the passing Pedes-
trians, against the houses and into door
ways from one side OF the street to the
other. That no serions or fatal accidents
resulted from last nights fun" is little
short of q miracle. That the square is not u
smouldering mass OF ruins this morning Is
also due to good iortuae, for the awnings
ofthree buildings were destroyed or ruin
ed, while the blsziDg paper from hundreds
of enormous frecIack,rs lodged on win
dow cappings and sills.
The persons, who nave seen tit to take
advantage of the special license granted
them by the authorities, to oyerstep the
bounds OF order and deeency, have taken
q long step toward the absolute prohihi-
ton of fireworks hereafter in the streets OF
the city. Wheeling cannot take the risk
of another celebration" like that Of last
night. We are confident the insurance
companies will throw their risks on
the city another year unless restrictions
on the iuclinations of irresponsible and
reckless individuals are guaranteed. 1t
this cannot be done without a resort to
extreme measures-tO which bumiliating
necessity We should be sorry to see the city
reduced-such measures must he resorted

" ANhlNNlONp lSpO' y
Hon. JdHlts 4. FIack, Grant SGehsms.
DEAR SIg-I regret that am obliged
TO decline the courteous invitation which
have received to attend the celebration
by the Tammy Society of the birthday of
our Republic, on the Fourth of July next.
The Zeal and enthusiasm with which
your society celebrates this day affords
proof of Its steadfsst patriotism as well as
Its care for all that pertains to the adyan-
tage and prosperity of the people. can
not doubt that the renewal OF q
Love and devotion to a pure Jeffersonian
Democratic form af government, which You
contemplate, will suggest the inquiry,
whether the people are receiving all the
benefits which are due them under such q
form OF government. These benefits are
not fully enjoyed when our citizens un-
necessarily burdsned and their earnings
and incomes are uselessly diminished un-
dec the pIetext Of governmental support.
Oar Government belongs to the people.
They have decreed its purposes, and it is
their clear right to demand that its cost
shall be limited by frugslity, and that its
ouiuSu vi OleApcucc suaLi DC Cdlciuliy NUM-
ed by its actual needs, and yet
the useless and dangerous surplus in
the National Treasury tells no other
tale, but extortion on the part of the gov
eminent, and a peryersion of the peoples
intention"
The letter concludes: ut behooves the
American people while they rejoice in the
anniversary of the day when their free
Government was declared, to also reason
together and determine that they
will not be deprived OF the blessings
and the benefits which their Government
should afford.
Yours, very truly,
GROyER CLEVELAND.

The Origin of 'sHe's All Right"

Nearly every one has heard the
popular cry, "He's all right" repeated
Ia one form or another the present
summer. The Democrats who attended
the Baltimore National Con ventton
last week used It freely, aud It has
spread to the military regiments and
other organizations where jolly ex-
pressf0ns are common. This cry, like
many another that was aiterward made
popular, Is said TO have originated as q
term Of derision tor the pr0hibitionists
and for st. John, the candidate OF that
party for President In 1884. 1t had Its
origin In the West, and In about this
way: Gov. st. John had been Re-
publican party leader, as Is y ell known,
and when he accepted the prohibition
nomination for the Presidency he was
roundiy denounced by the Republicans.
They started the cry, "What Is the
matter with st. Johu?" The answer to
this was, "Oh he's all rightly" This
was accompanied with a significant
shake Of the head, which was meant to
imply that the Democratic barrel had
been tapped for ST. john, and that he
was abundantly Supplied with lucre and
liquid refreshments. The Prohibition
lists adopted the cry, and used It during
their canvass In 1884. When their con.
ventiOn met at Indianapolis In May of
this year, with more than 1000 delega.
ties and three times that many OF their
party friends In attendance, st. John
was one of the strong men, and he was
made the permanent chairman. At his
first appearance upon the crowded con-
venttOn platform II chorus of voices
cried out: "What's the matter with
st. John?" The answering shout from
the multitude came like a tornado.
''He's all right - and that was st.
Johns welcome by the Prohibitionists.
TIE Gen. Alger Republicans adopted
this cry at Chicago several weeks later,
and made the most OF 1t in the campaIn
for the favorite son of Michigan. The
Democrats have not learned the part as
well as they will hereafter, probably,
but 1t Is a singular thing that derisive
cry Of 1884 should have be-
come In 1888 the shout of each political
