THE NORTHWEST CENTENNIAL
The Centennial Settlement Anniversary Gel

The CentennIaiS settlement Anniversary Cell
ebrated at Marietta, O.
MARIETTA, o., April 6.-The celebra-
ton Of the hundredth anniversary of the
settlement of the Northwest Territory,
from which was carved the states of
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and
Wisconsin, commenced here, and will
continue three days. The first settlers,
under the leadership of Gen. Rufus Put
nam, the revolutionary soldier and
friend of Washington, landed at Marietta
on the 18th of April, 1878. The city is
richly decorated, and is filed with dis
tinguished and substantial guests. The
states OF Connecticut, Massachusetts,
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wiscon-
sin have official commissioners and rep
resentatives here.
The celebration is purely historical in
Its nature, and the only expositionf feature
is q full collection of rare and interest
ing relics and American antiquities gath
cred from a variety of private sources,
which has never been equaled in variety
and richness The initial exercises con-
sisted of d short speech by Hon f. g..
Sessions, president of the Ohio ArchB-
logical society, and an address on the
building up of the state, by Judge Joseph
Cox, of Cincinnati. He sketched the
history of the famous ordinance of 1907,
and traced the rise of the spirit of colon
ization to its place of generation in the
hearts of the best officers of the revolu-
zion, who set On foot the movement to
found a territory in the great west.
He said, armed and protected with this
ordinance, the pledge of their govern
snent, the brayest of the soldiers of the
Revolution in the dreary midwinter of
17S7,S hade farewell to all the cherished
e~ndearments of their homes and birth,
and took their solitary way over fields
made CORY by the blood of the slain kins-
men and many q hard-fought battle,
crossed inhospitable mountains and
waded through snow and storms, scantily
lclothed and poorly fed, and after many
weary weeks, on the 7th of April, 100
| years ago. landed on yonder point, be-
meath the shadow of these monuments of
a race long since swept from the face of
the earth. That memorable 7th of April,
1887, should never be forgotten, or passed
over in silence, by any who yenerated the
heroic character of the great men and
women who first planted their feet on
the soil on that day. The ordinance of
1887 in the general mind is referred
to as only an instrument that forever pro.
hibited slavery in,the territory north Of
the Chic river, but in contained infinitely
more than that Its principles are greater
than those OF the Magma Charta wrested
by the English barons from King John

of independence, the first capitalization
of its principles into organic law. 1t

Governor Hill in tho Race.

Albany, N. T.. April 5-The New
York Herald correspondents telgraphs
his paper as follows: "You may put il
down as settled that David Bennett Hill
she keen and willy governor of New York
is in the field for the democratic presi-
Dental nomination. Anyone who, for
any reason, pins his faith on rumors thai
the governor is gong to announce bis
d%eclination OF the honor before it is of
fered him is simply mistaken. The most
surprising of all these rumors was that
David, following the example OF the late
iamented Blaine, had written 8 letter to
some faithful henchman, which at the
proper time would be sprung on the
public. This was industrously spread
by friends of the administration. Gov
Hill has not written any such letter and
he will not write suoh a letter"

law. The veterans are urged not to neu-
tralize the effect of the effort by factious
opposition to any particular bill, but to
unite in all parties in favor of service
pensions. The terms OF a bill to be sent
to congress will be fixed at the next meet
ing of. the National association, to be
held at Columbus, o. Contributions are
called for to defray expenses. Indiana

likewise, and all state associations are re-
quested to identify themselves with the
