This affair promises 10 he the finest and most
Important display Of the kind ever seen on this
continent

The ovation rendered TO the President ycstcr-
day along the whole line Of the parade was u
magnificent tribute OF the plain people alike to
the office and the man. Long live the President
Of the United Statrsi
One Of the pcassntest reflections inspired by the
parade WAS that these were practically oil citizen
soldiers. few days ago they were to be seen in
the workshop, the counting house. the saesroom.
busy with the arts OF peace. Tomorrow they will
oil have returned thithcr. critic might find fault
with their appearance and discipline, contrastcd
with the standing armies OF the Old World, but
who would not prefer host of frcemen, volun-
tarily armed to defend their own, to on army Of
conscript slaves yoked together for the selfish good
of u domincering monarch Who, at any rate,
does not prefer an Industrious, producing, tax
mying army to one that represents just much
dead loss to the nations working force and just
so much dead burden to the nations taxpayers?

Just give IL half chance. and 1t I'LL take care Of
itself.
No air Yesterday met with more general ap-

President Harrison has not forgotten the att In his
brief but admirable address in WaiLst yesterday
he touched with single stroke an event OF which

week-the rescue OF the Danmarks passengers
and his Characterization leaves nothing 70 DO
added or taken away. What could be finer than
the single sentence In which the President OF the
United States paid tribute to the gallant captain Of
