mitted into the family of nations
The day has been celebrated ever since
with becoming ceremonies, and every
generation has had rehcarsed to them
the story of the Revolutionary strug-
gle, with its examples of bravery and
patriotism, of suffering and of sacri-
fee. Republican government is no
longer an experiment, and every
American can point with pride to
the many ordeals through which the
country has passed to its present stable
position as free government. The aim
of patriots should not be SO much to
talk and think of the past, as to pre-
pare for the future. After over
century of existence, it has become ap-
parent to the most casual OBJ
server that the greatest danger will
be from causes within and not
from enemies without. Rid politics
of its corrupting and blighting in
fuences, enforce the laws in every IN
stance, and let purity and patriotism
be the motive of every public official,
and the republic will grow stronger
as the years roll on; and on each re
curing 4th of July American citizens
can feel proud of the past, satisfied
with the present and confident of the
fnfure

cial dispatch was received by the Post
Intelligencer tonight from Snohomish:
About 12 o'clock to-day a man by the
name of F. w. Taylor, log driver, en-
ployed by E. G. King at Kelsey's landing,
three mi es from Woodenvilie, was found
drowned in the Samish river, near that
place. He left for his work in the morn
ing, it being his first day. When his
comrades went to dinner he was missed,
and, upon going back, his hat was found
floating on the water, when some of his
comrades took a pike pole and COM
menced search for him, and brought
him to the surface near some logs, where
he is supposed to have lost bis life. He
is man 20 years of age, and has father
in San Francisco. Coroner Smart has
charge of the remains, and will bring
them to Seattle in the morning.
A MIDNIGHT SCENE.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 2.-Shortly be
fore midnight on Monday, George Collins,
assistant marine reporter for the Her.
chants Exchange. sighted the schooner
Letitin passing up the bay, inward bound
from Port Madison. He at once put off
alone In his boat to board the schooner
and gather the report. Collins bad pull
ed away from the wharf about thirty five
yards when he heard splash, as if some
one had fallen or jumped into the bay.
He pulled in the direction from which
the sound came, and found man
1oundering in the water. After great
exertions Collins succeeded in getting the
man into his boat. The man assisted and
seemed to wish to he rescued. When he
got in the boat, Collins saw that he was
middle aged and OF robust build, weigh
ing fully $50 pounds. No sooner had the
man been lifted into the boat than he
stood up and approaching Collins, who
was also standing up in the stern CT the
boat, placed his arms with yisc-like
grip around his neck. Collins struggled
with his might and main, and the two
tumbled overheard, locked i'll each others
embrace, and sapk. Tnc stout man held
on to George with grip of steel. The
reporter, however, at last managed to
shake him clear,s and rose to the surface,
exhausted Had he not been swimmer,
he would certainly have been drowned in
the suicides embrace. After scrambiipg
into his boat, he saw nothing ms
would-be murderer.

pany, which was incorporated several
weeks ago. Our citizens are in earnest
in this matter, and if any of our lead

can be procured in one day. This

opposition boats are put on the river
other enterprises conducive to our

We should act Immediately, as we
have sufficient capital In the city to

We have always considered the
freak Of the Republican party in con-
,ress to pass free-coinage silver bill
species of demagogism unworthy of
he traditions of the organization, and
We note with consl lerable satisfaction
hat the final outcome of the silver
contest will be a bill to purchase
100000 ounces per month, issue
egal tender certificates upon it, and
coin so much as may be needed for
redemption purposes. Perhaps this
may be too close an approach to lnaa-
ion; but it is far better than the
first action of the silver men at Wash
,ngton City. 1t would have been con-
'istent for Democrats to support free
coinage, for that party for the past
twenty-five years have advocated the
vaguest theories upon questions of
finance; but Republicans have saved
he country from bankruptcy, estab-
'ished sound currency, and cannot
.fford now to stultify their admirable
record.

We cannot believe the better class
of the southern people will uphold any
such treatment of the colored people
as is given in the dispatches to-day.
There is evidently vicious element
who are determined to reinstate the
negroes in a condition of serfdom or
to exterminate them; hut the law
abiding citizens, and those who look
forward to an era of unparalleled
prosperity for this beautiful country,
should by every possible means repress
these acts Of violence. Their good
name abroad demands that all citizens
should receive equal protection under
the law, whether his color is white or
black.

If The Dalles does not push to an
early completion the system of water
works adopted by the council it is
doubtful if any other plan will ever be
adopted. AS usual, there will be dilly-
dallying, and the outcome will be that
this city will either pay a fabulous
price for the old property and thereby
cripple herself for any new project; or
else the time will be frittered away by
useless experiments, until the $4,000
a year interest have practically bank
rupted the municipality. We hope
the pumping system will be pushed
for ward as rapidly as possible, and
that it will not share the fate of other
schemes which have sprung into life in
this citv.

present ministry will last the time for
which it was elected. There are un-
uistakable signs of disintegration, and
it would be no matter of surprise if
the government is defeated at any
time, and that will end the rule of the
Tory party for many years. The next
general election will be a Liberal VIC

every department of government. 1t
is more true than ever that the world
moves, and hereditary monarchy and
privileged classes by reason of birth
have less apologists every year.

The Art of Fast Walking.

Walter Shirlaw in Harpers Weekly.
Persons who have never been trained TO
walk fast generally quicken their gait by
bending forward and lengthen1ng the
stride, at the same time bending the knees
very much at each step. 1t is pretty safe
to cay that no one can possibly adopt
this style and keep fair walk at faster
gait than six miles an hour. The fast
walker must keep himself erect, his
shoulders back, and chest thrown out.
He must put down his forward foot and
heel first, and with the leg Straight. He
must take strides so quick that they look
short. He must, if he expects to get
good stride, work bis hips considerably.
overcoming the sidewise tendency of the
hip movement by compensatory swing
ing of the arms. The length of stride in
fast walking is astonishing to those who
look at it. A little figuring will make 1t
clear why this is SD. There are 1,760
yards in mile, or 1,76O strides three feet
long. To do mile in eight minutes
walker must cover 220 yards minute,
or eleven feet second. Now 22O steps
minute-nearly four seconds pretty
quick work, as any one may discover for
himself. Even three steps a second, or
1S0 to the minute, seems quick. The
chances are that your eight minute man,
although his legs move so quickly that
the steps seem short, is not dong AS many
rs 200 steps to the minute, and conse
quently the stride is at least feet inches
With a little practice man feet high
can easily maintain 4.foot stride for
half mile.
1t Is true that fast walking is an arti-
fetal gait; but 1t is also true that practice
at fast walking will quicken mans un-
artificial gait. One who can do his mile
in z 80 in racing trim and on the cinder
path, can walk in the street at slx-mile
gait without either getting out of breath
or becoming red IN the face, and without
attracting attention by any peculiarly of
his gait except Its swiitness. 1t is real
gain to any man TO be able 10 walk
mile in ten or twelve minutes without
over -exertion or fatigue; to be able TO
walk FIVE or six miles for every four he
used TO walk without any more conscious
effort, aud with sense of enjoyment in
the mere exercise that he never had
before.
The walking records of some Of the
ordinary distances stand. One mile, 6
minutes, 20 5 seconds, F. P. Murray;
two miles, 13 48 3-5. F. P. Murray; three

The Taxpayers of The Dalles should
take the greatest interest in the cleo
tion Monday for two water commits
sioners to fill the vacancies caused ty
the expiration of the terms Of Office of
Hon. z. F. Moody and Mr. Geo.
Ruch. Bids are now being advertised
tor the pumping system, as not only
che most available: but the single sys-
5em which can lie inaugurated for the
AMOUNT oil funds which we have re-
;eived on the sale of the water bonds,
and there is the most urgent necessity
that the work should be pushed
forward as rapidly as possible.
Furthermore, if We pay an exorbitant
price for the old property, we purchase
IN Insufficient supply, an old plant and
his subject to lease of seven years
of local corporation. II we were to
,ay $4,000 for the old water-works
We should have insufficient left to
'naugurate any other system, and
would force our people to use in their
families this vile slush for years to
,ome; besides leaving about one-half
# the city without any water supply.
The Dalles absolutely needs new
water-supp!y, adequate and pure, and
the Columbia river will furnish such.
If the commission are in harmony
with the council in the pumping sys-
ten, there will be no pickering or
strife in the matter; if not, although
the council will pursue the course it
has adopted whatever the opposition,
there will he a constant wrangle.

1t is very satisfactory to Repuhll-
cans that Great Britain is beginning
to feel nervous over the possible pas
sage of the Mckinley tariff bill. The
British empire has always been op-
posed to our protective policy; because
it effectually keeps out her surplus
products from flooding our markets,
and it is reasonable to suppose that
the more we protect our home indus
tries, the less chance she will have to
cripple onr factories.
