THE search for the thirty one entomb-
ed miners at Dunbar, Pa, was abandon
ed on Tuesday. For fifteen days the
work of digging into the mine was
pushed with all possible speed, and when
an entrance was finally effected it only
revealed the fact that the men must
have died within few minutes of the
explosion, and that their bodies were
cremated in the fires now burning in
the mine. Only two dinner buckets and
two blouses were found to mark the re-
treat of the men at the time of the ex-
plosion. A further search would result
but fruitlessly.

THURSDAY, JULY 3, 1890.
THE DAY WE CFLEBRATF.

THE DAY WE CELEBRATE.
Next Friday will mark the close of
the one hundred and fourteenth year of
our National life. On July 4th, l776,
ffty-six men in conference at Philadel-
phia shaped, signed and promulgated a
document which time has stamped and
approved as embodying the rights due
from man to mankind That instrument
originated by men who were statesmen
and patriots, who possessed for freedom
a love more invincible than for life
was the loom on which was woven the
warp and woof of our liberties. The Mech,
lenburg Declaration had been treated as a
childish fancy or freak and though of nc
more force than idle words, it indicated
the spirit of the Colonists. The first at
tempt, prematurely sprung, warned Eng
land of the events threatened, and Eng
land in response strove to stine the
kindling flame by ruling with more rig
or and oppression. That fatal error only
hastened the dawning of the Day OF
Independence, and seven years of wal
and suffering followed before the sur
render at Yorktown established Inde.
pendence as fact.
The parentage of the infant nation
was of hardy race, and Columbia in
heriting their vigor and endurance
swiftly passed through the childhood
state, and emerged into the bloom OF
full development.
In one hundred and fourteen years
the United States has established her
claim for recognition, and to-day stands
tantamount to any nation in the feder-
alton of the world. In the brief period
of her existence she has gained as high
a point as the European nations in theiI
life of thousand years. But still il
must not be forgotten that she started
on different basis and in a different
age. More has been done in the line OF
civilization and scientific research In
one hundred years last, than in the one
thousand years preceding. All the con-
ditions were favorable for this, the world
having groped in darkness for centuries
picking up little at a time, and SO
slowly as scarcely to be appreciable. The
stride forward has been great, and here
more than elsewhere. The slow going
people of Europe, with their abominable
and barbarous aristocratic manners and
customs have found in this nation the
marvel of all times.
To the sturdy character, the unalloy-
ed principles, the strict obedience to
conscience, and the implacable hatred
of tyranny of the Pilgrims was due the
firm foundation of the Republic and the
solidity and immobility of her institu-
tions, and the celebration of the Fourth
of July-the day of days-is incumbent
on the whole people. That day COM
memorates the beginning of the greatest
era of history. On that day was rung
the bell which caused the scales to drop
from the tyrant's eyes and spoke to the
world the equality of man. Then kings
saw their own corruption, and empires
swayed under the influence of the light
of freedom dawning in mems minds.
Empires and kings still live, but in NOR
tai terror of dethronement, and the day
is not long to be delayed when every en-
lightened nation will have its Fourth of
July to mark the day when liberty tri-
umphed and aristocracy died.
