INDEPENDENCE DAY.
An Opportune Time for Recalling the
Early History of Our Republic.

An Opportune Time for Recalling the
Early History of Our Republic.
The chief element of value in any
country is the story of its past sacri-
fees in behalf of great and noble OBJ
iects. The remembrance of the will
ingnesS of the cOlOnists to deprive
themselves not only of luxuries but of
necessary articles of food and clothing
of their bravery, of their voluntary
poverty, of their heroic endurance and
pluck, of their hope and fearful dis
couragement,, of their seIf-denials and
sublime perseverance-iS fitted to stir
our souls to new and profound sense
of patriotism. Nor is this all. It is an
OppOrtune time to take counsel of their
farsighted wisdom. The various docu-
nents framed by the colonists in the
rational assertion of their rights in ex-
planation of the duties existing between
the citizen and the state in defending
the just basis of liberty may well be
read and reread with every return of
this day. They will kindle a new flame
of enthusiasm in every American heart.
When William Pitt saw them he cried
out. with irrepressible eloquence: For
myself, / must avow that in all my
reaul1P- j nave Tedu 1nucNUlUeS,
and / have studied and admired the
master states of the world-for solidity
of reason, for sagacity and wisdom of
conclusion under a implication
of difficult circumstances, no ma
ton or body of men can stand in
preference to the general congress at
Philadelphia. The histories of Greece
and Rome give us nothing equal to it,
and all attempts to impose servitude
upon such a mighty continental nation
must be vain" Nor has the judgment
of one of their great English statesmen
been reversed by posterity. Gladstone
said quite recently: 1.-The American
constitution is. the most astonishing
effort ever struck at one time from the
brain and heart of man.
Look back, o reader, to those Won
derful pages which record the political
theories as well as the self-sacrifcing
struggles of the fathers, if you wish
your minds enlightened as well as souls
refreshed with baptism of wisdom
and patriotism.
The example of such men ought to
make us better cltizens-more Jealous
for the nations veal, more unf1inching
IN striking down bribery at the polls,
more determined and watchful in hold
ing office bearers to conscientious dis
charge of their trust, more willing to
labor in manifold directions for good
government and public virtue.-Chris-
tian at Work.

From an Alliance Organ.

We have already told Of George c.
Wards article in the Topeka Advocate,
ore of the great alliance papers of the
west, in which he questioned the sound
ness of the single tax, and w. II. T.
Wakcficld's conclusive reply, and now
comes the Advocate itself IN an edito-
rial complaining-but let it speak for
itself.
We do not object to a cor rtinuance Of
the discussion provided All able writer
on each side of the question can be per-
mitted to pursue it. Since those arti-
cles appeared, however, we have been
literally buried under an avalanche Of
single tax literature. IT comes from
every state and territory from Maine to
California. from Alaska TO the southern
point of Florida, and IL there is sin
gle tax advocate that we have not re-
ceivcd Il communication from he must
be somewhere outside the boundaries of
civilization. We advise the single tax
advocates to put up national ticket at
once. We have heard from enough OF
them already to elect president. The
most gratifying feature of this affair Is
in its demonstration of the value of The
Advocate as an advertising medium. IL
our advertisers get one response to
their advertisements fog every ten sim

the initial article on this subject was
published. they will have to increas.

The Money Value of Pure Water.

Aside from all sentiment and duty,
the Importance of pure water may be
considered from pecuniary stand
point. All sanitarians agree that a
majority of typhoid-fever cases come
from polluted water, while some emf
nent authorities claim that the disease
is transmitted only by ,his agent. A
conservative estimate of the value of an
average individual to the state is at
least one thousand dollars, SO when
we consider that about forty thou
sand persons die annually in the
United States from this disease, loss
OF more than forty million dollars to
the nation is clearly shown. Besides,
there are about forty thousand cases of
this disease each year in our country,
which cost the people many million
dollars more. Add to this the expense
attached to other diseases that are
transmitted by impure water, and the
estimate will be swelled to enormous
proportions. Every city and town
using impure water should consider
these facts. and hasten to supply it's
citizens with pure water from public
works.-Engineering Magazine

1t kept the track to the end-passed
the bridge-a1d rolled upon solid
ground again. Instantly Ben reversed
the machinery and motioned to Ter
renee to put on brakes.
After running some distance they
stopped. The lower span of the bridge
had fallen behind them! Speechless for
moment. with the thought of the fear
full peril they had passed. they looked
back at the ruins and watched
en- joists as they yielded one
by one to the foaming flood. On
the opposite side part of the span still
stood, so that a passenger could cross.
The fireman was sent back to flag the
express, and in a moment they were
speeding on, and the remaining four
miles to the Springs were run in nearly
that number of minutes. The mayor
sat through the trip dazedly gazing at
the little engineer with admiration for
his gallantry, nerve and high intelli-
gence.
The people were aStounded to see the
single engine rush into the depot with 4
little hump backed boy at the throttle
and a tall smoke begrimed gentleman
pulling the bell rope.
A thousand questions were asked.
The superintendent of the road came in.
and in reply to the mayors questions
said that the riot had been suppressed
and the city was quiet. But he wanted
to be told of the engines trip.
And he was told. Ben found himself
a hero and discovered that it was consid-
cred a remarkable thing for a boy to un-
derstand an engine, and that it required
uncommon courage to run it and have
ones wits thoroughly at command.
Ben's reward was not alone in con-
sciousness of a duty well performed
and ample gifts of money, but he gained
influential friends in the mayor and of
icials of the road. who helped him and
are still helping him to high places in
the business and industrial world

BRAVE AND TURBULENT.
Lord Cardigan. the Hero of Balaklava
Not Guilty of Cowardice.

Lord Cardigan, the Hero of Balaklava,
Not Guilty of Cowardice.
Few officers in the British army ever
had a stormier career than Lord Cardi-
gan, the hero of Balaklava. In every
thing except personal courage he was
about as far remote from the ideal hero
as he could we'll be. He was overbear-
ing. quarrelsome and dissipated. When
he was made lieutenant colonel of the
Fifteenth husSarS, he treated his men
with such excessive rigor that in two
years he held one hundred and five
courts martial and made seven hundred
arrests, though his regiment numbered
but three hundred and fifty soldiers.
So obnoxious did he finally make him.
self that he was forced to resign, be ing
reinstated in the army only through
the urgent entreaties of his father.
Being given the command of the
Eleventh hussars he resumed his tur-
bulent course and was censured by his
superiors. The high discipline and
efficiency of his regiment saved him
from dismissal, however, and after
having been tried for wounding Capt.
Tuckett in a duel he was sent to the
Crimea in command of the light cav
airy brigade. Upon this fine body OF
troops he spent an immense sum OF
money in providing the best of horses
and equipments, and though as fiery
tempered and overbearing as ever ac-
quired some popularity. He took part in
many engagements, and while he was
reckless in exposing his men he was
also reckless of danger to himself and
was looked upon as a brave. dashing
soldier. At the battle of Balaklava he
led his brigade in that wild and fool
hardy but immortal charge, in which
all but a handful of his mobile six hum
dred' were laid low. For this he was
lauded by some and denounced by
others. Col. Calthorpe, nine years
later, charged him with cowardice and
with having deserted his men. For this
Lord Cardigan brought libel suit
against the colonel, and though the
final decision-made June 10, 1865
went against him on technical grounds,
his accuser was compelled to admit that
he was in error.-Chicago n ews.

instant. With = quick, nervous jerk he
pulled the lever and let on full head
of steam. The Pilgrim sprang forward
like 4 frantic creature. The mayor
turned and gazed at his frail engineer.
Ben as leaning forward with flashing
eyes, scanning the danger. His lips
were set firmly and the concentrated
intensity of his look made the boy al
most grand. He said nothing. He was
bent upon rushing the engine across
the bridge before it had time to sink,
even if the abutments were already
giving way.
In moment they were upon it. Ben
saw the turbid water boiling below.
The little mountain stream could be
very fierce when SO disposed.
The bridge shook. the engine rocked
and staggered as it flew along The
mayor leapcd down from his seat with
starting eyes, and Terence, the fire
man, uttered a frightened cry.
But Crooked Ben remained cool His
very excitement seemed to nerve him
into Il desperate caimness. There was
sensation of sinking and Ben saw
that several timbers had started. The
mayor and the poor fireman prepared
themselves for a flying leap into the
river But the young engineers shrill.
piping voice stopped them: Stop he
cried, don't move! Stay here or you
will be killed"
The weakened bridge settled and
creaked, but it did not sink. The loco
motive did its duty nobly and swept
across the trestles like whirlwind.
