The Columbian Fourth ofJuIy.


The centennial year marked o COM
pleted century Of popular government
under such conditions and on such a
scale as tho world had never seeR be-
fore In all Its history. Independence
Day Of that memorable year closed q
hundred years unique in all annals, 1t
appealed to the patriotism OF Americans
and captivated the Imagination Of the
world. History eau know but one such
occasion.
Tho Fourth Of July OF the Columbian
year will flash upon the continental
canvas the majestic idea Of our tri-
umphant nationality. The sixth
months celebration belongs to the cor.
tinent and in u broader sense to the
world. independence Day glOrides the
American birthright Of freedom. 1t is
the yearly emphasis Of the estab.
lished success OF that hazardous OK.
pertinent in government to which tho
fathers OF the republic pledged their
lives. their fortunes and their sacred
honor"
The discovery OF the continent. the
founding Of the great republic OF the
west. the vindication Of the prophecy
of government by the people, these are
the great dominating ideas that come
into natural association at this time.
They have filled the land with a depth
and reach and fervor OF patriotism as
remarkable as 1t is gratifying in q time
Of peace. Independence Day will DO
the logical patriotic climax Of sentiment
and celebration. In respect Of popular
denomination it should be the greatest
Fourth OF July in the history OF the
country. Every community should
bestir itself to do its own part worthily.
Wheeling should take hold now with
a will and begin the work OF prcpara.

without going to the cost OF floats. A

Fourth OF July ia a blaze Of glory.
Everything has to have n start, and

FOREST LEGISLATION.

We have on a number Of occasions
directed special attention to the sub
ject Of Forestry, especially in its ap.
plication Of the State Of Pennsylvania
aud the vital need Of such legislation
as will to some extent, at least, pre-
veutthe almost udiscriminate destruc
ton of what still remains of the forest
covered state. One of the most
diff ,ult tasks of a public nature that
has been undertaken has been the
incubation of a knowledge of the in.
innate relations that hold between the
forest Of the state, the water courses
aud the climate. The vast majority
of farmers are loth to believe that a
tree has any other uses than to afford
shade, yield fruit, be available for
timber purposes, or to play a merely
ornamental part on the lawn or in the
general landscape.
While there has been an almost
wanton destruction of trees in nearly
every section Of the country, there has
been comparatively little attention

Place and save for % stroll yesterday morn
ing around the grounds surrounding the
comfortah.. old homestead, they remained
indoors uu 1903 o'cloca in The afternoon
AT that noun they finished their luncheon
and the family carry-all or drag was
brought to the irOut door. Then Mr.. Bay
ard and Secretary Gresham took the drivers
seat and the former held the reins over the
two chestnut bays with docked tails. Presi-
dent Cleveland and Senator White sat on
the seats behind and faced each other. The
seats run lcngthwise Of the carriage, which
can accommodate six in addition to those
on the drivers seat.
Mr.. Bayard att once touched the horses
with the whip, and the party started in "A
westerly direction for q drive. As they
started Mr.. Gresham turned his head. took
a cigar from his mouth and resumed a story
which he had evidently been telling at the
luncheon table. He began by saying: 81
was Just going TO tell youabout thatcher. "
The president was smiling and the entire
party seemed to be in the best Of humor.
Several of the men who had been waiting
around the house to catch a glimpse OF the
party lifted their hats and the salute was
returned by the pres dent.
As the party left the house Mr.. Bayard
was again asked whether there was any
significance attached to the visit. He re.

THE rush Of Office at Washington,
although not unprecedented, has thus
far been Of a kind to fairly illustrate
the almost insane desire on the part
the American people generally. The
daily levees, if the reception given
to the horde of Office seekers can be so
styled, are painful exhibitions of the
wide prevalence of this thirst for otfic-
ial honOrs and emoluments. How
many of the hundreds who daily grasp
the Presidents hand with such5fervOr
is it possible for him to remember in
making out his appointments? Posi-
bly, not over one in a hundred; but
that fact, although no doubt fully I'M
derstood by the applicants, has thus
far had no l%essaning effect upon the
hungry crowd. They press On in
in battallons, the great majority Of
them, only to realize in the end THAT
they would have succeeded just as
well and saved themselve heavy out
lays ofmoney and time, not to speak Of
mental worriment, had they remained
at home attending to their usual avo
cations.

Motion ON May L..
Chicago, April lO.-President Cleveland
will touch oil the Worlds Fair on May ]
in the presence of from 10000 to 100000
people. The plan to have the opening eNer-
cisss in the small hall has been abandoned
and the ceremonies win be held ut the east
front of the administration building. There
was considerable objection to the massing
of so large a crowd in one portion Of the
grounds to witness the ceremonies, as it was
feurod that it might ruin the lawns and
flower gardens, but these were overcome by
those who favored an open air program.
A substantial platform will be built just
in front of the administration building.
This will be connected with Machinery Hall
so that President Cleveland will only have
to step to the speakers table to touch the
button. The new plan furnishes many OPP
portunities for picturesque effects. 1t is
proposed to mass all the electric launches,
gondolas and other water crafts in the
basin and in front Of the administration
building. Thousands Of spectators can get
a fine view Of she platform from the water,
