Irish men in the Revolution.

Boston Globe.
Before the Revolutionary war Ireland
sent messages and held meetings
throughout the land, sympathizing with
the colonists, and they in turn sent com
munications explaining their position.
In 1866 Franklin, writing from London,
said: "All Ireland is strongly in favor of
the American cause. They have reason
to sympathize with u.s." OF the signers
of the Declaration of Independence IL
were of Irigh blood or descent: At
Bunker Hill, in one company of New
Hampshire militia, which defended the
rail fence, there were II Irishmen. The
countersign, when the British evacuated
Boston in 1775, was "St Patrick" the
commanding officer of the day, General
Sullivan. The Irish swarmed in the
American army on sea and on land, and
whether in the snow and hardships of
Valley Forge or on the victorious field
of Yorktown, they fought bravely and
died nobly for our independence.

EACH year for the last four years the
Democracy has attributed every calamity
to the tariff. If wool or wheat was low
it was the tariff. When the workmen
struck at Homestead it was the tariff,
and when the cholera came it was the
tariff. But this year is an exception.
They are writing columns of stuff to
prove that the prospect of the removal
of the duty has nothing to do with the
low price of wool. Last year the blame
was wholly on the tariff. This year the
tariff has nothing to do with it. Of
course any one can see the inconsistency
of their arguments, but such is De-
mOcracV

A GREAT Republican victory is the
logical sequence of this falls campaign.
Last year through combination of dis
satisfied elements the Democracy were
enabled to sweep the country, but already
the reaction is setting in. 1t was prom
ised that free wool would help the
farmer, but wool is now lower than ever
before known. Through mistrust of the
hating policy of the administration
business has been unsettled and feeling
of uncertainty and doubt pervades all
circles. This feeling is Sound to find a
vent and logically it will come in a
tremendous reaction against Democratic
principles, or rather lack of them, and
Ohio will prove the whirlpool of this re-
action. Such are the signs of the times.

THE death of Senator Stanford, of
California, removes man of immense
wealth, yet one who possibly more than
any other of the many millionaires OF
our time used that wealth for the better
ment of mankind. There may have
been some things about his career not
exactly creditable, even in this intensely
commercial age, but he gave largely of
his wealth to charity and education, and
that covers a multitude of sins.

The Prophecy of John Adams.

The approach of another anniversary
of our national birthday finds the whole
country resounding with the note of pre-
paration for its celebration. The pro-
phecy of John Adams that the day
would be ushered in by sound of cannon
and ringing of bells and blazing of fire.

auspicious day when the old bell in In

INDEPENDENCE DAY.

The Most Tragic Event in Our Hisrory-It
Marks the Death of Tyranny.
New York Herald.
l will make of thee nation mightier
and greater than they.-Deuteronomy
tx, IA.
Another Fourth of July at handl The
speeding years bring round this great
anniversary of brave deeds and brave
results so rapidly that the music of our
celebration scarcely dies away in the
distance before we begin it all over
again.
1t is the brightest and sunniest, the
saddest and most tragic day in our
calendar, the saddest when we think of
the treasure of life which our national
independence cost, the brightest when
we contemplate the proud position which
the republic has achieved and the en-
couragement it has afforded to those
who are seeking liberty in all quarters
of the globe.
Not one of the founders of our gov
eminent dreamed of the magnitude or
political significance of their undertak-
ing. They were noble souls who minis
tered to the aspirations of Is colonies
and in doing so builded far better
than they knew. 1t is safe to say that
when King George signed the document
xr-hi hioh anf lnncn h ~
he unconsciously put his name to the
death warrant of tyranny ndoppression
everywhere. No stroke of pen in royal
hand ever meant so much for the pro-
gress of mankind. No autograph was
ever written with greater unwillingness,
for the feeble folk whom he professed
to despise had driven his trained legions
from the field, and the raw troops which
were without discipline and without
food had wrhng historic victory from
his most trusted generals.
1t will do no harm to recite these
facts, not in the spirit of wanton buast-
fulness, but of grateful appreciation.
They not only stir our pride, but rouse
us to sense of personal obligation. We
have inherited a noble territory; but,
better still, we are the fortunate heirs to
certain immortal ideas which are to be
defended against all corners at all times
and at all cost.
No truer or more impressive words
were ever uttered than those of Curran,
who said, 'The condition upon which
God hath given liberty to man is eternal
vigilance" The Fourth of July there
fore means watchfulness. A generation
of neglect would mean crack in the
walls of our temple. Amid the hurry
and hustle of business we must give a
passing and loyal thought to our
country. The flags which will wave
from Atlantic to Pacific, from gulf to
lakes, will fill the air with the mute
eloquence of duty, and the sunshine
which will fall on the tombs of orr never
to be forgotten dead will be an appeal
to cherish the memories of the past in
order to insure the safety of the future
Let fun and jollity prevail. Nc
nation can as well afford to laugh and
be glad as we. We envy no one and
have plenty within our borders. Peace
and prosperity are guests in our house
hold. But the still, small voice whispers
word of timely warning that as private
honesty is the source of personal happi.
ness public integrity is the foundation
of national permanency.

A. W. TERRELL, of Texas, whom
President Cleveland has appointed as
United States Minister to Turkey, once
wrote poem in which he deifed Wilkes
Booth and described the immortal
Lincoln as "a merciless Nero" This is
sample of the unhung traitors, who are
coming to the front at the beck Of
Cleveland. Terrell deserves quartering
and to become food for the dogs rather
than to draw salary from the govern
ment he would have destroyed.

Origin of the Declaration.

Judge Mills.
Some trace the origin of the Declara-
tion to the charter of Runnymede, some
to the Mayflower compact, some even to
the Mecklenburg resolves, others more
deeply and truly to that Unborn love of
self ownership and self government
which is so prominently characteristic
of the Anglo Saxon race. The entire
tenor and trend of our colonial life de-
veloped self-reliance, and self-reliance
is the mother of independence.

THE Philadelphia Leger, which is
understood to be very close to President
Cleveland, probably states the result of
that gentleman's observation as well as
a patent truth when it says: "While it
was easy to denounce the Mckinley act,
it is not easy to frame substitute widely
different from the lines of that act and
at the same time supplying needed
revenue without injuring existing in
dustries."
