Old Johns Translation.


Every one in Boston knows Of old
John the Orangeman, that picturesque
and almost historical parsonage who
presides over the affections of all Har-
ward men. And every one who knows
John knows also that his life's motto is
that familiar phrase which expresses
briefly and to the point the wish that
Yale may be forever RELOCATED to the re-
gion of sorrow and perpetual darkness.
One afternoon strangers were walk
ing through the yard at Harvard, and
on every hand they saw the college seal
bearing this motto, "Christo ct Eccle-
si@.''
Not being on speaking terms with
Cicero, Caesar and the other Romans,
this did pathing but to arouse their Gu
riosity.
Finally they met John.
Il say!'' sid one Of the visitors. II
see these words everywhere. Can you
tell me what they mean?''
John looked carefully at the Latin in
sciption, bit his pipe little harder and
then replied gravely:
"Oi don't j;st know, fr'nd, but Oi
t'ink itmeans To b wild Yale. -

When foreign citizen unfurls the
flag of his own country in the United
States on the Fourth of July, he means
by it only to honor the great American
republic. It is greeting and a salute.
Therefore the more foreign flags out on
the Fourth the brighter and merrier it
will be. When an Englishman in Amer
lea HOSTS the British flag on our natal
day, he means, like all the other foreign
ers, to recognize the day. Therefore let
us have no foolishness of toughs and
hoodlums, insulting the British flag on
the Fourth Of July. The fellow who
will do it is a blatant idiot.

Senator Morgan spoke fifty of the as

horror, but not with the profound grief
that the taking off of the president Of
our sister republic did.

The money for the police in New York
was always collected by the "ward

police were hogs. mo, they amt" re-
piled the ward man. 1.-THE new captain
has to raise $4,000. That was what he
paid for his appointment" The most
interesting question before the house now
is, Who got the money?

What tho Fourth Sees This Year.

What the Fourth Sees This Year.
When this Union was framed in 1776,
slavery existed in every section of it.
When the states made their laws con-
corning suffrage after the Revolution, a
property qualification for voting was in
serted in the constitution Of every one OF
them. We have travelled on, up and
down hill, for 118 years. As we went
along we have left behind US some bur-
dens that we took with us in the begin
ming. They lie by the roadside of his
tory, useless wrecks and relics. One Of
these relics is slavery. Another is the
sectional sentiment that in consequence
of it grew up between north and south.
The United States as whole was never
so near being that ''more perfect Union
the fathers dreamed of as it is today.
Never before was there so strong ma
tional sentiment that took in the whole
country. Let us remember this and be
thankful
It is true there are some clouds and
disturbances in the national sky. There
are strikes and labor troubles. The cur
rency and tariff questions are problems
for which at the moment there seems no
adequate solution. Yet let no Amer
lean heart doubt but solution will be
found. Unselfsh, single hearted paMi-
otto effort will open q way in every diff
6culty. And only in proportion as .
legislators effort is thus single hearted
and patriotic will it succeed.
Great tasks are before us as nation
in connection with our well being at
home. This Fourth of July is the time
to consider them seriously. One is the
cleansing and reformation of American
municipal government. 1t is q blot and
a disgrace on our fair fame. The rev.
Citations lately made in large cities in
every portion Of the Union show that
municipal corruption and indecency
have reached the point where they must
20 no farther. The American people
will be criminally guilty if they do not
sweep out the sewer flood that is over
whelming our cities and force the estab-
ishment of honest and sweet smelling
city government.
A pleasanter task will be the develop
ment of the new south. Greater facili-
ties for fortune lie here at our feet than
in the gold and diamond mines of Africa
Let the north stop Dragging; let the
south be a. tolerant in politics and relig-
ion as the north is and permit stranger
within it's gates to call his soul his own;
let each help the other, and the fairest
civilization on this continent will spring
up in the land of the knocking bird and
magnolia.

At least two of the fussy little Central
American republics are good friends for
the time being. They are Nicaragua
and Salvador. One man, DR.. Guzman,
represents both as minister at Washing
ton. Perhaps it means that Nicaragua
is going to swallow Salvador.

It will be surprise to most people to
learn that last year, in spite of the low
price of domestic cotton, the New Eng
land mills manufactured not less than
100000 worth of imported Egyptian
cotton. It amounted to $4,000 American
bales. The reason for it is that the
Egyptian cotton is of superior quality
and is exactly adapted for certain textile
fabrics.

Fourth of July.
The New York Sun says of this years

The coming Fourth Of July will be q great
one on its international side. At least two
friendly republics are likely to celebrate 1t IN
worthy fashion. Brazil was making prepara-
lions 1T the last accounts to do it honor and to
make known to the world thereby her liking
for the United States and for James Monroe
and the Monroe doctrine. Hawaii. too, Is
almost certain to have q grand jubilation on
that occasion. On the 10th Of May Decoration
day was observed in Honolulu with much
ceremony. The flags were at half mast, the
officers and men Of our naval force were
ashore. there were parades and speeches, and
altogether 1t was sight BETTING IN American
city. The stars and stripes will fly there. too.
we may be sure, on the anniversary of Ameri-
can Independence, for the men who control
the destinies of the islands are of American
birth or parentage and do not forget that
Hawaii will soon be in the American Union.
John Adams foresaw the fervor of the ma
tional celebrations of the anniversary, but he
could hardly have forecast its international
honors. The Fourth OF July is q great day.
