The republican leaders are now en-
gagged in the task of trying to convince
the American laboring men that it Is
not actual legislation that affects
wages and the condition OF business.
With this gauzy lie on their lips they
show that although wages began to go
down and shops TO close right after the
passage Of the Mckinley bill, it was
due to the fear that the democrats
might some time get into power and
rdopt free trade. And SO, when pros
pcrity returned on the passage OF the
democratic tariff bill. and the wages Of
over . million workingmen were in
creased, 1t was due to the hope that
the republicans would tinker the tariff.

THE LITERARY EXERCISES.
WoodWard'S Pavilion Aglow With
Bunting, Oratory and Patriotic
Enthusiasm.

Oddly enough, perhaps, for this day,
woman was the central figure of the literary
exercises at Woodward's Pavilion. 1t was
woman's voice and woman's words
that brought the tears which moistened
many an eye. 1t was a woman's flights of
oratory that awakened the greatest en-
thusiasm. The Rev. Anna Shaw was this
woman. She came last on the programme,
but the great audience waited for her
patiently, and felt itself abundantly repaid
for its waiting.
Indeed the tedium of the waiting was
not so great as one who did not attend
might imagine, for the programme was
interesting throughout. The musical
numbers were particularly good. The
chorus of 800 voices, under the direction of
Mr.. Mckenzie, was really brilliant when it
sang 1.-THE Flag of Liberty"
Shortly after 2 O'Clock in the afternoon,
the prettily decorated interior being
crowded with well-dressed audience,
Charles A. Princes orchestra, led by John
W. Mckenzie Jr., began the services by
rendering a medley of national airs.
Then the doxology, "Old Hundred"
was sung by the chorus and the audience
standing, and at its conclusion G. J. King,
president of the day, announced that the
Rev. A. @. Hirst, chaplain of the day,
would deliver the invocation.
There came next the "Star Spangled
Banner" given by the soloists Miss Min
ME Powell, Miss Eta La Chapelle, Mrs.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-07-05

Will Marco, Mrs. J. Igo, Mrs. J. Pettee
and Miss V. Raffin. The audience joined
heartily in the chorus.
~Ihe Declaration of Independence was
read by James T. Rogers. He preceded
the reading and interspersed some of the
sections with well chosen remarks appro-
pirate to the occasion. The baritone solo
The Sword Of Bunker Hill," by ]. P.
Grodjeens, was loudly and lonely encored
rich, full voice and he used it we'll.
Came then the Introductory remarks by
President King. These were brief but
graceful. He spoke of the thoroughly
American celebration and the wide intlu-
ence for the good of the Union it would
have. It's influence upon the rising gener-
alton could not be estimated, he thought,
and 1t was our highest present duty to
foster patriotism and love of country
among the rising generation.
Patriotism was everything. China, with
ten times as many men as Japan, could
not win battle because that greatest fac
tor OF patriotism was lacking. Our coun-
try was still young in history, he said, but
there were names on its scrolls of which
all were proud and the whole world hon.
ored. Mr.. King spoke briefly of Jefferson,
the Trainer of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, and of Patrick Henry. whose ora
tory gave Jefferson much of his inSpira-
ton. Ii 1t was true, as some thought said
Mr.. King, that the press was usurping the
place OF the orators, then the great respon-
sibiIity of the press should not be lost sight
of, and 1T should remember that what Pat
rick Henry said in the old days was still
true-that the price of liberty was eternal
vigilance.
Mr.. King was roundly applauded, and
before he sat down he introduced the poet

The despot's band forevermore
And broke the tyrant's chain.
Rejoice then, sons of freedom all,
On this great natal day.
/ hear the patriots spirit call;
Amen, / hear 1t say.
This day nations praise is sung
In ev'ry freemanS home,
For ere the struggle was begun,
Ere freedom from the foe was wrung,
Prosperity, ere unknown
Was buried meath tyrant's throne.
Brave hearts and true for freedom sighed,
Brave hearts, unknown 10 fear,
Rose up united and defied
A rule to wealth and powr allied
And struck for freedom dear.
They struck as strikes the warrior brave
For liberty and right,
They struck their honored land to save
From base oppression's might.
What 10y is ours on this great day.
Millions OF voices cry
In distant lands far, far away
Where despot'S iron rule has sway;
Our banner greets the eye
And Shames oppreSSions yoke.
1t tells palmer than language can
How well those gallant few
Stood side by side and man 10 man,
Foremost in the battles van,
No fear nor danger knew.
Their deeds OF valor e'er viii shine
Though nations great decay;
Their names emblazon freedoms shrine
Forever there to stay.
Now let us all as freedoms sons
This day before high heaven VOW
That while the life blood in us runs
Though danger to our country comes
Wen keep her free as now
And heed the patriots prayer.
o liberty, how sweets thy name!
What precious blood was shed for thee.
What names are on the scroll of fame
Wrought in letters OF living flame
That generations unborn might see
And1earn how dearly freedoms bought.
What valor gave it birth,
What hearts the god of battle sought
To make this land the pride OF earth.

being of a very n1eritorious order.
There were number of gayly decorated

Following the procession were numbers
of citizens bearing banners and transpar-

and notices showing great originality,
being held aloft by the sturdy labor repre-

OUR NATAL DAY.

One hundred years and more have fled,
Are buried in the past,
Since freedom to the land was wed
By val'rous souls who bravely said,
To kingly rule, Thou hast
Thy influence outrun,
No more shall the oppressors yoke
Upon'our necks be pressed.
In God is placed our every hope.
He'll guide us through the battles smoke,
The way to freedom he will ope,
md from the tyrant wrest
This land of ours.
So spoke our honored sires
In the years of long ago,
When first were kindled freedoms fires,
Which this day with splendor glow.
In all their might those men repose,
And Justice on their side,
They forced the sword of freedoms foes,
And, filled with courage, stood the blows
OF England s kingly tribe,
Her army great and strong.
Eight years OF bitter strife was felt,
Eight years of hope, of fear,
Enduring hardShps to them dealt,
Ere they at the shrine of freedom knelt
To thank with fervent prayer
The God who made them free.
Out of that fiery storm,
While yet the cannons roared,
Nation great was born
Which is this day adored.
And we upon this day of days
From busy toll abstain
To sound aloud our songs of praise,
While bells ring out and cannons blaze
And freemen all explain
God bless our land so free,
God bless those noble, gen'rous sires,
The brave. the good, the true,
Whose val'rous deeds a world admires,
Whose names with love each soul inspires,
Who naught but freedom knew,
And fought Just rights to gain.
They gave to liberty It's birth
And laid the grand foundation
Which makes US freest of the free.
a great, prosperous nation.
Freemen to-day in freedom IS home,
With joyful hearts exclaim.
How sweet 1t Is this boon to own,
How grand. how noble has it grown,
SO pure, so free from ev'ry stain,
A gift of priceless worth,
country that's with freedom blest,
That with abundance teens,
Asylum Tor the worlds oppressed,
A brave and gen'rous bands behest,
This day in brightness CLEANS.
0, who cannot with loving eyes
Upon our banner gaze
And feel not that beneath the skies
No prouder flag can raise?
How came we by this sacred gift,
This blessing great and grand?
y, let our mem'ry backward drift
And from the page of hist'ry lift
The veil which screens the patriot band
Who for this freedom fought,
Who, amid blood and carnage, bore
our banners not in vain,
Who drove from freedoms honored shore

Cavalier county was created

Pembina county. The boundaries
of the county were changed by the

the county was organized when
the governor appointed the follow
ing commissioners: P. McHugh,
w. H. Mathews and L. G. Nor
cnog. The earliest available
statistics show that the county's
population in 1885 was 5000,
with 48,4o7 acres of improved
land. There were 1870 farms of
all average size of thity-fve acres
each while the total assessed valua-
