The Fourth of July.

He would be villain indeed who
would wish to rob the boys Of the de-
light Of shooting off millions of dollars
worth Of fireworks on the Fourth. Still
nervous people like to get out into the
country and lie under the trees and lis
ten to bird songs instead Of shooting
crackers. Babies, aged people and in
vaids who are in a very feeble state &C.
casionally die as the result of the noises
on the Fourth Of July. Then, too, there
are fires innumerable. Houses are burn
ed down and often persons perish in the
terrible flames kindled by spark from
some boys fire cracker. If we could
only have the brilliant fireworks with
out the danger and without SO much
noise! If only so many children were
not every year blinded, manned and
burned by the explosion Of powder
How many of the boys that make Amer.
lea howl on each recurring anniversary
of our independence recall the fact that
the makers Of the finest, best, most
successful and most gorgeous fireworks
on the globe are the Chinese, who never
had Fourth of July and who are the
most downtrodden Of all peoples?
We would not stop the Fourth Of July
fireworks and gunpowder burning if W.
could But in addition to all this w
would have every year the Monroe doc
trine and Washington farewell addres
read to all the boys and girls and grow
people along with the Declaration Of In
dependence.

Uniforming the Boys.

Half a dozen years from now the
lit, 533 officers and mon Of the United
States national guard will be much
more soldierly and efficient as to drill
than they are at present. The reason is
by that time their ranks will be made
up largely Of brave and bright boys
who learned the military drill in school.
Certainly 100000 boys in the public
and private schools Of the country are
now praoticing the military drill as an
athletic exercise, and they could prac-
tioe nothing better.
Some tender hearted souls fear that
the military drill in public schools will
foster the spirit Of hate and bloodshed
among the boys. They might as we'll
say that the two buttons on the back Of
a mans coat at the waist foster the
spirit of war and bloodshed, because
those two buttons were formerly used
to support a mans sword belt and have
survived down to our day. The habit
of order, discipline and prompt obedi-
ence as we'll as the Invaluable results
physically are testified to wherever tho
drill has been tried any length of time.
There is one difficulty, and that is the
expense of uniforming the young cadets
Undoubtedly this is more than many
parents can bear. At the same time it
breaks the heart and spirit of boy in
way not pleasant to contemplate to
find that he cannot join his comrades
because of his poverty in dress. Some
provision outside ought to be made fol
the boys uniform. The teachers ought
to see to it in quiet way that the uni.
form is provided without wounding the
delicacy of either child or parent II
every community are rich American
citizens who would contribute a trifle
for this purpose, or a school might give
an entertainment whereby the funds
could be raised.

Drunken Newspaper Men.

,a1
A dull red flush Of shame must have
tlowly crept over the face Of every de-
tent newspaper man in America as he
read the closing proceedings Of the Bal
tic canal festivities. The only incident
that married the dignity Of the ceremo-
uies on that occasion was the drunken
,pree Of the correspondents and report
srs. If the story told is true, it also
throws calcium light on the status Of
Journalists in the German empire.
Not newspaper editor in England,
Germany or the United States would
have been considered good enough to be
invited as guest to any Of Little Bill
lees feasts on that occasion. No, though
he had been John Walter or q Horace
Greeley. While the royalties and two
penny noblemen Toasted, the newspaper
men were allowed to watch the proceed
ings in q, little pen that had been fenced
off for them in the gallery. Loyalty to
their papers Of course compelled them
to sit in the pen during the feast. We
find that one young man, more daring
than the rest, even ventured down upon
the floor Of the banquet hall and near
the holy person of Billee himself, but
this impudent knave and varlet was
summarily fred out, and all the people
cried amen, while they held up their
hands in horror.
But on the steamboat which had been
furnished by the government for these
base born scribblers all to themselves a
large quantity Of champagne was dis
tributed, sort of crumb to a dog from
Little Billee's royal table.
Instead Of throwing it overheard in
disgust, as journalists of any pride and
dignity would have done, the fellows
on the yacht got swinishly drunk, the
STORY goes, fairly wallowed in their OWL
degradation. The scenes on the steamer
will not bear description.
The men who INDUCED in this dc
bauch seem to have been correspondent
of all nationalities. It would be curious
to know how many Of them were Amer
leans. On the whole, is it strange tina
the newspaper profession has not ye
attained very high standing in certain
circles?

The 2OO,OOO,Oo0 taels which China
must pay to Japan as indemnity will
amount to $14S, 00O,O worth of silver
bullion. If coined into American dol
lars, however, it would make $50, 000,-
900 of them. This money will Of course
be raised in Europe. Not nearly all of
it will go to Japan, however. That coun-
try owes Germany and England hun
dreds of thousands of dollars for war
supplies, and much Of the silver will
undoubtedly stay in Europe. In spite of
their objection to the silver standard,
European bankers will probably accept
silver when they cannot get anything
else.

European Ignorance Of America.

European Ignorance Of America.
If there is any country on earth about
which Europeans, even Of more than or
binary information, know next to moth
ing, it is the United States. This state
ment, we take it, is fully borne out by
the recent announcement in the London
Daily Telegraph that "during one OF
the recent cyclones which afflicted
America people in the west end Of New
York communicated with their friends
in the east end by sending a telegram
to London, which was then duly for
warded to the proper quarter, there be-
ing no communication between the two
ends Of tho city. -
Funny, isn't it? Yet, like many erro-
neous statements in the newspapers and
in everyday speech, this absurd para
graph arose from a fact During the
blizzard of 1888, from which New York
suffered so severely, all telegraphic COM
munication between New York and Bos-
ton was interrupted, but it was possible
to wire between the two cities via the
Atlantic cable, and some newspapers &C
tually did get news in that way.
Such mistakes on the part Of our Eu-
ropean brethren Of the press are not SO
strange, after all, considering the entire
lack of real interest felt in America by
foreign readers European newspaper
men inform themselves thoroughly re-
garding those countries only in which
their public is concerned, regarding
America not as q source OF serious news,
but rather as a sort of wonderland, swept
with awful storms, peopled with an un-
couth race, and a safe place in which to
locate any fabulous and impossible yarn
which they may feel called upon to
write. But some Of the European writ
ers of books about America tell of see-
ing things here that never existed in
such way as to indicate that they are
the victims Of such loose powers Of OBJ
servation as would disquaify them to
act as the cheapest reporters for the
cheapest Of American newspapers. For
instance, chap who came to America
with Thackeray has recently put out a
volume in which he speaks of crossing
the Susquehanna river from New York
city into Pennsylvania, and titled Brit
ish magazinist not long ago said Of the
elevated railroad in New York that its
rails were spiked down to timbers laid
on rotting piles in the lower part of the
city, while, farther up town, the road
was level with the ground and unpro
tected by fences, and that two Or three
COWS were killed every day by ''L road
engines because Of this lack Of protection
while the Marquis of Castellane, whose
son was recently married to Miss Gould
said in lately printed article abou
New York that it was built on an is
land surrounded by two rivers, each sew
eral miles wide, and that on the ia
banks of each Of these rivers there wer
high hills, densely clothed with fores
trees.
