of working power falling to each
American is more than that of two of
any other nation. But with our i'm
proved and superior machinery each
American laborer is ena bled to accom-
plish relatively still more than his
European competitor. The American
laborer not only does more and better
work, but there is more skilled, intel
ligent and capable artisans here now
in proportion to the total population
than in any other country of the
world. No other country can boast of
SO great a, percentage Of producers
among her instructed population. and
none other can point TO so large a
number of enlightened and educated
citizens.
Some Statistics.
The census statistics of 1890 place
the number of our citizens over ten
years of age engaged in gainful oc-
equations at 22.7s5,0Oo, while Sir
Michael G. Mulhall the noted statis-
tican, refers to the fact that no other
civilized country could ever before
boast OF Al ,000, 600 instructed citizens.
Indeed, we may find in the able re-
view of the Industrial activities of
our country recently published by
that distinguished authority many
striking texts for patriotic contempla-
ton. He states facts very frankly.
This day, forever the most iliustrious
in our history, is crowded with patri-
otto memories. 1t belongs to our his
tory and celebrates that only which is
grand and inspiring in history. Every
memory, every tradition, every event
about it must inspire every patriot
with true homage to country and with
hope, courage and confidence for the
future. 1t is the baptismal day of
freedom.
Peace. order and good will among
the people, patriotism in their hearts;
truth and honor, honesty and justice
in the executive and judicial and
legislative branches of the govern
ment, municipal, state and national,
all yielding respect and obedience to
tho law. ali equal before the law and
alike amenable to it-such a condi-
ton win make our government too
strong ever to be broken by internal
dissensions and too powerful TO be
overturned by any enemy from with
out it.
None Born to Power.
I'm America none is born to power;
none is assured of station or command
except by his own worth or useful
ness 1t has long been demonstrated
that the philosophy of Jefferson is
true: to have no governmental stan
dards but our own; we will have no
flag but the glorious old Stars and
Stripes.
"Workingmen of Chicago, let me ad-
jure you to be faithful to the acts,
traditions and teachings Of the IA
theirs. Make their standard of patriot
ism and duty your own. Whatever the
difficulties of the present or problems
of the future, meet them in the same
spirit of unflinching loyalty to country,
the same devotion and love for home
and family, the same acknowledgment
of dependence upon God which has al
ways cherished those great men.
Therein rests your greatest prosperity
and happiness and the surest attain
ment of your best and dearest am
billions. Have confidence in the
of our free institutions and
faith in the justice OF Your fell ow citi-
zens."

THREW A BOMB.
A Fiend Creates a Panic at Fort
WnYne, Ind,


Fort Wayne. Ind. July A panic
was caused by the action Of an I'M
known man who threw gas pipe
bomb into d crowd of people rushing
10 d fire. The internal machine was
sent soaring over the heads OF the
people and some one sounded a cry OF
alarm Everybody sought a place OF
safety, but Miss Minnie Hazemeyer,
girl of 16, was unable to get out OF
range of the missile, as she had been
thrown down by the excited and af-
frighted crowd. She had just risen to
her knees when the bomb exploded,
hurting the ragged pieces of iron in
all. directions. One of the fragments
struck the girl in the throat, cutting a
terrible cash. Another fragment tore
off one of her thumbs and she was
dashed violently Lack upon the ground
by the force of the explosion. The au-
thor of the tragedy was seen TO throw
the bomb. but the police have a poor
description. and it is doubtful if he
will be captured. The affair created the
most intense Indignation, and had he
been captured a lynching would have
followed in short order.

ARROWHEAD BURNED.
Famous Summer Resort Now in
Ashes.

San Francisco, Cal. July 5.-The Ar
rowhead hotel, one of the noted tour
ist resorts of southern California,

San Francisco, July Ar. Irving,
jeweler of Tepachaia, Mexico, whose
wife was drowned on the Colima, ar
rived today on the steamer Acapulco.

said he, land the deckload of lumber
caused her to roll to q dangerous de-
gree, even in fairly smooth water.
Captain Taylor paid no attention to
the protests of the captain o. the port,
and the latter official notified the secre-
tary of war of Mexico that the CO.
lima was not in a condition to go to
sea \ copy of the dispatch was given
to Captain Taylor, but the boat was
well out to sea before any reply was
received to the. official communication
of the captain Of the port"
