POPULAR GOVERNMENT.


Care Must He Exercised to Keep Within
the Limit of Safety.
The Declaration of Independence was
an important event in history not 30
much because it was a revolt against
tyrannical power, nor even because Of
its assertion of the correct principles
which underlie the social organization.
It's chief importance grows out Of the
fact that 1t was followed by the erec-
ton of the American colonies into
permanent government having for its
cornerstone the leading features en-
braced in the Declaration of Independ-
ence. 1t is of value not SO much because
of its expression Of correct creed of
human rights and correct principles of
human government, but because of the
important practical results by which it
was followed. The signers of the Decla-
ration and the trainers of our federal
constitution were enabled out Of the
chaos which followed the overthrow Of
British power to establish an enduring
government.
History is full of instances where
other people have thrown off the yoke
of the oppressor and attempted to main
tain their liberties by self government,
but the history of these attempts is but
catalogue of sad failures because Of
the lack of virtue in the people suffi-
cient to maintain by wise legislation
what they have achieved by arms. The
commonwealth of England was soon fol-
lowed by the return of Charles III, who
amid the plaudits of the populace was
restored TO the throne of his ancestors.
The people of France, after destroying
the royal power and adopting republic
an constitution, too, soon proved them
selves incapable of maintaining the su-
premacy of law by popular government.
The history Of some Of the South Amer
lean states is an illustration alike of the
ability of people to achieve their free
dom and of the incapacity to maintain
their liberty by stable government.
Courage is not the only qualification nee
essarv III the maintenance of "a govern
ment by the people, but coupled with
the boldness TO strike for liberty must
be the virtue to restrain even liberty it.
self within constitutional limits. The
government, whatever it's form, which
fails to protect the person and property
of the citizen must inevitably perish.

people in the Franklin Street Congregational
Church, at Manchester, N. III. Five doctors
had arrived and were in attendance before
he regained consciousness. In all these cities
and towns the newspapers freely mentioned
his affection at the time. Mr.. Dunnett said
he had consulted many physicians, though he
said TO be entirely fair he had never been any
great length of time under treatment by any
one doctor because of his itinerant mode Of
life. In the early part of the summer OF 1895,
while in Rockville assisting the pastor Of the
Wall Street Methodist Church In eyangellstic
services, he was speaking of his trouble TO q
friend who urged him To try DIR. Nllliams'
Pink Pills, and next day presented him with q
dozen boxes. 4" / took the pills." said Mr..
Dunnett. and / declare TO you am well
man to-day. | used 10 worry a great deal
over the pain about my heart, but that is all
gone now, and / feel like new man." All
this the reverend gentleman told in a simple
conversational way, and when it was sug-
gested that he let il be known, he rather
demurred, because, as he put II, " am almost
afraid to say | am cured, and yet there is 10
man enjoying better health to-day than | do"
At that time, at Mr.. Dunnett's request,
his statement was only published locally,
but now writing under the date of Jan. 2lss,
from Fitchburg, Mass, where he has been
conducting a very successful series of evan
gelistic meetings, he says: " / had held back
from writing in regard to my health, not be,
cause | had forgotten. but because il seemed
too good To be true that the old time pain

return, but / can certainly say it has not
troubled me for months, and / am in better

prefer not to say anything about my apPe-
tite; like the poor, it is ever with me: Yes,

rreeuofn In the Worius
The Fourth of July is unique among
anniversaries not only because it COM
memorates the modern rebirth OF free
dom after its death in the middle ages,
but because it holds place in history
as the first modern anniversary date set
apart for commemoration by all the
people of nation.
The men who made the day historic
al felt instinctively the significance OF
their work and that its influence was
not bounded by ocean lines They felt
that the day was to commemorate the
liberation not only of people, but in
large measure of the race. They ,believ-
ed that il was TO be first among many
days to come illumined with the light
of the brighter pages of human history.
At the first anniversary of the date.
held in Philadelphia, and in which the
moving figures were the men who had
signed the Declaration of Independence.
this idea was clearly expressed. They
had builded not only for country, but
for the world, and not only for gener-
alton, but for all time. They had given
the national anniversary place in hui
man annals, they thought and said.
The century which has followed has
justified the opinion.
In less than half generation France
had made the eighteenth Brumaire i'm
mortal as the date of the fall of the
Bastille.
The influence of the Fourth of July
has been worldwide. AS the people
have come more into government in ev.
cry land they have widened the scope
of national aspirations. England now
has her jubilees and days commemora-
tive of Trafalgar and Waterloo, as well
as the lugubrious anniversary of Guy
Fawkes Sedan day, every year, sets
Germany afiame with patriotic ardor
for the fatherland. Italy has her days
sacred to the memories of its successive
steps in the achievement of Italian
unity.

Independence Day.

Columbia fair,
With glory rare,
Sitting as queen in thy western sea,
The people pause
To give applause,
To celebrate thine ascendancy.
From eastern surge
To western verge
Thy sons in glad activity
Hail loud and long
With shout and song
The day of thy nativity.
Though dark thy morn
OF oppression born
And bloody thine earliest history,
Splendidly bright
Is thy MONDAY light
Grand be thy future Of mystery.
The portal CLEANS
With the radiant beams
From the lifted hand Of Liberty,
sign of rest
From those opprest
And promise of peace and prosperity.
God save our land,
Where hand in hand
Justice ana mercy habitatel
For her be strong
WhCne'er the wrong
Or dangers 'gainst her militatei
Free as the breeze
That fans her leas,
Bright as the stars Of her summer night,
Pure as the ore
In her treasured store,
Lord, may she ever be thy delight.
