THE DECLARATION OF INDEPEND-
 ENC'E

The declaration is divided into two parts: First, the statement of certain general principles of the rights of men and peoples; and, second, an attack on George III as a tyrant, setting forth in series of propositions the wrongs done by him to the Americans which justified them in rebellion. Criticism has been di- rected first against the attack on the King, then to the originality of the doc trlnes enunciated, then against the state ment of the rights of man, Jefferson's .self-evident truths and finally against the style.
 The latest criticism is easily disposed or. Year after year. for more than a cen tury, the Declaration of Independence has been solemnly read in every city, town and hamlet in the United States to thousands of Americans, who have heard IL over and over again, and who listen to It in reverent silence and rejoice that 1t is theirs to read. If it had been badly written the most robust patriotism would be incapable of this habit. False rhetoric or tursid sentences would have been their American sense of humor would have seen to it's execution. The mere fact that Jefferson's words have stood successfully this endless repetition is tnfallible proof that the declaration has the true and high literary quality which alone could have preserved through such trials its impressiveness and it's savor. To those who will study the declaration carefully from the literary side it is soon apparent that the English is fine, the tone noble and dignified, and the style strong. clear and impoSing.-Senator H. c.

STEAMER PARIS REACHES PORT Has Succeeded in Elud- ing the Spanish
 Warships. Will Reach Her Pier in the East River Early This
 Morning. She Carries Guns and Ammunition for the United States Gov
 ernnaent
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK. April 30.-The great American line steamship Paris, rechristened the Yale, was sighted east of Fire Island at 47 minutes past 2 o'clock this morning. The Paris will reach quarantine about half-past 2 o'clock. This will bring her up to the slip some time between g and 10, just in time for her commander Captain Watkins, to hear the cheers from the crowded ferry boats that will be sure and greet his ship when she comes to her landing
 The Paris brings 160 passengers and guns and ammunition for the Govern ment. She left Southampton under hurry orders. aptain Watkins knew before putting to sea that war was on and he was cautioned to keep a sharp lookout for Spanish warships. It was rumored that the Paris had been cap- tured by torpedo-boat in the English Channel and another report had it that she had put into an English port to elude a hostile craft. Neither of these rumors had the slightest foundation
 To Captain Watkins discretion was left the course the Paris would take. Custom-house brokers are preparing to give Captain Watkins a rousing re- ctDtion when he goes to the Custom house to enter his manifest. The in- terior of the big rotunda is gayly deco rated with flags and bunting.
