The DEPENDENTS Plea.

And now the defendant comes
into court and pleads the general

she has suffered damage to the
amount of several hundred million
dollars damages. by the United

Thousands OF voters are regularly
held in the ranks of the e. o. p.
by some specious plea of national
or local danger, when their better
Judgment tells them that they are
doing wrong and violating their
trust of citizenship. For a quarter
OF century the republican par
ty has been making promises of re-
form aud retrenchment to the peo-
pie at the beginning of each cam
paign, only to be forgotten and bro
ken when they were returned to
power. They will come to you
again, express their sympathy for
your misfortunes and swear, by the
great horned spoon, that they wifi
do something for you next time.
Don't believe them. That party
could not help you if it would; its
great high priest, Mark Hanna,
does not recognize anything smaller
thon a corporation; he cannot grasp
the meaning of citizenship.

As the clouds of war fade away
on the horizon a feeling of sadness
settles down on the patriotic souls
of those who delightin talking war.
Ifonly We could fgh. our battles
with high sounding words, how
bloodless they would be. Let us
not forget that war means devasta-
ton, agony and death. National
honor and national equity can be
sustained by national arbitratian
and the horrors of carnage and its
attendant evils avoided. The she'd
ding Of blood brutalizes man, its
effects extend to the generation
yet unborn.

THEY DON'T WANT THE OFFICES.

A cry goes UP from the republican
press of the state protesting against
the unwarranted and unregsnerate
action of the union people in act
ually nominating candidates for
Office in the various counties where
they have united. They are great
ly scandalized over this action of
the reform forces, and very vehe-
mently characterize it as a "scram-
bic fer Office" Our friends of the
G. o. P. seem to think that the re-
form people should be content to
fight for principle and should qui-
etly hand the Offices over to the re-
publicans all, the same as the gold
democrats. Such action would no
doubt be very pleasing to the repub-
licans, and would remove their deep
seated aversion to uuion or fusion,
whichever they prefer to call it.
But much as the reform forces
would like to satisfy and crafty
their republican friends we fear
that they will not go to the extent
evidently desired of them.
There is deeply rooted belief in
the breasts of these reform people
that it is the Offices that the repub-
licans want after all. and that if they
are given the Offices and the reform
people the principle, that the prin-
ciple will meet the fate it has so Of
ten and regularly met at the hands
of the G. o. p. before.
But to be serious, how can any
party effect reform of existing evils
in state or county affairs unless
they get control of the offices?.
Is it to be expected that the re-
publican will carry out the reforms
demanded by the democratic and
peoples party if they are elected to
the offices9 Hardly. Then if these
parties are earnest in their cry for re- /
form the only way they can demon
atrate it is to nominate and support
men who have advocated these re.
forms, and i'll whom they have con-
fidence. This is what the rebub-
licans do when they advocate any
thing and it is the way every other
party does. This cry OF scramble
for Office" is one OF the thinnest
things that partisan paper ever
put up.

When the greatest document of human
liberty since the day of Magma Charta was
finally passed, it is related that John Han
cock, in signing the document ''in letters
large enough for George LII to read with
out speetacles, urged upon his comrades
the necessity of hanging together in this
matter. Yes, indeed, interrupted the
facetious Ben Franklin; 1--WE must all
hang together, or assuredly we shall all
shang separately. When it comes to
hanging" said Harrison, the luxurious
heavy gentleman from Virginia (ex-Pres-
ident Harrison S great grandfather), to the
little, meager Gerry of Massachusetts,, 81

of independence was communicated to the

tolled the knell of tyranny and rang in the
birth of new nation, great, glorious
and free, amid the joyous acclamations
of the crowd. Exchange.

The Fearless sieners.

None of the men who became world
famous for all time by their part in the
Revolutionary war and in the delicate and
intricate negotiations that followed had
more to lose or risked their all more reso-
lutely and intrepidly than did the signers
of the Declaration of Independence They
were the first American heroes. The en-
thusiasm of popular movement, we'll de-
fined and started toward success, was lack
ing for their inspiration They were the
creators of the tremendous enterprise in
which the destinios of a race were en-
barked. Failure meant the loss of prop
erty, of social caste, of existence itself.
Success of the most signal kind even-the
kind that tcame-meant incaloulable sacri-
fees for most of them 1t twas life or death
in the cast of the die, and they cast it fear
lessly. New York Herald

A "I.easl Pine Cincl. I.

"The expression q lead pipe cinch' orig.
mated in Brooklyn explained a well
known turflnan to Star reporter.
Though it is very frequently used by
sporting people, it is not over % years old,
and doubt if it is that old. 1t indicates
a sure thing or at least thing that is
thought to be dead sure. There are sew
eral explanations of its origin, but am
satisfied that Brooklyn was its home 1t
was coined in this way; Some years ago
fellow entered plumbing shop and stole
piece of lead pipe. He wanted to take
it over to New York, and to keep it from
being seen he wrapped tho pipe around his
body and then put his clothes on over it.
"a cineh, in turf language, means a
girth or saddle band or anything that is
used to keep saddle on a horse or mule
tight .Cinching up means, therefore,
tightening up and is of Spanish origin.
AS tho fellow with the lend pipe around
his body jumped to catch the fcrryboat he
fell overheard, and of course the weight Of
the lead carried him down. A horseman,
In explaining the occurrence, said the thief
had a lead pipe cinch, and he had, and It
drowned him. - Washington Star.

The Fourth From British standpoint.
The Book of Days, the wade mecun,
SO to speak, Of all good Britains, has this
to say about the day on which all good
Americans become delirious with joy and
the smell of powder:
When a country or government has
been baffied in its efforts to attain or pre-
serve hated rule over another people, it
must be content to see it's failure made
the subject of never ending triumph and
exultation. The joy attached to the sense
of escape or emancipation tends to perpet-
uate itself by periodical celebrations, in
which it is not likely that the motives of
the other party or the general justice Of
the case will be very carefully considered
or allowed for. We may doubt If it be
morally expedient thus to keep alive the
memory Of fncts which as certainly infer
modification to one party as glorifcation
to another. -" Exchange

THE NATIONAL BIRTHDAY.

July Was the Day on Which the Inde-
pendence Resolution Was Adopted.
On June IL jefferson of Virginia, Liv-
ingston of New York, Adams of Massa-
ohusetts, Franklin of Pennsylvania and
Sherman of Connecticut were elected a
committee by the Continental congress to
draw up formal declaration. Jefferson
was elected chairman. On July / con-
gress, in committee of the whole took up
Lees resolutions for independence which
had been introduced on June z The reso-
lutions were reported favorably to the full
house on July by the vote of 8 states to
4. The same day the congress concurred.
This day, July 2, seemed to the patriots
assembled in Philadelphia the most mem
orable in history. They fully believed that
future generations would celebrate July 3
as Independence day. John Adams wrote
to his wife: 1.-THE I'd day of July, 1875,
will be the most memorable epoch in the
history of America, to be cell Jrated by
succeeding generations as the great ami
versary festival, oomlnemorated as the day
of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion
to God Almighty, from one end of the
continent to the other, from this time for
evermore. / am well aware of the toll
and blood and treasure that it will cost us
to maintain this declaration. Yet through
all the gloom L can see the rays of light
and glory; that posterity will triumph in
that day S transaction.
By one of those curious anomalies of
which history is full the 4th of July,
and not the 3D. is celebrated as the nation

RELIC OF THE WAR OF '7e.
Flag Carried by the Father of President
MiIIard FiIImore

MilIard Fillmore.
Independence day is the one day on
which the red, white and blue is uafurled
to wave gracefully in breezes that are pop
ularly supposed to blow in more patriotic
manner ON this than any other day in the
calendar year But there is one flag in
Chicago which will not be hauled aloft on
the Fourth at the end of halyard, says
the Chicago Tribune It is too precious
relic to be frayed by rude winds, and,
moreover, 1t has served its day. 1t is
flag with an honorable and revered past,
all of which win probably never be told,
for the men who knew its minute history
and of the scenes through which it passed
in the stirring days of 1916 have long since
moidered into dust.
The flag is a relic of the Revolutionary
war and is an heirloom in the Fillmore
family, lineal descendants of Millard Fill
more. Its present custodian is W. Henry
Wilson, demonstration of bacteriology in
the Hahnemann Medical college in this
city. Mr.. Wilson'S wife was Miss Maude
Stewart Fillmore, daughter of Franklin
B. Fillmore, first lieutenant Company I,
Twenty sixth Illinois Volunteer infantry
The flag was carried in the Revolutionary
war by Nathaniel Fillmore, father Of Pres
ident Millard Fillmore.
The flag is 10 feet long by 5% feet wide.
It's oolors were originally the regulation
red, white and blue, but the ravages Of
time have faded the red to dim brown,
turned the once snowy white to an antique
yellow and metamorphosed the blue into
tint which contains only suggestion Of
the cerulean union on which the stars
once stood out in bold relief. The field
consists of 13 stripes, originally alternate
red and white of equal width. The union
was the blue and the depth of nine of the
bars. In the center of the field are the
figures '76, crudely formed If gauged by
the standard of art of over 1870 years later,
cut from linen and sewed to the union
Over the figures "76" is an arch of II
stars, seven pointed. A star is also placed
in each upper corner of the union, making
13 stars in all Every portion of the flag
is hand woven, home spun and hand
sewed linen. This is clearly apparent from
even oursory examination, but is proved
conclusively by lnicroscopical test, show
ing more uneven thread and texture
than are produced by machinery.

Independence ,Justif1ed.

Never was the Declaration of American
Independence in 1776 so justified before
God and man as it is by the relations and
conditions of the two English speaking
nations which exist today. Never was the

grandly independent In it's self sustaining
energies and SO full of all the elements Of
high civilization, of political. social,
