soon undermined the pillars of her fame.
And China, too, that spacious seat of
ancient civilization and power. is another
evidence. We find that her first laws
consisted in these simple words, ''Up-
rightness and truth" and the others.
"EXamine and Judge clearly" Under
these laws China rose to great prestige
among nations, but she forgot their prac-
tice, and abandoned her first principles
with the result that true patriotism fled
and although defended by guns, fort
resses, ships and vast armies she was
forced at the feet of the invading Japs
to sue for peace.
We are told that patriotism will save
the nation. This is true if it is the right
kind of patriotism. Is it in dreaming
over the past, as Spain is today doing?
Is it in gazing at the flag as it floats over
'the little red sc~hoolhouse?" Is it in
rearing monuments of marble to the
memory of our departed braves, or in
strewing flowers upon the graves of our
dead heroes? Not in one, nor in all of
these lies true patriotism. True patriot
ism lies in an intelligent, upright and
truthful people, who are able to exam
inc and Judge clearly. In such man
hood lies the safety of ii nation.
The government Of the United States
was founded upon true patriotism. 1t
was not because Washington was a great
and good general that victory perched
upon his banner. so much as that back
of him stood a newborn patriotism,
seeking freedom and inalienable rights
of life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness. 1t was not because Lincoln was
grand, noble and patriotic that the coun-
try put down a rebellion after four years
of wal and bloodshed, but because zeal
Gus freemen had resolved that n govern
ment of the people, for the people and
by the people should not perish from the
earth.
1t is not because this nation is today
strong and powerful that a war against
Spain is waged, but because of our wish
to extend and spread the light of a new
| aiuilizntinp T., ,,l;o,,o A. l.,-. 4z1l-.
at our doors. 1t should not be a war of
conquest, nor of subjugation. 1t should
be one of enlightenment. 1t should ever
stand out boldly rs a shining star of hope
to all patriots of the human race, of
every cline, who are laboring to make
the world better and mankind happier.
Let not the fame and glory of our un-
selfish devotion to principle pass away,
but let it be pcrpetuated until not one
dark spot shall remain upon the earth
and then, but not till then, will it be
possible to realize that inspiring dream
of ga confederation of nations, a parlia-
mcnt of the world"
Let us then resolve on this day Of glo-
riOus commemOration, on this 122nd an

stand, as it were, shoulder to shoulder
with ~ soldier President and our faith

our battles, and the battles of that noble

man race" So that we may prove to
the world our devotion to principle and
our love for the flag of our country.

A GLORIOUS FOURTH
One of the Most Elaborate Gel
ebratiOns Ever Seen at This
Proud City.
A DAY OF ENJOYMENT FOR ALL.
Sending up the Eagle.

This Fourth of July at Neihart was
one Of unrestrained exultation, the
events OF which will never be forgotten
by the happy participants. The day
was clear, and unbrokcn by the cy-
clones, or thunder gusts usually exper-
fenced on a holiday. The only storm
was the continual cannonade of the fire
works committee and the small boy;
and the only wind noticed was that
which blew through the brass horns of
the village band.
At daybreak the cannonade began
and Manila, Santiago, and Havana were
soon taken. In fact almost everybody
took IIavanas that day. They captured
Cervera oven again, and burned Blanco
in effigy. They then gave Camara a
chase in the Indian ocean and laid siege
to Madrid. After the battle began there
was no more sleep for the inhabitants,
and four cords of cannon crackers
were sacrificed to the success of Ameri-
can arms.
The town was gaily decked with
bunting and flags. At 10 o'clock the
procession formed at the hose house in
the following order:
Standard Bearer,
Neihart Free Coinage Band,
Hogan's Alley, go strong with flags,
Belt Mountain Miners Union,
Coming Men of America,
Citizens IN foot,
Bicycle Club.
Hose Co. No. 1,
Hose Co. No. 2,
Hook & Ladder Co.
The procession marched to the Frisco
hotel, then counter marched to Central
park, the band meanwhile discoursing
sweet strains of music, while the wind
soughed through the branches of the
trees. Chief f. A. Shaw of the N. F,
ID. chaired the assembly with his usual
dexterity. The following pro gram was
rendered:
"American Medley March,. Band.
Declaration of Independence.
........ Miss Nellie Boland.
Hail Columbia. Band.
Grafton. ....... Edmund p. Bennett.
80, Hail Us, Ye Free" overture Band.
The rendition of this program would
have done credit to a much larger city,
Miss Boland of the high school class OF
'9S dressed in pure white, with roses, re-
cited the declaration of independence
with Evolutionary ability. The audience
cheered her in a vigorous Manner, and
pronounced the delivery most excellent,
Edmund P. Bennett, class of '99, fol.
lowed with IN Grafton which provoked
cheer upon cheer from the assembly.
For the benefit of those unable to heal
it we present it in full. Mot in ships,
not in guns, not.in fortresses, but in q
soldiers patriotism lies the safety of q
nation"

l and 2, the latter winning the town trO-
ply and $25. This is the first race in
which company . has ever been success
ful. and its members naturally feel hila-
rious over the result. Time, 80 seconds.
The fireworks of the town were mon
opolized by Dan Redden and A. d. Nc
Leod, who, ou of an especially patriotic
feeling, had previously bought up all
the local stocks, and at night the pyro-
technic display on Society terrace was
magnificent all same Helena. The Mel
hart band played Girl | left behind
me-" 'Hot time in III old town, to-
night" and other inspiring national airs,
while the populacc witnessed the scintil-
lating effect of hundreds of rockets, can
dies and wheels. The colored fire and
flower pots were grand. The niger
chasers and spit-devils advanced in solid
p~latoons, while the revolving transpar-
e%ncies, presenting Washington, Dewey,
and other terrors to Spanish misrule,
were reflected with a mellow light as of
an Andalusian sunset in hay time.
The dance at night was well attended,
and the Neihart orchestra distinguished
itself in the class of music rendered.
The Fire Department managed the va
rious appointments in an able manner,
and July 4th 1898, at Neihart was a
roaring success.

WILL NOT BE ABOLISHED.
Chairman Dingley says the War Revenue
Measure Will Continue In Force
for . Year.

washington, Nov. 1.-THE Washing
ton Post will say tomorrow that the
war tax will not be abolished at the
coming short session OF congress and
| that there will be no revision of the
tariff whatever. IL bases his announce
ment upon the positive statement made
to-day by Chairman Dingley, OF the
ways and means committee. who In an
interview says: The government VIII
need for some time all the revenue pro-
duced by the war taxes. During the
month Of October the war expenditures
exceeded the war revenue by some VS.
GOO. 900 and this month they viii be
81. OO0. 900 in excess. This being the
case. there will be no changes. at least
this fiscal year. The war revenue act
will continue in force and unchanged.
except perhaps in a few minor admins
trative features. for at least a year
longer.
1T is hardly necessary to add that
there will be no revision of the tarin.
although / ave seen some statements
to the effect that such a revision Is
contemplated. The session is limited to
three months, and that short period
will be mainly occupied In passing the
appropriation bills. in enacting new
laws for the regular armv and In de-
Gliding upon legislation necessary for
the government OF Hawaii In addi-
ton to these important matters. the
usual numbe of routine matters Will
arise. From the present outlook, the
session will be well under way before
the treaty of peace with Spain will be
laid before the senate and the ratih-
cation of the document may not he
accomplished long before the Attn of
March arrives"
"Will that necessitate an extra ses-
sion?'
1T is expected, of course" said Mr..
Dingley. but IL Ii impossible to know
what will arise between the first of
December and the 4th of March. but
so far as the present outlook can form
a basis for Judgment. j should say
that no extra session Will be necessary
or desirable unless some new question
should arise. In the first place. we
shall not know until the treaty of
peace has been ratified what new pos
sessions we are TO have and what leg
islation is necessary for them, and
even then we will be in no position to
act intelligently. I think that the mil
itary administration ought to be con-
tinued for at least a year longer. Mil
itary administration means the main
tenance of order. the establishment of
sanitary regulations. h giving OF as

Insurance of Married Women.

From the Boston Transcript.
The action of the life insurance COM

married women, unless they are bread
winners of the family, or in other
words, wholly independent Of their hus-
bands. is understood to have been ar
rived at with a view to lessen the crime
of murder for the purpose of securing
insurance money, several cases of the
kind having arisen within the last two
years. The action of the insurance
companies Is consistent with the under
lying principle of life insurance and one
which is insisted upon in the assess
ment fraternities that the province OF
insurance is to provide for the depend
ent by those upon whom they depend,
and not for the benefit OF those who
have dependents. A man cannot be
said TO have an insurance interest in
the life Of a wife whom he supports.
but. on the other hand, a woma can
not have an insurable interest in the life
of the husband who is dependent on
her; so, to be consistent, the companies
should refuse to accept a risk on the
life Of a man whose wife supports him.

some Odd vocations in Kansas.

From the Kansas City Journal.
Many funny things may be observed
by one who stands around the registra-
ton Office. At Topeka a man gave his
occupation as contractor. He has
the contract to keep the weeds down In
the state house yard. A young man
who was doing his first work as report
er upon a small weekly paper gave his
occupation as Journalist" The next
man to step to the desk was one of the
veteran editors of Kansas, who sub
scribed himself as a newspaper man.
AT Wichita a man asked to be put
down as an invalid" and two others
said: Il guess you will have to put me
down as a loafer." In the same town
a man gave his age at 81 and his occu-
patton as elevator. boy" Another
Wichita man subscribed himself as n
dealer i'm wet goods" a term, by the
way. which has oceans of significance
in Kansas. In Leavenworth one on those
fellows who do business behind three
golden balls, ave his occupation as
capitalist" and the ocular fellow who
hauls off dead horses. dogs and cows at
Atchison recorded himself as a "taxid-
ermist."
