 eGS RroaCway. July 4.

R T O one could tell when the Fourth N burst upon Oakland. The cele-
 N brating began last night when
 the brilliant red fire from the top
 of the Claus Spreckels building . announced to this and half a dozen other counties that great victory had been gained, and it was kept up till long past midnight.
 Had there not been cracker ex- ploded or a rocket sent sllyward, or a parade. or a sham battle, or oratory and song-it would still have been a great day. All that was needed to stir the. national heart was the news from Santiago that once again had the haughty spirit of 'despotic Spain been humbled, even to the dust.
 People focked into the streets by tens of thousands to read the bulletins and discuss the news and to congratulate themselves and each other, Everybody realized that it was the greatest and most historic Fourth since that of 1176. while the significance of the events that made it famous are hardly less momen- tous than that which distinguished the act that invested the day with all that is dear and sacred to. the American heart. - oakland put forth her most energetic arG generous efforts. Stars and stripes gilded with sunshine were everywhere and the deep meaning that they should convey was felt by the multitude that turned out to honor them. Could the reople, of Spain for one moment realize the possibilities of nation swayed by the spirit that animated this county to-

"Grease 'Em Aaaln.u

Theodore Roosevelt was not always the collected, diplomatic speaker he is to-day. The earmarks of the public man were just showing themselves when at school. During those days whenever there was anything special Freddy" was called upon to deliver an oration or 8 recitation.
 Upon the occasion of which this story deals he was announced to reeite the poem beginning
 At midnight in his guarded tent
 The Turk lay dreaming of the hour
 When Greece her knees in suppliauce bent
 Would tremble at his power.
 "Teddy" rose before a crowded house and started out braveIy. With all the f1ourishes of boyish energy he repeated the lines as far as "When Greece her knees-' and then he stopped.
 He stammered, shufled his feet and began again: "When Greece her knees"
 The old schoolmaster leaned for ward and in shrill voice said "Grease lem again, Teddy, and may be it will go then"

An Anelo-American Alliance.
[From Harperls WeekIy.l

An alliance between Great Britain and the United States-that is, be- tween all countries and peoples speak ing the English language-is now fully within the contemplation of practical politicians. Whether treaty will soon be negotiated is another matter. Politicians on both sides of the water are at least preparing their own minds and the minds of the peo- pie of England and America by con- sidering and discussing the possibility of such an agreement. By the very act of doing so they have brought the peo- pie Of the two countries nearer to- gether, and in England a strong popu- lar sentiment already exists in favor of union. It would be difficult to fix the period at which this English senti- ment of decided friendliness towards America began it's present strong and gratifying manifestation, but, para doxical as it may seem, we are inclined to credit the Venezuela incident with the awakening of that respect for us which is so obvious an element of the British press and public towards Ameri- cans. At least there is no doubt that English public men and English society did not look upon Mir. Olney's dis patches to MT. Bayard, and upon Mr. Cleveland's message, in the same way as they struck some of us in this country who did not agree with the President and his Secretary of State. Be this as it may, the fact that an interna- tional alliance is desired by English men Of all parties is now one of the foremost facts of international politics. If it had not been so before by reason of the frank confessions of English sympathy for us in our war with Spain, and by active and material aid afford ed us by the government at time when the Continental nations intended to prevent war by an unfriendly demonstration against us, it is now certain by reason of Mir. Chamberlain's declarations in his Birmingham speech in favor of an Anglo-American alliance.

The eaitor wn Get There.

It doesn't take money to run a news paper; it can be run without money. It is a charitable institution, a beg ging concern, a highway robber, B'God- frey. The newspaper is a child of the air, a creature of dream. It can go on and on and on, when any other con- cern would in the hands of receiver and wound up with cobwebs in the window. It takes gall to run news paper. It takes scintillative, aero batic imagination, and half dozen white shirts, and railroad pass to run newspaper. But money-Heavens to Betsy and six hands round, who ever needed money in conducting newspaper?
 Kind words are the medium of ex- change that do the business for the editor-kind words and church social tickets. When you see an editor with money, watch him. He'll be paying bills and disgracing the profession. Never give money to an editor. Make him trade it out. He likes to swap. Then when you die, after having stood around for years and sneered at the editor and his little jim crow paper, be sure and have your wife send in for three extra copies by one of your weep | ing children, and when she reads the generous and touching notice about you, forewarn her to neglect to send fifteen cents to the editor. It would overwhelm him.
 1 Money is 8 oorrupting thing. The editor knows is, and what he wants is your heartfelt thanks. Then he can thank his printers and they can thank their groeers. Send your job work out of the county and then come and ask for your notices.
 The Lord love a cheerful giver | He'll take care of all the editors Don't worry about the editor. He has a charter from the State to act as 2 doormat for the community. He'll gel the pa per out somehow, and stand uI for YOU when you run for office, ant | lie about your pigeon toed daughter
 tackey wedding, and blow about youi
 idiotic son when he gets a $4 pc,
 week job, and weep over your shriveled
 soul when it is released from you ] grasping body, and smile at your wife
 second marriage. He'll get along. Tn, l -.l .,l.0,,, l1,,ovur hoxv-hut the adito

The Silver Men Take a Hand.

WAsHINeToS. May 29.-Si1ver men of the three parties have shown their in tention to blockade the passage of the war revenue bill if necessary to pre- vent the issue of $50O, ,000, 900 in bonds.
 Allen, Teller and Daniels, supposed to voice the sentiments of the three par ties, have given notice that if the re- publicans do not incorporate some of the senate amendments they will intro duce others that may precipitate a de- bate. Last evening caucus was held and the silver men have concluded that no emergency is at hand to demand the imposing of so much debt on the people at this time. It is hinted in cer- tain quarters that so soon as the bonds pass, steps may be taken to bring the war to speedy close. The presidents statement that Porto Rico would be oc- cupied immediately for fear that Spain may sue for peace while Cuba is still in her possession, gives color to the ru- nor. At any rate it is thought there is plenty of time to consider the advisa- bility of such an enormous loan. Silver men seem determined to stand for the coinage of the seigniorage, and if neces- sary, the issuance of s150, 1000, 900 in treasury notes.

 The oil glands of the skin are most numerous in races living under the tropics, because the oil is natures pro lection against the heat of the sun. In hot countries its action is often as- sisted by the application of vegetable or animal oils.

 That birds build their nests by im- itation has been called in question by Mir. A. c. Butler.

Clocks That Turn out the Nights.

In these days of electricity it is not essential to have somebody turn out the lights Time switches are made which can be attached to clock and made to turn out electric lights at any desired hour. Suppose. for instance, the lights are in a show window, and it is desired to put them out at midnight. At that hour the clock closes @ circuit, permit ting the passing of an electric current to the switch, which, thus released cuts off the electric light and so puts out the lights.-N. ', Sun. t-.e
