THE DAY WE CELEBRATE.

The coming Fourth of July will be the most eventful in the history of this nation. It seems scarcely possible that l22 years have passed since the Declaration of Independ- ence was signed and we began our existence as free and independ- ent government.
 We smile at the so-called Re public of Cuba, yet at the time of the signing of the aforesaid Dec laration we as nation were ex- ceedingly small. A careful study of events reveals the fact that Washington s army-was no great CT than the combined forces of Go meg and Garcia, and our navy did not equal the one-ship navy of the insurgents.
 How mighty have we grown since. From q population of less than 5000, ,ooo we have grown to 10000. GOO, and our thirteen colo nies have become ffty-one States and Territories, not counting Alas ka. From nothing our navy has advanced to third among the na- tions of the earth, while our army Is rapidly assuming gigantic pro portions. From condition of practical bankruptcy we have aris- en toa position of wealth and cred 1t second to no nation. and our re- sources are simply ineXhaustible.
 Clearly we have not been given this mighty heritage for purely sell fish interests. It is indeed great thing that the flag of freedom waves supreme from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the lakes to the gulf, but its benign influences are not 10 be cireumscribed by these boundaries. The signs of the times indicate that t has been giv- en as an ensign of liberty, not on ly to the Western hemisphere, but to the whole world Its mission Is  to proclaim liberty to the captive and freedom to the oppressed of every nation and every cline.
 Then let the coming Fourth be a day of universal rejoicing through out the land, and day in which every trace of fhe unhappy diyis-
