MONDAY EVENING, JULY 8. 1893

To MORROW WILL be holiday
throughout the length and breadth OF
the United States; the noise of the fac
tories will be unheard; the laborer will
cease, for awhile, his toll; the mechanic
will put aside his tools; the merchant
will close his place OF business; the law
yer will neglect his brief. From thou
sands of cities, as we'll as from the mill
tary posts and the great battleshlps OF
the country, the cannon will beich
forth their thunder5, and the voices OF
the sciolists and the demagoguee will
sound again the praises of the fathers of
the republic. All will don their Sunday
attire; festivity will reign; and the night
will be illumined by the glare of fire
works. And why? Would that the
multitudes who will celebrate Iudepen-
dence Day, would carefully read and
ponder over the Declaration OF the 4th
of July, 1776. They would there see
that life, liberty, and the pursuit OF
happiness" are the ipalienable rights OF
all meu; THAT governments are insti
tuted among men to secure these rights,
deriving their Just poacerS from the con-
sent of the governed" and their exulta-
ton would be changed into shame and
sorrow, when they reflected that in dis
tsnt lands men were being shot down
by their own countrymep their sons and
brothers, for maintaining these very
principles. They would, also, see hat
many of the things for which the King
of England is declared tyrant,
are being done to the natives OF
other lands, by their own officials
without remonstrance from the great
body of the people of the country; that
the people thus treated have, like our
fathers, appealed to their justice and
magnanimity," and that they have
been deaf to the voices of justice" as
were their oppressors. 1t is said that
these things are necessary; that they
are the results of war entered into
from motives of Humanity; that "des
tiny" requires the government to take
no backward steps. These have been
the arguments of power and ambition
in sll ages, and they are no more true
now than they were when the Saxon
overwhelmed the Briton; when the
Norman overcame the Saxon; when
England seized upon Ireland, or when
she strove Intellectually to subiugste
our fathers and deprive US of the rights
of Englishmen. A just God reigus in
Heaven, and so surely as we forsake
our principles; those principles under
which He 'has made and preserved US
as a nation so surely will He punish
us if we allow our rulers to persevere
in the violation of those principles.
Let US then go back tomorrow to
6rst principles; let US resolve that JUS
tice shall be done to ali those who are
suffering from our inactiou; let us raise
our voices in protest against militarism
and imperialism, aud cast our votes,
when the time shall come for the princi-
pies of the Declaration of Independence
and fer those who will have the justice
and the moral courage to see that they
are carried out.

PoLITICAL.-A Richmond dispatch
to the Petersburg Appeal says: The race
between Messrs. John F. Ryan and E.
w. Saunders for the speakership of the
House OF Delegates, is going to be de-
cidedly interesting. Candidates are very
slow in committing themselves for fear
they will drop to the losing side. a
member naturally likes to support q
winning man for presiding officer. He
stands much better show of commit
Zee assignments, that are to his fancy.
1t will not be safe to predict what the
outcome of the speakership contest will
be until the democrats make most oil
their nominations. The talk OF Gov.
Tyler as possible candidate for the q
S. Senate has very little foundation. II
is true that five democrats in Charlotte
county have signed a call upon him to
run, but this will count for but little.
Governor Tyler would unquestionablv
like to 90 to the Senate but he IS not in
position to make an active canvass
for the place. Besides, be knows that
nothing short of an ineXcusabla blund-
er on MIR. Martins part can defeat MIN
of reelection. The governor at pres
ent is at his home near East Radford. 1t
is not likely that the headquarters Of
the senatorial reform league will be
opened again. Rooms we're rented until
November but they have been closed
up. The address which it was said would
he issued, has not been forthcoming.
Nothing more has been heard of it..
The fact is the movement has fallen
Just about as fat as possible.
A dispatch from Richmond says ::
Several members OF the legislature
here last night and other party leaders
concur in the belief that E. w. Saund-
ers will be the Speaker of the next
House of Delegates. Speaker Ryan
has not withdrawn, but his friends con.
cede he will te beaten. Merritt T.
Cooke, of Norfolk, is considered prob

On Easter Sunday, this yea, the
first installment of automobile cabs
was placed at the disposal of the Pa
risian public. AS soon as they issued
from the depot at Aubervilliers they
were most eagerly sought after. and
gave most satisfactory results. The
number of these vehicles is daily in
creased, and the Compagnie Generate
des Voitures expects. after a months
trial. to be in position to judge of
the convenience or drawbacks of the
present type of cabs. These vehicles
are provided with accumulators en-
abling them to travel from 60 to 800
kilometers (37 to 40 miles, without
recharsing the batteries.
The tariff varies according to the
number of persons. For one or two
passengers the ordinary cab fare is
applied, viz: 1.50 or francs per hour;
for three persons, 2 francs the jour-
ney, and four persons, $50 francs.
The eventual adoption of automo-
biles for general use in Paris, as we'll
as throughout France, seems to be
foregone conclusion; but there is no
doubt that the tremendous speed at
which private individuals with their
motor tricycles and other experimental
automobiles dash about the streets
has tendency to discourage the adop-
ton of automobiles by those who
would otherwise make purchases. By
daily observation in Paris, it is easy
to see that improvements are con-
stantly being made in doing away with
the Objectionable odors, excessive vi
bration and noise.
