THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.

Tomorrow is the glorious Fourth
again, and the small boy will burn
powder and revel in the amount Of
noise he can make, and be thoroughly
happy even if there is not so much of
him when he goes to bed as when he
arose. The small boy is nothing if not
patriotic, when that patriotism can be
demonstrated by noise. He considers
that the Fourth of July is made es
pecially for noise, for it is the one day
of the year when he has unrestricted
limit in the amount he can make, and
proceeds to put in the full amount get
ting at it early and keeping at it late.
And after all what would the Fourth Of
July be if it were devoid of the small
boy and noise. 1t would not be dis
tinguishable from many a quiet Sun
day. and patriotism would simply SIM
mer, where now it boils at white heat.
The small boy may make himself a
nuisance by attempting to spread the
glories of the day out over three or
four. by getting little previous and
hanging on little late, out on that one
day he is all right, a simon-pure,
genuine American, who in the years to
come can safely be trusted with the
cares of this great nation. And by the
way, we might mention that we have
noticed that where a number of the
small boys congregate with plenty of
the article for noise, there most always
manages to get mixed up in some un-
accountable way, several larger boys,
upon some of whom the SHOWS of time

1t is said some fears are entertained
that the bubonic plague may be brought
to this country by the returning volun-
teers Of course there is always danger
with an epidemic of that kind, but if
the most strict precautions are taken,
and the vessels kept properly fumiga-
ted, it would seem that the danger
could be kept at the minimum. Of
course it will give our friends, the anti
expansionists a chance to indulge in
some more cold shivers. But as for the
chances of the plague coming here,
while it may be little greater with
our operations in the Philippines, yet
the precautions taken to prevent it, are
likely to be so much more strict than
would otherwise be the case, that the
chances are probably not much greater
than they would be through the ordi-
nary trade relations with the far east.

years, and it is often hard to tell which

have left plainly their mark of passing
years, and it is often hard to tell which
is the genuine boy.
1t is unquestionably good thing
that we have a Fourth of July obser-
vance. There are some who think the
burning of so much powder is a sheer
waste of money, but it burns indelibly
into the minds of the great majority Of
the youth of the land the great princi-
Piles for which the nation stands, while
it serves to recall to the mind of the
older folks some of the obligations and
is therefore good thing. Progress
along certain lines we ought to make,
may not be. as rapid as it should, but it
proceeds nevertheless. Prof. Heron
and men of his ilk may rave:that we are
no longer governed by the constitution,
and that military dictatorship exists
but we know that is but the frothing
which often takes place in the whirling
of the stream. The genuine outburst
of patriotism which has taken place
during the past fourteen months shows
that the heart of the people is as close
to the grand principles which built up
the republic, as in the day when our
'reformers" say mems heads were not
so easily turned by gold.
We have heard it said that general
interest in the days seems sto have
waned because many proposed celebra-
lions on an extensive scale have been
dropped, but we have noticed that in
many of these instances, these failures
have resolved themselves into several
small picnic parties, which in the end
are just as patriotic, and may prove far
more satisfactory to the participants,
for the lessons of the day are likely to
be as deeply impressed upon the parti-
cipants as though the more ardous
labor of great celebration were under
taken. The century and a tquarter of
the nations existence has shown it to
be equal to every emergency that has
arisen, and the events of the past year
or so indicate that it is possessed of as
pure patriotism as ever, and abundant
ly able to face the many problems
which confront it,

NOT SERIOUS.

E-R.-I WAR VESSEL TO BE DAMAGED OFF THE

As soon as portion OF the cruiser Brooklyns
supply of coal stores and ammunition be re-
moved she will be foated into Drydock No. g. from
which rhe was hoated Thursday OF last week.
According TO the reports her injuries are not seri-
GUS out their full extent cannot be determined until
the cater in the dock is pumped out and the dam
aged plates exposed 10 inspection The ship went to
the yard on the food tide yesterday afternoon. and
is leaking slightly. Her officers will not discuss the
cc'dent and Captain JEWELS dispatch to the De-
par:ment in Washington is based on tho results
seen on an examination OF the interior of the ship
His dispatch follows:
New-York. May 30.
In rounding the Battery this ship touched bottom
Damage does not appear severe, but suHlclehty
serious to require examination at the Navy Yard.
Some frames bent and rivets leaking VIII return
to the Navy Yard unless otherwise ordered
The fact that the Brooklyn touched at about the
same place where the Massachusetts, struck on De-
cember 10 last year revived the talk at the Navy
Department about the existence OF an uncharted
wreck somewhere thereabouts Should such
wreck be discovered II would OF course, relieve the
officers OF tho Brooklyn of blame, but It was noticed
in Washington that Captain Jewell remarks that
his ship touched the bottom and mentions no sunken
obstruction as ne probably would have done had ne
known of such a thing.
The accident to the Brooklyn appears to be In
Massachusetts,, and it held then that the
batte-shp had found the same obstruction pre-
viously located by the cruisers Marblehead and
Montgomery, the idea that sunken barge Is some
where in the waters off the Battery and is subject
in some slight degree the action Of the tides. re-
ceives additional confirmation in the minds or
naval officers by the latest accidents.
Captain Ludlow, of the Massachusetts,, insisted
that pieces OF timber came to the surface after ms
shlp struck, and pieces were found where plates
had been started after the ship was drydocked II
was said yesterday afternoon that the Army en-
gineers In charge OF the harbor improvements say
that the channels clear and that the officers
OF the Brooklyn to blame for the accident
This. however, is rather wide charge, for Il was
poip Ted yesterday by yard of1cla that IL lays
the commanders Of four vessels open 70 blame II II
holds good in the present case. When II was
asked how Il that merchant vessels round
the obstruction tho answer was made that nearly
Ali the merchant steamers OF deep draught go up
the North River, those using the East River not
taking course which would lead them around the
Battery. , ,,. Ill, -
II IL expected that court OF inquiry will be
ordered TO examine tho as soon as the details
Of the damage are reported by Naval Constructor
