There is one holiday in the year to
which a deeper significance attaches for
the colored race than all others. 1t is
Emancipation Day, The anniversary of
the PRONUNCIATION by Abraham Lincoln
of the message which freed several mil
lions of them from the shackles OF
slavery. That day was fittingly OBJ
served here yesterday, by the colored
people of Wheeling and vicinity. Many
strangers came into the city, and the
celebration was success in every
sense Of the word.
The first feature of the days celebra-
ton was the street parade, which
started at 1920 o'clock. 1t was headed
by the chief marshal and staff and
platoon of police. Then came Meister's
band, the colcred Knights of Pythias,
the boys of Lincoln public school, and
a procession of carriages and vehicles.
Some of the conveyances were decor
ated with flags and pictures of Lincoln.
A prominent feature was float occu-
pied by girls dressed in white, repre-
senting the States of the Union and
surrounding the Goddess of Liberty.
Lincoln public school was dismissed
for the day, and the pupils augmented
the crowd which assembled on the
fair grounds, to participate in the out
ing during the afternoon. There were
bicycle races, a base ball game, and
other sports. Last night banquet and
ball was given in Turner Hall.
At the fair grounds in the afternoon
the principal address of the day was
made by j. E. Holmes, bright colored
attorney of Pittsburg. He stated in his
opening remarks that the proclamation
which freed the negro Of the South, also
freed the white man of the North, as it
removed the competition with slave
labor. He regretted that the day is not
more generally celebrated. He said it
is customary to give all credit to Abra-
ham Lincoln, but he said that if the re-
bellion could have been suppressed and
the Union preserved without freeing the
slaves, Lincoln would not have done so.
He frequently sail so. He quoted the
following passage from letter written
by Lincoln to Horace Greeley:
MY paramount object is to save the
Union, and not either to save or destroy
slavery If l could save the Union
without freeing any slave, | would do
it; if l could save it by freeing all the
slaves, would do it; and if l could Go
it by freeing some and leaving others
alone. | would also do that. What l
do about slavery and the colored race
[ do because l believe it helps to save
this Union and what l forbear, | for
bear because l do not believe it would
help to save the Union
The speaker related the fact that
Major General John c. Fremont, COM
manding the Department of the Mis-
souri,, issued an order in August, 1851,
freeing the sla as in his department,
and the President peremptorily ordered
him to modify the order.
Mr.. Holmes gave detailed account
of subsequent proceedings by the Presi-
dent, of legislation for the black man,
and then dwelt at length upon what
the negro has accomplished since secur-
ing his freedom.

NEW YORK, September 22.-Oscar
Gardner, the Omaha Kid, did not fight
up to his usual standard when he met
Jack Hamilton, of Troy, at the Broad
way Athletic Club tonight Hamilton
won in a decisive manner and the
referee gave him the bout at the end of
the twenty-ffth round. Gardner was
2 to / fayorite at the start, but his
Chance to win became less and less as
the fight proceeded. Hamilton was
careful and aggressive from the sound
of the gong. Gardner, on the other
hand, was careless and left many open
ings which Hamilton was quick to
take advantage of.
Gardner was hoored in the fourth
round with q swing on the jaw and he
was forced to the ropes in the seventh.
Hamilton put him over the ropes sew
eral times after that.
Gardner began fighting hard in the
fourteenth, sending right to the body
and bringing it up to the head. 1t was
give and take right to the end, but
Gardner was bleeding badly in the
twenty second. Gardner rushed at
Hamilton in the final round, landing a
right and left on the head. Hamilton
staggered, but pulled himself together
and went back with swing on the jaw
which put Gardner down. Gardner was
on his feet and fighting fercely when
the bell rang.
"Chip" Morrison, of Cincinnati, whip
ped Jack Dwyer, of Boston, in the pre-
iiminary bout, which did not last quite
eight rounds. In the sixth and seventh
rounds Morrison punished his adyeT-
sary in such a degree that the specta-
tors shouted for the referee to stop the
bout and he stopped tie bout in the
next round.

The present trouble at Bluefelds,
Nicaragua, bears a strong resemblance
to a farce-comedy in a more serious
dramatic setting. When the American
merchants paid their duties to the
usurping revolutionist there was no
other government in Bluefields, and
the contention of the merchants, that
a government that could not afford
them protection in their rights cannot
expect to collect duties already paid
to a de facto government, would seem
to be founded upon justice and COM
mon sense. But the most amusing
feature of it all is the fact that Presl-
dent Zelaya neglected to depose from
office the collector of customs who
transferred his allegiance to the rebels,
and consequently the duties were paid
to his appointee, although they were
used to strengthen and support his
enemy This is another strong argu-
ment against paying the money a Sec
ond time.
