THE TONE OF TIE CELEBRATION.

There Is a general consensus of opinion that
It was a particularly glorious" Fourth of July.
The weather, at least hereabouts, was fine.
The decorations and fireworks We're more elabo-
rate than usual. The people felt in good spirits
over the general advance Of prosperity which
Is felt throughout the land. The various cele-
brations were more numerous and more numer-
ously attended than hitherto. There was also
the knowledge that the day was being observed
in lands where ii had never been observed be-
fore, and that the day itself meant more than
II ever did before. And this last fact suggests
what was at least one OF the most noteworthy
features Of the day
Practically all the authoritative speakers, of
whatever party, recognized, and the overwhem-
ing mass of the people likewise recognized. that
the traditional spirit Of the day was in entire
harmony with the new conditions In which the
day was celebrated. We suppose there are still
a few more noisy than consequential. who still
maintain, and will TO the end of their lives
maintain that in last years process of terri
torlal expansion the principles of the Declara-
ton and Of the Constitution and Of the Fathers
of the Republic were violated, and that the
Nation was led off into new and strange ways.
II is said there are still men who keep on
voting for Andrew Jackson at every Pres-
dental election. and certainly there is at least
one who insists that ode sun do move" But
Americans who think. and who have read the
history of their country, and who are free from
personal spite and factional rancor, see clear
