THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.

Next Wednesday, July 18th, should
be day long to be remembered by
the patriotic people of Hartford coun'
ty. The dual celebration of two
declarations; one by the people OF
Hartford and the other by the repre-
sentatives of the original colonies In
Philadelphia, is one most proper and
fitting. While it is not claimed that
sour own forefathers made as sweep
ing assertions as that contained in the
document from the pen of Jefferson,
yet, we must remember that one &C.
Cured many months before the other,
and when these thirty-four signed a
solemn compact, pledging their lives
and fortunes, they had committed an
act of treason against the mother
country, punishable by death and
forfeiture of property. Wien we
look at this, and the circumstances
leading up to the final act, how can
we but admire the brave stand made
by this little band. Some may say
that they did this only in a represent.
alive character, as members of the
Committee of Hartford county. This
is undoubtedly true in part, but a
careful reading will show that they
also assumed individual responsible.
ty and after the resolution was adopt
ed it was attested by every mans
signature.
the fact, that many of the signers
were, what would be termed in those
days, wealthy men, on whom were
dependant families, whose blood to-
day flows in the veins of many of our
foremost citizens, and that the county
was thickly populated with spies, or
Tories, as they were called then, we
can realize that it was indeed brave
and patriotic act.
If one of the Northern States pos
sessed such a rare document as is our
peoples heritage, the event would
long ago have been celebrated by i'm.
posing granite shafts and patriotic
songs, and we venture to say that
many of our sister States would have
had March go, legal holiday. 1t is
not claimed that the Hartford Declare,
ton supplants t he Declaration of In,
dependence. Far from it. But it was
one Of the early patriotic acts which
led up to the final elimination in
Philadelphia.
We, the citizens of Hartford county
should next Wednesday by our pres.
ence at Hartford Town show that we
honor the act of our brave ancestors.
1t is our duty and should be regarded
our highest privilege to be present on
that day and join in the celebration.
Let our patriotism manifest itself In
tangible form, SO that we can hereafter
look back with pride to the initial
celebration at our ancient county seat.
There may be other places, that those
on pleasure bent, might seek recrea-
tion but this should only be of
secondary consideration. Remember
had 1t not been for such men as these
whose memory we commemorate, there
would have been no fourth of July.

ITS CLAIMS ON THE PEOPLE.

If the Hanna ticket nominated at
Philadelphia last week has any claims
upon the suffrages of the American
people, it must be because the Hanna
party during its four years of power
has succeeded in making this Republic
appear for the first time inimieal to
Republican government in the United
States and elsewhere. Never until
William Mckinley entered the White
House had American sympathy been
asked i'm vain for struggling democ
racy in other continents than ours.
Never until Mark Hanna called bis
conyention at Philadelphia was the
American people asked to approve
such perfidy to our traditions by re-
electing it's author to the Presidency.
We have reached the parting of the
ways. II Hanna and Mckinley deserve
approval and reelection, then the
founders of the Republic were wrong
in adopting the Declaration of indie
pendence and the Congress at Phiia-
delphia should have repudiated Wash
ington, Jefferson, Hamilton and their
associates, resoil ing that, whereas,
empire is a better form OF government
thandemocracy,t the American colonies
are and perpetually ought to be sub
ject to the British crown"
Such is the gist and substance of the
Philadelphia platform of 1900. thinly
yelled by the transparent professions
of Republicanism embodied in the
Hanna platform. Having by their
acts expressly repudiated Republican
principles and denied the sympathy of
this Republic to weak and struggling
republics in other chimes, the Hanna
crowd now asks the approval Of the
American voter for their acts.
They will not get it. Their claims
are not valid.

AEELIC OF B4RBiRIsM.

The custom of the purchase Of com
missions in the army and navy, pri-
Watering, the reckless loot Of captured
towns, and other half savage customs
of medievalism, have been abolished,
from army and navy ofmoGern times;
yet one. the hestowal of bounty re-
mains. Rear-Admirai Sampson has
Just been awarded 1876 and Rear
Admiral Schley 1000, for their share
in the victory over the Spanish fleet
at Santiago; and Admiral Dewey's
bank account was swollen in Il SINH
lar manner for his work at Manila.
Why? Is the work Of a naval officer
in time Of war private business
speculation, or is this officer IL hiyed
agent of the country? He receives
education and his salary throughout
his professional career, from his
country, to do whatever work is re-
quired of him in his own line. Why
should he receive additional pay to do
his duty? Bounty money simply
makes his regular salary a retaining
| fee, q subsidy: it makes a naval ell
gagemeut private buccaneering adj
| venture An officer, under this abb
surd system, does not &C into q naval
| battle as an army officer goes into
battle, as Il member Of the judiciary
undertakes his work or as any Govern
meut official performs his. He Is
merely Government private, held in
check, under full pay, till the oppor-
| tuuity comes. Then with ships be-
longing to the Government, with
education and experience given him,
he is allowed to fling himself at the
enemy with the incentive of private
| gain to make him do what is already
his distinct and exclusive duty. Why
should not army officers receive 8 per-
centage of the loot of conquered terri
tory, prosecuting attorneys win a per-
centage of every claim they win for
| Government and the analogy is too
absurd to continue. Bounty money
to officers in the modern navy of
civilized America is a monstrous alb
surdity an anachronism and relic of
| the past.-NeaO York Home Journal.

AS these statistics were compiled

They point clearly to. the conclusion
that falling prices tend to cause slack
employment, with great loss in aggre

confirmed by some half dozen other

be OF great value in the coming cam

Something of the Importance of the

in the fact that Professor Mayo,.Smitt

STANDARD OIL DEGENER4CT

Williams College, of Williamson,
Mass, has certainly not received any
of the beneficent dispensations OF
Providence from ohm ID. Rockefeller,
known as honest dollars" This is
to be inferred from the remarks of DR..
Bascus, who thus alludes to the Stan
dard Oil gang:
81 suppose that in the last thirty
years the Standard Oil Company has
done more mischief in this country
than all the thieves. pickpockets and
burglars. They have wrongfully
transferred more money than all these.
The opinion of the American people
has been altered by the doings of this
company, which has thoroughly de-
bauched us. l think Rockefeller is
worse than thief. That word does
not fit him. That he is a good Baptist
brother is the damnation of it all.
And we allow such n man to endow a
theological university. This man
has stripped family after family and
man after man of his iivelihoodm
