added in the old days by the tar barrels
of our fathers? Happily the tar barrel
has not gone out of fashion. The small
hoy delights in the blaze that rises from
it. and as the small boy is usually lord
of the Fourth, the r~esinous barrel will
doubtless continue to feed flames for
some years to come.
To hypercritical and u~ltrasensitive
souls our method of celebrating the great
est of American holidays seems awfully
barbaric and it is quite true that noise
is the predominant feature of the days
celebration. Noise. however. is also the
predominant feature of battles, and.
though they. too, are in Il sense
awfully barbaric, the world does
not yet seem to have arrived
mt a state of civilization which will rem
der it safe for the nations to turn their
swords into plowshares. And, after all,
a thing may be barbaric and vet quite
useful. Sicsly things. whether nations or
children. seldom make much noise, and
whatever noise they do make is generally
of the whining order. 1t is the healthy
children and the healthy nations which
make the most noise in the world, and
they. too, usually fare best in life.
This apparent apotheosis of noise may
rouse the ire of persons afflicted with in
somnia, who invariably look forward

be racked with the Naturalization of

deserving of sympathy, but they ought to

suitable manner of manifesting its pat

served tne tOufCn
of July. IL this wish had been granted,
it is safe to say that the worthy gentle
man who expressed it would have been
exceedingly surprised. During the CEN
tury's sleep. says the st. Louis Rcpub-
lie, America had advanced from IL state
of tutelage into n vigorous state OF indie
pendence. and the joy OF her people at
finding their forefathcrs' dream of liberty
fully realized was never more character
istically shown than on the day that
marked the centennial celebration of the
country's greatest holiday. Verify, the
visitor from the land of shades would
have been amazed ut the sights and
sounds of that splendid anniversary. In
a word, he would have found himself in
an entirely new world.
How amazed this worthy eighteenth
century patriot would be if he could only
shake off his shroud and take n look at
his Fatherland during the Fourth of
July. He would then see how great are
the strides which the country has taken
since that evcr-memorable day, when he
bravely signed his name to the most i'm
portant document that was ever formu-
lated in America, and it would not take
him long to realize the fact that the Unit
ed States have grown greatly in many
directions since their people celebrated
the centennial anniversary of the Fourth
of July. Indeed, there are many thou
sands of Americans who would tell him
that the country has cause to rejoice on
this Fourth of July.
Great Achievements.
is it necessary to enumerate the many
reasons for national rcjoicings. DO we
not all remember how American scamen
gave the death blow to Spain's colonial
power on that memorable day before the
Fourth of July, 1S9S-on the day when
the gallant hut lucklcss Admiral Cervera
steamed out of Santiago Bay right into
the arms of a v~igilant foe, with the result
that he was captured and his entire
squad.on was practically annihilated?
Can we forget the story of Ell Caney. the
charge of the Rough Riders up San Juan

NEW YORK, November Z. - Ex-Gov
Stone of Missouri had his statement made
out early today. in which he reviewed the
election Of yesterday. 1t is as follows:
THE battle Is over. The democratic party
of the country accept the result without
complaining, as in duty bound. 1t signifies
but little now to anaIyze the influences or
to discuss the causes that brought about
the result.
''There will be a wide divergence of opin-
ion as to that. This l will say. however,
that the democratic party must stand and
Will stand. .undlsmayed, in defense Of the
Constitution and for the preservation I'M
Impaired of our institutions. A colonial
policy would be destructive of the repub-
lic and we should resist every effort to
establish it. l have always favored the
annexation, in proper way, Of the islands
adjacent to our coast, but have opposed the
annexation of large domain in the east
ern hemisphere for reasons fully stated
during the campaign.
Must Stand Firm.
1.-THE democratic party must stand firm
in the defense of the Constitution, while at
the same time it should take an advanced
and progressive position looking to the de-
velopment and protection of our maritime
and commercial interests The Missouri
democratic platform of 1898 expressed my
views on the political questions of the day.
Those questions are for future discussion,
however. All 1 say now is. what l have
said many times before. that the-demo-
cratic party must be affirmative and pro-
gressive as well as aggressive.
Mr. Bryan made a great fight. He is one
of the most remarkable men of history. He
may never be President, but. whether in
politics or private lffe, no man in America
will hold a more commanding place, and
none will be capabfe Of exerting n greater
influence for the public good. May God
bless him." 81
Some Republican Claims.

and Treasurer Cornelius N. Bliss, at repub-

SURE OF 2S4.
McKinIey's Huge Lead inthe Electoral
College.

Mr.. Mckinley is sure of more
votes in the electoral college than
he received four years ago, when he
had 271 votes. This afternoon
he is sure OF getting this year 2S4
electoral votes. MIR. Bryan is sure OF
13o, leaving ~ votes still in doubt.
The doubtful states are Idaho, 3;
Kentucky, I3; Nebraska, 8. The
chances favor republican success in
Nebraska, making McKinleys vote
2o2. The democrats seem to have
the best chance, in Kentucky, and MIR.
Bryan's vote will likely be I52, still
leaving 3 votes in doubt.
e The practically certain things this
afternoon are as follows.

Majority.
OMAHA, Neb.. November Result in
Nebraska is close. The democrats claim
that Bryan carried the state by 5000 to
1000 Republican Chairman Lindsey claims
the state for Mckinley by 5000. Many pre-
cincts in outlying sections have not yet
been heard from.
As the democratic state ticket Is running
ahead of Bryan 1t is probable that 1t will be
successful. The legislature Is thought to
be in doubt.
About 525 precincts out of 1.611 have
been heard from and these show substan-
tial republican gains. The republicans
claim they will give Mckinley majority.
and the democrats are equally sure of the
result. The changes. however. have been
so diversif1ed that 1t Is well nigh impossi-
BILE to make an estimate.
With a corresponding result in unreport-
