THE old Democratic gang which
brought such disgrace and disaster on
the Democratic party in former years
seems to have fixed itself like hun
CRY leech again upon the party. A
repetition of the same disgraceful be-
havior is being given. 1t is all done,
however, in the name of Democracy.
1t is indeed an insane party that will
submit to having it's name dragged in
the dust of degradation by such men
for such purposes.

THEDAY INNHISTORY
SOME NOTABLE EVENTS OF THE
FOURTH OF JULY.

WashingtOn's First Battle-The Brit
ish Flag Lowered to the French.
Death of Three Presidential Brief
Note From the Record of Congress.
1t was a curious stroke of fortune
that led to the humiliation of the Brit
ish arms on July 4, 1854, with Colonel
George Washington in command of the
i'll starred expedition. Although a boy
in years, Washington had discovered
and reported to the governor of the col
ony of Virginia the plans and prepare
tons of the French for the seizure
of strategic positions south of the
lakes. He helped to raise troops to
check the French and, through the
death of the colonel appointed to lead
them, arose to the chief commsd.
Meanwhile the British post on the site
of Pittsburg had fallen into the hands
of the French, and the young colonial
loyalist set out with $50 men to retake
it. Failing to unite with a force ap-
pointed to meet his on the Monongahe-
Ia, he built an intrenchment and called
it Fort Necessity. This was threaten

NOTES ON THE DECLARATION.

Some, at least, if not all, of the pa
triots who took part in the work of
congress in 1IT6 and knew that they
were making history expected that Ju-
ly 2, and not July 4, would be recog-
nized as the birthday of American lib
erty. The Virginia delegates entered
congress under instructions to propose
a declaration of the independence of
the colonies, and in June Thomas JEFF
ferson was appointed by congress chair
man of a committee to draft a declara-
ton. The spirit of this declaration was,
however, anticipated by Richard Hen
ry Lees famous resolution.
1t was July 9. 1776, that the Lee res
olution was passed that the united
colonies We're, and of right ought to be,
free and Independent states. On July
4, after two days debate, the Declara-
ton of Independence was read and
agreed to, but not signed. On the fol
lowing day copies were sent out
through all the colonies. On the 10Th
of July it was resolved that the Decla-
ration passed on the 4th be fairly en-
crossed on parchment and signed by
every member. On the I'd of August
the Declaration was signed by the ma
jority. But not until the 4th of Sep
TENDER of the same year did the Hon.
Matthew Thornton sign it. There were
number of others who did not affix
their signatures until 1871, among them
the Hon. Thomas Mexican.
Although the popular belief that the
Declaration was signed on July is up
held explicitly by John Adams, Thorn
as Jefferson and the printed journal of
the Continental congress, yet no candid
inquirer who examines the evidence to
disprove the date can doubt that Adj
ans and Jefferson, though both present
at the session, and the printed journal,
though it bears the authenticity of the
official sanction, were grievously at
fault.

talking. "As 1 remember it, the throw
in overheard of the tea in Boston har-
Dor started the fuss. Wasn't that the
proper thing fur us to do"
Thrown overheard of tea?" asked
the mayor in establishment. "Ye don't
mean to go and contend that it was tea
they throwed overheard"
They one and all assured him that
such was the case, and they went to
history to prove it. After a long ST.
ience and some deep thinking on the
part of the mayor he suddenly ex-
claimed:
"Why, of course it was tea-of course
it was-and that burned book agent
was stringin me all the time. The
blamed coyote told me it was whisky,
and S-y'ar-old stuff at that, that our
forefathers throwed overheard, and l
iiggered that If they was SIGH fools as
that we hadn't orter to do any shoutin
fur 'em. Whoop! Everybody give three
cheers fur George Washington and
then foller me over to the Dewey sa-
loon, and if l kin find critter that
amt a-hollerin on the Fourth I'll clap
him in Jail or run him out of Red Dog"
