HOW THE FOURTH CHANGES.

who can teach us something REGARDING
the public but non-partisan problems
which require the activity of citizens.
We look more closely into meetings
and celebrations of this kind-those
connected with the spread of education,
municipal matters, immigration, the
suffrage. affairs of church and state,
public order and public improvement
These are among the topics in which
today patriotism is particularized.
Our Declaration of Independence is
classic framed by the immortal faith
ers of this Republic which will stand
the test OF the ages.
1t is natural sequence of the Mag
ma Charta wrenched from King John
by his rebellious barons-a substantial
ton of the eternal progress of human
liberty which has been contested for
ages.
1t has become the accepted statement
of political truths which must at least
abolish kings altogether or else teach
them to identify their existence with
the general dignity and happiness of
human nature and IS so regarded by
all governing authorities.
Had the ruling spirit of England at
the time we broke away from them
not been so intolerant and the treat
ment of the Thirteen colonies under
George III. so unjust there would have
been no American Revolution
This was admitted ten years pre-
yious to its occurrence by the greatest
statesman England ever had, William
Pitt. who said publicly in the house
of commons, Il am glad that America
has resisted Three millions OF peo-
pie so dead TO all feeling of liberty as
voluntarily to submit TO be slaves
would have been fit instruments to
make slaves OF the rest.
Let's have a good jolly Fourth.

Sometimes the course of the market would vary distinctly three times with in an hour, traversing each time an average range of nearly point. Yet the whole list moved pretty much in unison, there being no apparent conflict in the tendency of the prominent active stocks.
 The opening dealings reflected dis tinct effort on the part of the bulls to hold the market. Copper was support ed in the opening dealings, but the weakness which quickly developed in this stock was shown in the whole mar ket, and so with it's subsequent changes. The stock fell by successive changes and very uncertainty to IS and recover ed with frequent reactions to SOFA, end- ing at 80. There was an entire lack Of news to account for the movements The weakness was in the face Of per- mission from court to the Boston and Montana to pay the dividend on that stock under bond. The withholding of these dividends will be officially offered as a cause for the reduction of the div idend on Amalgamated. The recovery in the stock was in spite of the sharp break in the price of raw copper in Lon don, following some recent speculative buying in that market.
 A striking feature of the check to the recent advancing tendency of the mar ket was the decided decrease i'll activ- ity. To-day's transactions were about half million shares less than those Of yesterday The unsettling influence or the apparent demoralization in Amal- gamated Copper was supplemented to a degree by a sharp recovery in foreign exchange, which awakened some renew ed questioning over the resources or the money market. The lessened sup ply of exchange is doubtless due to the completion of realizing on what might be called speculative purchases of eX- change which have been recently made, but reaction in sterling exchange in Paris and the rise in discount rates ana the price of gold in London indicated the possibility of resumption Of the conditions which caused the recent out flow of gold. Thursday of this week IS pay day in the London stock exchange settlement. On December 5 the final in stallment is due on the British loan subscription. During December a. heavy outflow of cash is expected from the Bank of England to the country and the British government disbursements just at present have fallen very light. It is very obvious that the Bank Of England, with a view to these future requirements, is taking measures to sustain the value of money in London with a view to guard that market against pressure from the continent. The development of such a pressure, therefore, would be diverted inevitably upon New York, as was the case re- gently.
 An advance of seven points in Gen. eral Electric, the strength of Sugar and Manhattan and the heaviness of Balti- more and Ohio and St. Louis and San Francisco were notable.
 Railroad bonds were irregular. The total sales, par value, aggregated $3'- 725, ,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on the last call.

 Inspector Charles Reynolds, Of the Soldiers Home at Noroton, was at his old home in Forestville for vislt thls week. He states that at this time the home has five hundred and th1rty-tWo names on the roll which is the full ca pacity of the home and that there are from twenty to thirty on the waiting list. There are men in the home rang ing all the way from fifty-nine to nine ty- six years of age. The average age of the old soldiers is between sixty four and sixty-f1ve years, and the au- thorities figure that there will be an in crease in the number of those that will be seeking aid for the next five years, and that the number will commence to decrease at that time and that they will drop off very fast.
