Declaration of independence
seeaeese oooeeeeoe OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES


For suspending our own legislatures,
and declaring themselves invested
with power to legislate for US in all
cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated government here,
declaring US out of his protection,
and waging war against us.
He has plundered our seas. rayaged
our coasts, burnt our towns, and de-
stroyed the lives of our people
He is at this time transporting
large armies of foreign mercenaries TO
complete the work Of death, deSola-
tion and tyranny, already begun, with
circumstances of cruelty and perfidy
scarcely paralleled in the most bar
barous ages, and totally unworthy the
head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow citi-
zenS, taken captive on the high seas,
to bear arms against their country, to
become the executioners of their
friends and brethren, or to fall them
selves by their hands.
He has excited domestic insured
tions amongst US, and has endeavored
to bring on the inhabitants of our
| frontiers the mercileSS Indian saYag-
eS, whose known rule Of warfare is an
undistinguiShed destruction of all
ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these expressions
we have petitioned for redress, in the
most humble terms; our repeated pc
titions have been answered only by
repeated injury. A prince, whose
character is thus marked by every act
which may define tyrant, is unfit to
be the ruler of free people.
Nor have we been wanting in atten-
tlon to our British brethren. We
have warned them from time to time,
of attempts made by their legislature
to extend an unwarrantable jurisdic-
| tion over us. We have reminded
them of the circumstances of our emf
grafton and settlement here. We
have appealed to their native justice
and magnanimity and we have con-
jured them, by the ties of our COM
mon kindred to disavoW these uSurpa-
tions, which would inevitably inter-
rupt our connections and correspond
ence. They, too, have been deaf to
the voice of justice and conSanguinity.
We must, therefore, acquieSce in the
necessity which demands our separa-
tion, and hold them as we hold the
rest of mankind, enemies in war, in
peace, friends.
We, therefore, the representatives
of the UNITED STATES OF AMER
ICA, in GENERAL CONGRESS as
sembled, appealing to the Supreme
Judge of the World for the rectitude
lof our intentions, do, in the name,
and by the authority of the good peo-
pie of these colonies, SOlemnly publish
and declare: That these United Col
onies are; and of right ought to be
RE AND INDEP EDEN 7
Estates; that they are absOlved from
all allegiance to the British crown,
and that political connections be-
tween them and the State of Great
Britain is, and ought to be totally
dissolved, and that, as FREE AND
INDEPENDENT STATES, TIL Re y
have full power to levy war, conclude
peace, contract alliances, establish
commerce, and do all other acts and
things INDEPENDENT STATES
may of right do. And, for the sup
port of this declaration, and in firm
reliance upon the protection of Divine
Providence, we mutually pledge tc
each other our lives, our fortunes, and
our sacred honor.

The pesky war revenue stamp is a
thing of the past. The peace proto-

repeal of the tax law went into effect.

publication. or in other words. COM
pleted three months or one-fourth
year of its existence since the change
was made from a weekly six-cOlumn
quarto to a semi-weekly Seyen-column
folio. This ought to be sufficient time
to determine the success Or failure of
the enterprise, and serve to show
whether or not there is demand for
such a paper.
The columns of the HERALD during
the past three months will speak for
themselves as to our advertising pa
tronage. For the greater part of the
time we have had all we could COM
-fortably handle, and some of the time
we have been compelled to set the
entire paper solid to get room for the
advertisements offered US. AS to cir
culation we are well pleased with the
increase. The opportunity to get a
first class local news service twice a
week has been the incentive to add
many names to our list in the city
while our very fine teIegra phic and
state news has also helped to swell
our list of country subscribers. We
feel sure from these and other indica-
tions, that there is a strong demand
for a twice-a-week paper, and we shall
labor to supply that demand in the
future as we have during the past
three months by furnishing our read
ORC n 10 nd hos In
the county. We reprinted some of the
complimentary things the newspaper
boys said Of our enterprise when the
change was made to a Semi-weekly,
but we reserved some of the less IA
vorable comments until time should
decide as to the success of the under
taking. We now reprint them and
ask the boys what they think of it
now, judging from the columns of the
HERALD:

The PhillipSburg HERALD is trying

INDIANS OF NEW MEXICO
CONCERNING THEIR
HABITS AND CONNECTIONS.
Prof. Fewkes Reports Result of His
ObservatiOns-Tracin the

Prof Walter Fewkes of the bureau OF
entomology returned recently from New
Mexico, where for the past several months
he has been engaged in carrying on in
vestigations among the Indians of that
region in behalf Of the institution men,
toned. Speaking Of his seasons work DR..
Fewkes said:
zone Of the main objects Of my visit to
the southwest was to trace the connection
Of the Pueblo Indians, on the north, with
those of Mexico and the south, in the

in central New Mexico, and on the
Rio Grande river, which was formerly
the center Of the great tribe Of Piros, the
members Of which are now all extinct,
save small colony, four miles from Ell
Paso, Texas, called Seneca, and which is
named after an old pueblo, once famous
seat of the Pros north Of Ell Paso.

"One mile northwest of Magdalena
found a very large pueblo, accommodating
500 people, perhaps four stories high, with
two circular viras, the equivalent Of the

GEN. ALBAN DEFEATED
Continued from First Page.)

American republics, has decided to return
to Washington at once. A dispatch just re-
ceived at the Colombian legation says he
left Mexico City yesterday morning Some
significance is attached to his leaving the
congress while it is still in session, and it
is assumed that the rather critical condi-
ton Of affairs on the Isthmus of Panama
leads the Colombian government to desire
his services at Washington.
The return of Minister Silva to Washing
ton may bring here Gen. Reyes, who has
been urged to assume the presidency of
Colombia and thus terminate the contro-
versy now existing over the presidency
Cen Reyes is also delegate at Mexico

PHOTOGRAPHIC REFORM,
Progress of the SimpIiRcatiOn {
English Spelling.

Progress of the SimpIifcation of
English Spelling.
From the Literary Digest.
Probably the most important acton taken
in the United States in regard to orthog-
raphy was that Of the National Education
al Association when 1t formally adopted
for use in all its official publications a SIM
plifled spelling for these twelve words
program, tho altho, thoro, thorofare thru,
thruout, catalog, prolog, decalog, demagog,
pedagog. From this, and from the sub
sequent employment Of these forms in var
ious periodicals edited by members Of the
association, Prof. Brander Matthews argues
that not remote future will see a de-
cided change in photographic standards.
He says of the simplifed spellings men
toned:
''They are very likely to appear with
increasing frequency in the school books
that members of the NJ E. A. may here
after prepare; and any simplified spelling
that once gets itself into school book Is
After an interval of ten or fifteen years, the
National Educational Association will be
in position to consider the tuation again;
and it may then decide that these twelve
words have established themselves in their
new form sufficiently widely aid firmly to
make it probable that the association could
put forward another list of a ydozen more
simplifed spellings with reasonable GER
tainty that they would also be accepted
And thus the good work would 60 on
gaining little in every decade"
Prof Matthews says, however, that there
are good many peoplein the United States
who hold to the Ignorant belief that a
word gains dignity by needlessly increas-
Ing the number Of It's letters" In nlustra-
ton he makes reference to the invitations
issued to the opening exercises of the Pan
American exhibition at Buffalo. as fol-
more than one newspaper commented
on the fact that the commission requested
the honour Of their guests company
whereas 1t is the almost universal usage Of
Americans to spell this word without the
u; and the newspaper writers asked what
might be the reason for this strange af-
fectation on the part Of the Buffalo gen.
tlemen. This affectation, indeed, seemed
doubly strange onlthe part Of the managers
of an American exhibition, since honour
is recognized at once as an photographic
criticism. Probably the commission had
more important matters to consider than
any question of spelling, and the anach-
ronism-for such the insertion Of the u in
words ending in "or" cannot but seem to us
who dwell on the western shore Of the At
lantic-was due to the snobbishness of the
engravers of the invitation"
