Surely. after Yesterdays demonstrations,
we may all take fresh courage All can
not be lost, or even be seriously impaired
when in so many quarters there are found
those TO pay tribute to the institutions OF
America II We rad sacrificed our birth
right upon the altar of greed and com
mercialism there would be nobody SO poor
as to do US reverence. There must be
something left of the splendid fabric be-
queathed by the fathers that inspires the
respect paid to the stars and stripes. The
world at large does not accept it as "a
Haunting lie" and We do not treat it as
such here at home.
To particulariza: WI Ting-fang at Phila-
delphia spoke we'll and doubtless sincerely.
concerning the strength and benehcence of
our government. At a banquet in Lon
don. attended by many Englishmen of dis
tinction. the health OF President Mckinley
vas proposed in terms of the greatest good
will toward America by an eminent church
man. In Cuba-that country so shameless
ly deceived by us,-the people Joined with
enthusiasm in celebrating the day. In
Porto Rico the anniversary was selected
for the enactment of a law removing all
barriers of trade between the island and
the United States. The people eager
ali privileges u1lOer the stars anu
stripes At Manila there were demonstra-
nons of joy at the inauguration of the
government leading up to home rule on the
American plan.
At home here the returns show that the
day everywhere was observed with full
appreciation Of It's inspiring significance.
The flag was in evidence the Declaration
of Independence was read. the people, un-
usually prosperous. applauded every patri-
Otic sentiment uttered, and unless every
body was playing the humbug everybody
was reasonably happy.
Everybody, that is. not predisposed to
gloom. or so constituted as to be con-
stantly in state of opposition. A few
people of this kind did hold alOof and is
sued an address setting forth the condition
of things from their viewpoint and plead
ing for return to better things. But the
surdity of its terms. and the signatures
show a few politicians turned out to grass
and a few individuals who depend upon
card-wrtttng for the newspapers to satisfy
their cravings for n little notoriety.
The world is moving forward. and the
United States Is leading the world Regu-
lated free government is more and more
every year becoming the shiDboleth of
mankind; and the blowing of the penny
whistles Of all the snarlers in existence can
not drown that cry, or rally at any time
more than cOrporal's guard of obstruc-
t!Onists

tions have resulted in a general closing.
Occasionally, however, ventureseme pro-
motors establish themselves as bidders for
graduation fees and reap a rich harvest
before they are exposed. Their victims.
many of whom are known to be honest in
their first intentions. nnding that they are
rejected in this country as unprepared to
practice conclude to try their fortunes
abroad. with the deplorable result de-
scribed. The professional associations rep
.resenting the physicians, surgeons and
dentists of this country should seek a rem
edy for this evil. 1t would seem that an
international agreement might readily be
secured whereby certification by recognized
American organizations would be required
before any person is admitted to practice
in any other country. The mere presenta-
ton to the local authorities abroad of a
certificate of graduation. which may have
been manufactured, stolen or secured from
a fake school. should not be regarded as
sufficient warrant to admit man to prac-
tice his avowed profession.

Sound Advice to OAnnexatiOnists.


From the st. Paul Pioneer Press
There Is sound sense in the warning of
La Lucha, the conservative Havana paper
whose advice to the annexationists was
set forth in the dispatches a few days
ago Though 1t has not concealed its
own doubts as to the success of an tnde-
pendent government for Cuba, La Lueha
ADVISED the annexationists to proceed
slowly. arguing that they would only hurt
themselves and accomplish nothing It
pointed out that the United States is de-
termined to have an independent govern
ment established under the terms of the
Platt amendment; that neither the admin
istration nor Congress could be induced
to take any steps toward annexation. and
that until Cuba, as q free and independent
nation asked to be annexed nothing will
or can be done. In other words, annexa-
tion Is entirely Cuban problem, and will
probably remain so until a majority Of the
Cuban people clearly favor annexation.
Even then, La Lucha went on to say. the
Cubans would probably find many obsta-
cles thrown in the path of annexation.
This hits the nah squarely on the head.
This country does not propose to annex
Cuba now or at any other time unless
Cuba requests annexation or unless she
manages her concerns so badly as to leave
no other method of securing safety and
tranquility.

Greater Washington.
From the Baltimore Sun.

This Is largely, perhaps essentially, an
unitarian age, but that Is no reason why
the esthetic and beautiful should be ig-
nored in government buildings and parks.
Very recently Mr.. Frederic Harrison, one
Of the leading English men Of letters, visit
ed Washington and spoke in high terms of
the beauties of the capital and Of it's pos
sibllities in the future. Europeans who
come to the United States and visit WASH
ington compare it most favorably with the
capitals OF the old world. The United
States Is the youngest great power in the
world, but it Is not too young to make its
capital city take rank in architectural
beauty with those Of nations which were
well advanced in years before this republic
was born.

The pyrotechnic observances of Indepan-
dence day Were undeniably more sensible
and moderate in this city yesterday than
for several years. The hospital and fire
alarm records attest to the comparative
absence of the reckless firing of crackers,
toy pistols and cannons. A little more prog
ress in the same direction through a stiffer
enforcement of the police regulations will
next year give Washington a reformed
Fourth of July far more suitable to the
spirit of the occasion and more agreeable
to the nerves of the people than the former
celebration marked by wild license.
But while the cannon cracker was not
obtrusively in evidence yesterday, a new
form of loud explosive made its appear
ance to add to the noise. Throughout the
day and night men and boys in various
parts of the city placed torpedoes on the
street ear tracks to be detonated by the
passing cars. They exploded with great
force, sufficient in at least one case to
disable the motive apparatus. Each time
the car was violently shaken and passen-
gers We're alarmed. While these torpedoes
were not specifically dangerous. they were
decidedly annoying and may have led TO
serious results through the shocking of
nervous people.
The Commissioners should determine to
amend the regulations next year to forbid.
under penalty, the placing of explosives
on the car tracks. The quietly inclined citi-
zen should not be subjected to the posi-
bility of a nerve-wreckng shock while rid
ing in the cars. nor should the transporta-
ton companies be exposed to danger Of the
disablement of the cars through this vici-
Gus practice.

Americans Defeated at Henley,

The American crew at Henley, from the
University of Pennsylvania, met defeat this
morning in the final heat for the Grand
Challenge cup. and thus another year
passes without success for the enterprising
oarsmen who seek to win this coveted
trophy. The Leander crew is a famous or
ganization. composed of highly trained ath-
leteS. and its victory today was well won
II is trihe humiliating to find that Penn
syiEanla did not make as fast time in this
race as in the first heat in which it easily
defeated the London Rowing Club. The
short course at Henley is regarded as very
trying, calling for an almost continuous
squirt from start to finish. 1t is suited to
the practice of the English crews, accus-
toned as they are to short races, while 1t
Is somewhat out of the line of the Ameri-
cans. who are more at home on a four
mile course. This difference calls for
wholly different methods of training and
II is evident from today's result that the
English practice is better for its purpose
than the American. 1t would be interest
ing TO arrange for a visit of the Leander
crew or some other representative English
organization to this country to try conclu-
sions with the American oarsmen in these
waters Until some such series of return
races has been rowed there can be no def
mite acceptance here Of the absolute su-
periority of the English oarsmen- There
has been no such visit from England since
1876, when representatives from England
were defeated in the Centennial regatta
In a measure the repeated efforts OF the
American crews to score a victory on the
Thames resemble those of the British
yachtsmen to lift the Americas cup.
