WHY WE CELEBRATE JULY
FOURTH

We who are passed forty years of age
and who lived in the country when we
were young remember, perhaps, moro
clearly than any other event the Fourth
of July celebration Oh, the feverlsh ex-
element Of those days with the scent of
burnt powder in our nostrils, the blare of
trumpets, the roll of drums, the shrill
piping of the fife and the boom of cannon
lifted to a lofty height we knew not
WHITTIER by the proud floating of the
stars and stripes on the great liberty
pole in the public square! How majestic
and graceful it looked. Then, too, we fe,t
in some. mysterious way that it was the
emblem of this great nation in which we
were born and of which we, felt cur
selves a part,
Then came the marching of the "home
guards" two hundred men all dressed in
blue with wide pantaloons-marching in
solid column, with measured tread-ths
embodiment of military glory. How we
ran behind the procession, glad to be a
part of it. however humble! With what
glee we jumped astride the cannon as 1t
was being drawn to the picnic grounds
after having fired a salute of ten guns
with what warmth of feeling about the
seat of our linen pants did we jump again
to the ground, saying nothing. that the
other boys might not be warned and
avoid the burning. How the orators
swayed the crowd with their eloquence:
how the tears ran down the cheeks Of
the mothers; how the young ladies tired
to stife sobs that would not be hidden.

from a certain school of Democrats. But
he is no more and no less a Democrat
than was Kyle. He is following the bent
Of his own disposition, and trying to
maintain mis- own political end when he
assails the national administration and
party which he was so long at
tached to. There is this difference be-
6ween him and Kyle-and it is differ
ence which reflects nonorably, rather
than otherwise on the memory of the de-
ceased senator-that Kyle at least re-
mafhed true to those to whom he owed
his political elevation; Pettigrew did not.
Considered in every other relation of
life, aside from his participation in garty
political contests, Senator Kyle must be
regarded as an exceptional man. He
reached honorable distinction solely
through his own efforts. He was a man
of good attachments, and proved ac-
ceptable to the constituency which elect
ed him, so as to entitle him to be re-
turned TO the position he held. But little
more than this Is looked for in the way
of public recognition by any man in pub
lie life today.

1t would be difficult TO find a higher
type Of American citizenship than that
represented by the late Philip B.
Winston. The state of Minnesota did
not hold his superior in point Of pa
triotism public spirit or individual pro
bity. He was former Confederate SOL
der, had served the lost cause faithfully
in the ncld, and had accepted all The re-
suits of the overthrow of the rebellion.
It was wholly a false conception Of
public right which could set such man
as Mr.. Winston in hostility to the per-
petuation Of our republican form of gov
eminent. just as it must be a very mar
row view of our national life which would
such as he as being rendered unworthy
of the highest public confidence and re-
spect because of their participation in
the Southern rebellion.
In business life Mr. Winston was a
man of marked executive ability, Of great
business sasacity and OF unbounded en-
ergy. Ia public life he was a patriotic
and devoted member Of the Democratic
party who was ever loyal to his friends
and his convictions. Into the service of
the state he brought all the high tai
ents and the rigid regard for right
which distinguished him in his private
relations.
phil Winston looked every inch the
man he was. Big, erect and open as the
day in thought and action, nature had
done for him what it does for but few
Of even her most favored children. He
was in the very prime of physical vigor,
hopeful of what the future stiu held in
store for him and exercising his splendid
qualities of intellect and character with
the amplest success. In a moment he
was stricken down. and called to render
an account, when years of active use
fitness seemed still before him.
There is not a business man In the state
who viii not feel a pang of regret at
the sudden decease Of Mr.. Winston. No
man who ever enjoyed his friendship can
look upon that death with any less grave
feeling than one of personal loss. No
man who was Identified with him in any
way during his incumbency of public Of
flee. but VIII say that the community has
suffered profound loss in his departure
The members OF Mr. Winston's family
may feel assured that their loss is severe

the sympathy of thousands of his fellow
citizens and friends go out to them in
this sad emergency

A SPECIMEN PnPUIIsr

The public career Of the senior sena-
tor from South Dakota, who is Just de-
ceased is one which holds store of
value to the student Of American pol
itcs.
Senator Kyle made his appearance in
political life identified with the opposi-
ton to the Republican party. He main
tanned that opposition as long as it suited
his personal ends. When it did so no
longer lie felt himself at liberty to out
Hecod Herod in his attachment to that
which he had always professed to OPP
pose.
Senator Kyle was Populist AS SUCH
according to the philosophy of a great
many persons of present influence, he
should be a Democrat. Populism is, ac-
cording to these. the very antithesis Of
Republication, and the man who calls
himself a Populist is necessarily entitled
to the fullest communion and fellowship
with those who profess Democratic prin-
clples
The deceased gentleman no doubt
found the amplest warrant in his own
consciousness for giving up his protested
attachment to those with whom he was
supposed 20 be in political fellowship.
He certainly did no more than any Pop
ulist might be expected to do in like cir
cumstances. He went with that side
which promised him most. He had no
more regard for the one of the two great
PARTIES than he had for the other. Re-
publicans were at liberty to claim polit-
zeal fellowship with him; Democrats
might do the same. But neither could
be seriously thought for a moment to
have any stronger hold upon his attach
ments than the other. 1t was the Rev.
Mr.. Kyle with him at all times.
AS with the dead politician clergyman
30 with the party which he proresseu to
be attached to. 1t is not Republican and
1t is not Democratic. It may be either
or neither, Foolish men calling them
selves Democrats have been prone to ac-
cept for long time past the conviction
that Populists and Democrats were all
children of the same political household
They are finding out their mistake
gradually but steadily. The memory OF
the late Senator Kyle should be revered
by all Democrats for the service which
he rendered in helping to put an end TO
this dangerous political delusion.
AS with Mr.. Kyle, SO with Mr.. Petit
grew. PROGRESSED opposition to the Re
publican party was sufficient to secure
for him the badge of political fellowship

MODEL TENEMENTs FOR BOSTON

safe and unhealthful habitations which
are now used by the working classes
in that part Of the city. Mr. CHM made
a careful invest igation of the facts before
he decided to make his experiment. He
visited the people living in the tenement
districts. cOunsaled them as to the kind
of houses they would most desire
for the rents they could afford to pay,
and then had his architects arrange plans
accordingly. Mr. CHM says that at the
present time a man with SIG a month to
spend for rent could not secure a place
fit to live in. His new houses will be
