HOW TO CELEBRATE THE FOURTH.

There should be so hearty and enthusiastic cele-
braion Of the Fourth of July to-day to testify anew
and with especial emphasis that the truths voiced in
the Declaration of Independence still firmly held
by Americans as the supremest expressions of the
American creed of liberty.
Accompanying this proper celebration Of the
Fourth. every American should determine upon an
allegiance the foundation principles of his Govern
which shall tend to prevent the permanent sur
render Of those principles under the temptation Of
wider dominion and increased world-power along the
lines of empire. No patriotic resolution is pos
sble to-day than this.
The editorial suggestion of the Atlantic Monthly.
that the Fourth be observed this year by national
protest against the permanent holding of the Philip
pines commends itself to the minds of all true Ameri
cans This action should be taken not for the sake
of the people of the Philippines, but for the sake of
the American people. Our danger is great indeed il
we permit the qualification of Government and of
the nation that will lie in the continued forcble
ernment of another people against their consent \
national determination be rid OF the Philippines
would constitute an admirable celebration of the
Fourth of July 1902. A determination to hold the
Philippines will make tO-day's celebration tragic
mockery.
Americans should look the truth straight in the
face and then act upon the truth the founders of
their Government would have acted. The men who
signed the Declaration Of Independence would have
assisted the people of the Philippines TO liberty and
self-government exactly their and grandsons
later helped the South American Republics to that
end, refrainiDg from the easy conquest and forcbe
government of that nearby territory Only in recent
years have there been Americans willing to deny the
teachings of the Declaration of Independence because
the temptation OF spoils contained in such denial
These Americans are the real renegades and traitors
in the existing situation. The great body Of the
tod uEp
Americans by determining upon return TO the basic
principles of free government-the principles which
forbid u.s. free and selfgOverning people. to deny
freedom and self government to any other people.

NICOLAS AND THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE.

NICOLAS AND THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE.
Although he is going contrary to the advice of his
Ministers, Car Nicolas of Russia is acting wisely in
deciding to give audience representatives Of the
people in order to learn the of their dissas-
faction with view TO applying remedy.
That there is just grievance accounting for ex-
listing conditions of public sentiment in Russia the
Gar may well rest assured. That it is his duty as
ruler to listen to the people in such crisis and TO
deal rghteOusy with them thereafter, he now ap-
parently percves and proposes to act upon his
milton Of the truth
With Russia believed to be on the verge of revo-
luton, the Gar is taking that contains the
greatest promise of averting such q calamity
The representatives of the people to whom he has
decided to give audience include university profes-
sors publciss, editors, political prisoners and
convicts under sentence for political oenses From
these the Czar may well expect to hear the truth.
If, following this audience, he manifests determi-
nation to deal with the situation in spirit of fair
ness, the entire civilized world should rejoice that
such q sits the Russian throne.
Happily, the known character and temperament of
Nicolas warrant the belief that he is about to in
stitute in Russia in which the rights of the
people shall receive friender consideration than has
heretofore been accorded.

and D. T. Turner, Of Madison, are
also late arrivals. There are now about
two hundred delegates and visitors to
the Synod, which will complete its
work tomorrow night.
The minutes of yesterdays meeting
were read this morning by Clerk W. A.
Provine. and approved, and several

DR.. w Il. Rodgers, of Knoxville,

ance, and that the prospects for the
future looked bright and rosy for the
Sunday-schools of the Cumberland
Presbyterian church.
1.-THE Church's Greatest Discovery
in the Nineteenth Century-the Child"
was the subject of an address by Mod
orator n. L. Montgomery, He took
a scientific point of view of a child's
nature, and believed that one should
become familiar, that is as much as
possible, with the child through psy-
Geological study, that we were not init
mate enough with the nature of chill
dren, and to have greater influence
over them and should know Them pet
ter. He gave a learned dissertation,
which was greatly enjoyed by his lis
teners A child would always be sur
rounded by temptations; we could not
make laws to protect them entirely,
and could only counterfeit the eyi.
which surrounds them by proper train
ing and an implicit trust in God.
"Improving the School by Improv-
ing the Organization, was the sub
ject of discourse by ]. W. Axtell, Of
Nashville. If there was any lack of
interest in Sunday-school 1T was owing
to lack of interest of the members of
the church. That they should encour-
age in every manner the Sunday
