forbidden soil, has grown and flour
ished until it has become as q
mighty tree whose branches anc
shades have overspread whole
continent and whose fruits are
culled by the eager hands of every
patriotic and liberty-loving nation
known to civilization. 1t is this
same patriotism, this same love oi
liberty, springing up in the hearts
of our people, which has caused a
low muttering sound, as if it were
the distant laundering of a rapidly
approaching storm for the last few
weeks. The hand of a tyrant has
been felt, choking and robbing us
of that same liberty which our faith
ers so freely shed their blood for,
and in answer to the calls for duty,
as understood by as good, true and
loyal Americans as ever lived, with
the love of country and patriotic de-
votion to the principles of free in
stitutlons inspiring and prompting
them, the unterrified Democratic
delegates and hosts met in national
convention and nominated the cele-
brated jurist, Honorable Alton B.
Parker, to represent what we be-
lieve to be the spirit of American
liberty and a sovereign people.

slow to turn gray and venture the
assertion that if he was a wldower
he would pick out the gray hairs
and fling his stick clear across the
Mason and Dixon line, and swear
by him that found the first mules in
the wilderness that he was only IS
years of age.

JOHN BARLEYCORN.

We have just celebrated the great
est of our National holidays-the
Fourth of July. Arrayed in all the
beauties of nature, it has come and
gone and the waving green fields Of
corn, the mighty forests of timber
and the broad fields of wheat, oats
and hay all proclaim honor to the
grandest of our National holidays.
A bright and glorious sun adds
cheer to it and the glad hearts of
patriotic freemen bid it welcome;
the happy smiles of the blushing
maid caress it, and from the small
boy with his cheerful happy heart
to the aged warrior whose gray
hairs and worn out form is totter-
ing on the brink OF the grave bids
godspeed to the traditions of liber-
ty, Washington and our country.
The Declaration of independence
gives honor to its parent day. The
young orator bows in humble sub
mission to the praises he so justly
won on that day, while his young
heart beats and futters as he has
instilled into it the patriotism of
free American citizen. The Amer
lean constitution is the purchase of
American yalor; 1t is the rich prize
that rewarded the toll of eight years
of war and blood it is the memorial
Of the deeds of our ancestors.
Great Britain had humbled and hui
inflated and made laws for nearly
every nation under the sun and had
carried the fame of her armies far
and wide, yet few scattered colo
nies rose up to contend with this
mighty power, not for mere re-
nown, for they had a nobler object.
and in pursuit of that object they
manifested a courage, constancy
and union that deserve to be cele-
brated and perpetuated, not only
by the readers of the home circle
column, but by every historian in
the ages yet to come. Down in the
cabin of the little Mayflower the
first New England charter was
signed and rule established which |
was TO govern the pilgrims upon
their landing on the bleak and des-
olate shore of Plymouth Rock, and
It proved to be the germ of our
present constitution and the seed
