THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.

The great parade arranged for next
Monday morning, and the fire works Sc
cured for that night attest our never
failing interest in the Fourth, and the
iubilant patriotism of this community.
Next Monday will be the 12sth ami
versary of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, made by the colonial delegates
assembled in the old hall in Philadel-
phia, July 4th, 1776. announcing to the
world that the English colonies ranging
along the coast Of the Atlantic had sew
cred their relations with the mother
country.
A long war followed, and it was not
until several years after that England
acknowledged that independence, and
it was several years after that before a
Constitution was adopted and the first
President elected. but the Fourth OF
July Of 1776 was adopted as being the
birthday of the Nation, and as such has
been celebrated ever since, and always
will be as long as the Nation holds to-
gether-let us hope forever.
Since that time the Nation has ac-
quired by conquest and purchase the
great breadth of country extending TO
the Pacific, and has multiplied in NUM-
bers and increased in wealth faster than
any other of the present nations of the
Earth, or any recorded in history. Part
Of fhis is due to the industry and intel
ligence of the Nation. part to the vari-
ed resources Of this great country, and
part to our system Of self government
The signers OF the Declaration pledg-
ed their lives, their fortunes and their
sacred honor to the founding of Ma
tion based on liberty secured by law,
and he must indeed be thoughtless
American who does not welcome each
recurring Fourth with patriotic JOY and
pride. It is a notable day in the annals
of the world-the day that marks the
birth Of the greatest republic our planet
has ever known. The beginning of any
considerable nation IL of interest and
importance to the world; but the birth
Of a republic that in little more than Q
century has grown from feebleness and
poverty to unexampled wealth and pros
perity is an event of most momentoui
import to men of every cline and
tongue and Of every condition Of life. fol
in one way or another it touches and
influences the minds of all civilized
men.
But wealth and abounding prosperity
are not the only guarantees Of nationa
growth and endurance. The real foun
dstions Of national greatness are laid ir
wise political principles. in just and
equal laws and in the substantial and
~homeIy virtues of the people them
selves. Good character il the basis o.
all solid and enduring national prosper
ity, as it Is Of individual Righteous
ness exalteth nation" Is truth that
concerns statesmen and politicians quite
as much ~ professed moralists. Itwai
fortunate Tor our country that th'
founders of the Republic were English
speaking people; that they brough
with them over the sea the commor
law Of England and the Unborn impulses
Of freemen. and that they based the new
nation on the indestructible principles
Of the political equality Of all men AM
the right Of self-government

A FEW days ago the sultan OF Mo
rocc.- sent the bandit Raisouli some
go. 900 In cash and check for $50, 900,
besides lot Of prisoners from ike ban
dts tribe, whereupon he released Mr.
Perdicaris, who is citizen OF this
country, and also his step-son, Varley,
who IL citizen Of England. The mon
ey is understood to have come from the
Snltan's own treasury, as punishment
for not being able to govern his own
country.
The two men were captured at a
country house near Tangier, and were
well treated by the brigand while his
prisoners, but it is remarkable that the
European governments allow such work
all along the north coast Of Africa, and
the shores of the Black Sea; and it is
but few years since the overland trip
from Malaga to Granada in Spain was
fraught with the same danger, and the
trip from Meesina TO Mt. Etna in Sicily
is yet said to be dangerous on account
OF brigands.

The late Republican NationaI Coh'
vention at Chicago was a young mans
convention; very few of the old timers
were there; and it may be said OF
President Roosevelt's administration,
that it is young mans administration.
The president is not yet 45, the chair
man of the National Committee il
younger, the two new Cabinet officers
are only barely past fifty, as is the can
didate for Vice President The other
Secretaries are somewhat older in years
but Young in enthusiasm.

were that | was not permitted by the
regulations to discuss the president or

TIGER IN OUR BLOOD IS

address at New Rochelle. President j.

discussed what he considers the true
elements OF national greatness and
expressed the belief. that so far as
physical power Is concerned. our ma

law and our regard for the rights Of
others. however. he said:
"There has been in the last few
years more lawlessness than those
living in the present geheration can
remember. Lynching seems to go on
apace. There are reasons given for
this as matter Of course. Some
say that it is because our children are
not taught religion in the schools;

tiger is still in our blood and woe to
