the public had enough interest in them
 to demand the resumption of the exer-
 eis=s another year. After considerable
 discussion by various delegates as to
 the advisability of dispensing with the patriotic exercises this year. it was voted to accept the report and adopt the recommendation doing away with public exercises either on the Fourth or the day before
 An invitation was extended the com mittee to attend the exercises of the Daughters of the American Revolution to be held in Center church on the Green on the morning of the Fourth. Tne '. M. c. A. also invited all to be present at the patriotic exercises in Foy auditorium on the afternoon of July B. Alderman McGuinness. chairman of the music committee. reported that a con- tract had been signed with one local band to furnish three concerts on July in three different sections of the city. On concert will be given on the green, but where the other two will be given has not yet been determined. The band engaged was to receive $195 for it's ser- vices. The meeting accepted the com mittee's report and ratified the contract Ther ewas some difference of opinion as to whether more concerts might be pro- vided for. but it was decided to post pone any action in this direction until it was found out how much would re- main from the funds, after the present bills were paid.
 The presiding officer called for the re- port of the committee on fireworks. The report showed that the contract for furnishing the fireworks had been awarded to Thomas Lloyd of 15 Park had called for bids from different local and out of town dealers, and had decid- ed that the New York firm offered the largest programme for the city's anpro- priation of $500. The report was ao- cepted and it was voted to authorize the chairman of the general committee, Mir. Hitler. to sign the contract with MT. Lloyd.
 An appropriation of a sum not to ex- ceed $10 was voted the committee on badges. Another appropriation of a sum not to, exceed s90 was also voted This was to the committee on guns, to be expended in firing a national salute of forty-five guns at sunrise and forty five guns at sunset. It was not decid- ed where the guns would be fired, but as Mayor Studley would probably not allow them to be fired on the green on account of the resulting breakage in plate glass windows, it was the pre- vailing opinion that East Rock was the proper place. Alter it had been voted to have the programme for the fireworks display printed in the newspapers, the meeting adjourned until next Wednesday in the city hall.

PARKERss CHANCES,

IApathetic Support of the New Yorker

 I Four Democratic State and Territor- lial Conventions were held last week land 98 more delegates to the Democra- ltic National Convention were elected, More than four-fift of the national delegates have now been chosen 8SS lout of a total membership of 994 No livery material change in the situation was effected by last weeks balloting. l.Of the 9S delegates elected, SS--from lMississippi and Arkansas were irl- lstructed for Alton B. Parker. and 54- from Illinois-were instructed for Will l liam R. Hearst. Six named in the Tn Idian Territory-were not instructed. Judge Parker has now a following of one-fourth of the delegates s-elect. One hundred and fifty-eiglat delegates are instructed for MT. Hearst and A for various .favorite sons Tn all, 4124 delc- gates are bound by instructions, leav- ing 426 of those already chosen free to act and vote at St. Louis as they may see fit. Two Parker delegations those from Georgia and Mississippi, with 46 votes-are authorized to ignore their instructions, if they deem it desirable Ito do so. In Georgia's case a. majority of the delegation can rescind the in structions. In Mississippi's two-thirds of the delegation must concur to set them aside.
 I It is apparent, therefore, that virtual ly half the national delegates will go to
 cSf 1 f fa,c personal fortunes and vaguely waiting "for something to turn up" Judge Par ker's chance of nomination rests on the contingency that nothing will turn up.

On Fourth of July Celebration Meet and
 Transact Business.
 A meeting of the citizens general committee on the Fourth of July cele- bration was held at city hall last even ing, The meeting opened at S:15 being called to order by Chairman A. Maxcy Hitler with large attendance of dele- gates. The minutes of the meeting held Q week ago was read by the secretary and accepted by the meeting A report was rendered by Treasurer c. w. Ross, showing that besides the $500 appro- priated by the city, the treasurer had cash on hand to the amount of s36O, A little more might be collected, but even then the funds on hand would probably be under $500, which is considerably less than in previous years. The Woman's s Relief corps voted a contribution of s5 to the fund, and the treasurer thought that other organizations represented might follow the good example.
 A report was read from the sub-com- nlittee on exercises, of khich General Edward E. Bradley was chairman. Gen. eral Bradley spoke briefly of the diffi- culty met with in past years in raising funds for holding the public patriotic exercises and of the lack of enthusiasm on the part of the public shown by their small attendance at such exercises. The arrangement of the programme and the securing of proper talent involved considerable difficulty, and the small appropriation and attendance by the public was very discouraging. In view of these considerations the committee on exercises had decided after deliber- ation to recommend the emitting of the exercises for this year, to see whether

Praise for RooseveIt,s course.

| The American people were fortunate in his successor, to whom they turned with trust and confidence which have been fully justified. President Roosevelt brought to the great respon- abilities thus sadly forced upon him a clear head, brave heart, an earnest patriotism, and high ideals of public duty and public service. True to the principles of the republican party and to the policies which that party had declared, he has also shown himself ready for every emergency and has met new and vital questions with abil- 1 ity and success.
 The confidence of the people in his justice. inspired by his public career, enabled him to render personally an I linestimable service to the country by bringing about settlement of the coal strike, which threatened such disas- trous results at the opening of the winter in 1902.
 l Our foreign policy under his ad11lin- istration has not been only able, vigor- ous and dignifed, but in the highest degree successful. The complicated questions which arose in Venezuela were settled in such way by Presi- dent Roosevelt that the Monroe doc Urine was signally vindicated, and the cause of peace and arbitration greatly l advanced.
 His prompt and vigorous action in Panama, which we commend in the highest terms, not only secured to us the canal route, but avoided foreign complications which might have been of very serious character.
 I He has continued the policy of Pres ident Mckinley in the Orient and our position in China, signalled by our re- cent commercial treaty with that en- pire has never been so high.
 He secured the tribunal by which the vexed and perilous question of the Al askan boundary was finally settled l Whenever crimes against humanity have been perpetrated which have shocked our people, his protest has been made and our good offices have been rendered, but always with due re- gard to international obligations. | Under his guidance we find ourselves at peace with all the world, and never were we more respected or our wishes more regarded by foreign nations. l Preeninently successful in regard te our foreign relations. he has been equally fortunate in dealing with do- nestle questions. The country has known that the public credit and the national currency were absolutely safe in the hands of his administration. IT the enforcement of the laws he has shown not only courage but the wis dom which understands that to permit laws to be violated or disregarded opens the door to anarchy, while the just enforcement of the law is the soundest conservatism. He has held firmly to the fundamental American doctrine that all men must obey the law; that there must be no distinction between rich and poor, between strong and. weak; but that justice and equal protection under the law must be se- cured to every citizen without regard to race, creed, or condition.
 l His administration has been through Tout vigorous and honorable, figh-mind- ed and patriotic. We commend it with out reservation to the considerate judg- ment of the American people.

Which is the More Civilized ?
verybody's Magazine for April.

Some worthy persons fear that the
japanese, whom they deem to be
:'heathen in their blindness" would
be ''the yellow peril and "a menace
to civilization" if they should beat
Russia. Which is the more civilized
nation, Russia or Japan? Without
dwelling On such precious Russian
services to civilization as the murder
of Poland, the oppression and sup
preston of Finland, the persecution
of Jews and Armenians, look at Rus
sian education. Russia is fifty times
as big as Japan in territory, thrice
as big in population; and Japan
sends three times as many children
to the elementary schools. Japan,,s
credit is better than Russia's. Japan
has the larger commercial marine,
and apparently the better warships.
Japan has popular and representa-
tive government. Japanese art is
the admiration, and, to some extent,
the inspirer of modern artists.
