The business interests of the coun-
try and the commercial welfare of
candidates favor short political cam
paigns. Modern political tactics are
so vigorous the American people are
becoming so nervous and excitable it
is quite impossible to mix politics
with business and when the cam
paign is On business is "off." The
Pembina Pioneer Express, Whose vet
eran editor has survived many cam
paigns, in a review of the conditions
prevailing at this time also gives
prominence to another feature OF
politics as follows: ut is too early in
the game for the Pioneer Express to
express its preferences as to candi-
dates, either for state or county Of
fies. There are several reasons fol
this. In some cases we have nc
special preference at this time;
another is that the support Of any
candidate before the convention il
held, Is apt to be construed into Cd.
position to the candidates nominated
at the convention, if it happened thai
our choice was not ratified. Then II
often happens that a personal choice
in one direction may be modified by
the exigencies in another direction
Politics is a game where one must
be willing to lose in some places II
order to gain greater victory IL
other places" +

Vast Throng Attracted to Exposition
Enjoys Special Features.

ST. LOUIS. July (World's Fair
Grounds).--In spite of threatening
thunder showers there was a record
breaking crowd on the fair grounds to-
day. The principal ceremonies were
held at the foot of the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition monument, where ad-
dresses were delivered by Lafayette
Young, editor of the Des Moines Capt.
tai, and William ]. Bryan. Young said
in part:
The greatest alarm at present seems
to be in relation to certain successes
that are eminent or pre-eminent. But
there is no use being scared at the very
end for which we have fought; no use
being alarmed at the result of our own
ambitions. The republic is more just
than at any other time. The laws are
nearer right than formerly.
No conspiracy of the rich can de-
stroy or even endanger the Govern
ment. There are Americans who have
too much money, and no way has yet
been discovered to hinder their accu-
mutations. The question of managing
do not know it's solution, but we do
know that we have solved all things
heretofore rightly; we will so determine
this question, and it will be without re-
sort to anarchy or the torch. The first
tyrannies of the over-rich would be so
resented. The future will point the way
for settlement-point the way to near
er approach to equality"
At Festival Hall Governor Pardee Of
California and j. Hamilton Lewis of
Washington spoke. There were pa
triotic exercises at the Pennsylvania
building, where the Declaration of In
dependence was read over the Liberty
Bell.
There was a parade, which was re-
viewed by President Francis, Cardinal
Satolli, General John S. Bates and the
different State Governors who were on
the ground.
The programme of athletic events at
the Stadium. numerous band concerts
and a balloon race completed the days
entertainment.
William j. Bryan's address was pa
triotic and based on quotations illus
trating, the various qualities, of the
character of the American people to be
contributed to the nations unparalleled
career Speaking of anarchy, Bryan
said that ''he who perverts the pur-
poses of government does most to pro-
mote anarchy"

The Dar at Santa Rosa.

SANTA ROSA, July 4.-The city OF
roses had the most auspiciOus celebra-
ton of the nations birthday to-day
that has ever been held here. In 1854
when the city of roses only contained
a score of people they assembled and
held rousing celebration, concluding
the same with grand barbecue and
a ball. This custom has prevailed
here now for half century and the
ones of late years have all been repro
ductiOns of the first one in early days
with the exception that Of recent
years the barbecue has been omitted.
Among those who participated in the
first observance of the day who still
reside here are Mr.. and Mrs. s. T..
Coulter, Mr.. and Mrs. James william
son. d. d. Davidson. Smith Davidson,
Joseph Richardson and Joel Crane
Mrs. Robert Crane, Mrs. H. Frazee
and others.
Very appropriately the celebration
in this city was in charge of Santa

rockets and squibS. Just as he reached
the outskirts of the town his cigar
dropped into the straw at the bot
tom of his wagon and five minutes
later, when near the Union meeting
house, he saw the first sign of trouble.
A pinwheel which was ignited by the
smouldering straw, was seized with
tantrum, leaped from its box and
spread sparks through the entire
cargo. A Roman candle pointed
Wicks' way and drove him to the
woods. A hundred skyrockets, which
inclined in the direction of the meet
inghouse, let go about the same time.
They went in through the open win
dows simultaneously and caused a
panic among the congregation.
By the time the congregation
reached the open street Wicks' wagon
and its frightened horses were disap-
pearing up the main street In blaze
of glory. Fortunately no one was in
jured in the stampede to escape from
the church.

received an ugly scalp wound.
John Mortensen, 9 years Of age and
living at 41215 Fifth street. was taken
to the Central Emergency Hospital suf-
fering from a gunshot wound in the
nose. The wound was undoubtedly
made by a bullet of small caliber. He
was found lying in an unconscious con-
dition at the corner of Fifth and Bry-
ant streets, but it is not known how he
received his injury. The surgeons were
unable to find the bullet and the child
is in a precarious condition, as it is
feared that the leaden missile entered
the brain.
Lewis Jackson, . years old, of 537

CLEVELAND TO TAMMANY.
Former President Writes Letter on
American Citizenship.

NEW YORK, July Wholesome
American sentiment, which demands
fairness and equality in sharing the
blessings of our popular government,
was urged in letter from former
President Grover Cleveland which was
read at the annual Fourth of July
celebration of Tammany Hall. Mr..
Cleveland's letter was as follow:
PRINCETON. n. J., June 2S.-Dear Sir: re-
gret that my departure to-day for my summer
vacation ard plans l have made for it's enjoy
ment make it impossible for me TO join the
coming anniversary Of American independence
1t seems to me that present social and po-
litical conditions warn all patriotic Amer
leans that there is need OF a revival of the
popular sentiment and disposition in which
the Declaration OF independence had its origin.
which made II the foundation of a great ma
tion
The intent of that great instrument was not
only to declare the equality of man. but to
decree its maintenance, and the independence
It proclaimed signifed not only our people 5
freedom from government which lacked their
consent. but also their lasting freedom in po-
litical thought and action.
No one cen be so blind as. not to that
in these days of grasping and consuming mad
ness IN the pursuit of wealth. with its con-
seauent Indifference TO political duty. there is
like political independence, will be made
the sport OF demagogues.
The celebration of Independence day should
above ali things. be directed toward a resist
ance to these tendencies. and TO the promotion
of a wholesome American sentiment. which de-
mands fairness and equality in sharing the
blessings OF our popular government and un-
fettered independence and effectiveness in the
exercise OF political rights.
Nor should it be forgotten that the fathers
OF the republic delivered the results OF their
work unreservedy to the care and management
of all the people. Nothing therefore, can be
more startling indicate greater re-
lance by designating hypocrisy upon popular
degeneracy than the impudent assertion by a
political organization seeking to perpetuate its
ascendency, that none not within its fold is
either competent or honest enough to be trusted
with governmental direction.
Such arrogance this is in strange contrast
with the sentiments that beft the profitable
enjoyment of general celebration by our peo-
pie on Independence day
