The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1904-07-01

Yes,
Doras, you are a good
guesser. This is
the Fourth of July
Modest, shy,
T i m d, shrinking,
quiet, Unassuming,
ETC.,
July 4th,
The day we celebrate
Early and late
And in the middle;
also around the
edges.
With hammers, tongs
and sledges,
Anvils, steam whis-
ties, boiler factories
and
A grand
Collision between a
ton of noise
And a wagonload of
sound.
The boys
Sit around the house
all day
And play
With their thumbs,
oh, yes!
I guess
That's a poor joke.
Great smoke.
It's really funny.
You can't get them
near the houses ex-
cept for money.
They start in bright
And early a week be-
fore and keep it up
until midnight.
Next day
The doctor b ol d S
sway.
The old men Get the
pace when they
were boys,
The year of the big
noise,
And you can't stop the
hubbub
With a club
Or a standing army.
What's the use
Of a glorious Fourth
if you can't turn
noise loose?
If it's to be
A quilting match or a
pink tea
Let the boys know
In advance of the
show
That tLey must shoot
No cracker, toot
No horn
And they will not go
to the trouble Of
being born.
The doctor is a busy
man,
His harvest time is
y here;
And he will mako
enough this week
To last him for a year.

 MemorIaI-May Grant COnstitution
 After All.
 St. Petersburg, Nov. 2s-2:5O a. m.- The unexpected may happen, after all The meeting of the Zemstovists first Russian congress" as it is now called, may Indeed work the inauguration of @ new era for Russia. Emperor Nicholas. the initiator of the plan for universal disarmament, may turn back upon the reactionaries and crown his reign by granting to his subjects the constitu- eion which his grandfather had already prepared when he fell by the hand of an assassin.
 The basis of such a possibility is the significant fact that late this afternoon the emperor received in the palace at Tsarskoe selo. M. shipo. of Moscow, M. Petrunkeivitch, of Fever. M. Rodzian- ko, of Ekaterinosla, and Count Heiden, four prominent members of the zemst- vo congress, and listened at length to their views. It develops that when Minister of the Interior Sviatopolk- Mirsky presented the zemstvo memo- rial and resolutions on November 24 the emperor was so deeply impressed as well by the contents of the docu- ments as by the character of the sign~ lers that he immediately expressed the desire to personally receive a deputa- | tion of four.
 Tsarskoe selo by imperial command. At their audience, it is understood, they explained fully their position and reit- erated the views, expressed by the memorial. that the salvation of the en- pire from ruin by revolution lay in the adoption of the general ideas expressed 1 in the memorial The emperor was greatly impressed by what he heard, and asked many questions. While it is understood that he gave no indications of his purposes except the sympathy he displayed, the deputation, when they returned to St. Petersburg, were In high spirits. Naturally they declined to say anything for publication regard ing the visit.
 The news that the delegation had been given an audience by the emperor spread like wfldfire through the city tonight and created a tremendous sem sation, rejeicing among liberals and amazemeIt among the uncompromising supporters O. the old regime. Earlier in the day the report was current that an immediate effect of the zemstyo meeting would likely be the realization lof the plan for giving two elected Zemstva representatives seats in the council of the empire.

 St. Petersburg, Nov. 26.-S:sO a. m.- There is an entire lack of news from the front. The report that the Japan ese are concentrating their energies for a desperate assault on Port Arthur, in view of the approach of the Baltic squadron. is quite generally credited in official quarters. Such a move has been expected to transpire as soon as the Japanese learned that the squadron's trip was an actuality and no mere dem- onstration. The authorities are prepar- ed to hear terrible reports of the pro- jected assault. While not hazarding a guess whether the fortress can be car ried if the besiegers are utterly regard less of human life. they are confident that General Stoessel will be able to make such an attack one of the cost Hest operations in history.

 and America stand Shoulder to
 Shoulder for Advancement of Human
 CiviIIzation--Adyocat Good Under-
 standing Between These Two Coun-
 tries and France.
 New York, Nov. 25.-John Morley, the British parliamentarian and writer, was the guest of honor at dinner given tonight at the Lotus club. Among others present were Israel ZangwiH and Judge Wallace N. Nesbitt Frank R. Lawrence, president of the club, introduced Mir. Morley, who said in part:
 There is no man on my side of the water more earnest in believing that the best interests of mankind lies in the good feeling between peoples than Sir. Edward Clarke. It is as your pres ident says, worth more than parchment treaties, this good feeling, whether be- tween the peoples of Usona or what ever your name may ultimately be, and the people of what, hope is not to be altered-Great Britain. These nick names provoke retaliation, and trem- ble to hear what some Yindictive Amer ican will say in reply to Sir Edward Clarke's somewhat injudicious sugges- tions.
 1t is true that I have written a good many things and that I was for twen- ty-two years in the House of Commons. During all those years was on the wrong side of the speakers chair. We are now on the eve of a great event such as that you have been recently passing through in this country. I hope for the remainder of my life, as result of the coming slection, will be on the right side of the speakers chair.
 T am not speaking for miserable sub division, but for those on both sides of the house, when I ask: Will you let us and say that by standing shoulder to shoulder together we will be promoting the advancement of human civilization? Don't let us be too exclusive with this problem, because two-fifths of the hu- man race are of Anglo-Saxon origin. I don't find any satisfaction in believing that we should have intellectual prima- cy because of our common language. We cannot do without the genius France makes for civilization. I hope no German present will take offense at my advocating a good understanding between the United States, England and France"
