en pleasantly and in good part. There was little over indulgence in liquor, consequently there were no hard fights. One or two little scraps took place, but were squelched in the beginning. Taking the day all in all, it was the most satisfactory one that has been had here for a iong time.
 There was one exception to this, however. That was the fireworks. Probably there were enough of them, and 1t would have been a pleasant sight to have seen them set off prop erly, out when 1t comes to looking at them all at one time. it is little too much for the average man to enjoy. Everything was going well after the first few rockets and candles had been fired, when there was a little l>use. The crowd thought some grand set p.ece was being prepared for its edi- ficauop. and intently gazed at the framework on the hill Suddenly there was an explosion, and the fireworks began It was a beautiful sight while It lasted. Rockets flew every where. and particularly in the direc- ton of the crowd Roman candles shot forth their red, white blue and purple fire balls, and these, too, start ed towards the gazing crowd. In fact, as one man expressed it, flor once in my life everything is coming my way. That expresses it. Between lodging sky rockets, fire balls, snakes and 'nigger-chasers," and getting out of ;he way around some corner, the spectators had a lively few minutes. IL was almost a panic for few sec onds in front of the library, but the presence of mind of few cool headed men prevented anybody being hurt.
 IL was really too bad that the fire works end of the day should prove 10 be the only fZzle of the celebration. and whether it was carelessness or not is to be ascretained. None but compe- tent and experienced men should be employed 10 look after such things, and when such is employed the acci- dents will not take place.
 Down in the Orient Cafe last night were two men who are known as the Siamese Twins. They are just of a height, weigh the same, and both have lost their legs at the same place. They are as happy as kings, and are really entertaining to talk to, and somebody suggested last night that they wind up the days festivities by running foot race, to winch they agreed. but said they were not trained to run very last race.
 Outside of the city fireworks fiZzle, the fireworks given by private citizens were in many cases elaborate, and add ed to the pleasure of the crowd. Show . from the hills, the fireworks seem to look better and brighter, so that those fired on the hills showed up immense ly.

THEODORE THE FIRST AND HIS PLATFORM.

The administration and it's party are vulnerable to attack at vital points. They promise no reform of the monop- oly-promoting and trust-sheltering tar if. They make a mockery of Presi- dent McKinley's reciprocity The president has procured the annulment of a great railroad merger, but the rob ber.es of no monopoly controlling the necessaIies Of life have been inter- fered with. The platform contains not the remo.est pledge of putting an end to the violation of the Declaration of Independence in the subjection of the Filipinos. The speakers at Chica- go glor.fied the President for his bully ing "big-stick" attitude toward the weaker American republics. His usurpation of the power of Congress in Lhe matter of granting pensions is ex tolled. The extravaganza in appropri ations which has increased the cost of government from s1, PIT 000, GOO un der Harrison and s1.309, ,0O0 GOO under Cleveland to SPAS, 900, ,OO0 under Roosevelt is covered with a mantle silence. The half-revealed and made quately punished stealings in the Post Office Department invite another cam palgn cry to turn the rascals out.'
 Yet, though there is the promise and potency of a powerful opposition 1T these and other issues, only the wises action by the St. Lou.s Convention car make them effective. Strong as Pres ident Roosevelt is in some respects, and firmly entrenched in power as his party is, the Democrats have at leas a fighting chance to win.
 But to improve the chance the St Louis convention must not only nomi- nate a sane and safe" candidate on a rational platform, but il must purge itself of the vices and wrongs which it will condemn in the Republicans. It can not expect that the country will take seriously a denunciation of the money power" if it shall admit dele gates whose seats were notoriously bought. The cry of "plutocracy' against the Republicans will be ridic- ulous and impotent from a convention influenced in any degree by mercerna- ries.
 The defeat of President Roosevelt Is not impossible, but it is fraught with so many difficulties that the only chance of the Democrats 10 accom- plisb it lies in the nomination of his complete antithesis for President, in the adoption of a platform soI nd in every plank, in the emphatic repudia- ton of all boodiers and self-seekers and the final severing of the fatal ali ance With Populists and Socialists.
 The Review is not only a remarkable paper in this Southwestern country, but It has a force engaged in getting u out that is still more remarkable. This will be appreciated when it is stated that the Fourth of July follow ed Sunday, and the entire force of prints" showed up at their places strictly and duly sober, hence the full and complete news furnished this morning.

CAM ERA CLUB.
Free Entertainment fer Bisbee Cam
 erists and Their Friends.

The Bisbee Camera Club has ar ranged an entertainment in the Gym nasium on Wednesday evening, July 9th at o'clock.
 This is the first entertainment Of the kind offered by the club and is arranged in the expectation and for the purpose of stimulating and deep ening interest in picture photography among the amateurs in Bisbee The entertainment will be open to all ana teur camerist and their friends. The slides of the evening are the work of the Orange Camera club Of Orange. New Jersey. The set of one hundred slides contains the work of H. R. Ter hume, among the ,battleships; Ellis I. Apjar, on rainy day and animal studies; Frank c. Lord, in pastroal studies; Frank c. Lord, in pastoral work; E. S. Butterfeld and D. :. Plumb, in marine and landscape photo graphy; W. s. Pulsford, with moon light scenes, and the work of A. c. Erode, in twelve slides, which include views abroad, and those which he has colored by hand should receive special mention.
 On Thursday evening private view of few of these slides was given to the press and 1t can safely be sad that a more beautiful set of v,ews showing the work of eastern camera clubs in picPrial photography has never been shown in the west. The secretary of the Bisbee Camera club has been instructed to secure admittance for the club to membership in the American Lantern Slide Asso- citation. The object of this associa- ton is to promote the art and science ! of photography and the encourage ment of art through the medium oi ' lantern slides, by arranging for thei'
 tegnlar e2hibiXVn and interchange between different clubs
 The Bisbee Camera Club will pre- | pare a set of slides to be submitted tt
 the interchange and th.s coming win
 ter they intend to hold many oper
 meetings at which will be shown tht
 work of the camera clubs from Mont
 real to San Francisco.
 ! This effort by the club on behalf of artistic amateurs should meet wiil
 8 large and generous response from
 the camerists of Bisbee. An exhibi | ton of this nature gives point and meaning to the otherwise diffusiys
 pursuit of amateur photography and
 affords 10 members and their friends an enjoyable evening
