Long awaited seasonable weather has
further improved retail trade and crops,
slightly enlarged recorder business with
jobsers and made for more confidence in
the placing of orders for future delivery.

orally there is q rather more quiet tone
~perceptible, part of it due to the smaller
han expected recorder business and also
to the advance of the season of midsim-
r1er quiet. There is a disposition this
year, more perhaps than in recent years,
to await clearer indications of the out
turn of the growing crops, and there IS
less assurance as to booking ahead in

in 1906, bat the trade situation proper
unquestionably shows a more optimistic
feeling than was possible a few weeks

Real 1ndependence DIV.

On the 3dof July, 1776, says Paul LIE,
land Haworth in Harper's Magazine,
John Adams, then one of the Representa-.
'tiyes of Massachusetts in the Continental
Congress, wrote to his wife Abigail:
Yesterday the greatest question was
decided which was ever debated in Amer
lea, and a greater, perhaps, never was
nor will be decided among mer"
In a second letter, written the same
day, he said:
But the day is past. The I'd Of July
will be the most memorable epoch in the
history of America. I am apt to be-
lieve that it will be celebrated by succeed
ing generations as the great anniversary
festival. 1t ought to be commenorated
as the day of deliverance by solemn acts
of devotion to God Almighty II ought to
be solemnized with pomp and parade,
with shows, games, sports, guns, bells,
bonires and Examinations from one end
of this continent to the other from this
time forward forevermore."
When the resolution was taken up on
the I'd, all the States except New York
voted to accept it. Thus on .be I'd day
OF July, 1776, the independence of the
thirteen United Colonies fIom the throne
of Great Britain was definitely decided
upon. The I'd, and not the 4th, may be
called the true date of the separation.

Scores of years have passed since the first Independ-
ence Day, and the scattered, impoverished, struggling,
haifunited colonies have grown to be one of the most
powerful nations on earth.
The handful Of men who sat in Independence Hall
and listened to the grievances which they were called
together to redress, far-seeing statesmen though some of
them were, in their widest moods of prophecy did not
dream Of an empire extending even beyond the Mississip-
D, much less one that should extend far into the Pacific
and into the Gulf of Mexico.
The Commonwealths of that day. sparsely settled,
struggled along the Atlantic coast from Maine to Florida,
having no outlet upon the Gulf and scarcely daring to
peep over the Allegheny Mountains. Grinding necessity
had brought them together for a common purpose, but
the men of the hour had no thought of building up a
nation that one day would astound the world.
They resolved that the United States were and of
right ought to be free and independent, but what would
come after independence waswon they hardlydared to say.
But they easily saw that the day of the declaration
would be a memorable epoch in American history, and
sturdily John Adams gave expression to it.

REDS HURL BOMBS.
Latest Outbreak of Russian Terror

Latest outbreak of Russian Terror
lists Occurs at Tinis.
Ten bombs were hurled in Eriyan
square in Tifis, Trans-Caucasia, explod-
ing with terrific force. Many persons
We're killed and injured and the houses
over a large area in the neishborhood
were shattered. The bomb horror is but
another evidence of the growth of the
Russian revolution. Ti6is is in the ex-
IRENE southern portion of the Russian
empire, not a great distance from Baku,
on the Caspian Sea, the scene of the oil
riots, when many were killed, a few years
ago.
There had been no signs of an outbreak
and the police and troops were taken
wholly by surprise. It was undoubtedly
the work of the terrorists, whose plots
and intentions were unlocked for.
Shortly after daybreak a crowd col
lected In Grivan square, apparently with
out cause. When commanded by the SOL
diers to dispense there was no D
except the sudden reports Of the exploding
bombs. The noise was deafesing. It was
more than an hour before the terrified
troops could be induced to return to the
square to begin the work of removing the
injured. The exact number of dead will
probably never be known, as many per
sens were blown to such fragments they
can never be identified.

CHICAGO.

Sustained Improvement in the promin

beneficial to the crops, but has also in

Throughout the interior. Stocks Of sea-
onsble goods now undergo sharp and

It is privately admitted, according
to a Washington correspondent, that
the Navy Department h~esitates to or

this time. While having every possible
right to do SO without question, it is
well known that such a move would be
seized upon by the Japanese as
an Indication Of hostile intent,

The two bills providing for a recan-

mayoralty election in 1905, one of which
had been repassed by the Legislature, de-
spite Mayor McClellan's objections, and
the other passed to overcome some of his
objections by throwing upon the city the
cost of the recount in districts suggested
by him, were signed by Gov. Hughes
with a notable memorandum. The Gov
ernor says that the failure to test the
correctness Of this election canvass had
become a public scandal, and that wide
spread doubt existed as to the accuracy
of the count. He added that it must be
taken for granted that the ballots had
been preserved until shown otherwise. The

that Mr.. Hearst would ask for a recount
in every election district in the city. The

"Hurrnh for-y,

He was an old, old man.
His hair was white as snow, his bach
wa bent, and he was almost blind and
deaf. When the morning of Fourth of
July came they noticed a look Of longing
on his face, and they placed him in his
invalid chair and wheeled him out on his
veranda. He nodded and a smile came to
his wrinkAd face.
He csaM scarcely see the moving
throng or rear the popping around him,
but he had been a boy once and he knew
how things were going. He knew that
flags were flying all around him, and that
here and there drums were beating and
some cid veteran had brought out his fife
and WAS showing the younger generation
how marching was done in his day.
Then the old mans thoughts went back
a hundred years and more-to the stamp
act-te throwing the tea oyerboard-to
the scores Of acts that drove the Ameri-
can colonies into rebellion. His father
was at Bunker HiA, and Saratoga and
Yorktown, and as a boy he had listened
to many stories of war. He had heard
how the patriots starved n suffered at
Valley Forge-he had heard and read of
the reason at West Point-he had been
told of Cowpens, Kings Mountain and
LundysS Lane.
1t seemed to that old man as he sat
there that he could hear the ringing of
the Bell of Liberty after the names had
been signed to the Declaration of indie
p~endence. There was the popping of the
farmers rifles at Lexington-there was
the roar of the musketry at Bunker Hill.
His face lighted Up, his dim eyes opened,
and those who WATCHED him whispered to
each other:
mo a is ever too old to love lib
erty.'
Then the old man remembered his own
battles In Mexico and in the sunny South
how he marched with Scott and Taylor
how he fought under the banners of
Grant and Sheridan, and all at once he
lifted up a paisied arm, and from his
wrinkled throat there came the cheer:
"Hurrah! Hurrah for -r"
That was all. He fell back, and when

In Conflict with Japan Uncle Sam

The war-like attitude o. Japan Is
causing considerable anxiety among
officials Of the government and officers
Of the navy who r familiar with the
absolute lack of adequate preparation
on the part of the United States for
hostllities.
It is said that a declaration of war
by Japan would be followed by the i'm
mediate loss of our Philippine posses
sions. Guam, Hawaii, Alaska and the
menacing OF our Pacific coast.
The United States is to-day less pre-
pared to meet Japan in the Pacific
waters than Spain was on 1898 to meet
the United States. All the strength
Of our feet is at present in Atlantic
waters, and the small strips in the far
east would be as Junk to the powerful
and wen concentrated Japanese navy.
