THE FRIDAY HARBOR CELEBRATION

The Fourth of July celebration
here seems to have thoroughly fulfill.
ed the anticipations of its most en-
thusiastic promoters. 1t was un-
questionably the most varied. enjoy
able and largely ATTENDED ever held
in the county. The day was perfect
and not the slightest thing occurred
during the entire day to mar the pleas
ure of the hundreds of people who
gathered to witness the sports and
exercises. Nearly all business places
we're handsomely decorated and Spring
street presented gala appearance.
The beautiful decorations of the San
Juan County bank were especially
noteworthy and attracted q great deal
of attention. There were numerous
participants in nearly all of the sports
in which the utmost good nature pre-
vailed. The parade was creditable
and the music and oration in the
grove we're much enjoyed. Judge
Thacker, the orator of the day. deliv
cred one of the most scholarly and
patriotic addresses which has ever
been heard in this county. The
islander would gladly give space to
it all if it could do so. but the judge
spoke without manuscript and with
out referring to any notes and stem
ographic report could not be obtained.
During his address the speaker
referred to the civil war as having
been brought on by the extremists OF
both sides. who. without considering
the result. did all they could to antaR
onize each other that the church took
up the fight; that the ministers of the
gospel in the South showed by the
Bible that slavery was divine insti-
tuition; that in the pulpits of the
North it was shown by the same Bible
to be an abomlnation in the sight of
the Lord; that in this way the bitter
ness between the sections increased
until northern senator was assaulted
in his seat in the senate chamber by
a southern representative and beaten
nearly to death with heavy cane for
q bitter speech he had made rejecting
upon slavery. (This was the assault
made by Brooks, of South Caroline,
on Charles Sumner. of Massachusetts,
which shocked the civilized world
The speaker referred to the Kan
sas- Missouri war, and hastily sketched
the career of John Brown saying that
Brown was noted abolitionist ard
fanHtical to a degree of insanity. and
that he attempted to free the slaves
by an insurrection that he had but
twenty men. and they were as reckless
as himself; that he moved them down
into the state of Virginia and located
them in cabin in the woods near Il Q
town of Harper's Ferry. and that
Brown took possession of the U. s.
Arsenal located at that place at q time
