WHAT OF THE FUTURE
OF PARTIES

After the war OF 1872 there was
ushered in an EZRA Of good feeling
and the federalist party gradually
aud imperceptihly faded out OF ex-
istence.
The var with Mexico brought
about the defeat OF the aspirations of
Henry Clay for the presidency and
with the downfall of its idol the whig
party faded away
In the south the wings were incor-
porated and became a part of the
democratic party and in the north
its leaders became controlling fac
tors in the republican party.
Since 1860 a great chasm has sep
arated these two great national par
ties but that chasm is rapidly being
bridged over. and the appearances
are that it will entirely disappear.
Il looks as II again an EZRA of good
feeling" is to be ushered in.
The olive branch is perceptibly in
evidence.
II will be remembered that Sena-
tor Lodge of Massachusetts and Pres
ldent Wilson were not on speaking
terms before the latter delivered his
war address
When the Massachusetts senator
read that wonderful document he
FASTENED to the White House to ex-
tend his hearty congratulations to
It's author and pronounced il an un-
answerable argument. and in the Uni.
ted States Senate today President
Wilson has no warmer friend nor a
more intense admirer than Senator
Lodge, and he is standing behind
him very bulwark of strength.
President Roosevelt had not been
to the White House since 1904 In
the campaign OF 1916 his speech
against the president for not declar.
ing war against Germany immediate
ly upon the sinking of the Lusitania
was the harshest utterance OF the en-.
tire campaign But when the siren.
nous, resolute ex-president read Pres
ident Wilson's message to the con.
gress which had been called into
extraordinary session he was so de-
lighted with it that he hastened to
the White House bearing an olive
branch in both hands and warmly
congratulated President Wilson.
What do these things portend so
iar as they relate to the history of
political parties?
DO they not indicate a new align.
ment?
Does it not look as ii the history of
1872 and 1860 is to be repeated?
Does it not foreshadow the disap.
pearance of the republican party the
same as the federalist and whig par.
ties gradually faded out of existence
We think so'-Ocala Banner.

"The Day We
Celebrate

TT was about 1795 that the now
hackneyed expression 1.-THE day
we celebrate" began to be fire.
Quently used In the papers, and cou-
pied with it toward the close Of the
century were toasts In honor Of Gen
eral Washington. May his declining
years be sweetened by the domestick
tranquility in the peaceful shades Of
Mount Vernon" in 1709, proved to be
rather infelicitous, since within six
months Of the time this toast was
drunk the illustrious general was dead.
Then the Order of the Cincinnati on
the Fourth Of July, 1900, drank to this:

we follow him in slow time to the per-

pitious to our friends and the plumber

Of the nineteenth century, as witness
this: "The day was celebrated by the

Ride Of a Man Who Helped
to Make July 4.

IN 1774 the committee Of correspond
ence, representing the colonies,
found 1t most difficult to commu-
nicate with one another lowing to

ers."
Aprfl 10, 1775, 1t became necessary
to alarm" the colonies Of the battle
then being fought at Lexington and
Concord. The post roads were being
closely guarded.
Israel Bissell was the man selected.
he was fast and fearless rider whose
home was in East Windsor. On the
morning of the 10th he was intrusted
with the following message:
Yesterday morning We had reports
in this city from Rhode Island and
New London that an action had hap
pened between the kings troops and
the inhabitants Of Boston, which was
not credited, but about II o'clock an
express arrived with the following
account-viz: Watertown, Wednesday
morning, near 10 o'clock. To all friends
Of American liberty let it be known:
That this morning before break Of day
a brigade, consisting Of about 1000 or
1900 men, landed at Phip's farm, at
Cambridge, and marched TO Lexington,
where they found company Of our
colony militia in arms, upon whom
they fired without any provocation and
killed six men and wounded four.
by an express from Boston, we
find another brigade are upon their
march from Boston, supposed to be
about 1000. The bearer, Israel Bissell,
is charged to alarm the country quite
to Connecticut, and all persons are de-
sired to furnish him with fresh horses
as they may be needed"
This message was signed by T. Pal
mer, one Of the committee. Bissell
started with the message from Water
town, Mass, and took the following
route: Worcester, Mass; Brookline,
New London, Lyme, Saybrook, Kill
