Yesterday. our national holiday, the
anniversary of the adoption Of the Dec
laration of independence, was honorably
observed in France, and by especially
notable observances in Paris. II was q
most enlivening occasion.
Sunday, July "a, will be the anniversary
Of what the people Of France hold forth as
the day of their dciverance, the dcstruc-
ton of the Bastilc, in Paris, the prison in
whose depths wew consigned all who dared
10 rais, voice against tho arbitrary
exercise of monarcbial power. 1t has been
suggested that our country JON IN the
celebration of the anniversary day of
France, as France has joined IN The ocle-
bration Of our national independence.
And why not The day falls on Sunday,
il is true. and in Difference TO the general
respect for the sabbath that is observed
in our country TO this day, We may not
feel inclined 10 20 TO such an extent rs
France will go on that day. But our pas
tors may preach appropriate sermons from
their pulpits. and our people may arrange
for celebrations for the following Monday.
We NAV st least make some demonstra-
tions that viii show to our fellow patriots
in Franco how thoroughly IN sympathy
VIC are with them.

Some years ago, the Legislature Of Della
ware, at the bchest Of some employing
BARRIERS of Wilmington, enacted a law that
requires every man who desires to follow
the trade of barber in the State Of Della
ware to submit to an examination by a
board of presumably wise and professional
BARRIERS, appointed for the purpose. Also,
the law requires that the applicant for per
mission to follow the barbcring "profcs-
aon" in Delaware shall pay fec for his
certificate before he may go to work.
Just now there is surprising lack Of
barber service in the city of Wilmington,
and also throughout the State. Employ
ing BARRIERS are not only ready, but
anxious, TO employ help from outside, but
they cannot getit. The outside applicant,
when confronted with the necessary no
quircment of passing examination before
the board and paying a substantial Zee III
addition, says mo" And he stays away,
while the employing BARRIERS, eager to
engage his services, are helpless.
There is only ono way to face this s't'ia-
ton. Among the earliest duties that the
next session of the Legislature should be
confronted with will be that OF repeating
this ridiculous law requiring an cxamina-
ton for BARRIERS before they can engage
in their trade in this State

A Notable Celebration.

The Observance of the Fourth of July,
our great national holiday, yesterday,
was most notable. In one respect 1t
was conspicuous for the lack of noisy
display that heretofore has marked our
celebrations Of the country's natal day
Even the small boy seemed to be i'm
pressed with the belief that there Was
enough explosion of powder across the
water, without adding unnecessarily TO
the combustion here Mt home.
Also, the day was observed in the
capitals of England and France. And
think Of what il means when the people
Of England join in a celebration of the
adoption of the Declaration Of indie
pendcnce, which marked the severance OF
the American Colonies from Great Bnt-
ain.
France, Of course, joined in our celc-
bration right heartily. It was the
American Revolution that melted the
French Revolution. by which France.
although through long time of blood
and sacrifice, emerged from kinrly
empire into Republic Of the people.
Yes. il was great celebration Of our
Independence Day And may our next
celebration witness peace throughout all
the world

A Man Who Made Good.

The death of United States Senator
benjamin f. Tillman of South Carolina,
on Wednesday, naturally drew forth ex-
preston of regret and esteem. But he had
passed the limit of three score years and
ten. and his end, therefore, was in accord
with natural events.
But the public career of Senator Till
man carries with it an impressive lesson.
Ii will be we'll remembered how he began
his public service. He secured election to
the office of governor of South Carolina on
a most radical platform. He was then
designated as ''Pitchfork 1illman,' be-
cause he was regarded as a man who favor
ed the most radical policies of State and
national government.
But as a United States Senator, Mr..
Tillman proved a most agreeable dlsap-
pointment He abandoned his ''pitchfork
tendencies the minute he entered the
Senate chamber lie and tho late Senator
Hoar of Massachusetts became great per
sonal friends. And as a Senator, Mr.. Till
man represented the best traditions of bis
high Office, and never posed as a fire
eater
And so, Senator Tillman goes to his
final rest with the sincere respect and
admiration of all his fellow citizens.

A MEAN ATTACK.

For The sake of the newspaper pro-
fession, the doubts cast upon the exist
ence OF the famous, or infamous, black
book" containing dcliciouslv unsavory
details about the private life of lot
Of prominent EnglIshmen, are greatly TO
be regretted The story Of the book waH
just the sort Of thing that host Of
newspaper readers seize upon rs bearing
the evidence Of it's authenticity upon its
face Here at last, they say 10 them
selves, j. a truthful item. how did II
manage to get printed The more the
contents Of the book arc kept secret, the
more certain they become OF the deadly
details Being familiar with the ways
Of "aristocracy," they do not require
many particulars A hint now and then
is enough to enable them 10 piece out
what the terrible pages contain.
OF course. the trial will end without the
Judge actually compelling the production
Of the mvst crious volume Is what
he is there for But one more ray of
light has been thrown upon the dark
ways of the high and mighty rcspcc-
tables. and some day their disgracefui
doings Will be fully exposed, The Incl
dent tends TO restore the faith OF such
readers IN the newspapers How unfor
tunatc. then, is the communication from

OF the affair, even to the extent of dcclar-
ing that the first that William Of Wed
