ersary as the occasion for euch Jubilation?. THE DAY WE CELEBRATE. ThU day. forever the most Illustrious In our history. Is crowded with patriotic memories. It belongs to history, and celebrates that only which U grand and inspiring in history. Every memory, every tradition, every event about it must inspire every patriot with true homage to country and with hope, courage and confidence for the future. It Is the baptismal day of freedom; the day when the hearts of young: America are proud and glad, and the hearts of the old are young again. It celebrates the grandest act in the history of the human racethe declaration of American Indpenlencc and a ringing protest against usurpation and tyranny in that age and every other. It has no rival; Lincoln's Important proclamation of emancipation was but Its litting supplement and actual fulfillment. Yorktown pointed the way; but it was Appomattox that marked the completed, unquestioned and glorious realization of both. "The Fourth of July calls us back to the most heroic era of American annals, and I can conceive of nothing more profitable than a consideration of the origin and meaning of our national anniversary and a brief notice of some of the patriot leaders who made its celebration po?sible. The day records the event which gave birth to the Nation;1 that giad event to humanity, out of which has arisen the great national fabric that we now enjoy, and the preservation and advancement of which should bo our highest and mo.'t sacred concern. We cannot study the early history of the country without marveling at the courage, the foresight. ' the sagacity and the broadmindedness of the man who promulgated the Declaration of Independence and who subsequently launched a new government under a written Constitution. The men who frimed the Declaration and Constitution aeem now . to have been Inspire! fcrt, their great work; to Jiave been ral5ed up by Jehovah, like his prophets of old, especially for the supreme duties and grave re?ponsibiWtles he placed upon them. Both instruments were, in part, the work of the Fame men. and never was theFplrit and Impulse of a preliminary document more apparent in the completed work. What Illustrious meneonstltuted the Continental Congrcs3 of 1775 and mot of them were young men, whose subsequent careers were as distinguished and useful as tnelr first great work Indicated they would become. "It took seven years of war to make the Declaration of Independence respected as more than the Idle words of a few restles leaders. Yet that great proclamation ol freedom fell shcrt of what Jefferson inteni-e-d that It should contain. It Is an interfiling fact that the author of the Declaration of Independence and 3omc of those asroelated with him deeply deplored the slave trade which was thru actively engaged In by reveral of the colonlrs. It is a fact worth cherishing that in the original draft by Jefferson he charged the kins with willful participation In the slave trade. Here is the jassage wh'ch was omitted, an ! it ia certainly one of the most striking of that wonderful document: "He has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violated its most sacred rights of life and liberty Jr. the pcr.son o? a distant people who never offended him, t aptivating and carrying them into slavery into another hemisphere, or in incur miserable death !n their transportation thither. This piratical warfare, the opprobrium of infidel rxmr, fa the warfare cf the Christian King of Great Britain. Determined to keep open the market where men should be bcught and old. he has prostituted his negative fcr suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or to restrain the execrable commerce. THE GREAT MISTAKE. "This, alas, was left out of the otherwise perfect Declaration of Independence. What a world of trouble and sorrow It would hav raved to posterity had It remained. .What a blot it would have spared the fair fame of this Republic, and what thousands of preclou3 Hvc3 would have been saved If that great truth had become a part of the charter cf our liberties, and Its spirit have been engrafted .upon the Constitution fci 17S7. It is doubtful whether the declaration could have been adopted if Jt had not been eliminated. Some of the colonies would have withheld their assent, because schne of them, or some of the people, dwelling therein, were engaged themselves in the unholy traffic. It was the best' that could be done at the time; all that could be done at the time; more than that was not required then and is not required now. Jefferson reluctantly yielded the point, but the passage remains as a permanent record not only to his broad phllanthrophy and exalted patriotism, but to his marvelous sagacity and foresight as one of the ablest and noblest of American statesmen. We can but reflect that what was In the hearts of Jefferson and many of his associates nearly H'J years ago continued to stir the hearts of mankind, and that men would not slumber until slavery was totally extinguished. It took nearly a hundred years of national agitation, and finally a war, which cost the country hundreds of thousands of brave men and millions of the publid treasury to put into the Constitution of the country, what Jefferson wanted to put into the first great declaration of liberty. "It is an interesting study to note what seemed the almost Insuperable obstacles to the tlnal victory which inaugurated free povernraent on th!s continent. In the limitations of an address like this it 13 impossible to give them even a casual review. There was one great menace that seems to have received little attention at the time which impresses me deeply and may possess some interest to you. since It brings into prominence the nobler character of Washington and his agency in securing the blessings -we now enjoy. It was after hostilit.es had ceased, although no public proclamation of peace had yet been made. Washington had been urged to accept a kingship, but had sternly rebuked every suggestion of dictatorship on his part. The army was at Newburg without pay, almost without food, and suffering in rags. Washington best describes Its condition in a letter to the Secretary of War, from which I read: 'Under present circumstances, when I see a number of men goaded by a thousand stings of reflection on the past and anticipation of the future, about to be turned on the world, forced by penury and what they call the Ingratitude of the public. Involved in debt, without one farthing to carry them home, after spending the flower of their days and many of their ratrimon'.es In establishing the freedom of their country, and suffering everything this side of death I repeat it, when I consider these irriUtlng circumstances, without one thing to soothe their feelings or dispel their prospects. I cannot avoid apprehending that a train of evils will follow of a very serious and distressing nature. You may rely upon it, the patriotism and long suffering of this army is wellnigh exhausted, and there never was so great a spirit of discontent as at present.' A TIME OF PKUIL. "He stood between the army and Congress, sympathizing deeply with his brave comrades in their deplorable condition, and yet In their presence and In all his relations with them he upheld Congress and found good excuses for its failure to provide for the continental army. The greatest discontent was prevalent, and a manifesto was Issued and circulated amChg'offlcers and men which was well calculated to move them to a:ts of disorder and violence. This was Its strong language: 'Faith has Its limits as well as its temper, and there are points beyond which neither can be stretched without sinking Into cowardice or plunging Into credulity. If this be your treatment while the swords you wear are necessary to the protection of your country, what have you to exp?t from peace when your voice sh.dl sink and your strength dissipate by division, when those very sword, the ir.struments and companions of your glory, hal! be taken from your sides, and no remaining mark of your military distinction left but your Infirmities and your scars? Can you consent to retire from the field and groveold in poverty, wretchedness and contempt? Can you consent to wade through the vile mire of despondency and owe the remnant of that life to charity, which ha3 hitherto been spent In honor? If you can. go and carry with you the Jest of Tories, the scorn of Whigs, and, what Is worse, the pity of the world. Go. starve, and be forgotten. Suspect the man. it continued, refomnsr directly to Washington, 'who would advise to more moderation ami loneer forbearance. Tell Congress that with It rvats the responsibility of the future: that if peace returns r.othlnjj but death shall separate you from your arms, and that if the war continues you will retire to some unsettled country to smile In turn and mock when their fear Cometh. "This was the situation that confronted Washington. Thce words of discontent and mutinous Import W5re easily caught up by the brave men whom he had bone to his groat heart for seven long years. He de-

clared this to be the darkest day of his life; no defeat In all the years of the revolution hal borne so terrible an aspect. He beheli. his half-naked, starving army about to be led into mutiny and perhaps all the horrors of a bloody an3 desperate civil war whose chief incentives would be rapine and plunder. What was he to do in this great emergency? A meeting was called without his .knowledge or consent to take action. He appreciated its gravity; he realized the meeting was fraught with the gravest consequences to the army and tha country. It might destroy dl that had been accomplished in the long struggle. He quickly determined his course. He issued a peremptory order postponing it for four days, anl prepare-J an address which, for force cf utterance, devoted patriotism and unselfish devotion to the cause for which they had Jointly fought, has to me scarcely an equal In the literature of the revolutionary pe riod. He attended the meeting; It was held on March 13. 17S3. "It was the trying moment of his life as well as a crucial test in the life of the new and unsettled government of the Republic. He had for those brave men. as he looked upon them assembled In the temple, only love, gratitude and sympathy. He unrolled hU manuscript forgetting for the moment his spectacles, which had become indispensable to him but pausing, he took them from his pocket, anl before adjusting them remarked In words full of emotion: 'These eyes, my friends, have grown dim and these locks white In the service, yet I never doubted the Justice of my conntry Referring to the manifesto he said: My God, what can this writer have In view In recommending such measures? Can he be a friend of the country and the army? No! He Is plotting the ruin of both. Let me conjure you in the name of our common country, as you value your own scred honor, as you respect the rights of umanity, a3 ou regard the military or national character of America, to express jour utmost horror and detestation of the man who wishes under any specious pretense to overturn the liberties of our country, and who wickedly attempts to open the floodgates "of civil discord and delude U)r rising empire in blood.' A FINAL APPEAR. "After urging them to exhibit the same unselfish patriotism, the same devotion to duty, that had always characterized them, and await with patience justice from the country they had served so faithfully, he said: 'By thus determining and acting you will pursue the plain and direct road to the attainments of your wishes; you will defeat the Insidious designs of our enemies, who are compelled to resort froTi cpen force to secret artifice, and you will give one more distinguishing proof of unexampled patriotism and patient virtue, rising superior to the most complicated sufferings, and you will by the dignity of your conduct afford occasion for posterity to fay. when speaking of the glorious example you hive exhibited to mankind: "Had this day been wantln?, the world had never seen the last stage of perfection to which human virtue is capable of attaining." "Such an apoeal from such a man could not be unavailing. The effect was Instant; his Inspired words were magical. His address finished, he walked out of the temple alone, leaving his words of wisdom with them for such unrestmined consideration and action as they might see lit to take. The officers at once adopted resolutions of thanks, reciprocatln? th.2 affectionate expressions of their commander-in-chief, and Indignantly repudiating the wlckeu manifesto. Civil war was at that moment averted, and did not again so seriously confront the country for nearly eighty years. "What a mighty nation has been erected upon the Immortal principles of the great declaration the signing of which we celebrate to-day! We have Increased from thirteen to forty-four States: from three millIons to nearly seventy millions of people. We have arisen from slavery to freedom; from what some men believed to be a mere confederacy of States, to be dissolved at pleasure, to a mighty, eternal union of Indivisible. Indestructible States; from an agricultural community to . the foremost nation of the world In all the arts and sciences. In manufactures, In agriculture and in mining. Liberty. labor and love united have accomplished it all. Labor has been dignified and has vindicated the truth that the best c'tlzen of any community Is its most useful citizen. All men have equal rights guaranteed by our Constitution and laws, and that equality must be forever preserved and strengthened, and everywhere recognized. We are all Americans, we are all sovereigns, equal In the -ballot, and that citizen is the best who does his best; follows the light as God gives him to see the light; who concedes to all the races of mankind what he claims for himself; who rigidly respects the rights .of others; who is ever willing and ready to aid others; who has the best heart,' the best character, the greatest charity and sympathy, and who withholds from none of his fellow-men the respect, rights and protection he claims for himself. This Is the citizenship that Is the need of every age and to which we must educate ourselves and those who are to come after us. This is citizenship that is the hope of the Republic, its security and permanency, which Is the hope of the future of mankind, our own best hope; a citizenship that is faithful to home and family, devotedly loyal to country, that encourages the truest and highest natlonalfsplrit. the most thorough and genuine Americanism; that Is ever moving onward and upward toward the highest Ideals of modern civilization: a citizenship that respects law and constituted authorlly, that loyally upholds, guards and supports the government of which it is a part. In whose administration it has a voice, and that rests upon the free choice and consent of a majority of the people. These were the characteristics which possessed the souls of the men who landed in the Mayflower; who resisted British oppression, who made the great declaration of liberty. Tljese are elements of character which gave ts a Patrick Henry, a Franklin, a Washington, a Jefferson, an Adams, a Jackson, a Grant, and which produced a Lincoln, whose name has enriched history and whose great act has blessed mankind and glorified God. THE SPIRIT OF PATRIOTISM. "It was this character of citizenship, and the aim to secure it, that animated the men who have fought all the battles of the Republic, from the revolution to the great civil war; that struck slavery from the Constitution of the United States and made freedom universal In the Republic. The greatest battle which the Nation has fought has been to secure to labor the right to do with Us skill and energy and industry what It chooses through lawful pursuits and by peaceable means, ever obedient to law and order, and respectful of the rights of all; that has given labor the unquestioned right to use what it earns in its own way in the elevation of home and family; that has taught labor to give conscience Its full sway, and that has Inspired labor to Improve wisely every opportunity and to make possible the realization of the highest hopes and best aspirations of the human race. "Peace, order and good will among the people. Patriotism In their hearts; truth and honor, honesty and Justice in the executive, judicial and legislative branches of the government, municipal, state and national, all yielding respect and obedience to the law. all equal before the law and alike amendable to it such a condition will make

cur government too strong ever to be broken by internal dissensions ana too powerful to be overthrown by any enemy from without. Then will the government of the people, under the smiles of heaven, bless und prosper and exalt the people who sustain and support it. "In America none is born to power; none is assured of station or command except by his own worth or usefulness. Rut to any post of honor all who choose may aspire and hlstcry has proved that the humblest in youth are frequently the most honored and powerful in the full maturity of strength and age. It has long been demonstrated that the philosophy of Jefferson is true; and that this, the land of the free and self-governed, is the strongest as well as the best governed In the world. We accept no governmental standards but our own; we will have no flag but the glorious old stars and stripes. VWorkingmen of Chicago, let me aijure you to be faithful to the acts, traditions and teachings of the fathers; make their standard cf patriotism and duty your own. Ifc faithful to their glorious example. Whatever the dlttlcultles of the present, or problems of the future, meet them In the same spirit cf unflinching loyalty to countrv. the same devotion and love for home and family, the same acknowledgment of dependence upen God which has always characterized those great men. Therein re?ts your greatest prosperity and happiness and the surest attainment of your best and dearest ambitions. Have confidence in the strength cf our free institutions and faith in the Justice of your fellow-citizens. "In conclusion let me ofter the advice and exhortation of one who spoke on an occasion somewhat similar to this In the centennial year 1STC. in the city of Ronton, the venerable Robert C. Winthrop. of Massachusetts, In his masterly Fourth of July oration, and one of his last great public addresses. He had lived -through nearly the whole period of our national existence and had been an active participant in public affairs and a close student of our history and people for many years. With this training and all the wisdom of experience and age he profoundly observed: 'If I could hope without presumption that any humble counsels of mine on this hallowed anniversary could be remembered beyond the hour of their utterance and reach the ears of my countrymen in future days I could not omit certainly to reiterate the solemn obligations which rest on every citi

zen cf this Republic to cherish and enforce the great principles of our colonial and revolutionary fathers the principles of liberty and law, one and inseparable the Frinciples of the Constitution and the 'nion. I could not omit to urge every man to remember that self-government politically can only be successful if it be accompanied by self-government personally; that there must be government somewhere: and that if the people are Indeed to be sovereigns they must exercise their sovereignty over themselves Individually as well as over themselves in the . aggregate regulating their own lives, resisting their own temptations, subduing their own passions and voluntarily Imposing upon themselves some measure cf that restraint and discipline which, under other systems, is supplied from the armories of arbitrary power the discipline of virtue in place of the discipline of slavery.. I could not omit to caution them against the corrupting Influence of intemperance, extravagance, luxury: I could not omit to call upon them to foster and further the cause of universal education; to give a liberal support to our schools and colleges; to promote the advancement of science and art In all their multiplied divisions and relations, and to encourage and sustain all those noble Institutions of charity which in our own land above all others have given the crowning grace and glory to modern civilization. "It would to me have -been an honor beyond any other to be the author of these sublime sentiments. I can and do adopt them, and beg you to heed, cherish and teach them, as a rule of action to yourselves and to your children. American citizenship thus molded will perpetuate freedom, exalt the freeman and distinguish the Republic beyond its past glorious achievements." At Hie Home of Lllierty Hell.

After the smoke of bsttle lifted the belligerents passed in peaceful review before Governor Hastings and Mayor Warwick.

The second performance of summer opera at Wtldwood divided the Fourth of July honors with other parks last night. While the people at other places spent their time gazing heavenward at the flight of skyrockets and tissue-paper balloons, or falling over one - "another in a mad scramble to dodge misdirected fireworks, a big crowd that preferred some rational entertainment went to the Wildwood Theater and listened to "The Mikado." The performance went off more smoothly. If possible, than on the first night, and the audience under the ample tent was highly appreciative. The songs were given the same as on the first night, but Koko . Temple announces that he. has a batch of topical verses which he intend to spring, probably to-night, and believes they will make a hit. Local "take-offs" is all the summer opera lacks to make It entlrelv up-to-date. With a very little effort Interpolations might be Introduced and assist much In popularizing this summer amusement scheme. The bicycle checkman had his hands full last night. The crowd of pleasure seekers was decidedly on the bohemlan order, with many strangers present from out of town. ! ' Thus far the vender of cold drinks and ice cream has not done a rushing business at Wildwood. The atmosphere ha3 been rather inclined - to chilliness, and leads to . the belkf that no pleasanter place in the city can be found when the sultry dog days come than this little spot by Fall creek, with Its gay illuminations. Its excellent opera performance and Its crowd of happy music-loving people. The management Is much encouraged by the attendance thus far. Ten days of such crowds will Insure a permanent organization In Indianapolis of the Wildwood company, and bring this city one step nearer a metropolitan standing in the amusement line.

Anecdotes Illustrative of the Stateuian Temper-intent nnd Character. New York Herald. The disquieting reports received concerning Prince Bismarck's health will cause much Interest t5 be taken In all that relates to the great German's long career, and will doubtless cause many readers to turn to the "New Table Talk and Interviews" published quite recently In commemoration of the Prince's eightieth birthday. Some of the most Interesting reminiscences in the work are those of a cavalry officer, who was formery attached to the Prussian embassy at Frankfort-on-the-M&in. As particularly characteristic of Bismarck as a man the following remarks may be quoted: "Whenever Bismarck entered a circle he received honors not always willingly paid, not always free from envy on the part of men. and was the object of coquettish attentions on the part of the ladles. But, ever cheerful, and yet ever on his guard, though apparently careless, he was always master of the situation. When he rat tlovrn to drink tea In a company, how quiet, yet toT7 r,ar::llr.:, was the flow of his wit.

Power. Latct U.S. G'jv't Report

0 J3) mm He always says something unexpected was the testimony of the iair oaes ,who surrounded him. And. indeed. It was not the brilliant play of schooled and practiced society wit, but an inexhaustible fountain of pure originality, a fountain which continually renewed itself, and surpriped its owner hardly less than his hearers, &o that the giver was at the same time aa enjoyer of what he gave. t "All knew, feared and spoiled t!e Bismarck of society: those who saw BLsmarck at work were filled with astonishment. He was quick, and at the same time Indefatigable, it was a thing never to be forgotten to hear him dictate his reports. Arrayed in a large-patterned dressing gown cf green damask silk, his hands thrust infp his pockets, pacing up and down his roorji. he seemed to think aloud In Impatiently overflowing sentences, now driving the secretary to wild haste; now. by some droll parenthetical remark, compelling him to lay. down his pen. lest, shaken by his lauuhter. It should drop a blot on the paper. Sometimes It happened that Frau von Bismarck Interrupted her busy husband with some domestic question, and then an amusing interlude would take place. Thus, I remember a question about the fit of some newly made shirts was once put to him while at his writing desk. The husband, who had one of the new dozen on ct tho time, expressed himself as satisfied on the whole, but oojected to the height of the collars, and, seizing the paper scissors, with a pleafant smile, clipped off the superfluous amount of collar, to show how much he wished to have them lowered. In matters of service. Herr von Bismarck kept strictly to the rule he had first Isld down. The young attache might at any hour of the day or night expect to be called Into the working room of the embassador. It sometimes occurred that when he returned between midnight and morning from a ball, or Its epilogue. at a beer house, he had to lay aside all his exhaustion along with his hat and his cotillion rosette, and teach his hastily snatched up pen to da'neo a long waltz without any pauses, to the dictation or the embassador, who already then was sometimes troubled with sleeplessness. On such occasions, early or late, many a hint fell my memory doe3 not deceive me on a gratefully willing ear. VAn historical Inaccuracy was followed by the question, 'Have you then skipped over a page or two in "Becker's History 6f the World?" ' The reply to a question about relationships In a family, of no very high standing was, 'Don't you know that? A young diplomatist must know the Gotha Court Almanac by heart: for the things that form its contents play an Important part In politics. The somewhat careless execution of a given order was once mere cuttingly reproved: 'It must be very un pleasant for yourself, for. no doubt, you agree with me that what a gentleman has engaged to do is already as good as done. Icily polite was the tone of such observation, to which, however, nobody who cam near this man cared to expose himself a second time. "And yet the man who struck so unrelentingly was altogether the same with the jovial, hospitable Bismarck In the circle of his friends, whose lively table talk now led off to Kneiphof, to the duck hunt by the reedy lake, which the dreamy student of Shakspeare interrupted In .order to real 'Hamlet,' with his cocked gun lying to the right and his uncorked champagne bottle to the left of him and now recurred to the days when the young referenJarlus at Aix-la-Chapelle, or wherever it mas. he got rid of his troublesome neighbors by growling at-them. v "He was still the same at his wife's piano, where, while smoking, he would sit and listen long and attentively to her divine art. from time to time asking her to play on or other of his favorite pieces. Oftsn in such snatches of leisure the painter, Jacob Becker, called Jlecker of Wurms, was present, with his amiable wife, the sister of the Rhineland poet, Muller, of Gonigswlnter, and their two graceful daughters, whom the father's pencil painted often and well, but never to his own satisfaction. Particularly attractive., however, was th domestic concert, whenever Rudolph von Kendel, afterward an embassador, visited there. He came often In company with his friend, Herr von Diest, who is now president of government at Merseburg. TJien piano and violoncello and song, varied wltfe cheerful talk, were heard, and they are still present to the recollections of those who listened to them then." m -m The Right Philosophy. ' Harper's Round Table. It is worth while for us all, even when suffering pain, to refrain from frowning and wrinkling up our faces, and saying impa tient words. Every passing thought ant feeling write themselves upon the countenance, and the young girl is making day by day not only the woman she will be in character later on, but the woman she will be in looks. Handsome or plain, agreeabla or the opposite, the woman of forty j dependent for her looks on the girl of four teen. Yoir owe an amount of thought and consideration to the woman you are going to be, and the friends who will love her. and so you must not let needless lines and furrows come to your pretty, brows, but keep your foreheads smooth, and do not draw your lips down at the corners, nor go about looking unhappy. It is possible, even when bearing much pain, to wear a tranquil expression if one will, but remember that the tranquil mind in the end can conquer pain. Crossing town the other day In haste to catch a train the horse-car was three times blocked by great vans which stood upon the track. I looked about on my fellow-passengers. Some had flushed and angry faces, some could not sit still, but tapped tho floor with their feet, and uttered exclamations, and looked at their watches. One or two stepped out with their bags and walked hastily onward. But a dear otd lady In tlv corner of the car was a r-ttern of sweetness and amiability, and I heard her observ to her neighbor, "We will probably lose our train, but at'this time of the day there ara trams every half hour, and it's never well to "be put .out by little accidents of this sort." She had the right philosophy. 4 Dr. Price's Crecm Baking Powder World'f Fair Highest Medal and D!pbma. HUDSON'S GARDEN HOSE MENDER ' for mending garden hose.
