Entered at Richmond, Ind.. Postofflco As Second Class Mall Matter. FORUM OF THE PEOPLE OPEN TO ALL. I THE BIRTHDAY OF OUR NATION. Editor of the Palladium: There is a prevailing belief that the 4th4day of July is the anniversary of our-nation's birth. This Is not true. The-Republic of the United States of America came Into existence by the acfcof the British colonies on the 2nd day 'of July, 177G. On that day the coloniesy unanimously adopted a resolution, withdrawing their allegiance from Great Britain and declaring the colonies, free and independent states. TbAresolutIor was effective Immedfatply&nd the-change from colonies to states toolc place at-once. This was the declaration of independence, and in this .manner was the Republic of the United States brought; Into existence on they 2nd, day of July,.1776. On this point see the Works of John Adams, .VoL I, page 230. Mc Jefferson also, in his autobiographyjiShows that the United States congress, which made a declaration on the., 4th. of. July, had been debating tho question for, the greater part of three days. His words are: "The debates, having taken up the greater parts 'of the 2nd, Srd and 4th days of July, were on the evening of the last closed." If the congress of the United States was in session and engaged in a debate on the 2nd day of July, 1776, it must have had a national government behind it at that time, and the statements made by Adams and Jefferson show conclusively that that was the case the Republic of the United States of America was born on the second day of July, 1776. I notice that some of our papers complain of the extravagant manner in which we celebrate the 4th of July, but we do not more so than our fathers expected we would. John Adams when announcing tho passage of the Declaration of Independence which he fays was on the 2nd of July, adds: The second day of July, 1776 will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and Illuminations from one end of this country to the other, from this time forward, forevermore." ISAAC JENKINSON. OBITUARY. Ernest E. Veyl,,son of Calvin and Julia Weyl, was born in Wayne county, June 16th, 1S7S, and died at his home in Richmond. June 2fth. 197, aged 20 years and 1( days. He united in marriage with Minnie Cain of Greensfork, Ind., May oth. 18.0H. To this union was born two sons, Allen and Garrold. .His boyhood and young manhood days were spent on the farm, but finding farm work too heavy for him, he in the winter of ISOfi, attended barber school in Cincinnati, after which he opened and conducted successfully for nine year3 a barber shop in Economy. Finding this work too confining for him, he studied and took the civil service examination, made a good- grade and soon received his permanent appointment as mail clerk on the Pennsylvania line between Indianapolis and Pittsburg. In this work he proved himself proficient, was honored and loved by the entire crew and was eligible to promotion at the first vacancy. His love and devotion to his home and family were eviced in the fact that he spent all his leisure hours with them, and did everything W his power that would conduce to their happiness and welfare. His last illness extended over a period of only hlx days, during which time he suffered intensely, but bore it patiently. He was conscious almost to the last and pave remarkable evidence and testimony of his acceptance with the Lord Jesus Christ. He called his relatives to his bedside, kissed them and bade them farewell, asking them to meet him in heaven. In his death the first link of this family chain is broken, bringing deep sorrow to the hearts of father, mother, two sisters and one brother, besides a host of relatives and friends. But we mourn not as those that have no hope, for we realize that in a few fleeting years at most we will have passed through the same ordeal and will be reunited with him and other loved ones in the summerland of God, never to again say goodbye, but to enjoy the presence and companionship of each other in a never ending eternity.

NOTHING YET DEFINITE.

WATSON THINKS THAT REPRESENTING THE SIXTH DISTRICT IN CONGRESS IS NO MEAN THING. Indianapolis, July C The gubernatorial boom of James Eli Watson filled the political horizon yesterday, looming up like a round, full moon. The general impression about the Claypool hotel, where the Watson boom was lassoed, and brought within range of the naked eye, was that, if Mr. Watson is not now a candidate, he is galloping in that direction at a rate of speed which indicates that he will soon get there. The whip of the national house was surrounded by admirers from the time he set foot in the hotel. There is a bare possibility that some of his admirers met him there by appointment to talk over the gubernatorial situation. At any rate It was talked over, up one side and down the other and then back again. It was suggested to the "whip' that anything he might have t.- t-ay in regard to his attitude toward the governorship would be of interest. "You can say," he replied, "that when the subject was mentioned to me I 'jes laffed' and answered that campaigns started before dog days are likely to be wilted by the hot sun." "Nothing more?" was asked. "Nothing more except that I say that it is not altogether a bad thing to represent the old Sixth district in congress." John A. McCardle of the state tax board was one of those who met Mr. Watson at the hotel. It was learned that Mr. McCardle is a red hot Watson man and that he vigorously pressed the Sixth district member to make a public announcement that he will be a candidate. Among the developments of the day was the discovery that forty or fifty of the prominent republicans of the state had been invited to come to Indianapolis early next week to talk over the gubernatorial situation. It is presumed that the conference will have an interesting, if not important bearing on the selection of the party's standard bearer next year. MAKING A BALLOON. Precautions Taken to Keep ths Gas Bag From Destruction. It may Interest the reader to hear something about the construction of a big modern balloon and Its equipments. It is made of what is known as balloon cloth, which sometimes Is of silk and is sewed in small sections of about a yard square, so that if one of the sections should burst the whole balloon would not collapse and destroy the aeronnut. At the top of the bag is the valve to let the gas out when one wishes to descend. A rope for opening it runs from this valve through the center of the balloon to the operator in the basket. The balloon is filled through the neck, and this Is left always open, so that when the gas expands from the heat of the sun or the lesser pressure of high altitudes the gas may escape and not burst the envelope. As soon as the balloon is sewed together It is blown full of air and given three coats of varnish. Each coat must be allowed to dry thoroughly beforo the next is applied, or else they would never become perfectly dry, and the balloon would be likely to be destroyed at any minute from spontaneous combustion. This spontaneous combustion is not a bursting into flame, but a kind of exceedingly quick dry rot. I myself have lost three balloons through it Once in my factory we were looking at a beauty when some one sniffed the air and remarked, "Thomas' balloon is gone." And so it proved to be. Five minutes saw It destroyed rotten so that you could poke your finger through it Sometimes the balloon is so affected in only a few sections, and a man may make an ascension thinking his balloon 13 all right. Protected by the fine netting which envelops the balloon itself, he may even get up to some height before discovering his danger. In former times there were many fatal accidents from this cause. When a balloon is packed, talcum or some other powder is sprinkled over the folds to keep them from adhering to each other. If this Is neglected the balloon wiii be ruined, especially In hot weather. As I said, a fine netting covers the balloon proper both to strengthen it and to carry the weight of the basket and Its contents. All the strands of the netting come together in the "concentrating ring," jiist above the basket in which the aeronaut stands. The anchor and guide ropes as well as the basket are fastened to this concentrating ling. All modern balloons, besides the valve, have a rip cord fastened to a long patch sewed In the envelope, by means of which the balloon can be. cut in two and brought to earth Instantly. This is never used except In case ef extreme emergency and where the basket Is within ten or fifteen feet of the ground. Dr. J. P. Thomas In Appleton's.

Railroads operating west of Pittsburg abolished all second-class passenger rates Sunday, In accordance with an agreement reached some weeks ago by the Central Passenger association. This stand was taken on account of the 2-cent fare laws in states between Pittsburg and Chicago.

Representative of the Trunk Line Passenger association will meet In New York this week and w ill probabljr abolish all second class rates for the lines east of Pittsburg. OPENED JULY 1.

Truly the telephone is one of the most romantic devices that has ever rewarded roan's endeavors. And yet the magic mirror, whila it seems Improbable, may lead to It, but even then it would only supplement the telephone. And in what way was the fairy boat or conch superior to the electric launch or automobile? True, the rider did not know how or why it moved, but thL? same advantage holds for many who today use these very equipages.
