THE BIG 4TH.

The Celebration a Thing of the Past. Twenty Thousand People Witness the Big Demonstration. Everything Just as Advertised and Everybody Satisfied. Notes from the Big Show. The Big Fourth has come and gone. It was tl e greatest day in the history of the city. People nocked to town long before sunrise and by eleven o'clock it was estimated that there were at least seven thousand people, (strangers), on the streets. The trains coming from the north and south swelled the crowd with those that arrived by two o'clock to eighteen thousand happy and patriotic souls. By the time the citizens turned out they swelled the crowd to the low estimate of twenty thousand. The decorations over the city were in kfifir.inff with the occasion and r 0 costly. The Oolite club rooms, the K. of P.'s hall, the Star, Bee Hive, Corner, Eagle, Lindley's drug store, the. National hotel, the Gentry, Monroe County bank, City hall and Breeden's Banner store received many favorable comments on their handsome decorations. The pretty girl was here in numbers that could not be estimated. It was a noticeable fact that there never was a larger number of the Jaipcv acscmKlprl at nnft time in ' the city. Bands of music kept the crowd well entertained until the exercises began at ten o'clock. Chairman W. N. Showers, as master of ceremonies, was in his happiest mood, and looked well after the program of the Big Show. Treasurer Horace Norton was happy and well satisfied with the big turnout and wore a smile that reached from ear to ear as he faced , the crowd on the grand stand where the wedding ceremony occurred just as advertised. Secretary Axtell and Joe G McPheetera are hustlers and did much to make the Big Celebration a success. Press Agent Geo. Riley smole a smile of intense satisfaction as he looked over the big assemblage and kept them posted from time to time as to when the main features would take place. His predictions as to the size of the crowd were , verified and showed that he had looked after the advertising department of the big show in good shape. He also took in charge the visiting editors and members of the press and showed them the elephant. COMMIT i EE OH RESOLUTION. A Report Submitted Which A volt's An Issue and is Accepted. Below are the resolutions iis un anirnously passed by the Demo critic editors of Indiana at their annual meeting at Lake Maxinknke last week: The committee on resolutions:,

after deliberating until nearly noon submitted tins following report, after the addressee had been read: "Whereas, There appears to be a large and varied assjrtment of

opinions on the money question among t he members of the assoei ation, and each one seems to think all that is needed to bring his brothers into agreement with him is farther study of the question on the part of the latter, and as each and all doubtless concur in this, therefore, Resolved, That, as in the regular pursuit of their profession, the several members of this association are frequently com jelled to form and express opinions on intricate questions, without such opportunity for consideration of ihera as is desirable, it is a positive pleasure to them in their collective capacity not to be compelled by any present exigency to make a formal declaration of positive principles. Resolved, That nothing should be done any day that does not have to be done on that day and that can be done batter tomorrowResolved, that if oae doss no1 really have to cross a swoiien stream at once, or if the bridge spanning it is shaky and in need of repair, and is beiug repaired. and if, besides, the stream is falling and giues promise of being in such condition that it may be forded or crossed dry-shod before one needs to be on the other side, it is the part of wisdom to camp under the olive branches in the shady grJve on this side of "the river. "Resolved, That Maxinkuckee is a charming summer resort, and that b& band whiv-h plays on the boat is without a peer, and ought to be until it has as much time to practice as the members of this association purpose to take for the study of the tinancial question. "Resolved, That, we denounce everything that the Republicans have done or lert undone, and point with pride to all Democratic policies and achievements; that we are proud of them individually and collectively, but as both lists are too long for enumeration at a session limited to two days, the members are advised to fill them in, and herewith, at their leisure, given leave to print from time to time."

'ii M Hi i'"' i i"n ihmii mwi i . i in HOW WE GEO V. New Blooming-ten is Spreading Day by Day. The action of the city council Tuesday night is in keeping with the city's wonderful growth. On every hand the sounds of the saw and the hammer are heard and new buildings are taking the place of the old. Stately residences unci convenient cottages are occupying the place.-; where formerly baseball teams met in friendly contest, and the business section is getting larger and larger. The spirit of a genuine city is everywhere shown and ere long Blooming-ion will be the home of twenty thousand souls. Beneath our soil is the finest stone that ever made love to a drill, and our educational advantages are the themes of conversations thousands of miles distant from Indiana's borders. Our citizens are wide-awake and industrious, and they are just the people to make two blades of grass grow where only one formerly grew. Verily, verily we say unto you that the half has never yet been told. Bloomington is the Beautiful, Bustling, Blushing bride of old man Prosperity, and she is the pride of Indiana.

A FRIDAY MORNING, JULY

miiin iwiiiumi Home to .RoosL Come The Indianapolis JournaFs Editorial Chickens. That F-aper Finally Is Compered T Say Nice Things About Indiana University. The Indianapolis .Journal, during I he sessions of the last legislature, had eoiitum after column attacking Indiana University and Blooming-ton. loi satisfied with using its editorial columns for its onslaughts it gave its - p.:ee freely tu such enemies of the University as "IT. L. See," In this maimer the Journal did incalculable injury to the State's splendid reputation. As an example of this the following instance is given. A few days ago General McXulta of Illinois received the degree of M. A. from an Indian;! college, which caused the Peoria. (111.) Herald to remark thai "a H.tosier Master of Arts is' about the equal of an ordinary pedagogue in die state ol 'Illinois.'' The Indiana -pc. ' Journal, r.-alizing that outsiders had commenced to follow in its wake in discrediting t he schools of Indiana, at once executed an about fa e, and editoiially said: "If this is intended as an insult to General McNulla, a wellknown citizen of Illinois, he can afford to overlook it. If it is intended as a fling at the educational institutions of Indiana or the standard of literary culture that! prevails among ner people, u simply argues the ignorance of the person making it. Good, tiooi), GOOD, and had the Journal the good sense to talk li'.e that all the time, outside papers would soon change their tunes concerning Indiana colleges. With it.- conscience rebuking it for vpast sins the Journal thus continues to talk while kneeling at the mourner's bench : "In respect of higher education this state is distinctly in the advance. The alumni of Indiana Slate University, and of Wabash, DePauvv, Hanover and other Indiana colleges are to be found occupying leading positions in the learned professions in every state and territory." Keep on, brother. An honest confession is good for the soul. In fact '"As long as the light Continues to burn The vilest sinuer May return." The more the Journal thought of its transgressions the greater it realized its confessions must be. And what a sigh of relief it must have felt after giving utterance to the following: "When the managers of Stanford University scoured the whole country for a president who should represent the best educa tional thought and methods of the day they found him in Indiana University." Yes, the same university that the Journal his been attacking for the past years. Still not satisfied with the amount of its tears of repentance the Journal continues : "He was succeeded in the presidency of the Indiana college bv Professor Coulter and, later, when the managers of Lake Forest University of Illinois wanted for president a man with a national reputation as an edu ator er thus showing their good judg ment by i. tiitatiug the example of California people in looking tu Indiana for the man they needed.'1 Just think of the above appeal - jing in the columns of the Indiana I some ol L liK 1 r . . 1 vv on s ;i tictes that were puoiis!u-.a l.'.st :unu;rv it and February, "iilcssde L:ivd, a brudder done repented."

If the Journal from this time on will have the good sense to stand proudly by all the worth)' institutions of glorious Indiana, it will never have another occasion to swallow iis own words. Indiana , universities and colleges are up and a coming in fact they have already arrived at their destination with both pedal extremities and a paper with the pretentions of the Indianapolis Journal should be among the first to realise the importance of presenting them in their proper light to the whole world. In home institutions tht attacking Journal should realize that ''Boys flying kites Can haul in their white wmgtedbirds But you can't do that When vou are flviuir words.'"
