Through these’pores in the form of insensible perspiration is expelled more than one-quarter of the nourishment taken into the system. The importance of keeping open these perspiration valves upon a child’s body. is second only to that of properly. digesting the food eaten. It was to open the pores ofthe skin and to assimilate the food that Dr. Pitcher formulated Castoria. Loss bowels, constipation, fevers and eruptions which @re so constant among infants and children, and which kill onethird of all children before they are five years old, arise principally from these two causes. It is from. the wonderful results attendant upon the use.of Castoria in regulating the stomach and bowels and keeping open the pores of the skin that Castoria acquired its world-wide reputation. With . plenty of water for the body, pure air for the lungs and Castoria to assimilate the food, there need be no unaccounted for sickness among children. Castoria is a vegetable prescription without morphine or other narcotic property. Thirty years’ extensive use has given it a history never attained by another medicine. Installation and Banguet. The following officers of Hydraulic Parlor, No. 56, N. 8. G. W., were installed Tuesday evening by District Deputy Grand President Isuac Houser of Auburn: Fred Bost, P. P.; E. P.

Hughes, Wallace Williams, John Sughrue. _The ceremony of installation being concluded .by eleven o’clock, the Natives to the number of about sixty went to the Union Hotel where they spent two hours. The banquet prepared for them under direction of Stewart Rogers was worthy of the highest praise. The spread embraced everything that refined appetite could erave for. The table was artistically garnished with a profusion of flowers, and at each plate was a bouttoniere. After the eatables had been disposed of and cigars had been lighted, came an extensive list of songs, recitations and impromptu speeches, President E, P. Gaylord presiding with grace.

The day set apart for. the celehration of the anniversary of American . Independence was duly observed in this city. Its approach was heralded hy the noise ‘of fire-crackera, the ringing of bells and the booming of canWn. When the sun was but an hour high the streets were alive with peope. At an early hour more people }ugan pouring in from the country aad neighboring towns, and by 10 c'clock the streets were thronged. Many of the business houses and dwellings were decorated with flags and bunting and the city--presented a uy appearance. : At ubout 11 o’clock the procession formed on B:vad x’ eet in the following order: ~ Erus.as Bond, Grand Marshal; Aids; Assistant Marshals ; Independent Band; Nevacla Light Guard; G. A. R. Veterans; Firemen; Car_ of Liberty ; Cfficers ‘of the Day and City Trustees in carriages. The procession was well arranged and very. attractive. The hose carts were beautifully decorated with flowers, gauze and flags, The Car of Eiberty drawa by six gray horses presented a magnificent. sight. Miss Lou Maltman, a very handsome young ladv, presided as Goddess, and there were on the car with lier acharming collection. of younger girls representing the States of the Union. ~The various organizations presented a fine appearance and marched well. : THE EXERCISES. Every available seat, and almost every inch of standing room in the Theater was occupied. First on the program was music by the band, followed by eloquent opening remarks by the President, B. N. Shoecraft. Rev. C.McKelvey invoked divine blessing upon the country. The chorus of the ‘‘Red, White and Blue” was well sung bya large number of ‘children under Prof. Davis’ leadership. -Geo. A. Watson read the Declaration of Independence with -excellent effect. Miss Esther Ogden recited in asplendid manner ‘‘The Flower of Liberty” by Oliver Wendell Holmes. There was a fine male quar tette. E. M. Preston then delivered an address substantially as follows: “Once more,in the full title of years? we have assembled to celebrate the birth of our nation—of a nation whose birth was heralded to the world in the grandest declaration of the rights of man that was ever piomulgated by a downtrodden and oppressed people! “We hold these truths to be selfevident. That all men are created equal; that they are endowed, by their Creator’ with certain inalienable rights. That among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed? —i “The. King of Great Britain, the monarchs of Europe, and other authors of human oppression who read this declaration trembled as they read, for within those brief sentences were contained the germs of revolution—of that revolution to a freedom and a political thrones tremble, and to cause the foundations of imperial monarchies to crumble and decay -beneath — the and freedom of the human race. “We have assembled, as millions of our countrymen have assembled today, to commemorate the thrilling évents which have established our national liberties, and to felicitate ourselves upon the civil, social and material blessings which have come down to us with this grand heritage of freedom. The dawn of this auspicious day was heralded by the glad pealing of bells, commemorative of the first bell that tolled for liberty in the State House at PhiJadelphia. The booming of cannon and the rattling of musketry remind us of the perils and privations endured by our Revolutionary forefathers in their long and vexatious struggle for independence. “Our eitizen. aoldieras who led the procession are typical of the minute men of the Revolution—ready’ to. respond totheir country’s call at the sounding of the first note of alarm—a fact which is eloquently confirmed by the presence, in our midst of the Mexican Veterans and the. members of the G. A, R.—veterans from bloody battle fields of wars which were succeasfully waged for the preservation of this government as well as for the of the States of this Republic—a union which was: beautifully typified by the car of liberty in a living picture which is reproduced on this stage—Columbia, the beautiful Goddess of Liberty, surrounded by the sisterhood of States the federal union. i ‘*No thoughtful American who contemplates this scene and reflects upon ita significance can be insensible to the hope andthe desire that the future of our republic may be as bright ‘and beautiful, as peaceful and happy, as this picture in lionery which togladdens us by its presence.Oe ee aware of the fact that there is a clase. of persons who seem to take little interest in these commemorative ceremonies—that there are individuals who ao in Oto power of the increasing intelligence 4 potnpand ceremony—that there are those who characterize 4th of July orations ‘as “patr.otic gush,’ and these spectacular parades as ‘burnt powder, fuss and feathers.’ “Out upon all such unpatriotic sentiments as these! Letuscondemn, in. unmeasured terms of disapprobation, the tendency to belittle the significance of these popular methods of celebrating this zreat epoch in our national history. ‘It'is doubtless true that the 4th of July orators may sometimes indulge ina little vainglorious boasting—that in their zeal and enthusiasm for the cause they may sometimes outstep the strict bounds of oratorical propriety, but notwithstanding all these objections, there is, underlying these demonstrations and pervading such oratory, a spirit of patriotism, alové of country, a zeal and devotion to our country’s cause that not only perpetuates the memory of the great conflict for our National independence, but ‘also constitutes the very foundation of our liberties and insures the perpetuity of our government. “We do not deny—we would not deny if we could, that these sentiments are as old as the Declaration of Independence, nor that they have been tol, over and over again, from the time of the thrilling eloquence of our Revolutlonarsy: e3-ca_dotn_t the—plainpre= saiv narratives of our Own day; but is this circumstance to be urged aga reason why we should remain silent while others have said so much on these glowing themes? The child at its mother’s knee telis over and over again its confidence in a mother’s love and devotion, but is the story any the less welcome to the fond mother’s ear because of its repetition? “So we, the children of our common country, rejoicing in our heritage . of freedom, will continue to assemble on each recurring anniversary of our Nation’s independence to recount the deeds by which our freedom’ was won, and to keep alive a patriotic devotion by which alone that freedom can be maintained. _ “It is in this’ spirit that we have assembled to-day—not as members of a political party, to discuss partisan issues; not as devotees of any religious sect to advocate a religious dogma, or restrict the rights of individual conscience ; notas scheming inhabitants of any local section of the country, to combat the rights of any other section ; notas business men, intent on individual gain or internal improvements, not forjself, to-day, but for country, as Americans to set apart one day in the yearon which we may step beyond the boundaries of party and creed, rise into a pureratmosphere than that of selfishness, and, while looking out on the broad field of our National achievements, rejoice in-our nation’s prosperity.”’ After reviewing the elements of strength, greatness and prosperity of the nation, Mr. Preston continued follows : “The desire for unrestricted traffic between the colonists proved a powerful bond of union which . ultimately led to the erganization of a federal repoblic, and thus upom American soil there was established for the first time in the history of the world a government in which the democratic idea is associated with that of federation—in which a republic was created by the political union between several self-governing states or democracies. “In the organization of this republic, history ends its records of man’s struggle against imperial tyranny, and begins its records of the rightful sovereignty. of man in a nation that is actually governing itself. “The true greatness of our nation equality which was destined to make /Cemtres in the development of these progressive ideas—the self sovereignty } of man, and civil and political equality before the law. ‘In the developnient of these progressive principles runs the fature line of human progress and on the ultimate success or failure of this great experiment of self government hang the future destinies of the human race. “What then is to be the fate of this American idea? Who is able to forecast its futare? “An orator of Revolutionary fame luas told us that, that ‘there is no Way of judging the future, but by the past.’ “In reviewing the history of this republic we find abundant reasons for encourage:ent in the rapid advancement in wealth and population ; in the success with which the government has dealt with the great social problems; in the victories of her armies and in the loyalty and patriotiem of her citizens. : “But while these evidences of national strength give us excellent reasons for predicting the endurance of our form of government, yet we must not forget that we’ can only safely judge the future of this nation by the past, so long as the conditions remain the same. Changes have already occurred which renfers the problems of legislation far more difficult than ose which confronted Congress at the time of the adoption of the federal constitution, “Phen: theré were but ihree millions of people in the union. Now there aré more than sixty millions. Tn the year 1800 the entire territory of the United States covered an area of 820,000 sqnare ‘milen. Now it is ee area. Then the regions west of Mississippi were foreign soil, known only as an unexplored "Pereasing tendency to'restrict the! ballot controlled by capitalists and corporations. Then the laborer sought a market for the product of his labor; how the laborer works for wages, only, and has no in erest in the sale of the manufactured article. “Then thers were but six small cities along the seacoast engaged in’ foreign trade; now the Atlantic and Gulf seaboard are lined with over 200 commercial cities, while the Pacific coast alone can boast of a commerce nearly equal to that of the entire republic 90 years ago. “Then there, were neither rail; Ways nor steamships. Now. steam‘ships sail on all navigable waters, ‘ while the railways within the United States, if extended in one continuous ‘line, would reach five times around the globe. Look where we, may ia every department of human activity, and we find that with the rapid increase in population and wealth, swith : the great changes in the relative con. dition of labor and capital, and in the . complications of property rights as . applied to great—corporations — anid commercial trusts, have arisen {new questions in the problems of government—such as could not have been foreseen at the time of the adoption of the fedgral constitution—questions worthy/6f the serious, thoughtful consideration of every citizen of the republic. ‘Among these are the complications of the land question. Large areas of the government lands are ‘being rapidly brought: under the control and ownership of great corporations and private capitalists. At the present this is seemingly aquestion affecting individuals, rather than national legislation, but the time is not far distant when the government lands will allebe sold. Then the question of modifying our immigration laws will receive far more attention thau it commands at pregent. . “America has so long been represented to the world as the u'timate home of the immigrant, and as the asylum for the oppressed of all nations, that unrestricted. immigration seems to have become one of those unwritten, laws in equity with which we have no right to tamper. But, while American soil is the rightful home of the industrious poor, ag well as of those who, under other governments, are unjustly oppressed because of their political opinions or religious creeds, yet it would be suicidal to our national peace and prosperity to place no restriction on the imnaigration of tice pauper and criminal classe: and communistic agitators who infest the old world. “The labor marke! is*already supplied, and what to do witii the heedy and worthy poor will soon become as serious question with this yovernment as it has already become with the governments of Europe. thoughtis that affecting the ballot. jMach a We may gondemn the ‘inor to-modify the immigration laws, yet this question is receiving greuter attention every year and is, destised to exert a controlling influence in saaping the policy of the grent. political’ parties in the near future. ' ‘The advantages to be derived from American citizenship, are ulready_ap. } “Running paratiel with this line of reasons for believing that, in every hour of danger, American patriotism will be equal to the occasion and will carry the nation successfully through all the dangers that beset the government, “But such dangers can not be averted by chance, They can only be overcome by the united and intelligent action of the people. This government has no existence except inthe will of the people. people. Its officers are its citizens, clothed with brief authority. “Tf those citizens are negligent of their political duties, or are indifferent to the questions affecting the national welfare, the government will be correspondingly weak and vascillating. “If on the contrary the government pursued a Wise and progressive policy it will be because a majority of the citizens maintain that policy. “Never, since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, was there greater need of political teachers than now;ofmen who can see beyond their prejudices ; of men of liberal culture and of broad views in political science :—of men gifted with an eloquence that will cause the heedless to think and rouse the sluggish to action. “But, where shall we apply for political wisdom? and to whom shall we look for instruction in these problems of national policy?, Shall we expect to find it in the debates in Congress? <x time was when the halls of Congress echoed with an eloquence which was felt and appreciated from the centre of the nation to its circumferenee; but modern legislation has been reduced to a. system of committee work and the days of congressional oratory are numbered among the things of the past. ~ “Shall. we look to the leaders of the great political parties or expect to find it in the harangues with which the rival candidates for office seek to win their way to popular favor? Information from such sources is liable to be biased by prejudice and tainted with selfishness, “Shall we hope to find it in the magazines and political papers which bring the news of the world daily to our very-doors? These seem to be the only remaining sources left for our consideration, but these too, are liable to reflect the selfish designs oftheir proprietors rather than a disinterested exposition of national affairs, and they have the further disadvantage of lacking persunality—that sympathetic magnetismt hut begets thought —that stirring eloquence that carries conviction and gives the orator such an influence over the thoughts and convictions of his hearers. sources of the political education of from a purer source—from our homes his horne—his mother—his God. “The education of the future citipreciated by the inhabitants of the British possessions on the north of us, and to a limited extent along the Mexican frontier on the south. Owing to this fact, our government may seen be called upon to decide the all impor-. tant question as to whethsr we shall still add other territory to our already broad domain, or whether we shall proclaimto the world, ‘Thus far, and no farther,shall be the ultimate bounds of this republic.” “There are some good reasons for annexation. Thesocial and commercial interests of the people of Canada are.already closely allied to those of the people ofthe United States. From amilitary point of view, annexation would seem to be very desirable, for then our government would control the navigation of the St. Lawrence—the only remaining river which eters our territory thut isnot already’ under the control of our military and naval authorities, But when we look to our southern boundary, we find a different state of affuirs—hereditary prejudices, diversity of race, commercial jealousies and other difficalties tocontend against which not only indicate that Mexico would not at present be a desirable addition to our territory. but raise the question «as to whether the present diversity of our population and commercial interest, we can hold. “When we refer to, the past history with which our diverse population has and harmonious citizenship; when we contemplate the wealth that has been amassed by the ever inérens ng magnitude of our commercial incor: esta, it would seem but natnral to conclude that the line of policy which has brought us so much success in the past, will, if persisted in, insure fua time in national, as well as in individual affairs, when the dictates of reason and prudence calla halt; when the national enterprises and the extent of the public domain, having grown to the ample proportions of full maturity, cannot further extend their ‘into “states and traaneane ‘thele very existence, and, like Napoleon, become overwhelmed in a Waterloo, and, in a single day, be swept from _. the highest pinnacle of worldly grangen, then, must commence with the ehild at heme.

The afternoon parade was neither as extensive nor as well gotten up as on several former occasions. It was of course excruciatingly ‘‘funney’’—that is, those persons who were not “taken off’ by the motley and remorselens throng of maskers laughed at some of the features of it. Some of the hits were very pointed, The exercises at the ‘‘grand stand” fell far short of the old-time standard in most respects, and were heard by but few persons owing to the bad arrangement of the stand.

Through these’pores in the form of insensible perspiration is expelled more than one-quarter of the nourishment taken into the system. The importance of keeping open these perspiration valves upon a child’s body. is second only to that of properly. digesting the food eaten. It was to open the pores ofthe skin and to assimilate the food that Dr. Pitcher formulated Castoria. Loss bowels, constipation, fevers and eruptions which @re so constant among infants and children, and which kill onethird of all children before they are five years old, arise principally from these two causes. It is from. the wonderful results attendant upon the use.of Castoria in regulating the stomach and bowels and keeping open the pores of the skin that Castoria acquired its world-wide reputation. With . plenty of water for the body, pure air for the lungs and Castoria to assimilate the food, there need be no unaccounted for sickness among children. Castoria is a vegetable prescription without morphine or other narcotic property. Thirty years’ extensive use has given it a history never attained by another medicine. Installation and Banguet.

The day set apart for. the celehration of the anniversary of American . Independence was duly observed in this city. Its approach was heralded hy the noise ‘of fire-crackera, the ringing of bells and the booming of canWn. When the sun was but an hour high the streets were alive with peope. At an early hour more people }ugan pouring in from the country aad neighboring towns, and by 10 c'clock the streets were thronged. Many of the business houses and dwellings were decorated with flags and bunting and the city--presented a uy appearance. : At ubout 11 o’clock the procession formed on B:vad x’ eet in the following order: ~ Erus.as Bond, Grand Marshal; Aids; Assistant Marshals ; Independent Band; Nevacla Light Guard; G. A. R. Veterans; Firemen; Car_ of Liberty ; Cfficers ‘of the Day and City Trustees in carriages. The procession was well arranged and very. attractive. The hose carts were beautifully decorated with flowers, gauze and flags, The Car of Eiberty drawa by six gray horses presented a magnificent. sight. Miss Lou Maltman, a very handsome young ladv, presided as Goddess, and there were on the car with lier acharming collection. of younger girls representing the States of the Union. ~The various organizations presented a fine appearance and marched well. : THE EXERCISES. Every available seat, and almost every inch of standing room in the Theater was occupied. First on the program was music by the band, followed by eloquent opening remarks by the President, B. N. Shoecraft. Rev. C.McKelvey invoked divine blessing upon the country. The chorus of the ‘‘Red, White and Blue” was well sung bya large number of ‘children under Prof. Davis’ leadership. -Geo. A. Watson read the Declaration of Independence with -excellent effect. Miss Esther Ogden recited in asplendid manner ‘‘The Flower of Liberty” by Oliver Wendell Holmes. There was a fine male quar tette. E. M. Preston then delivered an address substantially as follows: “Once more,in the full title of years? we have assembled to celebrate the birth of our nation—of a nation whose birth was heralded to the world in the grandest declaration of the rights of man that was ever piomulgated by a downtrodden and oppressed people! “We hold these truths to be selfevident. That all men are created equal; that they are endowed, by their Creator’ with certain inalienable rights. That among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed? —i “The. King of Great Britain, the monarchs of Europe, and other authors of human oppression who read this declaration trembled as they read, for within those brief sentences were contained the germs of revolution—of that revolution to a freedom and a political thrones tremble, and to cause the foundations of imperial monarchies to crumble and decay -beneath — the and freedom of the human race. “We have assembled, as millions of our countrymen have assembled today, to commemorate the thrilling évents which have established our national liberties, and to felicitate ourselves upon the civil, social and material blessings which have come down to us with this grand heritage of freedom. The dawn of this auspicious day was heralded by the glad pealing of bells, commemorative of the first bell that tolled for liberty in the State House at PhiJadelphia. The booming of cannon and the rattling of musketry remind us of the perils and privations endured by our Revolutionary forefathers in their long and vexatious struggle for independence. “Our eitizen. aoldieras who led the procession are typical of the minute men of the Revolution—ready’ to. respond totheir country’s call at the sounding of the first note of alarm—a fact which is eloquently confirmed by the presence, in our midst of the Mexican Veterans and the. members of the G. A, R.—veterans from bloody battle fields of wars which were succeasfully waged for the preservation of this government as well as for the of the States of this Republic—a union which was: beautifully typified by the car of liberty in a living picture which is reproduced on this stage—Columbia, the beautiful Goddess of Liberty, surrounded by the sisterhood of States the federal union. i ‘*No thoughtful American who contemplates this scene and reflects upon ita significance can be insensible to the hope andthe desire that the future of our republic may be as bright ‘and beautiful, as peaceful and happy, as this picture in lionery which togladdens us by its presence.Oe ee aware of the fact that there is a clase. of persons who seem to take little interest in these commemorative ceremonies—that there are individuals who ao in Oto power of the increasing intelligence 4 potnpand ceremony—that there are those who characterize 4th of July orations ‘as “patr.otic gush,’ and these spectacular parades as ‘burnt powder, fuss and feathers.’ “Out upon all such unpatriotic sentiments as these! Letuscondemn, in. unmeasured terms of disapprobation, the tendency to belittle the significance of these popular methods of celebrating this zreat epoch in our national history. ‘It'is doubtless true that the 4th of July orators may sometimes indulge ina little vainglorious boasting—that in their zeal and enthusiasm for the cause they may sometimes outstep the strict bounds of oratorical propriety, but notwithstanding all these objections, there is, underlying these demonstrations and pervading such oratory, a spirit of patriotism, alové of country, a zeal and devotion to our country’s cause that not only perpetuates the memory of the great conflict for our National independence, but ‘also constitutes the very foundation of our liberties and insures the perpetuity of our government. “We do not deny—we would not deny if we could, that these sentiments are as old as the Declaration of Independence, nor that they have been tol, over and over again, from the time of the thrilling eloquence of our Revolutlonarsy: e3-ca_dotn_t the—plainpre= saiv narratives of our Own day; but is this circumstance to be urged aga reason why we should remain silent while others have said so much on these glowing themes? The child at its mother’s knee telis over and over again its confidence in a mother’s love and devotion, but is the story any the less welcome to the fond mother’s ear because of its repetition? “So we, the children of our common country, rejoicing in our heritage . of freedom, will continue to assemble on each recurring anniversary of our Nation’s independence to recount the deeds by which our freedom’ was won, and to keep alive a patriotic devotion by which alone that freedom can be maintained. _ “It is in this’ spirit that we have assembled to-day—not as members of a political party, to discuss partisan issues; not as devotees of any religious sect to advocate a religious dogma, or restrict the rights of individual conscience ; notas scheming inhabitants of any local section of the country, to combat the rights of any other section ; notas business men, intent on individual gain or internal improvements, not forjself, to-day, but for country, as Americans to set apart one day in the yearon which we may step beyond the boundaries of party and creed, rise into a pureratmosphere than that of selfishness, and, while looking out on the broad field of our National achievements, rejoice in-our nation’s prosperity.”’ After reviewing the elements of strength, greatness and prosperity of the nation, Mr. Preston continued follows : “The desire for unrestricted traffic between the colonists proved a powerful bond of union which . ultimately led to the erganization of a federal repoblic, and thus upom American soil there was established for the first time in the history of the world a government in which the democratic idea is associated with that of federation—in which a republic was created by the political union between several self-governing states or democracies. “In the organization of this republic, history ends its records of man’s struggle against imperial tyranny, and begins its records of the rightful sovereignty. of man in a nation that is actually governing itself. “The true greatness of our nation equality which was destined to make /Cemtres in the development of these progressive ideas—the self sovereignty } of man, and civil and political equality before the law. ‘In the developnient of these progressive principles runs the fature line of human progress and on the ultimate success or failure of this great experiment of self government hang the future destinies of the human race. “What then is to be the fate of this American idea? Who is able to forecast its futare? “An orator of Revolutionary fame luas told us that, that ‘there is no Way of judging the future, but by the past.’ “In reviewing the history of this republic we find abundant reasons for encourage:ent in the rapid advancement in wealth and population ; in the success with which the government has dealt with the great social problems; in the victories of her armies and in the loyalty and patriotiem of her citizens. : “But while these evidences of national strength give us excellent reasons for predicting the endurance of our form of government, yet we must not forget that we’ can only safely judge the future of this nation by the past, so long as the conditions remain the same. Changes have already occurred which renfers the problems of legislation far more difficult than ose which confronted Congress at the time of the adoption of the federal constitution, “Phen: theré were but ihree millions of people in the union. Now there aré more than sixty millions. Tn the year 1800 the entire territory of the United States covered an area of 820,000 sqnare ‘milen. Now it is ee area. Then the regions west of Mississippi were foreign soil, known only as an unexplored "Pereasing tendency to'restrict the! ballot controlled by capitalists and corporations. Then the laborer sought a market for the product of his labor; how the laborer works for wages, only, and has no in erest in the sale of the manufactured article. “Then thers were but six small cities along the seacoast engaged in’ foreign trade; now the Atlantic and Gulf seaboard are lined with over 200 commercial cities, while the Pacific coast alone can boast of a commerce nearly equal to that of the entire republic 90 years ago. “Then there, were neither rail; Ways nor steamships. Now. steam‘ships sail on all navigable waters, ‘ while the railways within the United States, if extended in one continuous ‘line, would reach five times around the globe. Look where we, may ia every department of human activity, and we find that with the rapid increase in population and wealth, swith : the great changes in the relative con. dition of labor and capital, and in the . complications of property rights as . applied to great—corporations — anid commercial trusts, have arisen {new questions in the problems of government—such as could not have been foreseen at the time of the adoption of the fedgral constitution—questions worthy/6f the serious, thoughtful consideration of every citizen of the republic. ‘Among these are the complications of the land question. Large areas of the government lands are ‘being rapidly brought: under the control and ownership of great corporations and private capitalists. At the present this is seemingly aquestion affecting individuals, rather than national legislation, but the time is not far distant when the government lands will allebe sold. Then the question of modifying our immigration laws will receive far more attention thau it commands at pregent. . “America has so long been represented to the world as the u'timate home of the immigrant, and as the asylum for the oppressed of all nations, that unrestricted. immigration seems to have become one of those unwritten, laws in equity with which we have no right to tamper. But, while American soil is the rightful home of the industrious poor, ag well as of those who, under other governments, are unjustly oppressed because of their political opinions or religious creeds, yet it would be suicidal to our national peace and prosperity to place no restriction on the imnaigration of tice pauper and criminal classe: and communistic agitators who infest the old world. “The labor marke! is*already supplied, and what to do witii the heedy and worthy poor will soon become as serious question with this yovernment as it has already become with the governments of Europe. thoughtis that affecting the ballot. jMach a We may gondemn the ‘inor to-modify the immigration laws, yet this question is receiving greuter attention every year and is, destised to exert a controlling influence in saaping the policy of the grent. political’ parties in the near future. ' ‘The advantages to be derived from American citizenship, are ulready_ap. } “Running paratiel with this line of reasons for believing that, in every hour of danger, American patriotism will be equal to the occasion and will carry the nation successfully through all the dangers that beset the government, “But such dangers can not be averted by chance, They can only be overcome by the united and intelligent action of the people. This government has no existence except inthe will of the people. people. Its officers are its citizens, clothed with brief authority. “Tf those citizens are negligent of their political duties, or are indifferent to the questions affecting the national welfare, the government will be correspondingly weak and vascillating. “If on the contrary the government pursued a Wise and progressive policy it will be because a majority of the citizens maintain that policy. “Never, since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, was there greater need of political teachers than now;ofmen who can see beyond their prejudices ; of men of liberal culture and of broad views in political science :—of men gifted with an eloquence that will cause the heedless to think and rouse the sluggish to action. “But, where shall we apply for political wisdom? and to whom shall we look for instruction in these problems of national policy?, Shall we expect to find it in the debates in Congress? <x time was when the halls of Congress echoed with an eloquence which was felt and appreciated from the centre of the nation to its circumferenee; but modern legislation has been reduced to a. system of committee work and the days of congressional oratory are numbered among the things of the past. ~ “Shall. we look to the leaders of the great political parties or expect to find it in the harangues with which the rival candidates for office seek to win their way to popular favor? Information from such sources is liable to be biased by prejudice and tainted with selfishness, “Shall we hope to find it in the magazines and political papers which bring the news of the world daily to our very-doors? These seem to be the only remaining sources left for our consideration, but these too, are liable to reflect the selfish designs oftheir proprietors rather than a disinterested exposition of national affairs, and they have the further disadvantage of lacking persunality—that sympathetic magnetismt hut begets thought —that stirring eloquence that carries conviction and gives the orator such an influence over the thoughts and convictions of his hearers. sources of the political education of from a purer source—from our homes his horne—his mother—his God. “The education of the future citipreciated by the inhabitants of the British possessions on the north of us, and to a limited extent along the Mexican frontier on the south. Owing to this fact, our government may seen be called upon to decide the all impor-. tant question as to whethsr we shall still add other territory to our already broad domain, or whether we shall proclaimto the world, ‘Thus far, and no farther,shall be the ultimate bounds of this republic.” “There are some good reasons for annexation. Thesocial and commercial interests of the people of Canada are.already closely allied to those of the people ofthe United States. From amilitary point of view, annexation would seem to be very desirable, for then our government would control the navigation of the St. Lawrence—the only remaining river which eters our territory thut isnot already’ under the control of our military and naval authorities, But when we look to our southern boundary, we find a different state of affuirs—hereditary prejudices, diversity of race, commercial jealousies and other difficalties tocontend against which not only indicate that Mexico would not at present be a desirable addition to our territory. but

raise the question «as to whether the present diversity of our population and commercial interest, we can hold. “When we refer to, the past history with which our diverse population has and harmonious citizenship; when we contemplate the wealth that has been amassed by the ever inérens ng magnitude of our commercial incor: esta, it would seem but natnral to conclude that the line of policy which has brought us so much success in the past, will, if persisted in, insure fua time in national, as well as in individual affairs, when the dictates of reason and prudence calla halt; when the national enterprises and the extent of the public domain, having grown to the ample proportions of full maturity, cannot further extend their ‘into “states and traaneane ‘thele very existence, and, like Napoleon, become overwhelmed in a Waterloo, and, in a single day, be swept from _. the highest pinnacle of worldly grangen, then, must commence with the ehild at heme. The youth in the publie. school should be regularly tuught the blessings which flow fronz our system ‘of government as con. trasted with the-monarchical governments of the Old World, as well as in the duties and responsibilities which will rest upon them as the future citizens of the republic. ; “Tt is equally important that the colleges and universities through the country should adopt special courses in the science of government, for the futare policy of this nation-can be safely ouilined only by men of liberal ecclture, skillful in political science, while the wagnitude of onr national enterprises needs men of deeplearning and broud views that they may be.capable of directing legislation so as to regulate but not to ruin commercial enterprises. “Te has been truthfully said’ that this is 4 government of the people, by the people and for the people.’ Itisa government in which every individual wields some degree of influence affecting the welfare of the nation, ‘Upon the shoulders of every citizen rests in some degree the responsibility for the ultimate success or tailure of this great experiment of self government, “Such being the natuie of our oblicourage any reasonable means of arousing the patriotic devotion of the Day, or the more enduring influences “With an awakened consciousness of these far-reaching responsibilities which rest upon-as-as-American-citi-— zens, let us hope that we, with all other good citizens of the republic will go forth from this celebration of our National Independence inspired with zea) as shill cause our Nation to adyadce from one degree of greatness to another, maintaining the victories we have already achieved, und adding new luster to the bright pages of our blessings of popular edacation and political freedom, from state to state, from government to government, from nations from imperial oppression, ele“Objectionable as these may appear, these are, at present, the principal the masses, but patriotism, that true love of country which constitutes the real strength of this republic, sp rings ~—from our peaceful firesides, where the child at his mother’s knee first learns that the preservation of the government meaas the protection of our homes—where he learns that his dutyto the nation means his’ duty to country’s history, thus diffusing the .

The afternoon parade was neither as extensive nor as well gotten up as on several former occasions. It was of course excruciatingly ‘‘funney’’—that is, those persons who were not “taken off’ by the motley and remorselens throng of maskers laughed at some of the features of it. Some of the hits were very pointed, The exercises at the ‘‘grand stand” fell far short of the old-time standard in most respects, and were heard by but few persons owing to the bad arrangement of the stand.
