become historical. The animosities aroused then have died out from the minds of the intelligent descendants of the colonists. They hold with the signers of the Declaration of Independence that the English in peace are friends. It Is equally true that orange silk and orange plumes recall Incidents that should provoke no animosities on this side of the ocean to day. If paraders with the orange are attacked It Is the duty of the authorities to punish the men responsible for the disorder, and if the green flag Is attacked in a parade the same duty rests upon the authorities.

The Boston riot would have been bad enough on any day, but It was especially disgraceful on Independence day. are barred in the race for the pennant. Brooklyn has beaten Boston four games out of five, which is more than any other team has done. It it has also beaten Baltimore throe games out of six and Baltimore is at the head of the procession. So it will be seen that instead of feeling discouraged the home enthusiasts have every reason to anticipate better results than was the case earlier in the season.

The trouble with the club in the past has invariably been that it was slaughtered when away from home. Perhaps this was due to the fatigue of travel, it may have been attributable to the bulldozing tactics of Western hoboes, or as usual, the umpire was to blame. Whatever the cause It must be admitted that the public has become weary of explanations which do not explain, and that there will be much disappointment if the Brooklyns do not, at all events, make as good a showing as they have done recently on the home grounds. This second Western trip should beat the record. mortgage at a glance.

The appointment, in fact, is one that could not well be improved upon, and Is satisfactory. County Clerk Saffen has appointed Warren Treadwell as the expert in his office. All that has been said of Mr. Creighton can with equal truth be said of Mr. Tread well.

He has been connected with the county clerk's office for many years and his whole business training Is In the direct line of satisfactory equipment for the position. Both appointments are in the public interest, and naturally, are a sore disappointment to the politicians. Of course, there must be a fly In the ointment. The salaries for these positions are made a county charge, and the board of supervisors Is to fix the amounts. This they have done by passing a resolution making the salary $4,000 yearly for each expert The amount Is too large and Is much In excess of what would be a fair return for the services rendered.

Supervlsor at Large Fltchle will do well If he promptly vetoes this resolution and the supervisors should come to their senses and name a reasonable amount as compensation for these positions. If they will do that, they will accomplish something which they rarely succeed in doing viz: serve the Interests of the taxpayers. have received from the Tammany society to participate In Its celebration of tbe one hundred ana nineteenth anniversary of American Independence. The patriotism and devotion of those who fought for our liberties and established our free government ought always to tie held in grateful remembrance, and neither lapse of years nor changed conditions should ever detract from the lest ami enthusiasm of their commemoration. The thought must not escape us, liowever, that while every anniversary of American Independence reminds us of the stern sacrifices of the fathers of the republic, and while on such occasions we find abundant cause for rejoicing in the splendor of their achievements, we should not fall to be seriously Impressed by a proper apprehension of the duties and responsibilities wo have inherited as" their successors and legatees.

It was their, lot to endure the rigors and hardships of a discouraging war, in order that a' government by the people might be established. We cannot without wicked recreancy disregard the lessonB taught by their sufferings, nor can we without disgrace neglect the duty of preserving and maintaining in their Integrity and strength the free Institutions born of their heroism. Their work was done through privation and In the' midst of doubt and gloom. Our duty can be well performed If we arc simply honest, intelligent and patriotic. They found their danger on battlefields and in the uncertain Issue of an armed contest.

Our danger i3 found In the recklessness of selfishness and in Insidious appeals to popular passion and thoughtlessness. Nothing but the. same patriotic steadfastness and adherence to principle which led to their success will now shield our government from disaster and preserve our national glory and prosperity. I earnestly hope' that the oelbratlon contemplated by your organization will stimulate those who are within its inSuence to do valiant deeds in the political field, and. amid present perplexities, to teach by example and declaration the potency of adherence to sound and consistent principles, and the safety of a reliance upon the honor and patriotism of our countrymen when Impending danger arouses them to activity.

Yours very truly, GROVER CLEViBIiAND. Gray Gables, June 28. two the very men against whom circumstances 'are now strongest. The poor warden was dazed at the calamity which had overtaken him; so dazed that he let Schoen go home to breakfast as usual without a guard, and that he did not dare to have Schneer, who was in the prison, but not under arrest searched to see if any of the fruits of bribery could be found on him. If there has been bribery the chances of tracing It are very much diminished by this slow gathering of the warden's faculties.

Altogether it is only too clear that the wits behind the bars In Ludlow street are much brighter than those in front and that unless the reform government In New York wants to be a laughing stock It should do something about Its prison. Noisy Bleycl in Sayvlllo. The people of Sayvllle, L. complain that their church services are disturbed on Sundays by the wheelmen who ride through their village. Plans and specifications are not furnished with the complaint It has always been supposed that the wheelman was at a disadvantage In the making of noise.

His rubber wheels skim over the gravel without making more than two thirds as much racket as a dray or farm wagon, or even an ambulance on a city street. It Is certain that the Joy of expression so common to the chowder club Is cruelly denied to the rider on a wheel, because his hands are busy and he cannot ring bells and thump drums and pans and throw cobbles through the windows and set off cannon crackers and fire revolvers. Again, It has been believed that cycling requires all of man's wind that he can spare, so that he Is not inclined to waste any of It in jeers and gibes, like a chowder party, or a member of congress. He cannot use the combination of hands and lungs that is required in the blowing of horns and brass instruments. His feet are continuosly so that he cannot get up on people's verandas and execute jigs.

The difficulty of ascending grades with the present gearing seldom disposes him to ride uproariously up the church and town hall steps. The objection to weighting the machine with needless things has restrained him from providing it with mechanical attachments, like gongs, whistles, tambourines, devlllnes, cymbals, bass drums, bull fiddles and hand organs. He usually has a pretty fair load carrying himself. These things being thus, we are disposed to think twice, or even ttiree times, before vouching for the truth of the complaint in Sayvllle. And the more w.e think about it the more we think the morality of Sayvllle is not quite what It ought to be.

We do not say that the real author of the allegation Is a disappointed livery stable keeper who has ceased to find a profit In offering horses for use at their full value every two hours, nor would we even venture any Insinuations against the man who has had to buy cycles for each of his six girls and has seen them in bloomers. Nor would we Insist that one of the complalners goes to meeting In a wagon whose creaking and rattling sound abroad for a half mile and denote his coming as paragraphs denote the coming of the newest English actor. But we do think, more, and more, that somebody out In Sayvllle is a that Is, that he is practicing for the place, of. advance agent for a circus. Captain Howgate, an old offender, has been sentenced to prison for eight years for stealing and forgery.

He has taken his sentence coolly, because he knows that every trick known to the law will now be resorted to In order to save him from punishment. Value of tbo Compromise. The Union County Roadsters of Railway, N. evidently believe that an organization should earn the money which it receives. The roadsters made arrangements for bicycle races in Rahway on the Fourth of July and engaged the Rahway cornet band to play in the parade and to give a concert during the races.

It rained In the afternoon and the parade and races were indefinitely postponed. A committee of tho roadsters notified the bond of the change in the programme. The members of the band announced that they were ready to perform their part of the programme and that they would de mand the amount of money agreed upon as their pay. The roadsters did not pro pose to be bluffed and they told the band that it must fulfill its contract if it expected to get the money and ordered the band to parade the streets in the rain and then to go to the track and give the concert A committee of the wheelmen followed the band to see that It did all that the contract called for. After getting wet several members of It refused to stay out in the rain any longer and it became Impossible for the baud to do as It had agreed.

Then all went home. Now the musicians and the cycle club will fight over the amount that the band should receive. This incident Illustrates the wisdom of standing on one's rights and Insisting under changed circumstances on all that the law allows. The game of bluff that was played by both sides did not result as expected because each side had greater spirit of a certain kind than the other had counted on. We commend to the consideration of the musicians and wheelmen of Rahway the value of the compromise in settling disagreements of all kinds.

This device has been of inestimable value in politics and it can be used with advantage in other affairs. Investigate KiUdlOyW Street Jail. The escape of the three noted burglars and bank thieves from Ludlow street yesterday is the cleverest jail delivery which has been accomplished for a good while. The circumstances indicate very forcibly bribery of the keepers and collusion on their part, but they also show that the administration of the jail under Sheriff TamBen is exceedingly lax. The suspected keepers may be able to show, of course, that the escape was due to the loose and free and easy plan on which the prison was run, aud it requires no investigation to prove that if the system had not been pretty bad even bribery could not have succeeded.

The three prisoners are Allen, Killoran nnd Russell, very eminent "crooks." against whom robberies to the extent of $25,000 or more stand waiting to be proved, and who were almost certain to receive long sentences in Sing Sing If they were brought to trial. When they were first Incarcerated they succeeded in getting disguising shaves over Sunday in Ludlow street and thus threw off the track several bank and post office officials who had come to New York to Identify them In connection with heavy robberies. Next the men made a sensation by attempting to bribe the keepers with sums variously stated at from to $5,000. That story was investigated by the sheriff, and after it the prisoners were supposed to be kept under the specially strict watch which their eminence as bad men entitled them to. In the face of all these precautions they walked out of jail in broad daylight, armed with anywhere from one to three revolvers, with which they intimidated such stray pursuers as came closest to them in a tortuous flight across the housetops of New York.

Every morning at 8 o'clock these men were given a walk in the Jail yard. They were allowed to walk through two corridors and down one winding flight of steps alone. There they came upon Keeper Edward A. Schneer, a fat and good natured German who is a hold ovor from the Tammany days. The keeper who unlocks the cells should ring a bell under the rules to warn, the men below that prisoners are coming, and Schneer should be locked In the corridor with the prisoners, having no keys to facilitate a Journey to the jail yard, these being in the hands of Head Keeper McCabe, two corridors away.

Yesterday none of these rules was obeyed. That about ringing the bell has been a dead letter for a long time. The failure of the other is suspicious. McCabe is due at 8 o'clock, but had not reached the prison when the escape was made. Charles Schoeu sits and holds the keys till he comes.

Yesterday Schoen went to a closet in Schneer's corridor, handing the keys to Schneer and telling him to hold onto them until Schoen came out While he was in the closet tho three prisoners came down the stairs over Schoen's head. He says they came so quietly on the Iron stairway that he did not hear them. They hold a pistol at Schneer's head he thinks there were three pistols nnd there seems no reason for doubting that there was at least one pistol in the party and shouted "hands up!" If Schneer had been brought up in the Rocky mountain stage coach country he could not have obeyed more promptly, and while two men covered him with revolvers the third unlocked the way to the street remained and locked in the keepers after his companions had passed, and then pursued an easy course to liberty. The accompanying circumstances make the story additionally suspicious. For Instance, Schneer says that as soon as the muzzles of the pistols were pointed somewhere else he began shouting all sorts of alarms.

The police, of whom enough to run a ward primary were strolling along the. other side of Ludlow street, say they did not hear any cries till the prisoners and the street mob which they had gathered in their wake had turned one corner and were out of sight Just as the prisoners came out of the jail and started one way with tlie street tag at their heels a man started running down another street shouting "Stop thief." If the escape had been planned and an accomplice had been on the ground to help It he could not have been hidre effective. Lastly Warden Raabe was sure that the prisoners could have had neither money nor revolvers, as he bad had them searched and special watch kept for those things. Asked who dld the searching the warden said Keepers Schneer, Schoen and one other, the first Entercd at the Brooklyn. N.

The new EaRt river nritljre commissioners held a meeting on Wednesday at which Colouel liuird announced that in order to prevent miscarriage of plans by prematuro publication in the newspapers It would be necessary to conduct the proceedings for the most part in executive session. The colonel's method of stating the case was more peremptory than conditions actually warrant, but there can bo no Question tbat his objection is sound so far at least as certain phases of bridge development are concerned. For example, the commissioners will have to acquire a jp eat deal of property in New York and Brooklyn, and it will readily be seen that this will afford a vast opportunity to the real estate speculators.

Should it become known what pieces of property they contemplated purchasing, the inevitable tendency would be to send up prices, and at this rate there would be no telling where expenditure would cease. There Is nothing more sensitive than real estate to change in business or municipal conditions, and It is undoubtedly to the best interests of the now structure that the commissioners should not be hampered in their acquisition of property by the premature disclosure of their plans. This does not mean. however, that the public should be kept in the dark ns to what action is taken. Once acquired, the price paid for a piece of property and also the circumstances attending its purchase are matters concerning which the public Is entitled to bo informed.

Xor should the commissioners make the mistake of supposing that they cannot easily bankrupt themselves in the confidence of the people by carrying to an extreme the policy outlined by Colonel Baird. They may as well understand at the beginning that every one of their acts will eventually see daylight, although publication concerning them may temporarily bo postponed for reasons of expediency. They may as well understand that instead of assuming a dictatorial tone to the press as Colonel Baird does, they will be the gainers by taking the newspapers and the public into their confidence on all questions which do not manifestly come within the realm of private discussion. And in drawing the line they will be wise to give the public the benefit of the doubt. Ii is announced that before auv ap pointments are made such as those of chief engineer, assistant engineer and counsel, the commissioners intend to consider fully the value of the franchise which the East River Bridge company has at its disposal.

When the project of a new structure was under way it was expected that this company would build tlie bridge. It obtained its franchise and its plans were approved by the secretary of war. In the actual work of bridge construction It did nothing but dig a hole In either city, and, Micawber like, wait for something "to turn up." Something has turned up. If the plans prepared by the engineers of the company are deemed the best available by the commissioners, a fair price should be paid for them. But as Commissioner Deeves says, the cities want a dollar's worth of franchise and of plan f0 erory one hundred cents which tney "may pay out.

Starting Went Afraiu. President Byrne of the Brooklyn Base Ball club announces that he and his business associates are satisfied with the showing which the home team has made since its return from Its Western trip. There Is ample reason for this expression of satisfaction, for since the disastrous tour West the Brooklyn players have done better than any other team in the league with the single exception of Baltimore. Vitum the'past few weeks they have ad vanced from ninth place to sixth and the percentages of those ahead of them are so meager that it would be absurd thus to the season to suppose that they Commissioner Welles' Opportunity. The convincing the average politician that an important appointment In the police department is not to be made the spoil of partisan politics is well illustrated by the efforts made by the spoils hunters to Influence the naming of the successor to the late Inspector Rellly.

This, perhaps, is not to be wondered at, when it is borne in mind that the principal uses of a police force, according to the heeler's idea. Is to furnish places. The advent of a number of delegations of politicians from the eastern district, at headquarters, urging the appointment of a certain police captain to the vacant Inspectorship, therefore, is not at all surprising. The interest centers chiefly In noting the degree of influence which these delegations may exercise. It is to be hoped that the result of their efforts will be such as to teach the politicians a lesson.

The mere fact that the appointment of a particular captain Is urged by them should be sufficient to put his selection out of the question. No matter how good an officer he may bo, and It Is to be presumed that his record is a good one, the fact that his appointment would he acceptable and is desired by the men to whom the idea that public office Is a public trust Is unintelligible, argues that he possesses some qualities which commend him to that class. If he did not these political delegates would grow greyheaded before they would take the trouble to visit police headquarters in his Interest. It may be the misfortune of the ambitious police official that the commissioner should be urged to take this view of the situation. It Is one of those cases where a man may pray to be saved from his friends, but the urgency of those friends in this particular Instance should be the very thing that should put this officer out of the race.

Commissioner Welles would do well if he should allow it to be understood that the man whose appointment Is urged by delegations of politicians is the last man who will be chosen. He would serve the community by letting such an understanding go out and would confer a lasting benefit upon the police department Such a decision would go farther to lift it out of the rut of partisan politics than any single act of the commissioner during his term. It Is a golden opportunity to strike a telling blow for genuine civil service reform, where it will do the most good. A Club With fanny Houses. Oliver Sumner Teall has said, out loud, what a good many New York men have been thinking for some time.

He advocates the establishment of a big club with 200 houses. Each of these houses will be a saloon. There will be no limit to the number of members, but each member will have to be elected, and he will pay an initiation fee of half a dollar and annual dues of half a dollar more. What will be done with these half dollars Mr. Teall does not say.

Perhaps they will be applied to the continuance of municipal and excise reform. A member of this club can sit in any one of the 200 club houses and drink beer all day on Sunday, while he looks out In patient commiseration on the citizen with a hot throat who rushes madly and vainly up and down the public ways looking over transoms and trying side doors. The club idea is good enough, but why limit it to 200 houses? Every saloon may become a club hotise, and New York may be so full of clubs that the club man vote will engage the attention of the politicians to the exclusion of all else. About the time the club or clubs are fairly at their Sunday work, however, the legislature may be expected to undo some of the work of its predecessors, and one can then have a glass of beer without belonging to anything, If he has 5 cents. Tho Forty seventh's Rainy Fourth The rain yesterday spoiled the fun for the Forty seventh regiment in the camp at Peeksklll, as well as for lots of other people.

A sham battle, which had been planned to take the form of an attack and defense of the camp was on the day's programme, but the elements were In control, and the puny efforts of man at mimic war had to give way before the real conflict of the forces of nature. The delayed evolutions, it Is understood, will be made today. The unpleasant weather had the effect of spoiling the pleasure of the large number of visitors from the home city, who were expected to go up to tlie camp yesterday and see the good work which the Forty seventh is capable of doing. Many persons were not dissuaded by the morning's lowering clouds from making the trip, but they found the shelter of the tents the most interesting situation of the day. Erotic Novels and Divorce.

John Oliver Hobbes has secured a divorce from her husband on the ground of cruelty and unfaithfulness. John Oliver Hobbes is the name under which Mrs. Pearl Craigie has written several novels. She is one of those young English women who say things In their books that make blush men who read them. Her novels have proved that she thinks on subjects which no heali minded woman devotes much attention to.

The perversion of the sexual relation Is a good thing for physicians to discuss with a view to curing the disease, but when young women write about it in books one is inclined to suspect the moral and physical condition of the young women. Mrs. Craigie' evidently does not like to come Into close contact with the thing of which she writes, or she would have sued her husband for divorce. She will doubtless use her new experience as the basis for a new novel. If the new woman croze will produce a few women who will write healthy novels, it can be endured for a Farewell to ITIIdlotlclnit, The voice of the Old Man Eloquent will be heard In the house of commons no more.

Fifteen parliaments have come and gone since he began to make his mark and the world began to see it. Deep in the bosom of the past sleep all the Go liahs of his earlier days. The era of his richer promise is peopled with majestic shadows. Since the old age of his youth set in a hundred Hotspurs of debate have fallen from their saddles, a hundred battle plumes have drooped to nod no more. Few who were worthy of his steel in even the fullness of his powers survive to show the scars of conflict.

The wizard of Westminster has laid down his wand. It will fail into no other grasp. It is be queathed to nobody, for In his hand Ho held the brand That none but he could wlelJ. To the electors of Midlothian has been ent a farewell letter. It bears the name of William Ewart.

Gladstone. Without the name nnd without the allusions which betray the writer its authorship could never be discovered. The touch that made the sparks fly is wanting. It is less remarkable for what it says than for what It falls to say. The absence of fire and energy is conspicuous but not astonishing.

The letter comes from a man who has souuded all the depths and shoals of honor and who writes as though he had begun to feel within him a peace above all earthly dignities. It takes little or no advantage of an opportunity glit tering and tempting, it rings with no call to arms, it is freighted with no resolve nnd it sounds no charge along the whole liberal line. So far from being illumined by a glance Into a more or less hopeful nnd alluring future. It Is burdened with the past, with what is behind and not before, with what has been done nnd not. what is to be done.

It might have been a torch, a breath to fan expiring flames, a dynamo to charge the party wires with a current irresistible. It might have been a trumpet, an inspiration, rallying cry: it might have at least emphasized the fact that another of his fathom the liberals have not to do their business. Twenty years ago, and not so long as that, a letter from such a source under anything like such conditions would have been volcanic, would have set tlie echoes flying. It Is a gentle falling of the curtain. With nothing theatrical nbont his exit an actor who has had the world for an audience retires from the stage.

lie makes no bid for a final ovation, a parting storm of plaudits; he resists the Impulse that stirs the old war horse when the smoke of battle is scented from afar. There is just one touch of the pathetic in what, he has to say to his Midlothian constituents apnrt from the pathos inseparable from a great man's farewell words, whatever they may be but it manifestly springs from no desire to give rein to his emotions or to play on those of others. In short, with dignity, with calmness, with something not remote from real humility, Gladstone, the gladiator, slips out of harness. lie goes while yet he has the power to thrust and parry, while yet his tongue Is tipped with silver, while he is still, with perhaps one exception, the most commanding figure of his time. He joins the man of blood and iron in seclusion.

The difference between tliern is that the lottery of Bismarck's destiny barred him the right of voluntary choosing: his scene shifter was an emperor. The grim chancellor and the amiable old statesman are out of business. They are twins In nothing but eminence, long public service, advanced years and retirement. In most things they duplicate each other about as thoroughly as fire resembles water; in real greatness there Is a Siamese ligature between them. A Chance for Snpcrvlsor Fitcliic.

The last legislature passed a bill in the closing hours of the session providing for the appointment of expert clerks in the county clerk's and register's ofllces. It was known as the Wieman bill, from Its Introducer und the purpose of it was to guard against the tiling of imperfect and incorrect deeds and other documents which specially pertain to real estate. It often happens that through lack of knowledge of legal requirements or un fnmilinrlty with technicalities documents are offered for filing which are full of Imperfections that would be apparent to the eye of an expert, but which might pass unchallenged through the hands of one not familiar with legal requirements. These imperfect deeds and other papers are very liable to come from sections of the city peopled by German citizens, who have employed a notarj of their own nationality whose familiarity with English may not be equal to the legal terminology of a deed or mortgage. Imperfect titles may thus result, and the law for the appointment of the experts is clearly in the public interest The fact that it provided for two places made it of interest to the politicians also, and it was supposed by them that the framer of the bill, at least, would be taken care of.

As soon as it became a law, both the county clerk and the register were beset with a throng of applicants, and the pressure for the places became considerable. Register Harman has settled the matter in his office by appointing Frederick Crelghton as the expert He is a man very well qualified for the post, has had thirty years' experience in the register's office, and Is able to detect the slightest flaw In' a deed or Rain as a Preventive of Disaster. While the rain yesterday prevented thousands of people from enjoying themselves In the way they had contemplated, it also reduced the number of accidents. Fewer cannons exploded than usual, and there were not many fires and the number of arrests was small. There were two deaths, however, which were probably due to the careless use of firearms, if they were not deliberate murders.

The killing of Mrs. Catharine Paetow, in Withers street, on Wednesday evening, will be considered accidental until It is shown that some one had a motive for shooting her. She was sitting in front of her house when the report of a gun was heard and she fell to the sidewalk. She lived long enough to tell her son that she had been shot. The case is remarkable, however, for the fact that the physicians who examined the body failed to find a bullet wound and said that death was due to heart disease.

They were technically correct, for the bullet had imbedded itself in the woman's henrt The wound was discovered by the undertaker. Whether this death was caused by careless or deliberate firing of a gun, it is the duty of the police to find the person responsible for it. If the man, woman or child who used the weapon is innocejit of evil intent, he or she will be wise to surrender to the police before an elaborate theory of deliberate murder is built up. It will be easier to convince the police before they have formed a conclusion than after. There is not so much doubt about the other death.

Katie Coyle, years old, was shot while playing in the window of a house in Sanford street. Another child, who was with her, saw an Italian loading a revolver at the rear of the house. After the accident the Italian gave himself up to tlie police. He was identified by the girl who saw him with the revolver. To call this a deliberate murder we must believe in a greater degree of depravity than has yet been manifested In a civilized country.

Men do not kill children for amusement. It is probable that the Italian knew little of the weapon that he was using aud that it went off unexpectedly. People use firearms on the Fourth of July who do not use them at any other time and it is surprising that more accidents do not happen. Aside from tlie two eases mentioned there were no serious disasters in this neighborhood. It is true that a few awnings were burned and that a lot of children blistered their fingers, but such things are expected and are not worthy of comment.

It was a wet day and the crowds which would have invited disaster did not gather. Boston Is DtKgraccd, It should not be possible for such a riot as that which disgraced Boston on Thursday to occur in this country. It was one of the most disgraceful incl deiitsthnt have marred the history of the city which is noted for Its culture and for its patriotism. The American Prescriptive association, improperly called the American Protective association, the Patriotic Sons of America, Orange lodges and other anti Catholic societies had a parade In the streets of the city. They had a right to parade.

Whatever we may think of their views or of their methods of propagating them, it is not possible to maintain with any degree of success that they violate any principle of government in holding those views or in attempting to induce others to hold them. The right of free speech, free thought and free action is guaranteed to every citizen by the constitution. Of course there are Insignificant modifications of these rights made necessary by the presence In the community of disorderly people. A man has not the right to Incite to arson or to murder. Society restricts the freedom of speech and the freedom of action by punishing men who attempt to overthrow It, and by Imprisoning men who interfere with the rights of its members, lae Boston procession was a legal and a proper procession.

The societies represented in It were acting within the letter and the spirit of the law, when they exhibited the symbols that represent the ideas which they uphold. If we deny to them the right to propagate their notions we set a precedent for the restriction of the liberties of others, and we restrict the freedom of thought and the freedom of speech within lines that were not laid down by the founders of the government We must admit the right of the paradera to parade. The mob, which under the lead of a drunken woman, attacked the rear of tlie procession because a woman wearing an orange gown was riding in a carriage, forgot that it was the Fourth of July, the day when we are reminded of the principles of freedom to establish which the revolutionary fathers fought Whatever may have been the belief of tlie members of the mob they have no greater right to hold that belief and to propagate it than any other class of citizens. If they have not learned this fact they have lived in this country in vain. There are Englishmen who have not been in America long enough to be able to listen to the reading of the Declaration of Independence without getting angry.
