DELOS BURLI NO A M E. Si/erville, Pa., Feb. 20, 1899. (Jen."Wheeler has gone to Manila. Republican State Convention ! Uig. '_M. This great big nation is boom- ! ing and calamity howlers are not ; in force now. The New Nation and the Old Fourth. One year ago the Spa nish war j reached its climax, and the Ameri can navy at Santiago completed the work started by Dewey at Manila two months before. It is doubtful whether for a long time to come the Nation will feel the same thrill that pervaded it then, for from one end of the land to the other the quickening impulse of a new life was known to be stirring. Dimly and without analyzing it, ali understood that a new nation was being born from the elements that had composed the old one. A broader American manhood was leaping into life and the day which commemorated the advent of the child one hundred and twenty-two years before marked the passage from swaddling clothes and short trousers to the full privileges and responsibilities of manhood. It is no idle whim to compare the growth of this nation to that of a man. In a far more serious way than most of us imagine that analogy hold good. When this country interfered with Spain in h< r management of the Cuban question, by that very act it as sumed the responsibily of solving the questions and problems that would grow out of Ihe changed situation. No longer relying on other nations to do what was right ia the premises, this country vol untary gave bonds that right would be done and the present Fourth of July finds u.- bringing to a close the various tasks that have con fronted us. The lititle American with liis small patriotism and bis s! : rtsiL'btednesr has not appreci ated the va'st results that have air ndy been accomplished but those who have gone deeper into the heart of things know that be tween to-day and this date last year the nation lias taken a most tremendous stride forward. it is well to remember the asso ciations that cluster so thickly around the inception of the day, but it is far better to call to mind what this year and this generation have done to make the day of greater significance than ever. The task set by the founders of the Nation in 177<» has been more than accomplished. The people carried out the plans then laid down for their guidance, but the time came when the Nation growing too large for its cramped conditions stretched itself and burst the restraining bonds with ease. The outcome lias been a new nation and a un ite! one, with ideas and aspirations that were scarcely dreamed of be fore. In one year, from Fourth of July to Fourth of July, we have moved from the position of a self-restrain ■ self-interest d an-i si'lf-distrust ful people to a Nation ready to take its full share of the responsi bilities and profits of the world's work. Thus while it is really the old day that we celebrate it is a New Nation that is doing the cele l.it ing. —Philadelphia Inquirer. Kicks said that July will open with 112; r weather, warmer about the third, storms from 3rd to sth, followed by cool weather after the 7th. About the 1 !h to 10th very warm weather and B'.'.inmer storms, with light ftorins during the balance of the month, ac companied hy blustering winds, light ning and thunder. Persons troubled with diarrhoea will be interested in the experience of Mr. V/. M. Bush, clerk of Hotel Dorraiice, Providence, R. I Ho says:"For several vears 1 have been almost a o.istant sufferer* from] diarrhoea, the frequent attacks completely prostrating Ei and rendering mc unfit for my duties at thialiotc l . About two years ago a traveling salesman kindly gave me a small bottle of Chamberlain's C .tic, Cholera and . )iar : Remedy. J i.'h to my -urpri • :ind delight its elects were immediate. Whenever 1 felt symptoms of the disease I would 112. rtify myself against the attack with a ft,, doses of this valuable remedy. The result has been very satisfactory and almost complete relief from tho afflic tion." For sale by L. Taggart. July WASHINGTON LETTER. (From our Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, July 10th. 1899. President McKinley has too much confidence in Americon and English common sense to share the fears expressed in some quarters, that the failure to agree on a boun dry line between Alaska and Can ada. which seems likely to result from Canada's attempt to play the grab game, will result in any break of the pleasant relations of the U. 8. and Great liritain. lb- realizes that the failure to agree will be the cause of considerable irritation, and possibly of some disputed ter ritory, but does not believe that it; will dangerously involve the two governments. I'he President is devoting much j of his time to the selection of ofli cers for the new volunteer regi ment, and hopes to complete the list this week. Gov. Roosevelt spent a day and night in Washing ton. upon the President's invitation for the purpose of giving his advice in regard lo the appointment of some of these officers. The present expectation is that the new regi ments will all be in service by Aug. 15. as the recruiting, which | was started to-day will be rapidly j pushed in all sections. Ex-Congressman r. O' lioilly.' * Col. Henderson received a warm welcome from his numerous Wasli | ington friends, during his stay of | several days in the city. Neither 1 his successful Speakership cam ! paign. nor the shoving up, by newspaper writers, of his military title to ''General," which seems to j have been at once accepted by the public in general—lion. Thos. J. Henderson, who represented the seventh Illinois district in the ; House from the -14 th to the rd Congress. was breveted Brigadier j General in the Civil War. but Hon. I). 15. Henderson never got higher in rank than Col. of the itith lowa ; infantry—has made the slightest j change in him. He greeted all his I friends from President McKinley down to the humblest private eiti j zen, in the same whole-souled way that has made him one of the most i popular men who ever sat in Con ! gress, and which probably also ! made him sure of becoming Speaker | of the House.

Boys ! should be given trades no matter how well off they may expect to be, for I there is no certainty but adversity may overtake them. Clerks who are em- j ployed behind a counter measuring off goods, in which work there is no exer- | cise for the muscle or brain and to the I great mass of them no outlook toward j anything higher or better, they are the j ones who bitterly regret that they did not learn some trade which would j command them better wages and make them independent, and not subject to j the fluctuating fortunes of this or that business house where they can be em- j ployed.—Ex.
