It-will bo my puipcso when elected to
so conduct mtelf as to win the respect
and good nil! of those who have opposed
mo ns well an those who have given mo
their support. I shall bo the governor
of the whole reopte of the state. Abuses
have undoubtedly grown up in the legis
lature which nre neither the fault of one
party nor tho other, but rather? thJ
growth of cuttcm. t'rrecessary Investi
gations have been authorized by commit
tees, resulting In unnecessary expentc to
the state. It will bo my care and pur
pose to correct thcto and other evils In t'o
far as I have the power. It will bo my
purpose while gocrnor of Pennsylvania,
as It has been m purpose In tho public
positions that I have held, with God's
help, to discharge my whole duty. Tho
people aro greater than the parties to
which they belong. I am only Jealous of
their favor. I shall only attempt to win
their approval and my experience has
taught me that that can best be done by
an honest, modest, dally discharge of
public duty.
After all, it Is difficult to imagine a
hotter death than that of the soldier
who yields Ills lift; for country and
humanity.
A Nation Born Anew.
The nation on this day rounds an
epoch in its history. For the first time
since its natal day it is a nation full
grown: a nation in instinct, in unity,
in national consciousness of a national
destiny. There have been Fourths ere
this when these things were said, but
the statements were then only frac
tional truths. Before tho civil war the
title deeds of American citizenship
were clouded with mortgages to the
doctrine of state sovereignty. That
war canceled the mortgages but it left
in place thereof an Immense accum
ulation of sectional bitterness.
It was reserved for another war, an
unselfish war having1 Its Inspiration di
rectly In human sympathy, a war for
the freeing of an alien race, to whom
we have been obligated by propinquity
alone, to bring together our divided
sections, wipe out this bitterness, take
the sting out of recently growing class
prejudices and show to the American
people and the world at large the spec
tacle of ti mighty power self-directed
no less In war than in peace to ad
vancing the world's common civiliza
tion. A nation born in war and saved
by war finds now in war a new dedica
tion of its superlpr might to its incom
parable mission. Let human insects
count the cost in blood or treasure and
haggle o'er the price. The pen of his
tory will write that this episode of our
war with Spain was the gicatest single
triumph for humanity In the whole
eventful course of the Nineteenth cen
tury. In view of these facts, the day wo
celebrate is Justly a day of pride in
citizenship, offering, for the exultation
It arouses, a larger warrant than any
the world has yet known. But It Is
none the less a day of solemn duty,
which calls every thoughtful American
to meditate upon Its problems and re
sponsibilities. Situated, as we nie.
upon the thicshold of n new century,
which biings with it for tho American
people new prestige and new oppor
tunity, we have to consider how best
we may safeguard the one and fulfil
the other. The course of events, in
which many perceive the hand of Prov
idence, has suddenly put within our
control the disposition of the future
of nany millions of human beings, our
Inferiors in the scale of civilization,
children In the school of successful
self-government, yet politically or
phaned by operation of our arms and
thereby thrown bodily upon our mercy.
In Cuba, this problem Is simplified
by nearness to republican Institutions
and facilitated In Its solution by a
large engrafting of American Inter
ests; but in the Philippines distance,
Isolation from oxamplea In honorable
rule, complications in race and religion
and the besetting perils of European
freed combine to suggest a prodigious
task, yet if the United States be not
equal to this task, what nation or sys
tem ls? Can we cscapo It? Dare we
Ignore It? Would It be right to reap
the eclat of successful arms and then
Ihlrk the ensuing responsibilities?
Would It be In keeping with the tradi
tions of moral courage upon which our
republic is bullded to commemorate
the freeing of Cuba by deciding upon
ihe re-enslavement of tho Philippines?
These are among the thoughts which
.nstlnctlvely connect themselves with
the present occasion. Rut tho ques
tions we have asked practically an
iwer themselves or find their reply In
the sterling character of the American
people a people which has expanded
.ts domain from thirteen struggling
:olanles to 45 prosperous states and
Kted Itself from lowest to first among
the vital nations, and of whose future
growth It Is not within tho power of
any man at this time to set a limit.
The lesson of this most significant
day, unique ns It Is among all the In
dependence Days since tho Republic
was founded, above all things Js that
the citizenship of the United States,
In senate no less than camp, at home,
abroad, should show tho courage of Us
convictions.

Our Troops at Honolulu.
Saturday's Sun gave the first ampli
fied new 8 which the country has had
from Its soldier boys en route to Dewey.
It printed a long letter from its special
correspondent with the flret Manila
expedition detailing the incidents of
the journey from San Francisco to
Honolulu. This Journey lacked special
featuto until the latter port was
reached. Then Hawaiian hospitality
fairly took the soldiers by storm. Lis
ten to this:
The llttlo boats put off from the shore
In swarms, black with people, or black
and white, for half of them nre in ducK.
Here comes a little Bleamcr. There Is a
band aboard pUylrg "The Star Span
gled Banner." This Is the committee of
reception. See tho white badges! How
cvetjbody checrtt! The crowded wharves
rock with tho shouts, and wo send back
cheer for cheer. Tho captain has to
shout his orders In tho cars of his men.
The pilot himself takes the wheel. We
fairly crawl in. It is almost dark. Over
on thre point by the quarantine station a
big bonfire flares up. Theio go some can
nin. Rockets shoot up, and all the tlmo
a Bleady roar of ihters. Our friends aio
mi the pier by the thousand, and we can't
wait to sco them. "Aloha! Aloha!" they
shout. Now we're close In. Rananas
come aboaid In a Miower. thrown fiom
tho pltr, and wreaths of flowers, cigars,
cigarettes, ortiiRtt. Was there ever any
thing like it! A couple of young
men In uniform Jump aboard the Aus
tralia. They are officers of the National
Guard of Hawaii. Straight to the gen
eral they go. "Welcome to Honolulu,
General Anderson. We shall be glad to
see jou on shore, by twos, by threes, by
hundreds, or by thousands, without arnu
or with Hum, us you like."
On shore It is the same:
When Hctolulu deotes Itself to the
business of entertaining 2.600 soldiers and
their officers there's something going on.
These people hate set themselves the
tremendous task of showing every soldier
in General Merritt's Philippine aimy what
Hawaiian hospitality Is. Tho whole city
has had a holiday for three days, taking
care of the First brigade. There arc nlno
other brigade? ns big as this one to come,
but Honolulu contemplates the under
taking and laughs. Let thoin come all
together If they will, Honolulu is ready.
Trom the time tho men of this brigade
hit the beach, as sallormcn say, there
hasn't been an unoccupied moment, and
the possibilities havo not begun to be
exhausted. The reception to the
ofTlccrs at the club the first night broke
up when daylight was sliding down tho
western slope of the mountains that
crown the eastern edge of the city and
stirring the dwellers at tho mountain's
foot to early work. There was hardly
time to see where one's bed was before it
was the hour for doing something. Break
fast, then a spin through the town, and
go to the Charleston. Queen Dowager
Kaplolanl Is giving a flag to the ship.
When Kalakaua died In San Francisco
sevnai years agr the Charleston brougnt
his body home. Now ills widow, through
her nephews, Prince David and Prlhco
Cupid, presents a beautiful flag to the
cruiser. Captain Glass respond
ed, accepting the flag, and then the ship's
company were called to quarters', the old
ensign was hauled down and tho new one
run up. Then there was luncheon on tho
Charlestrn. In the afternoon there was
a reception by President Dole to General
Anderson and the cfflciTs of the troops.
Then there were dli ners and all sorts of
entertainments for the officers. The men
had the freedom of the city. They simply
couldn't spend their money. Street cars
were free and blccles and horses wore
to bo had for tho simple signifying of
the deshe The btach at Kalklki
swarmed with soldiers. All the bathing
places were thrown open to the boys and
a thousand or more of them went Into
tho surf. Tbere weie concerts hy the
government and tho Hawaiian bands In
tho parks. Th" men of the Hawaiian Na
tional guard were the special escorts
of thssoldleri, but the cllliens of Hono
lulu generally took the hoys In tow when
ever they appeared and piloted them
about.
Space does not pufflce to follow In
detail the round of pleasure and en
tertainment which Hawaii provided,
hut one moro scene commands atten
tion. A formal nddress of welcome,
made from the steps of the government
building in Honolulu, was responded
to by General Anderson, the command
er of the expedition, as follows:
In behalf of my comrades In arms I
have to thank you for this welcome, as
generous as jour sunshine, ns beautiful
ns your floweis. Our brothers of Brit
ain have carried their mtltor flag wher
ever man can march or ship can sail.
Now for the first time America sends a
military force across the sa3, not for
conquest, but In a crusade against wrong.
The newest civilisation Is pitted against
the oldest; liberty against despotism,
equality against caste, fraternity against
cruelty. Our Saxon fathers fought
agnlnst the tHWigery of Tornuemada,
Philip and Alva, We have taken up the
flsht of Raleigh and Drake, of William
tha Silent, of Barnevelt, of Rodney, and
Nelson. TIiIb Is ancient history. Yet
Cuba and tho Philippines are still In proof
that bigotry, tyranny, uailce aro tho
characteristics of Spanish lule. AVher
ever her porwrtous banner flouts the air,
there you will find confiscation, stana
tlon, tho thumb screw, and the rack.
Shall no hand be raised to prevent or
avenge these honors? Is the fatherhood
of God a delusion, the brotherhood of
man a jest? Thero Is a legend that the
dead body of the Cld In full armor, was
placed at tho head of the Spanish army
to lead It to vlctoiy. Spain today places
the moribund corpse of despotism at the
head of her myimldons. Rut its dominion
nears an end. Her sins will find her out.
We are but predestined Instruments. Sho
gave us our commission when she blew
up the Maine. In conclusion let
me express a sincere hope. As gravity
controls the courso of the stars and
chemical affinity teriestrl.il evolutions, so
should the tics of blood, the traditions of
race, the uso of the eamo lnngunge, and
respect for similar laws draw us together
Into a union of hearts, a union of hands,
and a union of states none enn sever.
And thus nt last will be realized the
statesman's Ideal, the people's hope, the
poet's dream, that our united countries
will form "Time's mightiest empire and
its last."
Is It not strange that while such are
tho greetlngn and tho hopes of our
soldiers in arms a disreputable minor
ity In the senate is encouraged In somo
quartcrb to defy necessity ami post
pone destiny by maudlin opposition
to Hawaiian annexation? Shume on
thcml
i
I When one is In the mood It is not
difficult to find fault. The same per
sons who a. month ago were censuring
McKlnley for trying to fight a bloodless
war are now blaming him for need
less bloodshed.

If Ocrmany doesn't llko it to have her
admiral dictated to by the United
States let her notify him to keep off the
grass.
The Battle of Santiago.
Several days will doubtlesB elapse
before we shall receive a connected and
comprehensive account of the battle of
Santiago. The difficulties of reporting
battles are many nt best, because of
the necessarily lurgc nreaB they cov
er, the confusion incident to tho match
ing and contermarching of troops and
the Intense excitement of tho actual
fighting. But in the present Instance
the difficulties were far greater and
more numerous than ordinary. The
problem was one Involving the moving
of men and artillery In a strange coun
try having no roads, an Intolerable
temperature and every opportunity for
successful ambush by the enemy. Add
ed to this was the great natural
strength of tho enemy's fortifications
and the co-operation received by him
from the Spanish ships, points difficult
to understand at first. Then there
was an element of perplexity In tho
alliance between tho American and
the Cuban forces necessitating the
employment of two languages and
leading to inevitable friction.
These facts caution us against Jump
ing nt hasty -conclusions, especially
when tho first Impulse Is to criticize
or censure. Being the first real battle
of the war, tho death list looks large
In comparison with tho trivial losses
sustained In the spectacular prelimin
aries; but It must be remembered that
40,000 men cannot very well fight each
other with the Improved death-dealing
nppllances of modern warfare without
bloodshed. The price of an assault Is
sacrifice, but where one's cause Is Just
sacrifice should be borno uncomplain
ingly. At Gettysburg tho Union army
lost 2" per cent., in killed, wounded
and missing. Yet fev now begrudge
the cost of that pivotal victory of the
civil war. A victory at Santiago, by
reason of Its Influence upon Spanish
and Kuropean opinion, would be worth
to our arms every man engaged In
winning It that Is, If bloodshed In war
Is Justifiable under any circumstances.
The fact that stands out Is the calm,
business-like, remorseless energy of
General Shafter. Like Grant he plays
with men for results, not sparing the
pawns. This seems cruel at the mo
ment, but In the long run It Is kind
ness and economy combined. The way
to fight Is to fight. There Is no pleas
ant alternative. General Shafter, oper
ating on this principle, has astonished
the world by his vigorous but steady
advance from ships to shore, from
shore to outposts, from outposts to the
enemy's main works and from thence
to partial victory, coveting in a few
days with bull-dog tenacity a range of
work that might well have required In
Its execution as many weeks. He did
not do all that lie set out to do, but
what he did, odds considered, was cer
tainly marvelous. The country doffs
Its hat to Major General William R.
Shafter.
m
It was very unkind In the Cuban
Insurgents, just as Mr. Kohlsatt's ad
ministration organ had branded them
ns no good, to stand up at Santiago
and fight llko Ameriian veterans, court
lng the thickest of the fray.
The Hot Wave.
Happily the prostrations from the
extreme hot wave in the city and Its
neighborhood have been few, and no
deaths havo been recorded. Sunday
morning early portended a day of In
tense sultriness, and so It turned out.
The thermometer fluctuated between
S3 and 97 degrees during the day and
would probably have risen some de
grees higher were It not that a most
refreshing breeze from the southwest
rprang up about 12 o'clock and did not
die away until after the sun set. This
cold current made life tolerable.
New York as usual comes to the
front with a high death rate from heat
prostration. On Saturday twelve
deaths were registered there as di
rectly attributable to the heat, and a
large number of poor people were
treated In the hospitals suffering from
sjnstroke and kindred Ills. There Is
no Indication that the warm wave will
subside today, and It humidity Is like
ly to Increase. Precaution Is reason
able and necessary on a holiday like
this when the cerebral nervous system
Is likely to be overtaxed, and the rush
of blood to the brajn, which Is In fact
the real cause of heat prostration and
Its consequent tragedies, unduly stim
ulated by the excitement engendered
by picnics, dancing parties, excursions
and so on.
Alchollc beverages, If taken at all,
should be consumed in extreme moder
ation. Ilobustuous health Is no safe
guard against the direct rays of the
sun acting through the medium of an
acqueous atmosphere on the brain.
Parents should be careful that chil
dren do not Indulge unduly In iced
drinks or more exercise than their
tender years can bear. These are a
few commonplace precautions which
everybody knows but at the critical
moment always forgets.
A court martial Involving a capital
offense is a rare Incident in our mili
tary annals, Such a trial began on
Saturday at Camp Alger when a prl-,
vate from a. New York regiment wasf
arraigned for striking his superior of
ficer. The seriousness of the crime Is
sufficiently testified by the array of
otrlcers assigned to the court. There
can be no palliation for such a crime
in time of war. Lieut. James will not l'e
shot; but his passionate temper has
brought upon him disgrace, degrada
tion, and punishment little short of
death. '

1770.
ON JULY 4, 1776. a document un
equaled In Importance was sub.
mltted to tho consideration of
mankind. There wero many things
to make it extraordinary. It
emanated from the New World. It was
a manifesto against the then stronger
Old World power, it was the protest of
a child against the exactions and oppres
sions of Its mother. Three millions of
people stood behind It; they wero scat
tered over a vast domain, without great
cities, without armies, with a loose or
ganization; they pledged life, fortune,
and sacred honor In support of n Dec
laration of Independence: The style of
the document has often been criticised,
Tho accuracy of Its allegations has been
impeached. It has been compared In lat
er times to a fulmlnntton of Bombastes
Furloso. Dut ench charge Is sustained
by tho voice of Impartial history.
Granting tho truth of the charges, tho
style Is not exaggerated, but Is a model
of directness destitute alike of indefinite
ness and ambiguity, and properly pro
nounced It has a potency of exciting en
thusiasm worth to the American people
then and now- an army of "twice ten
thousand men." Tho mother country
had not perfected Its colonizing policy;
tho liberalization of the British mon
archy had scarcely begun. Tho king, In
addition to native obstinacy, fancied
that ho stood for tho legitimate scope
of monarchal power. The battle was
long and fierce, and England distracted
by complications with other powers, the
chief of which, under a desire to punish
nn ancient enemy and to aid a strug
gling people, seized tho opportunity to
put Its army nnd navy at the service of
those who antedated It In raising the
banner of liberty, equality and fratern
itywas fain to submit to so great a
loss of prestige, territory and population.
When the treaty of peace was signed
and the British troops withdrew from
the United States, an achievement was
consummated tho measure of which the
King of kings and Lord of lords alone
can take. The rightfulness of tho Revo
lution is demonstrated by the modifica
tions In the English colonial policy which
It necessitated: by the modifications in
the representative system of the British
home government; by Its Indirect Influ
ence over all the governments of Europe,
with the exception of Turkey, and over
the republics of South America; and It
Is practically conceded by modern Brit
ish statesmen.

When after portentous vicissitudes
congress called upon the states to send
delegates to Philadelphia for the purpose
of so revising the articles of federation
as to render the federal constitution ad

ment and tho preservation of tho Union,

Charles C. Plnckney, Rufus King and
Roger Sherman, with many others, ap
peared and elected George Washington
as president of the convention, and pro
duced a constitution absolutely original
In the relation of Its parts, the distribu
tion of Its functions, and the number of
emergencies foreseen and provided for,
the demonstration that "the people of
tho colonies aro and of right ought to
be free and Independent" was so triumph
ant that the surprise of tho world would
not havo been greater had the fabled
Atlantis appeared again above the sur
face of the sea in all the glory which
Plato gave to it. Ench succeeding con
gress demonstrates tho all-Inclusive wis
dom of that constitution. Tho concur
rence of tho senate and houo indis
pensable to the consummation of an ac
tion; the Independence of the president In
every sphere except the judicial and the
legislative; tho superiority of tho su
preme court to both the president and
congress; the Indefeasible rights of the
states; tho residuary power reposed In
the people, who may alter the constitu
tion, form a structure as solid as the
Pillars of Hercules, and as clastic as

III.
1801.
In every document made by man (ex
cept In the realm of pure mathematics)
there Is room for divergence. The mean
ings of unchangeable words are change
ful; hence the growth of materials for
revolution. July i. 1S61, was a harbinger
of horror; the very rainbows In the sum
mer showers spoke of floods yet to come.
July i. 1S62, was covered with a pall.
In 1S63 the pall grew blacker and thicker;
for It was the summer of the draft riots,
and In this city the gates of hell were
opened; Its torches spared not the or
phan asylums; and howls as of demons
were heard In the streets. On Julv 4,
1864, a deep muttering cry was heard,
"The war Is a failure," "The Union Is
doomed," and none could foresee the Is
sue. In 1S$5 tho drums and booming guns
had notes of Joy, the ceremonies were
significant of peace, and banners and
the old flag were waved In every state;
hut symbols of mourning for tho assas
sinated Lincoln flapped like raven's wings
in a large part of the national domain.
IV.
1808.
The country is In war with the nation
that discovered the New World. An un
successful revolution In a large colony
so near that a sailboat might reach It
In half a day a revolution begun and
carried forwaxd for many years by col
onists who have more to complain of
than the revolutionists of the thirteen
states excited the sympathy of the peo
ple without distinction of party. After
long waiting for the triumph of those
who claim Cuba by right of discovery
and uninterrupted possession for hun
dreds of years, congress took such meas
ures as to compel war or the submission
of Spain to the mandate to withdraw for
ever from Cuba. The flag takes lis old
place. Tho grandson of General Grant
is on the staff of the son of General
Lee. This, an incidental result of the
war, goes far toward reconciling to the
war many not originally convinced of Its
need.
In this war we arc to the Cubans what
France was to America, except that we
had no reason to bo Jealous of the power
of Spain, no serious grievances of long
standing to punish. Today Instead of
3.000,000 there are 70,000,000; Instead of
thirteen states, forty-flve states; Instead
of only an Atlantic coast, a vast Pacific
coast: Instead of poverty, wealth Incom
putable: Instead of slavery, liberty: In
stead of small towns, great and powerful
cities; instead of slow traveling teams,
railroads and ships; Instead of wind
borne craft, steamships; instead of lag
gard malls, telegraphs and cables, and
single ships mightier for destruction than
a whole navy such as bombarded Bos
ton and New York,
