Amoros of the Democratic orgau9
and the actual condition of the Unit- J
States Treasury, the Chicago Inter
Ocean says: "It is true that the.resc rves
Jiave been greatly reduced, and there
', la no longer ony surplus, properly so
called, but the Treasury of the United
States has millions In actual cash on
band in excess of its demands. Some
of It is in bank, some of it In Us own
vaults. . To exclude the national hauk
deposits from the calculation would be
like declaring a merchant insolvent
because hlB cash drawers did not con
tain money enough to pay his bills
of the day, refusing to consider his
bank account. Such palpable unfair
ncss cannot hope to command the
respect of American people. It is too
preposterous for that.

ment of the Republican party when
he says, "I believe in good money and
plenty of it. The Rebublican party b.

Tho Fourth opened threateningly in

whon tho rain ceased falling, tho clouds
burst, and tho cheerful rays of a bright
summer morn boamed upon tho houso-lops

FIREMEN'S TAKADK.
Shenandoah was behind many towns in
tho obsorvanco of tho Fourth of July this
year. Thero was no grand stroet parade
and no formal patriotic gatherings to listen
to recitals of tho incidents that led to the
establishment of the glorious country, bat
in nil other respects the day' was colobrated
in a regular old-timo manner.
In tho morning thoro was a slroot parado,
in which tho Annunciation T. A. I), band
and socioty, St. Patrick's Society, Annun
ciation Cadets, Grant Cornot Hand, Col
umbia n. & S. F. E. Co., and Phoenix

Firo Company participated. Tho parado
was not nlargd ono, probably on account
of tho movement to arrango for a Joint
parado having boon launched too lato.
After tho parado tho Columbia IIoso
o impany proceeded to Columbia l'ark and
held its annual Fourth of July picnic. Tho
park was throngod from morning until n
lato hour at night, i'eoplo from nil parts
of tho county throngod through the gates
and tho company was kept bus; supplying
them with refreshments. The dancing
platform was throngod all day and tho
cjuplcs seomed to bo tireless. This was
probably duo to tho excellent dancing
rausio furnishsd by tho famous Schoppo
orchostra. Towards evening Prof. Zeilz
and his now famous Grant Cornot Hand
dclightod the thousands at tho park with
an open-air concert. Tho band also gave
an open-air concert at tho cornor of Main
and Centre streets at noon.

TOUNG PATRIOTS.
Tin picnic wai a grand success. It will
probably bo tho last public picnic tho com
pny will give in tho park as, it is under
stood, the lease will expire with tho present
season and tho Thomas Coal company bes
securod tho site for a dumping ground for
the rock and slate taken from tho Kehloy
Run colliary.
Tho Columbia nose Company will colo
bratolts 21st anniversary in thopaikon
July Hlh, next, and that will prouably
bo tho last ovent under its auspicos in tho
park.
Tho notice issued by Chief Barge's Lei-
sig to the effect that ho would enforce tho
ordinance against tho display of firework
in tho town did not mako tho slightest im
pression upon the spirit of young, or old,
America. Never ftv' tho. history of the
town was mojo vont given to that branch
jf patriotic enthusiasm.
Tho dealers in firoworks rcapod a harvest.
The enthusiasm took root at about elovon
o'clock Saturday night. Drum corps and
glee clubs burst forth In all parts of tho
town and serenaded sovoral of tho prom
inent citizens, aomo ot tno parties wore
out until sunriso and moro than ono roligi

hood arid wished tbo inventors of drums

A work on "How to Iluild up a City"
would not be complete without a fow words
on tho necessity ot patronizing home
establishments. This course should bo ap
uarent to every ono, but, after all. it
human natu-o to run alter strango gods
nnd, thorefore, thero aro people in ovory
oinmunity who will go miles out of their
way to purchae goods, wares and mer
chandise which, nino time" out of ton, they
could purchaso on ?ven bettor torms right
at homo particularly if thooostof railway
fares and hotol oxponses worn added to tho
cost of tho articles purchased. This is a
very bad, in fact, a very injurious and
-liort-sighlod policy i policy which, if
persisted in, by any great number of poo
plo, would absolutely put it out of tho
powor of a homo dealer to meet his daily
expenses and result in a condition of affairs
which, sooner or later, would drive him to
-he wall. Tho foolishness of such a course
i-anbestbo consirteiod when wo recall tho
.act that the homo doaler is usually a large
taxpayer as well as an employor of labor,
considerations which, of themselves, should
tio sufliciont to inlluonco liado in his favor.
But this is not all, if tbo homo deaior
wnll patronized ho can afford to carry
larger stock and-, as a natural consequence,
ho will uo more business, employ moro
labor and draw trado to this city from long
distances trade, which otherwise would
&o to other places. In addition to drawing
trade for his own advantage and profit, the
homo doalor would practically bo ben
fitting our hotols, railroads, eating housoe,
photographers, druggists, etc., etc. liy no
means do not commit tho serious mistake
of running away from home to spend your
money; enoourago your homo deolors by
extonding lo thorn your full patronago, and
if thoy do not carry in stook what you
want ask them to order it for you, and in
this way seek to build up those wbr with
you, aro assisting in bearing the bu. ns of
taxation, contributing to our pubiio chari
ties, and aiding our publia ontorprisos.
A Shenandoah doalor is a "heap sight"
nearer related than ono who lives tin hun
dred milos away, and If ho makes money
in supplying your needs, In his lino, ho
will oxpend a fair proportion of it right
hero at homo whero it .will do tho most
good. In short, if ho makes money ho
will buy, say, u carriage of a homo car
riage bulluor; and the noma carriage
builder will put extra men U. work to fill
tho order, and tho extra mon will oxpond
the money they receive from tho carriage
builder nt tho counters of Shenandoah
merchants, clothiers, druggists, shoe-
dealers, grocers, butchers, bakers, or in
paying rent to a Shenandoah properly
owner, who, in turn, will oxpend a fair
proportion of tho money received from the
mon who worked for tho carriage builder
in, perhaps, now houses, thus giving em
ployment to Shenaudojb carpenters, brlck
makors, stone masons, painters, plumbers,
laborers, etc., etc. Theso men in turn will
expend the money they receive hero at
homo as did tho men who worked for the
carriage builder, and all this good will
have flown from the patronage tho dry
goods merchant, tho carpel deaior, the
jeweler, or the clothier reoeived from resi
dents of Shonandoah who possessed sufli
ciont horso-senso to spend their money at
homo instead of with dealers scores ot
miles away.
lleform is necessary lu this particular, if
Shenandoah Is to go bounding forward,
und it is to be hoped that the peoplo of this
town will reoognlae the importance of the
point we havo raised, und resolve, here
after, to stand by their town initrad of co
operating lo Insure tho prjeperity of the
dealers of other towns. Thoro It far more
in this principle than can bo extracted iu
ono article, but enough has b en shown to
convince tho thinking public that it is
business suicide to run away from home lo
oxpend money which should be kept in
circulation right hera in Shenandoah.
THE JOINT PARADE NOTICE.
In Inatanoo of Ohnrgoa Without
Foundation.
Last week a notice signed "Committee,''
calling for a meeting of representatives
from all societies interested in a j. int
piMdo for July -1th, was published in tho
flBKALU. Representatives met in response
to tho call, but nono would tako tho initia
tive nnd organize tho meeting. "Who
called the meeting?" was next asked, but
nono would father tho notice. Sotno then
charged tho Columbia Hose company
with an attempt lo got up a joint parado
Fir the benefit of their picnic, whllo somo
fertile brains conceivod the idoa that it was
a 11kuai.ii scheme." In justice to tho
Columbia Hose company and tho Herald,
t is necessary that the liuth should bo
known.
The notice for tho meeting did not
omanato trom tho flro company, nor was it
manufactured in tho Hkiiald office, or by
any ono connected with the ppr. It was
sod upon a postal card communication
signed by a prominent momber of tho A.
T. A. 11. suciety and the Hkrald still
ids tho original. It is fortunate that n
this instance tho communioation was not a
confidential ono, e the Ukkalii has at
hut securod an opportunity to show by
means other than lis own statements how
ready somo peoplo of tho town are to
shouldor the mistakes of others upon tho
shouldeis of th paper. A gentleman
who was a representative at tho
meeting stated on Saturday, "I mad" up
my mind that the U skald did it and f 1
woro going to make them shoulder tho re
sponsibility." For tho benefit of that gen
tleman and his fellow-thinkers thn Hkrald
will state that it stands ready to father all
it does and no compulsion is neces-ary.
It may also be obervod that when tho
gentleman referred to learned who tho
author of tho notico was ho showed an
eagerness to havo the matter dropped and
say nothing more about it, but it has been
deemed necessary to give tho truth r
much publicity as the chargos recoived,
btcause tho charges wore circulated in a
spirit that indicated a fcliomo on tho part
of tho Hkrrld to toy with the patriotism
of the citizeus.
PANIO AT A FUNERAL.

Suddenly, amid tho sobbing of relatives
of tho dead, a noise was hoard. It was
only the raising of a window, but somo
ono cried out that the floor was giving

Binashed, and the peoplo jumped through,
them. Then somo ono yelled "Fire," nnd
the excitement Incroasod.
It was somo time before qulot was re
