It would be hard to realize u more beautiful holiday than was the 116th anniversary of American indepondence. Bearcely a cloud ballooned across the blue expanse and nature put on her drossiest garb to fitly commemorate the historic occasion, which the thousacds of citizens aud strangers within our gates were bent upon celebrating. From eerly moroing until almost noon crowds filied the strects, clamoring for & point of vautage from which to review the parade. From flagstafls in myriad num bers floated be stars and stzipes while tue fronts of houses, were almost concealed fu their garaiture of red, white and blue. Farnam, Douglas, Haruey and Howara streets wera profusely decorated, while Sixtecuth street was aglow with emblems. Gre test Parade Ever Seen in Omaha, Of thn parade,which brought thousands of people to the metropolis from surround- ine cities, towns and hamlets, and which crowded the thorouehfares of Omata until thoy were well nigh impassable, ouly the most Iaudatory words are pertinent. Since its creation Omaha has not seen a more mag- nificent pageant of the traders aud toilers, who with the other forms of the werld’s light aud life, as sbown in marching columns this moruing, congregated in social platoons 1 hoaor of the birturight of liberty which the patriots of old made it possible to be the heritage of man. Earth and sky were barmonious in houoring the “day we celebrate’ und the marching thousands ouly emphasized the occasion, which $100d out in bold relief from the background of oppres- sion which the fathers of the government had to fight aud contend against. Peace reigued and spread its mantle of cobalt over B sccne which in ibis western country bas never been equalied. The procession of men and floats was an in- spiration, an object lesson to the 100,000 peo- ple who crowrded the streets and elbowed for position. Omaha has never secn its equal in point of numbers norin the com- pactness of the men who participated in the oecasion. TPen Thousand Peopie in Line, From first to Jast the parade, which was tho distiuctive feature of the morning, was finely commendable and showed the re sources of the Gata City when called upon.
