Another Fourth of July will dawn on the people of the United States to-mor- fow morning. ‘There has not been a “glorious Fourth” since the great day on which the proclamation of the independence of the Republic wan hailed with delight by the lovers of liberty and human rights throughout the world that has not brought with it its reasons for re- Jotoing and congratulation, Of course, there have been seasons when clouds have obscured the early July sun and wi trouble has appeared to gather ever the nation. But such temporary gloom has been transtent only. The Progress of the nation has boen steadily onward and upward for more than a hundred years, and ite trials have been only blosaings in disguise. Hven in the Gerk hours of our war the sorrows and sufferings we endured were only the price we were paying for that im- Measurable blessing which made fre: @om a reality and not @ sham in the chosen land of liberty, ‘To-morrow wiil bring with {t tte rea- fons for rejoicing, It finds the United Btates edvancing in power among the nations of the earth. It brings with It & promise of prosperity following a Beason of business prostration. The country, all but bankrupt a year ago, fs now on a polid financial basis, The People are steadily progressing in their Warfare against the oppressions of fanaticilam and plutocracy. Corruption has been driven from our local govern- ment in New York and honext adminia- tration has triumphed. Public life ta better and purer than it was. Hurrah for tho Fourth! Under what provisions of the law es- tablishing execution by electricity wae the body of Dr. Buchanan made an @dvertisement for an undertaker's shop? A NEW DEPTH OF CITY LIFE Bometimes sutdenly wo seem to get under the fair surface of thin town and Bee some of Its life in terrible and hor- rible forms. ‘l'o-day we learn of the lot and fate of thone who have to work In the thick air and the foul smells of the Sweat-shop. Men and women and little @hildren stitch, stitch, packed together, Might and day, breathe in and out the germs of fevers and consumption, till the life of her who sang the sorrow gong of the shirt in her lonely garret @eems pleasant and sweet, Sometimes one despairs, wondering what other depths of misery the city Rides. People lose courage and think the struggle to bring all the city to a Jevel of pure air and clean homes ta hopeless. It is not. One by one the slums go, and the tribes of the slums go with them. Think of the old Five Points in the days of Dickens. Think ef the old times in Water and Front Streets; think how the tenement slaves of the cigar-makers were rescued; think ef the Lexow ‘lations ond the good ‘work of redemption now going on, ‘There ts much to be done and it has to be done slcwly, but year by year the eity grows better and sweeter and Brander in its lowly as in tte high Places, The sweat-shops munt go, and @0 very soon. The sweat-shop im the Present evil and calls for a present rem- e@dy, The slaves of the sweat-shop call for liberty. The next declaration of independence will free the New York of the nine- teenth century from the lingering blue awe of the sixtoonth century. TAMMANY AND DEMOCRACY. Tammany always celebrates the Fourth of July in a patriotic and noiny Bo It is an appropriate 1 @m the eve of the anniversary of Na. @onal Independence, to put forth the Wiews of the leaders of Tammany on the subject of its reorganization, and to Record what is being done to bring the great Democratic party, the majority of ‘the people in New York State and New York City, together in unity and har- mony. (“The World” ts timety in obtaining the | views of Henry D. Purroy as to Tam- Mmany's future. Mr. Purroy ts a decid- edly important leader, a good, practical lan, an efficient organizer, popu- with his followers and a positive in the organization. / Mr. Purroy believes fully that Tam- / many will recover its power and be again the overshadowing element in @lty politics. But he concedes tt must Be on a wider scale than formerly, with OF present standing. If the people want any of the old leaders they should have them. If they prefer new ones they should be equally free to have them. Mr. Purroy does not believe Mr. Croker will interfere in reorganization. He dose not approve of Hugh J. Grant aa the new leader. Of coprae not. But many Democrata do. Tammany ta very far from union and harmony attil. At the same time the Grace Household ‘Troopm, the force calin itaelf, the “Btate Detnocracy,” holde out the olive branch and asks modentiy only one-half the delegates in the next biate Conven- ton an the price of union Will it get it? ‘That in an appropri- ate point for the Hil Committee to aet- tle on Independence Day. Elkinn and Platt are willing to bury thetr hatchets, but where? They had better keep the backs of thetr heads well behind them when they meet. GIVE U8 GOOD CITY ROADS. Connecticut han fallen into line for good ronin. New Jerney led the way. State after State han been added to the lat. New York persistently and incom- prehensibly ings behind the procession. Thia la bad enough for the State, but here in the city we have an added grief. We nee not only that no good roads are aed, but also that some we have had are slipping away. Beventh avenue, above the Central Park, has been in a bad estate thus far this Burner because of work begun and never finished, Lenox and St. Nicholas avenues are both in bad shape. Kings bridge road, at the bridge, is #mply « broad mud-patch. One Hundred and ‘Tenth street, forming an important con- nection between uptown driveways, Is a positive disgrace, Then, across the Har- lem, the roads leading from the new Central bridge need attention, the THE WORLD: WEDNESDAY EVE SOME “BICYCLE FACES. NING, JULY 3, 1895. Jerome avenue rive, in particular, hav- ing been spoiled for the present, while the slownena of operations looking to the new grading prevents the promise of tmmediate better things. New York is too big and too rich @ elty to be slothful oF stingy in regard to ite streets and drives, It should de- Nght in fine thoroughfares and boule- vardn, It hae ample meana and oppor- tunities to cater to much delight. All that 1 needed # prompt and honest work. Let ue have that, and have it without delay. Don't be a crank to-morrow. If a boy sete off a firecracker in your left trous don’t get mad; put a little arnica fore place and be thankful it wasn't @ braes cannon, SOFT CORNS AND WEATHER PROPHET?. To-morrow will be the Fourth of July. ‘The eve of that great anniversary im a bad time to choose for turning out of office a competent, valuable chief of @ very important branch of the Government on grounds not justified by the public interests, Mr. Morton, the Secretary of Agri- culture, has forced out Prof. Mark W. Farrington, the head of the Weather Bureau, The business of the Bureau has been effectively and satinfactorily conducted so far as the public know. Yet Secretary Morton ways he would rather have an old farmer with rheu- matinm in his shoulder and « soft corn on hia foot predict what the weather would be than “all the professors and their confounded books that Harrington has got.” He believes that a Nebraska cow who “never went to college” oan tell when It in going to rain better than fet Harrington or any of hin profes- fore, and expresses a Genire to ‘raise the atandard of the Weather Bureau at leant up to that of @ flock of geese.” Prof, Harrington, on the other hand, alleges that he in removed because he “declined to permit the actentific corps of the Hurean to be sacrificed for the benefit of the spollaman.” ‘The profes wor in distinguished among meteorol fintn, the author of a number of works on that science, He was appointed by President Harrison. Tt is singular that {t haw taken over two years to find out that the chief knows no more about the weather than a rheumatic farmer with a soft corn, a Nebraska cow or a flock of geese. The Washingtons’ noble struggle to re- tain tenth place against the toboggan- ing New Yorks ought to be deeply ap- preciated by the friends of the Senators, pecially when the sterner sex ts looking on, At a Jersey City church fair leat night four young women en- gaged in what wan ontensibly a wood- nawing contest. They had pleces of hemlock which they bucksawed after a fashion. ‘Two of their saws got stuc for want of grease, but the winner wei through her 4x¢ log in @& seconds an was cheered to the echo. It would be all right if this were the end of the matter, but we are willing to wager © house and lot against hard- boiled egg that it isn't. Those fair wood-sawyers went into the contest with malice prepense, not for the medal prize only, but for a more desirable and valuable prize fond mai heart. They wanted to show that they could be of some use around a house, even to the extent of nawing the family wood and, If necessary, chopping It, too, They will win. And, mark these words! when they do, either the saw and buck and hemlock log will be covered with gold paint and hung up by pink and blue ribbons in the parlor, or It will be the poor victim of the sawdust game that will be making the hemlock splinters fly tn the back yard, Henry D. Purroy says there tan’t much chance of the Democratic factions vniting this November, because auch unions are generally based on a fair division of the loaves and fishes, and this year there ts not a loaf nor a fish in aight. ‘There spoke @ politician.

If the goosebone can do better, put it in and give it the benefit of the ctvil-service rules. If “Green-Goois King” Parmelee Jones is dead and buried, why should his friends conosal the fact? Now that there are carriage lights, there must be the best possible roads on whieh to display them. We have met the Westchester annex and it is ours. Bo will be the rest of the Greater New York.
