HIS Independence Day of ours, popu larly known as tho Glorious Fourth, is euch @ robust patriotic anniver- that 155 years nt commemorated it after the ev becomes necessary for States and cities to pass or- dinances resirain- ; ing the people) from celebrating too noisily snd too recklessly. In New York City, despite the fact that ar- reststfor fire-cracker emuggling are the order of the day, and that the | main.feature of the HealthDepartment’s demonstration ia the isan- anoe of)a treatise on tetanus, or lockjaw, we are all looking forward to-e grand and joyous festival. “We” means all the people, in a specially broad renae, on this | occasion. The national motto, PIAURIBUS UNUM—out of many, one—is exemplified here in the official announcement, “That none may suffer ‘by reason of brief residence in this country, there will | be speaking in many languages.” | Vid and Slav, Latin and Scandinavian, may hear recited in their respective native tongues the immortal Declaration of Independence | launched from Philadelphia in 1776, which has gone on appealing | irresistibly to them and to all races of men in all countries of the earth. For the half-million Italians of this city, the day {s a double-head- er, because the Fourth of July is the birthday of Garibaldi. ‘Ten days later Frenchmen commemorate the fall of the Bastille, upon the ruins of which mediaeval donjon-keep were built the foundations of the republic dedicated to liberty, equality and fraternity. The Britisher is one with us to-day in the willingness to let by- gones be bygones, and it is a mutual case of hands of friendship across | the sea. ‘The British Empire and the United States of America are | at this moment framing a treaty for the peaceful arbitration of any future differences that may arise—a foreshadowing, in the minds of some statesmen, of a permanent alliance between the two nations which would insure realization of the dream of the late laureate, Lord ‘Tennyson—“the parliament of men, the federation of the world.” With Canada—a nation of Englishmen numerically greater to-day than-was the main body of English people from whom our forefathers cut loose—we are joining reciprocally to throw down tho trade bar- riers that at present constitute the only formidable boundary wall.
