The grand spectacle or extravaganza ,
" " the Plaza Monday
"Santiago. TVOS given on
night before an audlonco that filled tbu
resarved seat section and overflowed Into
the gravel walks of tjho Midway tor rods.
It wan a marvelous production and ono that
Btlrred the blood of the llwteners. The big
undertaking went off very smoothly ro-
m.irkably BO when It Is taken Into con
sideration that rehearsals have simply been
out of the Question.
The work was put on by Musical Director
Thomas J. Kelly nnd Bandmaster Herman
Uellstcdt. The music was arranged by Mr.
Bcllatcdt and It was a mosaic of beautiful
Kcma from operas , mingled with popular
Dongs , martial airs and army calls. The arrangement -
rangoment ot so many different styles of
music took an enormous amount of hard
work and both the men who were Instru
mental In getting up the big production
have every reason to feel proud of Its suc
cess In every particular. The applause was
most hearty and cheers were frequent dur
ing the performance , whllo the Chautauqua
ealuto was also given by many In the vast
audience.
The opening econo was light In character
nnd the muolo from "Carmen" made the
oettlnjt for a Caatlllan scene. A toreador
came out first and gave a pretty dance , fol
lowed by a bevy ot graceful senorltas , who
danced with an abandon wholly Spanish In
character. Following the dance came
nconos In camp llfo depleted realistically by
Tuunlc , nnd amone other things used were
the different trumpet calls required during
the day. To bring this part of the show
to a oalcmnly beautiful close was the boom
of the sunset gun nnd the lowering of the
Hag to the strains of the "Star Spangled
Banner , " played by Adelmann's band.
Cnlmn CaUetrnlk.
A Jolly Ilttlo Interpolation next given was
a cakowallc given by the Cubans. Bell-
Btodt's band played "Whlstltnc Rufus" over
and over again nnd several pickaninnies
danced to their hearts' delight. Next , from
the distant camp of the soldiers came the ever
familiar strains of "Tentlne Tonlcht. " sung
by the boys , and then followed "tattoo" and
the plalntlvo "lights out" and the sccno
was brought to a close with "Homo , Sweet
Home , " by the band. The solemn closing
to the Eceno was long to bo remembered
nnd the great nudlenco was very quiet at
the close , showing that the scene had been
effective.
With the sound of "Nancy Leo" the people
plewere apprised that the sojdler lads were
boarding the ehlps ready to depart for
Blaqulrt. Soon after this came the sound
"to anna" nnd the moving of the land
forces o nsalst Shatter , whose guns qould
be heard booming In tha dlstance. .Just nt
this time came the battle , which was a
tremendous thing. The band began a ter-
rlBc selection , filled with the roll of many
drums and the shriek of ' flfo nnd flute.
There was roar after roar of cannon back
of the great eholl and red flro cast a lurid
glow over the place , whllo volumes of
emoJto rolled skyward as the rattle of mus
ketry nnd the sound of carnage was worked
up to n grand climax. Slowly the cannon
ceased their detonations nnd after a desul
tory shot or two the band played softly nnd
the battle wag over. Then the Rough Riders
came , singing the melancholy "Vacant
Chair , " and the battle scene was at an end.
Itcnntlful Cloning Scene.
The closing of the spectacle was ono of
the moat beautiful parts , as It depicted the
return of the horoea from war. But before
they came In the High school cadets came
marching In with military precision , headed
by Captain Sweely , representing young
* America. This contingent was greeted with
npplnuse. Following theao the Veteran
America , consisting of a drum corps , and
the people waved their handkerchiefs and
stood on their feet to elvo the old soldiers
a warm welcome OB they inarched forward.
The Original America was the next on the
eceno nnd It was a strange sight to BOO the
Indian braves In all the glory of feathers
nnd war paint march forward to the sound
of martial music.
Thry , too , wore greeted with applause
but the great wlvos wore held In reserve
until the returning heroes made their np-
poarance.
Before the heroes marched In the audi
ence arose to a grand chord nf "America"
and the vast assemblage , led by the band ,
thundered the national anthem In n pound
like the rushing of many waters. At the
close of the song the returning heroes , Im
personated by the Thurston Rifles nnd
headed by Adelmann'fl hand , marched for
ward nnd were recclvjd with tremendous
hand-clnpplng.
IJiulu li IJInni ) of Olory.
The grand flnalo waa a beautiful sight.
With the shell of the granilatand for a back
ground there was grouped a laige number
of soldiers , Indians and Rough Riders. Rod
lights v\ere thrown over the whole and as '
the band closed with the ntralna of tha
"Star Spangled Banner" beautiful flroworks
were act off back of the shell , which painted
the sky with every color ot the rainbow and
eeemed to fill the heavens with multicolored
ored stars. Torches were set ablaze In the
brush back of the stand and the rising
vmoko and the rushing rockets made a
scene that has eldom been equaled. The
eight wan Indescribable and the people stood
up In wonder as they viewed It.
During the performance a touch of humor
was Interpolated by the appearance on the
stand of Slgfrlod , who impersonated Band-
maater Sousi. He took the baton from Mr.
Dellste-dt and conducted one of Sousa's
marched , exhibiting many of the mannerisms
of tha 1)real bandmaster In such a taktug
way that he waa called back several tlmre.
Another humorous featurn was the playing
of "Hot Time , " arranged by Mr. Dellstcdt.
It wcs arranged so that several unusual in
struments had eolos , from the thin piping
of the flute to the heavy rumble of a basa
horn , following each other.
On the whole the performance was most
creditable and the people of Omaha have
already begun to clamor for Us repetition.
It was an cnormoua undertaking and tooti
some hard work to bring It to perfection.
Mr. Kelly and Mr. BelbUdt divided tin.
honors after the extravaganza was over and
were surrounded by many people assembled
to congratulate them.

There were many signs of activity around
the Horticultural building Monday and be

fruit ever p\A together In the state wn
occupying tablca and the fragrance of ap-
plra and grapes waa mingled with the scent
of flowers. The exhibit is not only exten

riety of different sorts of fruit and many
fine specimens of the different varieties.
0\cr 6,000 plates ot fruits and nuts have i
been placed and before the display Is com *
plotcd about 1,000 moro plates will be put
on.
on.Tho exhibit contains a slnwlng of Ne
braska products exclusively and consists of
apples , grapes , pears , peaches , pawpaws ,
plums and several varieties of nute , The
best showing la that of Nemnha county ,
which ftlono baa 600 platen. There are 123
varieties of fruits and nuts on the table ,
the dUplay containing such rare things .is
pawpaws , sweet chcetnutR , pecans , hickory
and hazel nuts and all the fruits Indigen
ous to the soil ot the state. This exhibit
will undoubtedly get the first prize , It be
ing the largest and containing the greatest
variety. O. P. Dovel Is the superintendent.
Ho was asalstod In getting the "show together -

Youngora Is on the ground to superintend
the 'show. Pawnee county also Is well rep

some reason the crop this year is not of
the largest.
Today the Judges will awnrd the prizes

attend during the week.
PAINTINGS IX GALlEirV NO. f > .
Sonic CniivnncK that Attract Attention
nt it Ctiraory Glance.
The Fine Arts building Is dally attract
ing more visitors for the reason that It Is
becoming known that the largest and beet
collection of paintings ever brought to
gether west of Chicago Is to bo seen In the
building. A gallery with some 900 can
vases , some ot them of very superior , and
all of moro or loss merit , is not to be found
In every city. The collection of pictures
Is bettor this year than last , for the reaoan
that there are more good pictures , although
there are fewer surpassingly good paintings
this year than last. In every gallery there
are pictures that will repay the , closest
scrutiny and hardest study , i >
In gallery No. 6 there are several very
good pictures. By reason of its size , the
painting of the World's Fair at Chicago
attracts the flrat attention In this depart
ment. This Is a largo picture , done by John
H. Key , director of the art exhibit. The
work Is a faithful representation of the
Greater White City and makes an Interesting
comparison with the present exposition.
Ono of the good things on the wall is
the "Pence and Plenty , " by Leonard Ocht-
man. The scene painted Is a wheat field In
the midst of a harvest. The saffron hue
of tha field Is flno and one almost feels
the heat beating down. In the distance is
a load of the sheafed grain being hauled
away.
"A Critical Moment , " by P. Lorenz. who
has been doing some excellent western
scenes ot Into years , Is a clcturo full of
action and life. Two men on horseback at |
full gallop , the ono in the lead evidently
a fugitive from Justice , pursued by an
avenging Nemesis on horooback with a lasso ,
make UD the actors. The stretch of prairie
Is good , and the dust from the horses' hoofs
makes a flno blur over the beatlne feet. A
group of canvases in which flocks of sheep
make the life element Is by A. J. Fournler.
The pictures are all well done , and it is
hard to eeloot the better once , tor all have
an element of goodness. Perhaps the most
pleasing is "Tho Wet Day at Voulangls. "
There is a wetness about the foliage that
lines tha road , and the Ilttlo rivulets of
water In the paths give a feeling of damp
ness tha * . Is appreciated.
A picture on a different order by the same
nrt'-et la "Silvery Moonlight In Minnesota. "
This Is n little , misty , silvery thing , with
a 1 > t of watur In the foreground , and It Is
fatllifully done. There Is a soft beauty
about It that has quite a charm. "The
Old lload , " by Frank Enders , Is a very
pretty bit of a landscape. An uninterest
ing subject Is made Interesting under this
man's brush Thcro are many other plc-
turro that will boar study , but these are n
few that claim attention In a cursory glance

by the way , It was ono of the best enter

master In the art of program making , nnd
with the able co-operation of Conductor
BelUtedt they succeeded In putting the crowd
> In mich a good humor that they mnro than
appreciated the good things of the Midway.
At the merry-go-round a Jolly crowd of
buslners men and tliolr wives were seen rid

TO AVOID PAVEMENT TAXES
Snlt IlrniiRlit liy Sevcrnl Partlrn to
Annul Certain Improvement
Ordinance * .
C. Shlverlck , the Board of Church
Extension of the United Presbyterian
Church of North America and the Omaha
Savings bank have entered suit In the dis
trict court against the city of Omaha to an
nul the ordinance under which certain
streets were paved , and thereby to avoid
payment for the Improvements on the
thoroughfares upon which their property
abuts.
The complaint alleges that ordinances Nos.
1578 , 1540 , 1145 and 1825 , providing for the
paving of certain streets In the city , are
null nnd void because they were not prop
erly advertised before being passed by the
city council , and such being the case , any
work performed by the city under their pro
visions is consequently illegal and the city
has no right to assess abutting property
and attempt to collect the special tax levy.
The suit will attract considerable atten
tion , not on account of the amount of
taxes which the plaintiffs seek to avoid pay
ing , but because if they succeed In proving
the ordinances cited are Illegal1 and can
thereby avoid the special assessment levied
against them , the other property holders
along the streets In question will Immedi
ately enter similar suits and the city Itself
will probably have to pay for the Improve
ments made.

The remains of George Canfleld , one of

The Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben have taken

NEW BLOOD IN ITS VEINS
Reorganized RepnbHcxn County Committee
Pull of Vigorous Lifo ,
READYTOWAGE AN AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN
I'olltlcfnnn Ilrgnril It nn One of the
.lloit BfYectlve CnnipnlRtt Orannl-
zatloiin of llcccnt Ycnr
1'onocrnttc
In the opinion of shrewd political ob
servers one of the most encouraging
features of the organization of the repub
lican campaign eommlUco consists In the
cleaning out of the Incompetents and
grafters from the county central com
mittee by the action ot Saturday's con
vention. General comment Is to the effect
that the now committee Is ono of the
best ever designated to handle the affairs
of the party In Douglas county and that Its
composition prwmges energetic and aggres
sive work duilng the next two months.
Influences that have operated In the past
to hinder the success of the party have
boon cffacod and the principle of rotation
In office , that has been a cardinal repub
lican doctrine , has been carried Into
practice ,
Thcro has been considerable complaint
during recent ywirs that a membership on
the committee was getting to be a llfo In
stitution. This was not regarded with
favor by the rank and fllo of the party ,
where Uio opinion prevailed that men who
served for a Umo on the committee should
make way and give the others a chanco.
This Idea was effectively carried out In
the lost reorganization. Scarcely moro
than a dozen of the members of the pre
vious committee remain on the list. A
few were retired for cause , and others ,
moro or less willingly , made way for other |
men willing to take their turn In assisting
to steer the machinery. Most of the new I
rnon have Been service on previous county
or city committees , and are co-n W rrd
well equipped to advance the lntre tfl of
the party in the preclncta that they repre
sent. There has been a general Infusion
of young blood , and It Is the general
verdict that the committee Is , In the ag
gregate , an organization ot hustling ,
capable and aggressive republicans who
will make a vigorous and successful cam
paign. As , under the new law , every
dollar handled by the committee must bo
accounted for , no perquisites go with the
position.
In comparing the new committee with
the ono that haa Just retired It la noticed
that all the Omaha wards , except the
Third , Fourth and Slrth , are represented
by entirely new delegations. In the First
ward Henry Inman , George Cathroo and P.
M. Bock retire In favor ot Samuel Scott ,
Hans Dock and Clyde Sundblad. In the
Second Charles Kcsaler , Fred BrurUng and
John Anderson arc succeeded by Charles
Southard , Henry Vavra and Gus Johnson.
Frank Heacock and Nate Brown hold over
from the Third and Jake Lewis Is added
In place of Louis Burmester. , , Harry B.
Morrlll succeeds Gustavo Anderson In the
Fourth and Victor Roeewater and J. H.
Adams are re-elected.
The convention performed an net of
charity for the party by retiring W. A.
Saunders , George H. Hess and W. Y. Teet-
zel of the Fifth ward and electing A. H.
Donocken , J. P. Rcdmon and P. M. Mullln.
In the Sixth Ed Taylor Is the only man
who holds over and I.v Q , . Barlght and
George Sablne , M. J. Kcnnard and M. H.
Jacob Jacobseii are succeeded by George H.
Moore and Robert Houghtqn. , The remainIng -
Ing wards have entirely ninpvr delegations ,
Collins succeed A. C. Powers , iG. S. Ambler
and H. E. Coohran In the - Seventh , Ed
Bralley , R. P. Dolman and August
Schrocder succeed K. Bt Fisher , 0. H.
Youngors and R. C. Rowley In the Eighth ,
and H. P. Stoddart , C. E , Herring and W.
A. Gardner succeed H. C. Alkcn , Charles
E. Winter and Charles E ( Miller In the
Ninth.
From South Omaha Frank Jones nnd O.
E. Bruce are re-elected. J. G. Trouton suc
ceeds James Austin and John Mclntyro
takes the place made vacant by the retire
ment of George Sherwood.
In the country precincts the changes are
almost equally numerous. From Florence ,
F. S. Tucker and H. G. Sutty succeed E. H.
Walker and C. V , Fouke. Douglas re-elects
Its old delegation , G. W. Henry and E. G.
Hlneman. H. M. Puffer remains from Valley ,
but C. 0. Carlson succeeds M. Johnson. Jef
ferson has a now delegation In D. H. Klrsch-
ner and C. F. Gotsch. The retiring mcm-i
bers are Peter Mangold and Charles Stcln-
ert. S. A. Forgey succeeds W. H. Simpson
from Union , but L. G. Duckor remains. F.
A. Saussay was re-elected from Clontarf and
John A. Karllng succeeds W. W. Wilde.
S. H. Howard and Smith Brown ore new
members from Waterloo , vice J. O. Soefus
and B. B. Hopper. Isaac Noyes and William
Frey of Elkhorn retire In favor of J. W.
Glnnes and Frank Bessey , and H. P. Leay-
Itt and H. F , McCoy of West Omaha give
place to Samuel Flnlayson and A. Rogert.
L. S. Halnes and P. B. Clauasen succeed
themeelves from West Omaha and Charles
WItte and Robert McCormlck of Chicago
are also re-elected.
The fact that the democratlo state cora-
rnlttco has opened headquarters In Omaha
has called the attention of local republicans
to the desirability of having their own etato
headquarters In thla city during the cam
paign. The opinion la practically unani
mous that Douglas county utll bo the storm
center , and that good politics makes It es
sential that the campaign should bo con
ducted from this point. It Is suggested that
the location of the headquarters and the
presence of the prominent republican * ) that
It would draw to Omaha during the cam
paign would have a marked Influence In
Inspiring the workers of the county to ener
getic efforts In behalf ot the ticket. It Is
felt that , with the democratic headquarters
In Omaha and the republican headquarters
at another point , the fuslonlsts would acquire
an advantage at the outeet that would have
more than a little effect.
The popocratlo county conventions will
meet In Omaha Saturday and the elate car
penters are already against a proposition
that promises to exceed their diplomacy. As
the situation stands now the democrats ap
pear to have the Inside track as far as all
the Important offices are concerned. They
claim sheriff , clerk of the courts , county
judge , county treasurer and commissioner

from the Third district , allowing the populists -
lists county clerk and county superintendent ,
and the silver republicans the commlssloner-

One ( > t Hut wannest contests Is likely to
oooar IB the clnrfclbln of the court. Pete
15aas ! * r look the polo at the start and ho
was permitted to labor under the ImproEdon
that bo was practically the whole thing.
Since then , however , the steering committee
has Issued a manifesto to the effect tnat
Pete must bo turned down and the Second
ward Is draped lu red.
There has been : i good deal of question as
to what man should bo selected to beat
Elsasser , but there are Indications that tbn
combination will Hcht on Frank Broadwell
of South Omaha. Uroodvrall was previous
ly a candidate for county treasurer but the
antl-Blsasser element concluded that he
would be a good man for their purpose , and
he baa been Induced to re-coneldcr ana
coma out as an open Candidate for tta
clerkship. The South Omaha dolegitlti U
a big Item In a convention , nnd with thin
behind Broad well the combine thinks It
can muster enough outside votes to make
him. Harry P. Deurt and E. S. Streator
are also candidates and there Is still a
possibility that the choice may fall on one
of them. The leaders want the man whi.
can beat Elsasser and Elsasaer's friends do *
clare that this will only bo accomplished
after one of the sauciest mixups that the
gang bos bean against for eome time.
John Powers , Harry C. Miller and Con
Gallagher are candidates for sheriff , but
Powers la coming strong as they near the
finish. There are intimations that cither
Miller or Gallagher may be dropped early In
the proceedings In order to bead Powers
off , but the friends of the First ward candi
date are beginning to count on his nomina
tion aa beyond question. Powers himself
admits that he is pitted against a strong
l candidate in Burmcster but , having gone so
far , he declares ho Is still la the race.
The woods are still being scoured for a
candidate for county treasurer who can ap
proximate Frank Bryant in fltness for the
position and popularity. A number of dele
gations have called on Frank Burkley in the
hope of being able to Induce him to make
the race , but Burkley Insists that he Is
not on the track this season. He can have
the nomination on a platter if be wants it ,
but apparently considers it a good thing
to let alone. The democrats Insist that
they must have a good German for this po
sition but German democrats ore com
paratively a scarce article and the supply
of timber Is limited.
There Is some talk of giving the Job to
the populists in case the democrats cannot
get a man who satisfies them. It Is the
old otory of giving the pops what they don't
want themselves , but In this case the populists -
| lists assert that they do not want it. They
eay that they have no man who wants the
I nomination who would be able to put up
the bond that Is required and that they will
have 'to concede this place to the compara
tively affluent democrats.
That little controversy over the third dis
trict commlBslonershlp Is still hanging flro.
The democrats continue to demand that the
populists pull Williams off and make room
I for Peter Hofeldt , while the pops decline
| to retreat. The democrats have offered to
swap the treasurerahlp for the commUslon-
orshlp , but the halt was refused and the in
dications are that Williams will stay In
the field.
In the Fifth district the silver republi
cans , as personated by Tom Gturgess , are
generally conceded the coxnmli&lonershlp.
Cbarloy Curtis remains the populist candi
date for county clerk and If the populisms
have any men who wants to run against
Superintendent Bodwell ho can have the
chance for the asking.
Evidently the county attorney's office pos
sesses few attractions for democratic office
holders. At Shield's Insistent request he
waa put on tlio Judldal ticket , and now
John II. Grossman wanta a new Job. He Is
slated by the democrats for county Judge
} and ao for he boa little apparent opposition.

republican party the county convention has
undertaken to forestall tlio republicans of
the city In their right to nominate the
party candidates for city ofllcers by repub
lican city convention ca1U\l for tb l
purpose.
People ot all political parties rely upon
thotr political organization to give the
members of the party a reasonable no
tice , that the party will make a nomina
tion for nn office , but In this cose , under
the direction of parties who se nnd to got
control of the convention , without a mo
ment's notice that such an unprecedented
act would be perpetrated , procured the
convention to make a nomination for police
Judge.
I will not at Oils Umo discuss the cause
for such soorot and unwarranted action.
It Is sufficient to say that certain high
city officials , who had great Influence In
Bald convention , very much desire to bring
an end to my official career as police Judge ,
and this they cannot do by leaving It to
the republican voters of the city. Their
reason for wishing to dispense with my
services will bo given at another time.
I have been a republican all my llfo and
fully appreciate the honors which the re
publican party hoa bestowed upon me.
As n republican I had the right , as every
other republican had , to notice that the
convention would nominate a candidate for
police Judge. If a police Judge Is to bo
elected I will take a hand In the pro
ceedings.
I desire to announce to the voters ot
Omaha that I wdll bo a candidate for the
office of polJco Judge at the ensuing elec
tion. S. I. GORDON.
PANEGYRIC ON THE FLAG
Address of W. N. Ilcunly at the Hon-
iinct lu Honor of Compuny
1C , ut ColnmliuN , Nell.
"Our Fl gl" What glorious recollections
and cherished memories cluster around those
hallowed words , "our flag , " Wherever
this cheering ensign of the republic floats
today , whether from the loftiest tower of the
most gorgeous city , or from the flagstaff
of the honored battleship , or wtether it
kisses with Its silken folds the gentle
breeze that fans the sweat bathed face of
the humble teller at his lonely work bench ,
all can look with confident hope and aspira
tion to that national emblem and exclaim :
"Our flog , my flag , " for It Is the common
heritage of all the people bequeathed unto
us by our forefathers under Washington ,
after long years of weary struggle , patient
suffering , nnd great sacrifices , and finally
triumphantly dedicated to the cause ot lib
erty in this land of freedom. The mere
mention of It stirs with deepest emotion In
every patriot's breast and the sight of It
rekindles in every heart that deep and abid
ing love of country which p&sslon may for
a time strain but cannot break asunder.
Consecrated In the blood of our forefathers ,
re-affirmed and re-enforced by the un
daunted and invincible Jackson , and again
re-baptized in the fraternal blood of a roll-
llcn earnest , loyal hearts In the fiery ordeal
of a hundred and more battle fields , stretchIng -
Ing from the Manassas to Appomattox , with
every star made brighter and every stripe
moro gloriously sanctified by the martyred
and Immortal Lincoln , that flag stands to
day and will continue to stand so long as
free Institutions exist on this western
hemisphere , as the symbol of our liberty ;
emblematic of our national unity under a
republican form of government and as the
bright bow of promise spanning our politi
cal skies guaranteeing to every cltlzru full
and equal protection to his life , his liberty ,
and In the pursuit of happiness. Proclaim
ing to the oppressed the world over the
fundamental truth that all men are created
equal , the downtrodden of other lands ,
finding , like the \\enrled dove , uo resting
place amid tlic old world's desolation , have
oou < ja rd the noblMt Initlnots ot the eoul ,
the IOTO of early homo , of birth
place , ot the scenes of childhood , and ot
the graves ot the beloved dead and have
sought hero a gathering place ot affection
under Its ample folds , where they have re
posed In safety and security from the
struggles which cursed their native land.
Under the Inspiration ot that flag the
cruel and chafing fetters of slavery were
forever stricken from 4,000,000 ot God's
creatures and they were bidden to Bland
forth In the sunlight of liberty and freedom.
Cuba , that Ilttlo isle nestling close to our
shores off our Atlantic bonier , turned with
piteous eyes to that flag and cried unto this
nation for release from the cruelties and
oppressions of brutal , monarchical Spain.
That appear was not In vain. Borne aloft
by strong and willing hands , and sustained
by the matchless courage and heroism of
liberty's naoBt loyal sons , that flag waa
carried over there , where the very sight of
It caused the unflrod Mauser to Involuntarily
drop from the hands ot 20,000 ot the mlulonu
of Spanish despotism the same flag that
forced the war fleets under Admirals Ccrvera
and Montejo to seek everlasting oblivion ,
and A fitting interment in ocean graves.
Ah ! what flag has no protected Us children ,
eo ennobled man , so elevated woman , so
inspired youth , EO given hope nnd promlso
to budding childhood , so smoothed the
descent to dreary age ; has so guarded free
dom of conscience and the sanctity of the
homes , N diffused intelligence , GO fostered
letters and the arts , so secured to all the
blessings of llfo , liberty and the pursuit ot
happiness ?
