The following year was a memor able one, for it witnessed the birth of the United States. On May 10, 1775, the second congress began Its session in the state house. On June 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee offered his resolution for the independence of tho colonies. On June 27, 1776, a dec laration of the deputies of Pennsyl vania expressing their willingness to concur in a vote of tho colonies, de claring the colonies free and inde pendent states, was read before con gress. On June 28, 1776, the .draft of tho Declaration of Independence was submitted to congress, which was adopted on tho evening of July 3, 1776: On July 4 copies of the Declaration wore sont .by congress to the com manding, officers of the continental troops, and to all the countries' of tho province.

J.UU ' Coming Homo To Roost In the course of its long-and undis puted control of tho law-making ma chinery of tho state of Wisconsin the republican party, with a disregard of the principles of common justice of liberty and of public decency which is common to parties long in power, enacted a law prohibiting the appear ance of any candidate's name in more than ono place on the ballot. This cynical prostitution of the function of legislation to purely and avowedly partisan ends was not confined to Wis consin. Similar outrageous abuses of authority conferred, in the interest of the whole peoplo disgrace the statute books of numerous commonwealths whoro "the machine" had reason to fear that fusion would prove too strong for craft and greed, unless the citizen was hampered and obstructed in the free, Intelligent and indopon- 8.00 2.00 1.85 i.eo 1.85 1.35, 1.85 1.85 Club Price fl.36 1.35 1.50 1.85 2.85 1.65 1.85 1.45 Club Prlco 13.00 4.00 2.26 1.85 There never was or could be an hon est reason for any enactment of the kind; Its sole purposes were neces sarily to render selective voting diffi cult or impossible and to foster and assist minority government. But, while Wisconsin is not alone in having such a law, it is the first In which poetic justice seems likely to be satisfied by the recoil of this en actment against those who framed it. The two republican factions there have named separate state tickets, but an identical list of presidential electors and it is now up to them to devise some means whereby the bal lot can be conveniently arranged with Regard to this national ticket. Ob viously, If the names of electors ap pear only In the La Follette or only In the Cook column they will fall short by a good many votes of com manding the full republican strength of the state, yet this law, which was enacted as a republican coercive meas ure and to prevent the election of can didates favored by a majority &of the voters, prevents them from' being placed in both columns. To insure them anything like a fair show, there would have to be an amount of ac curate and Instructed splitting which is impossible of attainment. While deeply sympathizing with the honorable gentlemen who have been nominated for electors, it is im possible to withhold a smile of pleased approval at the way tho sins of a despotic party machine have found it out. Detroit Free Press. "Mr. Stanley, I Presume" Of all the incidents in the life of Sir Henry M. Stanley, the most famous was his meeting with Dr. Livingstone, the lost missionary-explorer of Africa. Stanley's own account of this helped to make it so, says the New York Sun. Everybody saw the unconscious hu- 1dont exorcise of tlxe elective Xnmchfce. treconterlnVa llUle ! side village thousands of miles from civilization, marched with flags flying and guns firing to the group of natives surrounding the solitary white man in the whole region, lifted his hat and said, just as politely as he might have done on Broadway: "Dr. Livingstone, f presume? ' Negro minstrels caricatured it, ev erybody laughed over it and then it was forgotten almost until on a very solemn occasion it was recalled to the explorer himself. After his return to England from the relief of Emin Pasha, when honors of all kinds were being heaped upon Stanley this was before he became Sir Henry, M. P. Cambridge University summoned him to commencement to receive from her the honorary degree of LL. D. The senate house was crowded, the recipients of degrees of honor wero numerous and of great dignity. Tho Duke of .Devonshire, chancellor of tho university, conferred the honors, and up in the gallery the under-graduates, In. accordance with a time-honored custom, guyed each dignified recipient as he came forward in hood, and gown to receive (he parchment creating him ah honorary doctor of the university and to hear the public orator sound his praises in formal Latin phrase. At last came Stanley. As ho moved forward to the rostrum a shrill, piping voice from the short-gowned youths in the gallery Inquired: "Mr. Stanley, I presume?" And chancellor, public orator nnd even Stanley himself ' joined in tho roar of laughter which swept through the senate house.
