By what process of reasoning can it be
. -argued that while no; beer could 'be aU
lowed in camp for the men that officers
- could have what champagne they desired
at the Colonel's tent? We would like to
know if the officers of the O. N. G. are any
, better than the men who carry the guns
' in the . ranks?. The-men who 'walked
through the dust and heat of Saturday
were' the peers of those who rode OA
horse-back aud were clothed in a little
brief authority, and in very " many rin-
stances the men in the ranks, as far as
brains and ability were concerned .Stood
.bead and shoulders above their ; com
manders. And yet champagne- was
. none too good for the officers' mess." It
in ", against army regulations to Jiave
liquor in camp and had there been no
hmmtme at -headauartera no lnotinir
of the same would have occurred. ' Any
thing that was good enough for the 'staff
was good enough for the boys (and (they
got it too)..- We do not think that the
officers' mess should .''kick" at the loss
. oil that four dozen of champagne.. 'The
yyf boy a. were in for fun and . the wine was
alroti in n n .1 V. r orud all tliaMk
was of it. The men thi t took the Wine
were not drunkards and did not care
for' the ' liquor we are sure. But the
wine should not have been there , and
then the trouble, would not have oc
curred. If there is any" court "martial
growing' out of the affair the officers
'ehould be in it", as well as the men.
Cf the staff could 'not entertain their
' visitors without the use of wines and
liquors then their intelligence' was not
" above par, and. if tHey could not get
along for six days without liquor aa well
as their men, -then they were not fit to
command. j. was a ugraiTiui piece 01
V business," allowing the champagne in
: cancJ.and if there is any means of reach
ring and punishing the officers that kept
" it there we hope these means; will 'be
used. If there be no means, bo much the
. worse for the Third regiment.
THE -CELEBRATION.
How The Dalless People Showed their
Patriotism , on the Fourth The
Sham Battle Did Not Occur.
' The celebration of the Fourth : at "this
place was, in some respects a complete
success, and in others a complete failure.
The largest crowd perhaps, ever seen .in
The Dalles was gathered from all ; points
of the compass far, and near. The entire
program, with the "single exception of
the sham battle, was carried out accord
to arrangement, but the day was miser
able, almost beyond endurance," as 'the
wind blew almost a continual hurricane,
and filled eyes. and. ears with blinding
dust, .wljich the good natured crowd,
however; bore with remarkable equa
nimity and patience. The procession
was formed in time and place, as near as
could !bb to programme. About 500
members of the Oregon and Washington
guards-beaded the procession and. pre
sented a fine and imposing appearance..
These were followed by the J.' W. Nes
mith post G. A. R.t then the. Liberty
Car, drawn 'by four jet black horses
and filled' - with i : forty-four little
girls . of 'about - the ages of eight
to ten and Miss Annie Sylvester as god
dess of liberty. This was followed by
wagons filled with army baggage of the
O. N. G. followed by citizens in wagons
and carriages. Then came the band,
then; the fire -engines followed by, the
members of the fire companies, then the
hose carts and ladder truck, then the
members of The Dalles bicycle club on
their vehicles, then came a baud of In
dians dressed in war costume and
gorgeous in paint : arid feathers,
then came Indians in" wagons and hacks,
followed by a genuine prairie schooner
propelled by a yoke of patient oxen, the
schooner filled with men, women, chil
dren, and the usual assortment of broken
chairs and cracked pots and indented
tinware. Back of the wagon and hitched
to it was a delapidated cayuse covered
with a ' cloth on . which was printed
"Billy's Horse.'' Then came a genuine
old-fashioned stage coach drawn by - six
horses followed by an imitation of a
modern railroad coach of the U. P. trans
continental line on which, among other
appropriate devices was . the legend
"This is the road you long have sought
and mourned because you found it not."
TlWs was followed by a handsomely
decorated wagon, belonging to the enter
prising firm of Joles Brothers ; then a
line of citizens and a procession of plug
uglies closed the rear, j .--
Governor Pennoyer, who came up for
that purpose,- viewed the procession of
the 'National Guards from an open car
riage. . , ' .'"'."
. . THKOKATION.
' The vast procession formed in front
of the speaker's stand and after music
by the band' Judge Bennet called on
Rev. C. W. Curtis to lead in prayer, af
ter which the declaration of independ
ence was read, with very clear and dis
tinct enunciation by Mr. John Michell,
editor of the Times-Mountaineer. After
more music by the band Judge Bennet
introduced Jhe orator of the day Hon.
C. W. Fulton of Astoria. Mr. Fulton
commenced by.- saying that he was in,
favor of . the celebration of Independ
ance day, and of every thing connected
witn it irom ine tat man ana plug -uglies
up. Every American boy should be
told the history of his country and of
her struggles for freedom. They should
be made familiar with the history of
revolutionary times and: of the heroes
who took part in it. I would teach them
the. history of Washington not partic
ularly the ' hatchet story that I would
reserve till .they should become members
of the common council or of the legis
lature, but I would have told them of
ine aarx ciouas that gathered over our
nation when internal foes sought its de
struction and by what means these
clouds were finally dispelled until now
we possess the blessings of "Union aad
liberty, now apd forever, one and insep
arable." The day we celebrate is of pro
found, interest s to every , lover of the
country, 115 years ago, first called the
United States of America." We, of the
present generation are specially privil
eged to celebrate all the leading anniver
saries connected witn ine birth of a na
tion that excel Is, every other nation on
earth in everything from a sweet potatoe
to a' cyclone. I believe it." is right; to
have a day specially devoted to the giv
ing vent to our patriotism : and as ' good
' champagne is known bjrvits effervessing
' mm 1 1 1 J(a hi nni nttfnntiam msv 1 w moaa.
j , , -
ured by the exuberance with ;which we
celebrate. I believe -in the American
eagle, and I love to hear it scream; and
I believe' in . the'stai . 6pangled banner
that has floated over our nation for the
past 115 years, the emblem of our lib
erty which ia growing grander and grand
er as the years roll . by. Jr. believe that
American manhood is the aggregation' of
air that Is "best f the earth's population
and that American ladies are only equal
to themselves, they only need wings to
be angels,, and these we don't , want
tnem to get yet awhile. 1 1 am no pessi
mist, l don't believe that all honesty
is gone from the earth and that the peo
phiof former generations were better
tb.an those of today. . I have no doubt
that many of . those whose names we are
proud to honor would have been as hard
to tackle in a horse trade .as. some of
their descendants. I believe that a gen
eration that set free four hundred mil
lions of human slaves is better than the
generations that kept them : in bondage
and when after four years of fratricidal
strife we can thus meet to celebrate ' a
Union still maintained or when a people
can. be roused to the cry pf suffering and
distress as in the Johnston's disaster or
yellow fever in the south or the Seattle
and Spokane fire, I believe - we have a
proof that the world is getting better.
But looking back' upon the past we
must admit that there have been defects
in .oarl io&Beattont? We iave-been
prooigal witn our liberty, ah nanonsi - . : :, .-.,..:-.
fhave been invited and the poor and i Th""""" of People- .witness the- Dis
I distressed' of all lands" have flocked here -; . r , pl la th BTenlng. ,
! and i w '- have1 made : them: welcorire.
While the majority came to support the
flag, others came to take advantage of
our liberty. This nation is good enough
for me, but I insist that we frame our
own laws and that no flag shall float over
us but our own stars and Stripes. If
this does not suit the asthetic taste of
the European'' anarchist or the Muffian
brigand it will not cost him a dollar to
move out from under the stars and
stripes and I am in favor of helping him
to do so as quickly as possible. Foreign
ers are welcome'but we have no use for
a class that comes here to decry or tram
ple upon our institutions. It is fit to
day that We should remember, not only
the name of Grant and Logan and Sher
man and Sheridan, but of the rank and
file of the grand army i-f the republic, of
the men whose patriotism inspired them
not to seek glory but to acchleve it in'
the path of duty. Where the grass grows
over their sacred dust it grows on the
graves of patriots. -All honor to the
Grand Army of the Republic, the living
and thedeadl ' We would remember too,
the great statesmen of the past ; men
wh, like Daniel Webster, wiser than
their generation,, pointed, out the danger
the labor of their lives sought to avert,
and him" who - 'stood foremost in . the
breach when the danger came, Father
Abraham, firm in his convictions as a
rock of adamant, but with a heart as
gentle as that of a woman. At the head
of my list of patriots of all time I place,
the name of Abraham Lincoln. Like a
magnificent comet that grows brighter
and brighter as it nears the sun, the
memory of Lincoln grows brighter and
brighter as time rolls on, while on t he
pages of human history no grander name
was ever written.
' At the close of Senator Fulton's ad
dress, of which the foregoing is ' but a
very imperfect synopsis, loud calls were
made for Governor Pennoyer - who re
sponded in a short, good-humored and
characteristic speech which was well and
cordially received and after the band
had played another selection the audi
ence was dismissed by Judge Bennet
and the vast crowd scattered, some to
their homes and others to the restau
rants and hotels or other . places of re
freshment. ' ' 1 '
THK,. ATHLETIC 8POKTS.

' THE ACCIDENTS.'
At least four accidents, three of them
of a-severe nature, occured. Saturday iu
connection with the' celebration at this
place. Otes Burford", son of J. T. Bur
ford of Centerville, was thrown violently
from a cart, oa the other side the river.
His arm was broken and the cart smash
ed into splinters. ; .: r
As the procession was marching west
on Fourth street the horse of adjutant
Ha worth became ungovernable, and as.
the saddle was loose Mr Haworth was
thrown violently . to the ground. No
greater injury resulted than a bruised
hip and a demoralized pair of regulation
pants. . .
As the procession of plug uglies was
marching west on' Second street near the
corner of Laughlin, a man ' named
Thomas, who was mounted on a pair of
stilts fully twelve to fifteen feet in the
air, tripped- and fell violently to the
ground, lighting on : his face. He was.
picked up bleeding and bruised . and
carried out of the sun where he soon re
vived sufficiently to be - able to walk to
his home. . - i. ; - t. . . ' ; :
The fourth accident was the worst of
all and those who saw it declare it was a
miracle that a life was not lost. In one
i one of the bicycle contests- at . the. Jair
ground as Mr. J. P. FitzGerald, . drum
major of the third regiment band, was
nearing the wire," his machine,-ran into
a dog that was lying on the. track. Mr..
FitzGerald was thrown violently to the
ground and for a time it was feared that
he was killed but, 'in a short time he
revived sufficiently to allowhimself to be
conveyed home where it was found that,
beyond some severe, bruises and cuts in
the face and arm he was '-not seriously
injured. He is resting easily today and
in a short time, we have no doubt,, will
be around again.- " Xfifth"accident," in
no' way connected with the -celebration
happened to H. Clerish an old and" well
known resident of this" city, who came
here in 1869, as a soldier under the com
mand of General Crook. ..""Mr.". Clerish
who keeps a boot black stand in front of
the barber shop of Mr JYasier, on First
street, had risen from bis chair beside
the stand, when he was suddenly. 'seized
with a fit of dizziness and . fell " on the
side walk. ' After a time he was able to
crawl into the barber shop -where he
was found later,' by persona returning
from the fire works.. Dr. Hollieter was
called in and found that the man was
suffering from a compound fracture of
one of his arms. The bones are said to
be broken in several pieces and . the "in
jury may result disasterously as Mr.
Clerish is old and of feeble constitution.

No- better", selection- could have-been
chosen than the foot of f Washington
street where the fireworks were let off
Saturday nights The banks of the lord
ly Columbia were covered by an immense
concourse of people who were delighted
by the display made. A barge was an
chored. near the sore and from that all
the fireworks were- discharged. The
committee showed as good taste in the
selection of fireworks as they did in the
location, and everythingMn regard to the
pyrotechnic display, was pleasing and
satisfactory. - The goods were purchased
of Mr. Jacobson and under , his manage
ment they were let off, and he is entitled
to much credit for carrying out so suc
cessfully his part of the celebration.
On the afternoon of the 4th inst. the
successful competitors in the athletic
sports held- by the third regiment-assembled
in Lieutenant Norton's rooms to re
ceive their prizes.' The lieutenant made
a charming address in which he reviewed
the even th of the week mentioning esi
peciaily their value as a precedent to fu
ture encampments. : To each of the. win
ners lie made a few appropriate and
graceful - remarks. - The boys appeared
to be more than pleased as well as satis
fied that every reasonable effort had
been made for their comfort and enjoy
ment. Before leaving they gave the
lieutenant three cheers and a rousing
tiger.
We had the pleasure of meeting John
Fulton, Esq., one of Sherman county's
prominent citizens, last Saturday, and
he- informs us that Sherman county is
wearing her best apparel this season,
and that her grain product will be the
largest and best ever known within' her
borders. Mr.Fulton thinks, 'should The
Dalles portage company build a narrow
gauge road out as far as Wasco, the peo
ple would make the road tell in their,
country. ,
To mend china take a very thick solu
tion of gum arabic and water, and stir
into it plaster of Paris until the mixture
becomes a viscous paste." Apply it with
a brush to the fractured edges and stick
them together In three days the arti
cle cannot be broken in the same place.
The whiteness of the cement renders it
doubly valuable. This one item will be
found worth the price of this paper five
years, to more than one reader.
. The thanks. of the community are due
to the Fourth of July committee which
lias labored with untiring zeal and assid
uity, for the past three weeks, and whose
labors were crowned with success in
everything except only in those things
beyond their control viz, rthe weather
and the sham battle. . f .
The river at this place, got muddy ' all
at once about ten o'clock this morning,
and began-to rise rapidly. The cause
may have been a water spout somewhere
east of here. -rr.
