A TRAGIC ILLNESS.
The sudden illness of King Kd
ward and the consequent postpone
ment of the coronation is one of the
most dramatic peaceful incidents
that has occurred in the world's
history. The illness of the King
at any time would have startled
the world. But coming as it did
a bare day or so before the corona
tion fete, brings the shock home to
millions of hearts with trip hammer
effect.
The preparations for the" day in
all their stupendous proportions
were complete. Kmbassics from
the ends of the earth were in the
King's city. Representatives from
the distant provinces of the empire
were at the feet of their sovereign.
Thousands of official visitors were
awaiting the coronation splendors
and thousands more who had trav
eled far to be private spectators
with common place historic events,
still it pulsated with vigorous
thought and commanded the un
divided attention of all present. In
the narrow limits of an hour Mr.
Fitch touched with eloquent lan
guage every vital point in America's
history since the declaration of In
dependence. He placed old ideas
in new settings and drew with the
consummate skill of the true orator,
lessons of value at the present time,
from the march of the past events
he so skilfully reviewed.
His speech abounded with the
sunshine and wit of the optimist,
who through many years of contact
with the sordid and contentious
world, still retains the magnetism
the songs of liberty as they went
down to the red death of battle in
order that this republic might live

"A splinter from an old-world
yoke grown ahd fashioned into
navies and cities."

and forests changed by the wand of

and soldiers, and statesmen, and
inventors, and mechanicians, and
philanthropists have made the nine

within our gates were amply satis
fied with the celebration of the
Fourth of July. The whole de
monstration was well organized and
faithfully carried out. Such a cele

is indicative of a firm foot hold of
American principles and sympa
thies. Tins resignation of Judge A. S.
Humphreys takes from the Hono

can be safely said that a judge with

Fitch that makes his utterances
glow. This is his secret. It is his
winning trait. It's his heart, more
than his brain that makes him an
eloquent man.

Tin; departure of C. F Richard
son from this life was not only a
personal bereavement to nearly
everyone on this Island but it came
as a shock to his wider circle of
friends and acquaintances Hying on
other islands.
So long as the Pope insists on
having control of the primary
schools in the Philippines, there is
no chance of a dicker between his
Holiness and Uncle Sam over the
Friar lands.

hater of kings, and his spirit was
eagle-winged in its searchings for
the uppermost ether of liberty.
The Declaration of Independence
which he penned is a knitted chain
of logic and a persuasive and pas
sionate appeal. Kven at this day
its sentences stir the blood like the
blare of trumpets. It proves the
government of George the Third to
have been the most unconscionable
of tyrannies. It state: the case of1
the colonists with a force of a de
monstration in mathematics, and
with the poetic beauty of a song of
David. It is Mirabcau's ideal de
finition of eloquence, "reason per

It is at once the protocol and the
epic of the revolution."
This triumvirate accomplished
the Revolution: "Thomas Jefferson,
the political philosopher, George
Washington, the soldier, and John
Adams, the statesman and diplo
mat, constitute the illustrious trium
virate of American revolutionary
history, and without the work of
each the others might not have suc
ceeded in creating, establishing and
guiding the new nation.
A spirit of popular self sacrifice
sustained them: "Yet even the cou
rage and the strategical genius of
Washington might not have availed
to establish the revolutionary cause,
had it not been
never since been a departure save
in behalf of larger liberty."
"This government is a republic
where the race must be to the swift,
and the battle to the strong. It is
a government where equality of op

teed, but where equality of result
will never be enforced."
"Wealth may control the making
of laws, bttt it dare not attempt to
become a tyrant to the individual."
"The millionare may buy sena
ators and judges, but he cannot
oust the pauper from his place in
line at the post office or the barber
shop, or force any man to take off
his hat, or deprive the driver of a
mule cart of his right of way! The
combined capital of Wall street
could not force an hours work out
of a tramp who prefers to lie upon
the grass."
