Monday being a public holiday in view of the fact that Independence Day will be observed on the sth. instead of the 4th. which is Sunday, there will be no issue of this paper ¢n Monday sth. in- stant. So far there is no indication that there will be any public celebration on Monday. The races are the only attraction, and in all probability most of the townfoik will spend the day at Manuings Bay. For the promoters cf the yaces without which the day would be practically dead, and for all who have made arrangements for observing the chief national holiday in some worthy manner, we wish a jolly fourth of July.

What an auvdience he woald have got had he employed the newspaper! No great scheme, no idea, no difference of opinion can be satisfactorily discussed or settied outside of the newspaper. The Inger- soli-Gladstone, Ingersoll-Black, Ingersoll- Manning, Paine-Burke (I mention reli- gious controversips only) would not have heen consideved as mile-stones on the road of progress were it not for the vub- licity given them by the first class journ als of the world. [t is about time that the un-wspapers in these parts make it known that one can have whatever opinion one likes on the marriage question, or any other ques- tion for that matter as long as that opin- ion does not conflict witn the liberty or life of sther members of rhe community. On this score all thinking men and wo- men must make this final stand: “If we cannot have orth doxy and li- berty at the same Jdme, then let us have liberty and do away with orthodoxy.”’ Ynurs BEN BOLDT.
