TILE ENSLGN OF TIE REPTBLIC.

Wherever we may now 20, in doors and out
in streets and shops and malket-piaces, our
ewes are greeted by innumcrable reproductions
in cotton, IN silk, in bunting, OF the Spangicd
Banner. Hundreds of luchsterS sell 1t with
poles proper for its display. Jobbers of dry
goods otter il in the form of handkcrchieis,
Of aprons and even of dresses. Ii flutters
from roofs and windows and masts-irom
every point and peak OF vantage. Since our
civil troubles set it Tapping through the
length and breadth of the loyal States there
has been no display OF il so general.
All national flags have their history. and tho
story of our own is not the least interesting.
la adoutiOn by the Congress Oh the 11th of
June 1777, was a token that the provinces
were acquiring q national conference. Up to
that time the cO0nists had been fighting under
no common banner. At first the " Union flags"
were the red ensigns of England, with some
patriotc motto, such as Liberty" or "Liberty
"and Property Connecticut displayed her
arms; the NewYorb armed ships the beaver;
at Bunker Hill, Putnam fought under red
flag with the Connecticut legend On one side
ami AN Appeal 10 Heaven" upon the other.
This motto the Provincial Congress Of Massa-
chusctts adopted for its pine tree flag. This
was the flag borne by the first ships Of war
commissioned by Washington. The flag at
Fort Moultie was blue with white
crescent and the word "Liberty." The "great
union raised by Washington at Cambridge,
Jan. 2, 1776. consisted of 13 alternate red
and white stripes, with the crosses of st.
George and St. Andrew emblazoned. The Is
stripes said to have been first used as the
banner of a Philadelphia troop of Lighthouse
in 177i or 1775. Nearly year elapsed after
the Declaration of Independence before Con-
gress resolved that the flag of the l3 United
Estates be - stripes alternate white and red :;
that the union be 13 stars, white in a blue
"fied, representing a new constellation" and
arranged in circle In 1894, Vermont and
Kentucky having been admitted into tho
Union, the number of stars and stripes was
augmented 20 Is; and this was the flag used
in the war of 1912. The stripes were reduced

ST.. LOUIS, June 2S.-Littlo can be said definitely
in the irs confusion of congratulations aud rejoicing
among the delegates tonight to the nomination
for Vice-Prcsidont. II the Convention lad gone on
to nomination tonight there can be little question
that Gov. Hendricks would have been chosen. Ad-
jourument oyeI nsht allows II further opportunity
for discussion. The name Of Congressman Morrison
OF Illinois is frequently mentioned, and hs friends
are very urgent, believing they carry Illinois
with him. There seemed 10 bo many who ex-
pected to SEQ Hendricks the successful man.
Tire real choice of Gov Iildens friends seemed TO
be first for Mr.. Morrison, second for Mr.. Palmer,
third FOR Jlr Bayard, fourth for Mr. Thurman, and
last of ii for Gov He e~lricks. Nevertheless there
strong pressure for Hendricks from his friends
whJ wanted to console Linn. A telegram was re-
ceived late al night from Gov. Hendricks, however
positively declining the nomination ior the Vice
Presidency. This certainly improves Mr.. horrison's
chance of receiving the nomination.

The National Board of Trade did some good
work yesterday, and some that was not so
good. The resolution urging that steps be
promptly taken TO fund supcrtiuous legal-ten-
der notes while business Is dull and there IS
no Use for them, will recommend itself to the
good sense of the public. The proposition to
have new department founded at Washing

The stoppace agreed upon by most OF the

there is very little business stirring. This con-
