The three inevitable forms in which Presidential
candidate is introduced TO the acquaintance of the
whole people have now been completed, in the case
Of Gov. Hayes. First there is the portrait of every
degree Of goodness and badness, photographed, en-
graved on steel, Autographed, and cut on wood
secondly, the biography ranging from Mr.. Howells's
graceful and scholarly work to the half-column
sketch Of the country paper and lastly, the bust.
Mr. o. l.. Warner is the fortunate young sculptor
who has secured such a certain currency AID prob
able popularity forone of his first works. Although,
considered as a work Of art, the bust shows some
signs of the haste with which tlnust have been ex

On the first Of January, 1776, Wash
angton first unfolded our flag to the
brseZes at Cambridge, but it was not
the flag We fly te-day-not the stars
and stripes. 1t was more an imitation
OF the English one, having stripes, but
having the crosses Of St. George and
and st. Andrew on a blue ground
That was the flag at the time the Dec
laration was sigaed and for about a
year longer. On the 14th Of June,
1777, Congress passed bill which be
came law, September 18th, making
the stars and stripes our National flag,
with IL stars and Is stripes. That
flag was first unfurled at the surrender
of Burgoyne on tho 18th of October of
that year. 1t continued to Le the fac,
unchanged, until in 1894, when Yer
mont and Kentucky were admitted as
States, and then Congress added two
stripes and two stars. It was under q
flag OF seventeen stripes that we fought
the war of 1912. But it became evil
dent before long that to add stripe
every time We took in a State would
by and by require change in the ma
ture OF fag-staffs in order to accommo-
date the vast expanse of canvas. and
so in 1918 Congress passed another
law reducing the number to thirteen
stripes and fixing it there's with the
stars in circle on blue ground, one
for each State. AF

AN IMPORTANT Bull.

A billfor the reduction of salaries of
'Congfessmen and executive officers Of
the Government was introduced in the
House of Representatives yesterday.
This is practical step toward reform.
and the passage of the bill will be an
indication that the House means bust
ness. The scarcity of money
is general throughout the country,
though much more apparent
in the Atlantic States than on
this coast. Business of every character
is depressed, and the purchasing power
of a greenback dollar is almost twice
what it was ten years ago. There is no
justice in allowing the President
$50, 900 per annum. when bis prede-
cessors in the White House received
but half that amount. During, and
since the war the salaries of nearly all
the Federal officers wers increased, and
reasonable reduction is now in order.
Congress for many years past has
been noted for the ease and facility
with which it Increased the pay of its
members as well as that of the officers
of the General Government generally,
and it is time that a move in the other
direction was made. 1t is a difficult
task for the members of legislative
body to reduce the salaries Of them
selves and other officers. and it is
doubtful ii the present Congress will
accomplish it. We must wait and
see.

NO VACANCY.

In February. 1876, seven months af-
ter his election as Controller of the
State of California, Hon. James W.
Vaudeville died. Governor Irwin i'm
mediately commissioned VIM. B. G.
Brown, then chief deputy in the Con-
troller's Office in place of Vaudeville.
As the Presidential election of this year
approached the Governor was requested
to add the Office of Controller of State to
the Presidential electors in bis procla-
nation of election. This he refused to
do. However, the Republicans went on
and nominated D. NJ. Kenfield, of Tuol-
umne county for Controller. On the
. other hand the Democrats hung fast to
Brown. alleging the Governors right to
fill all vacancies of the kind by appoint-
ment. The consequence was that no
one but Ken6eld was voted for at the
election.
Now Kenfeld applies for certificate
of election to the Secretary of State
Beck-apd is refused. He next goes
for a commission from the Governor,
and that is refused. The probabilities
are that a quo ,cdrranto suit will be
. commenced by him, to ohlige the Gov
ernor to show why certificate of elec-
Ion should not issue to him. Our
opinion is that the court below will
issue the writ and that its decision will
be reversed by the Supreme Court. The
latter body is composed Of three Re-
publicans and two Democrats. but We
have no fear of any partisan ruling
from such a bench. The case will be
decided upon whether the Constitution
of California gives the Governor right
to appoiut (in cases of vacancie- by
death or removal) for the entire term of
the party SO deceased or disqualified; or
whether LIE can only appoint for the
time elapsing between the death of one
elected officer and the next general
election. Our idea is that under the
Constitution, Kenfield is private citi-
zen, as no vacancy existed on the day
of election.

NEW COUNTY.

The intent of forming new county,
to be called Skagit, ou: of portions of
Whatcom, Snohomish and Island, with
q county seat at Utsalady. seems to Be
uppermost in the minds of several of
the local politicians of that vicinity. 1t
seems to us a queer idea to take up ter
ritory enough to make a county, en-
brscing equal area to the whole State
of Connecticut, and then put the coun-
ty seat off in one corner and on an is-
land at that. If the great valley of the
Skagit and its tributaries, are fit ba-
sis for a new county, the seat of govern
ment should be at some point on the
river, and about halfway between its
mouth and the head of navigation. This
entails no inequality of travel among
witnesses and jurors. We believe tha
the section referred to can easily SUD-
pert county government and the next
five years will prove it. We are oppos-
cd to locations Of county seats upon
lands owned by large milling compAn-
les, because it cramps the masses for
the benefit of ring.
Hence we say. let Utsalady take care
of itself in that respect. 1t is the best
shipyard site on the coast, and one bar k
built there will bring more trade than
3 dozen lawsuits. By the first of May
there will be steamboat running up
that river. and in five years hence grain
ships will be as plenty here as colliers
and lumber droghers are now. There
will be dairy farms and sto OK k-ranchers
strung along for fifty miles above where
steamboat can go. The man who
will 60 up that river, select good spot
free from overflow, and erect mill for
grist and lumber. will see his name
among the solid men, in less than ten
years. Manufactures are what make
big towns.
