AS TO FLAGS.

Another discovery has been made in
Indiana. We say another, because a
certain hoosier who was the seventh
son Of a seventh son, discovered that
Indiana was to be peopled by black i'm
migrants from the south In order that
the voting strength of the republican
party might be increased. What is
now learned is that of all the northern
states Indiana Is the only one that has
no distinct flag Of its own. There
have been many conjectures made to
explain this strange neglect on the part
of the state officers. Loyalty issHpposed
to be manifested in the old flag and, in
the absence of the emblem is usually
discovered the absence of true patriot
ism.
1t occurs to us, while on the subject,
to say that hereafter less value may be
attached to flags in war. English mill
itary men, who have Of late years had
considerable experience in battles
where their troops were outnumbered
by the enemy, are of the opinion that
regimental colors in q battle are a
source of loss in q conflict. They have
no compensating advantages. In the
varying fortunes Of a battle the men
become widely scattered and the colors
claim constant protection Thus it is
often the case that many advantages
are lost because the soldiers are call
ed away from their vantage ground to
support the flag. Besides, they offer
good targets for sharpshooters.
There was a time, when soldiers
fought massed, that flags were of use
full service in marking the hottest spots
Of battles, and soldiers always knew
where TO rally. They were like the
white plume of Navarro, waving in the
thickest Of the fight. With the i'm
provements in the arts of war, and par
ticularly in the manoeuverings of an
army in battle, the necessity Of flags is
not SO great. 1t may yet be that they
will be dispensed with in action and
then less sentiment will be attached to
the starred and barred emblems.

Of q Lutte" AS a tactician his whole
ability has been put on paper. He de-
vised a system of maneuvres in the
eEemy,s country which attracted official
attention, and was Incorporated in the
regulations for the officers drill. The
fact that his lordship was sorely defeat
ed, with all his military learning, proves
that either his tactics are faulty, else
he lacks the ability to carry them out
in the presence of the enemy. Among
the older English officers the opinion is
unanimous that the tests applied for
promotion are wrong. Something be-
sides science and languages is necessary
to make a successful commander. Yes;
Lord Give is a noble example.

OUR readers will easily call to mind
the famous Glastonbury sisters, of the
historic patronym of Smith, who were
so thoroughly convinced of the wrong
of taxation without representation-in
the case of women-that they permitted
the constable to levy OIL their last COW
for taxes, rather than pay voluntarily.
Julia Edaline is the only surviving sis.
ter, and, as strong minded and all that
as she is, she astonished her coadjutors
by marrying, in her eighty-seventh year.

THE powers have got the khedive of

capital invested in the Suez canal, and
to protect their interests is their first

to the great waterway than France for
the reason that it is the shorter route

be completed? If 50. the outlook offers
some very interesting suggestions as to
politics, sociology and statistics. And
we may safely assume that as the men
who have already made the offers of
money and assistance are men who
mean business, there is a reasonable
prospect of success of the movement.
Speaking Of these three subjects in
the order of their prominence, we first
come to consider the changes politically,
which the proposed movement involves.
1t matters not how much the colored
population of the south decreases, the
political complexion of the states will
remain the same-solidly democratic.
But the south will lose, if a very mate
rial change be made in the population
before the taking Of the census, in this:
The congressional apportionment for
ten years will be made on the censu re-
port. 1t is possible that the decrease
in population may cause the loss of
several representatives. The solid
south, as a political power, would first
be weakened that much. On the other
hand, the same change of population
will work to the advantage of republic
can states like Kansas, as their repre-
s~entation will increase, while the as
tendency of the party a be strength
ened by the colored republican vote.
When the south, or the democracy,
loses a member, and the north, or the
republicans, wins that member, a differ
ence Of two is made in the majority.
This fact must make the southern poll
tician Vince, and it is not at all strange
In the nature of his viciousness, to
know that he patrols the river banks
with a shot gun to drive back the
would-be colored emigrants. The'north
is increasing in population steadily, the
northwest rapidly. There will be a
vast difference in the population, which
will increase the congressional repre-
sentation in a way that will make the
south howl with jealousy. In either as
pect, the south will be seen farther in
the rear. And the fact is remarkable
that the states which have grown most
rapidly, and will therefore send out
more congressman, are all republican in
politics.
Socially, the condition of the colored
men who remain in the south will be
improved, for the labor market will not
be crushed to the ground, nor will land
owners have the power to compel their
own terms. As to the condition of the
colored emigrants no one car doubt an
improvement. They will be among
honest and charitable people, and will
obtain better wages than before. Their
children will have the privilege of at
tending schools and becoming educated
and refined citizens.
As to statistics, the balance will be
against the south strongly. That Sec
ton is the slowest Of growth, at any
rate, but it will seem still slower in
comparison with the north, in the GEN.
sus of 80. Per contra, the increase Of
the section to which the new emigrants
will go, will appear as progressing in a
stronger ratio than ever. The effect of
this fact, in the way of encouraging
further immigration, is far reaching
and valuable.
On the whole, the colored folks and
the north have everything to gain in

CANADA has not Quoted down

CANADA has not quieted down since
the governor-general sent to Downing
street for advice. The politicians are
naturally the most active, and the op.
position to the government is visibly
growing. 1t is now asserted that ever
after the parliament passes the new
tariff bill Governor Lorne will take no
decisive action dntil he has been ad-
vised by Downing street. 1t is not i'm
probable that the signature of Lorne
will be withheld in that event. Then
Canada will howl. Nor will the voice

alone, but from all. There would be
no question at the succeeding election
more prominent than that of secession.

HELMINTHoLoGY.-O late years no de-
partment of natural history has attract
ed more attention than that of the study
of internal parasites in man and other
animals. To the great multitude and
variety of creatures thus found, associat-
ed by one common habit of life, have
biologists given the general name of Hell
minths, which are peculiar fauna des-
tined at some time in their lives to occu-
Ply an equally peculiar territory. That
territory is the widespread domain of
the interior of living animal bodies to
which, alas, poor humanity forms no ex-
ception. It is unpleasant to think that
we may at any time become prey to these
dangerous and miscbievous depredators.
We were lead to these reflections by o
recent visit to DR.. Van Denberg's office,
when he had just completed the expul-
sion of go worms from Mr. Lehman,
who stated that he had suffered for II
years. They were all small, about one
and half inches in length, excepting
one-a nondescript about three inches
long, an attrocious rascal of forbidding
appearance. DIR. Van Denberg is the
great worm exterminator of the century.

SIXTY YEARS IN. PRIsoN.--Mary Valen-
tine, so years old, was dying last night in
the female department of the Tombs
prison. She had spent sixty years of her
life in prison, although not prisoner.
For the past forty years she has been
voluntary prisoner, and for twenty
years has not been outside the Tombs
prison, except two days annually, that be-
ing New Years and Fourth of July. She
was very peculiar woman, never bright
nor ambitious, but scrupulously clean and
tidy in her habits, and faithful to fault
as the voluntary assistant of Matron Fos-
ter in the Tombs prison. Long before the
Tombs occupied its present site Mary
Valentine had an acquaintance with the
police court in this city. When Wall and
Pine streets were the most fashionable
thoroughfares, Mary Valentine was a
child. She was born in the summer of 1899.
Her father died when she was yet child.
AS a young girl she always sought her own
way, and as she grew up she was so way
ward and disobedient to her mother that
she was sent to the House of Refuge, and
from there transferred to the old Bride
well, then in City Hall Park, on the
Broadway side. After she had served her
time in Bridewell, she was bound out to a
Mr.. Curtis, then prominent resident OF
this city. She took to drink and was fre.
quentiy sesn in the Police Courts. When,
however, she found that liquor was getting
the mastery over her, she gave herself up
to prison life. When the Tombs Prison
was built by John Haviland in 1888, she
was one of its first inmates; and for forty
years she has been out and in on short
terms of ten days and a month. In
1854 she took such fancy to the
place that she never tried to leave
it, Matron Foster then as now, had
charge of the female department, hav-
ing come there in 1915. Mary Valentine
rendered the matron what assistance she
could. She was then given charge of the
upper tier" and here she took great
pride in keeping the cells in neat and tidy
order. At the head cf the stairway in a
small recess was decorated stool with
the name Mary" painted on the top.
Here Mary sat keeping guard over her
prisoners. Commissioner Bell took a
great interest in Mary Valentine when
she was taken sick, and told Warden Finn
to have her tenderly cared for. Mary
took to her bed two days ago from gem
eral debility. She sank rapidly, and yes
terday morning she lost her speech. Tow
ard night she failed to recognize Miss
Phillips, who ministered to her wants.
