When Chester A. Arthur was President he got
new flag Now that Grover Cleveland is Pres
dent he has got new seal. 1.-THE central fig
ure' of this interesting novelty. are told,
standing out in bold relief. is the American
spread eagle, which king of birds was chosen as
our national emblem because its attributes are
so closely analogous to the characteristics of our
Nation" We are sorry the President did not
improve this opportunity to give the really dis
tinctive and characteristic bird of the North
American continent some representation among
our national emblems. We mean the wild
turkey. The eagle has honor enough He fig
ures on the great seal of the United States. on
the arms of the Union, and on the silver dollar.
He is no more American than he is French, or
Prussian. or Austrian. and. besides he is only
useless bird of prey after ALL Bat the wild tur-
key is bird after our own heart-a true native
American, grand in aspect and magnificent in
plumage. Benjamin Franklin wanted TO make
him our representative instead of the eagle; and
the great printer was right. The wild turkey is
we'll worthy of the distinction. He is not only
beautiful, but brave more courageous bird
does not exist. Our cat allows no eagles to enter
the Office but he never tackles wild turkey.
The best weight of the wild turkey is about
twenty pounds. In flavor the wild turkey is
much superior to the domestlcated turkey The
wild turkey ought to have been represented on
President Cleveland's new seal.
