the streets by our band, was practically MI.
Usually in the past flags have been display
ed Ivy large number Of our citizens, but
Pap Patriae on Monday last failed to receive
token of our patriotic feelings. Some one
tried several months ago to fasten a blot up
on the F. OF his G. by proving that he had
acted with duplicIty in the matter Of La
