THE FLAG EPISODE.

The fact that $4,000 people signed a
call in New York the other day for a
mass meeting to commend Mayor HEw-
TIT for his action in refusing to allow
any other than the American flag to be
raised on municipal buildings on cere-
monial occasions, is q significant illus
tration of the public approval which has
followed the mayors action, even
though that action has been condemned
by the board of aldermen of New York.
The Irish-Americans on the board have
chosen to consider the mayors action
as direct insult to their nationality.
since it was the Irish flag which the
mayor refused to allow to be raised.
1t is quite apparent, however, that
Mayor HEWITT intended no discrimina-
ton. If the Irish flag had a right to
float over city buildings, so had the Ger
man flag, the Russian, the Italian. the
Bohemian, even the Chinese; in fact,
any flag representing any nationality
from which naturalized American citi-
Gems may have sprung. Mayor HEWITT
decided the question in an eminently
sensible way by declaring that none OF
these flags could be accorded official
prominence in the United States.
There is but one flag entitled to such

RLAINE,S DILEMMA.

Mr.. BLAINE is a man who could afford
to pray for deliverance from his friends.
They are putting him in an exceedingly
awkward attitude before the American
people, to say the least of it, and if they
keep on little while longer in the way
they have started out he will be the
worst used-up man politically that this
country has seen since the days of
HENRY CLAY. When Mr.. BLAINE
wrote his Florence letter declining a
denomination his enemies within his
own party cast ridicule on it by freely
expressing their opinion that he was not
a man to be believed, and that the let
ter was intended as a ruSe to aid him in
capturing the nomination. But the bulk
of the American people did not look at
it in that way. Whatever may have been
their opinion as to Mr.. BLAINE'S moral
sense or his craftinesS in political
scheming in the past, they realized the
fact that he had reached station in
life where he could not afford to trife
with important subjects or TO attempt to
deceive the public. There may have
been differences of opinion as to the
motives which prompted his letter of
declination, but the masses Of the people
gave Mr.. BLAINE credit for sincerity in
his declarations. Since that time there
have been various movements on the
part of Mr.. BLAINE's immediate
friends which gave rise to more or less
suspicion that the Florence letter might
be crooked affair after all. But these
suspicious have been allayed by sue
cessive statements that these question
able movements were due exclusively
to the indiscretlon of his friends, for
which he was in no wise responsible.

SPRING WINDS.

heard the winds with unseen feet
Pass up the long and weary street;
They sang. 1--WE come from hill and glen
To touch the brows of toiling men,
THAT each may know and feel we bring
The first faint breathings OF the spring,
''To swecten lane, and street, and square,
And tighten all the dusty air.
1.-THE hills from which we come lie bright
In something OF richer light.
1.-THE long. deep glens and woodlands lie
In softer shadows 10 the eye.
THE birds have caught finer note
To throb with joy each feathered throat.
.'The streamlet echoes sweet and clear
The liquid pulsings of the year;
'And everywhere you look is seen
Life dawning in tinge of green.''
Thus sang the winds as up the street
They passed with heard, but unseen, feet
And, as they went, cloud above
Sent downward tears of spring and love.
Good Words.

Exciting Scene in the House.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-The house had
quite an exciting scene this afternoon.
MIR. Woodburn, of Nevada, in speaking
on the tariff, referred to Mayor Hewitt,'
OF New York, as having, while a mem
British minister for having offered a
resolution of inquiry as to the imprison-
ment of an American citizen in England.
This Mr.. Bryce, of New York, charac-
terlZed as untrue. Mr.. Brum, of Penn
Sylvania, declared that when Mr.. Bryce
said it was not true, he himself told an
untruth. He and Mr.. Bryce stood
within two feet of one another, and en-
tered into an excited but uninteligibIe
colloQuy. Mr.. Buchanan, of New
Jersey, protested against such conduct,
and suggested to the gentlemen to retire
to the corridors; while Mr.. Hopkins, of
Illinois, declared that this is not the
senate of the United States" Matters
finally Quoted down and the debate
continued.

The reader should remember that this
is the average taxable value per acre of
land, and is a fair indication to the
actual value of land when placed upon
the market for sale. The country might
find in the course of legislation for the
last six years some explanation of why
lands in the country have not made
proportionate gain with those in
the cities. Somewhere reasonable
explanation is to be found why
the farming lands of Minnesota
have not proportionally kept pace with
the increase of values in the city. The
farming community is not blind to the
fact that financially it is under. the
blight of mysterious depression. The
cities of course pay the bulk of the taxes
as far as proportion in that respect is
concerned; but they have more people
to bear the burden and receive more in
return. The country against the town
on questions such as are raised here is
to be new phase in Minnesota politics.
How much jealousy, prejudice, bad
legislation, and demagogic speeches it
will lead to time only can tell.

HOLDING 1T FOR REVISION,
Senator Ingalls, Speech Not Printed in
the Record.
A GRIDIR0N CLUB DINNER,
An Exciting Scene in the House of Rep
resentatives---Civil Service
Examination.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-Senatore In
gals speech in the Voorhees, contro-
versy has not yet been published in the
Record. 1t was anxiously looked for
to-day, but did not come out. Several.
newspaper men who have applied to
the senator for a copy of the speech
have been denied upon the ground that
he is holding it for revision. 1t is whis-
pered that next week there will proba-
bly, be some step taken toward expung-
ing from the Record the violent per-
sonalties employed in that controversy.
Whatever is being done is kept very
quiet.

lying between him and his country, it
BLAINE himself anything relative to
the matter. And the fact that he was
such long ways from home reconciled
his cOuntrymen to the belief that he
knew nothing of the Vaccinations of
his partisans on this side Of the water.
But since the Republican state con-
ventions have begun to be held
there has been made apparent
a thoroughly concerted scheme
and well organized movement to
force Mr.. BLAINE's nomination in
the Chicago convention. More than
this, it has become apparent that such
a cunningly devised and well executed
movement could not have been made
without the active cooperation OF MI.
BLAINE himself. 1t bears his old-time
finger marks from beginning to end.
And now his friends have so far sue
ceeded with their well matured plans
as to throw Off the guiSe under which
they have been working so far as to
proclaim that they have the assurance
from their chief that he will accept the
nomination.
This leaves Mr.. BLAINE in pickle.
If the movements of his friends have
been unauthorized by him, he is the
victim of a gross SANDER, which cannot
fail to tarnish his reputation. If, on
the other hand, what they say is true.
and he does not abide by his Florence
letter, then he publishes himself to the
world as political trickster unworthy
the support or confidence of reputable
people. Taking either horn of the di-
lemma into which his friends have
forced him, he is badly used-up man.
Death has recently removed some of
MI. BLAINE's bitterest enemies. 1t
would have been better for him if
death had performed the same kindly
office among his friends.

the department of state that the Swedish
parliament has decided to put duty of

James A

James A. Chairman of the City
Democratic Exc utive
King, Committee-It has been
decided to have meeting
of the Democratic county committee
Monday to take the initiatory steps for
holding the convention which is to send
delegates to the state convention.
Owing to the fact that an important
municipal campaign was pending, the
members of the county committee
deemed it advisable to call the conven-
ton earlier. There is a great deal of
Growing by the opposition over the re-
suit of the late election, but it has only
resulted in the public evincing it's con-
fidence in old and trusted Democrats.
Take ROCHE, CULLEN, SULLIVAN,
YoERG AND FISHER for example: they
have been Democrats, and doubtless
will continue to be such, although they
may not support the people for office
who declined to nominate them. 1t has
been good lesson to US, however, and
one that will be fully appreciated, l
hope, ere we are engaged in another
campaign. The Germans demonstrated
the fact that they will stand by each
other, no matter upon which ticket they
may run, and this was fully borne out
in the complexion of the next board of
aldermen, majority of whom are of
German extraction

the other hand, be taken as sufficient

RAMSEY REPUBLICANS.
The Committee Fixes tbs Appor-

UIOu.
The Republican county committee
held a lengthy meeting at their hall,
Fifth and Minnesota, yesterday morn
ing to prepare the call for primaries
and decide the apportionment of
delegates for the county con-
vention which is to meet one
week from Monday. This convention
is to choose delegates to the Fourth con-
greSSional and state conventions, and
the latter convention will name the
delegates to the national convention at
Chicago. 1t was decided that the ap-
portionments to the county con-
vention would be one delegate
to each 100 Republican voters,
or fraction thereof, to be made up from
the Republican vote of the city election
last Tuesday. A committee of five was
appointed to designate places to hold
caucuses, select judges and attend to
the general routine work. The COM
mittee met at the Merchants hotel last
evening.
