When Freedom from her mountain height,
Unfufled her banner TO the air,
She tore tho azure robe of night
And set tho stars OF glory there.
She mingled with Its gorgeous dyes
The milky baldrc of the skies,
And striped its pure, celestial white
With streaklngs Of the morning light
JOSEPH RoDMAN DRAKE.
The account above given by Mr.. Drake of the
origin of The Star Spanged Banner is un-
doubtedly correct. Generation after generation of
young Americans have detained his immortal
lines to admiring audiences, and no one has been
found between the two oceans sacrllegiOus enough
;: Iyslsinuate that Drake was mistaken-that Free
flag failed to correspond with his beautiful
description.
So it was at least until the Democracy went to
St Louis TO organize for the great fight of this year
Then some of the reckless leaders of that party
attempted 10 introduce a new emblem Of sweet
Liberty" They remarked to each other-be
tween drinks, with voices o good deal suffused
with plug tobacco" o, say can you see by the
dawns early light what so proudly we hail ?"
And the answer invariably was: "Yes yes,
we can distinctly see it, What SO proudly we
he'll is red bandnnna accentuatcd with yellow
snuff" What the leaders adopted, the rank and
file said amen to. The consequence is that to-
day all orthodox Democrats are waving, not the
Star Spangled Banner. but one of old AL Thur
mans snuff receivers.
Nay, more It is understood that President
Cleveland in his letter accepting denomination
will argue that there is cipher in possession OF the
Democratic National Committee which resolves
Mr brakes lines into something of this sort:
When Free trade, from her topmoSt crag,
Unfurled her standard to the air.
She thrust aside the old-tlme flag
And set q big bandanna there
She sprinled DER It's crimson dyes
The dust that I'm a snun box lies,
She striped It's folds. red as rose,
with snuff that tckles Thurman's nose
We believe that the American people will re-
ject this revised version by large majority.
They have no criticism to pass upon the bandanna,
provided 1t keeps its place. When it comes to
emblems designed to appeal to the patriotic feel
ing-well, it may be a matter of taste, but the
Star Spanglod Banner is good enough for Repub-
Leans

The Senate Committee on Commerce III
creased the enormous sum agreed on by the
House for river and harbor Improvements by
about 81 800, 600, making a grand total OF
almost S21 100000. Senator Frye's eXplana-
ton, made yesterday, will go far to convince
the people that this is not so extravaganza as
ii looks at first blush. He points out that no
bill became law last year and that there is
little probability of a River and Ilarbor bill
being passed at the short session of the Lth
Congress. Expenditures for these purposes at
the rate Of seven millions year can hardly be
deemed excessive. The trouble is not so much
with tho largeness of the expenditures as with
the useleSsness of good many Of the items.
So many cases of reckless driving, involving
serious consequences, have occurred OF late
that the movement to put restriction on
drivers by licensing them will, we presume,
meet with hearty popular approval. An
ordinance providing the necessary regulations
is in process of preparation. The license fee
e should, of course be moderate; the city is in
no need Of deriving an income from this
source. The advantage of imposing license
is that in cases of careless driving it can be
revoked or renewal refused. II will probably
be advisable TO question applicants
for licenses as to their experience
in driving. In a recent case boy
who ran heavy wagon into street-car and
badly hurt passenger, confessed that he was
diving for the first tine.
An end was made Of the Jasper investiga-
hon by the Board of Education yesterday.
The majority report, generating the City Su-
perintendent, was adopted by vote Of thir-
teen to seven, after some discussion, largely
Of personal nature. The most interesting
statement was that of Commissioner Dodge,
who repealed the insinuations that have been
put forth in regard TO her connection with the
case of Miss Mason. The correspondence al
ready published showed that Miss Dodge acted
in accordance with the instructions of Presi-
dent Simmons, who yesterday admitted his
share in the proceeding and said that he had
never shirked the responsibility. His admis-
sion comes little late, il must be confessed
Mr. Jasper has now been doubly exonerated
having been reelected fortnight ago, but
more will probably be heard of the Mason
affair, which has been disagreeable episode
from first to last.

In the preliminary discussion of the Virginia
contest on Tuesday Mr. Wise was clearly right when
lie denounced the absurdity of permitting General
Mahore as "a member of the Committee on Gre
dentials, to pass judgment upon his own right TO
seat in the Convention; and neither General But
tcrworth nor any other adherent of Senator Sher-
man was we'll ady Used If he thought the chance was
offered to win any lasting advantage for either
the Virginia trckster or the Ohio candidate In
most similar cases the question might be one OF
prOpriety rather than of even temporary signn-
canoe but General Malone las never taken the
pains to confine his political activities within the
limits of common decency For years past his
chief business in life has been to keep Virginia
Democratic by small margin, in order that his
annual beggars mission to the North might be
made remunerative by the double plea of urgent
necessity and reasonable hope. New-lork Repub-
Iicans have found that the perpctuatiOn of his
crafty, selfish and malignant despOtism was not
profitable investments; the party elsewhere is
rapidly making the same discovery, and If foresight
were among his most highly developed qualities
he would not wait t. be kicked into obscurity.

The Special Commission appointed by Secre-
tarv Whitney to consider the advsability of tho
Government selling portion of the Navy-Yard
property in Brooklyn, known as the Waabout
Basin, for the purposes of u general market have

obections-one, that owing to the wonderful
strides in shipbudng in the past few years,
H. is possible that the whole property will soon
be needed for Navy-Yard purposes; and the other,
that decayng vegetable matter in the neghbor-
hood would be deleterious TO the health OF the

H. is gratifying 10 SEE that the master car
builders at their recent convention gave little at
tention to the question Of ventilation. This
question is so important that il really demanded
a good deal of attention. In fact the entire sub
icct of ventilation applied, not only TO railway
ears but to dwellings, needs to be carefully and
thoroughly studied There was considerable dis

An astronomer writes to The Rochester Union
explaining why it is that the eclipse Of 1906 which
was total in that city, cannot take place again
there until after an interval Of 12493 years.
Assuming that this information is correct IL is
interesting TO note that IL those at work on the
Capitol at Albany are Industrious and il they omit
the Saturday half-holiday there is no reason why
that structure should not be completed by tne
time this eclipse comes round again.

NATURE is a great debt payer. H

NATURE is great debt payer. Her
business rules in western Kansas have at
times seemed cratic. But this has been
because this section of the state was only
in state of preparation for entering
finally into the joys of the great kingdom
of Kansas. Some wonder at our having
so much snow in this March. This is
one of Natures evening-up schemes, and
is based upon the contingent that Trego
county received in the strictly-winter
months less than her share of snow.
