"OOOD FOR J. r"

WASHINGTON, d. c., May 4.-Another
Minnesotan was to-day made happy by
receiving one of the best appointments
under Secretary Window. The benefic-
larry was Mr.. ]. T. Williams, of Manka-
TO, who to-day took the oath of Office
and entered upon his duties, as custodi-
an of all plates, dies and rolls in the bu-
reau of engraving and printing. This is
one of the most important positions in
that department, and one of great re-
sponsibility. Mr.. Williams was selected
for the place by Mr.. Window because
he was well-known to the secretary and
the latter knew he could rely upon Will
liams in keeping careful guard over
the articles in his custody. Mr.. Will
liams has, for the past two weeks, been
temporarily filling the place during the
absence of his Democratic predecessor,
but not until TO-DAY was he given full
charge of the department. There we're
upward of 80 applicants for the place,
but all were put aside by Secretary Win
dom for his his lifelong friend, Mr.. Will
liams. The salary attached to the Office
Is s., 400 per annum. Mr.. Williams will
not bring his family here before early
fall.
The above special to Sundays Min
neapolis Tribune tells the story of the
good luck that has befalien our towns
man, ]. T. Williams, Esq. He has the
congratulations of the FREE Press and
his many other friends here at his
home.

SOME of the "rascals" appointed to of
flee under the last administration are
being found out. The latest is the ex-
posure of a system of extensive frauds
and Matchmaking practiced in the Office
of collector of internal revenue at Gin
clnnati. Though the facts have not yet
been disclosed to the public "a grand
jury having them under consideration
the liquor dealers speak out very boldly.
They say they have been compelled to
pay in the aggregate tens Of thousands
of dollars to gaugers in excess of their
legal fees. Gossip among the gaugers
admits the receipt of these extra fees,
but alleges that the bulk of it went as as
sessments for various purposes, collected
by two or three agents who had no Off
cial connection with the Office. A son
of Collector Bishop has been in the office
without official connection with il, and
It has not been concealed that he re-
ceived fees from gaugers ostensibly for
shaping up their reports. It is not all
improbable that many more scandals OF
the kind will be developed when the
Democratic officials over the country are
compelled to close up their accounts and
turn over their Offices to successors. II
is without question that many men OF
shady reputation were provided for by
the Cleveland administration, and il is
not at all surprising that they got to
PLAYING their old tricks during the three
or four years time afforded them.

THE Chicago blter- Ocean makes the
good suggestion that the American flag
should be part of the furnishing of ev-
cry school and college. Certainly it would
be very appropriate thing to have the
national coIors float from all the school
houses, and it would have no small eff
feet in growing patriotic feelings in the
youth. President Harrison in his New
York speech made some references to
the National flag, which were very ap-
propriate and eloquent. He said:
"These banners with which YOU have
covered your walls, these patriotic in
scriptions, must come down, and the
ways of commerce and of trade be re.
sumed again here, but may I ask you to
carry these banners that now hang on
the walls into your homes, into the pub.
lie schools of your city, and into all your
great institutions where children are
gathered, and to drape them there thai
the eyes of the young and of the old may
look upon that flag as one ofthe familiar
adornments of every American home
Have you not learned that not stocks OIL
stately houses or lands or mill or field il
our country 1t is spiritual thought
that is in our minds. 1t is the flag and
what it stands for; it is its glorious his
tory; it is the Preside and home; it il
the high thoughts that are in the heart
born of the inspiration which comes o.
the story of the fathers, the martyrs t.
liberty; it Is the grave yard into which
our grateful country has gathered the
unconscious dust of those who died."

SOME very sensational stories have re.
Gently been coming from Mexico, which
raise the suspicion that Joe Mulbatton
has risen from his grave and secured q
position as press correspondent down
there. There has been no particular
harm done by the yarns, as they were
at once shown to be canards. A few
months ago he located a{riot and whole.
sale massacre in the City of Mexico. II
had only few hours run and went
down under special denial. Thursday
the manufacturer of Mexican sensations
located a riot and massacre at Lagos in
the State of Guanajuato. This news came
on foot as it were to Texas and was tele.
graphed to st. Louis. According to this
story 1900 men in town that has a
population of 10000 all told, attacked g
Jail and were in turn attacked by 2O(
regular troops. AS Lagos is on the Mex
lean Central Railway and IN telegraphiC
communication with points IN the Uni
ted States, the indefiniteness of the ref
erence to Texas excited suspicion, and
IN the evening denial came from the
Mexican capitol. The only disturbance
reported was at Silao, city of Il. 900 in
habitants, on the Mexican Central neal
the State capitol. The locality is one
not much given 10 disturbances.

THE Republican newspapers of Chica-
20 are making it very warm for the new
" elected Mayor Cregier. They claim
that he is simply second Carter Harri-
son and that the gamblers and thugs
claim him as their property. This is the
way the Inter- Ocean goes at 'em:
Gambling is running in full blast in
Chicago. The election of Mayor Cregier
was no sooner a certainty than that
which might he expected to happen
was foreshadowed by certain signs. All
the old gambling-houses which had been
rented for other purposes from the time
time that Mayor Roche drove the gamb-
lers ont were sought for by their old ten
ants, and the occupants whose tenancy
had not been by long lease, were tolu to
move in a hurry. From this one sign
alone it was evident that gambling was
to reopen under the Democratic admin
istration, while the fact that the lowest
element composing this class worked
day and night for Mr.. Cregier lends col
or to the belief that they did 80 with the
promise that they should be allowed in
event of his success to pursue their ne.
farious calling unmolested. Chief of Po-
lice Hubbard yesterday admitted that
he knew the houses were opened. he
said further that prior to Mayor Gre
gier's departure for Springfield he had
had q consultation with his Honor, al
which the latter expressed himself in
favor of the houses running.
1t won't be long before Mayor Cregiel
will wish he was only Mr.. Cregier.

that" was thereby, "for you bear on
your person proof that he knows how to
make his mark"
On another occasion, Tarleton was
speaking sarcastically Of Washington in
the presence of Mrs. Ashe, sister Of the
lady above named. ST should be happy
to see Col. Washington" he said with
sheer. Mrs. Ashe instantly replied, eff
you had looked behind you, Col. Tarle-
ton, at the battle Of Cowpens, you would
have enjoyed that pleasure. Stung with
this keen wit, Tarleton placed his hand
ON his sword, whereupon Gen. Leslie, Of
the British army, who was present, gal
lantly remarked, "Say what you please,
Mrs. Ashe, Col. Tarleton knows better
than to insult lady in my presence"
The foregoing incidents are recorded in
Mrs. Ellet's "Wome of the Revolution
During the Revolutionary war Col.
Washington met and became enamored
Of Miss Jane Elliott. of Charleston, rel
alive of that Gen. Stephen Elliott who
defended the debris of Fort Sumpter af-
ter it was reduced to ruins, In their love
making she proposed to furnish him a
flag for his cavalry regiment, and hav-
ing no other material, shc improvised
one by cutting out from rich drawing
room chair the crimson brocade adorn-
ing the back of it, which had the merit
of being distinct in color as well as handy
in size. To Washington it was gift
without price, and thereafter until the
close of the war, it waved in the fore
front Of every battle in which his COM
mand was engaged.
In 1927 Mrs. Washington presented her
husbands battle flag to the Washington
light infantry, Of Charleston, and the
venerated relic is probably the only one
that can be traced to the battle fields of
the American revolution in the custody
Of a military corps Having been in ex-
istence for nearly century, and showing
many signs Of wear, it was quilted in
1874 upon a similar piece of crimson silk,
in order that it might be preserved, If
possible, for another hundred years. It
is mounted in the Roman style.
Surrounding the staff is the eagle
with wings plumed for fight; below, are
cord and tassels Of gold bullion. The
flag is displayed on the 22d of February
(Washington's birthday, and the 2Sth
Of June (the anniversary of the battle
Of Fort Moultrie on that date in 1776),
but it is otherwise not used except by
special orders.
It is not invidious to give a full account
of this one relic Of Revolutionary times,
not only because it is interesting in itself,
but because it will serve as type of
many interesting objects.

IT is with extreme trepidation that we
break the news Ia the public that Presi-
dent Harrison is starting out as one OF
the meanest and most Digoted partisan
Presidents this country has had. He is
not only filling the public offices as rap
idly as possible with ultra pIrtisans, bu.
he has drawn himself within the narrow
limits of appointing Democrats, where
required by law to do SO, only of the
stronget high protective tariff views. 1t ia
true ofHarrison, AS of all pther publicmen,
that where they make a snIveling pre-
tence of excessive piety, as Harrison
and Wanamaker have done, they always
prove to be bIgots and hypocrites. Wan

the world were simply marvellous. The
Arion (musicaD club also presented q
lovely float representing the genius Of
Music, and others followed presenting
Art, Culture and Education In score Of
pleasing delineations.
The purely emblematic representa-
tions, however, were but small part Of
the general affair, for the people had an
opportunity to see much of the reality
Of Americas history-the veteran gen.
erals Of the late war and the relics OF
former wars. Among many objects OF
interesting historic association, not the
least interesting was the old "Eutaw
f1ag," carried in the military parade by
the Washington light infantry, of
Charleston, 8. O. This is the famous
flag of Col. William Washington's regi-
ment of cavalry, which, In the troublous
times of the Revolution, constituted a
part Of the partisan corps of Marion.
It belongs to the Washington light In
fantry, of Charleston, to which COM
pany it was presented by Mrs. Washing
ton in 1897, with the understanding that
it should always be preserved in mem
DRY of her gallant husband.
Col. William Washington, or as he was
called, "The Modern Marcellus," was the
oldest son of Baily Washington, of Stat
ford county, Va, where he was born In
February, 1859. He was educated for the
church, but the war led him into pub
lie field. Entering the army, he engaged
In the battle near Brooklyn, and after
wards distinguished himself at Trenton
and Princeton. In ITO he joined the
army under Lincoln in South Carolina,
and was active In the command Of a
light corps in the neighborhood Of
Charleston. Subsequently, he became
attached to the division Of Gen. Morgan,
and bravely fought with that officer at
the Cowpens. For his valor on that occa-
sion congress presented him with medal.
Subsequently, he fought with magnifi-
cent courage and against heavy odds at
Guilford court house and Hobkirk's hill,
near Camden, s. G. It was at Eutaw,
however, that he exhibited signal valor,
fighting until wounded, and with his
horse shot under him he was forced to
surrender as prisoner.
It was during the battle at Cowpens
that Washington and Tarleton, the com.
mander Of the British cavalry, had per.
sonal conflict. In the eagerness Of his
pursuit of that officer, Washington had
got far ahead of his squadron, when
Tarleton and two Of his aids turned upon
him. An officer on Tarleton's right was
about to strike Washington when ser
geant interposed. Tarleton, who was in
the midst of the melee, then made a
thrust at Washington which the latter
parted, wounding his antagonist in the
hand. Tarleton then wheeled and dis
charged pistol, by which Washington
was wounded in the knee.
In connection with this wound, the
following incident Is related: When
CORVALLIS and his army were at Hall
fax, N. c., on their way toVirginia, Tar
Teton made his quarters in the house Of
Mrs. Willie Jones. In the course Of con.
versation with this lady. Tarleton spoke
Of Col. Washington as an illiterate fel.
low who was hardly able to write his
name. "You ought to know better than
