The Free Press says: "There was
nothing about the observance of the
Fourth of July in New England this
year that made it specially noteworthy,
but it was notable Fourth nevertheless.
The people of three Territories met in
convention to ratify the constitutions of
the four new states which are to made
out of these Territories, Montana, Wash
ington, North Dakota and South Dakota.
The constitutions adopted by the dele
gates will be presented to the people of
the Territories for ratification in October,
when the people will also elect State Off
GERS and representatives and senators
in Congress. Following this and after
the necessary forms have been complied
with, the President will proclaim the
four states admitted to the Union. The
new states have combined area of about
100000 square miles-a larger territory
than was comprised IN the thirteen orig
inal states-and have a population Of
about 100000 The Fourth of July
will be day for special remembrance
and celebration in that section of the
country hereafter.

A Chicago despatch of yesterday, says:
1.-THE attempt of the Grand Army men
to force the railroads to make rate of
one cent mile to all persons attending
the annual Encampment at Milwaukee
this year, has failed and the committee
Of the departments have voted to send a
circular letter to all department com
mauders throughout the country urging
that the attendance on the Encampment
be limited so far as practicable to dele
gates. Preparations at Milwaukee for
the entertainment of the great crowd
expected at the Encampment have been
virtually suspended, owing to the dis
pute with the railroads and to-day's ac-
ton of the committee may, it is feared,
render the stoppage permanent. The
veterans have only the Interstate Com
MERGE law to thank-the railroads are
powerless, however ready to extend fla
vors. Every man, woman, and child in
the United States could demand the one
cent per mile tickets and obtain them
too, under that law, if concession was
made to the veterans. The railroads of
the whole country are hardly prepared
to reduce rates to one-cent mile for a
mouth or more. This is only one of the
several beauties () of Congresses attempt
to dictate terms to railroad corporations
by means of commission of three men.

FORTY-rwo STARS NOT LEGAI

Washington dispatches of July 7tb,
say Although the Navy Department
has issued an order to the effect that
hereafter all flags made for the navy
shall contain forty two stars, a request
from the Assistant Treasurer at New
York for flag of this description has
been refused by the Treasury Depart
ment. The officials of the Revenue Ma
rine Bureau, which distributes flags to
the custom houses, revenue marine boats,
ETC., hold that a flag with forty two
stars is not legal flag, and will not be
until the next Fourth of July.
The law says "On the admission of
a new State into the Union one star
shall be added to the union of the flag,
and such addition shall take effect on
the 4th day of July next succeeding
such admission
The flags with forty-two stars are
just one year ahead Of time" said rev.
enue official TO a reporter yesterday.
THE local contractor who furnishes our
flags says that all the flags which he
makes for private individuals contain
the increased number of stars. That is
all right 80 far as private individuals are
concerned, but the Government must
have legal flag or none"

The Sunday Budgets New York
Town Talk" has the following 1.-THE
Alger party is slowly but surely assum-
ing the shape of lively fixture in the
Republican camp, and naturally afford
ing much food for speculation to the
Democrats. Those who are outside of
the pale of information are on the anx
ious seat, not knowing whether Alger is
advancing to head off the aspirations of
some one else, or as the actual candidate
of majority of the party. There are
suspicious that Harrison would like to
succeed himself. There are other sus.
picious that the princes of the party are
disguised with him, and will not under
any circumstances consent to his renom-
nation. At any rate, in Alger seems
for the present to lie certain strong
hopes of the party for 1892-that is, if
the words and actions of Thomas G.
Plat have any substant ial portent. 1t
was the Conkling faction which first
took Alger up, the men who make at
least fair pretence of keeping their
words in politics. Harrison assured
them previous to the election that he
would not put Blaine in the cabinet. He
has not kept his word with the Conkling
men, nor with any one else. General
Alger had 100 votes in the Chicago con-
vention that stuck to him to the final
ballot. The men who supported him in
Chicago are for him in 1899, with such
accessions as Thomas G. Plat, John NJ,
Thurston of Nebraska, who was chair
man of the Chicago convention, and
Others high in power. Plat and Thurs
ton, with their families, are now on
