A TEAPOT TEMPEST

Lee camp Of Confederate veterans
at Richmond has grown violent over
an invitation from the Union veterans
To the ex-Confeds to join with the Fed
vets at Knoxville in jamboree or
something. Major Alexander Wild
cat Archer. Of Lee camp. said in a
speech on the subject that he is las
good an American a. any man in the
country. When he was in the Con-
federate service he still loved the stars
and stripes. but before he would cease
10 love the Confederate flag or to VEN
crate Lee and jackson he would be
willing to take up his gun again."
The cause Of Archer's ire was the pas
,lge Of a resolution by the G.. \. II.
national encampment at Boston ask
iHg congress 10 legislate against the
display on public occasions Of the Con-
federare flag. Ii would seem that the
doughty Archer has a great capacity
for loving flags. when he could love the
stars and stripes all through the re-
bellion and until this very date, and at
the same time love the confederate
flag 50 much that he is willing to take
up that rusty old English gun again
and go to war, some more. for il. The
chances are. however, that if il came
to "show down" the fre-devouring
major would conclude that perhaps il
would be better to reconsider the mat
ter of taking up his gun again.

Speaking Of this, the governor OF
Wisconsin who had been attending the
Boston encampment "a an ex-veteran
of the war, on the way back to Chi.
cago told story on the cars to a CROWD

There Is a constitutional provision
which precludes any offer to interfere
with any mans style of worship in this
country. Even pagan may come
here and set up his joss or any other
idol and fall down and worship it if he
likes and no one has right To make
him afraid, though We may all laugh
heartily at the tomfoolery of the
affair. So that the laughing is not done
in such boisterous way as to disturb
the peace in the pagan sanctuary, and
under the same hypothesis If anybody
anywhere desires to make an idol Of a
little old tattered, shattered and bat
tered rag which he imagines represents
something he has loved and lost, why
let him. 1t can't hurt anybody else.
This government would only dignity
the rag by legislating against il in the
august body of the national congress.

Even Grand Army men differ on
some matters in this country at this
time. and this subject is one Of them.
and Major Alexander Wildcat Archer
would do well to remember in his
white heat that there are thousands Of
Grand Army men who don't care
whether the so-called Confederate flag
i, Haunted or not. and doubtless the
contingent which invited him and his
comrades to Knoxville for a good time
are of that ilk. However. even Major
Alexander Wildcat Archer would
doubtless agree with rs that it would
not be a brilliant display of propriety
for him and his comrades to 90 To a
frolic gotten up by ex-Federal soldiers
and carry with them the thing that
they call the eX-Confederate flag and
which they regard as the relic emblem

Major and his friends will overlook
the resolution which seems 10 have
acted upon them so much like red

blunderbus again.
-.
As Ia the resolution asking congress
to pass law against the display OF
Confederate flags. we are Of the opin-
ion that the action was not eX-
actly the proper thing and
the writer opposed the idea, as
a delegate to the convention, holding
that there is not. and never was, such
a thing as a confederate flag. The
armies of the union fought for four
years TO prove this proposition. There
was never such a thing as IA Southern
Confederacy. There was AN attempt
to establish such an affair, and Il
rather large attempt at that, but II
failed utterly. In no document issued
under authority Of the government of
the United States was there ever an
allusion made TO the states in the re-
bellion except as the "so-called
Confederate states and hence
there could have been nothing but a
>o-called Confederate flag. For this
reason il would be Just as wise to
legislate against the display of any
other rag as to legislate against the
display of the so-called Confederate
flag. Besides such legislation has a
tendency to .martyrize the thing
generally, and in our opinion would be
injudicious for that reason alone.

There is no strike so far as the Central Rail
read Company is concerned. One OF the in
teresting developments in connection with the
matter Yesterday was " the going out" of few
men in the yards of the Delaware and Hudson
Company at Albany. As a manifestation OF
"svmpathy." however. this was feeble it was
also futile. since the small number OF employees
VIII went on strike was not sufficient to emDaf
rass the company to any extent. The power OF
the Knights of Labor has been convlnclngy
shown by the strike Of last Friday to be much
less than had been feared and expected Hence
there will be little surprise at the announce
ment that one of the local assemblies of the
Knights in this city has surrendered It's charter
and repudiated the organization.

doubtful points. One question which Mr. Tabor
did not answer relates 10 the length of time
which a voter may remain in booth The
limit named in the law is ten minutes, but it
has been claimed that, since in the event of
spelling successive sets a man is entitled 10 have
four ballots, he could claim the privilege Of de
voting ten minutes u each set. making his oc-
cupancy Of the booth forty minutes in all. This
