THE American flag-the stars

within the past sixteen months. The

of the government are always chang

Saturday last the spangled banner
of forty four stars became the STAN

Here are the terms of the Presi-

Both the friends and the enemies
of Secretary Blaine, says the New
York correspondent of the Philadel-
phia LEDGER, are troubled by the
contradictory dispatches from Maine
concerning his physical condition
At time when nearly every State
in the Union is declaring through its
leading men its desire that he should
be made the Republican candidate
for President, Mr.. Blaine is repre-
sented by some of these dispatches
to be absolutely broken in health,
a mere wreck of his former self.
Other dispatches speak OF him as
steadily improving in health and
gaining in strength, as moving about
the streets of Bar Harbor, and taking
part in the usual occupations of his
household. Why, it is asked, should
there be such a wide discrepancy as
to the facts of Mr.. Blaine's health
Is it possible that designing politi,
clans are magnifying Mr.. Blaine
physical weakness for political ends,
and that others are engaged in push.
ing his distinguished name persist
emily to the front in order to hide
their own political schemes. The
wide difference in the reports of Mr.
Blaine's health cannot be accounted
for there on any other theory thar
that politics of a not very reputable
kind may be at work. A Blaine
man called attention to the fact thai
not all of the reports of Mr.. Blaine's
physical breakdown appeared If
Democratic papers. Some of the
Republican papers, he said, are
giving conspicuous place to them
There are many people who woulc
be glad to know just what is the
truth about his ideas as to the Presi.
dental nomination in 1892.
