rEE CoNFEpERArE FLAG.

Gen. PALMER's order that Grand Army
men shall not march in procession
in which the Confederate flag is carried,
leads contemporary to remark that ''if
the old Union soldiers object, as they
very naturally might, to honoring this
emblem, it should not be carried to their
offense." This, of course, goes without
saying.
But while there is a question Of the
good taste of those who continue to
carry the emblem or Jle iOsS N@"SO
there is much contempt felt for their
critics, who hold that the carrying OF
the Confederate flag is the expression OF
q disloyal spirit. On this point, the
New York World truly says: "The old
Confederate flags awaken memories
hut no disloyalty. The men who march
under them in these latter days are not
enemies of the Union, and ne who ac-
cpses them OF disloyalty is an unpatri-
otto citizen" And the World adds:
The flag Of our once enemies and now
brothers might better be folded up ana pu'
away. but while they who display IL may
show bad taste they do not necessarily
show bad blood. There are no more patrl'
otic citizens in the country to-day nor any
who would fight quicker or harder Tor tnt
stars and Stripes than the ex-soldlers o.
the COnfederacy.

TRAIN robbers captured a sum esti-
mated to be from $4,000 to 100000 in
Wisconsin yestesday. The robbers
stopped the train, covered the engineer
and fireman with guns and actually
blew the express car to pieces with ex-
plosives; yet, strange to say, none OF
the passengers got out to see what the
trouble was. The robbery occurred
early in the morning before daylight,
and doubtless all the brave men aboard
were sound sleepers.

Department in 1869 upon precisely
similar case.
To characterize the action OF Comp
troller MATTHEWS as unwarranted
would be putting it mildly. Without
any sort of right or title, or justfica-
ton, whatever. he assumes for the Sec
rotary of the Treasury the right of the
federal authorities to decide question
that lies solely with the States of Vir-
ginia and West Virginia. 1t is sum-
mary drawing of the line Of demarka-
ton between the authority Of the gen.
eral government and the rights of the
States, which is calculated to make our
fathers turn in their graves. 1t is an
act which would be attempted only by
member Of the present administra-
ton.
The next Congress will undoubtedly
take up the matter and direct the pay
ment of the money owing to West Vir-
GINA under the Direct Tax Refund.

The Stone Bridge Contract.

The impression has been current all
along during the present fall that the
penalty, under the stone bridge con-
tract, went into effect November 18th.
An examination of the contract, Yester-
day, showed that the penalty actually

that 81, 400 was due, under it, up to last
night. Nothing has been said, on
either side, concerning this penalty,
and it is thus far left as q problem for
the future to settle.
Work is progressing at the bridge as
usual. The prospects are that it will
take the carpenters two weeks to get up
the rest of the timbering.

CzAR-LIKE METHODS.

A week ago-two days after election
COMPTROLLER Of the Treasury MATTHEWS
notified Gov. FLEMING that
have the honor to state that under the
opinion of the Attorney-General, given
August ~, 1891, the amount heretofore sus.
tanned in the settlement OF the account Oh
the State of West Virginia for the refund
of the direct tax, viz; Sl53,9IS.t5, mas TINS
Gar baen certified TO be withheld to be
c~e1ited as a set-off against the amount due
from the State of West Virginia Tor her
proportion for the undivided Indebtedness
Of the State of Virginia TO the United
States for Indian Trust Funds that were
Invested in Virginia bonds prior 10 the Oil
vision of the State.
This astonishingly high-handed &C
ton has been taken not only without
warning to the Governor OF West Viz
ginia. but while the question whether or
not the United States had Jurisdiction
IN. and could lawfully decide matter
that lay between the States OF Virginia
and West Virginia was still in discus
sion between Gov. FLEMING and Attor-
new General MILLER as to whether 1t
should be referred to the Court Of
Claims or not.
The whole spondence, dating
back to August :, 1891, between Gov.
FLEMING and Attorney General MILLER
and Comptroller MATHEWS will be
found entire on another page.
II will be seen that Attorney General
MILLER desired to shift the responsible
ity of decision by referring the case
TO the Court of Claims. To this Gov.
FLEMING, of course, declined to consent
and entered his decided protest against
such disposition Of the case. But here
the Attorney Generals correspondence
suddenly ceased, with the exception OF
a note informing Gov. FLEMING that the
ouestion rested with the Secretary of
the Treasury.
Then Comptroller MATHEWS sudden
~ stepped in with communication to
Gov. FLEMING informing him that
The time has now arrived when, in ms
Judgment, the matter should be finally dis
posed Of and respectfully invite your at
tention TO the question.
Before this announcement had time
to cool the Governor received from
the Comptroller the final commu
nication, quoted above, disposins
of the whole matter out Of hand, decid
ing the question Of West Virginia

the question Of States rights involved

tachments and garnisheeS on the City
of Wheeling, and the Wheeling and

Philadelphia. This was followed by a

attachments and garnishees.

pauy, in speaking of the affair, said,
ut was a great surprise to me; that 1T
was only to-day, a short time before

was talking with Mr.. Gratz, and he
gave no intimation that the suits were
to be brought; in fact he appeared per-
fectly satisfied when 1 told him that Mr..
Carey would probably be here Saturday
or the first of the week with plenty of
money to settle all claims. There
is plenty OF money awaiting the
firm in different places which Mr..
Carey will gather in as he returns to
Wheeling, and all claimants can rest as.
sured that they will receive dollar for
dollar. Mr.. Carey has been in Bangor,

SUNDAYS REGISTER.
Morning journal and courier., 1891-08-04
SnOwballing In July.

Mr.. Phil Silverthau of this city, who is
now in Europe, writes home of his snow
balling experience last month while on top
of the Palitus mountains in Switzerland,
seven thousand feet above the sea. At the
foot of the same mountains the grass is as
green as it is in Connecticut in August.
The evenings do not become dark until 10
O'Clock. One letter was written in King
Ludwigs castle. This venerable structure
is one hundred and fifty years old and con-
tains 1865 rooms-one for every day in the
year. One room cost 81 1000, 900. 1t can
not be described; it must be seen to be ap-
preciated. A picture accompanied the let
house that Mr.. Silverthau's ancestors were
born in; The Id manse has been in their
possession constantly for 1875 years and al
ways used by them. Mr.. Silverthau has a
kodak with him and has photographed it.
He writes that in all the small agricultural
towns the women do as much work as the
men. A cousin of Mr.. Silverthau is a
jeweler in one of the large cities and he
never takes his display out of the show
windows. All they do is to close their
iron shutters and the store is thus closed
for the night. They do not even have a
safe in the store, although the proprietor,
Mr.. Silverthau, carries four hundred gold
watches in stock and the stock is worth
$4,000. They have no fear of robbery.
Mr.. Phil Silverthau will spend August
among the diamond markets of the old
world and will sail for home the first part
of September.
In one city every other man was dressed
in some kind of uniform and it looked
to one not acquainted just like war times,
instead Of piping times of peace. It was
in Wurtzburg, the seat of the German
military. All the stores close at 12 until
2 o'clock every day. This allows everyone
to attend the coffee gardens, which are
like the American concert gardens but
patronized by the best people Of Germany.
The railroad travel is far behind America.
Eight passengers are allowed one COM
partment which extends from one side to
the other of the car and the doors are
only unlocked at ones destination. No
car contains toilet room. One letter
dated July % at Berne, Switzerland. near
Geneva, was received in New Haven,
August mime days.
