CHIEF BARRETT, of the department OF
electricity at the Worlds Fair, and Frank
d. Mllett, director of decorations, do not
speak as they pass by. Barrett wanted the
Irish flag to float over his building on Irish
day. Millett refused and said that the Irish
flag should not be hoisted. He says the
only flag that can be recognized by the Ex-
position company are those recognized and
saluted by the United States navy. Ireland
is not nation, and is consequently barred
out. Only national flags now float from the
fag-poles on the fair grounds.

but it lie evidently just. The era of
prosperity under democratic rule comes
on apace. Its blessings multiply as
the months advance. Who would have
believed that a people so shrewd and
intelligent as the great body of Amer
leans are admitted to be could have
been guilty of the colossal blunder of
November last?

THE first number of the Boston Sun
dag Journal appeared October 1. Its
prospectus announced that it would be
{" real newspaper with an abundance
of general reading BESIDES" In its in
itial number this promise has been more
than fulfilled. Its sixteen pages con-
tain all the latest telegraphic news up
to midnight Saturday night, and there
is not dry paragraph in the paper.
Readers of the Sunday Journal are not
compelled to wade through columns of
chaff to find few kernels of grain that
make some of the Sunday papers of
Boston a source of WEAKNESS rather than
refreshing. No city on the Atlantic
seahoard is more in need of a republi-
can Sunday paper than is Boston, and
the new departure is sure of fattering
reception among the people of New
England. The ability that character
ICES its weekday Issues is clearly dis
cernible. 1t is clean and wholesome
sheet, and republicans of New England
will rejoice that they are no longer
obliged to read a democratic Sunday
paper to get the latest news.

THE colors that blaze on every hill

ployer and employed in these jocund

The democratic party, having a good
working majority in the senate, rein
forced by the bulk of the republican
senators, is utterly unable to bring to a
vote the great distinctive measure of
the administration. An instructive
spectacle! 1t is now tacitly conceded
that the passage of the silver repeal bill
has been effectually blocked by mi
nority composed of few republican
senators from the mining states, and
what is probably the fact-by major
ity of all the democratic senators, the
southern senators constituting the
largest element of the opposition on the
democratic side. Mr.. Voorhees,, chair
man of the finance committee and the
leader of the forces of repeal, is him
self prominent supporter of the free
coinage of silver. From motives of
party policy, he has given quasi sup
port to the repeal bill, but it has been
evident that his heart is not in the
cause. His course has been vacillating,
and he has not displayed the qualities
of resoute, capable leadership. In re-
ply to letter from the governor of
Georgia, the contents of which are not
made public, the president reiterated
his demand for the unconditional re-
peal of the Sherman law. His rigid
adherence to the terms of his message
and the incorporating spirit he dis
plays in maintaining his views, have
angered the southern senators who
have been opposed to repeal, but who
had tacitly agreed not to filibuster to
prevent a vote. Now the truce is
broken, and all the silver forces are in
arms against the passage of the bill.
Various compromises are discussed,
the most prominent of which embodies
proposition to coin the silver bullion
now in the treasury and purchase
100000 ounces of silver monthly for
coinage until the limit of $500 600 900
| has been reached. This compromise is
supplemented by proposal to issue
bonds for the purchase of gold coin to
the extent of some 100000, 900. The
possibility of the passage OF this or any
similar compromise measure must be-
come more remote than the present

THE democracy have taken another
step in their attempts to redeem their
pledges made at Chicago in the intro
duction by Representative Oates of a
bill for the repeal of the ten per cent
tax on state bank circulation. Accord
ing to Chairman Springer of the COM
mittee on banking and currency, this
plank of the democratic platform may
be redeemed in various ways. There
are those who believe that the cur
rency of the state banks should be
printed by the general government so
as to insure uniformity of the circulat-
ing notes, and that there should be fed
eral inspection of the banks. Others
insist that the securities of the banks
for the redemption of their bills should
be approved by the comptroller of the
currency aud deposited with the treas
urer of the United States. The advo-
vocates of state bank circulation pure
and simple think that the banks should
be permitted to print their own notes
and issue them upon any class of secu-
rites. 1t is not explained in what
way Or under what constitutional pro-
vision the general government could
have supervisory control over banks
doing business under the laws of a
state. There would be a mixture of
state and national authority that is GER
tainly not desirable, and which could
hardly produce harmonious or benef-
ciai results. A bank must be state or
national; it cannot be hybrid.

How to Guess O Woman's Age.

A volume Of memoirs has just ben
published giving the experiences OF
French President of Assizes. 1t bears
curious testimony to the inaccuracy OF
women on the subject of their own ages
As the writer's information Is from the
calender, he speaks only of the criminal
classes. The only instances in which he
finds correct dates given by women are
when they are under twenty-five or
over eighty FIVE. A: these periods of
life, he says, they are to be trusted.
At all other periods the sure controlling
tendency is 10 understate. The nagls-
trate has been able to give rule for
guidance. He finds that female prison
ers invariably state their ages as twenty
nine, thirtynine, forty-nIne or htty-nne
and from this remarkable circumstance
he deduces his rule. If their ages are IL
the forties, they bodily set them down IN
the thirties, but conscience asserting
itself, they keep as near the truth as they
can and fix them at thirty nine. Whether
male criminals do the same the magistrate
does not stste.-London News.

Strikes and His Followers.

Word was received at the Pine Ridge
South Dakotal Indian agency that four
cowboys belonging TO the Humphrey Ranch
on the White River, had boon murdered by
Two Strikes his two sons, White Face
Horse and other members of the IndiaD band

Ridge two years ago.
Acting Agent Captain Brown sent out
twenty agency polics in pursuit OF the ma
rauders. The police overlook the Indians,

Cannot Tax. the Bit.

The chief Of the Kansas City Mo
Fire Department has invented new
bride for horses, the use of which
makes it impossible for the horse to
take the bit between his teeth. 1t has
no bit to take. 1t is arranged with a
strap over the horses nose, and a steel
curb under his jaw in such way that a
hard pull on the reins make the animal
very uncomfortable indeed. Tn: new
bride works to perfection, it is said, on
a practical test, keeping the horse per-
fectly under control, while giving hun
the minimum of discomfort. One great
advantage of the contrivauce is that it
enables the animal to eat aud drink in
comfort without displaying the bride. -

A STRANGE STORY
Told in Connection With the Red
wine Defalcation at at
Ianta, Ga.
Eleven Others Said to Be Impii-
Gated in the Abstraction
of the Money.

ATLANTA, Ca, March 4.-The evil
dence of Detective Looney in the trial
of Horace Owens today for aiding de-
faulting Cashier Redwine in abstract
ing money from the Gate City bank
disclosed strange story told by
Owens. Detective Looney swore
Ill substance that at confer
ence, at which Detective Cason
and Capt. Thompson were pres
eut. Horace Owens stated that he was at
a conference of Redwine's friends, held
Sunday before he fed, and had he not
been arrested Friday he (Owens) would
have taken him twenty miles in the
country and held him. He said he was
working for Redwine and friends
to get $4,000. Owens stated that
he would not give Redwine up on Fri
day for $4,000. Mr.. Looney swOre that
Martin Amorous heard part of what
Owens said. MIR. Cason heard it all, or
Capt. Thompson most of it. Cross
examined by MIR. Glenn, Mr.. Looney
said
"Owens said the conference of Red
wines friends took place the Sunday
before the defalcation. Redwlne was
there"
Mr.. Glenn-Did he mention any
names at the conference, or how many
were there?
Mr.. Looney-Owens said eleven were
there, some worth 100000 to $500, 900.
He mentioned one name, that of Tom
Cobb Jackson. 1t was stated at the con-
ference that a bond to any amount
could be furnished for Redwine.
The last witness introduced was
Chief Connolly, who testified that he
had never heard of Owens being a de-
tective. but he had known him to be
a bailiff. Cross-examined by Mr..
Glenn, Chief Connolly stated that
no threat had been made or induce
ments offered Owens after his arrest. as
far as he knew, to tell what he knew
about money TAX II from the bank. Did
not remember hearing Lawyer Jack
Spalding say to the chief, Lock that
citizen up" referring to Owens. Did
tell Owens in private talk: "If you
know where any of that money is,
will work the case with you" Owens
said, among other things: There are
eleven people mixed up in this business
and about 100000 can be turned up. Ii
| were to tell who these men are there
would be two more suicides before
night" Owens did not say he knew
where the $4,000 was. Owens said If
he had not been with Redwine he would
probably have committed suicide.
