several flags before the present national
one was adopted, the different kinds
varying with the tastes of different
commanders.
On our national Gag, at first, stripe
was added for each new state; but the
flag soon became too large and Congress
reduced the stripes to the original
thirteen, in memory of the thirteen
states, which had first secured for our
flag place among nations, and the
stars are now made to correspond with
the number of states in the union.
Our beloved banner of stars and
stripes is said to be the most beautiful
that floats on land or sea, and every
good citizen and true patriot fills with
pride when he sees its starry folds and
considers what it represents.
To see the expression of pride and
loyalty on the face of the old white
haired man who stops to admire the
painting 'The Birth of our Flag" in the
Pennsylvania State Building at our
Worlds Fair is indeed pleasure
But unfortunately we have on our, ii
is thought by some, too hospitable
shores, men and women who have no
conception of what this flag means to
them or to us. Little do they, or in
fact some of us, realize the sacrifices
that have been made to maintain the
glory and dignity of our land under It's
protecting folds.
With this flag as our emblem we have
given to everybody in the union equal
opportunities to get a home, equal
opportunities to attain distinction. We
have taken the failures of other nations
the men who could not succeed in
England. We have taken the men who
have been robbed and trampled upon,
the foreigner from She almshouse, and
out of some we have made patriotic,
splendid men. etthere are those in our
union who have not yet learned what
patriotism means, men who care nothing
for honor or honesty, and who would
prefer to see the men who attempted to
destroy the government rule, than
those who gave the best years of their
lives to save it; men in whom the love
of country is feeling entirely unknown.
is it any wonder then that young
men, growing up under such influences
as these scoff at the services of those
who gave their lives that the govern
ment might live? Were it not for those
heroic sacrifices, j. is quite possible
that the democratic stars and bars,
emblematic of rsonville's starved
and tortured prisoners, Of slavery with
all its horrors, would float in it's stead.
Did you ever hear the story of the
lnhuman and fendish treatment of the
young men of the land who were so
unfortunate as to be made prisoners of
war while they WEI fighting to save
the flag and the government it repre-
sents? How, with almost insane Joy,
the survivors greeted the appearance of
that dear old flag OH their return to
freedom? Those were times that tried
mems souls-the time when all the
principles Of our government were at
stake-the time when it was thought
abroad that the experiment of a
government by and for the people was
failure, but thanks to the young men
of the land the government was saved
and the banner is still flung to the
breeze.
Long may it wave.

TRichmond Democrat.

The Presidents message is dissap-
pointment to Demo Gratis but pleasing
document to eastern Republicans. It
is a square out and out gold standard
measure. In it there is not good
word for silver but its use as money, is
deprecated as strongly as it is possible
to put words together. Mr.. Cleveland
leaves no doubt in the minds of the
people where he stands. Democrats,
you have been sold out. The man
who said in his letter accepting Dem
ocratic nomination that he was in favor
OF both gold and silver as the money of
our country is a traitor to that prom
ise, and now demands that silver be
eliminated and gold alone be made q
standard. But while he has gone this
far, it is morally certain that he can
not take a Democratic congress with
him, and his purpose to rob the debtor
class by doubling their obligations will
fail. The congressman or senator,
elected as a Democrat. who follows of
after Mr.. Cleveland's IDEAS can make
his arrangements to retire to private
life at the end of his term. The peo-
pie will be heard at the polls in thun-
Ter tones on this question.

An Epidemic Of Bloody Fux.

hat ..the eunspeakable Turk" was stern
visaged, severe, and of generally sullen
demeanor. But these were of totally
different cast: they ran out and troop
ed in laughing and chattering like q
lot of school-boys at play-time, and
their faces expressed the utmost OF
good humor. They were dressed in
their home costume, which, somehow,
didn't set out of place upon them.
The German Village looks as if it
had been taken up bodily, transported,
and set down here: so true, is the
fashion of the quaint buildings to the
originals as we have seen them pictur-
ed and described by those who have
seen the real Vaterland. The Village
dispenses excellent music and good
lager bier, besides other things drink
able, eatable and acceptable to human
soul and body.
We did not take in the Chinese
Theatre. A six-weeks' play had started
in a day Or two previous to our advent,
and we knew we couldn't stay to see it
out. We abhor an unfinished drama
Or fragmentary part of book.
Thackeray's s.Denis Duval" what
there is of him-is a cruel hoax, and
ought never have been printed. A law
making administrators, executors and
assigns liable to capital punishment
for publishing unfinished manuscript
would meet, we think, with hearty APP
proval.
So we gave the Celestial theatre the
go-by, Notwithstanding the resounding
cymbals' stirring music. To our mo-
ton, anyway, the Plaisance has few
to him who seeks desirable
and, outside of two or three
specialties, is not an indispensable ad-
junct to the Fair.

Democratic "Rural BOOSTERS" on the

President Cleveland's message to
Congress is, as we expected, a very
strong argument in favor of single
gold standard. We hope, however,
that Congress will pass free and un-
limited coinage bill and give him q
chance to veto it.

not bankrupt the debtor class. The
borrower ought to have some rights
which the gold bugs can be made to

A coinage law that does not discrim-

demand, and they look to the Fifty
third Congress to give them such a
law.

is one of the money metals OF this

points out that, with the present atti-
tude OF European countries, the proper
ratio between gold and silver cannot be
maintained by this country alone.
Therefore, he does not favor the coin-

cept for subsidiary purposes. He
thinks the European nations who ARE
depressing the price of silver can by
the suppression OF its coinage in this
country except for subsidiary purposes
be coerced into an international agree
ment more favorable than heretofore.
He is in favor of silver on = parity
with gold and stands by the platform

Who Fired the Barn 2

A barn had been burned in the sub
urbs and tramp had been arrested for
setting fire to it. After most of the tes-
timony was in the prisoner was permit
ted TO make statement.
"Your honor" he said, "if anybody
set this barn atire it was the prosecuting
attorney"
The prosecuting attorney was on his
feet in an instant and the tramp held up
his hands appealingly. "Let me go on,
he said and the court let him go on.
Didn't you," he said, addressing the
prosecutor" throw man out of your
second-story window yesterday evening :?
The prosecuting attorney said he had
caught tramp in his house about s
o'clock the evening before and had fired
him through a window.
"Thanksl" said the prisoner. THAT
was me. | went out onto a shed roof
that almost broke my neck and went on
down where lit on the hired girl and
scared her so that she made break for
the back yard, where she started a stray
dog so that he made off with howl for
the street, running between a police
mans legs and upsetting him.
"The policeman made swipe at him
with his club and hit horse standing
by the curbstone and he ran away, and
up the street he scattered crowd of
women and they scared horse hitched to
a milk wagon, and he broke for home
and there scared COW, and she ran over
cat in the stable yard watching a rat
hole, and the cat went into the barn
where the lantern was hanging, and the
lantern was turned over on to a pile of
hay and set it afire, and the man who
ought to have been there was down.
town trying to catch the horse that
scared the crowd that scared his horse
that ran away and set the barn on fire.
And that's how it happened" concluded
the tramp, with long breath of relief.
The court was paralyzed. "And where
were you all this timer" was the next
inquiry.
"Me?" he asked innocently, Oh! l
was in the gentleman's kitchen eating
the hired girls supper while she was out
trying to find the policeman the dog up
set, SOS he could come and see what had
dropped on the hired girl"
The case isn't settled vet.
