She's All Right,

Our esteemed Mugwump contemporary,
the Boston Herald hos been inspecting the
entrails OF the Mugwump bird. and taking
omens from the propension of the cod
fishs scales. and reducing the guinea
hen to sovereigns. and gnawlng It's old files
until 1t feels Itself filled with the spirit OF
divination and calculation and this is what
IL dlvines and calculates for the latitudes Of
this State:
I'VE expect to SEQ tho regular tic kst this year the
ticket OF the HrLLTammany combination. There can
be but state Of affairs that will render its election
probable, and that will be the nomination of ono no
better by the Republicans III Is contest between
ths kind Of Democracy and PLAT Republicanisn. the
former may succeed for there may be taking 20 the
woods Oh both sides then"
Taphit. tuphoo the moplng owl doth to the
moon complain. There Is this much of truth
and foundation In tho Washington street
forecast: the regular Democratic ticket
will be the Democratic regular ticket The
fact was not absolutely unknown before it
swan into the Mugwump ken. The Tam
many Democracy includes about all the
Democrats In this town. that is to
say. the Democrats. whether members
OF Tammany Hall or not who vote the
regular Democratic ticket here, are about
all the Democrats there are here. The
business office OF the Boston Herald Is moro
than large enough to hold full meeting Of
the anti-snapper Democracy. the unsatisfled
remnant that kicks vainly against the
regulars. Mugwumro don't count. of
course, except when they help the regular
ticket by opposing It,
What Boston calls the HILL Democracy
10 tho regular Democratic party OF the
State. Governor HILL has been Its
leader and 1t hasn't failed of a plurality
In recent years. Why should it this year ?
The dissatisfied Democrats in this State are
the few but bumptious persons who regard
themselves as special coudults for Federal
patronage. These persons had full conf
dence after the election that the great bulk
OF the Democratic party OF New York |
was to be punished for opposing the |
nomination OF Mr.. CLEVELAND before and |
ut the National Convention OF 1892. and |
that no would make 1t his object to fattsn |
an insignificant faction. 1t must be said

One of Our Anniversaries.

On June IA, l777, one hundred and sixteen
years ago to-day. the Continental Congress
adopted the Stars and Stripes as the flag OF
the United States. The con ventional pref
udlcc against the number thirteen could
not have prevailed extensively Mt that time.
for the ensign OF the patriot colonsts con-
sisted OF thirteen stars and thirteen stripes.
symbollcnl OF the thirteen original States.
The original idea Of those members OF
Congress, who interested themselves In the
flag question, appears to have been to make
the number OF stars and stripes correspond
with the number OF States: and subse-
quently upon the admission OF Kentucky
and Vermont both stars and stripes we're
increased to fifteen. Two objections to a
further extension OF this idea now appeared.
For purposes Of symmetry 1t was desira-
bic that tho extreme upper and lower
stripe should be red white stripe at the
border being indistinct and unsuitable. To
retain this the number OF stripes must. Of
necessity. always be an odd one; and no
new State could be represented upon the
national banner until another newly ad-
mitted State should be there to keep 1t COM
pany. Thus. California admitted in 1850.
would have been unrepresented for eight
years. until. in 1858. Minnesota was ad-
mitted. cumbrous and unsatisfactory con-
dition Of things for new States, proud OF
their advent into the Federal Union.
To obviate this difficulty. and to preserve
the beauty OF the flag, compromise was
effected. Tho stars were to correspond with
the number OF existing States, the stripes
with the number Of original States. The
latter were reduced to thirteen the former
have since been increased to their present
number. forty-four. Such Is the history OF
the flag. the anniversary of whose adoption
will be celebrated by patriotic organiza-
tions throughout the country to-day.
Undoubtedly the celebrations and fcstivi-
ties OF this year. and the appearance in
American streets and upon American waters
Of the ensigns OF other countries. have
stimulated more than the usual amount Of
patriotic interest in the American flag.
They recall. too. the eloquent and forceful
words Of BENJAMIN HARRISON. the twenty
third President: IL have been charged with
too sentimental IN appreciation of the flag.

They VIII Not Attempt to Defeat Mr..
Cleveland's Administration.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Albany
Express. will not admit that in the present
grave crisis Of the Democracy. there Is any
hope that all OF the three anti-snapper Dem.
ocrats. who represent New York districts
In Congress. will keep the peace toward
their party for the sake OF helping to carry
Mr.. CLEvELAND's Administration safely
through the stress and the danger that
tmust confront during the next six months
Messrs. WARNER and LOCKWOOD may per-
haps be willing to let the Democracy con-
tinue to govern the Empire State. the Er-
press informs us: but 80 far as Gen.
CHARLES TRACEY Is concerned. the voice OF
the friends OF the gallant General In Albany
county Is for war. They favor two tickets,
and anything to beat the machine"
The circumstance that the war which Gen.
TRACEY and his friends are said to contem-
plate with such cheerfulness. cannot possi-
bly, result in anything but tho rout Of the
attacking faction, ought not to deter them
from their campaign; but such special
friends OF Mr.. CLEVELAND as they profess
70 be. might surely pause at the reflection
that II they really open the hostilties they
contemplate. they will add immensely to
the difficulties OF the situation ut Washing
ton. 1t would indeed be curious il Gen.
TRACEY should deliberately engage in a
crusade whose first effect. II it should rise
into any real Importance. must be to alien
ate support from Mr.. CLEVELAND and to
weaken him in Congress in his attempt to
repeal the SHERMAN law and to enact a
truly Democratic tariff without any trace
OF protection remaining in it.
For these reasons we conclude that the
Albany Express is in error. There will be
no anti-snapper war upon the New York
Democracy In the year 1893: and. we dare
say. Gen. TRACEY himself will appear not
only as champion Of the CLEVELAND Ad-
ministration. but also as defender OF regu-
larity. discipline. and success in the politics
OF the Empire State.

Under the order issued by Superintendent

cycIers Tor riding ut a rate Of speed dangerous

the warning thus given will be sufficient to set

He Comes High, but 1t Seems We Must
Have Him.

Mr.. JOHN H. STAR1N Is an expensive
luxury. AS the Rapid Transit Commission
now stands, all Of its work for the last two
years Is gone for naught; and. in addition,
the expense OF the Commission itself must
be borne by the city instead OF by some
beneficiary OF the Commissions action.
This Is the proud achievement OF the intel
lectual and incorruptible STARIN. In his
zeal to serve this town and to ameliorate the
condition OF its poor people. he has defeated
all immediate hope OF rapid transit. turned
away from the treasury an annual income
Of from $15O.OOO to s4oO. 900. and saddled tho
community with an expense account of
$4,000 that must be met at once by the
bloated taxpayers.
Decidedly STARIN is costly citizen. Since
the day when Mayor GRANT conceived the
idea Of putting him on the Rapid Tran
sit Commission, he has not contributed to
its labors one hour OF useful work. or to it's
deliberations one idea or suggestion worth
speaking Of At every point he has proved
an obstructionist for the sake OF obstruc-
ton; and the final outcome Of his labors
and his genius Is the destruction OF the
Commission. the driving from it in disgust
and antipathy Of every member Of 1t but
himself; and the putting upon the city Of
an outrageous condition. coupled with seri-
GUS pecuniary damage.
STARIN has constituted himself a public
enemy. a danger to the welfare of the COM
munity; and he is not alone. AS bad as he.
or worse in the degree that they are not
as stupid. are those who aid and abet him
In his course. No one could be so hostile to
STAR1N as to congratulate him upon the
allies he has made.
