Indianapolis to-day is adorned with
the nations flag as il has never been
before. From the great business blocks
In the center of the city. draped from
roof TO basement, TO the little cottage in
tho suburbs with its single banner.
there is scarcely building that does
not show touch of red. white and blue.
The people put the colors there In honor
of the visiting veterans of the army
which fought under this flag. and for it.
but they do it gladly and with personal
qualification. They handle the draperies
with reverence and they look at them
with pride. To them they are some
thing more than "mere bunting" The
flag typities to them the country and its
glory; it means freedom and happy
homes, prosperity and peace. 1t is
sacred, too, with the blood of heroes
who fought and died that it might float
supreme. They love it; they thrill at
the sight of it. Even the toy banner In
the hand of the little child has it's mean
ing. They have made their walls gay
for the Grand Army. but there is not
one OF them who is not himself the hap
pier because of the display. Not one
looks at the emblem as "mere bunting"
but as "our" flag, my" flag. the flag
of our Union forever" AS General
Harrison once said, cit is flag to
which all men bow" Long may it wave!

AT the time of the fight on Fort Sumter,
the fact that such awful firing and so long
continued should have so little effect so
far as killing is concerned. caused great
deal of talk ct the time and it was often q
subject of comment after other battles
Marshal SAKE. high authority IN such
things. said that to kill n man in battle
the mans weight in lead must be expended.
A French medical ana surgical gazette,
published at Lyons. says this fact was
verified at Solferno. even with the recent
great improvement in fire arms. The Aus
TRANS fred 100000 rounds. The loss of
the French and Italians was 1000 killed
and 10000 wounded. Each man hit cost
200 rounds. and every man killed cost 1900
rounds. The mean weight of balls is one
ounce; thus, we find it required. on an av-
erage Dr. pounds OF lead TO kill man. If
any of our friends should get into a military
fight they should feel great comfort In the
fact that 200 shots may be fired at them
before they are hit ami 400 before they
shuttle off this mortal coil.

INDIANA veterans of the civil war are
happier to-day because of the commits
sioners' decision to remove the Mexican
war dates from the soldiers monument.
A few people profess not To be able
10 understand the sentiment which
leads the men who fought in the
war of the rebellion to object to
sharing their honors equally with
the survivors of other wars. The men
who fought the battles of the Union
between 'C1 and '65 know that no war
lMs the right to share equally with that;
was thought of when tho monument was
projected, and that the offending figures
were interpo!ated into the design with
out public consent. 1t is not personal
matter with them. They are not con-
cerned with individuals. What they
wants that, when posterity looks at that
monument. it shall be reminded of the
greatest event in the country's history,
and that it's attention shall not be di-
verted to minor conflicts. They wish
to deprive NO man of any honor. They
are willing to acknowledge the bravery
of the Mexican veterans; they are ready
to aid in building them u memorial, but
this is their monument, and their hearts
have been soro because it's meaning was
destroyed. 1t is theirs again now,
without qualification, and they right
fully rejoice.

A PREPQsTBROUs COMPLAINT,

A few excellent persons who took
sides with MIR. Langsdale are trying to
make it appear that the removal of the
Mexican dates is a reflection upon the
valor of the Indiana men who served
the country in the war with Mexico.
When they recover their right minds
they will sec how absurd such state
ment is. In no paper. in no address by
any representative Union soldier which
the Journal has seen or heard has there
been any such intimatiOn. Such q charge
would be q reflection upon the courage
of tho Union soldiers of the State, since
the greater part of those who served in
Mexico were the fathers or elder broth
ers of those who served from 1861 to
1865; indeed, quite number were in
both armies. Those who know the facts,
as men like Gen. Lew Wallace have
them. know that no troops in Mexico dis
played greater fOrtitude, endurance and
gallantry than the sons of Indiana. AS
to the valor of Indiana men in war, no
monument is needed to enforce that
fact. As it appears from the speeches
and resolutions of the Grand Army,
which led III the erection of the mOnu-
ment. and in the Legislature which ap-
propriated the money, the design of the
SHIFT was primarily to emphasize the
fact that there was great struggle over
the preservation of the Union and of pop
ular government. in which the cause of
the Union triumphed, and secondly,
that to that cause Indiana gave scores
of thousands of her best men.
In view of such facts az these, and
that no one has cast amy aspersions upon
tho soldierly qualities OF Indianians
who served in Mexico, the complaint
that they have been slandered because
they are not recognized TO equal honor
in a monument designed to commence
rate other events is preposterous. 1t is
strange that it does not occur to these
men that they are the ones who are cast
ing aspersions upon the Indiana men
who fought in tho Mexican war.

SPEAKING OF the defiant attitude of
the Roby sports and gamblers toward
the State and the Governor, Gen. Lew
Wallace said that if he was Governor
he would declare martial law in Lake
county and use the State troops to de-
molish the nuisance. Gen. Phil Sheri-
dan exercised that authority in Chicago
after the fire to preserve the public
peace, and there can be no reason why
the Governor of the State, who is
charged with tho execution of the laws,
should not exercise his preroGatives,
even to declaration of martial law to
enforce the laws and maintain the pub
tic peace. The source from which the
suggestion comes entities it to respect
full consideration.

pendent than the jewellers in cities. The

The Long Beach Exhibit Makes Fine
Showing.
Long Beach has an exhibition of the
products of the soil at the rooms of the
Chamber of commerce that for quantity
and quality of the articles on exhibit
proves it to be one of the richest and
most productive sections in all Southern
California. AS an evidence OF the diver
sified products of the soil surrounding
the most beautiful seaside resort in ex-
istence, visit to the Chamber OF COM
merce rooms will well repay home seek
ers, our own people as well as the
strangers within our gates. The exhibit
will be facts not theories which will
confront them, and the articles them
selves are palpable witnesses to the
glorious possibilities OF our soil and
climate. The soll in this particular
section of our county is very productive
and will raise anything that can be
grown in semi-tropic California. Hun
dreds of beautiful homes now cover
what but a few years ago was thought to
be fit for nothing but pasturage Tor
cattle and sheep, but the development OF
water by the Alsmitos land company
and ether parties worked a mighty
transformation, and the desert now
blooms as the rose." The articles now
on exhibit were hastily gathered to-
gether in two days time and will be
augmented and improved from time to
time as opportunity offers.
The exhibit is as follows:
B. J. Lyster, lemons, eweet corn, pop
