WHEN the Universal Peace Union
the other day requested Mayor Stuart
OF Philadelphia to allow their flag to
be raised over independence Hall in
commemoratlon of the Arbitration
principle now recognized by civilized
nations, the Mayor replied cour,iously,
and SAID, 81 have always refused to
allow any flag other than the American
flag to be raised over independence
Hall, and must decline to grant your
request. No flag excepting our
national ensign has ever been per.
mitted to fly over that building, and
feel that you and your union, upon
reflection, can but agree with me that
under no Circumstance whatever should
the American flag, which floats there
throughout the entire year, be permit
ed to be hauled down to be replaced
w any otuSi, III uidttCI WHdt THAT Olner
may be or represent.
The patriotic spirit of these remarks
might be proftably studied In New
York, Brooklyn, Chicago and other
American cities in which demagogues
in office truckle to the passions and
prejudices of foreign agltators. In
this country we give altogether too
much recognition of ''hags" that are
un-American, and the official represent
atives of the people should, as Mayor
Stuart has done, draw the line on all of
them except the national ensign, or the
ensigns of our local or State power.

IT is a singular TACT that lawyers
most accomplished professionally. and
who frame intricate wills for others,
very often make wills for themselves
that will not stand legal interpretat-
ion. This was noticeably the fact in
the case OF the late Samuel J. Tilden,
whose legal ability no one doubted,
and a singular feature of the will of
Severn Teackle Wallis, the distin
guished baltimore lawyer who died
last week, is the fact that it only bears
his crossmark. Mr.. Wallis was noted
| for his carefulness and the methodical
and exact manner IN which he attended
to every little detail of his wide spread
practice, and yet it appears that the
execution OF his will was delayed until
his dying moments. The will is a
voluminous document, and covers
twelve pages of type written copy. 1t
was executed on the day that he died,
and when he was SC weak that his
name had to be written by a friend,
who also guided the hand OF the dying
man in making the crossmark.

THE IR. @. u. a. M.

The annual State Council of the
Junior Order of United American
Mechanics just held in this town was
an event of unusual local interest.
q Indeed, considering the patriotic,
fraternal and beneficial features of the
organization it could not have been
otherwise.
&The deliberations of the Council
were conducted with intelligence, dig
nifty and decorum, and the high objects
and purposes of the Order, were fifty
reflected in the personal bearing and
demeanor of the Delegates composing
the Convention.
In a word, the impression made
upon this community by the Represent
atives OF the Order, gathered from
every section OF the State, was most
excellent, and the cordially everywhere
shown them was the unmistakable evil
dence of mutual good will.
In view of the exhaustive review OF
the patriotic objects and high aims of
the Order, contained in the very
excellent addresses of welcome made
by George A. Blake, Esq, and VIM. S.
Evans, Esq, which we publish in full
elsewhere in this issue of the WHIG,
no extended editorial notice Of them
seems necessary.
Suffice 1t to say that the Order is in
all Its features eminently American, and
pre-emlnently Republican, using that
word, not in its narrow or partlzan but
in its highest and best sense.
Its work is that OF developing high
standard of Americanism, not, in view
of the heterogeneous character OF our
population by specious appeals to class
or racial prejudice, but the inculcation
of intelligent lessons of devotion to
country by manly and legitimate meth
DDS.
In our opinion the Order has a
great future before it in the admirable
work of impressing upon the younger
classes of our population, its distin-
gushing principle of America for
Americans, while it sets up no mean or
or invidious distinction against worthy
citizens of foreign birth.
We extend the Order our cordial
good wishes for increased usefulness
IN the present, and abundant develop
ment and growth in the future.

THE venerable Senator Morrill,, of
Vermont, although carrying the ply
steal weight of eighty-iour years,
showed by his cogent and logical argu
ment in the Senate on Tuesday that
he has lost none OF the mental Wig or of
his younger days. The Republicans
in the Senate who have thus far par
ticipated in the debate on the Wilson
bill have never appeared to better
advantage as defenders of Protection,
and the venerable Senator from Yer
mont still holds his own with collea-
CUES who had not been born when he
first entered the halls of legislation.

the vain attempt to discipline recall
cltrant party brethren.

Mr.. DAN VOORHEES, popularity
known as the Tall Sycamore of the
Wabash, is evidently in bad humor
these days.
His denunciation of plutocracy
hasn't aroused his Injeanny consti-
tuents to wild outbursts of enthusiasm
to any great extent, and he feels that
his fences have all gone to smash
while his attention has been diverted
by the mixed interests of whisky and
sugar. 1t was in this condition OF
mind that the request of correspon
dent for Mr.. Voorhees, views on Mr..
Hills speech was sent in to the In.
diana Senator. His reply indicated
the deep melancholy which pervades
his soul. He wrote on the correspon
dents card: "No one but IA fool
would ask my views on Hill speech"

Medical writer's claim that the success

non irritating, easy of application, and
one that will reach the remote sores and

Cream Balm. This safe and pleasant
remedy has mastered catarrh as nothing
else has ever done, and both physicians

CONGRESSMAN BRECKENRIDGE re.
turn to the House OF Representatives
evinced his determination to "brass
it out" 1t is pity he did not pos
sess the same "heroism" a little
earlier in life.
As the New York San, a good
Democratic authority forcibly re-
marks: THE opposition to Breckin-
ridge is bitter in Kentucky, and it is
no less strong among men who are
usually more lenient to masculine in
diligence than among those who are
strictest in applying the moral stan
dard. Just at present the outlook
for a Democratic majority in the next
Congress is not over brilliant, and
the party in the Blue Grass District
should not be disposed to take the
risk of yielding to the wishes of Breck
inridge's friends by shouldering such
a fellow and losing both Represen
tative and the respect of the public.
The Democratic party is carrying
already a pretty heavy load, and it
has no strength left to support the
further burden OF this mans infamy.
Such friends as Breckenridge has
left will do him a service if they will
exhort him to give up his bravado
and his efforts to bluff the decent
sentiment of society. The people Of
this country want to hear no more of
him and to see no more of him. They
do not "desire in their Representa-
tive" such "gifts" of hypocrisy as he
possesses, and they have no palliation
tor such weakness" as his, weakness
due to complete moral rottenness.
which he makes the more odious by
insisting on thrusting himself upon
their notice alter they all know of his
infamy.

GOD SAVE THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY"

l oppose 1t and shall do everything in my power
to defeat it-hrst, because 1t is unnecessary; sec
ond, because it is unjust; third, because it is
unsuccessful fourth, because it is unpopular
fifth because it is undemocratic; sixth because it
is un-American; seventh, because it is unwise;
and finally, on general principles, because it is
unworthy of an intelligent government supposed
to represent free and enlightened people.
Eliminate the socialistic income tax, reform
the schedules to conform with the doctrine of a
tariff for revenue and grant TO industries;
sufficient protection to guarantee their maintenance
on the basis OF Amerlcdn ,vdges.
If this shall not be done, God save the Demo-
cratic party!
Such was the passionate not to say
prayerful protest of Senator James
Smith good CO Democrat of New
Jersey, against the iniquity of an in
come tax as embodied in the Wilson
Bill, in the U. S. Senate on Tuesday
last.
Senator Smith who evidently has
read the recent election returns from
his state, represents commonwealth
whose industrial interests like those
of many other states of the Union, are
chiefly dependent upon the mainten-
ance of Protection and whose people
have recently manifested an extra
ordinary degree of dissatisfaction with
the policy of the Democratic party.
No man IN New Jersey knows more
than he does the destructive effect
which the Wilson bill would exert on
its manufactures if it were ever to
become law or realizes more shrewdly
the damage which it has already done
to his party. When he strikes at the
income tax he means to strike at the
Wilson bill itself, or at least that is the
conclusion which his arguments
undoubtedly lead to. The income tax
cannot be eliminated from the bill
without forcing its authors to tear the
bill apart again and precipitating the
Democrats In Congress into a con-
fusion from which it is highly improb-
able they could rally in support of any
tariff measure.
That Senator Smiths speech on the
income tax represents the all but
unanimous judgment of his party in
the Eastern States there can be little
doubt. That his warning on the tariff
schedules represents the feelings of a
very large proportion of the Democrats
in the Middle States there can be
equally little doubt. His demand that
the tariff must be so constructed as to
grant sufficient protection for the main
tenance of American wages voices the
sentiment of the thousands OF Demo-
cratic workingmen who in New Jersey
New York, Pennsylvania and elsewhere
have voted the Republican ticket this
year solely on this issue. That defect
ion will be not only permanent If the
Wilson bill should be driven through
the Senate but it will be UNNECESSARILY
enlarged in the next election, and it
is with this prospect in view that
Senator Smith sees no hope for the
Democratic party in the future outside
of the special interference of Divine
Providence.
