EDITORIAL COMMENTS.

New York Sun: The United States faf
was III years Old yesterday If any ma.
| tlonal colors are entitled to the designa,
tlon odd Glory" those adopted by Uncle
sam III years ago certainly are. The flag
| or the United States is older than the
majority Of the flags of European nations
lying to-day. The flag of Great Britain
was adopted In 1901. or twenty-four years
after that Of the United States. The flag
OF Spain was adopted in 1855, while the
tri.color OF France, also the red. white
ana plue, took form in 1874. The flag Of
Portugal was adopted in 1880, that Of Italy
In le4S. and that Of the German empire
| In 1911, so that the starry banner OF the
| United States may well be called the
old flag. The Stars and Stripes also
have been through more battles and have
waved over more Victories. both on the
seas and the land, than any other flag
flying In any part of the world to-day.
Its nearest competitor Is the flag Of Great
Britain but since 1900 British victories
on land and sea have been inconslderable
as compared with those OF the United
States More lives have been given up
and more limbs sacrificed in defence OF the
Stars and Stripes than for any European
flag. over million men have died il
order that that pretty bunting might re-
main unsullied. and an army OF 25,O00OOO
unenlisted men stands ready to-day to see
that no dishonor befalls Old Glory.
New York Herald: II seems as II the
fleece hung up In the Senate's tariff dis
cussicn is as hard 10 reach effectually as
was the famous mythical dragon-guarded
golden fleece OF Colchis, which even ia

had not Medea, with her magic art
obliged him by putting the dragon 10
sleep. But how the Republican dragon
guarding the Ohio golden fleece Is to be
put TO sleep IL is impossible to say un-
less. perhaps. the Republican senators will
continue their speeches.
New York Times: The evidence given
yesterday by the ex-convict Apo IS the
most startling the most appalling, that
has yet been submitted TO the Lexow
committee. OF course, the mans charac-
ter is as bad as bad can be- If he has a
motive for lying there is no doubt that
he will lie freely. fluently and under oath
There are marks Of falsehood in some
parts of his testimony that pertain 10
personal grudges of his own. But does
anybody suppose that he could possibly |
have fabricated the complicated story Of |
the doingS and dealings Of the pretended |
dealers in counterfeit money who swindle |
rural criminals. and of the relations of |
the police with the criminals? The sup /
position is absurd. Nobody can doubt that |
the story is in the main true. and in the |
light of this revelation the city Of New |
York. as represented by it's police seems
to be revealed, more even than In any
previous testimony in a hot and bituml-
nous resemblance to the Cities OF the
