Gov, Flowers Patriotism. (2)

The general assembly of the state of
New York passed an act prohibiting the
hoisting of any flag other than that OF
the United States or of the state of New
York upon any state, county, city, or
municipal building, except upon the oc-
casion of the visit of some accredited re-
preventative, civil, naval, or military, of
a foreign power. Gov. Flower vetoed
the act.
Speaking of Gov. Flowers action. the
Chicago Inter Ocean gives its readers the
following good, sound American doctrine :
Nothing in the act prevented any Irish,
Bohemian. English, or other fraternity
of alien birth or descent from parading
under the flag of their country or theil
ancestors country. Nothing prohibited
the hoisting of foreign flag over any
hall or building owned by a private
pcrson or by any society incorporated for
trading or for social purposes. The act
was prohibitory as to public buildings
only. But the governor in his veto seeks
to convey the impression that the act
would prevent the display of any foreign
flag under any circumstances. This is
meant for the men who do not read, is
simply demagogue's pandering to pre-
judice.
What would be thought if number
of British born or British descended sail
ors serving on United States war ship
should be allowed to hoist the flag of
St. George on the mainmast in honor of
Queen Victoria's birthday? What would
be thought if the German born OF Ger
man descended soldiers of regiment
should demand to march under the Ger
man flag in honor Of the anniversary of
the coronation of the German emperor?

militia is not more emphatically pub

THE PLUMED KNIGHTS IDEA
Again They Appear IN Hon. Tom Reeds
Utterances on Silver.
The Ex-speaker Gives Direct Expression
to the Plan Developed BY Mr.. Blaine

The utteranccs of Ex-SPeaker Reed,
Senator Lodge, Representatives Burrows
and Cannon, and other Republican lead
ers in favor of freer use of silver are
regarded in congressional districts as
revival of the plans and aspirations OF
James G. Blaine. 1t IS well-known that
Mr.. Blaine's hopes were to- unite the
western hemisphere by means OF an in
ter.ontinental railroad, reciprocal treat
les and a common m ,dium of exchange.
Representative Hit Qll) who was
closely associated with Mr.. Blaine, says
that the proposition of Mr.. Reed is on
the lines of Mr.. Blaine's policy. The
latter was never fully spread before the
public, as it had scope which could be
developed only by patience and by slow
stages, and Mr.. Blaine's health durirg
his later days was not such as to permit
him to accomplish the end he had in
view.
..Mr. Reed now presents the PROPOSE
ton with directness," said MIR. Hit,
4.whereas Mr. Blaine proposed passive
steps which tended toward the same gen.
cral results. It was Mr.. Blaine's belief
that the nations of the western hemi-
sphere should be procally united in
their commercial dealings, in their rail-
roads, in their money, and in all lines of
action which would make them strong
against the rest of the world. Most of
the southern republics were ready for
mutual action on silver, as they are sill
yer using countries, but they were not
vet ready for the discriminating tariffs
which would cut them off from the i'm
port duties on which they largely depend.
The reciprocity treaties were a step in
the direction of that mutual cooperation.
Mr.. Blaine's speeches before the Pan
American conference disclosed that his
policy embraced united action on silver,
on the tariff, and on all subjects in which
the western nation had a common pur-
pose."
A great deal of significance is gwen
the Reed interview by many public me Il.
For several months there has been a
growing sentiment among the Republi-
can members in favor Of liberal policy
toward silver. Among Mr.. Reeds most
intimate and constant associates In the
house of late have been Representative
Newland, of Nevada, and Representative
Sweet, of Idaho, who are radical sup,
portcrs of silver. The e1-speaksr has
made study of the silver question from
the standpoint Of the miner and west
ern member, until he is said to have a
mastery of the intricacies of the question
quite equal to that Of MIR. Bland.

Presidents Who Were Farmers.

IT6SluouJS w no w eI6 Z 6Tm6TS.
In those halcyon times for Agriculture
ten Presidents of the United States were
called from farms:
Washington, the land-surveyor and
farmer, from Mount Vernon.
John Adams of Quincy, who, during
the last year of his Presidency, said: 81
am weary, worn and disgusted to DEATH
l had rather chop wood, dig bitches
make fences upon my poor little farm
Alas! poor farm and poorer family what
have you lost that your country might
be free!''
Jefferson, farmer, philosopher and
statesman, from Monticello.
Madison, farmer and lawyer of Mont
pelier, Va.
Monroe, farmer from Oak Hill, Va.
John Quincy Adams, from the Quincy
farm of 100 acres near Boston. "It is
said that most of the trees were raised
by John Quincy Adams. from the seeds
which lie was in the habit of picking up
in his wanderings. The most peculiar
interest attaches to shellbark hickory
which he planted more than fifty years
previous to his death. In this tree he
took a peculiar satisfaction, but he was
an enthusiast in regard to all trees of the
forest, differing in this respect from his
father, who was an agriculturist of the
Cato stamp,-was more inclined to lay
the axe to them than to propagate
them.''
Andrew Jackson, of the "Hermitage"
in Tennessee. who, as farmer, soldier,
and lawyer, was most excellent type
of the best Americanism.
Van Buren, of Kinderhook, N. Y, was
called to the Presidency from his sheep
and wool-farm, although he was LAWYER
of far above average requirements and
ability.
William Henry Harrison, from his farm
at North Bend, Ohio.
Tyler, of Sherwood Forest Farm, Vir-
ginia, where he subsequently died.
James K. Polk, of Duck River. Ten
nesee, also came from the farm to the
Presidency.
This selection Of Presidents from rur-
al homes from among the farms of the
country illustrates the fact that1n those
days there was no profession or calling
which held more exalted position in
public estimatian than that of Agricul-
ture. Secretary Morton in the June

wonder off over this ground, for some of
them prefer a long range during battle,

Taxation of Church Property.

Uptaxed church property in the Unit
ed States aggregates the enormous sum
of two billions of dollars. Let this vast
amount of property be taxed, and the
taxation on the workingman's home will
be lessened. Let this property pay its
just share of tax alton, and all church or
ganizations will stand upon an equal
footing, whereas at the present time the
Roman church calls everything that is
held by priest or other official Of the
church, "church ploperty," and pays no
tax upon it, while Protestant churches
are usually content with the exemptions
meant by the law.
While the government exempts church
property from taxation, it must neces-
sarily tax other property enough higher
to make up the deficiency, thus practic-
ally forcing the property owner who be-
longs to no church to assist in support

and would be obviated If all property
except that owned by the government
was taxed.
But the great reason for taxing all
property net actually owned and con-
trolled by the government, is that ad .
vantage is taken of existing laws to ex-
empt millions of dollars worth of pro-
perty that should be taxed. By Romish
