FIELD OF THE FLAG.
unwnirs Star Would Mako Old Glory
Shine In Symmetry.

Shine In Symmetry.
The Al stars now in the field Of the
American flag present a very jagged ap-
pearance There does not seem to be
any way to arrange them in equal rows.
All sorts of forms and arrangements
have been adopted by fagmakers. Per-
haps some uniform plan of placing the
stars would be settled upon If it were
not that every one expects the number
will shortly be increased
No change can be made, however, nm
til 1896, rs the law requires that addi-
tional stars shall be added only ON the
Fourth of July succeeding the admis-
sion of new states. In all probability
Utah and New Mexico will be admitted
next winter, which will increase the
stars in the field to 49, But even then
there will be almost the same irregu-
iarity, though the field will be more
nearly filled mp and will appear lesa
Jagged than now.
Forty-eight stars could be arranged
30 as to present perfectly regular APP
pearance. and it is not improbable that
that number may be reached before long.
Oklahoma, booming territory, ia ask-
ing admission, and Arizona has long
had pretensions to statehood.
With the admission of those four or
ganized territories the national domain
will be exhausted unless the Indian
country is to be absorbed or admitted az
an Indian state. There is, Of course,
Alaska, but that region can hardly be
considered rs a possible state It might
DO added to our extreme northwestern
state, or even to California. as there 10
no constitutional obstacle to this.
An ideal number of stars for arrange
ment in the field of the flag would be
40. Up, down and diagonally there
would be rows Of seven, the mystic
number.
1t is quite possible that there may DO
40 states before the end Of the century.
The civilized Indians in the Indian Tar
| ritory may ask and obtain admission,
| or the American colonies In the Ha-
] waiian Islands may come in. It is true
| that they are now maintaining ali indie
! pendent republic, but they constantly
avow their purpose to ask admission to
the Union. SAN Francisco Chronicle.
