THE flag of the United States, the
flag adopted by the governmento of the
constitution, was one hundred years
old Thursday. The stars and stripes,
thirteen stripes and thirteen stars, was
first adopted as the national flag June
IA, 1777, and remained unchanged
until 1874, when on melton of Sena-
tor Bradley, of Vermont, which state
with Kentucky, had been admitted
into the Union. it was resolved that
from and after May 1, 1895, "the flag
of the United States be fifteen stripes
alternate red and white, that the
union be fifteen stars, white on blue
field" and the first flag thus adopted
by our present government came into
legal existence the 18th of June fol-
lowing. The stripes were reduced to
tie original thirteen in 1918 at the
recommendation of Capt. Samuel C..
Reid, OF the navy, and since that
time new star has been added on the
4th of July next succeeding the ad-
mi sion of a new state. In these one
hundred years strength, dignity and
extended influence have been given to
the flag, and the added millions of our
people are firmly resolved nobody
snail lower the stars and stripes where
they rightfully wave.-Ledger.

Columbus, O., September 16-The
Republican State Executive Committee
is at loss to know what to do with
Governor Mckinley in the State cam
paign.
He has placed himself at the disposal
of the committee for the whole cam
paign, but from the tone of his opening
speech at Springfield, it is evident that
he intends to make the need for the
virtual restoration of his tariff law the
burden of his campaign speeches, and
the committee is inclined to join those
prominent Republicans outside Of the
State who do not think it wise, in view
Of the return of prosperity to the coun-
try, to advocate any kind Of tariff
change for the reason that they do not
think the people viii approve OF it.
AS the Governor has always taken
prominent part in the State campaigns,
it will cause a great deal of talk If he
is not prominent in this one.
1t is noticed, however, that not half
as many meetings are now announced
for him as for Ex-Governor Foraker.
This may cause trouble, as Mckinley
knows that relegating the tariff ques-
ton to the rear will also carry him
from the front rank Of the party.

CONGRESS TO BLAME
Comptroller Eckels Tells Why There
is Trouble Keeping Up the Gold
Reserve--An Expensive Operation.

Copyrighted, 1895, by the Associated
Press.)
London, September 16.-The Hon.
James H. Eckles, Comptroller of the
United States treasury, made the fol-
lowing statement to-day on the request
of a representative of the Associated
Press:
Being thus far away from New
York. and not knowing the exact local
conditions prevailing there which are
producing the shipment of gold abroad,
feel that / can say nothing upon that
subject which will of special benefit TO
the public Generally speaking, these
gold shipments come about from the
fact that the American people are buy
ing a great deal more abroad and not
selling sufficient of their produce TO
equalize things, thus necessitating a
settlement of the balance due in gold.
We maintain a financial system which
makes the United States treasury a
general market OF supply for all re-
curing gold. Consequently, more or
less embarrassment comes to the ad-
ministration of the Treasury Depart
ment when these balances require to
be settled. However, the treasury has
always managed to maintain, unques-
toned. the payment In gold OF its OBJ
legations and always will do so. The
system under which il is forced to op-
crate makes It sometimes expensive TO
do so, but as long as representatives In
Congress refuse to change that system,
and as long as the voters tolerate them,
the people have no right to complain
of the expense"

stumbling block of last year is remoy-

a recognition of the organization. In
the strike last year the operators ad-
mitted they could pay the raise, but
swore they would not recognize the or
ganization. That there is good organ
ization this year seems evident from
the convention to-day, as one Of the
leaders said it is a case of after the
raise and not the organization.
