fact that the flag is a thing to be

very pretty and impressive proceeding.
Secretary Lament thought there
was no good reason why the same
ceremony could not be adopted, with
certain notifications, for the army,
which is as much in need of being
reminded of the regard due to the
flag as is the navy. Oddly enough, the
proposition met with objection from
officers of the army, but they did not
strike the secretary as convincing. Al
all events, instead Of permitting the
flag to be sent aloft every morning
with the mere salute of the morning
gun, which Is touched off by soldier

there is a supply Of music suficien

The Honorable Bourke Cochran has
hitherto been supposed to be Tariff
Reformer of Bpotian fetch and purity.
The general public has understood
that the chief end and aim of Mr..
Cockran's political existence has been
to tear down the custom houses and
throw our ports wide open to the trade
of the whole world. 1t appears. from
his recent utterances. that the general
public never made a greater mistake.
Mr. Cochran announces that he is
done with Tariff Reform, that he never
again intends to fight under that ban
ner. It is safe to say that this gentle
mans advocacy of Tariff Reform has
been no more insincere than that of Mr..
Cleveland. Both have been the pup
pets of the money power from the be-
ginning. Each engaged in the agita-
ton to reduce taxation 20 further per-
sonal ends. When it was found that
this course was distasteful to the men
from whom they expected aid, it was
at once changed. Mr.. Cleveland threw
aside Tariff Reform, when he insisted
in 1892 through Mr.. German and 9TH
ers at the convention that nominated
him. on going back to the tariff legis-
lation that existed prior 10 1886. Now

cussed which should not be discussed.
Hopes are raised in the breasts that
ought not to be raised Tariff can not
be discussed without concentrating the
attention of the people upon the trust,
and the trust is sacred. A discussion
of the Tariff involves questions of fl
nance as well a. questions of taxation.

that the attention of the people should

with poor old bankrupt decrepit Spain
may be originated, or some other kind
of sky-rocket politics be brought upon
the stage. While an attempt is being
made 10 make the trust world wide. it
will not do to have the attention of
the nations concentrated upon them.
