New Ensign to Float for the First
Time on the EOurth

WASHINGTON, July 3.-For the first time
tomorrow the flag of the United States will
be floated with forty-ive stars on its blue
field, Indicating the admission of Utah TO the
sisterhood of states. General orders issued
by the War and Navy department have pre-
pared the way for the change, and for sew
oral months past the flag-makors have been
busy in placing a new star on the flags in
stock. From economical reasons the old
army flags will not be retired at once, but
will be replaced as they are worn out in
service by the new e~nsigns. In the case of
the naval flags the change was more easily
made, for all of these flags are made at the
New York and Mare Island navy yards,
while those on hand on shipboard may be
readily altered by the expert sailmakers.

DUTY OF SOUND MONEY DEMOCRATS.
One of the ablest democratic papers in
the country, the Philadelphia Record. is
of the opinion that sound money demo-
Gratis should not remain in the Chicago
convention after the adoption of n free
silver platform. Referring to the fact
that some doubt still exists among the
silveriteS as TO the propriety of abolish
ing the twO-thirdS rule in the matter of
nominating Il candidate for the preSi-
dency, that paper says that for all prac-
teal purposes it will not max the least
difference whether the rule is abolished
by the Silverites or not. "The adoption
Of Il platform declaring for free coinage
at 10 to / and for arTeSting gold pay
ments of the obligations of the govern
ment would be the signal for the sound
money democrats to withdraw from the
convention" IL y the Record and thus
relieved the silverites would have no
difficulty in nominating Bland or BoieS
or some other man of their choice under
the two-thirds rule.
The Record can see nothing to be ac-
complished by the sound money men
lingering in the silverite convention
after the reputation of their dearest
principles. 1t observes that they could
not commit to II free silver platform and
candidate tie democratic constituent
cies whom they represent, nor could
they hope by remaining to secure the
nomination of any sound money demo
crat for the presidency on Il free silver
platform. "Supposing it could be con-
ceivable," continues the Record, that
the silveriteS, after erecting n platform
lof reputation, should consent by way of
Whitney of New York, Ex-Governor Rus
sell of Massachusetts, or some other
sound money democrat, not one of them
would be found so wanting in self
respect rs to accept such II nomination.
Such n compromise, If it could be made
country" In conclusion his organ of
the democracy of Pennsylvania, whose
proprietor and editor was the candidate
of the party for governor last year, says,
by lingering in the Chicago convention
after the adoption of u free silver plat,
form the sound money delegates would
be merely helpless witnesses of the hu.
initiation Of the democratic party and of
the overthrow of its principles. Worse
than that, by their presence ANA PARTED
patton they would give their consent
in the name OF the democratic party, to
an Infamous act of reputation ant
dishOnor. Every consideration of Pc
Iitical decency and public interest woulC
demand, therefore, that the Sount
money delegates TO the Chicago con
@vcntion should withdraw after the
adoption of Il platform of free silver
and reputation
This straightforward expression of 4
leading democratic journal, whose fidPl
ity tn the party is unqueStionable, can
not fail to exert great influence upOi
those to whom it is addressed. There
are delegates To the Chicago convention
chosen rs sound money men, who prob
ably will not heed such counsel. The,

This is the day that appeals most
strongly 10 American patriotism and
stirs the heart Of every true citizen OF
the republic with pride Of country and
n feeling of enthusiastic love for free
institutions. II is an occasion of opti-
mistic outlook for the millions. what
ever it ma suggest to the few who are
over sighting signals OF danger and APP
pretending sources of trouble. 1t Is the
day on which the masses of the people
can assert faith In themselves ana man
fest their satisfaction with the form Of
government under which they live. The
Fourth of July Is an inspiration to every
sentiment and impulse of freedom and
it's influence Is not confined to America.
Wherever i'm the civilized world citizens
of the United States reside or sojourn
this day will be lionorcd by them ana
the people of other lands will have pre-
scented to them something of the history
of that great event of 10 years ago,
when the illustriOus founders of this
republic pledged their lives. their for
tunes and their sacred honor in defense
of the principles asserted in the Dcclnra-
ton of Independence.
In the celebration of this anniversary
of one of the greatest events in human
History the largest liberty is permissible.
The expression of popular affection for
the day can hardly be too noisily eNuber-
ant or too boistcrously enthusiastic. Let
the spirit of patriotism be given ull play
and especially let American youth real
ize that independence day really means
freedom. But the occasion invites some
sober and earnest reflection. Is there
no danger of a departure from the prin-
ciplcS and teachings Of the illuStrious
men who established the free institutions
we enjoy? The founders of the republic
were men of the highest integrity as
well as the ~lofticSt patriotism. The
government they constructed was de-
signed to be an example to the world of
justice, of honesty and of high purpose
in the cause Of civilization. 1t was to
demonstrate that popular self-gov-
crnmcnt is not Incompatible With
national honor and good faith.
Today a great political organic
alton. claiming as its founder the author
of the declaration that proclaimed
liberty to the American people, is seek
ing to institute Il policy whose essential
purpose is reputation of honest obliga-
tons. Thus it appears that the exam
pie ana prcccpt of che fathers" are not
universally respected at his time and
that there is danger of a departure, in at
least one vital respect, from their prin-
ciples.
But let us not lose faith in the wis
dom. the patriotism and the integrity of
the American people, which have proved
| sufficient under seyerer tests than now
confront them. Our free institutions
are secure in the love of the people. No
| peril threatens the union of the states.
The flag is honored in every foot of our
| territory. SO long as we honor the
achievements, reverence the memory and
adhere to the principles Of the founders
of the republic his nation will grow in
material strength and moral power.

The most that could be said is that there

The Republican Party's Birthday.

The suggestion of the Union Republican
Club of Washington, ID. c., that there be a
celebration this year of the fortieth anniver-
sary of the birth of the Republican party
ought to meet with general favor among Re-
publicans. If there is to be any general OBJ
servance of the day it ought to be held on
February % On that day Of that month, in
1886, took place the first national gathering
OF Republicans which ever met. 1t assem-
bed in Pittsburg, in obedience to a call Of
the Chairmen of the Republican State Com
mttees of Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts,
New York, Pennsylvania Ohio, Michigan,
Indiana and Wisconsin. AS is true, of course,
of all political parties, the Republican party
had State before it had national organiza-
ton. The Pittsburg gathering, which was
attended by representatives of the party
from twenty-four States, framed a national
organization for the party, and the National
Committee then chosen called the Philadel-
phia Convention of June II. 1856, which
made John G. Fremont the party g standard
bearer for President [St. Louis Globe Dem
