POINTS ABOUT FLAGS.
The Two-starred Flag on the Govern
or's Island Tug.


or's Island Tug.
The president of the United States
has his very gorgeous flag; the sec
rotary of the navy and the assistant
secretary have their flags; admirals
have theirs, and so do commodores:
but it isn't known very widely, perhaps,
that generals of the army also have
flags, which are hoisted sometimes, says
the New York Sun. The other day the
Governors Island tug left the land
ing at the Battery with a little blue
flag on her center flagstaff; on the
blue field of the flag were two white
stars. The major general command
ing the department of the east was on
the tug, and the little blue flag sig
nailed the fact TO all who saw 1t anu
knew what it meant. To those who
didn't know what it meant, IL seemed
as if the flag was simply the remain"
of a full-sized American flag, che rest
Of which had been blown away during
its faithful service The flag gave
warning to the Governors Islanders
that the general was coming, and so let
them prepare to receive him as regula-
tions prescribe.

down, because not even the best OF

and the vessel suddenly has to fire d
salute, down comes the wash; because
a vessel with its wash up isn't in III
condition to do the polite. As soon
as the wash is hauled down, up goes
the jack, and the salute Is fired. Then
down comes the jack. and up goes the
wash again.

New Mexico Irrigation Case.

1t is Il cause of great satisfaction that
the district court at Silver City, New
Mexico, says a Colorado paper, has dis
solved the in junction to restrain the
cons uction of the reservoir dam at
Elephant Butte in thai territory. 1t is
dOub tful if the government will take
the matter up to the supreme court, for
there really was little ground for
applying for the njuuctiOn except
a desire to please the government of
Mexico.
The contention that the Rio Grande
in New Mexico is navigable was too
absurd to be seriously Insisted upon,
and 30 counsel for the government at
tempted to base his case upon the
proposition that the river is navigable
near the Gulf of Mexico, and that the
withdrawal of water for irrigation pur-
poses interfered with that use. If this
proposition should be maintained it
would raise very serious question
concerning the right OF tue people OF
Colorado to withdraw water from rivers
flowing into other states, provided at
some point below they are navlga bic.
In that case the right to malnta'n lrri-
cation works in Colorado would depend
entirely upon the sovereign coatrol of
the state Ovt + the waters OF streams
within it's limits.
Toe constitution of Colorado declares
thaf al the unappropriated water in
this state belongs TO the public, and
the constitution has been formally
accep ed by the federal government.
So that irrigation in Colorado might
be protect ted by this constitutional pro-
vision, but it would be rather a fi.ail
and slender reed upon which to lean.
with the federal government grasping
for more power.
1t is improbable that the higher
courts would take the position that

THE STATE OF FIR rankin.
An Almost Forgotten Chapter in the
Nat .OnaI Hist Dry.

When the American revolution
broke out, what is now the STATE of
Tennessee was an uuOrg an ed, sparsely
settled territory. In l116 its inhabi-
tants under the lead -rship of Captain
Sewer, petitioued the North Carolina
legislature to be annexed to that state,
in order to contri bule their share to-
ward national independence. As the
expenses of the war bore heavily on
the old North Sta e." her legislature
was only too glad to divide the burden.
The petition was granted, aud wnat Is
now Tennessee formed part of North
Carolina until the close of the revolu-
ton. As it had now b come source
of expense rather than help, the North
Carolina legislature in June, lSl4
