GOVERNMENT FLAG-MAKERs.
Uncle Sam. that revered old gentle
man, who always reminds US OF the flag.
whether we would have It so or not, is
very particular about the fiags that he
uses. Not every one knows that he
makes his own, and never buys any from
anybody else. over in Brooklyn, at the
navy.yard. there is a big building, in
which great many men. women. and
girls work the year round making the
nags for the army and navy, the flags TO
be used for the departments in Washing
ton, flags for all government buildings.
and for every other use which the gov
ernment sees fit 10 put them to. The
thirty-six-foot banner that flies at the
main gaff OF the cruiser Brooklyn, which
Is in English waters now TO pay Uncle
Sans respects 10 her Brittanic Majesty,
was made there. The flag that floats
over the White House from sunrise 10
sunset is a product OF the Brooklyn navy
yard. They are all beauties, for Uncle
Sans hired men and others make none
but the very best flags.
When we wake up on a Fourth-of-July
morning, those Of US who have passed
beyond the delightful time OF A. Nj.
and iirecrackers. we are often disposed
to make sundry and pointed remarks
about the noise that we hear. But when
we gather ourselves together and get to
the window and look out-when we see
on the nearest flagstaff the Stars and
Stripes. brilliant and beautiful as the de-
butante in the first flush of social sue
cess--we forget about the noise. We only
remember that we are citizens OF the
greatest republic the world ever knew
and we know that any disturbance we
may hear is in honor of that flag which
is floating above us. We are proud OF II.
And then, as the day grows apace ana
all that IL means is borne In upon US,
the words of genius come back to us, and
we say to ourselves that nature herself
shows TO us that the United States VIII

these have their day and pass from earth.

NEW IN FIREWORKS.
Genius has Produced Some Revela-

Correspondence OF the Dispatch)
NEW YORK, July 3.-The genius OF
Greek fire and pyrotechnics has outdone
himself this season. and a visit to the
places where fireworks are made, expert
mented with, and from whence the dis
tribution takes place that supplies people
everywhere, would speedily convince the
most sceptical that this is the year OF
most wonderful fireworks. The names OF
some OF the new ideas are as strange as
the fireworks themselves. There Is the
Devil among the tailors." AZ his
neighbor there is "Jack in the box" Then
we have "fery waggler rockets" true

STATE VERSUS NATION.
Kansas Official Ignores the Order
Of a Federal Judge,
WILL PROBABLY BE ARRESTED.

The state Administration Supports
Attorney General Boyle I'm His Open
Defiance ofFederal Authorities, and
the Case VIII BE Bitterly Contested.
Topeka, Kan, Aug. 10. - The long
threatened clash between the United
States courts and the authorities OF the
state Of Kansas came yesterday, when
Attorney General Boyle, acting upon
the advice and with the concurrence
Of the state administration, took action
in the state courts in open defiance OF
the federal authorities.
This action is the outcome Of an in
junction issued on July 20 last by Uni
ted States District Judge John A. Will
iams, of Arkansas, at Colorado Springs,
Colo, by which he positively enjoined
State Insurance Commissioner Webb
McNeal and Attorney General Boyle,
Of Kansas, from bringing any proceed
ing whatever under the state laws to
prevent the Mutual Life Insurance
company from doing business in Kan
sas.
Attorney General Boyle yesterday
went before the state supreme court,
bringing proceedings in quo warranto
against the Mutual Life Insurance com
pany to compel that corporation to ap-
pear before the state supreme court
and show by what authority it is
transacting business in the state Of
Kansas.
Attorney General Boyle, having done
practically what the injunction of
Judge Williams forbade him doing, the
presumption is that the federal Judge
will cause his arrest and Imprisonment
for contempt. In this event applica-
tion for a writ of habeas corpus will
be made at once to the United States
supreme court, and in such a proceed
ing the attorney general would have
the support of the entire state admin
istration. Governor Leedy has declared
that the issue has been made, and that
the matter must be fought to a ter
mination.
