There is no longer any doubt that
a general spread of grip is the cloud
OF the Christmastide. In New York
there are 100000 cases, and there is
nota business or a calling not affected.
In other eastern cities the reports in
clude large parts of the population,
and all through the towns and coun-
try the doctors are reported to be
working overtime, travelling day and
night to keep up with their work.
Here in Maryland the dread visitor
has arrived and there is misery in
many a head, weakness in many a
body. One does not care to move and
yet is miserable in staying still. The
epidemic of six years ago is viyidly
recalled.

ton ere the expiration of 1893. The
Artillery Board is constantly making
practical survey, so far as these relate
to the army, and the establishment OF

board, frequently urged upon the govern
ment by the chambers of commerce OF
our maritime cities, is receiving Il strong
reinforcement from this source. Mean
while there is n means of defence from
greater physical calamity which no one
afflicted with nervousness or dyspepsia
should neglect, and that is the use OF
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which by

of this celebrated medicine in disease

TO CELEBRATE THE BIRTHDAY

(Kinston Free Press.)

Mr.. Editor: The suggestion in The
News and Observer, some time ago, that
each county celebrate the birthday of
Thomas Jefferson, is a good one and
should meet with the hearty approval OF
all true Jeffersonians.
Jefferson was truly a man of the peo-
pie; he loved and trusted them and be
lieved in government of the people,
for the people and by the people. There
was never time in the history of our
country when there was greater ne
cessity for emphasizing the principles
enunciated by this great statesman than
now Let all who love and revere the
name of Thomas Jefferson come to-
gethpr and celebrate the natal day OF
the greatest statesman America has
produced. r. ]. DEMOCRAT.

ferred to President McKinleys inquiry,
Who will haul down the flag?" and re-
piled:
THE flag is a national emblem and is
obedient to the national will. 1t made
for the people, not the people for the flag.
When the American people want the nag
raised they raise It, when they want 1t
hauled down they haul it down. The flag
was RAISED upon Canadian soil during the
war of 1912. and it was hauled down when
peace was restored The flag was planted
upon Chapultepec during the war with Mex
leo, and it was hauled down when the war
was over. The morning. papers announce
that General Lee ordered the flag hauled
down in Cuba yesterday because It was
raised too soon. The flag will be raised in
Cuba again on the 1st of January, but the
President declares in his message that 1t
will be hauled down as soon as stable gov
the people the right to haul the flag down
in the Philippines if they so desire. when
stable government is established there?
Our flag stands for an indiSSoluble union
of indestructible States Every State is rep
resented by a star and every Territory sees
in the Constitution a star of hope that will
some day take its place in the constella-
ton. What is there in the flag to awaken
the zeal or reflect the aspirations OF vassal
colonies which are too good to be cast
away, but not good enough to be admitted
to the sisterhood of States.
Shall we keep the Philippines and amend
our flag? Shall we add a new star-the
blood star Mars-to indicate that We have
entered upon q career of conquest? Or shall
we borrow the yellow which, in 1896 was
the badge of gold and greed and paint Sat
and his rings to suggest carpet-baS
government with its schemes of spoliation?
Or shall We adorn our flag with a milky
stars, representing remote and insignificant
dependencies? No. a thousand times better
to haul down the stars and stripes and sub
stitute the flag of an Independent republic
than to surrender the doctrines that give
glory of Old Glory. 1t was the flag of our
flag of a reunited country to-day: let it be
the flag of our Nation in the years that are
to come. Its stripes of red tell of the blood
that was shed to purchase liberty; nS
stripes Of white proclaim the pure and
heaven-born purpose of a government which
the governed. The mission of that flag is to
float, not over conglomeration of common
wealths, but over the land of the free and
the home of the brave and to that mission
it must remain, forever true-forever

STANDARD OIL INQUIRY.
More Evidence Showing that Books
of the Company Were Burned.

CLEVELAND, o., Dec. 23.-Evidence was
secured from additional witnesses to-day to
show that books and papers belonging to
the Standard Oil Company had been de-
stroyed on Nov. 10 and q. The first wit
ness examined before Notary Mason to-day
was George Fields, who was claimed to
have sent employees of the company to the
general offices after the books that were
alleged to have been destroyed. Fields testi-
fed that he was an employe in the car shops
of the Standard Oil Company. He said he
was instructed by telephone to send two
men to the general offices He thought that
it was on Nov. 10. He sent William Moran
afternoon Gabilene and Schaaf went to help
them.
The next witness was William Moran,
car repairer. Moran said he was sent by
Fields to the general offices on Nov. 10
after the boxes of books and papers. Edward
O'Heam and McNierney went with him and
Harry Gabiene and Henry Schaaf came in
the afternoon. Moran said the boxes were
about three feet square and weighed about
two hundred pounds. The boxes were about
sixteen in number and were on the sixth
floor They took part of them down to the
first floor. but the hallway was narrow and
they carried them back to the second floor
and lowered them to the ground with block
and tackle through window. Moran said
that the boxes were loaded upon a wagon
and taken to storehouse on independence
street On the following Monday morning
the Broadway office telephoned to the car
were sent. On that morning they took some
boxes from the storehouse to the river pump
house He did not know whether they were
the same boxes that they got Saturday.
They took the boxes TO the furnaces, opened
them and burned the contents. Moran adj
mitted that he had talked with Attorney
Tolles, of the Standard. yesterday in regard
to the destruction of the books.
On cross-examination by Attorney Toles,
Moran said he knew that a lot of books and
papers We're burned year ago. but he did
not help burn them. The books were burned
Saturday in the shops and Monday
in the pumphouse Nobody said anything to
him about keeping the matter secret.
Several other witnesses appeared to-day,
but their dispositions were not taken. Con-
stable Mcmahon was sent to subpoena sew
eral bookkeepers and clerks employed at
the Euclid-avenue office. but came back
with the report that he had been unable to
find any of the men. An effort was also
made to-day to subpoena Secretary Squire.
OF the Standard Oil Company, and Frank
Rockefeller, but neither could be found. An
officer was equally unsuccessful in locating
Charles Kicks of the Standard Oil Office
The taking of dispositions was continued un-
til o'clock tomorrow morning

the District of Columbia in proportion to
population. These volunteers are to be mus
tered out of the service OF the United States
within two years from the date of the
passage of the act unless sooner terminated.
Their organization is to be the same as
that of the regular army.
Volunteer organizations in the service are
to be given preference as to re-enlistment.
All volunteers now in the service of the
United States are TO be mustered out within
sixty days from the passage of this act.
Tho substitute is not to operate TO discharge
any commissioned officer who was in the
army of the United States prior to the war
with Spain. The necessity for this body of
volunteer troops arises from the relations
which the United States government now
bears to Porto Rico, Cuba the Philippine
islands, the Hawaiian islands and the La
drone islands. Fifty thousand men are very
near the mark which the general of the
army said would be necessary in these
islands in his testimony before the commit
tee on military affairs.
Representative Hay of Virginia, who pre-
pared the minority report, estimates that
the regular army establishment provided for
in the minority substitute would entail an
annual expenditure of $30OO0,0C0, or about
81, 900 per man, and that the volunteer force
of 5000 men by the same calculation would
cost $50 900. 900, or a total during the exist
ence of the volunteer army of $50 900, 600.
The War Department is preparing official
estimates which will be ready in a few days.
