LAW BUILDING

an eleven-story structure, to be erected on
East Market street especially for lawyers,
real estate and insurance agents. This
stock is based upon first-class real estate,
which the history of cities shows is the
most valuable property to be had, paying

the city. Usually such property can only
be held by rich people, who receive all it's
advantages. hut under the cooperative

well. The location and character of this
building insures a large income, from which
greater dividends can be had than from any

4 Great Question Settled

The country will draw one long, hap
py breath of relief at the news that
the question of precedence at state
dinners has been finally settled. For
the last few years things have been
made more or less awkward in Admin
istration circles by the tact that neither
the President, the Vice President nor
anybody else was able TO convince Sir
Julian Pauncefote that his place was
not in front of the Vice President, and
the Secretary of State. and all other
American citizens except the President.
The idea was that the British Ambassa-
dor represented Queen Victoria in this
country, and must therefore be treated
just as her majesty would be if she
were here. Mr. Stevenson yielded to
this view so far that, while he may
have had his own private opinion as 10
where he belonged, he declined to as
sert his claim. Mr.. Olney did not be
lieve in that sort of thing. Whenever
he and the British Ambassador met
anywhere. and the President was lot
there. Mr.. Olney declared that he rep
resented the President and was entitled
to the same honors. So they compro-
missed When they met at the house
of an American Sir Julian Pauncefote
went first: when they 'uer ut the house
of a foreigner Mr.. Oiney went first.
Thus peace was preserved, aud the
friendly relations of the two countries
remained unim2alred
During this Administration things
have been different. Vice President
Hobart utterly declined to call on Sir
Julian Pauncerote before Sir Julian
Pauncefote called on him. The conse-
duence was that all through the spring
the British Ambassador regretted his
inability to accept various invitations
to houses where he knew Mr.. Hobart
was t. be- This state of regretfulness
seemed likely to continue through the
entire Administration, and when Presi-
dent Mckinley looked forward through
interminable vistas of dinners, recep-
tions. luncheons and other things, at
which the absence of the British Am
bassador would make a serious hole in
the pleasure of the guests, it made
him feel sad. After mature considera-
ton he made up his mind that there
would have to be a change. SO he
wrote a personal letter to Col. Hay,
asking that gentleman to call on the
proper British authority and find out
which was really entitled to prece-
dence in Washington, according to the
views of the British empire-the British
Ambassador or the American Vice Fres-
ident. Col. Hay promptly executed this
commission. and the other day some
thing happened. Sir Julian Paunce-
fote called on Mr. Hobart. Then Mr.
Hobart called on Sir Julian Panncefnte

pared with the magnificent standing
army which acts as a police force in
all Europe. One of the ideas which
popped into his head in the course OF
his stay Was that our cavalry officers
should be more sayly uniformed, and
he then evolved a scheme which. when
the cavalry officers heard it, made them
wonder if their pay was to be increas-
ed, their uniforms provided at the eX-
pense of the Government or if they

has more recently brought to light,
however. is simpler and less startling.
1t is that, inasmuch as all the soldiers
and sailors, too. CT other great nations
wear the insignia of their particular
monarch upon their uniforms. it would
be an exceedingly good plan to have the
emblem of cur Republic placed on the
uniforms Of our soldiers. He would
have the coat of arms of the United
States placed over the chevron of every
non-commissioned officer, and on the
collar or somewhere else in the uni
form of every officer The motto "E
Pluribus Unum" might also appear on
a scroll underneath.
People may laugh at symbols as
much as they like, and that sort Of
thing is certainly made a fetch by
some nations, but there is a mighty
power in them. fer all that There is a
primitive instinct in man that responds
at once and decidedly TO the language
of symbolism. Not one man in huns

attempt to explain, why the sight of
the Stars and Stripes makes lump
come in his throat, and gives him a
wholly unreasoning desire to swing his
hat and hurrah when he happens to
see it in foreign land but it does. In
some lands, however, symbols are piled
on symbols for ages and ages, until the
original meaning is forgotten. and the
nation, or the uniform. or the flag. or
the literature so decorated resembles
nothing SO much as an oId-fashioned
sarret in which old clothes have accu-
mulated until nobody remembers who
wore them or what they were for.
There is no sort of reason for causing
our army to vie with the armies of E.u-
rope in the pomp and splendor of its
clothes. But if Gen. Miles wishes to
add a little gentle decoration to the
plain blue of our gallant country's de-
lenders. there seems no objection to his
doing So
