Who gave you the name of Old Glory, and
Are we thrilled at the name of Old Glory?
Then the old banner leaped. like sail
In the blast,
And fluttered an audible answer ~ last
AUD it spakc. with shake of the voice,
and II said:-
OF my bars, and their heaven of stars
overhead
As 1 fIoat from the steeple or flap at the
or droop DER the sod where the long
grasses nod
My name IS as old as the glory Of God.
So came by the name of Old Glory.

MI,repre,;nting Hawaii.

A Democratic organ published NOT
many miles away from the corner Of
Alley Q and Market street, Wheeling, re-
'iterates a long since exploded argument
when 1t publishes the following:
Many persons oppose giving Hawaii
the Droposed territorial form of govern
nent lest the islands eventually acquire
statehood. These, however, are likely
to be voted down easily and then we will
have hanging over our future the fear
that one day partisan administration
may admit the Islands as a state, IN
which event the vote OF these distant
half savage possessions out In the mid
die Of the Pacific may be in position 10
influence the result of presidential
election. Such rotten borough would
be a menace to popular government. Yet
the people Of Hawaii are enllgntensa
and refined compared to those OF the
Philippines.
A previous comment OF this organ on
the same subject assumed that, as a ter
ritory, the Hawaiian islands would have
a representative in Congress whose vote
might hold the 'balance of power. and
that It's presidential electors might de-
eide a presidential election" The Intel
llEencer took pleasure in reminding its
friend that territories had no such voice
in the government affaIrs. Now the
statement is auallfeG with an admission
that Hawaii can only have such an In
fiuence when 1t IS admitted as a state.
Another qualification may be necessary
when the aforesaid friend reads the pro-
visions for a government of Hawaii
framed by the commission appointed for
that purpose.
Hawaii can never be state Of this
Union until the provisions of the con-
stitution and the laws are complied
with. for It will not otherwise be eligible.
The conditions complained OF by our
neighbor, though It exaggerates them
will not then exist.
There are and have been other terri
tories in this Union which have mad to
undergo just what Hawaii must expert
ence before they could become states.
All we're peopled principally with In
dams, either in a savage or semi-savage
gate. Now all but two OF them are
great and prosperous and enlightened
states, having passed through the stages
required.
The plan proposed for the territorial
government of Hawaii is even more
stringent in It's provisions than that pur-
sued in the cases of other territories
within the limits of the United States
proper, although Hawaii has greater
percentage of enlightened people at its
birth than they had. To vote for the
members Of the territorial house of dele
gates citizens are required to have GER
tain educational qualifications and to-
have maid their taxes, and for menu
bers of the territorial senate even more
strict lave are provided looking TO the
intelligence and general qualifications of
voters The executive officers from the
governor down, are appointed by the
President just as they are in all our ter
rltorles.
Considering all these conditions, our
nelghbor Is unnecessarily alarmed over
the prospects OF poor little Hawaii prov
ing n burden to this great and grand and
glorious republic which has taken her
under its wing. It is poor cause that
sets up bugaboos so easily knocked out,

Glade has some OF the curious things
that We read OF. Your correspondent
a few days ago saw lamb on the farm
of Mr.. h. P. Phillips that had flve legs
and six feet. Four legs are natural, the
fifth about six inches back from the
fore legs on the right swings clear OF
the ground and has two sets OF hoofs.-

The story OF q wonderful freak Of ma
tuA in the pumpkin line comes from
Washington Bottom. A few days ago
Mrs. A. T. McMurray took q notion to
manufacture a few pumpkin pies for
the benefit OF the pie lovers IN her fam
fly, and, taking large yellow boy from
among the golden heap in the barn, cut
It In twain and lifted the top on, only
to find. that though the pumpkin had
been perfectly sound. every seed mad
taken root In the bottom OF the shell
and sprouted, sending forth little shoots
three or four inches In length, each one
having few fresh green leaves at
tached.-Webster Echo.
G. w, Cook, of Headsville, stated that
James Carskadon, of the same place,
told him he kept account Of all the stun
sold from his farm In the last six years.
and the last two years sales exceeded
the four years previous by 500. what

the same in a like number Of districts.

Charleston papers are calling upon
