FLAGS AND THEIR USES.

There is somewhat of confusion as tc
legality and propriety of raising flags
both in reference to the flag of our own
country and those of foreign lands.
There is considerable lack of law in re.
gard to the use and abuse of the stars
and stripes, which is sought to be sup.
plemented on shore by the rules and
customs of ships. On board ship wheth-
er OF the merchant marine or the navy
are certain rules and customs which are
practically universal in all countries.
On merchant vessel the national flag
is only hoisted at the pleasure of its Off
GERS. 1t is customary at sea to hoist the
national colors when ships meet and if
close enough and polite enough the
colors are dipped" that is letru down
and then hoisted again. If, however, at
this time Spanish merchant vessel and
a United States merchant vessel should
happen to meet they might each show
their flags. but would not likely "dip"
them to each other. Incidentally how
ever, we might also explain that neither
of the two merchant ships would be al
lowed by the laws of nations to interfere
with each other in any way. Only ships
differed by the authority of the country
and commissioner have the right to
seize prizes or fight battles. In former
years, private ships were given authority
by governments, to arm and fight and
prey upon the commerce of the enemy.
but even then, without such authority,
they would have been deemed pirates, /"
and as such, subject to capture and pun
ishment BY any ship Of any nation. Now
while the principle of privateering is not
entirely given up, yet nearly all the larger
nations have practically given it up and
in the present war while Spain would
willingly commission privateers, the fear
of the objections of neutral nations de.
ters her from doing il
Merchant vessels beside their nation.

en- to the people of every country, it is
peculiarly appropriate to express by the
different national flags, the fact that the
flags of all nations are blended in the
Stars and Stripes, and in what it signifies.
Let no man be ashamed of the land of
his birth. He has right to be proud of
the flag under which he was born, but
when he expresses that love by the dis
play of those national colors, let him al
SO show by the Stars and Stripes that he is
now an American, and in that way say,
mot that love the old home the less, but
America the more"

TIE PETITION DROPPED.

An official announcement signed by
the Cavalier town committee appears
in last weeks Chronicle stating that the
circulation of the petition for the removal
of the county seat on the part of Cavalier
has been dropped for this time. We
will say that the committee exhibited
good, hard common-sense in testing
their strength in the doubtful territory
first, and basing their action on the de-
gree of success attained in the middle
row of townships and recognizing the
fact stated by the PIONEER EXPRESS
at the beginning, that unless Cavalier
could have the cooperation of the towns
on the Great Northern that it was a
numerical impossibility to get sufficient
votes to carry the election and very
difficult labor to get sufficient signers to
make legal petition.
Some of the difficulties found by the
Cavalier committee as stated officially,
and otherwise, are these:
First, the very large vote polled at
last election which we understand by
their own count approximated 8,S75,
necessitating petition Of about 2.6cO
names.
Second, the spirit Of retaliation, because
Of the splitting Of the Cavalier vote on
the blind asylum question short time
ago.
Third, the local ambition Of many
towns TO acquire the plumf for themselves
&C some future time. SIS

Fourth, local competition for the
trade of the intervening country.

fourth, local competition for the
trade OF the intervening country.
Fifth, the sworn statement of each
signer that he was a citizen and legal
voter. Many men who have been voting
right along for years, and in some cases
office holders, refused to take such a
test oath fearing they might get in trou-
BILE when the petition was scrutinized by
the opposition later.
Sixth, that Cavalier had tried twice
and failed and that they ought to stay
out and let some other town have a
chance.
Seventh, that the old court house was
good enough for the present and the ex-
pense of removal and rebuilding would
be more than an Offset to the convent
ence of a more central location.
The PIONEER EXPRESS is willing to ac-
knowledge its pleasure at the announce
ment of the Cavalier committees. We
are just selfish enough to admit that we
would like to keep the court house here;
and in doing this to remark that we are
in this case not one whit more selfish
than Cavalier people in their desire to
get it; for we believe and everybody else
believes that if Cavalier were situated as
far in the southwest as Pembina is in the
northeast, that she would, if possible,
still take the county seat if she could get
it and doubtless find some very plausible
argument for the change. Or, ifthe peo-
pie OF the two towns as now situated
could be transposed by some magic
power some night in their sleep, they
would find, when they woke up next
morning and viewed their new surround
ings, that the same magic had also re-
versed their opinions as to the proper
place for the court house.
Our Cavalier friends were wrong in
their argument as to their motives in ask
ing voters to change the county seat. 1t
was perfectly right and proper to argue
that central location was in itself (other
things considered) an advantage to the
voters, but it was wrong to state that as
the ruling motive of the action of the
Cavalier people, because every last one
OF them, if he happened to live in or
moved to Pembina, would keep it here as
long as he could.
Outside of this part of the little fight
that is now finished for the present, no.
body in Pembina has the slightest illfeel-
ing or irritation against anybody in Cava-
lier OH this issae. We don't blame them
for wanting it, and we don't want to be
blamed for wanting to keep it.
Apart from selfish reasons, the P1oN-
EER EXPRESS is pleased to have this
question eliminated from the political
issues of the coming election. Such a
question disturbs all political organiza-
ton and makes difficult and often false
position for the various candidates, and
while certain amount of the chagrin
and disappointment of defeated hopes
may possibly find some place in the Sec
ond legislative district, yet it cannot as
sumo the proportions that it would if it
were itself a live issue.
