Flags.

A stranger dropping upon us from
far country would conclude that we
were decked out for a weeks national
festivities and rejoicings, SO gay is our
land with many colored bunting
From north to south, from east to
west, 1t flutters upon the spring winds,
our own red, white and blue banner
mostly, with the flags of other nations
friendly to us intertwined here and
there. Close together upon the same
building in our large cities are seen
at one side the British union jack
draped with the United States flag,
while on the other side the stars and
stripes and the green flag of Erin with
its harp of gold wave out through
cloud and sunshine.
At the seat of the Canadian govern
ment, Ottawa, when recently the St.
Georges society held a banquet, one
of the most nota..e decorations in
their hall was the flags of Great
Britain and the United States inter-
twined and the most honored guest OF
the occasion was the United States
consul general at Ottawa, Colonel c.
Z. Turner. Even Irishmen, who have
cause enough, heaven knows, for a
grudge at Great Britain, are inclined
to cease gliding her for the present
because she is friendly to the United
States, which welcomes as our truest
citizens the sons of Erin and makes
them policemen to guard the peace OF
our large cities.
And ever in the midst of the sea oi
bunting that rolls over our land flashes
in and out mos. notable of all the
beautiful flag of free Cuba, with its
five blue and white stripes and its own
brilliant star upon the red ground,
emblem of the glory and the suffering
of the patriot island, its white purity
of purpose, its blue steadfast fidelity
to that purpose, its red the blood
the patriots have shed to win their
liberty.
For us of the United States. next
to the glory of being the nation to
make Cuba free, is the satisfaction OF
knowing that the flags of so many
other countries are intertwined with
ours in sincere friendship and good
will at this moment. 1t is the best
evidence that we are nation of peace
and that we wish we'll to all peoples
who love liberty.-Er.

Who Should Enlist.

Gov. Hastings, in addressing the
troops of the Pennsylvania National
Guard, told the men that if they were
so situated that they could do so they
should enlist, but s'if the accumula-
tions or savings of a mans industry
or thrift are to be swept away, if those
dependent upon him will suffer by his
enlistment, it is his patriotic duty to
remain at home and care for them,
and no citizen or soldier will dare
raise hand or voice against his loyalty
Or patriotism"

V. Interest your neighbors in Me
mortal Day, whether they be soldiers
or non-soldiers. Make a place for
organizations to be with you. Though
Post be numerically small it can
make its ceremonies and its services
on Memorial Day SO interesting that
men, women and children will want to
participate in paying homage to our
dead comrades.
vi. In localities where there is
more than one Post arrangements will
be made by them for division of the
work. This can best be accomplished
by the officers or committees.

to this on every occasion.

Spain.

A Scared old snarling lion with scraggy, tat
tered name.
His claws and teeth all broken, lies the
ancient realm of Spain /;
With the thirst for blood still on him, and
still with hungry nav,
He rends poor bleeding Cuba, PROSTATE there
beneath his paw.
He's fierce and famed man-eater, and from
early days of yore,
Has ravaged many an island, wasted many a
teeming shore,
And the victims number millions whom his
strength has overpowered.
Whom with ravening, bloody slaughter he
has mangled and devoured
But his roar grows faint and hollow, and a
hunter from the West,
Will snatch away fair Cuba, with her torn
and bleeding breast,
And send him bowling, limping, re,iled of
gods and men,
Back to growl midst bones and darkness in
his medieval den. A. H.
Washington, May ?, 1893.

Minister Stevens. AS representa-

appearance indicates, He appears
like one who had established gov

secure in his hands and which he
could decree to any one he might

TOPICS or The DAY.

Representative Achi asked the
Minister Of Finance why an order
had been issued to the different
postmasters prohibiting them from
cashing salary drafts OF officials un-
der the police and other depart
ments. In his answer the Minister
referred to an incident, where a cer-
tain high official had cashed his sal
ary draft, although knowing that
his salary was garnisheed, and it
had been very difficult to recover
the money, and great sonfusioa had
been caused through this incident,
Tho Minister, in justice to the Off
cials on tho other islands, ought to

Read the following extracts:

DR.. Chauncey NJ. Depew is a stu
dent of character. He is a reader
of faces and forms quickly his opin-
ion of men from their personal ap-
pearance. He can see through the
smut and oil OF the fireman or en-
gineer, the wiper or the can cleaner,
and determine at once whether the
man so hidden is worthy of trust
and confidence, whether he can be
relied upon at all times, He can
likewise look beyond the smooth,
unruffied surface of the diplomat,
the politician and the social lion OF
the day, and decide for himself with
out much hesitation the strength of
character OF the one who comes be-
fore him.
So, when DR.. Depew last week ac-
cepted the invitation of President
Mckinley to be his guest at the din
ner given to President Dole, of Ha-
waii, it was with the purpose in view
partly to study the man who is the
President of the Republic now
knocking at the doors Of the United
States Senate asking for adoption
and protection.
"What do | think OF President
Dole2" replied DIR. Depew this morn.
ing in answer to the question put
by the reporter for The Mail and
Express, IL met him at the dinner
given in his honor by the President
and | looked him over pretty close
ly. He is a big man with long
beard, but the beard does not de-
tract from his personal appearance
He is fine looking man. In fact
he looks just the sort of man to
carry through the kind OF revolu.
tion which he did, revolution
totally distinct in nature from the
revolution which gave to the United
States her freedom. He has every
confidence in himself, and what he
does, and thoroughly could carry
out the revolution Of the syndicate
which he represented.
"That revolution was not OF the
people who have been in Hawaii since
the islands were known, but it was
undertaken by him and his friends

Senator Morgan having Jailed in
annexing Hawaii now wants to fight
Spain.
1t is said that President Mckinley
proposes to intervene in the Cuban
conflict.
A Spanish squadron has sailed for
Cuba, but no American ship has, as
yet, been sent to Havana TO replace
the Maine.
The Chicago Chronicle claims
that the President has positive in
formation that the Maine was des-
troyed by foul play.
Secretary of the Navy John D.
Long asks for suspension Of public
opinion until some official informa-
tion is received, but the condition Of
affairs is undoubtedly critical.
President Mckinley and his Cabi-
net, it is said, believe that the disas-
ter to the U. S. S. Maine was caused
by an accident, and it is also said
that the President has stated to a
friend that if the catastrophe was
caused by treachery be would act at
once, and in a manner which would
meet with the approval OF every
loyal American citizen.
