The Origin of the Cuban FLAG.
Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.

A reader of THE Commercial Gazet
te" asks the origin and meaning of the
Cuban flag. OPPORTUNITY at this time
comes an interesting story concerning
1t from DR.. John Gulteras, of the Uni.
versity of Pennsylvania, who is bette r
known as scientist and physician
tnan as representative of the CUBAN
Junta. DR.. Gulteras's story is interest
ing and fascinating. 1t dates back to
tee days of, romance and ad-
venture, when General Nsrciso Lopez.
at one time officer in the Spanish Army,
afterward revOlutiOnist and filibus,er,
first champiOned the cause of Cuba
Libre. Though born in Venezuela,
Lopez loved his adopted people. See
ing The oppression and misery under
which they grtaned, he resigned his
commission In the ranks of Spain and
came to the United Suites. Here be
secretly organized an expedition with
which to conquer the Pearl of the An
titles and free it from the heavy yoke
Of the mother country.
The flag said DR.. Guiteras, twas
designed by General Lopez IN 1851,
when for the second time, he invaded
Cuba, 1t was first raised at Gard enas
in the same year. The five stripes
which Cuba was then divided. The
cOlors of the American flag and the
lone star were accepted because this
movement of General Lopez had some
te ndency to annexation. Texas, FORM
erly the Lone Star state, had had her
mbition Rratifed. she hid been sd-
United to the Union six years before.
The Cuban flag indicated the Generals
wish that this lone star, new risen.
should soon also be placed among the
OF hers in the glorious emblem of the
United States. When General Lopez
WAS asked why be placed the star on
red field instead of q blue he said: L
want to be rebel in every thing, even
against beraldry.' The oriQinai de-
signs and the first Cuban flag ever
made are at present in the DO session /
Of Narciso A. Villaverde, q Cuban pat
riot. OF New York city.
''You may also say" said DR.. Quit |
erss, that there is some question as to |
the shade of the blue of the Cuban flag.
The Cubans SCENE to prefer q light |
blue, but L have always maintained |
hat the colors should be those of the |
Am erican flag"
So the story OF the flag of Cuba Libre
s the story of the beginning of her
struggle against oppression. Forty
eight years ago it seemed as though |
he efforts of Gen. Lopez had been in !
'ain. His expedition failed. A year
,r SO after he raised the lone star over
he captured!citadelo of Csrdenas He
vas taken prisoner by the Spaniards,
'arried to Havana and garroted.

River of Death.



The Yellow river, which has been
named the sorrow of China" is prob
ably the most destructive stream on
the face OF the earth. In less than 100
years IL has changed its channel four
times, and the point where it empties
into the sea has from time to time been
moved uD and down the coast dis
lance OF 300 miles. 1t runs through a
vast alluvial plain, and is fed by
streams from great system OF noun
talus IL the north. When the snow
melting on this range comes at time
OF heavy rains, the result is sure to be
a TERRIFIC flood. 1t has been estima ted
that in the past three centuries over
10 600, 900 human beings have persisted
10 the Hoods of the Yellow river. For
destrctiveuess, both OF life and proper
tv, this stresm is unparalleled, and the
sobr'quet bestowed upon it is amply
justified by is his ory.

The Philadelphia Press is cyl
IDENTIFY well posted on politics as
1t is practised by West Virginia
Penn ocrats. 1t says:
''The situation in the West Vir-
glnia Legislature, judging from
precedent, is not pleasant one.
The Republicans control the senate
and have a majority on joint bal
lot. But the democrats control
the house, and in similar situation
in the past the democrats unseated
enough republicans to reverse the
control on joint ballot. AS the
membership of the senate is small
compared with the house, the Re-
publicans would be at a disadyan-
age even if they attempted to re-
peat the democratic tactics In the
house. But the United States
Senate will be Republican and
will have something to say about
seating any man sent there by such
means as the democrats pursued
when they stole the Governorship
of West Virginia from Judge
Golf"
As the State Journal says the
conditions are different now from
what they were several years age
and 10 "twe" Senator sent there
by democratic tactics will be
seated. The next Senatorship will
not be stolen from the Republican
party, no matter how strong the
effort and desperate the means put
forward by the Democrats to &C.
complish their purpose.

Senators. Represen,

This estimate counts in the three hold
UNCOVER senators and supposes that in
rural New Castle, Kent and Sussex
counties each party will elect two out Of
the four senators to be elected, while
the Republicans are sure Of one in Will
mington.
The Democrats practically admit that
according to their best estimates the
House can only be made Democratic by
one majority. In this city there is a
determined opposition to John ?. Dona-
hoe for representative, and Republican
will be elected from the Fourth district
instead of Donahoe There is also a
strong possibility and really probability
that James Kitchen will defeat Thomas
F. Gormley. Even if the rest of the
Democratic estimate should be right, and
there is every reason to believe that it is
not, the Republicans are reasonably sure
Of the next House of Representatives.
There is also strong probability that
she Republicans will carry the doubtful
senatorial districts in each county, and
there are several which are doubtful.
This being the case some of the Demo-
Gratis who are familiar with the political
situation figure it out thus:
