ONE FLAG, ONE COUNTRY,

Some time ago the South rather over- did independence and even became too Independent to celebrate the Fourth of July. It is now, however in different and better frame of mind, and the Fourth this year will be glorious in the South, as in the North. It is the proud boast of Georgia people that the Fourth in that State Is going to be red hot. Governor Atkinson has issued a procla- nation calling on all citizens to observe the day with enthusiasm and rejoicing. In every part of the State, even in the very small and quiet villages, arrange ments looking to turbulent celebra- tion are in active preparation. All sorts of sports have been arranged
 decorations with the national colors will be in order, there will be reading
 of the Declaration of Independence, and exercises all over the State will end with sham battle.
 Similar preparations are going on in other southern States. One flag and
 one country now, sure enough. Lieu tenant Hobson of Alabama is all right
 and so is gallant old General Wheeler, of Alabama, who was seen the other
 day up Cuban tree sizing up the situ- l ation. Also do not omit in singing

to make good in case of emergency. An entrance fee of $5 is required, this to be deposited with the government to the members credit with interest. The fund so accumulated is to be held by the government as part security for it's en- dorsement of tlle bonds. No amount of the shares is necessary to be paid up. They simply stand as guarantee to the government, more in the sense of promissory note, that the member will pay the amount of the number of the shares subscribed, in the case of an emergency, something like premium notes given in cooperative insurance companies.
 This experiment is near enough to be watched with interest in this country.

Neither the common nor the court law of England recognized these dis functions, and marriages with subjects were by no means uncommon up to about century ago. Queen Mary IT. and Queen Anne were both the daugh- ters of the marriage between James II. and Anne Hyde daughter of Lord Chancellor Clarendon. George III, however, had German ideas, and re- scented some alliances of this kind. He got law passed, called the royal mar riage act, which declared that members of the royal family in the line of sue cession could not marry without the consent of the crown before they at tained the age of twenty-five. This law did not create a caste, it only inn posed condition. The difference be- tween it and the morganatic rule IS that under the latter a marriage be- tween royalty and a subject can nev- CT become binding against the royalty. The latter may be voluntarily bound as long as he or she may choose, but no longer; whereas marriage between a royalty and subject celebrated in England under the royal marriage act with the consent of the crown is as binding as a marriage celebrated law fully between subjects, and cannot be broken except by the High sourt for le- gal cause. Moreover the children of this union have full rights of success sion and inheritance to both their pa- rents.
 The marriages of Princess Louise, Princess Henry of Battenburg and the Duchess of Fife constitute exact exam pies of what in Germany would be styled a morganatic union. In Eng land, however, as they were celebrated with the consent of the queen, they are on the same footing as other marriages. A strong proof of this is to be found in the fact that the Duchess of Fife comes next to the Duke of York's family in the line of succession, and her daugh- ters come after her, In Germany her marriage would have cut the duchess
 and her children out of the line alto- gether The strongest case, however, is that of the Duke and Duchess of York. According to the German law, the Duke of Teck, being the son of morganatic marriage, could only marry the late Princess Mary Adelaide morganatical- ly. Their children were morganatically born, and when Princess May married the Duke of York 1t was merely a nor
 ganatic alliance. It may be added however, that not even the German efn- peror has ever ventured to treat the duchess as a rnorganatic wife.-Cas-

FAIR AND DEMoCRAT1C.

The story is told that pious sailor
 man prayed just before battle that if any of the enemy's shots were going to
 hurt anybody on his ship they might
 be distributed as prize money was, chiefly among the officers. This was pertinent prayer. Prize-mcney, glory
 and other rewards of successful naval work are chiefly distributed among the officers, Such distribution is sometimes, perhaps often, fair, for the officers
 usually do the planning and have the
 main responsibility. But sometimes it isn't fair.
 In the senate yesterday MT, Hale, of the Naval committee, reported favor ably resolution rendering the thanks of congress to Naval Constructor Hob- son, who, with his crew of seven men,
 sank the collier Merrimac across the entrance to the harbor of Santiago de Cuba, and providing for the transfer of
 Mir. Hobson from the Construction
 corps of the navy to the line. The res- olution was adopted,
 This was all right as far as it went.
 But it didn't go quite far enough to
 suit Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts, who said "All we do and all we have done for Naval Constructor Hobson, in rec- ognition of his distinguished bravery, is to extend to him, by name, the thanks of congress. But in this case, where deed of special heroism was performed, it seems to me that we 1 ought to recognize the men who vol | unteered to accompany him on his per- | ilous undertaking. All were undergo l ing the same risk, and the names of l the entire seven ought to be mention ed in the resolution. would be glad to see this chamber filled with such he-
 roes as those men are.' This human I presentation of the case struck other I honorable senators favorably, and the
 resolution was finally so amended as to include the names of the crew who
 accompanied Lieutenant Hobson and was then adopted.
 1 This is fair and democratic. It is
 also eminently proper. We hope the
 names Of the men were spelled right
 in the resolution.

FASHION NOTES.
A Clash of Authorities.

The doctors seem to be far from be- ing of one mind this summer. What follows shows the opinion of one ex- pert dressmaker, whose clients and charges warrant her in styling herself modiste if anyone deserves that sort of distinction. She was overseeing the packing for shipment of a lot of fine new summer gowns.
 Last season was one of high colors," she said, as she gently patted down her handiwork, 'and last seasons dresses are therefore not badly worn, so Mademoiselle will have change or so from her last years outfit should she

wish to appear in color, though that is not likely. It is decided this season that an apparent, if not an actual, sim plicity Is the best characteristic of the summer wardrobe. The war, you know, so many sweet hearts away and inci- dentally so many incomes cut down that decent show of being ''cut down. seems necessary for all. Now, in what except white can an effect of simplicity be secured successfully through a whole
 warrobe. Mademoiselle here has a
 white serge yachting suit, white broadcloth tailor gown, a white taffeta afternoon silk, a white satin ball gown, elaborated with lace, silver net, flow CTS, ribbons and buckles, but still white, therefore simple, pair of white
 gauge garden dresses, and dotted muslin or so. A pair of duck dresses
 of the sailor order completes this lot. Her shirt waists are tailored and her
 midsummer gauge gowns will go later. All spring she dressed in the brightest
 colors but all that is now over"
 After such discourse, what is the fashions investigator to think when
 another maker, of as high standing as the first, puts forward this pictured
 dress as an example of her best and
 of what is to be the most stylish for
 summer silks? All the white there was to it was in the embroidered batiste

MUTUAL CREDIT ASSOCIATIONS.

-M CIUAL ChEDII ASSOCIAIIONSs
 The law providing for mutual credit associations among farmers is now in operation in British Columbia. The plan adopted Is similar to that in vogue in Europe, particularly in the matter of state guarantee of association bonds and in the safeguarding of the associa- tions through committees of their own, through reports to the government and through the supervision of govern ment auditor. The aid to be granted is real estate, not to it's purchase. Funds for leaning are to be obtained by the issue by the association of debenture bonds, bearing to 51s per cent inter est, principal and interest guaranteed by the government, which bonds are to be sold to the highest bidder Interest on loans to members is not to exceed per cent, and the security to be consid- cred is not only assets, real and per- Sonal but also the industry and the personal worth of the borrower, thus making his general character and standing in the community part of his general credit. Loans may be repaid in installments, the money so received to be deposited with the government on account of bonds that may be coming due. The number of members in these agricultural credit associations is to be unlimited, but no one member may hold more than 150 shares, the par value of each being S10, and members holding to be propertionate to his known ability

HEROISM IN COAL MINING.
The Hardy Worker Away Down Una.

Constant Peril.

Every miner IL @ hero, for his life Is
hourly beset by peril. The world is
now ringing with praise of the feat
performed by the crew of the Merri-
mae in the Santiago channel. and had
lieut.. Hobson lost his life in that dar-
ing act, a monument would have been
erected to his memory, and his grave
kept green by an admiring people.
Him, we are proud of, and rightly, too;
but he was fired by the enthusiasm Of
war, while there are hundreds of coal
miners In the Kanawha valley whose
daily avocatlon leads them into posi-
tions equally as dangerous, and to
them we only offer contemplate one
feat is performed for the pride of a
nation. while the other is contributed
to its necessity; the one peril is only
momentary, while the other Is CON

life in his hand, and each morning as

mains of her once kind better half may
be conveyed a bleeding mass to her

The coal miner Is the most CHART
