1t was on June IA, 1877, that
Congress enacted: THAT the
flag of the thirteen United States
be thirteen stripes, alternate red
and white that the Union be
thirteen stars, white in a blue field,
representing a new constellation"
On April 4, 1873, it was enacted:
THAT from and after the fourth
day of July next, the flag of the
United States be thirteen horizon
tai stripes, alternate red and white;
that the Union be twenty stars,
white in a blue feld, and that on
the admission of . new State into
the Union, one star be added to
the Union of the flag; and that
such addition take effect on the
fourth day of July next succeeding
such admission
On this June "a, 1898, because
OF the patriotism evinced, by the
effort of the United States Gov
eminent to suppress cruelty on the
Island of Cuba and extend liberty
to its oppressed inhabitants, more
American flags are tloatingthrough
out the country than on any pre-
vious day in our history. the an
niversary of the birth of the flag
occurs in the midst of the most
expensive and of the most upself-
ish struggle Tor others not Of its
ace in which any nation ever
engaged.
In an emergency never prophe-
sled or dreamed, a free peoples
war for humanity and the rights
of man, caused on May 1, 1893,
the starry ensign of the Republic,
with all it means, to, float over
fertile islands on the other side
of the globe. inhabited by eight
millions of oppressed, plundered
and misruled people. Thus sud-
denly the Stars and Stripes took
on new beauty for friendly eyes
and new terror for the foes of
liberty.
The sun of heaven now greets |
the stars of hope in liberty's ban
ner during every hour of every
revolution of the round earth. A
blow from the strong right hand of
this nation, designed to break the
grasp OF a cruel opprcssor in an
island just off our coast, has first
paraiyzed the same oppressor's
hand, will deprive her of her rich
est colony. and liberate millions of
her victims on the other side of
the world.
Every day is Flag Day Just
now, but the anniversary is never
theless worth recalling and cele-
brating by the display OF yet new
banners.

The editor is not prepared to bother

in fact. Never danced the "cheek

spent much time treadng the gay

THE TRAMP PROBLEM.

Among the truths told in jest is that
OF which the cartoonist and paragraph
writer OF the comic paper never tire
the tramp's hatred OF work. The tramp
does not marry he multiplies by absorp-
ton. One tendency of high civilization
Is ease; the tramp is one to whom all is
ease that is not work. 10 be frequently
cold, often hungry, always filthy, eter
naily homeless are un pleasant conditions,
even i'll the ethics OF tramp, but they
are gifts OF the gods when compared to
what he considers the curse OF labor
He that will not work, neither shall he
eat Is law OF nature put Ill a sentence
by the most famous Christian apostles.
fhe study OF the tramp is the evasion OF
the law.
1t were inhuman to kill the tramp, it
has been impossible to suppress him.
The Salvation Army has reclaimed many
a homeless wretch, and has changed
him into Il useful, and therefore honor
able, human; but not every homeless
wretch is IA tramp. That
Birds unhappy master, whom unmerciful dis
aster
Followed fast and followed faster,
never, unfortunately, has been other
wise than numerous person. The
tramp is not victim OF unfortunate cir
cunlsLances or OF malicious fate. He is
man who has chosen poverty and dirt
and hunger and homelessness "for the
fun OF the thing" He would not change
places with Astor, if he had to do Astor's
work. He cheats his way" and takes
as much pride i'll the successful circuin-
vention OF the conductor of freight
train as II mechanic takes in patenting
an invention that may bring him for
tune. 1t is too costly to eternally i'm
prison the tramp, and too cruel to slay
him. Moreover, the vagrant laws ordain
imprisonment for but brief term, and
as imprisonment rarely entails work the
tramp cares little about it.
Ii every vayrant, which means every
tramp, were IMPRISONED, and imprison-
ment for vagrancy involved labor that
is useful to society, the tramp problem
would soon settle itself. For If work
even tramp would prefer to work a. a
free man rather than prisoner. Sena-
tor Pavey OF New York has come to such
a conclusion as this, and asks for an ap-
preparation OF 800, 900 for the esta Dlsll-
ment OF farm colony OF vsgrants. to
which every person found wandering
without visible means OF support shall
be committed. This, were the law well
enforced, would clear New York If
tramps; for to rise at early dawn, to
work till dewey eve, even though well
fed and well clothed as reward OF labor
would not please the tramp. But the
clearance of New York would be the
fuller population OF all other states by
the tramping people, unless all other
states should take pattern after New
York. The first state that adopts and
enforces project like Senator Pavey's
will compel all other states to take the
only step that will crush trampism.

WASHINGTON, Oct 20.-While no time
has been set for the final adjournment
OF the Episcopal convention, the at
tendance is beginning to fall off and
deputies are leaving for home.
The question of marriage and divorce
has not yet ben decided in the house
of deputies and there are evidences that
the house of bishops, after having post
poned the subject indefinitely, may re-
consider this action.
The majority report against the crea-
ton of the Southern Indiana mission
airy diocese finally was adopted.
When consideration of the constitu-
ton was resumed, article 8, relating
to the establishment of missionary dis
trlcts. and article 2, relating to bish-
ops exercise of his offices outside his di-
Geese, were agreed to with amendments
made by the bishops
In the house of bishops what is known
as the Huntington amendment, looking
toward church unity, was adopted. The
amendment authorizes bishops to take
under their spiritual guidance congrega-
lions which accept the essential tenets
OF the church, although they do not
strictly observe the church ritual The
amendment was adopted with minor
changes as part of the canons instead
OF the constitution.
The canons also were amended in re-
curing one years time before ordina-
ton, instead of six months. The re-
vision of the constitution progressed by
the adoption of title and articles and
IL; also articles and 2, as amended by
the deputies.
A resolution defining Bishop Graves
territory III China passed.
In the house OF deputies proposition
by Mr.. Wilder of Minnesota for the
words Tin the name of God, amen,'' as
the preamble to the constitution, was
adopted.
Concurrence was given to the minor
amendments made by the bishops in the
so-called Huntington amendment, thus
giving final approval to this important
step toward church unity.
A resolution was introduced and re-
fer1ed for final adjournment CT the con-
vention on the Goth inst
In the house of bishops final action
was taken on the establishment of a

three, a national church for Brazil, in
