FLAG LAW.

Among the bills introduced IN the
House is one for the protection Of the
United States flag. 1t provides that the
national flag, or any representation
thereof, shall not be attached to or I'M
printed or represented upon any goods,
wares or merchandise or any advertise
ment Of the same"
The measure is directed against var
ious practices. regarded as gross abuses
Of the national emblem. Porkpackers,
for instance. Il is said are sending to
Germany hams wrapped in limitations Of
the Stars and Stripes. Pugllists engage
in their debaslng work under the sha-
dow Of the flag. Liquor sellers adorn
their advertisements with It, and politl-
clans bring It into contempt by using 1t
on campaign posters.
All these and numerous other alleged
abuses, II Is the intention of the bill
to correct. The friends OF the move
nient in favor Of protection for the flag,
evidently consider that there in this
country is, as q rule, too little genuine
reverence for the national emblem and
the institutions It represents, They aim
to throw around 1t consecrated circle,
not to be crossed by the profane. AZ

1t will not be denied that decency
should be kept in view in the manner Of
displaying the American flag. but laws
for the restriction Of the demands Of
a patriotic sentiment are difficult to
frame. and may easily become injurious
instead Of beneficial. II Is better to be

is a better safeguard for the sacredness
OF the flag than the laws that can be
drawn around 1t, like a fence around an
object Of popular curiosity.

ALWAYS TRICKY.

II Is common for the Tribune 10 avoid
a square issue, 20 evade straight ques-
ton and 10 misquote an opponent. Now
Il takes another and stlll meaner tack.
1t says Of the Deseret News:
But last evening in its special news
Il decided that Congress intended 10
violate the Constitution by excluding b.
H. Roberts
First, the Tribune attributes to the
Deseret News an alleged opinion con-
veyed from Washington in a special
dispatch, That Is to say, newspaper
is to be charged or credited, with the
views Of others that come by telegraph,
That would be a very unfortunate rule
for the paper that puts 1t forth. There
Is no need to expatlate on its folly and
It's dishonesty.
Second, the dispatch does not decide
anything, and II does not mention Con-
gress. II simply announces that "the
committee, which is without doubt
prejudice against Roberts will
not allow him the privilege Of
taking the oath OF Office" II
also expresses the Views OF members
Of all parties that this Is his right, and
therefore the policy pursued is with
out doubt a violation Of the Constltu-
ton"
Our contemporary falslfies the dis
patch, and then attributes to the News
its own distorted version Of what a
correspondent sends by telegraph
There is no need TO apply to the Trl-
bune its own expletlves. The public will
see the point without either argument
or retort.

THE MINISTER IN THE CASE.


The case Of Senator William A. Clark,
Of Montana, is Interesting because Of
the connection Of a clergyman, Rev. b.
Il. Warren, with It, as well as on ac-
count OF other circumstances.
This Mr., Warren was one Of two wit
nesses who were relied upon to make
case against the Senator, but now It
turns but that the gentleman has all
he can do 10 defend his own character.
Charges have been preferred against
him Of tlppllng immortality, and re-
tentlon Of funds collected for the
church. The gentleman. however,
scorns TO defend himself against so
vulgar charges. He prefers to enter a
general denial and to decline to stand
trial.
The other witness, It Is alleged, has
confessed to perjury. He declared that
his family at that particular time hap
pened to be starving. and that the
promise Of $500 was, on that account,
TOO tempting 10 resist. SO he gave false
testimony. Rev Warren has as far az
Is known made no confession as to per-
jury. He preferred TO resign the min
istry 10 submitting to the indignltles Of
trial
His course is a wise one. Undoubted-
~ he Is committed to the mighty agita-
ton for a pure American home. A
