charge on the German flag hoisted by
Karl klemme on the Fourth of July,
pleaded guilty in the police court yes
terday morning, and was fined siOO

the case. The charge for which West
was prosecuted was malicious mis-

he reiterated that Klemme had no
right TO hoist the German flag on the
Fourth. In addition to the fine Judge
Wilcox also administered a lecture TO

sugars, or the development Of Cuba s
resources.
There is reliable information that
the English capitalists have invested
large sums of money in Cuba. The
Americans who entered the island, on
the suspension of war, mistook the
conditions prevailing there. They be-
lieved that all the Cubans were re-
duced to poverty, and they made at
tempts to trade on that poverty. They
offered prices for land which were in
sufficient. Those who entered Cuba
first endeavored to get options on land
at low prices, and sell out to those
who came in after the treaty of peace
was signed. But the Cubans, who
were not entirely bankrupt refused to
part with their lands at utterly mad
equate prices.
In the meantime the English CAPT
talists, who seemed to have under
stood the political and economic stu
alton better than the Americans gen
orally, bought up many of the cigar
and cigarette factories, many of the
sugar plantations, and also several of
the important railways. The English
men, therefore, are reaping the advan-
tage of the American occupation of the
island. The rapid investment of Brit
ish capital is due to the belief that
Cuba will be annexed to the United
States, or, if not annexed, there will
be so little discrimination against her
sugar and fruits that large profits can
be made out of the cultivation of the
soil. The Englishmen have bought in
one place $4,000 acres of land and pro-
pose to erect factories for making SUI
gar.
While the Englishmen have been
forehanded in making investments in
the island, the Americans are not idle.
The richness of the soil, and the free
dom from frosts attract the Northern
immigrant. Florida has taught the
immigrants the dangers of the frost,
and the small returns from poor soil.
A large immigration from the Main
land to Cuba will create a strong SEN
timent in favor of reciprocity laws If
there should be no annexation. But
the reasons which will influence immi-
grants from the Mainland to favor an
nexation will also induce a large part
of the Cuban population to favor it,
provided they are not led astray by
ignorant leaders and engage in insur-
rectiOn.
Every movement made in Cuba has,
at present, more or less direct rela-
ton to our own interests. With us it
is not a political question, but an eco
nOmic one.

DESIGNATING THE FLAG.

Mr.. Charles kingsbury Miller, one
of the Sons of the American Revolu-
ton, recently delivered an address be-
fore the Illinois Sons of the American
Revolution upon the subject of the
Dissertation of the American Flag"
He presented a number of facts
which showed how the Flag was de-
graded by political parties, and by
merchants. The flag is used as a
floating signboard, bearing the names
OF candidates, and it is hung over the
street, in the front of saloons, in the
precincts of the Sums and from bust
ness mems clubs, while commercial
piratism has seized the flag and made
at a universal agent for advertising
their nostrums and wares, until the
1eperiZed faint of private gain seems
to have blighted the sentiment of pa
triOtic reverence"
Mr. Miller then cites a number of
cases in which there was a shocking
dissertation of the flag. Two opposing
political clubs in Wisconsin rotten
egged' the flag; in Indiana it was
trampled into the mud by political
partisans; in Missouri it was thrown
into a bonfire; in Chicago it was laid
on the floor in political meeting and
stained with tobacco juice One man
ufacturer sends out musical hand
kerchiefs, and he uttered these elo-
quent words in his advertisement:
''Why not combine profit with patriot
ism. These goods are the most soul
stirring reminder of the nations glory
and her dead yet devised" And it ap-
pears, according to Mr.. Miller, that
'the flag is degraded for commercial
gain in every State in the Union
Congressman Henderson, Of Iowa,
House, like our patriotic townsman,
Mr.. p. G. Jones, believes in putting
up the flag everywhere. He be-
lieves it educates, and the sight
OF it is at once a great moral
Lesson. So, when "a bill was in
dissertation of the flag, Mr.. Henderson,
as chairman of the Judiciary Commit
tee, opposed it, and said he "hoped
the American people would continue
to wrap hams in the flag, not to teach
patriotism, but to teach ham eaters to
eat American hams"
For twenty years Mr.. Miller and his
associates, many of them Sons of the
American Revolution, have urged Con-
gress to pass a law making the desc
Grafton of the flag a criminal Offense.
Congress listens and sits down on
them Even that grand old patriot
Senator Hoar, refused to vote for such
a measure.
If in "Freedom's home the Flag is
not protected, will it be protected
here? Is it worth while to decorate
the hilltops from Makapuu Point to
BARRIERS Point with flags until we
have a population which knows the
meaning and worth of it?
