II Didn't Work That wax.

At the present day we cannor i'm
agine how a railway could exist with
out a telegraph line alongside, yet it
is fact that when the telegraph was
first introduced the railway opposed
it. When it was contemplated to
fdild a magnetic telegraph" be-
tween New York and Philadelphia,
permission was sought to erect poles
along the tracks of the New Jersey
railroad. This privilege, however,
was refused, on the plea that the
telegraph would be a financial rival
of the railroad, in so far as it would
enable people to transact business
without travelingI

and a Shaver, Now She Is an
Honest Mail Ship.

Few persons, even those who are in
the postal service, know that United
States mail is carried in the Oldest sail
ing vessel in the water to-day, and that
the vessel has been pirate ship and a
SLAYER. Its name is the Vigilant, and
it carries the mails from St. Croix to
St. Thomas in the West Indies. In
speed it compares favorably with many
steamboats, which carry the mails, and
it can distance anything that is pro-
PEELED by wind in any postal service.
TIE ship is of 40 tons burden, and is
rugged as fore and after, the same rig

THE NATIONAL EMBLEM.
More Than Two Years of Revolution
airy Warfare without n General
Iy Recognized Flag.

A national ensign was not adopted
till June, 1777. A glance at the pro-
miscuous banners under which the
different American forces campaigned
during the first two years of the rev.
olution viii be found of interest.
The first great regular battle of the
war was Bunker Hill. 1t is not likely
that there were any colors carried by
the few militiamen who were hastily
got together at Concord and Lexing-
ton two months before But after the
skirmishes at these places each of the
colonies set up its own flag. Unfor-
tunately descriptions of these flags
were not preserved, and the informa-
ton we have is very vague.
The most definite information as to
American flags we get is in foreign
journals at ports where American
ships at that time touched. There is
no satisfactory information as to the
standard used by the colonists at
Bunker Hill, fought on June II, 1775.
Indeed it has never been proved that
they had any standards, though one
writer says they were as various as
the troops were motley" There is a
picture of the battle in the rotunda of
the capitol at Washington, painted by
Trumbull, the celebrated American
artist of that day, in which the Amer
leans are pictured fighting under red
flag having a white canton bearing a
green pine tree. Warren is said to
have reminded his troops of the motto
on their standard, on one side of which
was, "Qui transtulit sustinet" (He who
brought us here will sustain us), and
on the other: IAN Appeal to Heaven"

Have Reason to Feel Sore

Kansas lawyers are grieved and in
dignant because some of the cattle
men are inclined to settle their dis
putes without resorting to the courts.
The disputants choose three men as
an arbitration committee, and the
committee decides each case. Not long
ago case involving 100000 was thus
settled in Eureka, and not a dollar
went to the lawyers. No wonder they
tear their hair as they finger their
empty pockets.

PASSING OF THE GREAT CHINA.
MAN.

The death of Ii Hung Chang took
place at Pekin at IL o'clock Thursday
morning. Ii Hung Chang is the only
man Of his race who has so impressed
himself upon the United States people
as to disassociate him from the COM
mon mass of Cinnamon. He was a
great man in his oriental way, and it
must be said of him that he was able
to meet the worlds great diplomats
and statesmen and maintain his own
side of a controversy with distinction.
China is SO large a country with such
a teeming population and with civil
lization SO diverse from our own or
western ideas that it required an ex-
traordinary Chinaman to make an i'm
preston upon Western thought or to
attract Western recognition. Ii Hung
Changes name is now indelibly inscrib-
ed on the rolls of fame in the worlds
pantheon.

THE CRUSHING OF CROKER.

1t is a shame that the great city of
New York can be made subject to the
power of one man who may govern
through a political organization, but it
is glorious to realize that the power of
Tammany can be broken through the
alliance of the better classes of vot-
ers. This has taken place at the pres
ent election, Croker, the Tammany
boss, returned to New York from Eu-
rope, confident that he could win an
other election and thus entrench him
declaim against imperialism or one
man power had bound themselves to
Croker and his corrupt Tammany or
ganization, but there were other DEM
ocrats who were more honest in their
opposition to imperialism who allied
themselves with the fusion forces and
on Tuesday, November 5, they aided to
put an end to the worst phase of i'm
perialism that has afflicted this coun-
try.
Croker, the former boss of New
York, was tyrannical insolent, AFRO
CANT and domineering. He had lived
long enough in England to acquire a
taste for it and had he won the vic.
tory last Tuesday he would have been
one of the worst specimens of vul.
gar aristocracy. 1t acquired SUI.
preme effort to defeat Tammany but
it was accomplished and the people OF
New York owe it to themselves as well
as to the country that never again
shall corrupt organization obtain
power in the great city. 1t is ques
ton far above mere partisan politics
