A bill has been introduced in con-
gress to erect department of educa-
ton and give the head of it a seat in
the presidents cabinet. Such depart
ment would be rather more ornamental
than useful, for the reason that the
educational work of the country is
largely under the control of the various
states, as it should be, and the federal
authority could only apply to education
in the territories, where it can be quite
as effectively directed through terri
torial administration. About all the
general government has to do with
public education, outside the terri
tories, is the collection of data and
statistics, and this is reasonably we'll
done by the bureau of education of the
department Of the interior.

National and State Floral Embiems.
There IS in some quarters q revival OF
the movement for the adoption Of ma
stional flower. Other nations have their
distinct emble ms-Fr France the flower
deluxe, England the rose, Scotland the
thistle, Ireland the shamrock, Switzer.
land the edelweiss-and why, lit is
urged, should not the United States
have such q charac teristic emblem? An
effort was made In 1896 by the national
floral congress, called together by the
governor of North Carolina, to agree
upon flower, but as many states were
represented nothing came of it, and
It is now suggested that another ma
honal convention should be called and
an effort made to reach consensus Of
opinion as to what should be our ma
ttonal flower. Nature has given US an
abundance from which to select, but it
is difficult to choose one which would
be distinctiyely national. g.. s.ss. 4
Fourteen states and territories have
designated flowers, as follows: New
York, the rose; Colorado, the column
bine;; Alabama, the goldenrod; Della
ware, the peach blossom; Idaho, the
syringa; Iowa, the wild rose; Kansas,
the sunaower; Maine, the, pine tassel;
Minnesota, the moccasin flower; Mon
tana, the bitterroot; Oklahoma, the
mistletoe; Utah. the sego lily; Vermont,
the red clover, and Rhode Island, the
violet. - ...--=:7 ~~-z- z--
Other states are following suit. At
a meeting Of the Arkansas Federation
Of Women's Clubs held at Little Rock
a few days ago resolution was passed
unanimously to adopt the passion flow
er. In his annual message to the legis-
lature Governor Atkinson of West Vir-
ginia has recommended the rhododen->
dron as the floral emblem Of that COM
monwealth. -"
While the selection of state and ma
tional flowers is not a matter of any
considerable Importance, there is about
it sentimental interest not to be dis
couraged.

The Australian Fcderation..

As had been predicted for several
months, the dawn Of the twentieth
century sees the birth of new ma
tion--the federated commonwealth Of
Australia, formed by the union Of the
six British colonies Of New South
Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South
Australia, Western Australia and Tas-
mania. The six former colonies be-
come states Of the new federation,
which might be properly termed the
United States of Australia. It IS sig
ntfcant that in organizing scheme
for. national government the Austria
lians followed the American rather
than the Canadian plan us to the au-5
tonomy Of the states and the repre-
sentation in national legislation. All
the members Of both houses Of the
federal parliament are to be elected,
the members Of the lower house on the
district plan followed in electing our
congressman, and the members Of the
senate, or upper house, by the voters
in each state on the plan followed in
electing our congressman at large. The
senate is constituted to represent the
states and the house to represent the
people, as in the United States.
The new nation is practically re-
public, paying only nominal sover-
eighty to Great Britain, the imperial
government being restricted to the ap-
pointment Of an executive, whose du-
ties in the main are perfunctory and
SO prescribed as not to interfere ma
terially with the independence Of the
commonwealth. Except in name it is
a sovereign state. ,-@s
If the British empire can welcome
what is practically republic in Aus
tralia, why does it so strenuously seek
to repress representative government
in South Africa? Why should the Eng
lish people hesitate to accord to the
latter system of government as lib
eral and as enlightened as to the for
mer? -

Duke Henry Of Mecklenburg-Sc hwer-
in, who is scheduled to marry Queen
Wilhelmina of Holland, is learning by
unpleasant experience the truth of the
old adage that 1the course of true
love never did run smooth" He is
angry at the way the Dutch states gen.
eral has treated him and is reported to
have left tue Netherlands in "high
dudgeon." The duke should curb his
bad temper. Suppose the thrifty
Dutch burghers don't give him as much
money as he thinks he ought to have
and refuse to confer upon him the title
of prince consort, he ought to be con-
tent that he is going to marry the
prettiest and most charming girl queen
in Christendom and who is apparently
much in love with him. Now, Henry,
don't go and spoil this pretty romance
and mar your good fortune by a fit of
sulks. Wilhelnina may conclude to-
exercise woman's prerogative and
change her mind, and no one would
blame her much if she did. In that
event there will be a hundred prince
lings ready to- take his place. But the
winsome young queen could even do
better by choosing bright, active,
young American sovereign, a consi "
able number of whom would no doubt
be willing to take her without cent.

Anew Conquest Of Mexico.5

Anew Conquest Of Mexico.

Improvement bonds ii Mexico to the
amount aof 800, OOO, 900, the money to.
be used in further Development Of rail-
ways, timber lands, mines and public
works.
For a score Of years American capt.
tai has found profitable investment In
Mexico, particularly in the line Of rail
road building and operation, which
have been very materially aided in the
development Of the great natural re-
sources Of our sister republic below the
Rio Grande and proved Of great bene-
fit not only to that country, but to our
own, aside from the handsome mar
gins realized by the investors. Out of
a total Of 1850 miles of railroad in
Mexico 5,617 miles have been built
mainly with American capital. The
opening of the Mexican Central
brought the United States and Mexico
into closer relations and promoted the
development of American trade. :
j. After the completion of the road to
the City of Mexico Americans seemed
to7lose interest. But in the meantime
branches Of the road We're built from
the City Of Mexico westward toward
the Pacific and eastward to Tampico
on the gulf. The latter branch is now
completed, and it is expected that the
westerly branch, extending from Qua
daiajara to the Pacific, will be finished
by the LIST of April When this is done,
the Mexican Central system, built with
American capital, will comprise more
than 1000 miles of trackage, and it is
reported that the net earnings of the
company were 100000 greater this
year than last year.
~ The proposition, therefore, to spend
many more millions in the further in
dustrial conquest of Mexico would
seem to be fully justified by past ex-
periences and future prospects More
over, it is the part of wisdom to en-
large our commercial relations with
Mexico. 1t is indeed more important
for us to dominate the markets on our
own continent than those in the more
distant parts of the world. While we
are developing our Asiatic and Euro
pean trade we cannot afford to over
look the not less important advantages
OF closer relations with all the republics
south of us. 1t is better for them, in
political as well as a commercial
sense, that such relations be firmly es-
tablished and maintained and Of high
est Importance to us that no American
market be surrendered to European
competitors. :

NOT GOING TO THE REUNION
Butte Veterans Of spanish-American
War Slow in Attending the Salt
Lake Meeting.

The annual reunion Of the Philippine
war veterans, which is to be held at
Salt Lake for tire days. beginning to-
morrow, Is drawing few delegates from
Butte. Some, however. are going from
Helena and Anaconda ana possibly other
points in the state.
The local camp of veterans Of the Span
ish-American war was organized to take
IN all the veterans of that war, whether
they went east or west. 1t is on some
what broader scale, not being limited to
the soldiers who went in either direc-
ton. The reunion at Salt Lake is of
those who Joined that one association.
There are the two national associations
in the field, and the Butte boys chose
to affiliate with the larger body.
The camp at Anaconda is connected
with the Philippine organization. The
boys earned the right to join either of
the associations; but especially here in
Butte, where there are soldiers who went
to Cuba as we'll as to the Philippines,
it was thought better to organize as a
Spanish American camp.
So far as learned, no one is expecting
to attend from this city.

TEST SLOT MACHINE LAW
Funds Are Being Raised to Defray Ex-

the Statute

A subscription is being taken up among
the ex-operators of nickel-i the slot ma
CHIMES in this city for the purpose Of.
testing the law relating to prohibition Of
the use of the machines in places of bus
mess. Several of those who are anxious
to make the test have subscribed $50 to
the fund, which is about half days re-
ceipts on one machine in the places con-
Quoted by the $50 contributors. Ofl
course in some of the other places the
receipts are not quite so great, but the
graft is pretty fair in even the smallest
store or saloon. A machine in any store
or saloon in Broadway, Park street, or
that part of Main between Granite and
Mercury that cannot cough up between
800 and 800 in nickels at the expirat ton
of twenty-four hours run is considered
of not much account.
On what case the test will be made is
not known. There is now a charge of
unlawful operation of the machines
against Mild & Kind, proprietors of the
California brewery, and also one against
Sugar Emo, owner Of the machines which
did duty in the California, and it may
be that the money now being collected
will be used in fighting these cases
through the district and supreme courts.

lair in the tenderloin, was brought be-
fore Judge Boyle this afternoon and
given what is technically called "a

from the city for other fields where
she is not so we'll known and may turn
over a new leaf and do better. She had
expressed a decided desire to visit the
rustic parts of Montana and see how the
hay pitching industry is progressing this
summer. The authorities Concluded that
it would be far better to let her take
an outing into the country indefinite
ly than to keep her cooped up in Jail
at the expense of the city, especially
when it was almost morally certain that
she would return to her accustomed
haunts and very soon get into stuble
again as soon as her term of durance
vile should expire.
Judge Boyle asked her If she would
depart if given an opportunity. and she
said she would. Whereupon his honor
suspended sentence Of 80 days in Jail
over her head with the instruction that
she go away before tomorrow evening.

To say that the trotting race today

pools as follows:
Adeling $25, Placer SIS, D. c. S. SO
and Chispa IS. AS usual they delayed
the game and it required some time to
start each break. The first heat went

Placer third. The time was 2:25h. In
the second heat d. G. S. finished first
with Placer second and Adding third.
The time was 2:21A.

and talent and books were guessing
Only the harness horsemen looked wise.
When they went to the post for the
third heat D. c. S. could be had in the
books at 2 to l, having gone up from

down from 2 to l. There was little or
