HISTORY OF UNIQUE FLAG.
= Banner Presented to the House by
silk Association.


\ simple official act discharged last
week by an officer Of the House Of Rep
resentatives completes an interesting
chapter of Congressional history.
On January >. 1888, the Women's Silk
Culture Association OF the United States,
saying that il had demonstrated the feas-
ibiIity OF silk culture on an extensive
scale. offered to present TO the House of
Representatives q truly American Nation
al flag in the sense that the silk had been
raised IL American homes by American
women and children The House accept
ed the gift. and the standard remained
displayed for years, the terms Of the law
requiring that the number OF stars in the
flag should correspond with the TuTnber
. of States in the Union being ignored Last
year the officer of the House charged with
the duty replaced the standard showing
/ tbirty-eight States with one representing
( the present number, forty-five. Attention
was called to the affair in the news2a-
( p-Ts, and number Of suggestions were
/ made to the House IN reference to the
! proper disposition of the disUsed flag 1t
! had seen nearly eight Congresses come
/ anG 90. and three Presidential elections
/ had been declared under its folds
/ Among the suggestions was one to place
/ the old flag in Independence Han, PhiIa-
delDnia; another was to give 1t TO the Ma
tional Museum. and still another to give
/ It to some historical society for pTescrva-
/ ton Finally. Mr.. Fitzgerald OF Brook
{ Iyn, introduced q resolution in the last
/ session Of the Fifty-sixth Congress pre-
: senting the banner to the Long Island
{ Historica! Society. This was followed by
. resolutions introduced by Representative

1aittee on Accounts, OF which Mr.. Bull
was Chairman, took Up the subject and
reported his resolution The reason for
this, as stated in the report of the com
mittee, was that the flag should remain
in the possession Of the United States
and that, being made Of silk, an agricui-
turaI product. it should be placed in the
custody OF the Department Of Agriculture
The House accordingly adopted the com
