An exchange received at lhs office yesterday was "disgusted" at the
 disclosure in the THE FAC course of the Booz in- SYSTEM vestigation that the
 flag system has been in operation at West Point. The flag" system, by the way. is the forcible employment by upper classmen of the clean their boots. keep their uniform and armament spotless, all without any other remuneration than punish ment when the work is not we'll done. Our exchange regards this ser vice as menial and Incompatible with the American spirit of independence whose motto, we may sa;'. Is "I don't have to-"
 The flag" system has bern em- ployed In the great English public schools for centuries and has been found so excellent that 1t will probably not be discarded for centuries to come. Under It ahr son of duke may be made to perform the most menial of- fees for the son of an English gentle man of the upper middle class, if the gentleman happens to be a higher form boy and stronger than the son of the duke. If not. the tables are turned and the future gentleman becomes the flag of the future duke. We believe this Is a very proper arrangement. It brings representatives of two widely separated cla5 ses of socie,y together on intimate terms and affords the young duke opportunity to l.arn to clean boots. empty slops, sweep. run errands and otherwise make himself useful It also puts him in the way of learning when he Is beaten for stupidity or stubborn. ness, that the heir to dukedom is not necessarily sacred bird. All of England's great warriors and states men who have gone through the public schools of Harrow, Eton or Rugby have undergone this kind of labor and humiliation. What was of greater value 10 them than to learn the art of pol ishing boots, rhey learned patience. obedience and to bear unavoidable mis fortunes uncomplainingly, It is thls patience taught to flags that has car. ried the arms of England into the rc. motest corners of the world and crowned her with diplomatic triumphs

 i've charter of Phoenix, and 1t Is intended only for Phoenix. though any other city or town may adopt t. Even Phoenix must choose between the new charter and the pres cnt one. Though the charter is com plete we have not yet seen a draft of 1t. but thr gentlemen who have been en- gagd in its preparation for several months say it has been constructed to cover not only all the defects of the present one. but that it embraces the best features of the charters of other cities which could be applied to Phoe- nix. The charter committee has surveyed the situation in the most practical and comprehensive manner. It has been their object to no; only provide good charter but to ascertain how much more money than the present one It will save for the city. They have made q very thorough investigation of the operation during the last two years of the one we are now working under and have ascertalned that its defects have cost Phoenix nearly $l0,o00 year. The new cha:ter is said to bt ironclad. While 1t does not restrict the city's power to make Improvements. but on the other hand eniarges 1t. it makea 1t impossible for any city officer or ser. want to improperly spend cent of the city's money without being brought to accountability.
 Responsibility for every possible of ficlal act is definitely fixed. There are no loopholes for jobbery or improper conversion of the clty's funds or prop erty.

YOUNGER HoBsON's HAZING.

Special and particular victims of the forms of hazing that prevail at West Point are those who bear distinguished names. There is Cadet Hobson. for in- stance. who Is a brother of the hero of the Merrlmac. He was called upon to read aloud to the upper classnen lengthy newspaper articles describing h!s brothers daring achievement, and at the cnd of each paragraph to pro clalm in sonorous tones that he had the honor of being the hero's brother. Then he was ironically applauded and politely requested to go out on the s;rcet and kiss all the lampposts. And the brother of his brother Is said to have gone through all this huggermug- gery without a murmur.

TiOneStd, Pa.

Dear Sir: Congressman Belden, ofSyr-
acuse, painted his Thousand-Island cot
tage in '92 with Devoe and painted it
again in '99, with the same, of course.
Takes so gallons.
"what does it last only seven years."
Depends on what you paint for. No one
can tell how long job of paint is going
to last in any particular case. The paint
may last ten years and the color five.
A.summer cottage is painted for color,
of course it is also painted to keep out
water, to keep it from rotting.
Seven years is good long time Tor
paint TO look fresh-depends on the color
though; Some colors last longer than
others. Three is too long for somo of the
prettiest colors. Nothing pays better, in
building house, than a good job oi
paint and nothing pays better, in keep
ing it up, than repainting as soon as the
paint shows signs of impairment. Bu
this is to keep it sound. For the looks
you may paint it whenever the freshness
is off. It's a matter of color; not Of paint

A Pair of Forth of July Accidents.

Two very bad accidents resulted from
the handling of dynamite tirecrackers on
the 4th of July in this borough, and both
in quite 81 nilar manner. Alex Swansan,
foreman of the machine DOM of the Man
tie factory was helping TO usher in the
ever glorious Fourth, and some big
crackers had been fired While lighting
one of the dangerous playthings, and
thinking that it had not yet caught, the
blasted thing "let 60" while he held ttin
his left hand. The result was that the
hand and his left eye were badly injured
He was taken to DR.. Bovard's office, and
with the assistance of DIR. Morrow the
proper repairs were made, leaving Alex
minus the second and third fingers at the
first joints, a badly lascerated thumb,
and severe injury TO his left eye. He is
recovering from his injuries, and in
few weeks will be able TO attend to busi-
ness again,
The second accident occurred in the
evening of the 4th, while everybody was
| having more or less fun with various
| kinds of fireworks. Joseph Chudaba,
turner at the Mantel works, was the vic
tim in this instance. Not understanding
the nature of the explosives he had gone
to store and purchased what he thought
we're koman candles. He lit one and was
holding it in his right hand, giving
it the usual shake which he had seen the
boys doing. He was told to drop or
throw it, but did not seem to understand.
An instant later he knew what had hap
pened. He was taken to DR.. Morrow's
office, and with the assistance of Drs.
Dunn and Bovard, the injury was put in
as good condition as possible. The first
or index finger of the right hand was
taken off at the second joint, the thumb
being saved but badly lascerated, as was
also the palm of the hand. He has been
doing all right since, and will be able to
resume work after few weeks lay-off
While both these accidents were bad
! ones. it is fortunate they did not result
, more seriously, as in either case the
crackers were CT sufficient strength tC
tear a human being TO pieces, the princi
pal explosive being nitro-glycerine. we
, apprehend this will end the sale of these
death dealing explosives in this place.

been said. I trust this will be good
lesson, both to the correspondent and

school mans to act in a lady like man,
