INSULTED TIE FLAG.
Socialists Threatened Life of Gov
ernOr Hunt.

Socialists Threatened Life of Gov
ernOr Hunt.
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Sept. 10
Eduardo Condo and Leonidas Guillot,
two socialists who spoke in a recent
meeting of the American Federation Of
Labor, were put on trial for insulting
the American flag and threatening the
life of Governor Hunt. Their speeches
teemed with abuse of the government.
One of the prisoners was accused of
advising the workmen upon the return
of Governor Hunt from the United
States to parade carrying black flags
and then to make demands upon the
government. If these demands were
refused, the speaker added. the alterna-
tive of killing Governor Hunt re-
manned. The other orator was said to
have declared that the American flag
was a rag fit only to we rascals and
criminals. The accused vehemently de-
MED the charges.
They were tried before Justice Kopei,
convicted of anarchistic conduct and
sentenced to six months in prison.
Justice Kopel says the flag is higher
than the law and anarchists need eve
expect mercy In his court. The case
has established a precedent as a Porto
Rican official warming that attacks on
the flag and government must stop.
The Americans and loyal Porto Ricans
are jubilant, while the socialists are an
CRY at the decision. The convicted men
will appeal from the judgment, claim
ing that Justice Kopel had no jurlsdio-
ton. as there is no law covering the Of
Tense. The interest in The case is in
tense.

GEN. MILES GOT AN ENDORSEMENT.


There were no bouquets thrown to
Gen. Miles by the War Department, in
the shape of references to his record
as a soldier. on the occasion of his re-
tirement few days ago. 1t was well
understood of course that the omis-
sion was in accordance with the wishes
of the President, the latter being sat
isfied that Gen. Miles was hostile to
his administration and had done what
he could to bring it into disrepute.
1t seems, however. that the Grand
Army of the Republic do not sympa-
thize with the President in the course
he pursued in regard to Gen. Miles,
and so, at their grand encampment at
San Francisco, they took occasion to
say all the nice things of the general
his record would permit.
Was the resolution the Grand Army
adopted complimentary to Gen.
Miles intended to be a criticism of
the Presidents treatment of the gem
eral on the occasion of the latter's re-
tirement from the army? If so, what
effect will it have in the presidential
campaign? VIII it influence Grand
Army men to cast their votes and use
their influence against Mr.. Roosevelt,
assuming that he will be the Republi-
can candidate for President?
No doubt the Grand Army have
good deal of influence at elections.
The number of votes they cast is
Ia nj IN, ho TO fne In,
portant. 1t may be that if the Presi-
dent had thought Gen. Miles would APP
peal to the Grand Army for an in
dorsement of his military career he
would have been less brief and abrupt
in notifying him that the time had ar
rived for his retirement from the mil
itary service. He did not look ahead.
He simply consulted his feelings in the
matter. Perhaps he thought that Gen.
Miles had no political influence, and
that politically he was a dead duck"
1t really looks as If Gen. Miles might
yet cut good deal of a figure in pol
itics. He is not feeble man by any
means, either mentally or physically.
In fact, he looks as if there were
many years of good service in him in
some field of endeaVor. The mention
of his name in connection with the
Democratic nomination for Governor
of Massachusetts means that he has
strong friends in his native state. 1t
is hardly probable that he will receive
that nomination, but it is worthy of
notice that the Democratic papers of
Boston seem to regard the mention
of his name for it with considerable
favor. But whether he becomes a fig
ure in politics or not, there is no
doubt that he is the implacable foe of
the President, and will do all he can
to prevent him from being elected
President. The President may yet
have occasion to wish that he had
shown the general a little more cour-
tesy when. he notified him that the
time for him to retire from the army
had arrived.

The Wise Don't Know,

''There is nothing more delusive than
horse racing, and the best judges and
shrewdest experts on equine matters
are as apt to go wrong as the veriest
amateur" said Mr.. P. M. McGarvey
of San Francisco, at the Ebbitt, says
the Washington Post.
II have long ago got rid of the turf
microbe so far as wanting to bet on
every race is concerned, and can now
look at them run without being crazy
to stake money.
but some years ago the fever was
on me bad, and I had the notion that
many novices entertain, that if l could
get inside information from one of the
big owners of race horses 1 could beat
all the bookmakers in Christendom
With this idea / cultivated the ac-
quaintance of one of the leading own
ers, and eventually this man formed a
sincere liking for me. He was known
to be honorable, and had several good
ones in his string of thoroughbreds.
zone day / went to him when one
of his horses was to run and asked
him what he thought of the chances
of his entry. He replied: Bet all the
money you have and can borrow from
your friends. My horse is out to win,
and there's nothing in the lot that is
in his class
This sounded pretty good, and l
promptly followed the advice. The
horse of my friend was not the favor
lite, and 1 got odds of to 1 against
him. 1 determined not to be a piker
that day, and raised $1,000 to wager on
the race. Well, to cut it short, my ami
NAL ran absolutely last, and all my
consolation was that my friend, the
owner, lost three times as much as
did.
mot over a month later the same
horse was to run again, but this time
he was in with a lot distinctly in
ferior to the company he ran with
when failed to cash. Again ! sought
his owners advice, and his answer
was: Don't bet a cent on the brute.
He is certain to lose to-day, and ]
shall not risk dollar on him. I never
knew why it was I went against this
counsel but somehow l still had faith
in the horse, and got down $500 on him
at S to 1. He beat everything in the
race by a comfortable margin, and
ever since then I have been skeptical
as to the virtue of expert knowledge in
horsefiesh."

Divided in Taste,

One morning, says Prudence Baxter
in Lippincott's Magazine, as Judge c.,
of N. county, Virginia, was starting
for the town, he was approached by
one of his negroes, who with more or
less confusion asked
''Massa, when yo' goes to de Cot
House will yo' git me license? rs
gwine to be mar'ed."
Married, are you, Sam? All right
called the judge as he hastily drove
off. Arrived at the Court House, he
spent a very busy day. and it was
not until he was preparing to leave
that he remembered Sans license and
realized that he had not been told the
name of the bride-elect.
The old idiot, he never told me who
he wants to marry, but, of course, it's
Lucinda; he's always making eyes at
her" So saying he returned to the
Court House and had the license made
out in the names of Sam and Lucinda.
Sam was the first to greet him upon
his return with the inquiry
Cit my license, NASSAU"
Yes, Sam, you old fool. You didn't
tell me who you want to marry, but
l remembered how you're always
hanging around counting Lucinda and
got the license in her name"
'Lawd. Nasal" exclaimed Sam,
q" faint Lucindy, it's Kyarline. What's
I gwine ter do, NASSAU"
WELL" said the judge, "the only
thing will be for me to get another Ii
cense Tomorrow
'Massa," said Sam. did yo' pay any
ting fur dem license?"
Eyes, Sam, a dollar and seventy
five cents"
"Will anuther license cos anyt'ing?"
asked Sam.
yes, Sam, dollar and seventy-five
cents more" replied the Judge.
After scratching his woolly pate for
few minutes Sam replied
WELL Massa, done axed Kyarline

cents diffunce in dem two niggers, so
