Livingstone, the ranking Democrat on
the appropriations committee in con-
gress, while discussing politics during
the day.
He said he did not come to Wash
ington to discuss moonshine politics,
but was pleased to take time to say
that nothing was more ridiculous than
the Cleveland proposition. And he
added:
Parker is the most acceptable man
we can think OF just now, and in my
mind will continue to be SO for some
time.
II hardly know why We are pressed
to talk politics at this time. but pre-
sumo 1t is because President Roose-
velt is concluding one of the biggest
electiOneering trips the country ever
saw"

PAINTING RECEIVED
MRS. J. H. JOHNSON MAKES
 DONATION. Historical Department Has Oil Paint ing of the Four Flags of the |. Confederacy Hung in !t Senate Chamber.

The State Department of Archives and History is in receipt of a large oil paint sng of the four flags of the Confederate States, which were adopted by the Con- federate Congress.
 The painting is the donation of Mrs. J. Hal Johnson of Talladega who, herself. did the work of repr oducing on canvass the emblems of the Lost Cause. The grouping is artistic and so arranged as to bring out the beauty of the design of each flag.
 TAe--first flag is the well known Stars and Bars. adopted by the Confederate Congress in Montgomery and elevated to the summit of the staff on the Capitol on March 4, 1861, by Miss l.. c. Tyler of Vir- ginta, granddaughter of John Tyler, ex- President of the United States.
 The second flag Is the Battle Flag" designed by Gen. P. G. T. Beauregard, and adopted by Gen. Joseph E. Johnston after the first battle of Manassas and afterwards adopted by the Confederate Congress. The reason for the adoption of this flag was that in the smoke and dust of battle the Stars and Bars was fre- uuently mistaken for the Stars and Stripes. This flag was conceived on the field of battle. lived on the field of battle, and was borne on every field from Man assas to Appomattox.
 The third flag of the series was adopted by the Confederate Congress on May l, lS63, and was known as the National Flag"
 The fourth flag is a modification of the flag and was adopted on March g, 1865, on account of the similarity of the Ma fional Flag to a flag of truce when 1t dropped on the staff. red outer border was added thus breaking such a like less.
 The painting was hung by Director T. M owen in the Senate Chamber along with the other paintings and relics of his collection.

TALKED OF COMPROMISE.
Democrats and Republicans Confer
 on Statehood.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The Democratic members of the Senate Committee on Postoffices had another meeting today with representatives of the Republican element in the Senate favorable to the omnibus Statehood bill for the purpose of discussing the possibility of yet securing a compromise which may be acceptable to all parties. The Democratic members of the conference assured the Republicans that the rejection of the settlement pro- posed by the Republican side of the Sem ate as a whole is final.
 They were then requested to suggest a basis of agreement among themselves. Replying that they could speak only for themselves. the Democrats suggested that New Mexico and Arizona might be ad- mitted as one State with the understand ing that Arizona may become a separate State on the attainment of a population of 2o0000 within the present area of that territory, and on the vote of the people of that area alone. The Republican con- ferees promised to present the suggestion to other Republican Senators. Those present at the conference were Senators Clay, Dubois and Simmons, Democrats, and Senators Quay. Foraker, Gallinger and Mason. Republicans.
