Since 1901 New York has had a State flag.
In 1904 Maryland officially adopted a sim
liar State emblem. and last year Tennessee,
Montana. West Virginia and Nevada by
statute adopted State flags.
New York's State flag" as legally de-
scribed. is a blue background upon which
is the arms OF the State: two female figures.

being used in the public Offices at the cap
ital for letter headings and envelopes used
for official purposes. During the hours
when the Legislature was in session the
arms Of the State on a flag were to be
displayed from the Capitol, together with
the flag Of the United States.
The New York State flag IL not only dis
played on the Capitol. over State armories

use as a standard by New York militia regi-
ments. In 1908 a law was passed by the
Legislature making it a misdemeanor not
only to deface or defy. but also to place on
merchandise for sale the flag OF the

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
Intermarried whites Have Ma Rights in
Cherokee Funds and Lands.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Between 1000 and
5000 whites who intermarried with the
Cherokee Indians were to-day held by the
Supreme Court TO have no rights in the dis
tribution Of the funds and lands belonging
to the Cherokee nation.
The fund amounts TO several million
dollars and the lands 10 a. many acres. The
court holds that under the act Of Congress
the intermarried whites acquired no rights
in the distribution. the finding OF the Court
of Claims TO tn II effect being affirmed.
The court holds that the Cherokee nation
had the right to determine the qualifications
Of the citizens Of that nation, and having
decided that the intermarried whites were
not citizens the judgment was conclusive.
The court reversed the action of the Cir
cult Court in Maryland in enjoining the
Commissioner OF Wicomico county from
selling for taxes some stock of the Balti-
more, Chesapeake and Atlantic Railway
Company which they claimed was moi subject
TO taxation because that company was the
successor under the reorganization OF the
Baltimore and Eastern Shore Railroad
Company. The latter company by its
charter was exemEted from taxation for
thirty years, and the lower courts held that
the act OF 1895, by which the State Of Mary
land withdrew all special privileges to rail-
roads and subjected all to taxation alike.
impaired the obligation of the thirty year
contract. The Supreme Court to-day held
that the State had the right 70 withdraw
the special privileges, il not being an i'm
psirment Of the contract, and ordered the
injunction dismissed
The court With ut prejudice overruled
the demurrer filed by the Tennessee Copper
Company and the Ducktown sui bur and

OF Georgia TO prevent the operation Of the
smelters belonging TO the two companies,

other vegetation on the Georgia side of the

Murphy Day.

A large part OF Mr.. HEARsT's energy
was devoted in the latter part Of 1905
and the first half of 1905 % an effort to
prove that CHARLES +. MURPHY was a
ballot box suffer and falsifier Of election
returns. Lately Mr.. HEARST has not
repeated these accusations, but his silence
has not wiped from public memory
the allegations Of fraud he uttered so
frequently. To-day MIR. HEARST is
running for Office and Mr.. MURPHY is
supporting him. 1t would be interesting
to learn whether the candidate still re-
CARDS the Tammany leader as the scoun-
drel he described six months ago.
Perhaps association with Mr.. HEARST
has changed the nature of Nh. MURPHY
and redeemed him from the degradation
in which he must have been sunk when
his conduct called forth the condem-
nation Mr.. HEARST visited on him. Mr..
MURPHY may have e the w~ickedness
Of his practices and desisted therefrom.
In the atmosphere of light and sweet
ness that surrounds and permeates
those whose good fortune it h to enjoy
the confidence and society OF Mr.. HEARST
q notable reformation may have been
worked. II such is the case Mr.. HEARST
liz entitled to the thanks and c~ongratu-
lations of the entire community.
One thing only is evident at this time.
There will be no denunciation by Mr..
HEARST Of frauds committed at the polls
to-day in behalf Of the Murphy candi-
date for the highest Office the voters OF
the State have TO fill.

An Appreciation OF Governor Win
throp.

There is a daily paper published in
San Juan by a Spaniard who evidently
sits up nights and works on Sundays
trying to find flaws in the treatment Of
Porto Rico by the United States. The
Nominations Of FL BOIetiR McrcdnM de
Puerto Rico are strikingly ~malevolent,
so much 80 that they are often amusing.
From its persistent attacks, however,
this paper exempts Governor BEEKMAN
WINTHROP. who appears to have captured
the editors heart, as he has the hearts OF
Porto Ricans generally.
The following expression Of favor
able opinion was not a mere spasm Of
courtesy toward n gentleman who was
supposed TO be o. the eve Of his depart
ure. It is consistent with the attitude
maintained by the paper almost from
the time Of Mr.. WINTHRoP's appointment.
When it was announced that Governor
WINTHROP was to be transferred to
Cuba Ell Boietin printed an editorial
article from which we extract the fol-
lowing:

A Man to BE HOnOred.

Mr.. WILLIAM TRAvERs JEROME had
fallen from grace. For considerations
that could not be but dishonorabIe he
had misused and perverted his powers
rs District Attorney. He had refused to
adopt the principles of Judge Lynch in
the conduct of his Office and had failed
TO railroad various conspicuous persons
TO Jail. all to please and satisfy a vulgar
and unnatural, not to say wholly ficti-
tious, clamor. The upper courts sus-
tanned and approved Mr.. JERoME's
course, but still the cutlery did not cease.
IL was a criminal political necessity to
damn Mr.. JEROME. and damned he was
while the occasion for it lasted.
The belief in Mr.. JERoME's personal
disabilities from these alleged causes
was sedulously cultivated and dissemi-
mated by many Democrats, by Demo-
Gratis of Mr.. JERoME's own profession,
who knew better; by Democrats of emil
neno who knew its possible value as
practical treachery and who feared his
interference with their own selfish ends.
IT was fostered, too, by the press for the
same or for worse reasons, and it was
propagated in ignorance by the thought
less and the misinformed. So far as the
newspapers of this town are concerned,
nothing has been more dlsgraceful in
their history or more shameful in motive
and method than their course toward
JEROME. The things they have printed
have been false; some of them know it
only too well; while OF others it is chari-
table to suppose that they don't know it.
Had the things been true they had long
since been fatal to him, but inasmuch as
they are wholly false and wholly base in
their origin and intent, they can do him no
harm. He will rise superior to all attack
of this kind, and his unsullied character,
his lofty principles and his remarkable
abilities will carry him far in the service
of his country! Would there were more

Mr.. Loomis's Remarks ON English and
American Travelling Taken Seriously.

>AA0 A0S@h
To rHE EDITOR or tbs sUN-Sir: In THE
sun OF November 4 Is an article on travelling
in America and England headed Our Way
and the British" which to me as . constant
traveller II. to say the least. somewhat mis-
leading.
Az a much travelled EngIlshman living in
America. and especially New York. l have not
found with your contributor that New
York represents the quintessence OF civniza-
tion," nor has this been the verdict OF my
English friends here.
Travelling In England is undoubtedly
cheaper thar In the States and in a great
many instances really more comfortable as
your writer points out; but the real reason
OF this is that travellers in England are more
divided up. so to speaker shall say
sorted out. They can 90 easily avoid the
-sQuslling baby. the -garlicky Italian and
the other pests,
1 have found In my travelling through the
States that to be perfectly comfortable one
must pay extra. Tn special Pullman par
lor and Pullman staterooms make excellent
travelling. but one must pay. whereas In
England the mere price OF the ticket prob
ably secures a greater amount OF comfort
and a tip OF a few pence does the rest,
The writer OF THE SUN article gives a some
what exaggerated description OF the troubles
Of the New York traveller in having his trunk
sent to the Grand Central and subsequently
checked. The American system OF checking
trunks Ii excellent. The English system.

having the peculiar facility OF keeping cool
under all the circumstances OF travel. This
fact is ably commented upon in your article.
The sentence in which the correspondent
says he can see many ways In which the Eng
lishman could be brought nearer to the Amer
lean high standard Of courtesy and political
purity I as an Engllshman would have you

short Term Cabinet Officers.

When Mr.. ROOSEVELT became Presi-
dent of the United States he reappointed
to Office the members Of his predecessors
Cabinet. including Ex-Governor JOHN
ID. LONG of Massachusetts, who had
been at the head Of the Navy Department
during the Spanish war. Mr.. LONGS
commission as Secretary under Mr..
ROOSEVELT bore date of September a.,
1901. Secretary LONG remained in the
Cabinet until April 20, 1902, making the
period Of his service under two Presi-
dents a few days short Of five years
and two months.
The successor To Mr.. LONG in the Navy
Department was WILLIAM II. MOODY
Of Massachusetts, who served two
years and two months, retiring on
July 1, 1904, 10 become Attorney-Gen-
eral. His successor was PAUL MORTON
Of Illinois. whose term of Office was
! exactly one year. Mr.. MORTON turned
the Department over to the present
Secretary, CHARLES J. BoNAPARTE, on
July /, 1905. 1t is now announced that
Mr.. BoNAPARTE will become Attorney

term in the Navy Department just
eighteen months long.
Mr.. B~ONAPARTE may find the Depart
ment of Justice a ~pleasanter home than
his present post of duty, but it is highly
probable that he regrets to leave the
Navy Department. This view OF the
matter is warranted by Mr.. B~oNAPARTE's
well recognized devotion to the interests
of the public and his belief that even n
four year term for the Secretary of the
Navy is too short for effective and tell
ing work. He had not been in the Cabi-
net a year before he discovered the dis
advantages OF short terms for Secretaries.
ON March "a Of this year, in an address
before the Johns Hopkins University Club
IN Baltimore, Mr.. BoNAPARTE said:
