WANT NO A

Just what purpose a distinctive flag
is to serve our State buildings. beyond
helping the business of manufacturers
of bunting, is not cas- to see. The
fewer flags of varying designs we LAY
Haunted, the better. A multitude of
colors, running in shades from anarchis-
tic red to white, tend simply to granu-
late the love and allegiance that should
be paid to the one fiag.-Worcester

POOR

Americans are considered by the
world the most business-like people on
earth. 1t is bad business not to pro-
vide suitably for our proper represen-
tation in foreign countries. Niggardly
allowances for ministers and ambassa-
doris make a poor argument for Il
claim to a proud position among the
powers,-Louisville Courier-Journal.

RIGHT MAN In RIGHT PLACE.

From the Secretary of the Treasury
has come a report of what he did in
time of trouble and why he did it.
The report is more than a mere JUS
LITIGATION. 1t strengthens impressions
which were worth confirming. The
country supposed that Cortelyou was
the right mar in the right place. 1t
knows it now.-Brooklyn Eagle.

JOHN H. HALL IS
ADJUDGED GUILTY
JURY CONVICTS FORMER UNITED
STATES DISTRICT ATTORNEY IN
THREE HOURS.

PORTLAND, (OrD, February s.
Former United States District Attorney
John H. Hall, indicted for conspiracy
with the Butte Creek Land, Livestock
and Lumber Company, to maintain an
illegal fence which enclosed 10000
acres of public land in Wheeler county
was today found guilty. The trial has
been in progress since January 18TH
and has been bitterly fought on both
sides.
Three hours and ten minutes after

defendant declares that he cannot

be arrived at except that it was based
on evidence wholly outside the case
charged and which Hail. having no
previous notice of, had no opportunity
to NEE. Hall emphatically declares
in a statement to the press that there
was no evidence against him of the
conspiracy charge in the Indictment
and that it was on outside evidence
the verdict was based.
There were eleven individuals In
dicted in this conspiracy charge, These
