The democratic bankers of Colorado
seem to be having plenty Of trouble
Just now. Last fall they helped elect
a democratic legislature on n platform
cIlling for bank guaranty legislation.
They evidently thought the platform
was drawn simply as bait for votes
and that no legislator would be so fool.

platform promises into effect by legis-

with the threat that this bank guaran.

There may be two reasons for a
thing, both equally true, and it may
be the height of folly to attribute
the effect to both. A gentleman to
whom art was a strange thing asked
a friend, to whom the ways of its
votaries we're more familiar:
"Why does Conneray stand off
and half-shut his eyes when he looks
at the pictures he is painting? | was

Most of the country papers con

A AND ITS R E

As DR.. Darwin was walking one
day in his garden he perceived a
wasp upon the gravel walk with a
large fly nearly as big as itself which
it had caught. Kneeling down, he
distinctly saw it cut off the head
and then taking up with its feet
the trunk or middle portion Of the
body, to which the wings remained
attached, fly away.
But a breeze Of wind acting on the
wings of the fly turned around the
wasp with its burden and impeded
its progress. Upon this it alighted
again on the gravel walk, d~eliberatey
" sawed off first one wing and then
the other, and having thus removed
the cause of its embarrassment, flew
off with its booty.

FULTON

The Fulton Commercial club
has offered a prize of S25 to the
paper giving the best write.up
of the Galloway city. A number
of editors who attended the meet
ing of the Missouri Press as
ISOLATION at Fulton last week are
sneaking into their papers nice
notices of the city, in which they
were entertained, as news items.
Any one of them would say 'Oh,
no, l am not after that money.

and wrote about it,"
Now this paper could use that
money and is not backward a.
bout its desire. The following
ought to cop the cookies:

A TROPICAL SKIRT.

A missionary who labored in a

gave to the fairest of her tribe sever
al yards of cloth wherewith to make

SOME POETRY.

Something is wrong this year.
Several weeks ago this paper
called for some poems and so far
only one has come in. It's
author prefers to have his name
withheld from the public. 1t is
an Indian song after the classic
models of Arrah Wanna and Re-
Wing. Here it is:
WHEN SQAW BET SINGS.
When Squaw Bet sings
Grows flap their wings
And fly across the sea.
The bulldogs yelp
And cries for help
Are heard most pfteously.
And in the ground
The taters turn round
And almost stretch their jacket
And peep to see
What on earth can be
The cause of so much racket.
But Squaw Bet sings.

HOME RULE

All during the campaign Mr..
Hadley preached home rule for
the big cities, He was elected
and at his dictation the Repub-
lican house passed a home rule
bill that provided for home rule
for the cities, with the exception
that the Governor would have
the running of affairs as former
.ly. The Democratic senate
changed this to provide for
absolute home rule aud there the
bill died.
Then came forth the Governor
with a statement that after he and
the other Republicans had tried
their best to give the cities home
rule the Democratic senate had
thwarted their purpose. That
was a pretty bold thing to do,
when the only way the Demo
Gratis got into the game was by
making a real home rule bill out
of fake one.
Governor Hadley does not
want to see home rule so long as
he is in office and in that he is
right; but when he attempts to
work his double cross on the
opposing party, he is trifling
with veracity.
A number of country papers
are stating this week that he
can't fool the public; but we had
better not be so sure. He got
by with a lot of awful misre-
presentations last fall and there
is no reason why he can't repeat
the trick. He might say that
Bishop Palmore is a Christian
Scientist, that Moses WetmOre
is a poor man, that David Ball is
a loyal and generous Democrat,
that II. F, Stapel is aprohibition-
ist or that the lieutenant.gover-
nor is Irish and be believed by
a majority of the voters of this
state.

Lincoln Memorial unvalled.

The Lincoln Memorial Monument in
Lincoln Square. Lowell, Mass. pur-
chased largely thru the efforts of the
school children of Lowell, Mass, was
unvailed on Memorial Day in the pres
ence of the G. A. r. and a large con-
course of people. Beside the G. A r.
there were three companies of the Mas
sachusetts National Guard, Spanish War
Veterans and the High School regiment
with their bands. Superintendent Whit
comb made the presentation speech,
after which the bugler of the High
School regiment gave the call, and four
children, dressed in the National colors
pulled aside the Flag and revealed the
monument. The Mayor of the city re-
ceived this in brief address, paying
high tribute to Lincoln and to the SOL
diers who supported his Administration.
Immediately after the parade the mem
bers Of Ladd and Whitney Post, 1856,
were served aLsupper by the ladies OF
the Ladd and Whitney Circle, Ladies of
the G. A. R., when a bust of Abraham
Lincoln on q marble pedestal was pre-
sented to the Post as the gift of Com
rade George hecke. The presentation
speech was made by Representative AL
bert Blaisdell.-o of Tewksbury. a member

and also for the circle in the Confeder-
ate flag. The circle has the advantage
that it can have new stars added to 1t
at any time without destroying its SYM
metry. Small stars can either be made
five points, like on our coin, or six
pointed, like on our present Flag"
In the first place, we do not want the
parallels of our stars disturbed at all.
The Flag is all right as it stands. If
the field Of the Flag is changed the Ma
tions of the earth would have to be
taught all over again that 1t is our Flag.
There are any number of red and white
striped flags, but only one flag with
parallel rows Of stars, and ours is now
the best-known Flag in the world.
Then, why should we single out the
Lone Star State (Texas) for special
symbolization on the Flag. Texas is a
mighty empire. but she Is no better
than any other State, and always and
eternally would loyal people object to
any suggestion of tie Confederate flag
in the Flag of the Union; besides. the
Confederate flag as finally adopted has
cross of stars and not a circle. And,
lastly, the stars on the Flag are not six
pointed, but fve-pointed. The stars on
our coins are most of them six-pointed; {;
on some of the coins they are six-point-
ed on one side and ffve-pointed on the
other The present" Flag is exactly as
it was adopted June IA, 1877, except
that star has been added for each
State admitted into the Union.

The Department of Georgia.

S. Clay Brown, Quartermaster, Geo.
G. Grouse Post. Fitzgerald, Ga, says
that the statement that a number of
Georgia people from Fitzgerald were
present at the unvailing of the Wirz
Monument is not correct. So far as
Fitzgerald is concerned the only per-
son present was one girl, who repre-
sented the Fitzgerald Chapter of the
Daughters of the Southern Confederacy.
May 81 an excursion train carrying
from 400 to 500 people went from Fitz-
gerald to Andersonville National Gene
terry to carry out the Memorial Day ex-
ercises, and they simply ignored the
WirZ Monument. The road leading to
the cemetery is about a quarter of a
mile north of the little railroad station
at Andersonville. The Fitzgerald party
debarked at this road, and marched to
the cemetery, not going near the sta
tioH or the village. While they all feel
as Foraker about the monument, and
would not shed any tears if the hateful
thing were destroyed, they will not
harm it, and hope that it will not be
nutilated or destroyed, for if this were
