FLAG DAY IN NEW JERSEY.

Flag day, which will be observed to-
morrow, has a particular meaning to
New Jersey. 1t was in this state that
1.-THE flag was first carried into battle.
That was at the battles of Trenton and
Princeton, some time before it was Of
feiany adopted as the national en-
blem. But it was on Jersey soil, too,
that the stars and stripes was first rails
ed over the army, as the flag of the
nation. This was at Washington s
headquarters near Bound Brook, and
tomorrow the people of that place will
observe the event in an appropriate
manner. The Newark Star gives some
interesting facts in this connection that
every Jerseyman ought to know. It
says:
cit was in the latter part of June,
I1776, that Washington visited the lit
tie shop of Betsy Ross in Philadelphia
and asked that patriotic woman to
make a flag for the newly born nation,
and she made one with thirteen stars
and thirteen stripes. The flag was of
ficially adopted by Congress, a year af-
terward, on June IA, 1777, and the
anniversary Of that event will be Flag
Day next Wednesday. The question has
been discussed as to when the flag was
first used. 1t was carried into action
at the battles of Trenton and Prince.
ton, December 90, 1910, and January
3, 1777, months before Congress adopt
ed the emblem. But the flag was first
officially raised over the army as the
national flag when Washington lay en-
camped at Bound Brook. That was on
the morning of June Is, 1777. On the
previous day Congress had adopted the
flag, which had been borne by the ar
my, but had not yet been made the
national emblem. It then represented
nothing more than the desire of Wash
ington and the handiwork Of Betsy
Ross flag of thirteen stars and thir-
Stars and Stripes. Bound Brook will
on ext Wednesday raise the Betsy
Ross flag Of theirteen stars and thir-
teen stripes on the spot where Wash
ington's headquarters stood. The Leg
~islature has appropriated $4,000 to-
ward a fund for the erection of a shaft
100 feet high and the purchase of a
tract of a square mile on the Watch
ung Mountain at Bound Brook for a
site and public park, and Congress is
asked for an appropriation of 800, 900.
On the shaft will be a ninety-foot pole,
which is to fly the Stars and Stripes
every day Of the year and a beacon
light will blaze at night to light it up
and remind the traveller that it was
there that the Stars and Stripes were
first put to the breeze as the adopted
emblem of the American republic"

POSTAL SURPLUS.

It is announced from Washington
that Postmaster General Hitchcock
proposes to end the present fiscal year
of his department with a surplus. This
is looked upon as marvellous in view
of the fact that for years the post of
fee department has been noted for its
deficit, the only question being how
large it would be. Two years ago the
deficit was over $17,OOO,OOO. Last
year it was reduced to but $4,000, 900.
At the present time, it is reported,
there is a surplus Of 81, 0OO, 600 and it
is hoped that during the present month,
the last of the fiscal year, this will
be increased. If the surplus can be
maintained it is declared that one cent
postage will soon be a reality.
! But before we bestow too much
praise on the postmaster general for

DOMESTIC SCIENCE FOR MEN.

the following. for an example. the same
being an editorial in recent number
of the Portland Oregoniau;
Two young men, in order 10 bc ready

and equip themselves accordingly are
wise in their day and generation.
There is no doubt in the world about
the value and utility of the proposed
course in domestic science. for men. II
is often quite as necessary for men to
know how to prepare food fit to eai
as it is for women to know how to do
it, Emergencies come along from time
to time in practical life which render

the high prices Of domestic labor and

INDIA,S GREAT DURgAR.

The dispatches from India are very
enthusiastic about the magulficencc
and grandeur OF the imposing Durbar
held by the Emperor and Empress OF
India at Delhi Lavish gifts were
made tho display was regardless of cN'
pcnse. and the scenes altogether were
of gli1tering glory.
Bul We do not imagine for ono mo-
mcnt that it was merely for the splen'
dor of tic ceremonies thst this Dur
bar was held. 1t has been known TO
the world for some years that there isia
scetbiug discomfort in India. This diS-
content smoug the natives IL growing,
aud the Soutimeut is becoming Nlde-
spread among the educated classes Of
the natives that India should he for
the East Indians, and not for the Brit
ons,
Uudoubrcdly therefore, this great
show Of ma2nificcncc was So impress
the people of India with the majesty
and power of the British Empire. The
scene as whole may be considered.
then. as III measure Intended 10 over
awe The natives and stamp out the
aspirations that have been so freely
expressed for native as against British
rule in India The British view of this,
of course, is that the natives are alto.
gctber wrong in their ideas that India
should he for the East Indians; be
cause. as they can very easily point out
whenever India has been native ruled.
scenes of bloodshcd, spoliation, and
ma ssacres prevail Ii is the British
power that cemcnts the different States
Of India together in peace. Otherwise
the rulers of these Kingdoms would fly
at each others throats and the blood
thirstiuess of war would prevail That
has been the history of India for thou
sauds of years, aud there is j good
deal of force in the British contention
that If the British overlordShip were
withdrawn, scenes of turmoil, massacre,
pillage, and suyagery would ensue 10 an
extent and of violence that would ap.
pail the world.
The visit of King George and Queen
Mary to be crowned as Emperor and
Empress OF India will undoubtedly be
held to be a precedent, and the future
rulers OF Great Britain will he cx-
pected in order to make good their
succession aud power as Emperor aud
Empress of India, to GO to Delhi to
be crowned as such, Ii may be an
awkward precedent, and certainly this
is the first instance Of this great ccre-
mony in India, although the late King
Edward. while Prince, was the recipient
as representative of his mother. the
Empress of India. of great honors GU
his, visit to India. But, however awk-
ward the precedent may turn out TO
be later on, it was probably thought
TO be great stroke OF policy and OF
politics to have this Durbar and coro
nation at this time. The effect will
probably be as intended, TO quiet the
East Indian ferment, and to fix more
firmly than ever the British rule over
the Indian peoples.

STATE DEPARTMENT ACCOUNTS.

Some impatience Is expressed about
the keepncss of the Democrats in the
House TO investigate the accounts OF
the State Department. This touchInoss,
however, is entirely out Of place; Tor
it was developed in the House iuvcsti-
CATION that, with regard to the pay
for the painting of the portrait Of AS
sociate Justice Day Of the Supreme
Court, there was secrecy, evasion, and
apparent trickiness that aroused sus-
picion. a good deal more than half Of
the money appropriated for that portrait
went 10 some source yet unknown. The
painter received not much more than
onc-thrd of the amount paid by Con-
gross. All sorts of evasions and ef
forts to conceal seemed to be INDUCED
in by witnesses before the committee,
and 10 cap 1t all, the voucher itself
was found one day on the floor of one
of the State Department rooms. and
