Revised American Flag Has Forty
Eight Stars.

1t is we'll for all concerned with
store decoration to nhow that two
stars will be added to the American
flag on July 4. The field will be
composed of even rows for the first
time since 1865. Although flags are
already on the market with stars to
represent the statehood of Arizona
and New Mexico, those are not yet
recognized by the army and navy.
Word has gone out from Washington
that the new arrangement will be six
rows of eight stars each. No change
will be made except in the second
and fifth rows. These rows now con-
tain seven stars each and are spaced
between those in the rows above.

V4a9D readers. and this week we
are able to give complete Chronology
of what happened in Decatur county
during the full year OF 1877, thirty
five years ago. The chronology was
written by John Keaton, who was
then a reporter on the old Reporter
at that time. It was found by Mrs.
Jacob Brazelton, of Ebert, Colorado,
in an old scrap book in her posses
sion and she very kindly sent 1t to
us last week. We are always glad
TO have interesting items of this
character sent to us.
"The following is synopsis OF
public events that have TRANSFERRED IN
our county during the year 1877. IN
all cases where we have been able,
we give exact date of the occur
rences, but there may be some few
mistakes even in these OF day or
two-but in the main they are cor
rect. We believe such table will be
of interest to many of our readers,
and especially to those in our coun-

At the same time it was proposed to enact law resembling the legislation by congress relative to the Canadian reciprocity treaty. Though that treaty was rejected by the Canadians, the print paper and wood pulp feature of it became eff fective and has remained so to the present time. Sweden and other countries, therefore claimed the right to export these articles to the United States free, under the ia vored nation" clause This claim was referred by the president to the treasury department where, we be- Heve, a decision is yet pending.
 The first move in behalf of the paper trust was made by Senator Heyburn of Idaho last winter, after the rejection by Canada of the treaty, in bill to repeal what leg islation had been enacted by the congress with reference to that sub ject. It was pointed out at the time that. since the treaty was al- ready dead, further action relating to it was unnecessary unless it was the purpose of the congress to re

HOLIDAY GAME GOES ID
 .- PHOENIX BY CLOSE SCORE
Fans Survive Heat and Witness Best Amateur Game Ever Pulled
 Off Here

\ large crowd saw a very good eX- hibition of the national game at East Lake Park yesterday afternoon. when Phoenix took it away from Tempe by the stored score of 1 to 0
 The teams were in the best possible shape. Tempe in particular having re cruited many of the stars from the normal and high school teams The local lin up sounded suspiciOusly like that of ,he fighting Pastimes.
 Features of the fast game Were the splendid work of the two pitchers. Smiley for Phoenix and Spikes with the Tempeites. From the uniformly good sport of both tWirers stand out the fielding of Bagley of Phoenix and the successful guarding of the Tempe second Daseman.
 The further success of the projected league depends upon the decision of the park authorities to allow Sunday games dt East Lake. Committees will wait on MT Mitchell of the traction company today to try the persuasive powers on that autocrat of the dia- mond.
 Providing the managers can secure use of the park the two teams that put up such a good exhibition Memorial day will stage another combat Sunday. This ought to be successful in finan- ciaI way as well as good baseball. for the receipts yesterday amounted to well over $S0 which allows ample funds to pay ali expenses

The Wane of Populism.


 The Republican extends its con eratulations to the democracy of Ari- zoua on the result of the first demo- cratic state primary. not on account ot the personnel of the victors and 1he vanquished but on account of the showing of the further wane of popuism, .progressivism" and so- rialism within the parry This is d matter in which all good citizens re- 2ardless of party, must be interested.
 The issue was presented very clearly in the late contest. There were two principal candidates for 'he presidential preference vote. Clark stands for conservative demo- cracy Wilson is a true and accepted representative of the radical wing of the party. The victory of Clark was sweeping. of course, many demo- crats who voted for Clark are recog- nzed as "progresstves," but the lead CTS of the radical movement in Arf- zona. almost to a man. were Wilson men.
 The most clear cut struggle was the contest for the endorsement for the office of national committeeman. Ling was the representative of the old line democracy and on that ac- count he had been especially at tackled by the radicals. O'Neiu was the champion of the new and untried democracy. Both were well known throughout the state and both were personally well liked.
 Yet, Ling carried the state easily and what is more significant. won sweeping victories in countes that a year ago were hotbeds of pro- eressivism. This was the case nota- bly in Cochse where the change was even more clearly illustrated by the election as delegate to the Baltimore convention. of Dr. Shine, an ultra conservative, over Representative c. F Kelton. pronounced progress sive."
 In this county Shaw conserva- tive won an easy victory over WoIpe the representative of the 'progres sive' state administration So. t has been generally throughout the state. While some of the delegates elect are known as progressives. there is not on of them who could. in any circumstances be stamped to Bryan or any candidate who stands for Bryanism.
 Whatever fruit may be ultimately produced in the form of demo- cratic candidate for the presidency The democratic primaries gave forth a most healthfuI sign.

store the duty on paper and pulp. hardihood to avow any such purpose but now it has done so in the
 amendment adopted day before yes terday
 Many evil things have been done in the name of protection but noth- ing else so inquitous has ever been accomplished as the maintenance in
 the Dingley and the Payne Aldrich laws of the duty on print paper and wood pulp. It may be said in de fense of the farmers of the Dingley bill that they were without proper information on that subject No such defense can be offered in be- half of the makers of the Payne Aldrich law. The ways and means committee of the house and the finance committee of the senate were afforded the most complete mfor- nation by Mir John Norris of the
 publishers association The testi- mony of Mir Norris before those com
 mittees was never controverted He showed. in the first place. that the workers in the Canadian mills received higher wages than are paid
 to American operatives and that not withstanding that, the Canadian manufacturers. in spite of the high duty of the Dingley law, could al most compete with the trust in this country. Thus the trust was plainly the sole beneficiary of the duty

 Yesterday evening on his way to the depot to 'ake the train for Maricopa he saw a man who in a general way answered the description of Strong and stopped him The stranger undertook to throw discrejit upon the good name of tho state by saying that his name was Hunt. He made statements in answer to questions that partially sat isfied the officer for the time but the deputy sheriff kept his eye on him and later decided to interview him more closely.
 He asked him if he had any papers that would support his statement that his nama was Hunt The man said he had letter but he was unable to find it. He was then taken to the sheriffs ! office where at last he admitted that he was Strong but he said he had no | idea Whv he was wanted in Los An 1 geIes.
