Jenny Iind's Graceful Tribute 20 Our
National Flag.
There Is pretty story told Of the
honor Jenny Lind once paid to the
American flag. 1t was when she was
In New York. more than sixty years
ago. The frigate St Lawrence had
Just returned from a cruise. and tho
midshipmen went to hear the Swedish
nightingale sing at Castle Garden the
ater, and the next day they called On
her I'm body. Their enthusiasm nHd
her graciousness soon brought about
visit to the ship and the acceptance
Of luncheon rendered her When she
was about to leave the ship she looked
up at the stars and stripes and said:
IL wish to salute your dag"
SO, standing on the gangway, she
sang ''The Star Spangled Banner" 81
lently from all over the ship men gath
cred with uncovered heads dntl the
ships family were all assembled on
deck. Nor were they her Only audi
ence, for borne upon the still air her
song had been heard by mauy other
vessels near by, and when the won
drous voice ceased steamers blew their
whistles and exultant cheers rose from
nll sides, filling the harbor with their
tribute Of applause for the beloved
artist and OF loyal reverence for the
flag she had so beautifully saluted.-

For this purpose, just outside of Bombay, India, built the Towers of Silence six in number. and con strtIcted with granite plastered with white cement.

A Circuitous Warning

The sending of peremptory warnings to ihe rival presidents of Mexico against shooting across the boundary at Naco appears to be a roundabout pro ceedng. Neither Gutierrez nor Carranza is engaged in the shooting, and neither, likely, has great deal influence with the troops which are engaged in it. General Hill and Governor Maytorena who are op- posing each other at Naco only nominally repre- of the titular leaders of the two Mexican factions Warning. therefore, transmitted through the two presidents would lose some of it's force when it reached the fighters at Naco
 It may be supposed that the comity of nations requires that should communicate with the nom nal rulers but we happen to recognize no Mexican government faction and, beside the matter is one which in any event would hardly call for any polite diplomatic exchanges. While making repre- sentation through the usual channels. several more Americans may be wounded or killed by stray if not purposey directed, shots from the Mexican side.
 The most direct way to prevent further shooting is to plant batteries on the American side, tram them on the trenches and barricades of heSfacons, and then send word to the generals that when the next Mexican bullet falls across the line the artillery sweep the whole battlefield until there will not be a Mexican soldier left to shoot into Amer ican territory.
 For months our government has been making protests issuing futile threats and warnings without result We would probably be pursuing the same futile for months to come but for the appeal from the people of Naco which has shamed the de- parment into show of action. We do not believe now that would be necessary to shell the Mexican factions if the government would only impress upon them that it will shell them unless they desist from shooting the line, but we cannot impress them by sending warning to them by circutous route.

The Advancinq Hest

The legislature is going to have hard time sistng the opportunities of those who will apply for clerlships and other positions We notice the papers from all parts of the state that this or that resident expects a position The number 0 applicants will probably be greater than before, and We presume that in the rolling process places will be made for the greatest possible number of them, that usual will find that there will be more clerks and other attaches than bers.
 We have a gleam of hope, however that there will be enough members with desire to make a record for economy to prevent the recurrence Of this biennial abuse and who will insist that only many attaches be needed shall be given ployment and that the clerks shall be chosen with reference to their competency. Legislative clerks a rule their appointments to political influence. and when rests his such influence it is q pretty good sign that he is lacking in merit
