FLAO THAT IS GOOD ENOUOH. [Chicago Review,] (Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, of the British navy, speaking of the close friendship and common aims of Great Britain and the United States, suggests that the time has eorae to adopt a flag that will in future be common to both countries.—Associated Press Dispatch.) One flag for both? All right, tny boy—and here's our hand to you. By the crimson dawn and the white of stars and sheen of the clear sky's blue; By the blood-stained snows of Valley Forge, by the sufferings of our sires; By the works they wrought in the days gone by to kindle our altar fires— We pledge our friendship strong and true, hands clasped across the sea; The past forgot in the work ahead, true brothers for aye we'll be, No matter what flag floats high in air, we’ll cheer till we burst our pipes, For any old flag is good enough—just so it’s the Stars and Stripes. Blood of our blood aud flesh of our flesh, why longer remain apart? We scrapped, ’tls true, In the days gone by, but Time has healed each smart. Let’s head the marcli of the world’s progress, keep step on the world’s highway, "God Save the King'' and “America,” two tunes our bands can play. And when the banner we both shall bear is kissed by the rising sun Let us clasp hands with a right good will and boast of the good deeds done. One flag for both? That strikes us right! Let's cheer till we burst our pipes, For any old flag is good enough—just to it's the Stars and Stripes, By the green-grassed lanes of Lexington, by the banks of the Brandywine; By the plains of Monmouth bleak and drear where the ghostly campfires shine; By the reeking swamps of the sunny South where “Swamp Fox” rode tui(J fought: By the brave old sires of Seventy-six, and the works they wrought. We are ready now to join with you in all that is right and fair And march 'ueath a tingle banner, too, at free as our mountain air. One flag for both? That suits our taste—we’ll cheer till we burst our pipes, For any old flag Is good enough—just so it’s the Stars aud Stripes. We boast of our Anglo-Saxon blood—the blood of a brave old strain— From Hempton Heath and from Runnyraede the pride of our strength we gain. But we, too, have blood from another source —German and Norse and Celt; Aud their earnest worth in the land we love in the years gone by we’ve felt. They've helped to make this broad free land the grandest place on earth. And here in the West a proud new race - American—had its birth. Americans all we staud to-day, the best of the nation’s types, And any old flag will do for us—just so it’s the Stars and Stripes.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Political and deneral Qossip of the National Capitol. Special Correspondence to The Democrat: The decision of Russia and Japan to conduct their peace conference in the capital of the United States will doubtless prove a source of gratification to all loyal Americans even though they apreciate that there are some dangers entailed by the suddenly enhanced importance of Washington as a diplomatic center. In itself the decision implies a compliment to this country for the reason that it is a testimonial to the perfect neutrality which the U. S. has maintained throughout the struggle of Russia and Japan "for thq supremacy of the far east. Japan feared the partisan interest of Europe and presistently objected to meeting the Russian commissioners in any European capital save that of its ally, England. Russia objected to Londou and would not listen to the suggestion that the peace negotiations be conducted near the seat of war, or, in fact, anywhere in Asia. Consequently the United States became the natural place in which to seek a compromise city and when this was made clear to the President he immediately proposed Washington, although his previous influence had been in favor of the Hague, for the sentimental reason surrounding that birthplace of international arbitration and universal peace movement. t t t Once the perliminaries to the formal conference of Japanese and Russian plenipotentarie6 are settled this country will have little official relation with the negotiations. According to the custom it is incumbent on this country to play the part of host and provide a place for the meeting of the delegates but there is an abundance of such places in Washington so that the obligations present few difficulties. It has been suggested by the President that, if Washington in August proves uncomfortably warm the plenipotentaries may easily adjourn to some cooler city for a time to return to Washington later on in the season. The President has even said that if this course is determined upon he will place two naval vessels at the disposal of the conferees to take them to some place like Newport or Bar Harbor presumably the dispatch boats the Dolphin and the Sylph. There is no doubt, however that if the plenipotentiaries suoceedin effecting a peace convention, and the President is certain that they will, that it will be signed in Washington and will go down in history as the treaty of Washington, being the first oon.

veation of great international importance ever signed in the capita! of the United States. t t t People *in Washington are watching with a good deal of interest for the promised explanation of the resignation of Messrs. Jndson and Harmon who were retained by the government as special counsel in the prosecution of the rebate case against the Sante Fe railroad. All that is known so far is that these attorneys have resigned because of a difference of opinion with Attorney General Moody, but it is suspected in some quarters that this difference arose with regard to the possible prosecution of Paul Morton, Secretary of the Navy. However, the Attorney General has promised to publish an explanation which will accord with the views of himself and the distinguished counsel and the conservative public will await that explanation. |t t Attorney General Moody has recently voiced a plaint against the newspapers of this country because, he says, they want the Department of Justice try its cases before the tribunal of the press, as he expresses it. In other words, the Attorney General maintains that the newspapers insist on knowing and on publishing the discoveries and plans of the Department before they are revealed in the courts and that in this way the cases of the Government are weakened by their revelaton in advance to the attorneys for the defense. While there might be some ground for this complaint there seems to be little reason why the Department should not refuse to reveal information when such revelation would weaken the Goverment’s case and the newspaper men charged with the duty of reporting the work of the Department have never peroeived any reluctance to suppress information when it pleased the Attorney General to do so.

Attorney General Moody made one complaint in conversation with your correspondent recently which deserves consideration and even support by the law abiding people of the country. He said that with a view to preventing an innocent man from suffering the lawmakers had gone to a radical exteme in placeng obstacles in the way of prosecuting criminals, or men charged with crime, and that it was, under existing statutes, a matter of years to merely bring to trial a man who was under indictment irrespective of how conclusive the evidence was. The Attorney General referred especially to the case of State Senator Geo. E. Green of New York who was indicted more than two years ago and who is still free awaiting the Supreme Court on his habeas corpus suit, which decision cannot be rendered until autumn. The Attorney General bespoke popular support for his recommendation to Congress that a statute be enacted providing that any person indicted for violation of the United States statute might be brought immediately to the District’ of Columbia for trial without any intervening legal proceedings. It is to be hoped that such a statute will be enacted next session.

Observations of an Optimist.

The only tales that dead men tell are ghost stories. The man with a grievance is always a grievance to his friends. It’s a poor memory that doesn’t allow a man to forget what he owes. The man who is always down in the mouth seldom gets up in the world. A good deal of behaving hurts nobody and a little of it goes a long way. True friendship, like phosphorus, always shows up best in the darkest hour. Women should remember that as a pursuader a kiss always discounts a rolling pin. A man never fully realizes the power of a woman’s eloquence until after he gets married. Always look on the bright side of things—and if yon are baying them, look on both sides. A What a jolly old world this would be if we could only see others as we see ourselves.

It is an easy matter for a bachelor to love his neighbor as himself—Jf she is young and pretty. It might be well to remember that it is better to swallow insult and bitter pills without ohewing. It has been said that marriage ends a woman’s existence; but the man who acts as a baby carriage motor is still in the push. It doesn’t matter how little a man may love his neighbors he can see no good reason why they should not have a kindly feeling for him.

Philosophy of a Pessimist.

Lots of political big guns are nothing but air guns. When a woman flies into a passion it’s time to dip her wings. The trouble with folks who know but little is, they always tell more. Wine is a mocker—and the label on the bottle is usually a mockery. A girl who can't sing seldom finds it out until after everybody else does. Most women reason in a circle; that’s why there is no end to their arguments. Any woman who can’t held her tongue or a baby has no business with either. It’s simply impossible to suppress the man who imagines he can tell a funny story. When you are in trouble most people who call to sympathize are only after the particulars. The women who runs after a husband till Bhe gets one seldom has occasion to boast of her catch. About half the time when a woman does bit the nail on the head she drives it in the wrong place. Women will never be paid as much for lecturing as men because they do too much of it for nothing. Some of the would-be actors who want to go on the stage should take the fast express; it would get them home quicker. People often talk of breaking the ice, but it would require a powerful fight of the imagination to even think of breaking the iceman.
