The Flag for Americans.
Kier Hardie, the British labor leader,
made a speech in New York the other
day in which he alluded enthusiastical-
ly to an emblem which he described as
“the red flag of Socalism and universal
brotherhood.” If Mr. Hardie is under
the impression that any considerable
poition of the population of this coun-
try are ready to uphold the scarletsym-
bol of Socialism he is laboring under a
grave mistake, and the sooner he cor-
rects his views the better.
American citizenship, Whether it is
lilo citizenship of the employer, the
wage earner or the farmer, knows only
one flag, and that is the Stars and
Stripes. The standard of Communism
and Anarchy is not popular in the
United States, however it may be re-
garded by the masses of the European
monarchies. The flag which every
loyal American, native or naturalized
honors, and for which every loyal
American is willing to fight if need be,
has no kinship with socialistic theories
or the destruction of those property
rights and personal liberties which are
the surest safeguards of labor.
The American people have had plenty
of opportunities to choose other sym-
bols. Great Britain tried to force the
flag of St. George upon them; and
they engaged in two destructive wars
to establish the supremacy of the ban-
ner of liberty in the New World. The
Southern slaveholder set up the barred
standard of the Confederacy, and the
nation fought for four years to trample
it in the dust and raise the flag of Wash-
ington and Lincoln over it.
A few day’s careful study of the his-
tory of this Bieilllulld will convmce Keir
Hurdle that his fervent commendation
of the red rag of Socialism in the Uni-
ted States is not only useless but high-
ly ridiculous.
New Election Laws-'
Now that the date for the annual
local elections in Connecticut is ap‘
preaching, interest is beginning to de-
velop in the election laws which were
passed by the recent legislature. The
secret ballot law of 1889 was re-enacted
with some amendments, modifications
and additions. One of the important
changes renders a person, not expressly
authorized, who shall have in his po.«
SCSSlL-Li nu cflicial envelope or who has
anything to do with a forged official.
envelope or a forged ofiicial ballot,
liable ton penalty that will make his
hair stand on end. ‘
A corrupt practICes act was passed,
although it is not very dangerous.
Under it every candidate for office is
required, within ten days after election,
to file in the town clerk’s ofiice a sworn
and itemized statement of his election
expenses and campaign contributions.
No person or candidate is permitted to
makea campaign contribution except
to the treasurer of a political commit-
tee, or to a political agent. A political
agent is a person designated by any
candidate at any election, convention
or caucus to be such by a writing filed
'with the town clerk. A candidate may
act as his own political agent. The
treasurers of political committees, as,
well as candidates, are required to file,
under oath, detailed statements of ex-
penditures. '
By an amendment to the woman
school suffrage law a woman cannot be
registered as a qualified voter unless
she makes application to the town clerk
at least five days prior to the election.
Another law provides that the vote
upon the question of licensing the sale
of spirituous and intoxicating liquors
in any town shall be by secret ballot.
The secretary of the state is directed to
furnish official ballots and envelopes.
By another law ability to read Eng-
lish is made a qualification for admis-
sion to the privileges of an elector, but
. this requirement does not apply to any
person who has been heretofore admit-
ted as an elector in the state
The use of the Myers automatic bal—
lot machine or the McTammany vat-
ing machine at local elections is ren-
del‘red permissable. .
These are the chief general laws
which the recent general assembly
passed with reference to elections.
Reunion.
The annual reunion of the surviving
members of the 17th. Begt. C. V. was

business meeting was held in the pay.
llion on the grounds and was called to
order by 001. Henry Huss, of Mt. Ver-
non, N. Y. The president of the asso-
ciation, Isaac Mead, was absent and
Vice President Edgar Buttery was call-
, ed upon to preside. John H. Porter
of Bridgeport acted as secretary. After
‘1 reading the minutes of the last reunion
, the treasurer’s report was submitted and
. accepted. It showed a balance on hand
l of $64.75. The following officers were
{ then elected for the ensuing year.

. George Phillips; E., Rufus Wakeman;
i F., Oscar Smith; EL, Enos Kellogg;
I., W. I. Finch; K., John E. Cable.
The meeting was attended by about
150 veterans and their families. John
H. Porter, who has held the office of
secretary for the past seven years, “as
tendered a vote of thanks for his valu-
able services in behalf of the associa-
tion and was renominated for the office,
but declined, as he has not the time to
perform the duties required. After the
meeting adjourned the veterans and
their families proceeded to the dining
pavilion where ample justice was done
to the elaborate spread that had been
prepared for them.

To Preserve Shade Trees.
The last general assembly having
enactedalaw for the preservation of
shade trees on highways, Secretary T.
S. Gold, of West Cornwall, Conn, has
secured a supply of spikes and washers
which he will furnish to all who may
apply ina proper manner for them.
The spikes will be furnished free of
cost except for the expense of trans-
portation.
These spikes will be driven into the
tree to be preserved on the side of the
travelled path or roadway, at a point
notless than four nor more than six
feet from the ground. I
The head of the spike will bear the
letter “C ” The nails will be renewed
when destroyed.
The penalty for defacing any trees
thus marked will be not less than fif-
teen nor more than one hundred, dol-
lars, or imprisonment not less than ten
or more than thirty days.
The trees to be preserved are desig-
nated by city and town officials.
EPIDEMIQ or BURGLARS.
“Universal Appropriators" Are Hard at
‘Vork In Elizabeth.
ELIZABETH, N. J., Aug. 30.—Burglars
broke into the office of the Grasscli Chem-
ical works, at Tramlcy, on Staten Island
sound, and blew open the safe with dyna-
mite.
Superintendent Frazer of the Grasseli
company asserts that the thieves failed to
secure any valuables, but it is said from
outside sources that ca. large quantity of
platinum was stolen. A year ago the
place was robbed and platinum stolen.
Burglars broke into the house of John
J. Schanze, 366 Morris avenue, through a
back window. The thieves ransacked the
entire house, securing a. quantity of booty.
a pocketbook containing a. good sum of
money and a gold watch from the pocket
of Mr. Shunzc, who lay asleep in the room.
The thieves then went to W. W. Chester’s
house, on Stiles street, and stole a quan-
tity of clothing, etc. The barn was also
entered and harness stolen.
It was reported that the thieves had
been captured in Jersey City and held
with their spoils for identification.
Attempts, it is said, were made by the
robbers to enter other houses in the vicin-
ity and distant parts of the city. It is
thought that the thieves are the same
gang that operated in the city six weeks
ago.
True, Perhaps, but Press Agent-y.
