The Flap.
The United States must, after all, bear
a charmed life. One day the wires carry
from the seat of government at Wash
ington the declaration that the presi
dent of these United States had or
dered the captured rebel flags stored at
Washington to be returned to those
from whom they had been captured.
The loyal element that labored and suf
fered so much during the Rebellion to
preserve the government from the
machinations of treason, along with the
hosts who were glad that these had con
quered in that struggle, were thrown
into a fever of excitement at once, and
expressions of discontent, of shame, of
indignation, and of outrage were not
slow in going forward to the chief ex
ecutive of the nation, who by this time
knew that a serious mistake had been
made, and the order was rescindod.
While we have never thought that
President Cleveland has shown any
proper appreciation of the services of
Union soldiers in the preservation of a
free government, we can give him the
credit due for correcting this mistake of
returning the relel Hags, a mistake
made, no doubt, in tho first place by an
over anxiety to conciliate the element in
this country that organized treason in
18G0, '01.
With this as with many another case
of trouble, there would not have been a
beginning had the law in tho matter
been consulted and followed, at the
first, as it was at the last, and this one
principle, subjection to law, must be
engraven in the very hearts of the peo
ple, and ploughed into tho fiber of every
man who holds office in this country.
The law of the land, that ia your guide
and mine, and let us help see to it that
all abide by it.
There is but one Hag in this country
that means government, and let it re
main. Whatever the rebel Hag ever rep
resented, let it continue as captured
bunting, on exhibition at Washington,
as a relic of attempted treason and
overthrow of the government. The
sight of it may deter some future Cal
houn from proclaiming statesrights,
and some future Jeff. Davis from or
ganizing a rebel government; even some
general, educated at public expense and
sworn to fealty to the United States may,
on sight of the. old rebel Hag, may con
tinue to be loyal to his country, as did
Old Pap Thomas, instead of following in
the footsteps of Robt. E. Lee.
We have one tlag, grand enough for
this whole country, for every part and
parcel of it let that Hag float in
triumph; let all others be kept in show
cases or laid away to rot out of the sight
of men. The rebels were defeated; let
the record stand. The patriotic mem
ories of 1861, '65 are not dead. The
momentous issues of that struggle are
not to le lightly turned aside, either
now or later along, under one pretense,
or under another. Hereafter, let us be
sure, as a people, that tho president of
tho United States, whom we choose to
enforce the laws, is heart-loyal, capable
of comprehending all the affairs of a
great people, and there will 1m no fear
that tho glorious "ensign of the repub
lic" will receive detriment from any
quarter.
At Iiot.
The Iuter-State Commerce Commis
sion has reached conclusions, under the
fourth section of the law which are here
given:
Firsl Prohibition in the fourth sec
tion against greater charge for shorter
than for long distance over tho same
line in the same direction, shorter being
included within longer distance, as
qualified therein, is limited to cases in
which circumstances and conditions are
substantially the same.
Two -The phrase under substantially
similar circumstances and conditions in
the fourth section is used in the same
sense as in the second section and under
the qualified form of prohibition in the
fourth section carriers are required to
judge in the first instance with regard
to similarity or dissimilarity in circum
stances and conditions that forbid or
permit greater charge for shorter dis
tance. Three Judgment of carriers in re
spect to circumstances and conditions
is not final, but subject to the authority
of the commission and courts.
Fourth - The provisions of section
one, requiring charges to be reasonable
and just, and of section two, forbidding
unjust discrimination, apply when ex
ceptional charges are made under sec
tion four, as they do in other cases.
The existence of actual competition,
which is of controlling force in respect
to traffic, is important in the amount
they make out of dissimilar circum
stances and conditions, entitling the car
rier to charge less for longer than for a
shorter haul over the same line in the
same direction, shorter being included
in longer in the following cases: First.
When the competition is with carriers by
water, which are not subject to the pro
visions of the statute. Second. When
the competition is with foreign or other
railroads which are not subject to the
provisions of the statute. Third. In
rare and peculiar cases where the com
petition is between railroads which are
subject to the statute when strict ap
plication to the general rule of the
statute would be destructive of competi
tion. Sixth The commission further de
cides that when greater chargo in aggre
gate is made for the transportation of
passengers or like kind of property for
longer than for shorter distance over the
same line in the same direction, shorter
being included in longer distance, it is
not sufficient justification therefore that
the traffic which is subject to 6uch
greater charge is way or local traffic, and
and that which is given more favorable
rates ia not, nor is it sufficient justifica
tion for such greater charge than short
haul traffic is more, expensive to the
carrier, unless under circumstances
such aa made it exceptionally expensive
or long haul traffic exceptionally inex
pensive, the difference being extraordi
nary and susceptible of proof, nor that
the lesser charge on the longer haul is
merely a continuation of favorable rates
under which trade centers or an indus
trial establishment has leen built up.
The fact that long haul traffic will only
bear certain rates is no reason for car
rying it for lees than cost at the ex
peiitie of other traffic.

Express Discrimination.
The express charges between Platte
Center and Omaha is $1 per cwt, and
between Omaha and Columbus only
fifty cents. Simply twice the amount
What is the result? Our merchant are
unfairly dealt with and forced to pay
highway-robbery prices whenever they
use the express company. But still
another point creeps in; a dray from
Columbus comes up and everybody "ex
presses back to Columbus all the butter,
eggs, and a great deal of miscellaneous
articles, and whole cargoes of beer kegs
for thirteen cents per cwt-" When the
dray reaches Columbus the freight it
carries is placed in the hands of the ex
press company at fifty cents per cwt.
By so doing our citizens save thirty
seven cents on each and every hundred
jioiinds. When a dray can compete with
an express company to the advantage of
seventy-five per cent for the shipper
there is something "rotten in Denmark,"
and the express company should clean

Washington Letter.
(From our regular correspondent.!
The President and his alter ego. Col.
Lamont, have returned from the breezy
lakes of the Adirondacks to find in the
Washington temperature a reminder of
winter. For two days it has been cool
enough for light overcoats, and the pro
cession to the seashore have been tem
porarily halted.
Two millionaires have been prominent
in local interests during the week. Jay
Gould made a flying unostentatious
visit here on his steam yasht, Atlanta.
The beautiful vessel was anchored
about a mile below the city while the
millionaire and his wife came ashore and
remained half a day driving to some of
the places of interest Mr. Gould, it is
said, is in search of health and recrea
tion. He improved the opportunity to
visit the tomb of Washington at Mount
i Vernon, and stood upon the bluff from
" which it is said that Washington
C il , ,.
threw a silver dollar to the Maryland '
shore, a full half mile distant. The Eng
lish Chief Justice Coleridge heard of this
fabulous feat when ho stood on the
same promntory three years ago, and
said he was not prepared to dispute it,
but if it wore so, it was evidence that a
dollar would go farther in Washington's
time than it would now.
Mr. Corcoran, the Washington million
aire and philanthropist, was stricken
with paralysis last week while seated at
the dinner table; death seemed inevit
able, for now the venorablo good man is
in his eighty-ninth year, but his re
covery has lieen rapid and remarkable,
and his physician says he hopes to have
him ready for his usual summer sojourn
at the White Sulphur Virginia springs,
within a week.
There has been a revival of talk in po
litical circles, about an extra session
during the week, but the better opinion
is that the President will not issue tho
call.
Mr. Carlisle is expected here lefore
long, and when he comes the situation
will be discussed between him aud other
members who will thengbe in the city,and
arrangements well be made more formal
conference, and possibly for a caucus a
little later. The indications are now
that the men who wish to take the tax
off of tobacco will have strength enough
to do so, and the only question is,
whether it will bo done under agree
ment or compromise with the tariff re
formers. Many of whom are among
those who want the tobacco tax re
moved, or by a coalition with the re
publicans. Tho difficulty the tobacco
men find in dealing with the latter is
that they will insist upon taking tho
duty off sugar, which Mr. Randall and
his followers aro opposed to. If tho
democrats agree timong themselves,
they can keep the duty on sugar.
A vigorous effort will bo made in the
coming Congress to have Inaugural day
changed from the 4th of March to tho
30th of April, tho day upon which
Washington was inaugurated. The pro
posed celebration of the centennial of
the adoption of the constitution has al
ready been much agitated. The Senate
at its last session passed a resolution in
its favor, and Congress is committed to
both this project and the celebration of
the four httndredth anniversary of the
discovery of America in 1892.
The infantry and artillery arms of tho
service have long had encampments in
the District, but tho cavalry branch of
the service has been kept busy on the
frontier. It is the intention of Gen.
Sheridan to station two cavalry com
panies here to take part in official pa
rades. The recent competitive drill so
much pleased the commanding general,
that be has determined to use his efforts
to have Congress make an appropria
tion for an annual drill to be held at
Washington under tho supervision of
officers of the regular army. Such a
drill wottld doubtless be effective in
promoting the efficiency and esprit du
carps of the many volunteer organiza
tions throughout the country, and it
would doubtless keep in training an ef
fective and well equipped small army
that would respond promptly in the
hour of need. It is against the genius
of our institutions and the policy of our
government to maintain a large army,
but as prudential measures we will do
well to keep alivo the military habit
and spirit. R.

Francis Marak. jr.. of Everest, Kan., the in
ventor of the appliance referred to, is here dis
Msin of territory, ami has made some sales of
counties.
The appliance is an ordinary drum except that
it is divided into apartments running the length
of the dram: one of these is virtually a contin
uation of the pipe, when the damper is not
turned, and makes a direct draft when desired
for starting a fire; when the damper is turned,
the partitions are so arranged that the heated air
and smoke go alternately upward and down
ward through all the apartments (usually five in
number, owing to tho relative size of pipeand
drum) and finally up the chimney. The princi
ple is precisely the same as that of the famous
Slennonite heating furnaces, and applied to cook
or heating stoves, utilizes a great deal more of
the heat evolved from the fnel than is done by
the ordinary drum. The pictures of progress
are these:
A fire, on the ground, under the open canopy
of heaven; two (tosts, a cross stick and the pot
of victuals hanging over the tire.
Second, the same, only a rude wall around, and
a rone-shaped, roof, with a hole in tho middle
for tho smoke to curl out at.
Third, the oien grate, in tho open fire-place, a
great portion of the heat escaping up the chim
ney into the outer air.
Fourth, the stove.
Fifth, the stove and drum, increasing the
amount of surface heated by the same fuel.
Sixth, the greatly improved drum, or Hadia.

penetrating heat from tho same amount of fuel;
forming a reservoir for heat except as it escais
through the metallic enclosure, anil what little
gets out through the chimney.

claims. It caused the kettle to boil and tho
oven to heat, quick, with one-half the fuel we
had been using without the Radiator. We got
breakfast with 10 corn cobs, and the oven was
hot enough to bake biscuits.

Absolute Cure for Rheumatism.
DrcasnuRo, Tenn.. Feb. 22, 1887.
Gentlemen: In 188:3 I had a severe
attack of rheumatism. It attacked mo
most in my arms and legs. The latter
wore drawn up, and when I could walk
I had to go all bent over. Finally I
went to Hot Springs, Ark., whore I re
mained several weeks. I was benefited
and thought I was well, and camo home.
On my arrival home it developed again.
I then took a course of S. S. S.. using
three dozen bottles. They thoroughly
cured me, and from that day to this I
have been perfectly, free from rheuma
tism. I regard S. S. S. ns absolute in tho
cure of rheumatism, and a perfect blood
purifier, I think it tho best medicine in
tho world, and if I can help it I never
expect to use any other. It is a splendid
general medicine, cleansing out the
system, and thus getting at the root of
most diseases. J. D. Carter.
