WHAT WILL THEY DO WITH IT? Atlantic City Can't Decide Abont the

Cape May Banner.

Prom the Atlantic City Frees. Tbe dty officials are confronted with a serious problem, and. while it to hoped to avoid an open conflict, nothing but tbe most delicate diplomacy will avert hostilities. It will be remembered that onr courteous guest* 'rom Cape Mar recently preadnted this dty with a stand of colors carried by them in the big Jubilee parade of tost Saturday. At abont tbe same time tbe dty treated Itself te a municipal flag Beth of these emblems are of fine silk and of a delicate tint of bine. And over those points hover the black cloud* of discord. Mayor 8toj, proud of the banners, wishes to keep them unenllied by dirt and nn dimmed by sunlight. To this end be protests that they should be carefully. folded and placed in a "dark box," to be disturbed and unfolded only on another occasion of municipal rejoicing. Other official*, however, declare that the banners should be displayed to tbe reverent admiration of tbe citizens and tbe - visitors and to this end Should be placed in a case under glass. That to tbe issue. The Mayor U firm, and so are the other officials. No harsh words have yet been spoken, but the entente cordiale, as the diplomats say, to a bit strained and in danger of being boated higher ’n a kite. Bnt diplomacy may win out yet, aad all good dtisens will prey tor

that consummation.
