cultural wealth, commerce, manufacturers
fine arts--in short, it has achieved such
progress in all that contributes to the So
cal happiness and scientific enlightmcnt
of the world as should give us just pride
in challenging friendly comparison. We
have no feudal castles, whose mute keeps
and towers, crumbling and grown with
the moss of centuries, confront us with
our rude but heroic ancestry no antique
monastic piles nor kingly palaces, stored
with sad legends of misguided zeal or
despotic oppression. But better far, we
can point to the places where cities rise
and the navies of peaceful, thrifty COM
merce exchange the commodities OF all
nations, saying, here only little while
ago Natures solitude was undisturbed
save by the uncivilized and unthriity In
dian; to Lowell and Lewiston, Pittsburg,
Chicago, San Francisco; to the granite,
lime and slate of Maine, the varied manu-
features of Massachusetts, Connecticut
and New York, the gold. silver, copper,
coal and iron mines OF California, Nevada,
Michigan, Pennsylvania, Missouri, the
granares of the West, and cotton, rice
and sugar of the South; to the railroads
and telegraphs linking State to State, and
ocean to ocean in close communion across
the broad face of the continent; to the GU
rous and useful works ofinventive genius
and last but not with least satisfaction,
their benefits to all without distinction of
rank or condition. the colleges, the schools
of science, the humanitarian institutions
for the unfortunate to all these we can
point with patriotic pride, as achievements
without parallel in the worlds history
but with pride not unmingled with graft
tude to God, whose favor has so distin.
guished US.
SO favored and SO prospered, should
the opportunity be lost to mark our hun
dredth birthday by some suitable observ-
ance? There can be but one answer.
No, Such an observance is due to our
noble country, due to her industrious mil
lions of people, due to the spirit of the
age as exhibiting itssuperiority in achieve
ment and rewards overthose earlier times.
There is also much force in the suggestion
that an occasion like this will greatly con-
tribute to eradicate the Improbable bitter
ness created in the late strife, by the op-
portunities for intercourse it will afford.
Such result would be mutually adv ANITA
geous.
As to how the work shall be accomplish
ed and the means provided, men may diff
fer; but that it should be done in some
way, few if any, will contend; and though
/ Congress has seen fit to refuse an appro-
pration, it must not be concluded that it
is fatal to the enterprise. Other methods
will doubtless be tried, with better uccesss,
which will perhaps be quite as well under
all the circumstances

The inhationists have triumphed in
passing the finance bill through the Sen
ate. They patched and pared the original
bill until it suited them, and now it goes
to the House where it will undoubtedly re-
ceive passage, after which it must stand
the scrutiny of President Grant, who will
be careful we think to sign no bill that
will farther demoralze the currency.

POLITICAL.

The New York Commercial Advertiser
thinks that the veto has made President Grant
stronger with the people than at any previous
period in his administration.
The senatorial question was settled by the
democratic caucus of the Connecticut legsla-
ture Wednesday evening, w. w. Eaton re-
ceiving 81 of the l57 votes cast on the infor-
nal ballot. The nomination was then made
unanimous
The whole South and West is not suffering
A New York business man writing from Gal
weston, Texas, says: "IIere they know not
paper money, nor the meaning of the word
initiation. Their halves and quarters chink
across the counter, and they sell their cotton
for coin and at coin prices"
From a report of the Comptroller of the
Currency sent to Congress, it appears that
the circulation has been distributed among
GIL banks in thirty different States, SIC, 000,-
banks organized prior to July 1870, and $685.
600 900 to banks organized since that time.
The whole number of applicants received for
the organization Of national banks is GO, rep
rssenting about $40, 1000, 900 capital. OF these
applications 10. representing $4,000, 900
capital, were granted, but the applicants
never completed their organizations. Eighty
three applications, representing 100000
were filed for future consideration. Two
hundred and nine informal letters of inquiry,
representing $40 ,000 900, and POS appica-
tons, which stated neither the amount of cap.
ital nor of circulation desired are at present
on file. The Comptroller explains the cir
cumstances attending the distribution Of cir
culation, which have been substantially given
heretofore. He thinks the whole of the circu-
lation would have been issued during the year
1872, if it had not been for the panic. He
further states that even if the whole amount
of circulation had been issued it would not
have been in his power without supplemental
ry legislation to withdraw circulation from
the States in excess in time to supply the de-
mands from the States which were deficient,
and calls attention to the bill now pending
giving him the necessary authority for such
redistribution.

told him his tale was too thin, and that
he had better sit down with me and get

got home sent for the policeman in
charge OF the lookup, and asked him
what the matter was. He said, Just
nothing at all, except that friend of
one of those "sbysterous" kind Of fell
lows had got into the lookup. This
is the first time ever heard the word
used.
After the word shysterous was fire.
quently used by the policemen. Then
came the word shyster TO designate the
whole class Of lawyers who are out of
job, and do not care where they get it.
1t was never used in criminal sense.
1t has got now to apply to all that class
of lawyers who take cases upon the con-
dition that they shall have no pay IL
they lose, and shall share largely in the
profits if they win. 1t would apply to
all that class of attorneys who hunt up
flaws in land-titles, right of dover, etc.
This is the true definition OF the word,
as used for its origin down to the pres
ent day. 1t applies to SHY lawyer"
who is shysterous fellow, but won't
write "shyster'' on his sign. 1t more
particularly applies to a lawyer who
would rather go into the Police Court for
practice than TO starve or do anything
dishonorable.
The Chicago Democrat, when / pub
lished it, frequently called different per-
sons who were making me trouble about
the Police Court, shysters. 1t did not
seem to hurt them much or injure their
/ feelings. One of them afterwards told
rue he thought it brought him business,
and one of them afterwards got into the
| Legislature.

What "Shyster" Means.
TFron The Chicago Times. !

Learning that the Hon. John Went
worth first made use of this word at the
time when he was mayor and proprietor
of the Chicago Democrat, a reporter of
the Times, on last evening, repaired 10
the gentleman's quarters at the Sherman
House and was put into possession of
the full facts regarding the parentage
of this disputed title. The explanation
of the circumstances which gave rise to
it show cOnclusively that it never has
rightfully borne the opprobious inter-
pretations that have been given il by
some, but it is use more in the way of
playful ridicule. The following account
is in Mr.. Wentworth's own language:
Shyster is derived from the English word
shy. When / was mayor the lookup and
Police Court were under the courthouse.
When we would make any arrests of
gamblers, harlots, etc., there were
class of lawyers about the Court
House that would look over the books
and see whose names were registered.
They would, unbekuown to the police
men, get inside and see if there was any
body they knew who had been arrested.
Then they would climb up and peek
through the CRATES. They would carry
messages to their friends to come and
get them out on special bail. When
we made large arrests, these fellows
were so of1icious that we could hardly
tell them from the criminals. Some
times when we had a large number of
arrests, they would steal into the lock-
up before the prisoners were sent in, so
as TO be better able to get a client.
They were always very shy OF the DO
lice. IL a policeman came anywhere
near them on such occasions, thev
would run. They were always sitting
around, and in the way, watching,
carrying messages, and trying to find
out when raids were going to be made,
and then go and tell of it before the po-
lice could get there. neday / saw one
of these fellows talking to some gam
blers who were arrested, through the
CRATES. pulled him away and he sued
me for assault and battery before JUS
tice Hickey. Hickey gave judgment by
default for S25. Never heard what be- |
came of the judgment. From the police |
calling these men the syhest in the world, |
came the word shysters, givin by the |
German policemen, who did not know /
the meaning of it. / was down in the /
church one evening, and one Of them |
came to my pew and said there was
very nice gentleman had been arrested /
