Wriggling Over Pronunciation.

One or two Texan papers appear
to wish to revive the question wheth-
er a citizen of Texas should be call
ed a Texan or Texan. Some forty
years ago the latter term was gen
orally used, but custom has long
since settled down in favor of Texan.
There is no precise rule applicable
in the case, and some smart philolo
gist may yet get law passed to
change the spelling of the name, as
has been done in a neighboring State
where Arkansaw has been made to
take the place of Arkansas. That
State, however, neglected to say
whether its citizens should be called
Arkansawers or Arkansawyers.
Webster says sawyer is corruption
of saver, and a new law may be
necessary to fix the correct thing as
TO the name of citizens Of our sister
State, il not for those of Texas.
There was once soldier poet of
Texas who wrote the word Texicans
to make it rhyme with Mexicans.
The San Antonio Times says "a num-
Der OF Arkansians," etc. This seems
to be hardly as fit word as either
Texans or Texans.

THE Californian for October
is received. Its contains the begin
ming of a new story by Joaquin Mil
Ter, "One of the World Builders, "
which is overstrained in his usual
style, but which will interest those
who are fond of the hypocritical
stories of early days. "Crabb's ex,
petition into Sonora" is historical
and interesting. There is also a
pleasant sketch of the life of the late
Samuel Williams. An article on
Comets gives, in roundabout way
the different theories of their motion
and substance, and leaves the reader
to draw his own conclusions. The
story $40 and So" is concluded,
much to the rejoicing of the critics
and tie sorrow of the old fellows
who love to remember the heroes
they saw, and to think they were
there themselves. The usual supply
of short stories and poetry fills up
the number and makes it very inter
esting, and well worth the price of
subscription.

1T Is TOO SOON.

1t is too soon for Republican pa
pers to begin complaining about the
course of President Arthur. He has
the disastrous effects of the actions
of three predecessors who adopted a
policy antagonistic to the sentiments
of a majority of theil party, and as
Mr.. Arthur is a man of experience
in dealing with business men, and
consequently has acquired habits OF
adapting himself to circumstances
and subordinating his personal feel
ings to the necessities of circum
stances, he is not likely to make any
change in government affairs which
would promote bitter feelings among
tn, supporters of the administration
of Mr.. Garfield. He will doubtless
remember that his accession was &C.
cidental, and knowing that Garfeld's
course and advisors were approved
of by majority, will probably allow
things to remain substantially as they
were. As the man who will be held
accountable he is entitled to have
for advisors men between whom and
himself there are no personal enme
ties. These he can easily secure
without having to go to those who
opposed Mr.. Garfield, and until it is
seen that he intends to allow him
self to be influenced by these stall
warts, who showed that they were
willing to destroy the party they
could not rule, it is but just to with
hold criticism. He is now President,
and until there is evidence that his
personal feelings are debating his
policy, he will receive the support of
all who think more of the good of
the whole than of political differ
ences.

Tug method of advertising
adopted by a kidney and liver cure
man in New York, who owns an OBJ
servatory, is ingenious and success
full, as he manages to get his circulars
printed as news 10y almost all the
careless newspapers in the country.
His last scheme, however, is scanda-
lous. The Associated Press, which
may be in his pay, has tclegraphed
q silly story about a comet making
its appearance at the exact moment
of the Presidents death. The wise
patent medicine astronomer also says
"that four comets are now visible,
which is unusual, if not portentious."
This is all given as general news for
the benefit of quack doctor, who
sells liver pills, and who is willing
to take advantage of the Presidents
death to advertise his business.

Religious Poker Playing.

"We've been havin' a mint of
trouble in our church," sighed a
New Lot farmer, as he laid twelve
pound onion on the managing edit
or's desk. "It's the most serious
difficulty we've had, and we got to
get new parstor. Do you know of
| parstor out of job?"
"What's the trouble about?" asked
the editor.
"Why, you see, there was Deacon
Skutch got to backslidin' and playin'
keerds. His son had just come from
the West, and got him to playin' an
we coulden't break him OFT. Every
thing else about him was all right
but that, but we didn't know how to
work him away from his idol. We
wrestled with him, but it was nc use.
He said he knew it was all wrong,
but he couldn't swear off no how.
FINALLY we deacons proposed to the
parstor to play Deacon Skutch a
game of poker whether he should
quit or not, and the parstor said he
was willing to do what he could for
the erin soul; so they got up a
game. We deacons were there to
see that it was proper, and they start
ed in"
"Didn't the minister stake any
thing on the game?'
"Hold GU till tell you. That's
what Deacon Skutch wanted 10
know. He SAID he was putting in
everything, and he wanted some-
thing to play for. AS the parstor
said all right, he'd put up religion
against he deacon's ungooIiness, so
that if the deacon won he'd be in
my way. The deacon dealt and call
ed the parstor to ante. The parstor
looked at his hand and anted up The
dactrine OF Original Sin. This was
before the draw. The deacon made
it good with promise never TO play
for money, and the parson took two
keerds. He had three mines and he
got pair o. tours. The deacon drew
three keerds, and, beln' his bet, he
Clipped in an agreement never to
play on Sunday. The parson seen
him with Total Dcpravity and raised
him to the extent of Justification by
Faith"
"Let me understand this" said
the editor. "Suppose the parson
lost?"
"Theu he wasn't to preach them
things any more. They'd belong to
the deacon. Well, the deacon pom
dered bit and then he sees the
raise with promise not to even play
for drinks, and raises again with a
pledge to leave the keerds at home
when he went to prayer meetin'. We
seen he was gettin' scarf, and the
parson went for him. He seen his
raise with Baptism and hoisted him
with the doctrine OF Atonement. 1t
began to look as though the parstor
would fling him without a show
down, cause we thought he was
raisin' him out. But the deacon
came back with an agreement to play
nothing but old maid, and elevated
the pot with contract to not even
play that more than once week.
Then the parson lifted in. he seen
him with Torments OF the Damned,
and raises him to the limit with the
whole Orthodox Creed. That made
the deacon scratch his head, but he
could just see him aud call him with
a solmn oath never never to touch
another keerd, and they dropped
their hands"
How did they come out, asked the
excited editor"

cARELESS - IA NyPLOSLHES.

Two serious accidents caused by the careless
Use of explosives in blasting have occurred
within the city limits during the past year.
The one which shook the walls and shattered
the windows of many blocks of dwellings on the
East Side on Monday was by great good luck
followed by no fatal consequences, but its
effects were so destructive that the escape of
the wOrkmen and the people in the nelghbOr-
ing buildings seemed marvellous. Blasting
operatIons in the upper districts of the city arc
"A necessary feature of preparing the ground for
the erection of buildings. Much of that section
of the island is a rock formation with but little
.urface soil. In the cutting of streets, the
trading of the lots and the excavation of
cellars a great deal of powder or other cxplo-
siye material has to be used to break up the
rock Rarely is there any police supervision of
the work. When charge is ready to be fired
thc foreman directing the labOrers warns
pasSers- by and directs his men to get out of the
WAY of the flying fragments. Sometimes a
niece of stone is projected through The walls of
a ncighboring building, but this is an accident
which disconcerts only the unfortunate occu-
pants and there have been cases where people
have been killed who were supposed to he at a
safe distance from the blast but coroners'
iurics are never strict in fixing the response
bility r'such mishaps
Is il not time to pat a stop to the risk to
human life from the ignorance and foolhardi-
ness of workmen in handling and firing explo-
sives by some strict municipal regulations pro-
yiding for proper supervision of all blasting
operations within the cityP The contractor
about to begin blasting might be required to
rive notice to the police authorities, and some
person with knowledge of the nature of ex-
plosives might he sent to oversee the operation
and enforce rules to guard against casualties.
People are restrained from shooting off Ere
arms within the city limits, but there seems TO
be no hindrance to the careless use of dynamite
and giant powder.

MUSIC And THE DRAMA.
CHAMBER MUSIC IN STICK HALL.

CHAMBER MUSIC IN STECK HALL.
A concert of delightful chamber music was given
last night in Steck Hall by the Standard Quartette
Club, assisted by Mr.. Hermann Rietzel. The club
has been before the public for season
or two and it is gratifying to find that
the death of Mr.. NacNartn, who was
its generous and high-minded patron from tho
date Of ITS organization until his death last May
has not resulted in its disruption II is composed of
Herman Brandt, Max Schwarz, George Matzka aud
Frederick Be-gner all leading members of the Phil
harmonic Society, and it has consistently followed
from the beginning, the principles which ought to
govern public performances of chamber music

this high class of music is a small concoTt-room and
this limits the number of listeners il is PLAIN that
