Speculation as to the Word " Yankee"
There is familiar poem, reciting the
tragic fate OF grasshopper attacked by
turkey, which runs thus:

A grasshopper sat on sweet-potato vino,
Sweet-potato vine, swoet-poiato vine,
big wild turkey came running up behind,
And yankcd the poor grasshopper
on the sweet-potato vine, sweet-potato vine."
This little classic is quoted by Pro-
fessor Skeat in his great chronological
Dictionary to illustrate the derivation of
the word Yankee. This he traces to the
verb "to yank," I. G., to jerk, Yankee,
therefore, meaning quick-moving, and
hence spry, smart, active. The same
verb in Dutch and German is "jagen.'

Dog or Snuff.

A Chicago woman travelling in the
South made good deal of fun of some
of the Southern women who dip snuff,
but when party Of them on a car saw
the Chicago girl kiss poodle dog on the
nose, and they all turned pale and put
their heads out of tho windows for fresh
air, the Northern girl began to reflect
that perhaps snuff was nearly as clean
ss the average dogs nose. Any way,
either Northern, or Southern man, il
he wanted to kiss O woman, would take
the snuff twice before he would take

Eliminating ola Issues.

Senator Ben Hill islvery anxious thst
all war issues and race issues should be
eliminated from our poiitics.s He says
the Importance of it must be seen by
every Intelligent and patriotic citizen of
the United States, and that no man has
been more open and undisguised than
he in the expression Of this opinion But
Mr.. Hill has his own way of eliminating
the war issues and race issues It can
never be done, he says, until we get rid
of the Republican party, which !" lives
by these issues and would pass away for
ever without them. ,,cl Precisely how he
is to get rid; OF the Republican party he
does notTlet sus know1 Possibly he Is
still pondering that problem rand has not
freached dissolution. Wepresume, how
ever, that none = Of his plans will
include -theg elimination a'ofg /. the
Democratic party asl accompaniment
or preliminary, since that organiza-
ton seems to him to be of so patri-
otic and beneficent q acharacter that the
country cannot afford TO lose it. And yet
the propositionthstthe Republican party
could not exist without the warsor race
issues raises ihvoluntarily the question
what particular issue the Democratic
party keeps alive on. y Il Is a little diff
cult to understand how the Republican
party can exist on issues upon which it
has no opponent or, II the Democratic
I party antagonizes IL on those issues, how
their elimination is dependent more on
the disappearance of the former than
OF the latter Doubtless Mr. Hill means
that the only way to be rid of the race
IND war issues is for the Republicans to
withdraw from the field and let the
Democratic view of these questions be
established. ,if f1'ig = ,ssrz
That will not happen at present
These issues will be best eliminated by
the disappearance from the field of con-
flict of the party that originally raised
them and placed them in the front of pol
'itics, that pressed them to Judgment in
the sfbitrament of arms, that was defeat
ed at every point and compelled to
yield, but which still holds ON to its or
| ganization in sullen discomfort while
confessing that all the objects for which
IL struggled have vanished. Mr.. Hill is
mistaken when he says the Republican
party lives by the race and war issues,
and with their elimination would disap-
pear forever. 1t lives to preserve the
Union it rescued from destruction; to
| do justice to the heroes who did the
work; to pay the debt incurred in do
| ing it; to maintain the credit it built up,
and keep the country in the foremost
| position among the nations of the
earth, where the wise counsels, the
courage, the labors and the sacrifices
of Republican statesmen have placed it.
The elimination of race and war issues
only waits the disappearance of the
party that originated them. for long
time lived on them, and now makes a
virtue Of eonfessing its final defeat upon
them. II these issues are settled, as
Mr.. Hin claims, it is for the defeated
party TO disappear and take them with
| Il, not for the successful party to go out
and leave them to spring up again

A Touching Incident.


Once upon q time young woman
unskilled in the ways of the world took
new dress to a fashionable dressmaker,
who promised to have il ready on a GER
tain day. When the owner of the dress
called for it then it was not. done, but
the dressmaker apologized and told her
it certainly would be done tomorrow.
Tomorrow came and the young wo-
man called, but it was not yet finished,
and the answer was the same as before:
alt will be done tomorrow"
Day after day, and year after year,
the woman went for her dress and all
the people in the neighborhood grew to
know her and there were many who
deeply pitied her as they saw the lines
of disappointment and hope deferred
craven on the once comely face; and
then they ceased to be interested, and
merely noticed, as time passed on, that
her form grew bent and her hair gray
as she turned sadly away from the in
evitable answer, sit viii be done to-mor-
row.
Then they missed the familiar face
and one day a young girl clad in deep
mourning raped at the dressmaker's
door, which was opened by the dress
maker herself; she, too, had grown old
anQ wore spectacieS On ner nose, ana
had pins and needles stuck all over her.
Is my grandmother dress done?"
asked the young girl, meekly. ssShe
died last week, or she would have come
after it herself"
"It's done all but finishing, - said the
dressInaker, looking up and down the
street with q far-away gaze; ssthere's
nothing to do but put the sleeves il, and
bind the neck and make a pocket, and

"sERYED HIW RIsHT.n

This will be the general verdict relative TO
the summary justice meted out to the brutal
wretch at Minneapolis. II is the most credit
able act Minneapolis ever performed. Every
parent in all this region will breathe easierto
know that so swift aud fatal penalty was in
flicted upon the brute.
The fatal defect is the leniencY OF our leg al
punishment for such crime. Until there is q
law making capital punishment the lowest
penalty FOR such crime, there is no safety or
protection for society save by such summary
vengeance as was reSorted to In Min
neapols. Mob law is never safe,
but 1t Is sometimes necessary. This
was case OF necessity. The safety of society
demanded punishment quick and severe The
work appears to have been done decently and
in good order. When men take law into their
own hands there is danger of great extremes
and the punishment Of an innocent person,
but in this case the identification was made
complete, and he was duly choked to death.
We trust another session of the legislature
will not adjourn without placing law upon
the statute books which will render summary
vengeance for such an ofiense unnecessary.

FLEECED AGAIN,
1t Was Done SO Slick Ihar He Did Not

Bond.

1t Was Done SO Slick Ihar He Did Not
Know Ho Was Fleeced, Bat He Got h
Bond.
There seems to be no end to the en- who allow
themselves to be feeced by that old, old bond game
This time the gentleman who parted with his money
for nothing but bogus bond, came from Water
town, WIS.,, and gave the name of John Simprick
He sal he left Minneapolis in the tran and while
he occupying q seat by himself total stranger
carelsssy but pleasantly took seat by the side Of
him, and opened conversation with Simprick and
finding out that the latter was from Watertown,
delighted. Of course he was. He had not seen
Wstertown man for long time, and 1t always de-
lighted him to meet any one from that town. Of
course Simprick much grati6ed to meet gentle
man that thought so much of Watertown and her
citizens. From that time everything was very
smooth between the two. The stranger had been
out west and had made good deal of money. The
northwest was the place to come to to make money.
With ths remark he took out number of one
thousand dollar bonds and hustled them around till
they looked as though there was million Of dollars
there. simpreck sdld not know there much
money in the world. just ct that moment the
stranger remembered that he had bill to pay, and
would be very much obliged TO MIR, Simpreckif he
would change ore one of those bonds. The latter
hal not loose money enough to Go that, but IL his
friend from WATERFOWL wanted to borrow little
money, he could lend 1t to him, The stranger was
gad of that and would be under obligations to him
II he would loan him $780,. simprick brought out
his money and passed over $3.50 to the stranger and
reluctantly took Of those pretty green one thou
sand dollar bonds of the Arizona Gold Mountain
Smelling company as security. After this the two
travelled considerable time together, when ths
stranger made excuse to leave the car for a
moment. To the surprise of Mr.. Simprlck he did
not return. Gradually 1t dawned upon him that be
had been swndled, but it too late. The gentle
man from Waertewn was far away and SO were
those Sl50. OF course he Informed the police, but
is was Of no avail. The swindler had disappeared
and Simprick could 90 nothing.
