The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1884-11-15
Origin of the Word "Boss."

Boss" or to "boss," was, accor.
ding to some phiologists, originally
introduced into the new world by Irish
or Scottish emigrants, from the Gaelic
hos, the hand. The word is derived
from the Dutch settlers who first COZ.
onized New Amsterdam, first called
New York by the English when the
colony changed masters by coming in
to the possession of the British govern
ment. Baas. in the Dutch language,
signifies II master or the foreman ot II
workshop. Perhaps even the English
speaking population of the States, if
they had known that ''l",ss" was no
other than the Dutch fur master,
might, III their republican pride. have
repudiated the word and invented an,
other. -Exchange.

Sobriety Among Railroad Men.

From the Chicago News: There is
an enormously large number OF labor.
ing men who are practically ander
bonds to abstinence. This is particu-
larly true Of railway employees. The
situation was well expressed by loco
motive engineer few days since when
he said: Things have come to the
pass that railway managers have no
use for a man addicted to liquor"
This is true in exact proportion to the
ability of the management. The
Pennsylvania rules are extremely ar
bitrary upon this point The Chica-
go Il Northwestern general snperin~
tendent, when he hears that man is
indulging in drink, sends.for him, and
talks to him like father. If he re
forms, well; if not he is discharged.
Drinking while off duty is forbidden on
account of It's after effects. The same
thing is true of the Missouri Pacific,
and, in fact, of about all large roads.
The various "brotherhoods," such as
those of the locomotive engineers,
firemen and conductors, discourage
drink by every means IN their power.
An engineer discharged from the
brotherhood for Incorporate habits
cannot get job upon any railway in
the country. 1t is to be observed
further that the restraint exercised by
these forces is brought to hear upon s
peculiarly restless and energetic class
who, without it, would be among th,
! first to Weld.

Bread is about two cents Il pound
in England, while it sells at about
seven cents in Chicago and other
American cities. Yet the wheat of
which the English bread is made was
sent from Chicago. Wheat is ceeap>

yet bread keeps up to its high price
in the cities. A bread riot will be
the next in order.

From all parts Of the south the

From all parts ot the south the
news comes that the negroes are in
great fear that they will be remanded
back to slavery since Cleveland
election. 1t is so here in Milan, as
numbers of them have talked about
it to their white democratic friends.
There can he but one cause for this
useless scare. Unprincipled white
men-we know not whO-have GER
tainly instilled this outrageous lie into
their minds in order to secure their
votes for the republican ticket. The
negro naturally looks to southern
democrats for every comfort Of life,
but when he comes to vote he, almost
without exception, votes against his
best friends. We trust that he will
soon be convinced that the republi-
cans have told him nothing hut lies
ever SlHCS lHo war, witch ne uuNS tndl
he will enjoy as tullaliberty under "a
democratic administration as he did
under the republican government
The truth is, we don't know of de-
cent white man in America who wants
them enslaved again, aud even if the
whole south did want it, the north
and the balance of the world would
not allow it. The negro can rest
quietly on this question, for we speak
what we know to lie true when we
say that the southern people wouldn't
accept them as slaves even if they
were to voluntarily offer themselves.
In the meantime, if anybody else tells
you these lies, set him down as a
sneaking liar, too low for you tC
associate with.
