WHO'S a FE0osIERe
How the Ter4a Originated and
why ii Applies o EndianIans.

A story is told by one If the old
residents of the State to the effect
that the word was first applied to
Indlanians about the time when
Madison was the center of large
pork trade ard the farmers fer a
hundred miles around would drive
their hogs there in great droves
The peculiar noise that they kept
up in driving the swine-sounded
smelling like Hoo-ie! hoo -iel
hoo led to their being called,
! by corruption Of The sonnd, Hoo
siers." The story, if true, would
make the origin OF the word COM
paratively regent, and it cannot he
accepted with credence for the reas-'
on that the pa.my porkopoly days
Of Madison were long after the
Hoosiers had become Known.
The first that is known of the
word appearing in print was in 1880,
when John Finley, the Wayne coun>
ty poet wrote New Years poem
for the journal, entitled "iIoosier's
Nest" IN which a description of the
pioneer cabin in Indiana is given.
The poem, in the light of ,hc tradi
tional stories, gives something of an
idea of the manner in which the
word first came into use. The first
few ines read:
I'm told in riding somewhere West,
a stranger found Hoosier's mes >"
In other words, n Buckeye cabin,
just big enough to hold Queen Nab in
rs siiuation-low hut airy
Was on the boz ders of prairie;
AID, fearing he might b. benightod,
lie hailed the house and then alsghted.
The hoosler met him at the door,
Their salutatiins we're soon DER.
1t was the custom among The
early pioneers in Indiana travelling
through the country to hail n cabin
by calling out, "Nho lives here?'
and who's here?" About the time
of the treaty of peace with the Ins
oiSiAS III 1910 anu HGn tAC kidlS
was very sparscly settled, travel
was attended by great dangers, and
no man ever rode away from home
without his rife. AS com mon pres
caution of safety, when a traveller
saw in The distance the smoke from
camp or cabin fire, he would call
out, upon coming within hearing
distance, WHO'S heIe?" and from
the response he would know if he
was among friends. From a cor>
ruption of this form of salutation
the people of Indiana were called |
Hoosiers. Doubtless, s,ttlers, in
writing back to their friends at their
old home would say that they "were
here among the Hoosiers," and in a
few years the appellation sprang
into general use. Gen w II Ii Ters
rell, whose researches in the early
history of Indiana have been very
thorough, and who may be accepted
as authority, SAYS that this is the
true origin of the word, and Govern,

THERE is peculiar and an inier>
esting strife going on within The
domestic precincts of the Demo

inconsistencies seem to appear on
the surface, though, as 10 the fact,
there is nolbing inconsistent with
the conduct Of the party for several
years, which bas all along apparent

great party should go to the head
eff governmental affairs with but
selfish motives is not in the nature
of political economy any more than
it Is in the nature OF moral economy
that he who despoils his neighbor's
characters the happier man, or is
in the right
This strife Is over The "old ticket"
and the apparent Inconsistency les
in the fact that the party claims to

properly, perhaps, for a tariff for
revenue only, while The "old ticket
means tariff for protec ion of the

spectacle of great free trade parry

tacle is entirely consistent with the
later history of that party, which is
one of struggle for Office rather than
than struggles for the development
of great principle which, in the
nature of things, should prevail for
the more perfect development of the
rights and Liberties of great and
free people.
What is a party? It is simply

there is nothing to build pa.ty

Jrsr why an American citizen

JusT why an American citizen
should not enjoy all the political
privileges of a free" land in one
part of 1t as well as III another, is Il
matter that our National Lcgisla-
tire should look to, and would do
so, If it were not run by lot of
Office seeking dem agogues that
woulsi give more to be IN a petty
Office than to see a nation free That
the people of a Territ. ry are not al
lowed to exercise their sutfrages in a
Presidential election, that they can
not have voice in the law making
of the land is danning disgrace to
a nation that pretends to be .'freen
and boasts of the freedom of Its
people. Haunting the shallow pre-
tense in the face Of the world, while
in fact the Russian serf under the
most "menarchic" government in
the civilized world has just as much
voice in naming his monarch as has
the boosted free" American citizen
in a Territory of the United States
in naming his President. Let poll
ticians. let Congress, let party look
for nothing from the people of he
Territories till this dissraeeful
wrong has been righted and the
country made indeed what political
buncomb would make the world be-
licve it is.
