INDIAN NAMES.

A subscriber asks if KenOsha be an
Indian name, what is its Specification
in Englishp 1t is unquestionably an
Indian name. The Indian pronuncia-
ton, tradition tells us, was Kenose-ce-
pc; the last two syllables meaning river
or water. Forty-eight years ago, Dea-
con William Seymour was the oecu-
pant of public house or tavern on
Pearl street, in this city, on the sign
board of which were the words Kenose-
cope House. Deacon Seymour said
he had obtained the Specification of the
name above given from an Indian
chief, who had long been familiar With
this section of the country. Wisconsin
has drawn more largely on Indian
names than any other state in the
Union. Whoever will take the pains
to look over the names of towns, cOun-
ties and cities in this state, will find
large number of them presumably In
dian. Several of the cities on the
western shore of Lake Michigan have
what are called Indian names. Rev.
Jason Lathrop, one of the first settlers
who in early times wrote history of
this place, published in one of the vol
umes of the State Historical Society,
gives the traditional history of the
name subsequently as stated above.
At a later period this place was called
Southport, which was a highly appro-
pirate name, being the southeastern.
most town On the lake shore in the
state. A recent writer in one of our
popular monthlies contends that what
are called Indian names never origin
ated with the race of men found in
this country on its discovery; that an
unlettered and savage people were in
capable of originating names so eupho-
NOUS and pleasing to the ear. A great
number of examples are given of words
which must have emanated from a
highly cultivated and refined people.
Such names as Tallahassee, Tuscaloosa,
Minnehaha. Minneapolis are unlike the
rough and dissonant utterances of say.
age tribes. The writer argues that the
harmonious and musical names that
pass for Indian have been transmitted
from a nation or people long since lost
| in history, and Of whom no traces re-
main in art or civilization, except the
few euphonious words which have es.
capped obliteration and been preserved
by the aLoriginces on this continent
The reader may regard this theory as
he pleases; it probably cannot be
proven true, nor can it be shown false,
In some states, particularly the state
of New York, the obtainment of names
| for towns and cities was in another d.
rection. There cannot be found an old
Roman or Greek name of distinguish
ed poet, general CT philosopher which
has not been appropriated for the
name of some town in the Empire
state. If these names have any adyan-
tage it is because they have 'aclassic
reminder, while The Indian names have
no ineligible historic associations.

and we can readily see how it would
simplify their system Of time tables.
No other business requires so much
dealing with clock time. and so great
accuracy. A mistake is easily made of
the same hour of A. M. for p. NJ. or
0tcG CeTSG; but under the 24-o'clock
system there need be no liability to
such errors. The present method is
awkward and clumsy. We tolerate it
because we have been accustomed to it,
and have known no other system of
reckoning time. The inconvenience
resulting from the change would be
slight, and but temporary. In the
course of a few weeks we would be-
come accustomed to it, and, once adopt
ed, We would wonder how We had
tolerated the old system SO long.
Clocks and watches could be easily
adapted to the change.
In astronomical calculations the sys-
tenn is altogether in use, and the hands
of the astronomical clock makes but
one revolution in "a hours on 24-hour
dial.
This system has been adopted by the
Canadian Pacific Railroad, and is in
successful operation, and their time
tables are printed to correspond.
We do not now recall the origin of
the system to twice twelve hours for a
day; but if convenience or necessity
at the time of its adoption, like other
old systems and practices, it has oat-
lived its day of necessity, and is event.
ually bound to be superseded by sys-
tenn more convenient and more in &C.
cordance with the progress of the age.

CHRISTIAN UNITY.

Since the holding of the great relig-
lous conventions in Chicago, a few
weeks ago, the subject of christian
unity has occupied considerable space,
not only in the religious press. but has
also received attention from many of
the leading newspapers. The late
movement for christian unity of the
different divisions of Professionalism is
largely due to the general convention
of the Protestant Episcopal church
assembled in Chicago It is signif-
cant fact that the first overtures for
greater unity between great religious
bodies should come from the christian
church which has hitherto been regard
ed as the most conservative, and asl
standing aloof from other christian
bodies. No one can doubt the express
sions in that convention for broaderl
fellowship and a more united actionj
were sincere and earnest. Amongl
other acts of that convention looking
towards broader catholicity was the
appointment of standing committee
on "Christian Unity" whose duty will
be to hear and consider suggestions on
that subject, and report to the next
triennial convention of the church.
In minority report, signed by distin-
guished members of the convention. |
the terms of union with other christian
bodies were given as follows: The
Episcopal church is willing to receive |
into union any christian body using
any liturgy that has been used by any
branch of the apostolic church in any
age and who will give pledges to four
points: First, that they accept the
definitions of faith as set forth by the
general councils. Second,
that they will have ministry of apos-
tolical succession, either absolutely or
conditionally. Third, that their men,
bers will receive confirmation at the
hands of bishop. Fourth, that they
will use only valid forms in the admin
istration of the sacraments. The re-
port explains that the names, organiza-
lions, rules, discipline, government
and distinctive features of denomina-
ions may be retained as may be de-
tired. 1t is probable that these condi-
ions viii not be acceptable TO the non .

CAN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS BE
IMPROVED.


This is a question which is now re-
ceiving the attention of many friends
of education in this country Outlaws
carefully exclude religious or Bible in
struction from the public schools, and
sound morality is sparingly taught,
lest it conflicts with the prohibitory
provisions of the statute against relig-
ious instruction. Almost every days
observation goes to show the danger
of neglecting moral education in the
public schools. Teachers whose aim is
to train those committed to their charge
in knowledge of the sciences, as found
in the school books of the present day,
seem to forget that without moral cul.
ture true usefulness and manliness
will be wanting. The school boy or
girl without moral training will not be
half educated, or perhaps in many in.
stances it would have been as well if
not educated at all: The services of
too many teachers is judged by the
number of scholars they force up to
a graduating standard during given
time. A student may graduate with
honors, while at the same time all the
nobler faculties are left unimproyed.
Moral training in the public schools is
not what superfcial-minded people call
sectarian teaching. The general code
Of morals for the observance of all
people. whether Protestant or Catholic.

right of no religious sect or denomina-

LOSS FROM LABOR TROUBLES.

The building improvements in Mil
waukee for the year 1886 are estimated
$1,0e0,000 less than in 1886. This de-
crease is chargeable 10 the labor
troubles in that city last spring. These
labor troubles have retarded improve
ments in many other cities, but that is
not the worst result; thousands of
families nave suffered for the necessi-
ties and comforts of life, because the
workers on whom they depended for
support were out of employment.
