The anti-sai0on plank In the New York
republican platform Is as follows:
The republican party unequivocally con-
demns the course of Gov. HUI In Obstruct-
ing by his votes acts for increasing the fees
for licenses, by which larger share of the
cost Of government might be levied on the
liquor traffic, and we approve the efforts Of
the republicans In the LAST legislature upon
the liquor question, especially In passing
the act nullified by such executive action to
restrict that traffic by charges which would
lift some of the burdens Of taxation caused
by the liquor traffic from the home and
farm, and we believe that such charges
should be advanced to standards similar
to these successfully enforced In other
states under republican control.
That is suggestive and significant "Oth-
er states under republican control are
Maine, Iowa. Kansas absolute prohibition).
Minnesota and Pennsylvania (high license).

Discovery Of the origin sf the Name or
 America.

Amerigo Vespucci, the Florentinc navigator, has usually been credited
 with conferriug his name upon the
 Western world, circumstance which
 has caused no end of regret to many historians who argue that it should have been called Columbia Tn honor of the so-called illustrious dlscuverer. As a matter of fact, it is fortunate that it was not so chriStened, for then the erroneous idea that Columbus was act ually tho discoverer would have been forever perpetuated. The researches of the present author seem to show that the claim of Vespucci Is also un- founded, and that the name America was derived from the native name of Central America and the northern portions of South America, winch it is we'll known were among the very first localities visited and colonized by the SpaniardS, The name was yaIausly written by the early navigatofs, who adopted what seemed to each the nearest imitation of the native word. Thus we have Amaraca, Ameroco, AmeroGa, Maraca, Moraea, and finally Ameuce, To this was frequently add. ed the native word "pana, which, ac- cording te Sir Walter Raleigh, is tue equivalent of country. It seems strange that these facts should have renamed 50 long in obscurity, al- though it Is perhaps not less remark able than that the Morse discoveries during the tenth century should only recently begin to attract attention. These names actually occur on the maps and charts of the Spaniards, and the author has gwen reproduction of one of them, showing the geograph ical knowledge available during the early part of the fifteenth century. On the whole, thls pamphlet, the sub. stance of which was given by the au- thor before the American Geographi- cal Society, contains considerable iu- teresting information relating to the earlier bistory of the Ameucas.-Pub. li.

The PapaI ENchcqucr.
[Prnssels Courier l


 The annual expenses of the Papacy are said to amount to about 100000 francs. The burden is substantially met by the Peters penny, which was originally observes the Courier, ian En 9lish idea. But in 1861, after the twenty provinces of the Papal States had been reduced to five, the Peters penny was quickenel into ney life in Belgium" The first incitemv. to the generous endowment of the Papacy by the freewlll offerings oI the faith ful, rich and poor, was given by the diocese of Ghent, Its example was quickly followed in other lands. Un- til the year 1870 the average yearly result of the Peters penny was 7,ll7,- 900 francs Since that date 1t has constituted the sole income of the Pope, and in TO single year has been lower than 6000000 francs. During tke present Jubilee year the Bishops of Latin Christendom have handed in 10 the Pope the extraordinary stun of 32,5C0,OG0 francs. The Jubilee mass of Leo XIII. brought nearly 3,000,0C0 francs. The papal treasury is conse- quently in q good condition, The  Work for the Extension of the Faith" founded at Lyons in 1922, provides the Papacy with 8 fund for missions; it has contributed from 1922 to 1887 no less a sum than 220,000,000 francs. Its contribution for the last twelve months amounted 10 6,G46,000, of which Germany contributed only 100000 francs and Austria only 60,000 francs, as the reporter observes with regret.

But the same body Of ministers forth with voted down and out resolution eondemning the use of tobacco Rea- sen why, most oi the brethren voting like the weed, and use it, hut they do not like the beer, and have not to make any sacrifice to let it alone. But is that the way to do up yeur business, gentlemen? In the good book from which you preach there is a resolution that reads.

 Some important experiments have been made at the Sbeeburyness school Of gunnsry in higk-agle firing. A London correspondent writes; Proba- bly no step of recent years is likely to lead to greater results, for if the ex. pertinent should be repeated with the same success, it is undeniable that war ships will have to be as fully protect ed on their decks as they now are on their broadsdes. The experiments were made with the 9.inch or 23-cen- timeter gun used as a howt2er. An elevation of g degrees was given and battefing charges were used with Pal liser shells. Out of four shots three fell within space of 800 feet by so feet, representing the deck of first class wonclad, and ths range attained was 12 miles, Now, if it be really possible, three times out of four, or for that matter once out of four times, to throw 9-inch shell upon tue deck of a ship in midchannel between Do- yer and Calais, another proof will have been given that in the tedious duel between gun and armor the gun has much the best of It. What is very important, too, Is that the heavy charges and the high angle did not strain either gun or carnage in the least, and one of the officers present has said that he believed the gun would stand 45 degrees of elevation without injury, while with 42 degrees q range of l5 miles would be secured. Now, at l5 miles, ship is hull down, so IL comes to this, that wo can throw 9-inch shell on to the deck of a ship before we can see it! Surely this Is the most marvellous thing yet attempted in Gunuery, winch of later years has been 50 fruitful in surprises. A. & N. Register.
