APPROPRIATE NAMING.

A few days since DAVID DUDLEY
FIELD appeared before the house COM
mittee on territories and made fervent
appeal for the preservation of some of
the romance and poetry connected with
the territories it is proposed to admit as
states. His position is one with which
the GLOBE earnestly agrees.
For country rich in nomenclature
musical as the tongues of Southern Eu-
rope, and handed down by race which
has left an indelible imprint upon the
land it once possessed, the American
fashion of going abroad for the names
of its towns, cities, territories and states
is simply barbarous. In the light of
the perpetuation of history it is simply
iconoclastic. On every side, in almost
every community, the rich and musical
Indian names abound, only to be thrust
aside by the contempt born of familiar
lty for some crude imitation imported
from foreign lands. and as unappropri-
ate as it is unharmonious.
The Western territories which apply
for admission as states should be given
distinctive Indian names which at the
same time shall be Enthusiastically
American. And the process of original
nomenclature should be carried more
into detail. In the naming of counties.
even OF streets, there is enough that is
characteristic of Americans and Amer
lea to preclude the necessity of borrow
ing from foreign sources. st. Paul, in
degree, has set good example in the
matter in the names of many of her
streets, but even she has vast room for
improvement.
The subject may seem trivial one,
but to the lover of traditions, the stu
dent OF. American history, or to the
ethnologist, it is one both interesting
and important. Mr.. FIELD may number
the GI.oBFamong the supporters of his
eSthetic crusade.

l.. G. JOHNSON, Aberdeen, Dak.-I am
on my way home after five weeks spent
at Washington working for the admjs-
sion of Dakota into the Union: and. emit
omized, the result of the labors of our
delegation are substantially that the
house committee on territories has
agreed upon a bill providing for the adj
mission of Dakota, Montana, Washing
ton and New Mexico territories as states
of the American Union. The new bill
contains in the main all the provisions
of the SPRINGER bill that referred to
the admission of Dakota, and the Dem
Ocrats are united in support of the
measure. At the request of the delega-
ton from the Aberdeen convention. the
committee struck out the provision re-
lating to the disorganization of coun-
ties, and also the question of minority
representation. And now for some of
the benefits that will accrue to Dakota.
We are given $50 sections of public
lands for public buildings at the state
capital; 80 sections of land for the
school of mines at Rapid City; 25 sec
lions each for the reform school at
Plankinton. the agricultural college at
Fargo and the normal schools at Madi-
son, Springfield, Spearfish and Mimic;
two congressman are given us until the
next apporti0nment; provision is made

day because our children develop into
the maturity of vigorous manhood and
womanhood before the children of
other countries even reach the ripen-
ing age. Here in America our young
men are at the head Of large business
establishments and holding offices of
trust, while i'll some of the old countries
youth of the same age are still tied to
their mothers apron strings. That is
why America is in the van of the worlds
progress. To represS the ambitions of
our children would be to set the nation
back in its march of triumph. We cam
not afford to do that
And yet it is possible that we might
manage to SO temper the aspirations of
our youth as to relieve them of the ap-
pearance of rudeneSs. That is, we might
mingle more refinement with their go
aheadativeness. While encouraging
them to push their way in the world we
might also teach them to be respectful
to others, to avoid wounding the sensi-
bilitieS of those against whom they
are JoStled in the madding Whirl
OF our progressive conditions. PO-
likeness and courteous conduct can
never disQualify person for the most
active business pursuits. In fact,
they are aids rather than drawback i'll
the most successful business career.
1t is not only essential to the progress
of American life that our boys and girls
should develop early into manhood and
Womanhood, but it is reallyEmOre essen
tial that they should, in the highest
sense of those terms, be ladies and gen
tlemen. The Young America of the flu
ture will be as much of a surprise to the
inhabitants of the old world as the
Young America of to-day. But let there
be no ground for the unjust imagination
that our progress is coupled with boOr-
lshnesS. Let us educate our children to
be as refined as they are precOcious.

THE NEwsBOYs, HOME.

The GLOBE asks the respectful atten-
ton of its readers to the appeal made in
this issue of our paper by the committee
in charge of the newSboys' home in this
city, in which they outline plan for
sustaining the institution and ask for
aid in its support. The institution is
one that deserves public support, and
we hope that our people, already so
noted for their generosity, will respond
literally to the appeal made in its be-
half. About year ago the newSbOyS'
home was established mainly through
the efforts of Col. HIGHLAND, whose
missionary work in that direc-
ton has blessed more cities than
our own. At the time Col.
HoGELAND was here there was a
cheerful disposition manifested by our
leading citizens to give encouragement
to the scheme, and the colonel himself
was more than gratitied at the support
he received. But since that time it
seems. from the statement made by the
committee. the institution has been
kept up by the aid of very few persons,
one individual contributing mainly to
its support. This should not be so. 1t
is charity worthy the support of all
eharitably inclined people, and we sim
cerely hope that the forcible appeal
made by the committee this morning
will meet with such generous response
that this home for our street waits will
be established on an enduring basis.
