Query: Did the man lie or we're We
never born? Another said he would
settle as sure as shooting. We pre-
sumo that shooting is very uncertain.
Another man said be hoped to 60 to

three days. Haven't seen him since;
suppose that he is gone but trust that
he did not hope in vain. Quite a

Origin Of the Word Boom. :

II the Globe Democrat had not nine
years ago adapted the word 'boon" 70

some difficulty in expressing their ideas.
There is rot IN the English language a
word that go clearly carries Its own
meaning with it az the word boom" in
its present application, whether used as
verb or noun. The person who frst
used the word IN the Globe Democrat in
its present sigDiicance took it from an
expression which ne once heard used by
the pilot of an iron clad on the Mississ-
ippi during the war. The river had been
rising very rapidly during the night, and
when one of the pilots came on outy in
the morning and looked through the hit
tie iron window of the pilot house he
exclaimed, "Great God, but she's boom

RIDICULOUS REPUBLICANIsM

The republican press was SO razzle
dazzied by the unexpected position In
which the platform placed the party, and
again by the nomination of man whom
they had least of ell supposed possibil-
ity, that it has talked about it like one in
a sleep. The Inter-Ocean more particu-
larly uses the language of burlesque,
while strenuously endeavoring 10 declare
its satisfaction and approval. 1t says:
"The platform to which 1t (the conyen-
tom gave its unanimous consent Is one
of the most complete epitomes of repub-
iican doctrine ever sent abroad by any
convention" And adds that it planted
itself firmly on the principles of dd-
RANGED reDu5IicdniSm" To ascertain what
f. meaut by advanced epublicanism, !"
the reader, who it may be assumed has
read the platform JUS adopted. has only
to turn to the platform adopted at the
republican national convention of 1884,
to find not only no such doctrine, but
denunciation of the ,ie m9cratic party be
cause it had not done what the repub!l-
can party now defantly asserts 1t viii not
d.. The folIo~ing is from the repubi-
can platform of four years ago. 1t says:
The democratic party has failed completely to
relieve the people Of the burden Of unnecessary
taxation by wise reduction Of the surplus. The
republican party pledges itself TO correct the in
..
Surely ropublicanism has made itself
ridiculous since Cleveland knocked it out
of its seuses.
