politics ,he People,s Busin ess.

"What We mean by politics are the
measures that affect the government of
a nation or state. In other words, poll
tics is the peoples business, their most
vital business, involving taxation, pro-
lection in person and property, nation
atty and human rights, everything in
cluded in what we call free republi-
can government, all Of which depends,
directly or indirectly, upon the suffrages
of the people. What more sacred duty
can rest upon every man of you than to
vote right? And how can you vote right
unless you would boar and fairly con-
slider both sides of the question? And
there rests upon the man who under
takes to talk to you about politics
a serious obligation, not only to
be truthful, but fair end moderate.
II his object is simply to entertain you
for the fun of the thing, it is better for
him to ride around on hobby horse,
tell a good story, sing good song, and
rant and rave in fury, signifying moth
ing There used to be good deal more
of that kind of politics than now. Not
many years ago the party papers were full
of epithets and abuse of all on the other
side and nothing but fulsome praise for
all on their side. There are a few Of
this kind left, but, thank God, they are
rapidly dying out. Now good citizens
look upon political discussions as seri.
GUS matter, to be addressed to their judg-
ment and to be acted upon wisely as
sacred duty.-[Sherman's Speech.

nit. The summit being an extinct
crater yet issues forth an occasional
breath Of steam or vapor aud this they
mistake for fire kindled by the great
father when sojourning there. Some
white, gregarious fowls (ptarmigans
or white grouse) that have their dwell
ing place far up on the snowy slopes
of this great mountain are held In ga
cred reverence and regarded as the
private property or door-yard pets OF
the great father. They believe that as
u penalty for the destruction Of one OF
these fowls the great father would
cause the snoy 70 fall SO thick and fast
that the offender would be buried for
ever. Protected by this beautiful su-
perstition these white grouse appear to
be quite tame aud fearless. An In
dim in The immediate vicinity OF
Mount Tahoma takes pains TO deport
himself properly, as he considers that
he is near the great white throne OF
the mighty chief. Standing on the
far-reaching slopes of Mount Tahoma
on clear day the limit of ones vision
seems almost "the four corners OF the
world"
The statement has been made in
some of the public prints that the In.
dian meaning of Tohoma is, "the
breast that feeds" This ia q slight
misapprehension. In using this ex-'
preston the Indians do not apply it
to the mountain proper but only 70
certain physical formations at it's base.
Great glaciers extending out from the
base of the mouhtain form the heads
of rivers. In this sense they resemble
"the breast that feeds :" but the noun
tain itself is not so regarded. II is the
throne OF the gods, modern Olym.
pus.
In giving the Indian name Of this
mountain to the new state we would
avoid that endless confusion which
must result il we call it Washington.
Like the words NJ iseouri, Iowa and
Massachusetts,, tho name OF Tahoma
would apply 10 the state alone and not
10 any city or place. Then why not
call it Tahomas

Scattered here and there over the

who have exhausted their homestead
privilege without acquiring home.
In come cases it is owing to their own
fault and i'm provide nee, but in many
other cases the failure to acquire title
WAS owing to causes beyond tho con.
troll of the person making the entry.
In many cases tho entryman found.
after making his entry, that the land
selected was unfit for . home. owing
to lack OF water or owing to overflow
or underlying gravel beds or some

LET 1T BE NANED TAHOMA.

The Indian name of our greatest
mountain is Tahoma. The mountain
referred to Is usually called Mount
Rainier, q name that WAS given TO it in
honor OF an English "ruler Of the
queens navee." In later days the
mountain is often referred TO as Mount
Tacoma, but this word Tacoma is itself
. corruption of the Indian word Ta.
homa. When spoken by an Indian
the word Tahoma is full Of music and
rythm, q pause or prolongation being
made upon the middle syllable. The
meaning OF the word in the Indian
language is: Every high, nearly up
70 heaven or 70 the place whore re-
sides the great chief or great father"
A huge white pillar, il stands near the
center OF the territory, tho most con-
spicuous obiectin our territorial topog
raphy, with the possible exceptions
of the Columbia river and the great
mountain range Of which IL IL itself q
part. "Time writes no wrinkles on its
frosty brow just as Creation left II, we
behold it now" Grand and solemn,
and as stainless as the driven SHOWS
from heaven, it is At emblem tor the
state in which it is such conspicuous
object.
Many strange and beautiful legends
are extsnt among the older Indians in
relation TO this great mountain. They
look upon 1t, indeed. with supersti-
tious reverence and many Of them
firmly believe that the great father
sometimes stops down upon its susa-

THE MINNEsOTA sENAToRsHIP

A strong force of workers has as
sembled in Minnesota to secure tho
election OF w. ID. Washbnrn to the
United States senate from that state.
Ex-senator Window is present and
giving force and direction to the move
ment. In expressing himself upon
the subject the other day he said;
"This is an important matter. The
election OF our next senator is, ! believe,
regarded with interest all over the coun'
try. lhe Republican party has just won
one of the greatest victories In the history
OF parties. and it is of importance that
this great state chooses man to represent
her 10 the senate at Washington who will
do so as the needs of the state demand
want to see w. d. Washburn sent TO the
senate, because he is my friend. though
that is not the greatest reason | want to
see him sent there because know that he
is broad enough. and energetic enough,
ana mas push enough to secure such legis-
| lation as Is needed"
These remarks are good, aud Mr..
Washburn is in every way worthy to
receive such ccmmendation. But
what is the matter with Senator Win
dom HIMSELF The great state OF Min
nesota was never more ably repre-
sentcd than when the Honorable Will
lam Window was one Of It's senators.
He ia a man OF clean character, broad
views and great ability. Although not
an old man, he has served many years
in both branches OF congress. and aft
erward ss secretary OF the treasury in
the administration Of President Gar
field. His wide range OF experience,
together with his bility, would make
him a valuable man in congress At
this time.
