Indian Names of Towns.

Secretary Thwaites, of the State
Historical Society, is rendering ser
vice to those who take an interest II
the Indian names which have beer
taken by towns and cities IN this
state. A few weeks ago Hon. Mr.
Thwaites was asked by this paper fol
his version of the name Kenosha, il
having been questioned whether II
was rightly interpreted from the
original. Answer was returned that
he would give the matter early at
tention. He has contributed IN in
teresting article, published in the
Milwaukee Sentinel, which covers IN
full the inquiry in respect to Keno
sha and conveys other important IN
formation on the subject of Indian
names. 1t is probable but few towns
and cities claiming to have Indian
names have the correct spelling OF
the originals, but have been simpll-
fed for greater convenience of pro-
nunciation and spelling. A location
Of great annual Indian resort was
Washington Island, included in the
limits of this city. The fact that
this Island was an important Indian
rendezvous has been frequently men
toned in historical papers descrlp-
tive of the country west of Lake
Michigan. It was on this island
where the Indians gathered in
great numbers yearly and where
they INDUCED in various amusements
peculiar to their race: Feasting, ban
quoting, chanting their war songs,
and probably not emitting the war
dance. The evidences found on
Washington Island by the early set
tiers of this part of the country, have
been so often described, they need
not be mentioned now. Before the
organization of any territory west OF
Lake Michigan, what is now known
as Wisconsin was spelled on the
maps Ousconsan. Gov. Doty, the
second territorial Governor, who had
much to do with Indian affairs in his
official acts, invariably spelled Wis
konsan with k. Gov. Doty had
the reputation of being authority in
Indian names. The Indian village
northwest Of Kenosha, mentioned in
the article by Secretary Thwaltes,
was located in the town of Mount
Pleasant. rot far over the north line
of Kenosha county. Tradition has
it the village was large one, but
was abandoned by the Indians for
causes unknown long before white
settlements encroached upon it, The
trading post for the purchase of furs
and skins from the Indians was To-
Gated where the village once stood
years before the settlement of Racine
and Kenosha counties. The place
was Familiarity known by the disa-
greeable name of "Skunk Grove, +"
which name, it is said, came from the
accumulation of skins which were
put through process causing often
sive odors. The Indian of Kenosha
has been discussed in former years,
probably nothing nearer TIE true one
can be arrived at than that in the ar
ticle by Secretary Thwaltes, found in
this paper.

hard for weeks to appear in Nadjy, the
New York papers criticised but one
part of her perforniance-her legs.
TO be sure they formed q large part of
her appearance, but the New York
critics car scarcely be pardoneu for
permitting their eyes to stay fixed on

smiled to her lover in disguise. Katie
Gilbert is plump, piquant and enticing
enough to turn the head of a wiser
man than jailer and would be jester,
Shadbolt.
Shadbolt was played by Richard
Cummings, who is announced as from
the Savoy Theatre, London. Mr..
Cummings acted with a becoming
sense OF the quaint humor of the
part. Comic opera comedians, in
well known company at least, seem to
think it necessary to practice variety
stage h%orseplay in order to be funny.
The opera was we'll put ON, the cos
tunes bright. and the scenery pictur-
esque. The company ought to have a
successful week.

Down with the swindlecates.

t AAAO
eNEwARR TAKES WATER BY CON-
7RAcT. Now WHAT WILL JERSEY
UlTy TAKEsn
This is the question which our only
competitor propounded in small caps
to its readers last week, and then pro-
ceeded to answer in its own way
which, of course, is also the way of
the swindlecates.
We have an answer to the conun-
drum too. We opine that Jersey City
will take her time before she allows
the fresh water pirates, whom our only
competitor aids and abets, to over
whelm her with debt and difficulty as
they are likely to do with the unfor-
tunate city Of Newark.
1t is an old story that our sole com
petitor is given yer body and bones
to the water companies; but this time
its mode Of presenting the subject is so
insidious that casual readers might
forget that it stood in the position of
hired advocacy, and they might there
fore be unduly influenced by its argu-
ments. But the careful reader who
looks between the lines will discern
that the article is framed with the sole
object of preparing the public mind
for the liberation of the Bartlett mon
strosity.
One remark which our only COM
petitor makes, however, is true, and is
worthy OF deep consideration. 1t says:
The Newark contract might not at
first seem to be of any Importance to
this city, but a little reflection will
show anybody that it is likely to
affect MS, and our water wants and future
water supply, very seriously. 1t cuts off
permanently all chance of the co-opera-
ton, or joint action, of Newark and Jer-
sey City, in relation to any water supply.
Newark is to ''go it alone" and, so far as
Newark is concerned, now, or in the
future, Jersey City will be forced to also
Ego it alone" in whatever she does, or at
tempts. 1t also greatly weakens, If it
does not altogether kill, the proposed
action of the State for the creation or re-
vision of any plan for the general care of
Water sheds of the State, and the getting
of water supplies from them for the
various municipalities. Newark will
heuCefOrTh De eltn6r lnulffer6nt, or hos
tile, to any such method of controlling the
water supply business, as is proposed in
the bill framed by our Committee OF One
Hundred and viii not be Inclined to
favor the assumption of control by a State
Board of Water Supply.
AL this is painfully true. Granted
the success of the swindlecates in their
raid on Newark's treasury, then Jer.
sey City, will be in a much weaker
position than she previously occupied.
The pernicious effect Of bad example,
the weakening of the anti-swindlecate
forces in their operations at Trenton,
the enrichment of the wicked ring
which is pushing the water business,
all these thing would leave Jersey City
s~ingle-handed in very piteous case.
But is there any remedy? it may be
asked.
Yes, there is one. The contract, reck-
lessly if not yenally, approved by the
mismanagers of Newark's affairs,
should be rendered nugatory by legis-
lation-or, at least, its validity should
be made depend upon a clear expires
sion of the popular viii. II the Senate

The Thriving Village of Newark.
We print the following remarkable
effusion as an illustration of the rural
spirit of jealousy which animates the
big village Of Newark in respect to
this city
To the Editorof the Jersey City NeWs.;-
/ had the bad fortune to pick up
a copy of your alleged newspaper Of
last Sunday, in which you say that
Newark is only a big village and that
Jersey City is the metropolis of the
State.
Great Scott! Has it come to this?
Is it possible that a whipper-snapper
upstart retailer of stale and unreliable
news comes into the good old State of
New Jersey and claims that the rot
tenest community in America is the
metropolis of the State?
Why Newark has more population,
more wealth, more culture, more in
fiuence and less corruption than Jer-
sey City. Newark has for fifty years
been recognized as the leading city of
the State; Newark is a respectable
place of residence, and l do not know
what you mean.
The fact that Jersey City, by means
of corrupt election officials and fraudu-
lent registry, is able to roll up vast
Democratic majorities, does not by
any means give Jersey Cityians the
right to call their rookery a metropo-
lis. There is not n single thing,
from population to honesty, in which
Newark does not lead her dirty sister
shame that | should have to say
sister.
Why, the scandalous exposures of
the outrageous malfeasance of Jersey
City office holders is enough, in the
light of Newark's cleanness on that
score, to put Newark in front rank,
even We're everything else equal.
But we are ahead in everything else,
as we'll, except in the dirt on the pub
lie highways.
AN INDIGNANT NEwARKER.
Lunatics may rave all they will, but
they cannot influence facts. In the
sight of the entire State and the coun-
try at large Jersey City is the metrop-
oils Of New Jersey in right of wealth,
commerce and progressiveness-prob-
ably of population too.
-----
Now the disinterested Republicans
who fought through the whole cam
paign for patriotism are squahbling
over the spoils. We care not whether
the County Committee or the de-
termined office seekers come out ahead.
IA plague on both your houses, :" say
we, for we feel confident that no mat
ter who seems to win, the insidious
Sewell is sure to get there all the
same.
SENATOR BoGERT said it was too
late last night to consider the gas bill,
which would partly relieve the people
of Jersey City from the extortion Of
which they complain.
Have you ever read the parable of
the Foolish Virgins, Senator Bogert?
The people have q way of saying
''Too late,n to Senators who come
around for reelection with explana-
tions of what they did not do.
THE Heppenheimer Anti-Swindle-
cate water bill reached the Senate last
Senator Adrain, who has been
waiting for it, will doubtless call a
meeting of his committee at once, and
report the three bills to the Senate
without further delay. The interests
of the people of Jersey City demand
this.
