The name William was not at first given to children; it was a name conferred upon man as a re- ward of merit. When the ancient Germans fought with the Romans, the Germans were armed only with light weapons, swords, spears, shields, etc., and if a German kill ed on the field well-armed Roman, wearing gilded helmet, the helmet was set on the head of the brave German who had slain It's owner, who ever after was known as Gild- helm, or, as we you'd say, Guild Helmet. Among the Franks, the name was Guild -helme, and with the French, Guildeaume, afterward Guillame, ,and with the Latin speak ing nations, Gulielmus. Finally, the French Guilame became Eng fish William.

Richard Wood, who claims to hail from Flagstaff, arrived in King man Sunday night in a box car. He was on a tour of the Pacific coast, and being of speculative mind, decided to remain here few days and add few shekels to his lean purse. The business he de- cided to engage in is lucrative but dangerous one, and Richard had piled his vocation but a few hours when he found himself in jail, having been caught in the act of selling whiskey to Indians. Wood was taken to Prescott by Deputy U. s. Marshal Lind, where his case will be heard. During Woods stay in the jail here his~time was spent in crying and bewailing hls fate.- Miner.

\ Boys Metaphysical Theory

What imaginative creatures chil- dren are, to be sure. There is one little Washington boy who explain ed to his mother while she was un- dressing him the other night 6 most extraordinary metaphysical theory of his own invention. It was that there was nothing in the world that had any existence out side of his own immediate person ality. Wherever he went, and to however great a distance, there were always substantial surround ings, but his notion was Chat per haps when he left any particular locality those surroundings went out of being at once, having served the whole purpose of their creation by providing him with necessary environment. According to this idea of his, when he journeyed through the city in car block af, ter block of buildings and street after street sprang up instantan' eously for his benefit, as quickly vanishing when he had passed out of view.

A Dream Strangely Fulfilled.

In 1862 I lived in the Shenan- doah valley, and was betrothed to a lieutenant in the Southern army. writes correspondent of the New York Evening World. On the 2d of July I expected him home; owing to the irregularity of our modes of travel, did not know at what time he would arrive. l waited until 12 o'clock, and as he did not come 1 extinguished the light and threw myself upon a lounge.
 I fell asleep, but awoke with a start, and found the room dimly lighted and the lieutenant standing beside me, looking a ghastly pale and his uniform stained with blood.
 I jumped up and exclaimed 70 Tom, what is the matter?"
 He answered, T am dead. Go tell my mother and hurry to the field. was mortally wounded, and knew you would grieve less if you could find my body. So l crawled up the hill, under pine tree to die"
 Then all was dark.
 His mother and I went to the battle field, and under an old pine tree we found him dead, his uni form stained with blood, just as 1 had seen 1t the night before.

] IS another name for the Mckinley pill, An Act to prevent the reduc ton of wages of American labor tc a European basis"
 And the Courier-Journal adds: 1 Wages are used to buy necessary supplies for the family. 1 Now wages are to be protected by compelling wage earners to pay more for all they buy.
 1 Whether a man works in the fac tory or in the field is determined by the price of farm labor. The American manufacturer bids not against the European manufacture CT, but against the American farm CT.
 Why is il that today, after thirty years of a protective tariff, is It necessary to go to Congress to get a law passed to Prevent the reduc- ytion of the wages of American la- bor?"
 What influences are at work re- tducing wages in America? ! Plainly the depression of agri- fculture
 l When, in America, agriculture prospers, wages advance when it is depressed, wages in every factory in the land declines.
 In 1877, 1878 and 1879, farm pro- ducts commanded profitable prices, Iand every section had a "boom." <, But in recent years the tendency nas been otherwise the chief agri- lcuItural crop has been the crop ot mortgages, with the result that wages have declined in all indus ltrial centers, and strikes have null tiplied.
 Now we are to have a "bill to prevent the reduction of wages of 1 American labor 10 a European t.gsis" How is it proposed to do this? Simply by increasing taxa ton.
 Here is aailIustration: A farmer sends some early strawberries to his city merchant and tells him to send in exchange twelve dozen tin cans for peaches, tomatoes, etc, etc. Heretofore the government would take for revenue B per cent !; the farmer would get nine cans in- stead of dozen. He finds this tax has been increased to five, leav- ing only seven cans in dozen, or seven dozen in a gross.
 It doos not matter what the farmer asks in exchange for his products, the effect of the McKin- ley bill is the same. If he wants a suit of clothes, carpet, household utensils, farming implements knifes, guns, fertilizer, anything for every thing, he finds that in exchange for his fruits and vegetables, for wheat or corn, for cotton or for cattle, oy an increase of taxation he must accept less or he must send more.
 This is the way farm wages are increased. Under the influence of the tariff. agricultural has declined, and wages in the factories and mills have followed. Labor has been imported and is today import ed free of any tax, and so between the poorly paid farmer, the laborer in the cities finds that his wages and the wages of the English la borers approach every year nearer to a level.
 Wages come not from capital i; they come from the products of la- Dor. They are highest when and where production is highest per hand.
 Any natural or artificial impedi- ment to the highest production any friction, any taxation, any tar if, lessens the productive power of labor and reduces it's rewards. Tax ation is always an evil it is toler- able only when imposed to meet itba roo,,iro,noptc of the rOvprn-

Reich,s Toknyer Ansbruch.

The Chicago Inter- Ocean in its issue OF
February Sth instant thus shows its appre-
citation of q remarkable wine:
According 10 DR.. Bliss. President Gar
field in his last illness was greatly sustain
ed by Lorenz Reich's famous brand of Hun
garian wine Tokayor Ausbruch. He writes
rs follows:
During his last illness this wine was re-
lied upon, IN great measure. TO sustain
the waning vitality Of the President. and
on the 18th Of July. as he held glass Of
Relch's TOkayer Ausbruch in his nerveless
hand. il caught the reflections of the sun
beams thrown from a small aquarium on
the wndow-Sill. Turning TO Crump, the
White-House steward. he said: Billy.
neither art nor science can catch or hold
that color. eh - 1t is certainly very beau
tiful.' replied Crump. Yes, and in order
that neither art nor science shall have this
as q lasting rebuke to their inefliclency, L
will drink it, His luncheon remained on
his stomach without creating nausea, and
the patient indicated that he wanted more
food"
We think we recognize in this the iudg-
ment OF Mr.. William Penn Nixon. and 1t Is
a credit TO his head and heart that he COM
mends that which, though product OF
wine and therefore coming under the re-
probation of fanatics. Is an unmistakable
blessing to the sick and debiltated every
where. The TOkayer Ausbruch, introduced
and sold only by Lorenz Reich, 334 Fifth
avenue. New York, proprietor of the Cam
bridge. Is the greatest Of all known recupe-
rants. and is deserving Of first place in the
category Of stimulants absolutely needful
TO the assistance of nature in the relief Of
suffering and the prolongation Of life.

THE LoCOMOTIVE-WORKS.
Why They Are Seeking New Charter
from the General Assembly.

Reference was made in the Dispatch yes
terday to the Richmond Locomotive and
Machine-Works Company asking for
charter authorizing them to guarantee
stock and to change their corporate name
to the Richmond Equipment and Security
The object of this charter, aside from
the belief that il will cause an enlargement
of the manufactory and the consequent
increase of workmen there. it'll hoped,
will be TO enlarge their facilities tor doing
business-by securing greater patronage.
Under the new organization there Will
no two distinct and separate departments
as it we're: one manufacting. and the other
strictly speaking dnancial-a security
branch in fact. Heretofore 1t has been the
practice of railroads to purchase their
equipment supplies for cash. There nave
been exceptions, but this has been the
rule. 1t has often been the case. however.
that they did not have the cash with whlch
TO purchase, and rather than issue ana ne;
gotiate bonds they would oe opera'eu
without equipments. ..,.
One of the chief objects sought In UNI 1nis
charter is to meet Just such cases. Inc
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS will be enabled TO Jake
and find markets for bonds instead OIL de-
mandine the cash. In this manner the
facilities of the company for obtaining
work and competing with other companies
will be greatly amplified. Railroad com, cor
panies and Others can be approache WIN
this added advantage to themselves ana
their patronage thus secured by the estap- :ap
lishment of market for their bonds WILL
out trouble or expense to themselves,
Under the present charter OF the ioco.
motive company this inducement cannot
be offered. Recognizing, the fact that tneie
is plenty of railroad mileage but an lnsuI-
fciency of railroad equipments, the new
company wishes to put itself in the posi-
tion TO meet the large demand for EQUIP
ments that il sees is sure to be made IN tue
next ten years, as there is not railroad III

of its needs in locomotives, cars, &c.
This company is now working oSo manu-, ~,
