He's a Brick -

Very few of the thousands who use the
slang term "He's brick" know its origin
or its primitive significance, according to
which it is grand thing to say of a man,
"He's brick" The word used in its origi-
nal intent implies all that is brave, patriotic
and loyal Plutarch, in his life of Agesilaus
king of Sparta, gives us the meaning Of the
quaint and familiar expression. On a GER
tain occasion an ambassador from Epirus, or
diplomatic mission, was shown by the king
over his capital. The ambassador knew OF
the monarch's fame-knew that, though nom
inally only king of Sparta, he was ruler OF
Greece-and he had looked to see massive
walls rearing aloft their embattled towers
for the defense of the city, but found moth
ing of the kind.
He marveled much at this, and spoke of il
to the king. "Sire," said he, II have visited
most of the principal towns, and find nc
walls reared for defense, Why is thisP "In-
deed, Sir Ambassador" replied Agesilaus
"thou canst not have looked carefully. Come
with me tomorrow morning and will show
you the walls of Sparta" Accordingly, or
the following morning, the king led his guest
out upon the plain, where his army was draw
up in full array, and pointing proudly to t
patriot host, he said: "There thou behold
the walls of Sparta-ten Thousand men an
every man brick. Montreal Star.

A REDUCTION OF THE TOBACCO
TAX.

Mr.. Mckinley has presented his
tariff bill to the ways and means
committee for discussion and re-
vision before going to the House. Ii
is said to effect reduction of about
$45, 100000 in the revenues. Hides
have finally been placed on the tax
list at rate of Is per cent ad valo'
rem. Imported manufactured to-
bacco is taxed as usual.
The bill abolishes all special or
privelage taxes on tobacco dealers,
manufactured tobacco, cigars and
pedlers and reduces the tax on to-
bacco in all forms, from cents to A
cents per pound. Provisions are
made for rebates to manufacturers
and dealers on origonal factory
packages of smoking and manutac-
tured tobacco, snuff, cigars, cigar
cites, etc. All restriction upon to
bacco growers in regard to the sale
of their tobacco, are also removed.
1t is not yet settled that the bill will
pass in this form, but generally it is
believed it will as it appears that
some concessions must be made to
the tobacco interest.

FORESTS DO NOT PREVENT oY-
CLONES.

Apropos of tornadOes Some peo-
pie contend that the large clearings
of timber in this section is the cause
of cyclones. 1t is difficult to see
what that has to do with it unless
heavy bodies of timber control at
mospheric conditions, preventing
the sudden contact of hot and cold
air, ETC., but the truth is, torIadOes
frequently pass through the most
densely timbered sections. Perhaps
the most terrific cyclone that ever
passed over this section occurred fifty
years ago, sweeping through little
south of Port Royal and north OF
Springfield, Robertson county. 1t
was about a half mile wide and not
a single tree was left standing in its
wake. The sign of its track is still
perceptible in the uncleared land
north of Springfield. Then the coun-
try was nearly all timber and there
were but very few houses in the
county. The only house of note
damaged was the brick residence OF
James Reasons, two miles south OF
Port Royal, now owned by J. l.. w.
Power. 1t was then new building
and the top was taken off by the
north wing of the cyclone.

BENTON moM1L11N,s VIEW.
Birmlngham Age Herald.

Benton Mcmillan, of Tennessee,
says that the volume of currency
at present in circulation, was in
tended for a nation of 81, 600, 900. The
population has been increased to
60,000,0O0 and there has been no in
crease in the currency. Mr.. McMil-
Inns remedy for existing evils there
fore is a reduction in taxes and free
coinage of silver.
This, as a general principle, we
take as sound doctrine and worthy OF
all acceptation. Taxes ought to be
reduced-the tariff on many articles
ought to be lowered and the tobacco
tax should be repaired. AS to silver
the coinage should certainly be liz
creased. Free coinage in the full
acceptation of that phrase might
prove too heroic a treatment of the
present difficulties. Bnt largely in
creased coinage would certainly
prove a benefit in making the vol
ume of the currency more common
surate with the population and the
amount of business which the cOun
try transacts.
AS for reduction of taxes there is
small hope for anything of the kind
by the present Congress.
There is more hope for something
being done in the matter of silver
coinage.

BRECKINRIDGE'S INDUSTRIAL
BILL.

Representative Breckenridge OF
Kentucky has bill before Congress
providing for the industrial develop
ment of the country, which strikes
popular sentiment with much favor,
but it is doubtful if a Republican
Congress can be induced to pass
such a measure. It's object is to
stimulate The expectation of our sur
plus and provides that any citizen or
company who produces a surplus in
the United States, shall receive Il
certificate or permit to import free of
tax from any foreign country, goods
of any kind to the amount of pro
duce exported.
The protected monopolies will
raise a mighty howl against such a
bill as this. Nevertheless, it is to be
hoped that Mr.. Breckenridge will
push it if it accomplishes no more,
it will serve to uncover the false pre-
lenses of protectionist, and prove q
valuable educator among the wes-
tern farmers.

OF "ELECTRocUTIoN.r

Kemmler, the New York murderer, is
knife or a screw, a dynamo will be en-
ployed to put an end TO his life. Because
of the means to be invoked, certain of our
contemporaries insist upon speaking of the
coming event as 'electrocution," and when
1T is over will, by the same reason, say that
kemmler was "electrocuted." By the
same illogical and coarse reasoning, while
the man is being executed they will say,
probably, "Now the Warden is electrocut-
ing him."
The English language is full enough Of
slang, as it is, and some of it, we are free
TO admit, is permissible because of its
strength and general acceptance by people
of fair education.
But we appeal to our contemporaries, Is
ii necessary to introduce this new and un-
meaning expression-we cannot call it a
word, for 1t has not one of the elements of
legitimacy. What is the matter with ex-
ecuted, brethren? Does it not convey the
knowledge of the act as fully as is neces-
sary? When has it been deemed requisite
to indicate by the word the precise means
employed in executing criminals? If it is,
why not say of one who is hanged that he
is "ropecuted," or that his execution is
guillotinecution, garrotecution or behead-
cutlon, and so on? Yet any one of these
would be as defensible as electrocuted or
,electrooution.
Now we confess that If you insist upon
repeating this abomination, "electrocu-
tion,D that, ike mud, it will make its
mark, and in way adhere to the language
of the day-that photographers will ever
.,acopnize it as other than slang is improb

There is no Local Law Protecting Them
From Summer Slaughter.
The Placerville Republican Indignantly
denies that the Supervisors of FL Dorado
county have PASSED an ordinance to protect
the deer OF that county. If SO, then the Super
visors have been given undue credit for an
act that would have stamped them as men
wide-awake and of progressive ideas.
If FL Dorado does not do something to
protect her wild game from determination
by hide hunters and hoodlum shooters the
day will come when her people will be
wishing they had done so. Last year many
summer tourists who left considerable
money in that county returned Disguised
with their luck, saying that the hide.hunt-
ing vandals-aided by a class of campers
from the valleys who kill everything in
sight--bad about exterminated the deer.

abroad they should not be disappointed IL
