Geological and Rock Greek parks. We have
nothing within the District which can be called

a name should consist of . regular succession

priAtely be used when not too long. The Pow
hatan language, formerly spoken by the abort
gines Of the District and adjacent territory,
abounds in musical terms combining the sonor-
Gus character Of the northern languages with
the soft vocalic syllables of the south. Raps-
hammock, Susquehanna, Potomac, Chesapeake,
Rosnoke, Powhatan, tomahawk and moccasin
are all from this language and show the char

and antiquarian considerations demand that we
should preserve what remains of the names and
language Of our aborigines, aud there can be
no more practical way of accomplishing
this result than by comforting these
names. whenever appropriate. upon the streams
and hills within their ancient domain. Names
indicating the fauna and fora Of the District
are also peculiarly appropriate, either in the
scientific or the popular form, as well a. names
based upon geologic features, &C., a. Mitella

out OF place to use the names of plants or ami
mails not native to the District, or the names Of
the larger animals, which have been SO long ex-
tinct in this region as to be practically foreign
to It, number of appropriate names will
also be suggested by the picturesque character
OF the country. few old homestead names
from across the water may be retained on 40
count Of their antiquarian associations, but as
far az possible the District names should be
distinctively local and American. Family
names for natural geographic nomenclature
should be tabooed entirely.

its eonstitution and bylaws, and that the sys-
tenn Of levying assessments was . hardship on
the poorer members. Mr.. Norris defended the
assessment and declared that he Intended to
repel any attacks which might be made on tho
association.
Rising to question Of privilege, Mr.. Snow
den said that while he had been . member Of
with democratic organizations for over thirty
years. and that be would insist that the poor
members be regarded and no per capita assess-
ment made.
A motion to cot ON certain proposed amend

Tribute to His Abilities by a Member OF
the District Bar.
A pr ointment lawyer now practicing in this
city, but who is native Of Louisians, in speak.
ng Of the late Senator Gibson to . snAa re-
porter said:
THE death Of Senator Gibson depriyes the
state of Louisiana OF an exceptionally able and
well-squipped representative in Congress; the
Senate loses wise and conservative legislator,
and the country patriotic and influential
citizen. During his whole career Senator Glib
son was an earnest student OF public Affairs and
he was possessed Of wide range Of serviceable
information. His success in life was the result
largely Of social and political culture, to which
was added knowledge Of men and of measures
which was readily available. He studied the in
fuenoes which control individuals in their diff
ferent relations In life and At the same time he
was close observer Of contemporary events,
and few men could equal him IN the accuracy
Of his estimate Of the value Of actors In the
political field. To other accomplishments
was added consummate tact, which won and
held valuable allies. II has been said Of him
that he was the shrewdest politician who has
figured in Louisiana politics since John Shdel
was power in the state. From the standpoint
Of the mere politician this lie saying much. for
that state has seldom suffered from a dearth Of
astute politicians But Senator Gibson was Diff
ferently constituted from those leaders with
whom be is usually compared. He had broad
range Of vision, and while he pursued politics
In its correct sense q profession he studied il
as o science, and he regarded statesmanship as
the supreme goal Of human ambition. His
conspicuous qualities enabled him to advance

is the result of six years of earnest
work BY matchmaker named Gold

railroad station with walting-room for
travellers, telegraph and ticket offices,

ain in operation. Alongside of the
station are seen the tracks, with sig

Tammany Is In Line.

Resolved, That the Tammany Hall
organization, in executive meeting as
senbled, cordially indorse the plat
form of principles enunciated by the
Democratic national convention at
Chicago and pledges its earnest and
untiring support to the nominees of
that convention, Grover Cleveland of
New York and Adlai E. Stevenson of
Illinois.
The above resolution was unani-
mously adopted By Tammany at one
OF the largest meetings which that or
ganization ever held. Irs passage was
preceded by speeches of the leading
sachems, the genuineness of whose
sentiments could not for a moment
be doubted.
1t is evident that the powerful n.
I. club has awakened to tue fact that
the Democracy Of the nation IS deter
mined to elect Grover Cleveland with
out the nominating support OF state,
and that if it desires to ride in the
band wagon there is no time to be
lost. There is no hint OF the Suns
disposition to sulk IN this resolution
or these speeches. They are as hearty
as the best Democrat could wish.

Chauncey NJ. Depew's Real Opinion Of
Grover Cleveland.

A few Republicans of Blackfoot
and Bingham county take great pleas
ure in denouncing, in their way, Grover
Cleveland. Mr.. Chauncev Depew, one

who is doggedly persistent in what he
believes to be rlght-the man who

possibilities of American citizenship.

Strawberries One Cent Quart.

Thousands of quarts of strawberries
are going to decay ON Long Island.
The crop this season has been so plen-
tiful and the demand for the fruit so
small that the growers have been
obliged to leave the berries on the
plants, owing to the fact that the prev
alent market price is so low that it
would not pay to handle the berries.
Recently large shipment to dealers
in Connecticut brought only 1ct a
quart. The berries are very choice
this year, and in some places have
grown to an enormous size.
