GORMAN AND FREE SILVER.
Report That He Is Pushing Stewards
Bill to Defeat Cleveland.

WAsHIssToN CRY, May 27.-TSpecial. l.
1t is claimed in many quarters today that
the passage of the free coinage bill pre-
vious to the assembling of the Chicago
convention will sound the death knell of
Cleveland's hopes. Some inside history
has come to light within the past few
hours regarding the Democratic side of
this fight. The plan to pass the
free coinage bill before the Chicago
convention meets is being managed
by Senator German, of Maryland.
His scheme, it is said, and upon
what must be excellent authority, is to
steer free coinage bill through the Sem
ate and send it to the house in time to Sc
cure direct vote before June 2l BY do
ing this he will remove from the presi-
Dental list the only candidate that stands
any show of defeating him for the nominal
ton. With the passage of this law in
congress by the instrumentality of Demo-
cratic votes the Chicago convention, it is
thought, would not dare to place Cleve-
land at the head of the tickets This is
Germans idea about the matter, at any
rate. ira
1t can be stated tonight that the present
status of the silver tight is disturbing GER
tain Republicans nearly as much as it IS
the Cleveland wing of the Democratic
party. The victory scored by the free
silver men in the Senate yesterday strongly
indicates that there is still an opportunity
for them to secure the passage of their pet
measure in both branches at an early date
The anti-free silver men, however, are
prepared to wage vigorous battle. and
some of them maintain that the plan of
the free coinage men will be defeated

the appropriation bills were disposed of
he would ask the House to consider the
anti-option bill. The House then went

Last evening the PosT-INTELIIGE ENcER man

crowding the radishes, lettuce ETC., in

Robertson replanted his last years potato
patch this spring to tubers, and now those
left in the ground from last years digging
have come up, and the whole patch looks
as though sown broadcast. These are only
few samples of scores of gardens and fields
all over this county where people may have
a chance to gather where they have not
sown potatoes. Spring opened here Feb

Morality of Circus Life.

A s regards the morality of circus
life, the occupation of the perform
ers torbids that they should indulge
in dissipation of any kind. Even if
inclined in the direction of vice they
have no time to indulge in it. On
the road they rise at z or s o'clock,
leave the sleeping car and breakfast
at hotel and have a morning re-
hearsal. Then come dinner, the
afternoon performance and supper,
then the evening performance, and
at 12 o'clock, or an hour and half
after they are through work, they
must be in the car again OF q severe
fine is imposed.

ola indian Names.

II the red man had given us nothing
else than cornbread and hofniny he
would have bestowed on the American
white man an incalculable boon. But
ne has given us also an inexhaustible
supply Of names, mostly musical and
always different from those in any other
part of the worll. On this supply OF
names we should draw on all occasions
possible when q new town OF mountain
is to be christened. The Indian names
have poetic or legendary signiication.
They should be faithfully preserved, If
for no other reason than that they con-
stitute source of information as to the
history of fast vanishing people.
Yet, with all these noble Indian names
at hand, there is a tendency to drop
them altogether and give to American
towns borrowed English names, al
ready duplicated dozens of times, and
which are absolutely meaningless in
United States history. The outrage is
even perpetrated of rebaptizirg town
and changing its beautiful cd Indian
name to British one. Maine has been
especially guilty in this respect. Port
land itself, the largest city in the state,
was originally an Indian village called
Casco. The name was a musical and
striking one. Then for some reason the
name of the place was changed to Mach
igonne, pronounced Mashigon, also an
Indian name, not so musical as the first
one, but still an original appellation.
Machigonne it should have been left,
but mol A British word had to be
tackled to the beautiful town by some
body who had exceedingly bad taste,
and it was baptized once more, this
time to be called Falmouth. But the
people of the place had become nervous
in their minds on the subject Of names
by this time, and once more renamed
the city, this time calling it Portland.
1t may be remarked that there are at
present thirty Portlands in the United
States. Worse still, few miles out Of
Portland was a village called Sacca-
Kappa, where is fine water power.
The same mania for meaningless British
names has changed Saccarappa into
Westbrook.
Such changes are outrages on the
artistic sense. Keep the fine old Indian
names. They have history and mean
something.
