FARMER IMMIGRANTS WANTED.
The Experiment Which an Ohio Capital
ist Will Try In Nebraska

The Experiment Which an Ohio Capital
list Will Try In Nebraska.
A plan for securing farmer immi-
grants has just been put in operation
in Nebraska by wealthy Ohio manu-
facturer, and it is the understanding
of the South that Gov. Northen, of
Georgia, advocates similar expert
ment in his state. Some time ago the
Ohio man purchased 12,UUU acres IN Ne
braska. In the center of this tract 100
acres are laid off for the village site,
and in the center of this forty acres
for a public park. Facing the park
are the school, church or churches,
public halls, stores, shops, etc. The
remainder is cut up into 240 lots
of about half acre each for dwellings
for the farmers, storekeepers, mechan-
les and others who may seek a resi-
dence in the village. After providing
for the village the rest of the $4,000
acres is divided into $50 farms of about
eighty acres each, with roads so laid
out as to give each farmer an open
highway to the village. 1t is proposed
to sell these farms, on time, giving
ample time to the purchasers to pay
for them, and to assist in the building
of the village by helping to build the
schoolhouses, churches and such other
public buildings as may be desired. If
this idea is carried out, there will be
a village with $50 families of farmers,
and perhaps fifty or more other fam
lilies of storekeepers, mechanics and
others, say village of 200 families, or
1000 people, which would make con-
siderable place.
Gov. Northen suggests that land
owners form joint stock companies,
purchase central tract for the village,
build a church, schoolhouse, store,
have post Office esta blished, and then
let those nearest the village site either
build, or if practicable move their
dwellings to the village site, thus Civ
ing it start. Then subdivide the
large farms into small ones, and invite
settlers to come, purchase and become
residents of the village.

THE TERM "YANKEE,"
Various Theories Which Have Been Ao
vanced as to Its Origin.

Various Theories Which Have Been Ad-
vanced as to Its Origin.
The theories which have been ad-
vanced as to the origin of the name
Yankees are numerous. According to
Thierny, it was corruption of Jakin,
a diminutive of John, which was a
nickname given by the Dutch colo
nists of New York to their neighbors
in the Connecticut settlements.
In history of the American war
written by DR.. William Gordon and
published in 1889 was another theory.
DR.. Gordon said that it was a cant
word in Cambridge, Mass, as early as
171s, used to denote especial excellence
as a Yankee good horse, Yankee
good cider, etc. He supposed that it
was originally byword in the college,
and being taken by the students into
parts of the country gradually obtained
general currency in New England, and
at length came to be taken up in other
parts of the country and applied to
New Englanders as a term of slight re-
proach.
Aubury, an English writer, says that
it is derived from a Cherokee word
eankee-which signifies coward and
slave. This epithet was bestowed upon
the inhabitants of New England by
the Virginians for not assisting them
in war with the Cherokees. The
most probable theory, however, is that
advanced by Mr.. Heckewelder-tha
the Indians in endeavoring to pro-
nounce the word English, or Anglais,
made it Yengees or Yangees and this
originated the term.

LETTERS MARKED "RUsH."
An Attempt to Discover Why They Are
Thus Treated.

An Attempt to Discover Why They Are
Thus Treated.
1t is legend in the. telegraph office
that the sender takes a pile of mes
sages, and, sorting out those marked
'trnsh," puts them at the bottom OF the
pile. There is also class OF commu-
nicants that every newspaper office
knows which marks it's letters rush"
It will never be known just what
these writers expect, says the Mime
apolis journal. Possibly it is that
when the letter is received by the post
office authorities the wheels of Uncle
Sans mighty engine for the distribu-
ton of mail will stop while the post
master seizes his hat and rushes out to
deliver the letter personally. If any
body sees the postmaster tearing
across town, break-neck speed, he may
know that the postmaster is deliver
ing rush" letter Usually letter
marked rush" bears message some
what as follows:
''HAsTY, Mimi, Sept. 1t.-John @.
Montgomery died yesterday of old age.
He will be seriously missed in our
beautiful village. John L. Johnson
raised a potato on his lower forty this
year that weighed eighteen ounces.
Frank Williamson was taken to the in
sane asylum yesterday"
Sometimes man will send letter
marked rush" containing check or
a postal order. Then it goes to the
business Office and is not opened but
sent to the news editor ION the. 'suppo-
sition that it contains news. The news
editor growls at the chump that sent
it and sends it back to the business
office. And so letter marked crush"
is usually delayed.

THE HASH OF CRUDGERY.


ing Distinguished Brother.
Since my brother Mundanus has be-
come rich and famous as the author
and autocrat of the bootjacll trust,
have been very strongly tempted to
stop working for myself and arrange
with him for my support, says writ
er in Scribner's. 1t may be that I shall
conclude that the habit of drudgery is
too firmly fixed on me to be thrown off
with impunity, so that perhaps I shall
elect to go on working; but if I do it
will be in the nature of self-indulgence.
maintained for more personal ease,
against my conviction of what is just
and right.
For my argument is, and it is con-
ceived on general and impersonal
grounds, and founded without preju-
dice on dispassionate observation, that
a comfortable maintenance without
work is very moderate set off to any
ordinary man for the inconvenience
and detriment of having an immoder-
ately successful brother. The reason
lies in the incorrigible tendency of So
ciety to measure brothers by the same
standard. When they are little society
puts them back to back and observes
which is the taller. When they are
grown it piles their achievements or
renown or incomes up side by side,
and remarks which pile is bigger.
Mr.. Rockefeller's or Mr.. Astor's in
come may run up into the millions,
without making anyone think the
worse of my capacity; but ever since it
became known that Mundanus was
getting fifty thousand dollars year
largely payable in Bootjacl1 stock, as
I happen to know, but the public
doesn't), it has been imputed to me as
a fault, and somewhat of disgrace,
that my in-takings were not so large.
However conscientiously a man may
have used the talents given him, and
whatever progress he NAV have made
in life, if it be his misfortune to have a
meteoric brother who has sailed con-
spicuous where he has had to plod, and
arrived glorious where he has sweated
in patient aspiration, the slow-gaited
man is bound to suffer as | do by dis
paraging comparison with his ocupod
fellow of the same brood.

No Changes at the Asylum.

Governor Mcconnell will make no
changes IN the management OF the In
sane Asylum. He has wisely decided
to retain DR.. j. W. Giyens. superinten.
dent, and the old board of directors.
In this determination, the governor
has risen above partisanship, and
from K0otenaI 10 Bear Lake the
thoughtful, conservative and state
loving people will say; WELL DONE.
THE NEws counts this a happy
omen for the governor in the begin

courages the hope and strengthens
the confidence the people entertain in
his success. By this he shows that he
can Withstand the pressure and the
cries OF partisans and bravely rise
above partisanship. In other words,
from this date on, the people will
know that he has will Of his own,
and having been elected governor, he
will be governor. All of which is good,
and as long as he keeps the best in
terests of the state foremost, Just so
long he will have the endorsement of

How to dlsfranchise the delinquent
Republican voters OF Kent and Sussex
counties is question that racks the
Legislature from center to clrcumfer-
ence. A bill To disfranchise delinquents
has passed the Legislature twice, as
often reconsldered and now it has
been amended and lie pending the
third time. When the bill first passed
1t was supposed to be perfect and the
lower counties could rest secure
in the arms Of Democracy. But just
then 1t was found TINT only the delin-
quents OF 1891 were DISTINGUISHED
while those OF 1892 were retained.
This did not suit the Democratic law
makers because 1t did not do Its work
thoroughly. 1t was then reconsidered
and the time named in the bill slid
forward month to take in tue delin.
quents Of 1892. But when some OF the
members OF Kent and Sussex returned
homo they experienced something
like nest Of live hornets about their
ears. The passage of the bill entailed
a loss Of some $4,000 or $4,000 to the
lower counties in taxes, besides there
were as many Democratic as Republi.
can delinquents. So the bill has agar
been reconsidered and is pending FOL
tho third time before the Legislature
In the meantime 1t has been dis
covered that the bill Is unconstitution
al because it is IN ex.post faeto bill
and respectable Democrats are becom
Ing disguised with 1t on account o.
Its extremely partisan character. Wha
will be tho out come or what Will be
come of the little Democratic partisan
bantllng is hard to tell.
