THE TERM "tiooslER."
n Originated Ina Dispute Between Natives
and u Few Kentuckians.

10 Originated Ina Dispute Between NatiVcs
and Few Kentuckians.
The term 'Hoosier, as applied to q
resident of Indiana, is the most in
ane, meaningless and degrading term
that was ever born of accident.
The origin of the term was as low
and degrading as its popular signlti-
canoe. 1t was in the early days OF
the steamboat business, when the vir-
gin forests of Indiana were being
pierced by the daring pioneers who
marched in the van of rapidly en-
croaching civilization Upon one oc-
casion there was a Notification being
held on the north side of the Ohio
river, not far from Louisville, which
was attended by large number OF
the border pioneers of both the
states of Indiana and Kentucky.
Things were going along smoothly
when, as was common in the early
days, discussion arose between a
resident from each side of the river
as to the relative merits of the two
states and the comparative physical
strength of their residents. Now,
each of the disputants was consid-
cred the strongest man on his side
of the river, and the two had never
had an opportunity to try their rela-
tive strength. The discussion waxed
warmer and warmer, and it was soon
developed that it would have to be
decided by the wage of battle. This
suited the spectators, and after it had
been agreed that neither side should
interfere, no matter how the fight
should go, the Kentuckians and
the Indianians separated into two
parties and prepared their champions
for the struggle, which took place on
the edge of the river bank. The two
physical giants in moment were
mingled together in such confused
mass that it was hard to tell which
one lived on the north side of the
river and which on the other,
The struggle was desperate, but OF
short duration. The Kentuckian was
no match for his adversary and was
knocked down four or five times as
fast as he could get up. Finally, aft
er no had gone to grass in front of
sledge hammer blow, the Indiana
champion picked his opponent up by
the shirt collar and the feshy part of
the trousers, and with herculean
effort threw him over his shoulder
down over the steep bank and. splash!
into the Ohio river.
The victor was flushed with vic
tory, and facing the crowd of aston
ished Kentuckians he howled: Bring
on the next! Come on, two or three
Of you at a time I can lick a dozen
of you yellow livered sons of mud
turtles. I'm a rip roarin, dod gasted
snorter, I amin a Hoosier." No
one knew what the last term meant,
but whether or not that kept the
Kentuckians from accepting the chal-
lenge has never been divulged. At
any rate, it was not accepted, and aft
er the defeated man had been fshed
out of the river all hands took an
other drink, and the best of feeling
prevailed.
One Of the newspapers in Louisville
took up the term and used it con
stantly thereafter, and for years it
has chung to Indiana. indianapolis

stacnation Of Educationa1 arethods.

Tradition consecrates, legislation
Celebrates, the large vested interests
of school supplies tie down, politics
entangles, and sometimes endow-
ment isolates. So that it is not
strange that reforms are ve1fv rare,
hard, slow and often prove in the
end far more superficial than was
thought. Wars and revolutions that
overturn states and reconstruct soci-
ETY. often leave education unchanged
in method and matter Save in Japan,
educational history records no COM
plete reconstruction.
Finishing" courses have left the
worlds great questions closed instead
Of open by inoculating against deep

tuated culture, so that when the cur
riculum is completed there is an al

always tend to become before any

THE ANTI-SCALPERS' LAW.

Judge Mitchell, of the state SUI
preme court, has upset the decision of
Judge Willis, of the Ramsey county
district court, says the Minneapolis
Journal, declaring the anti-scalpers'
law of 1898 unconstitutional. Judge
Mitchell referd to the abuses incident
to the ticket brokerage business, and
the placing of big blocks of tickets in
scalpers' hands by some railway COM
panies in evasion of the laws. He
holds that transportation tickets are
not vendible chattel property, but ev-
idence of contract between the car
rier and the holder for transportation
between designated points; such con-
tracts are non-assignable in common
law and the legislature has the right
to prohibit the transfer of tickets and
to prohibit the issuance of tickets, ev-
en-, and compel carriers to collect
fares in cash. The appointment of
agents to sell tickets under the act
by the carriers is not of the nature of
license, but the certificate is only evil
dence of the appointment of an
agent, and no special privileges are
granted to the carriers. The judge
holds that the prohibition of the sale
of ticket by a purchaser does not
impair his liberty as the restriction is
in the public interest. He denies that
the act interferes with interstate
commerce, since it is a mere police
regulation for the sale and transfer
of tickets designated to protect the
public from frauds. Congress may
regulate interstate commerce, but can
not interfere with the police power of
the states to protect domestic order,
prevent crime, etc. Moreover, a pur-
chaser of ticket has his civil rem
edy in case incorporated carriers re-
fuse to redeem unused tickets. These
are the chief points made by Judge
Mitchell and they appear strong.
The law of 1893 is held constitutional,
but the scalpers may take the case up
to the federal supreme court.

Congressman Jas. A. Tawney, of
the First district, is now preparing a
compulsory arbitration bill One
that is regarded by workingmen and
others to whom it has been submitted
as being an effectual measure to pre-
vent and settle strikes. 1t proposes
that the operation of the law shall be
through the United States courts, al
though arbitrator, selected by the
parties interested, together with those
selected by the court, shall perform
the functions of jury. This may be
all right, but can man or an organ

NIT to arbitration? And If they are
willing, wherein will Mr.. Tawney's
