The NorAin9 Neps rebukes the
H,oolSlyd Eagle Tor abiding to Mr.. lllg-
gins as ex-senator "Eugene" Higgins.
It il not pleasant to have ones name
niisnaotetl, but the Eagles error, which,
by ths way, We noticed in another paper
alsa, recently, shows how ephcmera! is
the fame Of Senator Higgins. As soon
40 be ief; tho halls OF Congress, lead
Ing newspapers even forgot his proper
name. They knew he was Hisgina,
that's all. And in searching for his
initial cognomen, their minds uncon-
scinusiy reverted TO that other Higgins,
lie who acquired fame and Iotoriety
through his connection with Baltimore
politics ard after yards as Democratic
Office holder uader the first Cleveland
administration who wanted to turn ali
tie Republicans out Of Office. And thus
they unconsciously wrote Eugene" in
stead Of Anthony" But, after all, it
shows what little figure Higgins cut
in public life. Imagine any paper in
this land abiding to Senator "William''
Gray, or Ambassador "Benjamin"
Bayard, instead Of TO George Gray OF
Thomas I. Bayard. But that is beyond
tho power of Imagination. Such practi.
cal oblivion is the lot Of public men Of
the Higgins calibre only.
