ATTEMPTS AT BRIBERY.
2. On June 6, 1890, the Mlssis-
sippi State Democratic convent,t n
passed the following resolution:
Whereas, it is known that the
powerful trust known as the American
Book Company has been formed for
the manifest purpose Of monopolizing
the school-book business of the Unit
ed States, trust that is more hurtful
and pernicious than the bagging
trust which has robbed the people Of
millions of dollars: and
Whereas. Said trust is now active
" engaged in efforts to secure adop-
ton in this State; be it
Resolred, By the Democratic party
of the State of Mississippi in conven-
ton assembled, that the school offici-
ais and people are warned against
said book trust, and that it is the
duty of every honest citizen to oppose
said trust and use every effort to
educate our children against this, the
most odious OF all trusts yet formed. .
B. In July, 1890. n agent of the
book company attempted to bride one
OF the many lady supervisors in
Maine and she exposed him in let
ter to the Boston 4dtertiser. Speak
ing Of the trust she said: Il do not
believe in trusts and this is the mean
est one yet. Their agent called on
me last week and tried his corrupting

ORIGIN OF NAVAL TITLES.
Borrowed Military Terms From the Arabic,
the Spanish and the Portuguese.

Borrowed Military Terms From the Arabic,
the Spanish and the Portuguese.
In the early days the rank of admiral
was unknown. The chief officer of a
squadron was called constable or justice.
The term admiral as now used is derived
from the Arabic amir" or "emir,"
commander Gas in "amir-al bahr," COM
mander of the sea-. The early English
form was "amiral" and is still preserved
as such by tho French The Spanish and
Portuguese forms are "almrante,' the
Italian ammiraglio." The title captain
is not a naval but military one. Under
the older organization the real captain of
a ship was "a master, but military officer
was placed on board, though he knew
nothing about nautical affairs As the
captain became bigger and bigger the mas
ter became smaller and smaller until at
the present DAY he fills subordinate posi-
ton, which is gradually becoming ohsO-
letc being replaced by an officer under the
title of Il navigating lieutenant.
Commodore comes from the Spanish
commentator. The title lieutenant,
borrowed directly from tho French, is
more modern and is meant as a place hold
er, or one VINO took the place Of the cap
tain when absent. Subieutenant is still
more modern and at the same time mis-
homer, as he never was a subliCutCnant,
but merely u mate, or one who assisted.
In former days we had no cadets, but vol
unteCrs. However, with the gradual adj
vance of poltcness, the more sCemly term
of cadets was borrowed from the French
and adopted rs the title of the young gen
tlemen in our navy.
In place of paymasters the ships of old
had purscrs, who looked after tho provi-
sions. The naval purser did more. lie
