got the nomenclature along with 1t, and.
while this has been somewhat modified
since, 1t is still very mixed. 1t does not
take much examination of map of Alas
ka TO discover these lingual eccentricities.
Thus among names evidently of Russian
origin one finds Capes Romanzoff, Suworoff,
Constantine. Kolmakoff. Kutzoff, Stro-
gouoff, Rodgnoff and others equally off
from English. Most of the names in the
interior are either pure Indian or hybrid
between Indian and Russian, with now and
then one evidently of English origin. Such
names abound as ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Nowi-
kakat, Uriakholana, Nuklukahyet, Toxika-
kat and so on for a long list. We have no
use for such names in the American branch
of the English language any more than we
have for the tresome list Of those ending
off" We can find better names for Mount
Kavazage Mount Kegictowruk, the Kang-
malig mountains and others, as we'll as for
the Sitzikunten river. the Kuskoquim river,
the Kotelkakat river and others equally diff
ficult to pronounce. A large map of Alaska
bristles with names of this kind, and if the
country is as rough as the nomenclature
one can easily believe all that is said of it.
When it becomes Americanzed it's geo.
graphical names should be Anglicized.

perhaps, but the American made rye bread
has never taken very high rank in pop

rye to export. In 1894 some go 900 bushels of
American rye were exported to foreign

SOME INSIDE HISTORY.

1t is a singular fact that the two most
important acquisitions of territory made by
the United States since the formation of the
government have come about largely
through a desire to raise up a rival on this
continent to Great Britain. The acquisitions
referred to are those of the Louisiana ter
ritory and of Alaska. 1t is a matter of
history that Napoleon's willingness to sell
Louisiana to the United States in 1903 was
due partly to a fear that, in the then pend
ing war, an English fleet would seize New
Orleans and thus practically control the
Mississippi valley and partly to a desire
to strengthen rival power to England.
When the sale of the territory to the United
States was consummated, Napoleon is said
to have exclaimed, II have now given to
England maritime rival that will, sooner
or later, humble her PRIDE
That the same motive played an impor-
tant part in our acquisition of Alaska is
shown by the fact, now almost forgotten
that Russia offered that territory to the
United States nearly fifteen years before
the purchase was made. In the summer of
1854, during the Crimean war, the Russian
government, considering the opportunity
favorable, resolved on a step it had long
contemplated. This" says a narrator of
the incident, was to hem in the British
possessions on the northwest coast of
America by conveying the Russian territory
and islands on that coast to people whose
proximity and activity would create pow
erful rival to England in the north Pablo
AS a matter of fact the Russian minister
to the United States at that time proposed
the sale of the whole of Russian America
to the United States President Pierce de-
clined the offer for reasons never made
known, but probably through fear of COM
plications with England. In a similar crav-
en- manner he also declined the free gift
of the whole of the republic of Honduras,
which was formally offered to the United
States through a special agent sent hither
for that purpose. Thirteen years after this
first offer of Alaska was made to the United
States by Russia, the offer was renewed
and accepted by administration which
had sense enough to realize its significance.
Russia had continued to hold Alaska

The recent history of the Democratic
party shows how effectually a political
phrase may be discredited by its prosti-
tuition to unworthy purposes. The phrase
tariff reform is not only harmless in itself
but really deserving. Reform of any kind
should always be had when needed and
it is too good a word to be discredited as
it has been in this case. The Democratic
platform of 1888 declared in favor of
general reduction of duties on foreign i'm
ports and said: Upon this question of
tariff reform, so closely concerning every
phase of our national life the Democratic
party submits it's principles and professions
to the intelligent suffrages of the American
people" In 1892 it denounced protection
as "a fraud" the Mckinley tariff as 1.-The
eliminating atrocity of class legislation"
and promised its repeal "as one of the
beneticent results that will follow the ac-
ton of the people in intrusting power to
the Democratic party" The tariff reform
promised to the people in 1892 was the
repeal of the law under which they had en-
joyed a degree of prosperity that has since
become proverbial under the name of Har-
risen prosperity, and a majority of the peo-
pie were actually induced to vote for
party which was pledged to reforming pros
perity out of existence. To do the party
justice the pledge was kept. 1t is doubtful
if mere legislation ever effected in any
country a greater change of condi-
lions than was effected in the United States
by the tariff reform which followed the
success of the Democratic party in 1892
1t was radical reform, but unfortunately
in the wrong direction. They did reform
the tariff but it was a reform which sub
stituted disaster for prosperity a treasury
deficit for a surplus. an increasing debt for
a decreasing one. and universal stagnation
of business for universal activity. The
next time the Democratic party comes be-
fore the country a platform of tariff
reform the people should remember that
the phrase is thoroughly discredited.

SHIPPING BEEF TO SIBERIA.
Armour Gets Over MilIiOn-POund
Order from Russian Government.
Chicago Pos


The Armour Packing Company is filing an
order this week of forty cars of dressed beef
for shipment to Siberia, to be used by the
Russian government in feeding the men en-
gagged in building the Siberian Railroad The
shipment is perhaps the largest single beef
order ever filed by the Armour Company
1t consists of $500 tierces of $50 pounds EACH
in all about 1.25 900 pounds. The order was
secured by Armour & Co. several months
ago and will be filled at Kansas City.
The first shipment was sent last night,
when a special train of twenty cars left
Kansas City over the Chicago Great West
ern Railroad. The second train will be sent
out Saturday morning.
The cars will be taken to st. Paul by the
Great Western road. They will be trans
ferred to the Canadian Pacific Railroad, and
the engines of that railroad will pun them
across the continent to Vancouver on the
Pacific coast. A refrigerator steamer will
carry the beef across the ocean to Maya
saka, the destination.
THAT is the kind of order we would not
want every day." said Mr.. F'avorite, of Ar
mour & Co, in speaking of the big ship
ment. Il am afraid we would have trouble
in filing the orders promptly if they came
in too rapidly. The Kansas City house has
been filing the order for some weeks. The
contract is with the Russian government,
and it is for the men working on the ST.
berian Railroad. The goods will have to go
by boat via Japan to the Siberian country"

Attacks on the so-called money power
will not be as popular or effective hereafter
as they were in the last Bryan campaign
The people have come to understand that
the real money power of the country is the
great mass of depositors in savings banks
and similar Institutions. In round numbers
there are about one thousand savings banks
in the country, having five million depos-
ators, and $1,000 10000 of deposits These
deposits represent the savings of
wage earners and other persons of small

DR.. Sang, now of Crown Point, but form

end of trouble for the State Medical
Board by getting out an injunction against
it for interfering with his practice by re-
fusing to recognize his diploma. Dr. Sang
seems to have reason on his side when he
asks in effect, why a medical school es-
tablished in 1407, and which had been at
tended by nine generations of his family,
should be ignored by a body whose country
was not even discovered at that time by it's
ancestors, and whose medical science is
very modern and necessarily crude in COM
parison. BY what right. he wants TO know,
does this presumptuous body assume that
its own methods are the only correct ones
under the sun, and refuse to grant him a
license when he has a diploma from an
ancient and honored Institution. and has
practiced for many years, with results no
more fatal than If he were a regular in
good standing? Apparently. the only thing
the board can do is TO add the Canton col
lege to its list of acceptable institutions
