SOME QUESTIONS OF NAMES.

One of the minor yet real and widespread
woes Of war. or even OF exploration in alien
lands is the plague of diverse forms OF names
The names are often outlandish and jawbreak-
ing in any form. But when there are hait
dozen different spellings OF each, with all OF
which one must keep himself familiar. the Stu
alton becomes one OF unmltigated horror. 10
take n single mild example close ut hand. what
perplcyity there has been over klondike, or
Klondykc. or Clondkc. or Clondyke. or what
ever II may be. If we go back little fur-
Their. TO the Greek war and Crctan insurrecuon'
what memories arise Of Canea and Chanla ana
Khanca: of Retimo and Rehymo: Of Phersala
and Pbarsala and Phersalos and Pharsalos, ana
all the rest Of them.
But all these are a mere foretaste or ortho-
graphic pcrplexlties compared with what now
comes upon us in an Indian campaign. is the
trouble on the borderland Of Hindostan or Hin
duston? Amid the Hindoo Koosh or Hlndu
Kush Mountains? Around the Khyber Pass or
the Khaibar? Are the Afrds or the Afreedees
concerned in 1t? Is Beloochistan or Beluchstan
or Baluchisan in danger OF disanecton! Is
,bc fellow who stirred up the row the Mullah
of Haddah or the Moulvie OF AIDA: Is ne
disciple of the Akhoond, or Akhound, or An
kound. Of Swat? Is he n friend or foe OF the
Amccr of Cabul, or Cabool, or kabul! Sucn
oro tho yeyatious questions that crowd thick
and fast upon the heels of every days dis
patches.
Nor IS II TO be wondered nj that this is so,
seeing how high authorities disagree concern
ING loncfamiliar names. We have all heard OF
the Sopoy Mu,iny. But Colonel Madison tells
us II was the Sipahl MutIny. 1t broke out not

honest government he inerprets as mandate
"from the voters TO the officials of the city that

can find fault with that, for In effect it means
tha, In city where persons of diverse party

themselves first with their guardianship before
they think Of rewardng this or that body Of
citizens for asking protection. This means no
warfare on party but simply the subordination
OF organization TO city interests whenever they
