Lieut.. ToTTEN, the eminent mathemati.

fates and tho loEarithms again, whore he reads
calauitous auRuries. In 4 letter to the NeU

tho following passage:

We cannot believe that truth 10 q bear. May
not Lieut. ToTTEN have been deceived by poetry
and by the intricate number seven, which is
suspected to contain everything that has been,

have been misunderstood. Instead Of "the

the Freisinnige party. 1t Is said, however,
that eighty.four Socialists will stand for
election on the ballotd0e. This means, OF
conrse, that in each Of those districts tho
Socialist candidate was one Of the two
highest. Should the Socialists win even
n third Of those eighty.four oonstitu-
encies, they will control sixty seats in
the new Reichstag, as against A In the
last. We are told that the vote OF the So
~ciallsts exceeds 1900. 900, which is an In
crease of over 200, 900 since 1892. If. af-
ter the 9dlLotdoc, the Centrlsts are oundt to
control 10 seats, which now seems not
improbable, and the Socialists have go,
these two groups, which often act together
in opposition TO the Government, will fall
but 20 votes short of q majority.

carry Il up to the neighborhood Of $780,
600, 900, It would still be less than the
Ludlow estimate.
We think, therefore, that the prospects
Of the canal enterprise, as indicated by this
first statement from the Walker Commits
sion, are promising. 1t was not at all dis
couraging that the estimates Of the Gov
ernmcnt experts should be about double
those OF the %company's engineers. The
latter naturally took the benefit OF all
doubts and adopted rose-colored views,
whereas the Governments representatives
will be conservative, and will even allow
margins for unforeseen expenses.
The Ludlow Commission found that sew
eral features Of the proposed cana had
not been adequately studied, n that some
OF them, like the Ocboa dam for example,
were so important that they needed to be
Investigated thoroughly before 1t could be
positively declared that the enterprise was
feasible at all. But it also suggested that,
as to this particular dam, there might per-
haps be found a substitute about which
there need be no apprehension. Now we
find Admiral WALKER saying that by mod
flying the c%ompany's plans one or more OF
its proposed dams could be avoided.
We may await with confidence, therefore,
the flnal conclusion of the Governments
Investigations on the line of the canal and
It's approaches. After that work is finished
and the report is rendered, Congress will
be able to supply the proper legislation for
carrying on the work.

Theory About the Word Amsr,Oa.

To THE EDITOR OF THE suN-Sfr In THE sUx of last
Monday, I think. appeared q criticism of the title
Americans. as applied exclusively to the people of this
country.
Your reply was to the point. But the writer wishes
to call your attention to the full signincance OF tho
name In question.
America is the Latinized form OF tho old Gothic
name limerick, tho name of a Gothic king OF tho
fourth century. which tho GothS scattered all over
Europe. In England 1t is Emery. In Italy It is Amer.
igo. It was brought TO England by a Norman knight,
Gilbert D'Amre. who fought at Hastings. and whose
name stands inscribed on the roll OF Battle Abbey in
both lists. that OF Stowe and that of HoilinRsworth.
William the Conqueror gave him a barony at Thack.
indou, near oxford. on the Thames. The church
which he built stands there to-day.
The meaning OF the name is erich. powerful, uni.
versal ruler" which fact any ono can md stated in
any dictionary Of surnames.
What more appropriate, moro glorious title for tho
people OF this country could destiny have Intended?
II the writer mistakes not, George Washington, in
his farewell address. designated this a. our proper
anu rightful name. ME-.
