Colonel is from the medieval Latin
coronella. dT2inutive of columna, a
column. A colonel was an officer who
marched at the i'ead of the column.
Until recently sergeant was held to
be from the Persian sariank, a sub
ordinate officer thus being the only
one of our military titles not traceable
to a Latin source. ........ g..
The lowest and the highest of the
officers Of a. company bear titles de-
rived from the same word. Captains
and corporalsare, therefore, head men.
The word from which captain is i'm
mediately derived Is the medieval
Latin capitaneus, a head man. Ger
man hauptman and Polish hetman
carry the same idea.
A major was once a captain major,
or superior captain, just as now the
highest noncommissioned officer is .
sergeant major. The captain was long
ago dropped from the compound title
and the maj ior alone retained. \ gen.
eral was one whose command was over
the army in general. From general
officer the title came to be simply gen.
eral.
Most of the navy titles that differ
from army titles explain themselves.
Ensign is an old title obsolete in the
land forces, but still! preserved in the
navy. Admiral comes to us from the
Spanish, who BORROWED II from the
Arabic amiralbarrh, commander at
sea. Commodore is n corruption OF the
Spanish and. Portuguese commenda-
dor, q knight. a commander. so our
two highest naval titles come from the
despised I5eriau peninsula.

sure to be an element who can see
 no good in change, advancement or
 progress. The spirit which gave
 birth to the democratic party had
 it's conception in a fear that if the
 government of the new republic
 should have anything except the
 slightest semblance of power it
 would quickly merge into mon- archy. So the democratic party
 was born, and it steadfastly array ed itself against construction of highways, development of manu- features by protection, and many other beneficial measures which have in time become the settled policy of the country. And in the course of American history this modern cave of Adullam has been the refuge and haven of all the discontented and dissatisfied in the country from the time of the whiskey insurrection in Pen nsylvania in Washington's time. down through the shareholders S insurrection in the early sixties. to the silver fantatics' revolt under Bryan, against honest money. Nor can 1t be otherwise. In free government there will always be a party arrayed against the tenden- cies of the time. In the United States that party has always been and always will be the democratic party. Its history and its tradi- tions will admit of nothing else. And to patriotic Americans who approve the doctrines now ad- vanced by The Examiner there is only one party which meets the requirements of the occasion; the party of progress and advance ment-the republican party.

CLARA $. FoLTZ, the brilliant woman lawyer and journalist. hay ing tired of the effort to secure woman suffrage in California and New York, has removed to Denver Colorado, where she can enjoy the right; and she has there established a new journal named "The Mecca, !" which is devoted to the cause so near her heart. Mrs. Foltz is a most brilliant woman and her jour nal is we'll worth reading. THE OASIS observes that some of the Colorado free silver cranks are al- ready endeavoring to induce her to commit the policy of h.r paper to that exploded issue, while some of her New York admirers want her to do missionary work for the single gold standard. With sterling good sense she commits herself to neither. Free and unlimited suffrage is what "The Mecca" wants, and it will divert the attention of no reader from that by discussing finance. Here is to your success, Clara. THE OASIS wishes we'll to both yourself and the cause.

THE people of the United States will never be deluded into voting for a dollar which will buy but forty-seven cents worth of grub or clothing. And so long as Arizona persists ill voting for that kind of a dollar she will never have a chance to vote for United States senators.

CAN THE LEOPARD CHANGE HIS
 srOrSs


 by abandonment of all its previous policies of opposition to what has a tendency to make the United States great, wealthy and powerful na- ton. The Examiner declares that the popular will demands annexa- ton of the Philippines and other Spanish colonies. creation of a great navy, construction of the Nicaragua canal, development of a system for the army, and that the party op- posing these things has been re- pudiated by the people and will continue to be so repudiated so long as it follows blindly its past oppos- ition to progression. The Examiner insists that democratic leadership is responsible for the blind policy heretofore pursued and that the democratic party in it's rank and file demands change offront. So that worthy journal asserts that the mossbacked leaders of the party must come out of their shells, lead in heavy appropriations for the American navy until it becomes the finest in all the world; it insists that they lead in the work of build ing the Nicaragua canal under national auspices; it demands that they take the naval academy at Annapolis and the mili- tary school at West Point under their especial charge making them the greatest educational institu- tions of the kind in the world; and it finally demands that the demo- cratic leaders in Congress unite in giving a hearty support to Presi- dent McKinley's policy with re- gard to the Philippines.
 Now should the leaders of the democratic party do all demanded by The Examiner, the only differ ence between the two parties would be the silver issue, and as really all the great leaders of the party - Cleveland, Hill, Whitney, Carlisle, Croker, ct al- long ago embraced doctrine in advocating the single gold standard, why should not the democracy adopt the whole list of republican politics and make the country unanimous for everything for which the people have reposed confidence in the great party of national progression? Why not make it unanimous and everybody join the republican party? Every doctrine for which the dem ocratic party has ever stood has been battered into smithereens, and The Examiner recognizes the fact. That being the case there can be else for democrats to do but to join the republican party that is for the great mass of demo- crats who are patriotic Americans and believe in the manifest destiny of their country and their race.
 Can the democrat party do as The Examiner proposesf "Can the
