The Patriotism OF the South.

The Hon. JOHN ]. INGALLS,, formerly q
Senator from Kansas, said recently at
Washington. on his return from an extern
sivc journey through the South, that he
found the temper of the people concerning
the Maine disaster normal and judicial, but
also thoroughly and earnestly patriotic.
al heard no sentiment for war except as q
last resort for the defence Of the nation"
said Mr.. INGALLS,. Everywhere he was
struck with 1.-THE growth and development
of the national spirit in the South the
disappearance of 1.-THE narrow provincial
ism of the past" and the universally Of
the evidences that eff war should come,
the veterans of LEE and SToNEwALL JACK
SON would strive to surpass the veterans of
GRANT and SHERIDAN in their devotion to
the honor and glory of the nation"
These expressions of opinion by a man
distinguished for his extreme Republican
ism are treated by the Times Of Richmond
rs an encouraging indication that public
men of his political conviction are begin
ming to understand the South better, and,
consequently, are giving it the admiration
which is due to its American patriotism.
Mr.. INGALLS,, says the Richmond paper,
correctly describes the tone and spirit Of
the Southern people. "They are perfectly
calm and self.possessed, but to a man they
are resolved to stand by the Government in
any complication that may arise out of the
Cuban matter, and If war becomes neces-
sary, they will embark their last life and
their last dollar in the nations cause"
"The belief is general among the Southern
people that the Maine was blown up by de-
sign. and not by accident" it adds, but that
the Spanish Government had no hand In
It," the almost unanimous feeling being
that "some Spanish flends did the foul
deed upon their own initiative"
This declaration of Southern sentiment
agrees with the expressions of It which we
find in Southern newspapers generally and
with the tone Of the great body of journals
in all parts of the Union. The spirit mani.
tested throughout is distinctively conserv-
alive. Except in a few sensational jour
nails, we discover nowhere n buster, i'm
patience, or disposition to take u snap
Judgment in the Maine case, but every
where patient waiting for the facts as
they shall be brought out and made known
by the Board of Inquiry.
The confidence that the Administration
at Washington will pursue a firm and con-
scrvativc course, which will protect the
homo and dignity of the nation, according
as the developments of tho Maine inves-
tigation shall require, is substantially
unanimous in all parts of the Union.
The sentiment of the South, as reported
by Mr.. INGALLS, and represented by the
Richmond Times, is simply the American
sentiment ms it is universally, and its mani
festation affords the best assurance the
world conld have that war with Spain will
not occur. Such hearty and united de-
termination proves to Spain that she could
not enter into war with us without invit-
Ing inevitable and speedy defeat, the con-
sequences OF which would be wholly disas-
trous for her, while the damage of war to
US would be brief and superficial only.

The following question concerning Chi.

ITO THE EDITOR OF THE suS-Sfr: The other day
the origin OF the name OF our city became the subject
of discussion. We turned to the Standard Dictionary
and learned that Chicago IL a emil. mfg. city and
lakeport; Of Cook county. H. p. 1909. $50: great fire.

said Chicago simpiy.means skunktown. Is that SO?
"CHIcAGo. March l.. N. L. NORTON"
In DR.. HoFFMAN's monograph on tho Menom.
ini Indians. which forms part of the fourteenth
annual report of the Bureau of Ethnology at
Washington. two legends are offered as explain.
ing tho polecat origin of the name of Chicago.
Here is the first:
1.-THE Menomint have o tradition to the effect that
some Potawatomi Indians used to live in the marshes
where the city of Chicago is now situated. These
Indians reported good hunting. so that when some
Menomini went there for game their dogs would bark
during the night but every time the hunters arrived
at the spot they found that only skunks had caused
the alarm"
The other tradition is more elaborate, and It
has been preserved by tho Ojibwa tribe:
IAN Ottawa hunter and his wife lived with tho
o1ibwa tribe. further north. on the shore of Lake
Michigan. Taking his wife with him this hunter went
southwark to hunt on a lake somewhere between the
present cities OF Chicago and Milwaukee. When he
reached the lake. where he had the previous year
caught beaver. 1t was still covered with ice, but on
sounding 1t with a piece Of wood he soon discovered
the thinner places where the animals had consre-
gated. He therefore broke holes at these weak

that many articles adulterated arc not made
