There has always been dispute re-
gardlng the meaning of the name OF
this state. The name itself il derived
from the name of the Alabamos tribe
Of Indians. a branch OF the Muscogee
or Creek tribe, either by blood relation.
ship or by conquest and subsequent
adoption by the Creeks, and there IL a
popular legend that the name was taxi
en- from nm expression used by the
chief OF the tribe upon the entry of the
tribe upon the lands now called by this
name. Finding the land good and the
climate inviting the chief is said to
have exclaimed: Here we rest" From
this the tribe came to be called the Ala
bamos.
This story has been objected to on
the ground that 1t Is not reasonable
that tribe should change Its name
because of such an incident In Its his
tory. 1t must have had name Mt the
time of Its migration, and name rem
dered dear to the tribe by its wander
ings II by no other experience. Besides,
the students of the language fail to
agree that this word has the precise
meaning tradition gives Ii. Gatscht. for
example. translates II to mean wood
clearers," deriving the name from the
Choctaw.
Anything that adds to our meager
store OF information on this subject Is
acceptable, and now we have offered us
something additional. II is reported by
Dabney White. In n letter to the HouS-
ton Post. He tells of the remnant OF the
tribe of the Alabamos now living in
Polk county, Tex, which people pre-
serve their language, traditions and
many of their ancient practices. II ap-
pears from Whites letter that woman
missionary, named Sylvestne, has lived
for many years with the tribe, and has
collected vocabulary of the Alabamos
language White says he aided the mis-
slonary in the preparation of the vo-
cabulary and nowhere in the language
could be found word or combination
of words sounding like Alabamos that
could be twisted into the meaning
Here we rest"
In the absence of other evidence 1t
is thought more reliance can be put
upon the tradition now held by the tribe
on the subject than upon that which
has been handed down through the
medium of the whites. The Indians say
they derive their name from pecu-
liarity of the tribe--the celebration of
the mulberry festival. a custom not OBJ
served by any other tribe. In their Ian
guage the combination of the words
ala behe- amo" literally means people
that gather mulberrles." From this
| combination OF words Alabama" Is de-
rived To substantiate their belief. 1t Is
| generally known that every Indian
tribe gets its name from some
| ldiosyncrasy of its members, Thou
sands OF mulberry trees are in theii
| home villages In Texas. and thew are
| cherished with more devotion than we
| cherish the survivors of the ancient
| "cedars of Lebanon"
| The evidence is not conclusive OF
| the question raised, but 1t is of more
than usual Interest as bearing directly
upon 1t, and perhaps making easier 1t!

GOLD IN THE PHILIPPINES.


Fl. c. Seaton. of Glasgow, Scotland,
stopping at the Brown Palace hotel,
says that the mineral wealth of the
Philippine islands makes them cx-
tremely valuable.

both because the nations are ignorant
and the Spanish lazy The Islands are

cations of the mineral abound, and In

The placer mines there produce 100
ounces a week, when they might be
made to produce 10000 a month, Coal
has been found in six great fields in
different islands. The beds vary from
ten to twenty feet in thickness. They
have never been developed properly or
extensively. There has been found iron
enough to supply all the East indies.
One hundred years ago the mines were
worked; now they are abandoned. The
copper ore alone Is utilized to any eN-
tent. The natives smelt and work II in
n crude way for the supply OF copper
utensils for the archipelago, but not for
expectation. 1t is rich but refractory,
running usually l6 per cent copper, "A

and per cent arsenic.

very great. Even under Spanish mis-
rule It has trebled in the last twenty

"There are great chances for Ameri-
cans to develop the mines trade, and

tages Is that of the plentitude of land,
