The cause OF this, as explained by Dea-

had been represented to him that the
society in question would bring with
them a large crowd from Washington,
in addition to several hundred'of their

ANACONDA, Mont, Nov. 1G.-After
the political storm of the past two
months, it behooves the American voter
as a wise mariner to look at the COM
pass and find whittier our ship of state
has been drifting. L During the politioa al

some that the "silvcr question" was
dead and no longer an issue in Ameri-
can politics. Among these contentious
and others of both national and local
Importance, believe it is perfectly cam
did and truthful to say that u desire to
sustain Mckinley in his war policy,
though infamous and inhuman as it
was, had more to do with saving the
next congress to the Republicans than
all other things combined. Be this as
it may. we find now, and will for some
time to come, the Republican press in

my original purpose The reader who
likes to delve into our history will find
enough to prompt him to research, and

grow.
There is another word in local Use
which has apparently spread from the
Irish settlements in Pennsylvania and
on the Alleghenies to the south and
west, that l suspect to be or Irish ori-
gin. In those sections they do not set
dog on, or hiss him on, but "sick'
him on something. Now the query is
whether this is not verb formed from
sioc (sil), which means hardy and OF
great endurance, and is used in the
sense of give it to him. "show him
how fierce you are" shall not urge
this point, lest l be put on a par with
the photographer who derived sock
doager from doxology.
There is another fact of some interest
In connection with the subject. In
looking for the word shamrock, or,
rather for its root, you will find it in
sheamrog. which is defined to be peg,
as noun. But as an adjective it means
soothing or healing. The Irish diction-
ary also gives another meaning to the
noun, namely. the sheep sorrel, or
oXalis. Acetosella. This was undoubt-
edly, the original shamrock, whose tre-
foil leaves ST. Patrick used as an illus
tration of the trinity in preaching to the
pagans of Erin. The modern sham
rock, however, is the Trifolum repens.
or creeping clover. Both of these are
natives of Ireland We have several
species of oxalis here, crispa being the
most common. 1t is doubtful if any of
the clovers be original in this country.
The Irish oxalis is to be found in Ger
tain sections here, and the creeping clo-
YER also. but they will be found mostly,
If not altogether in localities first peo-
pied by the Irish. They are not indi-
genous but were introduced by the set
tiers at one time or other in memory Of
their home. Irishmen frequently import
specimens of the modern shamrock at
some cost for use on a festive occasion,
but they can easily obtain it without
bringing it across the Atlantic.
