WHAT THE EAGLE SIGNIFIES.


why IL was CHOSEN IA the Embiemae's
Bird of America.
From the Detroit Free Press: In
ancient mythology the eagle was be-
lieved to carry the souls Of the dying
to their abode on Mount Olympus and
vas called the bird of Jove. The eagle
was first taken as a symbol of royal
power by the ancient Etruscans, who
bore its image upon their standard.
In the year 81 B. c.. a silver eagle.
with extended wings, poised on the
top OF a spear, with a thunderbolt held
In Its claws. was adopted as the mill
tary standard to be borne at the head
Of their legions by tho Romans. At
the time Of Hadrlan a golden eagle
was substituted for the silver one. A
two-headed eagle was adopted by the
byzantine emperors as a symbol OF
their control Of both the east and the
west. The d~ouble-headed eagle of
Russia was adopted on the marriage
OF Ivan |. with a Grecian princess OF
the eastern empire; that of Austria
was first used when the emperor of
Germany took the title Of Roman EN-
peror. The national standard Of Rus
STA bears a black eagle, that of Poland
a white one. Napoleon L. took a gold
en- eagle for his standard. modelled Of
pure gold and bearing a thunderbolt,
after the pattern of the eagle Of the
Romans. This standard was disused
under the Bourbons, but was restored
by a decree Of Louis Napoleon in 1852.
The eagle was first used on American
coins in 1888, on cents and half-cents
Issued from the Massachusetts, mint.
1t was adopted in the plan of a nation
al coinage as a design upon all gold
coins and on the silver dollar, half
dollar and Quarter-dollar. The design
OF the eagle was at one time suggested
for the national flag, but was aban-
doned.

A ARRIVAL.

We scarcely know of anything that
could be more useful to the public Off
cial or more indispensable to an attor-
ney than the Christmas token which
Secretary Chatterton is now ready to
give out. We refer to the Revised
Statutes Of Wyoming. 1t has been a
difficult matter for a citizen to learn
what the laws of the state were which
he was Obliged to obey. Even the
judges found it troublesome to define
the laws on ccoun of the muddle they
were in and they, in common with all
who have to do with public affairs
ting q copy OF the splendid compila-
tion which has just been published.
The volume is a credit to the chairman
of the compiling commission, J.. A.
Van Orsdel, and to Secretary Chatter
ton, who has given great care to its
arrangement and preparation. 1t also
speaks we'll for The Laramie Republic
can company as a fine specimen of ty-
biography and press work. Everything
about the book is first-class and does
honor to those who had a hand in it's
preparation.
And right here it is not untimely to
call attention to the urgent demand
made by the Sun-Leader for the pub.
LEGATION Of the statutes. 1t was prob
ably due to our insistenoe, against all
opposition, that the legislature directed
the work to be done. To remove the
idea that this paper was actuated by a
motive of self-interest, We stated no
bid for the work would be made by the
Sun-Leader. and non was offered.
1t is worthy of note that eastern
printing houses were allowed to COM
pete for the work and that the lowest
OF them, the Lincoln Journal. was
about $1,000 higher than the successful
bidder. This is the more remarkable
as the Nebraska concern had the rep
utation of doing remarkably cheap
printing. 1t is a fact, however, that
the prices for printing in Wyoming are
at bedrock, while the quality is faI
above the average.
In conclusion we congratulate the
people Of Wyoming upon the fact that
1t is now possible to know something
about the laws Of the state at a cost
of 81. 1t would have been better. how
ever, to have made the price not to
exceed $5.-Sun-Leader.

A quantity worded memorial has
been presented to the dowager empress
OF China and her faineant son on the
subject of mining concessions to for
eigners. In the opinion Of the China
men who have drawn up this memorial
and who 'implore the sacred glance Of
their Majesties" Tor their strictly COM
mercial proposal, the tsung-li-yamen
and the board of mines have been a
great deal too free in the granting of
concessions. Whole districts have been
assigned to the concessionaires instead
of clearly defined spots, whilst hon
est, upright and worthy gentry and
merchants are left out in the cold.
The memorialists propose that in fu-
ture Cinnamon and foreigners shall
own an equal number Of shares In any
mining company. They go a step
further, and claim that the direction of
mining companies shall rest in tho
hands of Chinese merchants; and "if
foreigners object to this system, and
ask that the direction be placed in
their hands, their request shall not be
entertained" The rapid advance in
the last sentence from . business-like
suggestion to sheer eXclusiveness Is
decidedly amusing.

The Collecting Mania.

Berlin furnished an extraordinary
exhibition of the collecting mania re-
Gently. The German postofices uses
numbers for the months in stamping
letters. and on Sept. 8 collectors de-
termined to obtain the usual sequence
Of mines from district ofice No. SO.
whose stamp on that day would read
s9.9.9.99. A mob Of over a thousand
persons stood outside the office when
It opened, so that the police had to be
called on to keep it in order and all
available help was sem from the gen.
sral %postofice to handle the mail mat
ter. The rush continued during the
day and at night the police had to use
force to %disperse the crowd that was
awaiting after the closing hours and
to enable the officials to leave the Of
office. Sixty thousand pieces Of mail
we're stamped during the day.
