"Once, when Long John Wentworth
was mayor of Chicago, says The Jour
nal of that city, "a hot campaign was
in progress The rough element was
showing signs of turbulence, and Long
John knew that the police force was
totally unable to cope with it if there
should be riot. There wasn't much of
any police force in those days. The few
officers that there were didn't have any
uniform outside of plug hat On the
front of this was semioircle of tin,
with the mans number on it.
"There was no money to pay for ad-
ditional officers, SO Long John be-
thought himself of bright scheme He
had figure o. added to the number on
every one of those hats. On election
day the different members of the force
were stationed conspicuously where the
trouble was most likely to break out.
The roughs saw the numbers, $780,
900, $50, etc. where they had be-
fore seen only 20, '29' and 3d. The
word went around that Long John had
added several hundred men to the po-
lice force, and the tough crowd were SO
intimidated that they never dared to do

spanlsb-American Words.

Many English words are taken direct
~ from the Spanish When you speak
of a Piocadilly collar, you are not using
slang. The "piccadallo" is a collar
which at one time was worn by all men
of position in Spain.
A few years since many American
cities boasted of companies of volunteer
soldiers called grenadiers.
The first grenadiers were in Grenada.
Our marines, CT whom we are specially
proud just now, got their name by clip
ping the last syllable off "marineros, :"
which is the equivalent Spanish word.
Rye bread without caraway seeds
would not be rye bread at all. Caraway
is purely Spanish word, derived from
"alcara hueya.
The hammock on your veranda got
its name from the Spanish "hamaca, !"
although that is not purely Spanish
word. Columbus got it from the In
dams 400 years ago.
There are many other examples.
Banana" apricot, Canada, ;"
duel and "palaver" are all directly
from the Spanish. Chicago Dispatch.

reasons upon which the people Of

The County Commissioners seem
to be still quibbling over this plain
duty.
They seem to be incapable Of tax
ing a broad, statesmanlike and pa
triotic view OF matter that involves
more directly and seriously the wei
fare of this county than any ques-
ton that has ever been committed

They seem disposed still to higgle
and delay relief from public evil

through their stupidity and lack Of
even horse sense, been eating at the
very vitals of our business prospect

The time has now come for the
property holders and business men
cf this county to assert themselves.
II they can longer remain passive
and inert under this great wrong
and this criminal neglect of their
official servants we very much mis-
take the temper Of this population.
Ii this session Of the conunty
commissioners is adjourned without
action. there ought to be public
convention Of the people Of this
county called at once. Two lines of
action are open to us and one or the
other ought to be taken and pushed
to swift contamination.
Either the power of the people or
power of the courts ought to be
adopted as the agency to upturn and
overturn and send out of office this
incompetent tribunal with the ban
of public condemnation resting up
on it.
If the former course is adopted,
let public convention demand their
resignation. If they do not imme-
diately respond, then, there is a
good round majority of this people
who will see that in due time they
are retired to obscurity never again
to occupy public office.
If the latter course is selected, let
the best legal talent to obtain from
the courts legal process to compel
this derelict tribunal to discharge
its plain duty to the public.

HELL UPoN EARTH.
Report OF New Yorker Upon Conditions In
Cuban Prisons.

New York, Dec, 21.-Charlton 7.
Lewis. president OF the New York
Prison association, who went to cuba
on behalf Of the State and other organ
lzations in the United States has made
sensational report to the secretary
of war in regard TO the penal instltu-
lions on the island, He contends that
this government is responsible and says
that a truthful description Of the pris-
ons would arouse universal indignation
which would probably be misdlrected.'
After urging this government,
through the war department, to stop
the "intolerable cruelty and injustice
which now constitute a national dis
grace" Mr.. Lewis adds;
Great prisons are oyercrowded with
men and boys. Assasslns, brlgands,
pickpockets and young men charged
with dsOrderly conduct or merely
suspected Of slight offences, are herd
ed together In absolute idleness and UNI
restricted intercourse. With no change
of clothing, no blanket or semblance Of
bed. many hundreds sleep on bare
stones. where filth and vermin are kept
down only by constant sprinklIng with
disinfectants.
I'm some prisons the only dlsinfectant
known Is insect powder, and cases OF
tuberculosis, some Of them far advanced,
infest the rooms and doubtless spread
the seeds Of disease. Moral and physi-
cal contagion are promoted on a vast
scale together Most OF these prison.
ers have been proved guilty Of no Of
