WASHINGTON LETTE Il.
From Our Regular Correspondent;

From Our Regular Correspondent:
Washington, Oct 20, 1890.
The Presidents return from his west
ern trip, which was correctly deEigna-
ted as a public pulse-teeling expedition
was signalized by the semi-oficial an
nOHncement that he had fully deter
mined to throw down the gauntlet to
the anti-expansiOnists by coming out
fiat and strong for the permanent re-
tention of the Philippines, in his an
nual message to Congress. There is
not the slighte doubt that this is one
of the results OF the Presidents feeling
OF tie public pulse. While his talk
had indicated his personal opinion to
be in favor Of the permanent retention
of the Philippines, he had carefully
avoided saying so, previous to the trip,
In fact, shortly before that trip, he had
almost decided not to make any specific
recommendation to Congress on the
subject. A member of the Presidential
party says the President was fully con-
Vinced on bis trip that large majority
OF the people, regardless Of political
lines, favored the retention of the Phil
ippineS, and made up his mind to make
that recommendation to Congress.
Secretary Hay on the part Of the q,

A Southern JambOree.

We have just received from the pub
fishers a copy of this most unique mus
ical composition. 1t is certainly one of
the most catchy and attractive pieces of
m usic that we have ever heard. 1t is
almost impossible to keep your still
while it is being played and it is max
ing as big a hit as Georgia Camp
Meeting" A sufficient guarantee of its
merit is the fact that it is from the pen
of Mr.. j. w. Lerman, the composer of
the now famous "Kaya Kaya Dance" Z"
1t has been dedicated to Mr. ThOs. F.,
Shannon and introduced by him and his
famous Twenty-Third Regiment Band,
N. G. s. N. R. Mr.. Shannon, who was
formerly manager of Sousa's Great
Band, knows good thing when he sees
it and he is having such success in play
ing it that Sousa, Innis, Brooke, Wash
ington Marine and all the largest and
best bands in the country have taken
it up and are now playing to most en-
thusiastic audiences. The regular price
of this music is SOC a copy, but if our
readers will be sure to mention the
name of this paper they can secure q
copy by sending zoe to the Union Mutu'

Chilhowee, Eldeo. Euchee, Sewanee,
Strawanee, Shawnee, Tennessee, etc.
OF words mutilsted we have the follow
ing: Sequatchie, Wauhatchie, Hatchie,
Mike and Niche. The three arst
are on the line OF the N, C, q St. L.
r. r., one OF the parties interested in
coercing our people, and the other two
are on the other side of the Tennessee
River, where Cherokee influence geo
graphically was not strong.
Old residents tell US that the word is
derived from sequa hog, and chee feed
ing place 1t may be argued that the
structure OF the language would not al
low OF such word as chee, but when
we remember that is not a consonant
but a breathing, the difficulty, If there
was any, is removed At this time we
would also note that Capt. Long is not
quite correct in spelling sequa, sequaw'
as the W is superHuous, and the struct-
ure OF the language does not require it.
The United States Postal Guide va
ries greatly. In 1898 in the alphabet
cal list it spells the name sequtachie;
in the list by states, Sequachee; and
the name of the county, Sequatchie.
But errors will creep even into an in
fallible government publication, and
experience has taught US that it is not
necessary to go to mad house or in
sane asylum to find cranks and idiots,
when an equal opportunity is given in
government Office.
How much easier the word is to be
traced philologically by taking the two
Cherokee words sequa, a hog, and chee,
a feeding place, of whose spelling there
seems to be no room for doubt, putting
them together with a hyphen If you
wish,) and thus having word that
means something and we'll illustrates
the fertility and productiveness Of this
far-reaching valley.
James NJ. Bowron, than whom there
is no greater authority on things per-
tanning to this valley, says in his
Handbook of the Sequachee Valley"
Corn is the principal crop. Years be-
fore the pale face had crossed the Blue
Ridge into Western North Carolina as
it was then called--the Cherokees rails
ed immense crops Of corn, and so gave
the place its name, compound of two
Indian words, sequa hog, and chez a
feeding place This should disturb the
rest of those who would spell the name
'Sequatchie'."
With this we will close the argument,
stating, however, that as long as the
NEws has any respect for itself or its
convictions, it will spell the name OF
its town Sequachee, and in no other
way, unless the name be completely
changed by vote Of its property holders
and cit zens, We have no interest in
this matter beyond that of right and
justice. The place has been named So
quachee, property has been bought and
sold under that name, and numbOrlesi
legal instruments are on file to that ef
feet The legislature, the railroad anC
the post office department do not know
what we want, do not appear to want t.
know, and have never consulted ou
people in regard to the matter. But
strong backing of intelligent and loya
citizens stand by us on this question
and are indignant at this usurpation o
their right.

A BLOW AT wHITwELL.

We Opine that South Pittsburg is
now feeling the benefits of trust as
the two newspapers published there
announced last week that the
pipe works have shut down IN
definitely. The Statesman Democrat
puts the number of employees thus
made idle at 200, the Hustler at 1876.
The S. d. gives the loss to the city
at $4,000 per month; the Hustler
puts it at $4,000. The Hustler in
explaining the cause, says: "They
have been using Whitwell coke,
which has proved very unsatisfact-
Ory to the management of the pipe
works as its heating qualities did not
reach what they required to melt
iron for pipe.''
This is news, indeed. We have
always been induced to believe that
coke made from Whitwell or Tracy
City coal was superior to all others,
excepting that from the Flat Top re-
gion, Virginia, and we have analyses
in our possession stating that coke
made from coal mined from either
Whitwell or Tracy, contained 80 per
cent. fixed carbon.
We are sorry for South Pittsburg.
1t is hard blow.

have access to the daily papers.
Attention is also called to The Re-

proposed by the committee on
entertainment, OF which Mr..
Markey is chairman, that the
merchants Of the city will be af-
forded an opportunity to compete
with one another along advertise
ing lines. A special day will
probably be set aside for this
event, which will be in the ma
ture Of parade, somewhat along
the lines indicated for the carni-
val Of parishes. Advertising
floats designed by the merchants
themselves will be arranged on
the course Of the race track. An
entrance fee will very likely be
charged for this, and interest
will be stimulated by the offer OF
suitable money prize.
Anothe matter Of general in
terest is the fact that there viii
be a flower parade. This also
partakes largely Of the nature OF
an entertainment, and though IL
will very likely be given over to
the horticultural committee for
management, the flower parade
should however, not be confound-
ed in any manner with tho flower
show. The latter is fixed ex-
hibit, while the former is a pa
rade Of vehicles of every descrip-
ton, whose nature would admit
Of high floral ornamentation
Such pageant was recently
given in Atlanta and there was
the keenest sort Of competition
engendered between owners OF
