FAMILY NAMES LIKE THINGS.
Some Peculiarities Picked From the
Washington City Directory.

1t is curious how many family names
to be found in the city directory are
substantially like those of familiar
things. Take for instance the seasons:
Ihere is Spring, also Winter, and if
there is no Summer there is a Sum-
mers, and though there may be no Fall
there is Falls. Those that follow the
months are January, March and May.
AS to names like those of. the smaller
subdivisions of calendar time, Day is
well known, also Weeks, while, though
there may be no such name as To-mor-
row, there is family name Morrow.
AS for familiar things in nature, take
for instance, Dew, Frost, Snow Cloud,
Storm and Gales. Raines and Hale
To family names like those of min
erals it is easy to think OF Flint, Cole.
Rock, Stone, Garrett, Diamond and
Jewell; and of metals Gold and Silver
and Steele. Aye and Waters suggest
the elements and Mould and Clay are
not unlike earth. AS to things in the
heavens there is Moon and Starr, and
OF the compass, West as well as North.
There is a considerable number of
family names like those of colors, as
White, Black, Green, Blue, Purple,
Violet, Scarlet, Brown and Gray. Like
names of various members or features
of the body are Hand, Armes, Legg,
Foote, Bone, Chime, Hare, Beard,
and there is also a family name of
Man. Like those of names borne by
Kidd, Colt, Badger. Hogg Hare and
Wolf. There are many family names
that are exactly like or similar to
things in plant life or their produc-
lions, as, for example, the names
Plant, Rose, Flower, Budd, Wheat,
Oats, Cotton, Berry, Bean, Plum and
Cherry; and Cakes, Ashe, Pine and
Maple. A familiar family name is that
of Root and others are Branch, Stem
and Twiggs.
Bird, Wing, Heron and Wren sug-
gest themselves; also Crane, Crow and
Larke. Fish is family name, and
Others that might be mentioned here
are Haddock. Pine, Roach, Bass and

Next take military titles, Marshall
Major and Sergeant; and peoples

Dutch; while among family names like
those of countries there are England
ireland, France and Wales. The onel
that resemble buildings are Church
TEMPLE, Abbey and Tower. Anothe
family name is House; another
Mills, and the name of Barnes /

The. Miners Strike.

1t was hoped that the operators and
the miners in the Pennsylvania an
thracite region wovld be able to COM
promise their differences and prevent
a crisis. This hope has been disap-
pointed. Nearly 10000 men have laid
down their tools, and the strike is on.
A careful consideration of the de-
mands made by the miners reveals
nothing essentially unjust. First of
all the miners demand a legal ton.
The state laws of Pennsylvania make
legal ton 2,240 pounds, but these
miners must dig 1880 pounds for ton.
Second, they demand their pay in cash
every two weeks. In this demand they
are also backed up by the law of the
state, which is violated by the opera
tors, who compel the miners to take
store orders. Third, the miners de-
mand that they shall have their own
weighmoster. Fourth, they ask to be
permitted to hire their own physician.
Fifth, they demand the right to buy
their powder in open market rather
than pay exhorbitant prices to the
operators. Sixth, they ask that all
employees be treated alike in the furn-
ishing of cars. Seventh, they ask that
all differences be impartially arbitrat-
ed.-Des Moines News.
Read the demand of the miners
again. The operators bill the dealers
1000 pounds for ton, the laws of
Pennsylvania gives them 2,24o pounds
but they exact 1880. Their powder
they buy at the company store at
s2.75 keg, the price in the open mar
ket is s1.OO a key. Is there in ali
! America one clergyman who dare state
the grievances of the miners to their

For Homeseekers.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
R'y will sell regular Homeseekers' Elk
cursion tickets to all points in South
Dakota, at one fare plus So for the
round trip, on September 18th and
October 2, 1900. This will enable
parties to visit the Corn Belt eXposi-
tion to be held in Mitchell, S. D., Sep
TENDER 26 to October 4, 1900, inclusive
This exposition is held to demonstrate
the greatagricultural resources, wealth
and possibilities of this thriving state.
The exposition is held in gorgeously
decorated corn palace which for beau
ty can hardly be excelled anywhere by
building of temporary nature.
There are thousands of acres of cheap
lands left in South Dakota that will,
under the present conditions in that
state, rapidly increase in price, and
the holding of this corn palace with
its many attractions, that both amuse
and instruct, should be an opportuni-
ty that all land and investment seek
er8 should embrace.

Respecting the candidacy Of Hon.
John Foley for congress, the Waverly
Independent, a republican paper, is
constrained TO say:
In the fourth district the Democrats
have nominated Hon. John Foley of
New Hampton, for congress. Nobody
expects the democrats to win in that
district this fall but if John should
get there the people of that district
would have no occasion to mourn.
John is one Of the best Democrats in
the district, and when it comes to
ability, Judgment, honor and common
decency, he stands head and shoulders
above some of the miss-representa-
tiyes with which that district has
been afflicted during the past quarter
of century. Especially true of its
present representative.

Thieves too Well Protected.

The threat of Major Rathbone of
Havana to make trouble for the re-
publican party if he should be unduly
pressed, seems to have been effective.
Nicely will not be extradited until long
after the November election and
Rathbone may fare sumptuously every
day without fear of official interfer-
ence with his plans and pleasures. 1t
is this sort of things, rather than the
CHATTER of partisan rodomontade, that
is sapping the confidence of the Amer
lean people in the republican admins
tration. There is too much wholesale
stealing and too nSlch protection fol

Both republican papers in this end of

about the men who attack Mckinley
as they did Grant. If they will kindly
reprint some Of the things Murat
Halstead, who is now chief literary
scribe for the the National republi
can committee said'of GIANT because
of his effort for a third term, it may
soften their rage. Halst lad was then
as now a republican, but not then as
now, in favor of imperialism as against
the republic. The sin of democrats
then was in copying Halstead, now in
copying Lincoln's words.

Mr.. Bryan's prediction that the
''full dinner pail" shibboleth will be
dropped before the close of the cam
paign is certain to be verified. The
assumption that all he cares for is a
"full dinner pail" is an insult to the
wage-earner. When his appetite is
satisfied the hog is content. The
wage-earner will infallibly resent the
implication that he is a
swine,--a belly without heartor brain.

May Garry Ohio. Ho! Ho!

1t is not impossible that one of the
surprises of this years presidential
contest may be the capture of the cleo
toral vote of Ohio for Bryan. His sup
porters generally are not counting on
the state, and yet it may bring up the
Bryan column. Mayor Jones of Tole-
do, who in 1895 supported Mckinley,
has announced thas this year he will
work and vote for his opponent, and
i this leads the New York Journal. te
observe:
eat the, election Mayor Jones
got 1o6,72 votes for governor of Ohio
If three fourths of these voters should
follow him to the support of Bryan,
the Kansas City ticket would carry
Ohio even if the strength of parties
in other respects remained as it was
last year. But it will not remain so.
Mclean VIGOROUSLY fell far short OF
polling the full democratic vote in
1899. The party in Ohio was rent by
factional discords. Now it is united
for Bryan"
The accession of such men as Mayor
Jones, unselfsh, public spirited, re-
garding the ballot as a sacrament, is
we'll worth the loss of a few former
democrats whose god is money, an6
who will sell the republic to boom the
stock market.

Some of those who are watching
the Belgian hare craze which is
sweeping this country at present fear
that when it subsidies the land will
be afflicted with pest which will
threaten the agriculture. T. S. Pal
mer, acting chief of the biological sur
vey, has sent out warning letters in
which he suggests that steps be taken
to keep under observation the hares
that have been liberated and that all
possible measures be adopted to dis
courage the liberation of the animals.
All countries have these crazes for
animals not Indigenous to them.
Japan 20 years ago went daft over
rabbits and pigs, and the Spectators
made vast sums Of money out of them.
The Chronicle two years ago was the
first newspaper in the country to
predict the coming hare craze. There
are several thousand Belgian hares in
and about the city.
