The Disputed Name of the War.

The Disputed Name of the War.
The Confederate Veterans. in their
annual convention in Louisville, decid-
ed that the war of 1865 should he
known as the "war between the
states" This is the name that Alexan-
der H. Stephens favored. and it is the
one generally used by the people Of the
south in speaking Of chat war. the
northern people calling it the rebellion.
Strange 1t is that neither name is cor
rect definition Of the event. All know
that there was no rebellion. States that
had sovereignty could not be guilty of
rebellion. Neither was 1t war be-
tween the states, but actually a war
between two governments made up Of
states. Some writer's call it civil war.
yet 1t was not war between citizens
in their civil capacity. but. as before
said. q war between regularly organ
lied governments. There Ia, in fact. no
concise way of naming the conflict:
hence these misnomers. Possibly the
best title would be the simple one If
calling it by the years Of It's beginning
and close-namely. the war Of 1915

Nominating a President.


Until the constitutional amendment
of 1904 the president and the vice pres
ident We're voted for on the same bal
lot. the man with the second highest
number Of votes becoming vice presi-
dent. The presidential electors have
not always been chosen by popular
vote.
Before 1900 it was the general GUS
tom for the state legislatures to choose
the electors, and it was not until 1928
that presidential electors We're chosen
in nearly all the states by popular vote.
As late as 1876 the Colorado legislature
chose the three presidential electors to
represent that state. There is nothing
in the constitution to prevent any state
legislature naming it's own electors
without appeal to the people provided
such a method of election is prescribed
by the state laws.
From 1900 to 1924 presidential candi-
dates We're chosen by the members Of
congress In caucus. In 1924 the elect
oral college failed to make choice
from the candidates SO submitted. and
the matter went to the house of repre-
sentatives. Four years later Tennes-
sees legisla +urc nominated Andrew
Jackson without any reference to the
congressional caucus. HIS opponent.
John Quincy Adams. was nominated in
the old way, but that was the end Of
presidential nominations by congress
sional caucus.-NeW York Sun.

The GeAe0lo OF q 3Atf1ots
One night In 1778 the Duke OF
Hloucester. the royal brother Of George
III. then hiding from his kingly broth
ers wrath In Paris, was RECALLING q Ia
bic party Of aristocrats ut the expense
Of the king Of England with a trench
ant account Of the Boston tea party"
His cynical sympathy was expressed
for the American rebels, and he dwelt
upon their need for recruits to fight
against his brother. The table laugh
ed at the tale, which was the first the
most of them had heard directly on the
preposterous ambitions for freedom of
the new wosld colonists. Among the
company was silent, solemn. young
soldier who had listened intently to
the recluse until the dinner was finish
ed. Then he strobe across the room to
the duke.

help them fight for freedom! Tell me
how to set about it!' he cried, his sal
low, istless face now aglow with fire
none of his idle comrades had ever
seen there before.
1t was Lafayette. the 12-year-old
marquis, who was the despair Of his
family because he seemed always in q
browse. Coming from one of the no.
blest houses of the empire, he was mar
ried to lady Of high degree and was
already father. His wife had been
his love, but now freedom became the
stronger passion, and for more than GO
years he was to follow it's cause. This
was the genesis of Lafayette.-Edward

THE "OPEN DOOR, To cu1x.
The state Department Still Enrnxed
In Negotiations

II Is learned at the State Department
that Mr.. Barrett's statement made in New
fork last night of the time within which
the President might be expected to COM
mGnicate to Congress the results of the ne
godattons looking to the open door, in
CHINA was rather in the nature of an estI-
mate than OF precise statement. AS al
READY announced in these columns tbe
state Department has received assurances
nom all the powers concerned of their ac
ceptanee in principle of the doctrine as to
the open door, laid down by the JTnttao
States. Most Of the governments concerned
have reduced these assurances to the form
OF written undertakings
There Is a lack of uniformity in tho
pledges, and the State Department has been
endeavoring to overcome this Probably
II will succeed; otherwise the pledges. such
as they are, Will be regarded as Sufficient
The only delay is owing to the length of
time required to communicate by mail with
some of the countries. In the case of ,Japan
more than month is required But as
soon as all these pledges are in hand they
Will be communicated to Congress by the
President, with note from Secretary Hay
pointing out the benefits that have been
realized for United States commerce.

DISTRICT APPROPRIATIONS.
Bill Expected to BE Reported Next
Week,

Work on the District appropriation bill is
progressing so rapidly that It Is expected
the bill will be reported to the House by
next Monday or Tuesday. The subcomm;t-
tee has completed the hearings on the bill
and is now going ahead with the measure
section by section.
The little furry over the deficit In the Dis
trict revenues is not causing much commo-
ton IN the committee. The recent confer
ences upon the subject between the COM
mittee and the District Commissioners
seem to hold forth the possibility that an
arrangement can be reached by which the
denclt Will not become apparent in the estf-
mates this year. 1t has been suggested that
the awards for the 10th street extension NAV
possibly be deferred, and by this means
what threatened to be big gap in the rev
enues can be for the time being averted
AT any rate, the House committee is NOT
proceeding, it is understood in making I'm
the bill upon the theory that It Will be noe
essary to cut the appropriations to the
amount Of the deficit which was estimated
some time ago. 1t Is inferred in some uuar-
tiers, from what has occurred thus far. that
the committee will work upon this bill as
1t has upon all other District appropriation
bills in the past. 1t will make such reduc-
tfons from the Commissioners estimates
as 1t deems necessary, but not with the
idea of trimming the bill to the extent of
the estimated deficit.
