Hussars do not derive their name
from any sort of war cry or cheer.
The name is from the Magyar word
houtzar, meaning the goth. Hussars,
as cavalry soldiers, were at first con-
fined to Hungary. In 1445 the crown
passed a law compelling the peasants
to supply one man out of every 20 OF
their number, and that man a horse
man, to the army of the state. The
first hussars were recruited from the
inhabitants of the immense Hungarian
plains-strong, hardy fellows, with sin
ews supple as steel, who spent their life
in the saddle. To the present time the
Hungarian hussars are considered to
be the finest body of light horsemen in
Europe.-Stray Stories.

Trainmen Withdraw From a. r. o.

Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. s.-The Broth
erhood of Railroad Trainmen has given
notice of withdrawal from the Fedora

The withdrawal of the trainmen, it is
said, will disband the federation, as
other organizations have grievances
which they have been unable to settle
with roads because of the failure of the
federation to unanimously sanction
strikes as is required by the rules of
the order.
It is declared the firemen and tele-
graghers have grievances in the east,
which are serious, and that there may
be a general disturbance as a result of

gratitude for favor the eloquent New

Bruce when the negro leader first went

Mississippi declined to Introduce the
colored statesman to the president of
the senate. All the other senators were
disposed not to interfere, and Mr..
Bruce found himself in a most embar-

Bruce to the president, and the Mis-

The PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

The presidents message is notewor-
thy in more than one particular, Dut
in none more than in the conservative
tone which the president adopts In dls-
cussing matters of the gravest import.
matters that only few short weeks
ago were the sources OF bitter conten-
ton between two great and powerful
political parties The president. with
out the slightest disposition to en-
phasize the victory to which he led his
forces. takes up the work with re-
newed vigor, conscious of the great in
crement of strength that has come to
him and his party by reason of the
magnificent endorsement given by the
people at the polls.
There is certain obviousness that
eharacterizes the official utterances of
the president. that, while not in any
sense tiresome, is decidedly reassur-
ing. The reader wonders how there
could ever have been any doubt about
the reelection of this careful, safe. eau
tious. conscientious statesman to the
"
His adaptation to the circumstances
seems SO perfect as to need no demon
stration.
Throughout the message sent to con-
Rress Yesterday. as through all the
state papers of President Mckinley,
there runs with marked consistency a
definite suggestion of the president S
policy with regard to congress. Dur
ing the history of the United States
there have been almost as many diff
ferent interpretations of the proper at
titude of the executive toward the
legislative branch as there have been
presidents. The phases have covered
almost very conceivable relation. from
defiance to servitude, from weak ac-
auiescence to active antagonism. from
interdepcndence to independence.
McKinley's attitude is not in any
sense defiant or arrogant. while at the
same time it is thoroughly independ-
emit The present president has proved
himself to be the ideal constitutional
president He seems to sense most
finely the delicate balance of power
which was SO perfectly planned on a
theoretical basis by the builders of the
republic
Mckinley knows exactly at what
point the functions of the executive
