ORIGIN OF MONTHS NAMES.
October. November and December
Misnomers for Tenth, Eleventh
and Twelfth Months.

January was named after tn,
Roman god, Janus; the deity with
two faces, one looking into the past
and the other gazing forward to the
future writes Clifford Howard, in
Ladies' Home Journal. February
comes from the Latin word februo, tc
purify. 1t was customary for the
Romans to observe festivals of puri-
fication during that month. March
owes its name to the old god of war
Among the SaXons this month was
known as Lenct, meaning spring, and
April was named from the Latin
aperio, to open, in Specification of the
opening of flowers. The SaXons called
the month Eastre, in honor of their
goddess of spring, from which comes
our word Easter. May was named
after the Roman goddess Maia, and
June was so called in honor of Juno.
July was nar,ed in honor of Julius
Caesar. and August gets its name
from Augustus Caesar. September lie
from the Latin septem, seven, this be-
ing the seventh month according to
the ola Roman calendar. October. Nc

For instance the people win be prom

At the same time the trusts will be

But when the web at length is spun,
The thread snapped off; the work all

GOLD IS SHORT.
Secretary Gage Miscalculates Amount
I'm the Country by About Four
Hundred Millions.

A special dispatch from Washing.
ton says: Lyman j. Gage, secretary
of the treasury, has instructed the
assistant treasurer in New York to
discover, if possible what has be-
come of S400,o00.d00 in gold coin
which should be in This country. but
which has disapp cared from thu
knowledge of the treasury depart-
ment." The dispatch goes on to say:
''The supply of gold in this country
10 $500. 000, 900 short of what has been
counted upon as the amount of actual
money which it has been claimed and
ment was in circulation in the
United States.'' The dispatch con-
tinuing further says: ''Air. Gage viii
make every effort to find what has
become of this amount of gold"
1t may be news to Mr.. Gage to dis
cover that the supply of gold is short
in this country. 1t is not news to
those who have made a study of the
financial question. The whole argu-
ment against silver in 1896 was based
upon exaggerations made as to the
amount of money of various kinds in
circulation in the United States.
time and time again and maintained
there was no evidence of the amount OF
money in circulation that was
claimed to be in circulation by the OPP
ponents of financial reform or by the
republicans and gold democrats.
Notwithstanding this, the treasury
department, blythe aid of the most
subtitle mathematicians and expert
figurers claimed that there was o
large amount of gold in this coun-
try. They never were able to show
where the gold was, but they could
show by their figures that it existed.
Mr.. Cages figures still show that the
money exists in theory, but he can
not show it in fact. 1t is said there
are several kinds of lies. There are
little lies, big lies and statistics, and
Gage and his style of money igurers
have been using statistics. 1t is graf
flying, however, to know that Mr..
Gage has discovered three and a half
years after the campaign that he was
mistaken and that the democratic
party and the democrats were right,
and if he is truly honest he will con-
tinue the investigation which he has
commenced SO that in the next cam
paign he will have some idea of what
he is talking about. The secretary
of the treasury ought to be able to
figure little closer on the visible
sapply of gold than a matter of
,s4OO, 100000 that is, if he expects to
maintain the reputation of being an
honest man and a good judge of
financial matters.-Illinois State Reg

OUTLOOK is GOOD.
Chances Are strongly I'm Favor OF the
Success of a Free Coinage
President.

Four years ago the voters of Colorado
piled up a majority of 100000 for Bry-
an, though they knew, says the Denver
(Col) News, he was leading forlorn
hope and that the chances against
him were as 100 to 1. The dense
ignorance of millions of Americans
about the meaning of Stree silver" the
tremendous efforts of the financial
ring to make the name of silver a scare
crow, the detection from the standard
bearer of nearly all the party leaders in
dozen states-those and many other
causes made victory for silver and
Bryan the next thing to impossible.
During the past four years Mr..
Bryan has calmly maintained his posi-
tion as the champion of free coinage at
the ratio of sixteen to one without
waiting for the consent of any other
nation on earth. No influence has been
powerful enough to cause him to swerve
one iota from conviction founded ON
principle. We know--the whole world
knows-that if elected president Mr..
Bhyan will do everything in his power
to restore free coinage.
What is the outlook for Mr.. Bryan's
election? 1t is more than favorable.
Tens upon tens of thousands of voters
who opposed him in 1896 will support
him in 1900. The trust issue, the new
combination of militarism and impe-
ria,ism, the currency bill placing the
peoples money in the hands of the ma
tional banks, the shameful breach Of
faith with Porto Rico, and many other
questions have brought to the side of
Mr.. Bryan an army of citizens deter
mined that the policy of this admins
tration shall not be continued.
Whatever strengthens Bryan
strengthens silver. All these new issues
are allies of silver. 1t seems as
though the stars in their courses were
fighting for silver. For Mr.. Bryan IL
mistaken and unsuitable in his devo-
tion to bimetallism.
For the first time since the question
entered into politics, or, as we should
say, was forced into politics by the
crime of '73, the chances are strongly In
favor of the success of free coinage
president, standing on free coinage
platform, who will name free coinage
secretary of the treasury and who viii
neglect no opportunity to push the
cause.

A Tafnt of Suspicion.

The Hannaftes unblushingly boast of
their ability and determination TO pur-
chase the presidency at the coming
election. Therefore a faint of suspicion
must attach to every supporter of the

every supporter of the ticket is either
one of the buyers, one of the bought or
one of the dupes.--Nat iona1 Waterman.
