just passed the forty-sixth milestone in

ORIGIN AND MEANING OF THE WORD
MISSOURI.

Referring to the issue of The Con-
SENTATIVE, dated the 2Sth ult., in which
was treated the "origin and meaning Of
the word Missouri" While not dis
posed to controvert the word "Peki-
tanoui," do entertain serious doubts as
to the spelling of it.
All Indians on or about the Missouri
river use the words ''Ne" or "Min-ne"
to express the word "Water." Nebraska
Indians use the preface "Ne"-Ne-br
ka, wide shallow water. The Platte
river was originally Nebraska. The
territory was named for the river. Neo-
bra-ra, running water" The Sioux
Indians use the word "Min-ne'': "Min-
ne-ha-ha," laughing water. Mime
wau- kan :-''bad water"-Devil's Lake.
The four years spent with the west
ern Indians, I gave much attention to
the derivation and meaning of Indian
words. The above I found universal.
From the oldest Omaha Indian chief,
"Noise," or "Muttering Thunder"
learned the original Indian name for
Missouri river, to be ''Ne-shu-da," :"
meaning the same as for "Pek-ita-noui," {"
muddy water" For reasons above
given, think -shu-da" is correct.

CORN AND PORK.

How many pounds of pork, as repre-
sented in live hog, does bushel of
corn represent? is question which has
frequently arisen. 1t has been the GUS
tom in past years to count bushel of
corn as equivalent to 10 pounds weight
Of the animal. Doubtless this may be
fair approximation under careless feed
ing, such as turning the animals into
the field to help themselves to corn, or
other wasteful methods. But careful
feeding may bring far more important
results. Mr.. 9. G.. Neff, president Of
the Bradford Betting Company, Cincin-
natl, is interested with his brother in
farming operations near Yellow Springs,
Greene county, Ohio. On December
18th they weighed bunch of so hogs,
and again weighed them on December
Goth and 28th. The gain for the corn
fed during the first period was an aver
age of 14.S pounds in weight per bushel
of corn, and for the second period, of
14A pounds per bushel. In the first
instance, calculating hogs at $4.60, the
feeding value of the corn was 6S1a cents
per bushel, and in the second instance,
at .65 for hogs, the result represented
7OA cents for corn. The market value
of corn at the same time was 80 cents
per bushel. This is an interesting illus
tration of what profits can be realized in
converting grain into fat animals. Gin

CONSERVATIVE VS.. RADICAL.

We observe in nature the wise equilib-
rum established by two elements,
oxygen and nitrogen. Oxygen, alone,
is too active, and must be restrained.
Nitrogen alone is sluggish, and suited
to weaken the other element. Were the
air undiluted oxygen, our life would be
excited to a pitch Of which we can
scarcely dream, and would sweep
through it's feverish, burning course in
few days. Thus we see that either
element, unchecked by the other, would
soon end our existence.
Wise statesmen will consider the con-
servative and radical elements in politics
with view to keep them properly bal
anced. Has not the republican party
shown an unbalanced condition with re-
gard to these elements? For the good of
the country, is it not advisable to infuse
little more conservatism into politics?
Be wise, as savants, lead the way,
Till brighter scenes appear.
Till peace, triumphant, bring the day
OF fellowship and cheer

THE CUBAN PROBLEM.

The natural course would be, when
the Cubans have framed and adopted
their constitution, to allow them
to proceed at once with the organization
of a government under it. AS it is Or
ganized, the civil positions now admin
istered by the United States would be
turned over to it., and when it is fairly
on it's feet the protecting military arm
of the United States would be with
drawn. Congress really provided for
all that in the Teller resolution. The
treaty of peace was made in the spirit of
that resolution. Nothing more is needed.
Talk Of an extra session to enable
congress to pass on the Cuban constitu-
tion is nonsense. Express (Rep).
The pledge of the United States to
Cuba is of a nature that admits of no
misunderstanding. 1t is perfectly ex-
plicit. It means that the Cuban people
shall have absolute independence, and
there appears to be no doubt that a ma
jority of them will insist that the
promise be fulfilled. They have declined
to make any stipulation in their consti-
tuition in regard to the relations to exist
hereafter between the United States and
Cuba. Shall this government undertake
to insist upon such a stipulation being
embraced in the Cuban constitutional
Omaha Bee (Rep.).
We believe the sense of honor in the
American people is too strong and too
sensitive to permit the nation to be
shamed before the world or to be dragged
