The Republican county central commit

March 18th, at IL o'clock, to fix the time
and date for holding the county conven-

for it and offer some Inducements. Many
of the Republicans think this would be a
good place to hold the convention, as it
is the most neutral place and could well
take care Of the many guests.

The campaign for city offices is becom-
ing quite warm and all the candidates are
hustling, especially for council and water
board. From a reliable source it is
learned that in this campaign some Re-
publicans who want nomination for county
offices expect to show their hands, and
some think the result will show who the
strongest party is. The Republicans of
this city have at last reached that stage
where they find that their factions are fast
working against the party interests.
These factions are so bitter that they will
concede nothing to each other and the
war is likely to continue.

WHO'S

The administration at Washington
has evidently heard something drop.
AS stated in these columns the other
day the Review of Commerce for 1900,
an official publication recently issued
by the Bureau of Foreign Commerce
of the State Department, ~designates
the South African Republic as the
"Transvaal' and the Orange Free
State as the Orange River Colony"
These are the names used in the proc
lamation declaring the two republics
annexed to Great Britain. Foot notes
read as follows:
THE South African Republic was
annexed by Great Britain Sept. l,
1900"
"The Orange Free State was an
nexed by Great Britain May %, 1900,
under the name of the Orange River
Colony
Now, no n in Washington can tell
how this came about or who Is res
ponsible for this changing of names
in our official documents, which may
be taken as an official recognition by
our government of the claims of Great
Britain, which no other government
has yet recognized. A dispatch says
that State Department officials assert
that the Government has not recog-
nized the claims of Great Britain to
annexation, that there has been no in
tention to do so at this time, and that
no publication issued by a bureau can
commit the Government to such rec
ognition.
But at the same time it isn't ex-
planned at the State Department how
the change of names, which wipes the
South African Republics out of our
official directory, occurred. There is
a great deal of innocence in Washing
ton OF this score, and we wouldn't be
surprised to see the usual scapegoat
trotted out in the person of some
petty sub-clerk.

USE OF TOBACCO IN EUROPE.

1t fs Three and Fifty Years
Since the Weed Was Introduced.
Savannah News.
Three hundred and fifty years ago,
according to the allegations, Jean Nj
cot introduced tobacco into Europe.
1t was from his name that the word
nicotine was derived. The French
government has just made an appro-
priation for the erection of a bronze
statue to Nicot. 1t is to be set up in
front of the main government tobacco
factory in Paris. This French claim
to the Introduction of tobacco into Eu-
rope is somewhat at variance with the
general supposition that Sir Walter
Raleigh first carried the fragrant weed

Granite Cutters Want Back Paw.

BARRE, VI, Jan. II. About 80 granite
cutters and tool sharpeners met here tonight,
to take action toward pushing their claims
for back pay, for work done in the service
of the United States Government, nearly 80
years ago. Besides those who reside in
Barre, there are many others about the
country, interested in this matter. At the
meeting tonight committee was appointed,
and every effort will be made to carry the
project through to success.
The claims arise out of the building
of the Boston and New York Post Offices,
the Government work on Dix, Hurricane
and Fox Islands, and work in the Navy
Yard The claimants worked ten hours a
day, instead of eight and they are now try
ing to collect pay for the extra two hours
day: The claims vary in amount from 800
to $6,OOO The Navy Yard men succeeded
in getting their pay about two years ago,
and the other claims have been before Cong
ress three times during the last 20 years.
Congressman Littlefeld OF Maine has charge
of pushing the claims in this session, and it
is hoped that Senator Proctor will assist
him.
