ABour A WonD.

A friend Inquired some days ago why it is that one of the papers published at the old Capital of Alabama spells the name "Tuscaloosa' and the other has 1t "Tuskaloosa.' The Gazette uses the 'k" while The Times adopts the hard 'c'' in spelling the word.
 TAis is case where two persons may spell a word differently and each be cor rect. As the Indians had no written language of course we cannot quote them as authority on any question of orthoera- phy. and must rely on the style used by those who have copied and translated their language. We have examined The vocabularies of perhaps a score of writers and photographers. among them being Compere.s Gallatin. Hawkins. Pope, Adair. Bartram, Buckner. Loughridge. Gatschet, Drake, Brinton, Haines and others whose names we do not now remember, and all of them. without exception. use the word "tuska,'' or ''suhka," for warrior. in both the Creek and Choctaw, as well as the allied dialects. None of them use the hard "c' in place of 'k' in spelling any Indian word. Following the custom sor style of all who have written in or of Indian languages 1t is plain that Tuska- loosa is the correct orthography. We may add. also, that the Bureau .of Ethnology at Washington uses the same spelling.
 The United States Government. how ever. has for some reason departed from this spelling. in some instances. at least. and Tuscaloosa has been' adopted in the postofice directories, maps and other publications. and the style is being gen. eraHy followed. Why this was done we do not pretend to know, but 1t is now the fashion, and while The Gazette is ethno. logically correct The Times follows the prevailing modern style. The govern ment has in many other instances changed the orthography of names taken from the Indian dialects. and as there is no use rebelling against Uncle Sam we suppose Tuscaloosa Is the way the word will be written.

sAANEw PAPER.

A neatly printed. well-filled eight-page paper is The Bullock. County Breeze. just started at Union Springs by J. c. Law renee, the first number of which is on our table. Mr.sLawrence is an old news paper man, who has both the experience and the capacity to get out good paper, and if he keeps up with the start he has made he will deserve and doubtless re- ceive a liberal support from the people of his locality. He will have to do we'll if he keeps up with Editor Miles and his Herald, but competition is a great incentive to effort. and both papers will be improved by the necessity of keeping up with each other. We cer- tainly hope they will both prosper.

Kubelik, like many other foreigners who are sIobbered over in this country
 has proven himself cad by leaving a hotel because he was not allowed to oc- cupy chair at table which had been reserved for another guest. When he had to give up the seat to which he had no right, and which any gentleman would have vaacted at once on being in- formed that it was reserved, he left the hotel in a rage and swore he wouldn't play in St. Paurs back yard, or in her theatres. However he thought better Of

A man in Wichita, Kan, has been the subject of severe criticism because, when his house was burning he saved the hired girl before trying to get his wife out, but unless all the circumstances of the pended. It Is possible that he had a good hired girl and did not have a good wife. and like prudent man he saved the most precious goods first. Then 1t may be possible that he reflected that he could get another wife without much trouble if he lost that one. but might fail to get another girl. Let's have all the facts before condemning the fellow.

 The object of The Alabamian is not the purification of politics. but a campaign issue. It Is not seeking to bring about harmonious action. but. on the contrary to stir up strife. Therefore 1t makes an altogether unnecessary and uncalled for threat. Who are these people who are to have their rights "peaceably If possi- ble forcibly if necessary" They are the broken and defeated cohorts of Dictator Johnston, and the rights they seek are the offices of Alabama for themselves, and a seat in the United States Senate for Joseph, But Joseph won't get there.

that having got the live stock within
reach they had as purposely plotted to
break the market.
They asserted that for the first time
they are convinced tnat there is a
trust and that they do not expect tho
consumer will get any benefit from the
lower prices the packers were paying.
The packers helped out this view of
the matter by trying to make flamboy-
ant capital out of the situation.
Through the trade press of the yards
they proclaimed that the agitation Of
the public against meat eating was
reacting upon the farmer and the
shipper. OF the allegations that they
planned the slump they had nothing
to say.

BIG COLLAPSE.
In Cattle Prices at Chi

WON FIGHT
Against the Beef Trust BY Re-
fusing to Eat Meat--Con-
sternation Among
Shippers.

Chicago, May 1.-The boycott Of the
American people against the beef trust
has had its effect, and there came a
collapse In the live stock markets
Wednesday which threatens. great loss
to shippers who have large holdings In
the pens here.
The great packing houses have been
killing the usual amount Of cattle,
sheep and hogs. They placed them In
cold storage In anticipation OF orders
from all over the United States. The
orders did not come, or IL at all. they
were for small amounts. The people
had quit eating meat and orders have
been dwindling for several days past.
The high prices attracted cattle from
all over the great west and shippers
have been anxious to sell before the
break came which has been expected.
Wednesday the packers found that their
storehouses were filling up with car
casses for which there was no demand,
and after buying few head of choice
cattle, they all withdrew from the
stockyards and refused to buy any
more.
The result Is that there was 10000
head of steers and thousands of sheep
and hops left for which there was no
sale. They will go stale" as the cat
tie men say, and will lose in weight
and quality and the shippers are
bound to suffer great loss.
The real reason for the condition
of affairs is the fact that people all
over the country, by common consent
have been using less meat than here
tofore and the demand has greatly
fallen off.
The big packers are trying to blame
tho government and are making an
effort to justify themselves for the con-
ditions that they have created.
The bottom dropped out of the cat
lie market, and the hog and sheep mar
kets tumbled in sympathy. The price
of cattle fell Is to rs cents on the hun
dred weight; that of hogs 10 conts to
| Is cents. and that of sheep about 10
cents. At these reduced prices the
packers divided about 5000 cattle
among themselves. Having supplied
their immediate needs. they refused to
bid further and left the pens.
The angry shippers are charging
that they were the victims of a con-

Chicago. April 3O.-The work of
gathering evidence against the beef
trust continues today. although Judge
Day has been forced to 60 to New
York to attend meeting Of the inter-
state commerce commission. He will
return within a day or two, when 1t
is thought action will be taken In the
courts to restrain the packers.
Chicago packers who are charged
with being members of an alleged beef
trust will get the surprise Of their
lives and lasting shock. according
to good authority, when Attorneys
Bethea and Day file their petition ask
ing that the great stock yard indus
tries be restrained from doing bust-
ness as combine" Since the or
iginal investigation was ordered there
has been change in the plans which
has been closely guarded. Acting on
orders from the attorney general, 1t
Is understood Judge Day and United
States Attorney Bethea have switched
the investigations from an inquiry into
the. existence of beef trust and the
cause of present high prices In meat
to general investigation of methods
OF business employed by the packers
and the mysterious relations existing
between the leading packers and the
railroads.
That the railways are to be dragged
in and their traffic officials RESPONSE
BILE for the payment of rebates made
to tell Of relations with the packing
firms Is practically admitted by both
Mr.. Bethea and Judge Day.
