Fthe matter is Republican, eulogistic If

1 But one State has ever been named
latter q man. and that is the State of
Washington, which causes confusion
everywhere unless coupled with the word
State" which always sounds ridiculous.
Pennsylvania bears, in part, mans
name, but it is so transformed as to be
almost unrecognizable. The Carolinas and
the Virginias are examples Of bad nomen-
clature, and to these may be added the

4 designations are often confusing, and
should be abolished. Oklahoma Is q very
good name and means something. We
have too rapidly done away with the
aboriginal names in the United States. 1t
iis aSyery sensible idea to, let the new
State be named "Oklahoma." Mr.. Jeffer-
sons name does not lend itself well for
that purpose. When Arizona is admitted,
! there will be no kick coming on her name
but there should be change in the title
of the Territory Of New Mexico. 1t is
not new, it Is not Mexico, and the com.
bination is, and has always been, bad,
very bad. 1t should certainly be rechris-
ttened. But. then, Senator Bacon's idea
will never get anything but negative
vote.

rather far-fetched. While 1t is true that
Jefferson brought about the purchase of
the Louisiana territory, he did 1t n a
party expedient. He didn't want the
worthless land" but took 1t, rather be-
cause 1t was thrown in with what he
had to have, the outlet to the Cult. rather
than because he wanted it. He was not
particularly proud Of the purchase during
his life, so why perpetuate his name on
the soil which he grudgingly bought3

at the tariff laws after the following fash
ion: He would place on the free list all
paints, colors and yarnishes. all glass and
glassware, metals and manufactures,
pulps, papers. and books. sundries, coal
and anthracite.
Mr.. Cochran (do.). rabid Free Trade
Democrat, with silver coating 16 to : 1,
wants the tariff upon coal Of all kinds
held up for a period Of six months, and
all coal entered free for that length Of
time.
Mr.. Scott Kan.) has introduced q bill,
By request, which has for its purpose the
registering and licensing Of all corpora
