NEW POLITICAL SLANG
Standpatters, sawdusters and lnsur
gents Are Now Active.

Standpatters, Sawousters ana insur-
gents Are Now Active.
Each seventh year or thereabouts
there is a new crop Of political slang
words just as there are other seventh
year crops. The gold bug, the cuckoo,
the mugwump, stalwart, featherhead,
half breed, repudiator, wildcat, cure
all, revisionist and goo-goo have pass
ed generally as political adjectives Of
description in use, and they have been
replaced by other adjectives which
either have g. new meaning or describe
a new condition.
A standpatter is a political leader
who finds existing conditions satisfac-
tory for his party and does not wish
to embark on any change. The origi-
nator Of the expression was Senator
Hanna in an interview in which he ad-'
vised his fellow-Republicans of that
state, quoting the poker phrase, to
stand pat.
A sawduster Is candidate or aspir-
ant for office who presents the out
ward appearance Of great popular
strength or deep conviction, but who,
once subjected to a serious test, proves
to be Of no account-a man Of saw
dust, who only needs a puncture to
be exposed. This word had its origin
in an interview at the Democratic
convention at Saratoga which nomi-
mated former Comptroller Coler for
governor. Commissioner Kane, Of
Brooklyn, one Of those who opposed
him, declared him to be a. sawduster.
An insurgent is member Of poll
tical party in a legislative body who
votes against its candidates or its
measures, while declaring that he Is
still a member of the party and has no
sympathy with its party opponents.
In the south the term Lilly-White
has come into new significance as de-
scribing a Republican who not only
rejects the nomination Of colored men
on party tickets, but opposed the par
| ticiptaion Of colored electors in party
organization.
Among the Socialists kangaroo Is
one willing to combine with the voters
Of another party.

Academic VuIuarity,

The Pilgrim: There is said to be
more vulgarity among the sturdy Eng
fish lads in public schools like those at
Groton, scarborough, ETC., which most
resemble them in methods, and Kip
ling's "Stalky & Co." illustrates this;
but a sense of reverence and a quiet,
s~elf-poised demeanor are more appar-
ent. They are not so restless as our
boys, are less INDUCED than they, and,
no matter from what homes Of wealth
they come. they learn early to despise
the coddltrs and to endure hardness.
In most schgo!s a temperature of 60 de-
grees is considered the normal one in
winter, and in one Scotch school Of
which l learned the boys are required
to take off their coats when the room
becomes warmer, and are compelled to
run two miles before eating breakfast,
except when the snow is too deep.
Co-education prevails to some extent
in Scotland, n among the lower
grades to a slight degree in London,
but it is unknown among the well-to-
do, except in the King Alfred school,
near Hampstead, not far from Kate
Greenaway's red-tiled cottage. Well
paid teachers, both m and men
conduct the sports as well as classes,
and the two sexes are never left alone
together, though, unlike our schools
boys and girls unite in their hockey
| and other games.
