Addison County Senators.

The Register will add a few words
concerning the gentlemen whose names
have been suggested for the office of
Senator from this county.
Judge Brookins of Shoreham has long
been most favorably known to the citi-
zens of the county as a successful farmer
and prominent politician.
The name of S. F. Hubbard of Gran
vile has also received some mention and
we understand has a good local support.
Mr.. Stewart though not actively
candidate, or at all candidate so far as
he is concerned, has been urged by this
paper and quite a number of prominent
citizens, who believe that his services, if
they could be had, would be very valu-
able to the county and State at the com
ing session of the legislature, to let his
name be used.
MIR. John James of Weybridge, who
has appeared twice before as a candidate
for the Office, being very nearly successful
the first time, is again an active candi-
date. He is a man of most excellent
character and pleasant address. He is,
too. a successful farmer.
Mr.. w. A. Lawrence of Bristol is the
only candidate from the north district
and will undoubtedly receive the unani-
nous vote of the convention.
1t would appear to be certain that a
number of very important questions will
come before this legislature, whether or
not a radical change is made in the law
regulating the sale of liquors, but as
this must be one of the more important
subjects discussed it will be in order to
consider the opinions upon this subject
of the different gentlemen who have
been named for Senator, so far as they
have been ascertained.
Mr.. Stewart is not in favor of prohi-
bition law, but, as we understand, with
great many others, has not been
pleased with the workings of high Ii
cense; and therefore, without knowing
the fact the Register has supposed that
if a strong feeling should develop
throughout the State in favor of State
Control, Mr.. Stewart would feel at lib
erty to respond to it. That is, he stands
entirely uncommtted in advance to any
policy, and is therefore in the best posi-
ton possible to perceive what the people
want.
We know ourselves of no reason what
ever why we should keep an important
law upon our statute books two years
longer, with which the great majority
of the people have expressed their disap
probation.
If the people make manifest before the
legislature meets, as we believe they
will, their desire for local option law
managed by the State with the profits
from the sale of liquors, perhaps enough
TO pay all the taxes, certainly enough
to pay large share of them, we know
of no possible reason why the legis
lature should not enact such a law
That is, we know of no reason why they
shouldn't enact it at the next session
excepting perhaps the ambition of few
men for high or low Office which they
may think, though we believe mis-
takenly, that they would be more sure t.
get if conditions were kept quiet. AnC
this we do not consider any reason.
Mr. James, as we understand, has al
ways been prohibitionist. Whether h,

SIR WALTER RALEIGH.
An EnsIhn Essay on the Pronuneia-
ton OF His Name.

According To Mr.. Adrian Wheel
er, "the pronunciation Of Raleigh
seems 10 be Rawlcy. Whether
this only means seems now 10 he"
Is to be surmised. The question is,
What was the pronunciation at the
period indicated: And surely that
is much matter Of susmise also.
"When Sir Walter Raleigh's name
was told ('Ralegh), said the king,
ON my soule, mon, | have heard
rawly of thee" mot ''rawley). }.
The conjecture presumably must be
that King James, with labored
joke founded on the sound then Civ
en- to Raleigh Tor Rawly), meant 81
have heard really, with the "rale'
sound that the Irish still give to
the word "real," or rarely" with
the meaning, Il have heard rare
things Of thee" or, the same word
with lis present meaning, Il have
heard seldom Of thee (of late)."
The assumption that King James
must have sounded the letters
raw" as we now do surely requires
some proof. Now, in old northern
records one may find the name Matt
land land even Maytland) spelled
also "Mautlsnd" Ii is conceiva-
bic to the present writer that the
men who wrote Mainland" may
have pronounced the word "Ma-ut-
land" but IL Is inconceiyable TO him
that the men who wrote Maitland
land Maryland } could have sound
ed the name "Mortland.' for that is
what our modern tongues have
brought the Eau" and the "aw' to
as 10 sound.
Is there known TO be any other
origin for the surname Raleigh"
than the place name "Rayleigh :"
II not, that place name stands to
this day in the way Of the Raw
ley" (~Rorly') pronouncers. En-
passant. it may be worth remarking
that rare meat" and raw meat
are much about the same thing.
Can it be proved that rare" with
the "raw" meaning, is ANYTHING
more than a phonetic spelling of
the sound given Of old TO the COM
bined letters 'raw 2" 1t may be
recollected by some readers that il
has been allowed that the proper
sound Of "Ralph" (often spelled
"Rawfe" in old deeds) is "Rafe,"

A WITTY RenIY.

Whenever the United States supreme
court, on hearing the argument OF
counsel for plaintiff in error, is entirely
satisfied that he has no case, the chief
Justice is apt TO say TO counsel for de
fendant in error that the court does not
care TO hear further argument. At one
time Hon. Matthew Carpenter from
Wisconsin was counsel for plaintiff In
error and opened the case. Before he
was through the court was satisfied
that there was nothing In IL. and so
when he had concluded and counsel
for defendant in error arose Chief JUS
tice Waite said, THE court does not
care to hear any further argument"
Counsel was a little deaf and. al
though noticing that the chief justice
spoke. did not hear what be had said
and, turning TO Mr.. Carpenter, who
sat beside him. asked what had been
said.
"Oh. hang it, replied Carpenter in
tones audiL.e TO the bench. 1.-The chief

a Little Misunderstanding.

General Gordon said that on one
occasion during the civil war a
threatened attack Of Federal troops
brought together a number of Con-
federate officers from several COM
mands. After conference as TO
the proper disposition of troops for
resisting the expected assault the
southern officers withdrew into a
small log hut standing near and
united in PRAYER to Almighty God
for his guidance. As they assem-
bled one Of the generals was riding
within hailing distance, and Gen
eral Harry Heth, of Hills corps,
stepped 10 the door of the log cabin
and called to him to come and unite
with his fellow officers in prayer.
The mounted general did not un-
derstand the nature of General
Heth's invitation and replied: NO,

present. I've just had some"

MAD ANTHONY" WAYNE.
he Was the sanest, Coolest Soldier
In wsshington's Army.

John II Spears ,n Harper's demon
strates that General Wayne, commonly
known as Mad Anthony" was In
reality the sanest. coolest soldier in
Washington's army
'They called the hero OF Stony Point
and the Maumee rapids Mad Anthony
Wayne" says Mr.. Spears The title
was originated by an Irish soldier who
had been confined in the guardhouse at
the order Of the general. and IL was
taken up by the people because OF the
wild enthusiasm and determination
with which Wayne led his men when
the supreme moment OF battle came.
But observe that when the war OF the
Revolution impended he 'ransacked his
tory for accounts Of battles that he
might learn military tactics, and he
gave his days to the training OF his
neighbors. AT Stony Point he led his
men In spite OF his wound, but in pre-
pairing for the battle he appealed to
the pride of his men by parading them
clean shaved and with hair well pow
dered,' while the prelaid plans includ-
ed even the slaughter OF the dogs, that
no yelp should betray the approach OF
the assaulting host. When In Virginia,
he charged the hosts OF CORVALLIS
with only 500 nell TO back him; when
In Ohio. where the honor OF the nation
and the integrity Of its territory were
coucitted TO his care. he took legion
OF boys and miscreants' gathered from
the slums and trained them until their
skill with the musket equaled. II II did
not surpass. that of the most noted
backwoods Indian lighters.
Mad Anthony Wayne as a leader
In battle was unsurpassed, but IL
should also be remembered that his
record as a drill master is unequaled"
