SOME INDIAN NAMES

A writer in The National Geographic Magazine discusses the wide differ snce in Indian names--a difference which is often alluded to by ethno- logists and geographers. From some cause which need not be discussed here. the languages of the Northeast ern Indians is as harsh as their win ters. while the tongues of the Southern indians give forth sounds and words birds. As the writer alluded to says: sgrhe horrible words of the Russian language do not differ more widely from the soft. mellow language of Italy or France than do the Indian names of Northern New England from those of New York"
 That Is true. and the further one goes South the more marked is the diff ference, but even New York furnishes good examples for comparison, as well as the Southern States. For instance. compare Molechunkemunk, Moostoc- maguntic and Cauquomogomuc in Maine with Seneca and Oneida in New York. Compare Wangumbang and Pomerang in Connecticut, with Shen- andoah in Virginia. Congaree in South Carolina and Oostenaula in Georgia. Compare Musconetcong and Pohatcong. in New Jersey with Tallapoosa, in Ala bama or Kissimee. in Florida.
 These are a few names of streams as given them by the Indians. and they are fair specimens of the differences in the languages of the Northeastern and the Southern Indians. Whether among the natives of the far Northwest or the far Northeast we find the same harsh and gutteral sounds. reminding one very much of the languages of the Tartars, Kamschadales and Tongusans of Asia. Then as we come South we find the soft-howing syllables and sounds of the people of Southern Eu- rope. The difference is so marked that no one can fail to note it, but we are nt disposed to try to explain or ac- count for it.

Indications of Spring.

Montgomery dealers in athletic goods are rubbing their hands with satisfac- tion and pleasure because the baseball season Is ripe for a beginning.
 Every Montgomery father of a To- year-old boy Is being asked every day now for amounts ranging from 25 cents to $5 for baseballs and bats and other requisites for playing the national game. Baseball clubs are springing in- to existence every day and practice has commenced in all the vacant lots in town.
 The youth of Montgomery has got its annual spell of baseball fever and from prospects. 1t is liable to last until about August. History and geography will be uninteresting subjects for thought and conversation and English will take its stand beside the old Roman tongue as a dead language In the schools of the oity until the subject of baseball is discussed at length during the coming spring and summer.
 Nothing will be heard of "elevens. /" Everything will be about hines" Black eyes and sore fingers will begin to ap- pear in the makeup of young America and then we may shout in all our glad ness: Spring is here and the national game Is here with 1t.

AID D.N0M

clouds are not wanted. It is the man who notes the sequence of facts, un- derstands their results, and devises the remedy who does the work that counts.
 Such a man young Garfield certainly is not; and the people of Kansas have found him out just in time. And so they have petitioned the President to keep him out of Kansas. They are afraid that he will report also that the Standard Oil Company and allied con- cerns are benevolent associations which are all on the verge of financial ruin because of the unbusinesslike and ex- cessive practice of their altruistic doc trines. The rendering of such a report before the farmers have recovered from their astonishment at the beef trust report might give rise to an unpleasant political situation in Kansas. Taking everything into consideration, perhaps. 1t would be best for President Roosevelt to heed the request of the legislators at Topeka and use Mr. Garfield in some other place where the feeling is not so intense and the interests to be inves- tigated are not so important.

 While there Is life there is hope" is an old adage. but the Senatorial can dtdates in Missouri have changed 1t to ~While there is no election there Is hope" So far as MT. Cockrell is con- cerned there is no need for a change of policy. He is doubtless getting as many votes as any other Democrat could get and 1t is not likely that any good would come of a change, or the substitution of another name. With Rerens and Niedringhaus 1t is differ ent. It deos not seem possible that either can be elected, and If they care to have a Republican Senator from that State one of them. or both. should get out of the way. We are not de- nying that Missouri is the gainer by both staying in. however

Last of the RedcOats.

Springfield Republican.
 The permanent withdrawal of the British garrisons from the fortresses at Halifax and Esqulmalt has been &C., complished so quietly that North Amer lea as a whole has been scarcely con- scious of the fact. It means, however that for the first time in centuries the British soldier has left our continent entirely to its own military devices, and this has a historical significance which does not escape the attention of those who have in mind the part the British soldier has played in America. If you have the right kind of imagination il cannot fail to respond to the stimulus of this interesting. if inconspicuous, event. You think of Braddock and Wolfe and Burgoyne and Brock and the columns of redcoats that forever will march through the pages of our school histories.

EVEN IN CHICAGO.
The Whites Revolt Against Negro
 Neighb0rs.

Chicago Record-Herald.
 Shall a residence district of the South Side which in the minds of the dwellers Is exclusive have for a tenant a negro and members of his family?
 Such is the question that Is agitating Forrestville Avenue householders, and as an incident of the controversy an as- sault case will be thrashed out in Jus day.
 The defendant in the assault case is Elmer E. Baldwin, President of Elmer
 Street SH and Tndena nue, who was arrested on a warrant sworn out by Archibald Goode. colored, a contractor, with offices at 126 Ram dolph Street. who charges he was at-
 MT. Baldwin lives at 3s25 Indiana Avenue. Goode lives at S355 Forrest vile Avenue. The assault occurred. according to Goode, when he visited companied by his daughter, says he was pushed from the real estate office by Baldwin without cause.
 My arrest" said Baldwin. Ifs the re- to obtain a home in the midst of one of the most fashionable and wealthy residence districts in the South Side"
 Goode was served by Baldwin with a story stone front residence at 3355 For restville Avenue, the real estate dealer contending that Goode had violated the lease by obtaining the residence under false pretenses and sub-renting part of the place.
 In answer to the notice Goode went to the real estate office and there, MT. Baldwin says, used improper language and was led from the place. after he had been requested three times to leave.
 T used no violence" said Mir. Bald win, and I have three reputable resi- dents who will testify for me-"
 Two menths .sggo ago oon,. Mrs; ,n sarah E. E her daughter both of whom show little trace of their negro blood, leased from Baldwin the three-story home and paid months rent in advance. Leon L. Loehr, Secretary of the Merchants Loan and Trust Company, was given as a ref erence, according to Baldwin, and the Goode family took possession.
 Later, according to the real estate dealer, he learned that other persons were occupying the house and he went to the Goode home Thursday night, ac- companied by the owner.
 q found twelve colored persons" de- clared Baldwin, in discussing his ar the lease, and I served them with a five days notice to vacate."
 Goode said yesterday that he would fight the case to finish.
 AS long as there is law to act on will fight them in putting me out of the house." he said. The whole req son for his serving the notice on me is that he discovered my family was coll ored. I am colored. but my wife and daughter are not dark, and many per sons would not think they were colored. They don't want a colored family in that house and that Is the whole reason for everything.
 "I am going to fight them, and if can help 1t they will not put me out for any of the reasons they have given me. I have not violated any of the terms of the leaSe'

MARYLAND REPUBLICANS.
Do Not Like Negro Appointed for Col-
 IectOT of Revenue.

Baltimore D1spatcn
 Baltimore Republicans are fearful of the effect the appointment of a negro politician in New York as collector of internal revenue may have upon the party in this city and State. In Balti- more the parties are divided about evenly. and the race question is about to become the important issue in the State. The Republicans are very much afraid that the appointment of negroes to important offices may pre- vent defections from the Democratic party in the fall, when the constitu- tional amendment is to be submitted
 Following this appointment comes the report that Harry SCummings. who seconded the nomination of President Roosevelt, is considered as likely successor to Collector Stone. While there is not believed to be any truth in this report. Cummings being can didate now for a very different place, it has stirred up both Democrats and Republicans.

popeINe THEIR TAXES.

The railroads very often complaint and sometimes with much justice--that they are discriminated against in the way of taxes and tax valuations. We say they sometimes have good cause for complaint, but 1t is not infre4 quently the case that they are them selves guilty of greater wrong than they charge against others. As an ex- ample we copy from The New York Commercial, a summarized account of one case, thus:
 Out in California, for instance, they are just now engaged in concerted the law all railway property within the limits of the State on March 1 is as- sessed by the tax officials for purposes of revenue, just like any other prop erty of individuals or corporations. A peculiarity attaching te the personal property of railroads however, is that much of 1t Is easily movable; and, talk these California companies have shunt- ed every possible car in their possess sion over Into Arizona fin order to have their personality at its minimum vol- the scene. This movement away from the State includes refrigerator and oth- CT fast freight cars. and th consequence the shipment of the orange crop is and freight yards are bare of cars and the fruit crop is fast going to waste. It Is reported that from Riverside alone fully s25o,ooo worth of rolling stock and other taxable property has been sent out of the State.
 This gives the main points in the case and shows how the California roads are laying the foundation, or supplying grounds for such stringent and radical laws and regulations as will raise a howl, not only from the railroads of that State, but throughout the country. As we understand the matter 1t is not claimed or shown that the taxes and valuations are either un- just or oppressive. At least we have seen no evidence to that effect, and 1t seems to be plain case of tax dodg- ing, indulged in from spite or parsi- mony. or because they think they will gain something by beating the rail- roads. It strikes us that they are pur- suing a policy which is both short sighted and dangerous. It is short Si5htOb oCSauSO thcy dIC hOI OHAy lOS- ing the freight charges on the fruit they ought to be handling, but they are acting in a way to discourage fruit-growers and others and prevent them from giving any patronage to these roads when they can avoid It.
 But it is also dangerous policy be- cause their course will create and i'm tensify popular prejudice against them and help to create a sentiment which will some day bring about such dras- tic laws and legislation as they will find difficult to bear. As The Commer- cial observes the roads Twill have only themselves to thank if the next tax legislation in that State imposes bur dens on them that they cannot escape. They are simply inviting hostilities where they ought to crave peace"

Kauka. DistrustfuI.
Kansas City Journal.

hdnSdS Olty
 Commissioner Garfield has proved by wonderful mathematical demonstra- ton that the beef trust is practically giving meat away, and that 1t has saved itself from financial ruin only through the meager profits from the sale of by-products. Kansas however, has had the temerity to dispute the cor rectness of Commissioner Garfield s figures In fact, Kansas's incredulity has reached an acute stage of distrust, and she believes that a man of greater experience and courage would have rendered a report altogether different from that which was made by Garfield and submitted to the Senate by Presi- dent Roosevelt.
 What has brought Kansas to this bold belief? The explanation Is sim pie. The big packers. as everybody knows, have built up great private for tunes as well as great industrial estab- lishments, and the sensible Kansans have come to the conclusion that the millions thus accumulated represent the difference between the price of beef on the hoof and beef on the plate This is a natural and inevitable conclu- sion which cannot be demonstrated away. At any rate, we are now living in an age when facts count for more than figures. ArithmAtinian~ tD the

The most extraordinary pearl, or. rather. cluster of pearls. known as the Southern Cross" Is owned by a syndi- ca te of Australians who value 1t at $500, 1000. It consists of nine pearls naturally grown together in so regu- lar a manner as to form a perfect Lat in cross. The pearl was discovered by a pearl fisher at Roebourne, West Aus tralia. The first owner regarded 1t with so much superstition that he buried it, but 1t was discovered in 1874 and i've years later was placed on ex- hihition in Australia

 Not long since." he continued, T noted a sale of property down town at a price that would have been un- reasonable ten years ago. In fact l happen to know that 1t brought twice the sum 1t would have sold for then |. The advancement in value of Montgom- cry property, residence and business property, is a healthy indication of the future.
