A writer in the Post Express recently
called attention to a topic on which THE
Gazette has commented before the
beauty of Indian names.
1t is a safe assertion that no race ever
devised more pleasing, euphonious titles.
and few localities have been more favored
In this respect than New York state.
There is hardly a community or a Sec
tion in II but has some Indian name.
Rivers, lakes, ponds and hills, hundreds of
them, had some mAny-syllabled title in
the days when the redmen were the lords
of the soil Many of them have been lost,
some OF them beyond recall. Others have
been replaced by senseless and meaning
less appropriations from the old world.
There Is good reason why New England
and Southern towns along the coast are
called after English places The name OF
the old home was transplanted TO the new.
Sentiment and history have entwined
themselves about them But there Is no
reason why, in this state. for instance.
we should have such names as Syracuse
and Utica. Syracuse stands near the an
cient capital OF the great Six Nations.
Onondaga would have been far more ap-
propriate than the name of a forgotten
sicilian city. Onondaga county is full OF
villaee1rand hamlets that were christened
after the men and cities OF the east-Cam-
illus. Fabius, Dslphi, Marcellus and Pom
pey. The names given by the great tribe
OF lawmakers of the famous aboriginal
confederacy have been discarded.
No indian tongue was more pleasing
than the liquid tongue of the Oneidas. Yet
the principal community within the bor-
ders OF the tribes territory harked back
TO classic literature and took the name CT
