The Names of Dogs.

Spaniels were SO called because the original breed of this type came from Spain. The Blenheim spariel got his name from Blenheinn Palace where this dog first gained popularity in the time of the great Duke of Marloorou&n m the same way the King Charles span iel owes it's name to the merry mon arch. Fox terriers did not gain their names from a likeness to the fox. but from the fact that formerly they were used in hunting foxes. Many years ago they were sent by their masters down the foxss burrow to draw and kin their quarry. It was in those days a saying that a good fox terrier never came out of a burrow without the fox. He either brought out his prey dead or never came out alive himself
 The bulldog used to drive cattle, and was trained to meet the rushes of his enormous charges by gripping them in their most vulnerable spot--the nose, Thus in time he became known as the bulldog. The dachshund is German dog, and as his names indicates when translated, was used for hunting bad gers, Hence his name. badger dog.

It Is only funny. The American congress only laughed and the laugh was echoed by the American people, Montgomery Advertiser.
 Hundreds of thousands of thought full people, irrespective of party af- nliation. could not help regFetting the outburst of temper and the tntemper- ate language of the Presidenfs recent message to congress- The spectacle was utterly out of keeping with the dignity and responsibility of the high office. The attack upon individuals was clothed in language that betrayed an irritable spirit and lack of self control which are deplorable under the circumstances. It is e pity that the President Of the United States in an omciaI document should indulge in an avalanche of abuse and villincation that tends to deprive the high oHiee of the respect which Is its due.

coneernlnE Apples.

W a1HAuElOu t1eFAI0s
 The esteemed Montgomery Adver- tiser which sometimes turns aside from the consideration of heavy. weight topics. Gov. Conner. and so forth, is moved to rapturous rhetorical gyrations in its issue of Wednesday last anent the subject Of apples.
 In contefnlattng a recent apple ex- htbit at q county fair in the faf-oR state of Washington. The Advertiser, drawing a good. leng breath. delivers itself of the following:
 The dumplings. the pies. the hard cider. the apple jack, and the many other luxuries and necessities of life which float before the imagination when reading of all the good things represented by these millions of ap- ples are enough to awaken feelings of envy in the breasts of those of us whose lines are cast in this part of the world, where apples are compaFa- lively scarce and highpriced."
 We have little doubt The Adverti- ser's mouth did water--such an ex- pression being entirely legitimate and proper. under the circumstances. we think; especially appertaining and re- lating to the aforesaid "appIs-tack" and hard cider" and forgetting, or in anywise sighting, the "otfier luxu- ries and necessities of life" alluded to. A contemporary doing business in Montgomefy--an isolated oasis in a desert of dry territory. destined lt- self dry on January 1--no doubt views a mirage of this quality with moistened eye and tear-blurred vis- ion.
 Aside from the pathos of the situa- | ton, however. we join the thanksgiv- ing chorus with The Advertiser in singing the praise of the dumplings and the pies. The wholesoTneness of apple pies and apple dumplinRs will not be disputed by any one who ever assimilated them in all their possible glory. Nothing ever enters the physi- cal system of mortal man possessed of purpose more benign than good, ripe apples. It matters not so much to the purpose of good health the cloak in which this delicious and nutritious fruit comes to the fsstai l board. It may make it's appearance between pie crusts or wrapped in the warm embrace of a well-fashioned dumplinE. It may. on the other hand. choose to come on natural, unadorned, and yet adorned the nost--just as 1t Is, without frills or furbelews: baked. | stewed. or yet as 'sass-" Nothing in that regard matters particularly pro or con. It is the apple that fixes the | goodness of the dainty rendered. Apples and deadly germs are an- cient enemies. albeit the former never heard Of the latter unttl recent years. That tired feeling" land this Eladsome fruit are strangers--they never speak as they pass by. Feed any community pIentifully on apples and It. will de- vcIop into nation of irfepresstble op- timists and good fellows. the spirits of whom cannot bs squelehed by the most adverse conditions or cast down ! h1y fhA most 6tFA nnfgfortAnGt

CnatIx Law Rohen.

Chicago Journal.
 A judges outfit in the way of robes imposes a heavy tax upon the newly appointed judge in England. although the cost is not nearly so great as it was in the early days of Queen Vic toria.
 Then it was the custom tor the law luminaries to attend court functions in figured damask silk gowns. with costly lace bands and rufles. Thesiger a celebrated legal disnitary of that day. is said on one occasion to have spent $500 on bands alone
 The Lord chancellor's robes cost somethink like $750. and even a judges stockings are an expensive item.
 The wardrobe of a judge costs any thing from $3.5O0 to $S00O, and if the newly fiedged "rny lord" Is attached to the Kings Bench \ Division he will require five gowns. a girdle "a scarf. . casting hood a black cap. a three-cor- nered cap. a beaver hat, a cooked hat n silk hat, lace bands and two full court suits swords. etc, to keep up the majesty of the law.

renders 1t still more possible that such misfortune as his~dsath might come to pass
 Of course the resolution offered by Senator Bacon. if it should be sdopt- ed. cannot or could not. affect such a condition as we have discussed, be- cause the proposed amendment would have to be submitted to the people and formally adopted before it would become effective. but it would pro- vide against any future emergencies of the kind. And in this connection 1t is interesting to note that in 1898 Senator Hoar reported from the Sem ate Judicisry committee 6 resolution providing for a sixteenth amendment similar to that of Senator Bacon, but from some cause the House of Rep. resentatives failed to concur, and that was the end of it. Senator Hoar was among the best constitutional law yers In Congress. and he spoke of the embarrassing condition the country would be in under such an emergency as we have been discussing. He called attention to the fact that there was serious apprehension felt for the safety of MT, Lincoln on his way to Washington just previous to the 9th of March. showing that if he he'd lost his life on the way the country would have been without President or any provision for one. All this gives im- portance to the Bacon resolution and shews the need of amending the Con- stitution as proposed.

scHwAn.a rHRrAr.

The Pittsburg Post suggests that "charies N. schwab's threat that the wages of steel workers will be cut if the duty on steel is reduced. does not balance with his notion of what con stitutes a reasonable pront. MT. schwab thinks about twenty-five per cent is legitimate for the manufae- turer. It is these distorted views that brings the trusts into disreputs The country has watched Mir. Carnegie att tain place as one of the weaithiest men the world has ever known through excessive profits in steel. He is unkind enough now to proclaim that those who are still in the business don't need the protection that permit ted him to amass great wealth. The country has watched Mir. carnegie's associates become mushroom multi miliionaires--through excessive profts in stsel--and occasionally retire from business"
 Plainly this statement by schwab is threst directed against those who would revise the tariff as it should be done. He knows that general re- auction ef wages. or an intention to do se. would cause strikes, iockouts and all other kinds of labor excuses. which would in turn cause serious trouble in various parts of the coun- try. He thinks that by thus holding up before Congress a picture of what would follow . reduction of trust prof It's he can prevent tarif revisien--and he may succeed. The trusts are a power in present day politics.
 The reference to Mir. Carnegie is en- tirsiy proper. Much credit has been awarded him for saying that the great manufacturing industries no longer need protection. It was a very late repentance on his part. Largely through and because of the benefits of q high tarir he amassed an enormous fortune. the true amount of which no human being knows. aud there can be no doubting or disputing that pro- tection helped him to become the rich man he is now. nor have we reason to doubt that he took full advantage of the opportunities afforded him by that tariff. Now that he has more wealth than he can possibly use; more than he knows what to do with. and more than he can ever spend. and has no desire to add to t, he can we'll afford to declare that protection Is no longer needed by the great indus tries s
 We can well imagine schwah and some others saying. in the language of Sir Toby .Belch: "Dost thou think that because thou art virtuous there shall be no more cakes and ale?" Those who are stiu in the business. and who are yet reapine the benefits of pro tction still want the cakes and aie'' in the way of fat profts. and they don't think carnegie's sudden accession of virtue should act against their in terests, Therefore they threaten and will not palk at anything that will enable them to carry their point T

Looking over the oflcial vote cast at the November election enc can read fly see the absurdity of any effort to form and build up new parties in this country. The vote for Debs and His gen and Chain and Watson shows exclusively that the people are not to be drawn away from the two great political parties which have so long been arrayed against each other. Cranks and enthusiasts may launch so-called parties and nominate can didates who will poll some votes but for the present at least the great masses of the voters will adhere to Democracy or Republicanism. At some future time there may arise a new political organization which will swamp one or both the two old ones. but plainly the time is not yet.
