Names of Dances.

The position taken by the dancers
gives the name to the ''quadrille"-
literal English for "a little square" in
the French tongue. From the French
we get also Country dance" which, as
matter of fact, has no reference to
rural frolics. "Contredanse," which
has reference. to the position of the
couples, opposite each other, is readily
corrupted into country dance" The
polka is Polish dance the name
being derived from the Bohemian word
"pulka," meaning half, and refers to
the half step which occurs in this
measure. The waltz" is German
waltzen, meaning to revolve-the cir
cular motion of the couples easily eX-
planning the connection. The 'reel' is
suggestively obvious. gig" is of
course from the French gigue.-Har-

He Robbed the Thief.

From Czenstochowa, the Mecca of
Polish pilgrims, comes an amazing
story of condolences. A pilgrim went
to one Of the priests and complained
that some thief had stolen his purse
while he was in church and asked for
money. The priest replied that he
had no money and that the best thing
for the pilgrim to do was to try to
find the thief.
II shall go into the church and steal
money from somebody else" said the
pilgrim, for l have nothing to go
home with" He went into the church
and, seeing n man in the crowd with
wallet on his back, slipped his hand
into it and pulled out his own stolen
purse, with the exact sum he had left
in it. He was so glad to find his mon
ey that he hurried off to tell the priest,
and the thief got away.-Warsaw Cor.

The mode of turning down the petit
tion for an election on disncopor-
alton is still prominent topic of
conversation. The tactics adopted
were never before resorted anywhere,
so far as we have heard. What would
be thought of the members of the
state legislature going around and
importuning citizens to sign a written
paper Withdrawing their names from
a petition presented to the lawmaking
body, for the purpose of multiplying
said petition. Such action would be
deemed outrageous. Suppose the
supervisors should take a notion to
pursue such a course with regard to a
petition before them, would they not
be scored from one end of the county
to the other for so doing. And yet
they have just as much right to
assume that authority as the city
trustees have with respect to the petit
tion presented to them. 1t is re-
Fiction upon the whole community,
and the more the facts are known the
worse it appears.

The grand jury was summoned las:
Monday solely for the purpose of in
curing into the alleged conspiracy
that resulted lin the destruction OF
the Summit house on Sutter Hill by
fire recently. In a grand jury in
vestigation only one side is usually
heard; the defendant has no right to
be heard in his own behalf; although
it is permissible for the jury to call
the defendant. 1t is an expensive
way of criminal prosecution, and is
discarded in most counties tor the
simple and equally efficient method
of information by the district attor-
ney, after being held by a magistrate
on preliminary examination. Why
the indictment system is preferred in

BIG CROP ESTIMATE
Dabney White Predicts Four Million
Bales.

Bales.
San Antonio, Texas, Oct. 1S.-Dab
ney White, a magazine writer who has
been making study of the cotton crop
of Texas, prophesies that the yield
this year will reach the tremendous
amount of four million bales. Previous
estimates made earlier in the season
have put the amount to a little over
three million bales. At his figure the
gross value of the crop will be $780,,
000, 900, or a little over $40 for every
man, woman and child in the state.
Mr.. White points out in his travels
through this state he finds that gins
are running during the entire year. In
Southwest Texas the ginning begins
in the latter part of June and lasts
until well into winter. In Northwest
Texas il begins in the fall and the
wind up is not until July of the follow
ing year. This remarkable situation
indicates the great difference in
cimatical conditions throughout the
immense eXpanse of territory that
makes up the state of Texas.
The agricultural department OF
Austin. basing an estimate of 3,000,-
600 bales on information received
through official sources.

he REPUBLICS Questions Answered

The San Antonio Republic (alias
Mai. Mase Harris) 'propounds four
questions to The Eagle inasmuch
as they are fair and worthy of con
sideration we respond with pleasure.
The Republi's first question is
rs not the Democratic party com
mitted to prohibition? Emphatically
no. If you were not blinded by pre-
judice and would read the platform
you would know that it is not
Question No. 2: WAS not the State
Democratic convention controlled by
Prohibitionists There was no test
vote on this question. A majority vot
ed in favor OF submitting prohibition
amendment to the people, but many
who so voted are opposed to Statewide
prohibition. The sovereignty of the
people is the bedrock of the democra
cy and no true Democrat will deny the
people a referendum when they de.
mand it, as they are doing now.
Question No. 8: Does not the Dem
ocratic platform demand Prohibition
No, it does not. Again We ask you to
read the platform, and If you don't
know the meaning Of plain English
words, look in the dictionary.
Question No. 4 did not the dem
ocracy nominate an avowed Prohibi
ZIONIST as their candidate for govern
orr" 1t has been generally reported
and not denied that Governor Camp
bell voted for Statewide prohibition
twenty-one years ago. So did Senator
Bailey, for whom you profess great
admiration. Bailey has changed and
why not Campbell? Hon. ]. B. Dib
rell of Seguin is alleged to have said
in a recent speech that the governor
is now opposed to Statewide prohibi
ton and that if the legislature should
enact a statutory prohibition law he
would vote it. The Eagle does not as.
sert that this is true, however. What.
ever be the private opinion of Gov.
ernor Campbell does not affect the
position of the Democratic party.
