Timidly Handed Over.

Recklessly begun, the Delaware and Hudson
railroad strike was rashly ended. If the stu
alton was truly described by Messrs. Loree a--d
Sims. they have done more than to make per-
sonal surrender to the unions They have re-
lnquished the rights of the people They have
made heroes Of the needless. They have put out
of their reach every means of discipline They
have set an example that is likely to be noted
by arbitrary labor chieftains in many States.
When the evil results OF this capitulation be-
gin to appear, it will be we'll to recall the fact
that neither politics nor legislation executive
pressure had anything to do with the matter.

Origin Of the Word Alcohol.

In the second century, b. c., the Egyptians had
an eye salve containing anthony sulphide which
an Arabic, was called "ko" or with the article
ar ko1.' Originally the WORD denoted hny
remedy for the eyes. and especially liquid col
lyrium. made from burnt incense and burnt
almond shells. Later any fine powder was called
al kol. and by extension. any fine subtle
substance. whether in powder form not.
Since the fineness and volatility OF wine were
called It's spirit" the latter was also termed

word has persisted to the present time, in the
expression "alcoholisatus," used for drugs in
very fine powder.--The Pharmaceutical Era
