Apparently for the double pur. pose of explaining and excusing the declaration in the resolution*adopt cd by the reciprocity convention that “the principle of protection" is “the established policy of our country" it is now stated that the new movement is one within the republican party. As there is no doubt that what is misleadingly called “the principle of protection" is the established policy of that l»arty, then, of course, there can be no objection to the resolution if the reciprocity movement organized at Chicago is to lie confined to rtpubli cans An intimation is given that the American Reciprocal Tariff League, which is to be the style of the organization growing out of the conference, is to offset the American Protective Tariff League, which is the central organization of those ultra protectionists now generally known as standpatters. The object is to maintain, and extend, if p ssiole. the export trade of this country by reciprocal concessions to be brought about through a maximum and minimum tariff Tue low rate is to be imposed upon the commodities imported from countries which do not discriminate against the United Sttaes. The iiign rate—supposedly from 25 per -ent to 50 per cent above the other -is designed to be wielded as a club against nations which impose high tariffs on American products It was recognized by the Chicago conference that the schedules of the < Pingley law are high enough to justify reductions now, but it is recommened that a permanent tariff commission be created and that it shall make suggestions as to prop* r concessions.

TTie IlaaalD* ot Some at Tlioee Whoee Origin We Can Trace, Some of the names of the commonest animals are lost in tbe dimness of antiquity, such as fox. weasel, sheep, horse, dog and baboon. Os the | origin of these the clew is forever lost. | With camel one cannot go further beck than the Latin word camelus. and , elephant is derived frjtu the old Hin- 1 doo word elpb. which means an ox. . The old root of the word wolf meant, one who tears or rends. Lynx is from the same Latin root; as the word lux (light) and probably was given to these wildcats on account of the fierce brightness of their, eyes. Lion Is, of course, from the j Latin leo. which word, in turn, is lost! far back in the Egyptian tongue, | where the word for the king of beasts I Was labu. The compound word ‘ leopard is first found in the Persian' language, where pars stands for pan- 1 ther. Seal, very appropriately, was I once a word meaning of the sea; clo».' to the Latin sal, the sea. Puma. jaguar, tapir and pec. ary' (from paquires) are all names from South American Indian languages.' The coyote and ocelet were called coyoti and oceiote by the Mexicans long before Cortes lauded on their shores. Moose Is fr-wi the Indian word mouswab. meaning wood eater; skunk, from segauku, an Algonquin term; wapiti ia the Creek language means white deer, and was originally applied to the Ilocky mountain goat, but the name is now restricted to the American elk. Caritiou is also a native Indian word; opossum is from possowue, an<l raccoonjs from the Indian arratbkuue (by further spheresis soon). llblu w eros la pure Greek, meaning nose horned, but beaver has indeed bad a rough time of it in its travels through various languages. It is hard- | ly recognisable as bebras, babru and I bni. The latter Is the ultimate root of the English word brown. The original application was doubtless on account of the color of the creature’s fur. Otter goes back to Sanskrit, where It Is udra. The significance of | this wont is in its close kinship to udan, meaning water. ' The little mouse hands Its name down through the years from the old, old Sanskrit, the root meaning to steal. The word rat may have been derived from the root of the Latin word vaI dere, to scratch, or rodere, to gnaw. Rodent is derived from the latter term. Cat is also in doubt, but is first recognized in catulus, a diminutive of canls, a dog. It was applied to the young of almost any animal, as the English words pup. kitten, cub, etc. Bear is the result of tongue twisting, from the I alt in fera, a wild beast. Deer is of obscure origin, but muy have been au adjective, meaulug wild. Elk Is derived from the same root os eland, and the history of the latter word is an Interesting one. It meant a sufferer, and was applied by the Teutons to the elk of the old world on account of the awkward gait and stiff movements of this ungainly animal. Squirrel has a poetic origin in the Greek language, its original meanlug being shadow tall. Tiger is far more intricate. The old Persian word tir meant arrow, while tighra signified sharp. The application to this great animal was in allusion to the swiftness with which the tiger leaps upon Its i prey —Detroit News-THbme.

THE APPOINTING POWER. A flfory of Pre«l«ie»l ttraot and •• Ohailmalr labor dinale. General Grant's generosity to bls f. in. u.ai | pr.i ale and ofiicial kindliestcs to tiie widows and orphans of Confederate soldiers. Is an old tale, but II bears r<]» tition In the form of [ sn Incident which Helen D. Longstreet gives in "Lev and Longatnsd at U.gt Tide." The widow of n Confederate officer applied l<> the post office department to be appoiut.d postmistress In a small southern town. As she beard nothing I of her application, she went to Washington to press it. She was unable to move tlie authorities at the powtoffict ■ ! department and was ab oil to go home In despair when n friend suggested that It might i>e worth while for her to see the president. With much effort she summoned courage and appeared at tlie White House Tlie president received her in a most friendly manner and after hearing her story took her application nnd wrote a strong but brief Indorsement on tiie back of It. She hurried in triumph to the |M>stoffice department. Tlie official to whom she presented I the application frowned and pondered i over it for some time and then wrote under the president's Ind wsement “This being a fourth class office, the president doos not have tlie nppjlntlrg power." The application was handed back to her. and she went away In deep distress and was again preparing to return home when another friend told her by all means to take the paper back to tlie president, ao that he might see bow his IndonM-tneut bad been receded. When the president read It be wrote under the last in i irseincnt. “While the president does not have the appiititlng power In this ottk-e. be has gie appointment of the postmaster general." and. summoning his secretary. President directed him to accompany th- lady to the department and in pen »n deliver her application to the postmaster general. She recei vxi ,ue commission before •be left the office. STREET ETIQUETTE While walking with a lady, the gentleman should take the side next the street. — One salutation is all that civility requires when pusslug a person more than once on a public promenada. If the lady with whom you are walking Is saluted by another gentleman, acknowledge the same by removing | your hat. The gentleman should raise bls hat when asking a lady's pardon forhin Inadvertence, whether she Is known to I him or not. Should you desire to converse with a lady you should happen to meet, do ; not detain her, but turn aud walk in ' her uh ect ion. While walking with a lady in a crowded thoroughfare and obliged to proceed singly, the gentleman should precede the lady. I• — ■ When Goldsmith Wrote. | An old volume which au Atlanta i booklover prizes was found in nn old bookshop recently. It is “The History of Rome.” by Oliver Goldsmith. Gold ■ smith’s name takes one back to the literary fellows of that day. the back ' work they did to keep life In them, for ' when Goldsmith was at work writing that history he was doing twenty different things besides, little odds aud 1 ends that brought money for bls daily bread, with a scolding landlady laying down the law to him, for it was the time when the great Dr. Johnson •thought himself Im ky when he wild dine in a- cellar on sixpence worth of trips* and a pennyworth of bread and wipe his fingers on the back of a Newfoundland dog after his greasy meal!"

Sweet Home,” Payne's song, was originally a number Is* the opera ! "Clari. the Maid ot Milan," a production brought out in 1823.

Over 100,000 copies were sold in the first year of its publication, and the sale in one font.- or another lias l>een constant ever since the first appearance of this beaus tif)> thetue. The melody is a Sicilian folk song and was adapted to the ’ words by Payne himself.
