TERMS FITTED TO CONDITIONS Flattering? anil Opprobloas Epithets riork' from Kaawn sad Obmrt Xoirrrt Words (ilvra, ew Mranimi. Major Hen O. Trutniin, who was private secretary to President Johnson during ths latter's occupany of the White house, was afford many opportunities for observa tlnn of political doings in those stirring tlmrs. and thus speaks with authority on the origin of many sxpren ons still In us In cirrent political llfo. Major Truman n elates that while many of the slang expres sions uxed In the t'nlted Stnten are railed "Americanism," most of the latter have lieen bequeathed ui from early English lit erature, and away down that line from Hiakepeare to Dickons; and some of our unit common applications have been adapted from the Itlble Itself. Hut an ex ception may be ma'le regarding our politi cal clung, nearly nil of which Is strictly original; and few or none of our presiden tial campaigns havo been carried through without the production of some new politi cal slang terms of inorti or lens tffecUve ness. Indeed, to go back only a few presi dential terms, no future treasure house of Amerlcan-KiiKlish words will be com. plite without the "mugwump" of ISM. It seemed expressionless and far-fetched, as first applied by some one never strictly trareahli to those republican goody- gnodys who broke away from lllalne aniM helped elect Cleveland, and no satisfactory conclusion was ever arrived at concerning Its pro.sody or etymology. When Drmorrnlii Were "Barnburners' In 104, the nickname of "locofocas" was given to the adherents of the democrnt'c pSrty throughout the T'nlted States, who followed the course of the majority of the members of Tammany hnll, who, when the lights were turned out on them during a tumultuous meeting, kept right on with their proceedings by fllrkerlngs from loco foco matches until nandles were procured. About the same time the members of the more radical wing of the New York de mocracy received the derisive name of "barnburners," cla.lng them with lot of lawless incendiaries, who for many months vented their spite on the owners of large grain and corn lands In the Mo hawk and Oswego valleys by burning their barns. Alontr In the '40s came the term "aboli tionists" and "fret Rollers," as applied to the growing anti-slavery element in the north; and about the same time the nick name of "doughfaces," as applied to pro slavery men of both parties In the north, and that of "fire-eaters," applicable to ex treme pro-slavery orators and newspaper editors of the south. Regarding the term "doughfaces" there has always been some differences of opinion as to Its orthography and meaning, but Hon. George Bradburn once said In a political speech that "John Randolph, In referring to these northern demagogues, from his seat In congress, branded them as 'doe-faces.' Randolph spelled the word d-o-e-faoo. In allusion to the timid, startled look of that animal, which la aatd to shrink from the reflection Of Its own face In the water." Copprbead" and "Carpetbaaa-ers." During the civil war the pro-slavery democrats and other rebel sympathizers In tha north were termed "copperheads," after one of tho meanest and most venomous of snakes. It was Mr, Llnooln who aald that "not all democrats were cop perheads, but all copperheads were democrats." Immediately after the war, those republicans who went south and were elected to office were called "carpet baggers," and all natives who affiliated with republicans were derided by the southern people generally as "scalawags." Probably more political slang grew out of the campaign of 1S70 than of all the ethers that preceded It, and the "bar'l of money," "bulldoslng," "visiting states men," "solid south," "stalwarts," "shot gun policy," "nineteen rebel brigadiers," "counting out," "returning boards," "nephew of his uncle," and soma others be long to that momentous rear. A few years afterward Congressman Flanagan of Texas contributed to our political Americanisms "What are we here for?" and Cobb of Georgia asked "Where am I atr But Senator Quay of Pennsyl vania added a phrase to political literature that wilt reach a good old age when be wrote to a friend: "You do your part and I will shake the plum tree." ' It was In 1878 that ws first heard of tha 'dark horse," Mr. Hayes having been trot ted out as that equine Individual. There have bean many attempts to hunt op the psdlgree of tha dork horse In politics, and the following has been generally the most satisfying: A few years "befo' de wh" there lived In Tennessee a trading horse Jockey who had a coal black stallion, al most a thoroughbred. He entered this horse In a country raoe meeting where he was not known and where tha natives heavily backed two or three favorites against htm. Old Judge McMlnamee, the turf oracle of that part ei the state, was one of the adges of the meeting, and when ha was told how the stranger was foolishly betting on Ids horse, he looked st the stallion and said: "Gentlemen, there's a dark horse In this race that will make some of you suffer before supper." Origin of "Halt River" Vakaowa. That Imaginary stream called "Salt river" up which defeated candidate are supposed to be rowed, la one of the moat felicitous of all our political Americanisms, although its authorship is unknown. Ths tsrm "caucus" was first used In 18. El bridge Garry, a democratic Massachusetts politician of the latter part of the eigh teenth and early part of the nineteenth century, was accused of having instigated tha first divlMtun of states Into congressional districts without regard to the natural order and conditions In order that his party tulght succeed; thus, "gerrymander." Probably the greatest excitment. next to the civil war, our country has ever known, was that In M55--7. between the abolition ists of the north and the slave holders of the south, for the possession of Kansas, then opening to the advance of Immigra tion, and out of w hich the terms "Bleeding Kansas," "Murder Kufflna" and "Squatter Sovereignty" became dramatically expres sive, and are undoubtedly defined In all text and phrase books. The word "lioas" was first applied by Henry J. Raymond In the New York Times In l&t to Isaiah Rynders. who was at the head of the democrallo marching clubs of that yar. The word is derived from the Dutch settlers who first colonised New Amsterdam. Haas In the Dutch language signifies a master or the foreman of a workshop. Aad Taer Are Called "Msrkiaft." Regarding ths word "machine." as de risively applied to politics In various parts of the I'nlted State during the last fifty years. It has been generally believed that It originated In New York, where, up to lit0. the f re engines were called machines the firemen were volunteers, and all of them politicians of some degree. But the application was borrowed from the Ung- hsh, for as long ago as 1S40 the duke of Wellington wrote to a friend as follows: "Such Is the operation of the machine as now established that no Individual can have any personal Influence." The word "floater," too. as applied to the purchas able voter," Is filched from the English. The terms "Jingo" and "Jingoism" were voluminously applied to Secretary Blaine and to President Cleveland and to their brilliant and patriotic attitudes as Ameri cans by foreign newspapers In their at tempt to show that the Americans were spoiling for a fight. The words evidently come from the Amazonian empress of China, named "Jingo," who made a furious oral onslaught on Corea In 204 A. L). Kan sas City Star. GERTRUDE SAYS "SMOKE UP" Noted Novel Writer Thinks I'rlnee Mcotlse Is Pnpalar with Women. Gertrude Atherton, novel writer, pre sents these novel opinions In the New York World: "Let 'em smoke." meaning the women. "Women of the better class do not object, because they do It. "Most of them, though, once they have acquired the habit, probably would like to have their license to smoke when and where they plea.se extended. And why shouldn't they enjoy the tame privilege as men In that regard? "I know there Is a certain stodgy bour geois sentiment against smoking," she con tinued. "I bear that club women and per sons of that sort occasionally Indulge In pious animadversions upon smoking women. ."And often some public lecturer will get up and rant and make herself ridiculous denouncing the practice, but clgaret smok ing Is increasing rapidly In America never theless. And why shouldn't It? It's a pleasant pastime. "I'll venture to say that many of those women who make so much fuss In public go home and light a clgaret in their own rooms and help pass a dull evening. "Burely you'll not be surprised to learn that at the houses where I am entertained In New York and Pan Francisco clgarets are passed to the women with their cof fee as a matter of course. And wherever women have become frank and havo lost their little hypercritical nerves you find them smoking, Just as they drink liqueurs after dinner." . IV o Trick at All for Him. Just before the boat left on its return trip, a big, rosy German came straggling down the pier to the ticket gate. "Ticket, please," said the keeper. "1 don't got a teckit I'm dor drummer mlt der band," replied tho German. "But you must have a ticket." "Veil, I hat one but I loose him." "You must have it, I tell you." persisted the gatekeeper; "you couldn't lose it." "Vat!" shouted the bandman, "I could n't loose dat Utile teckit? Meln Gott! I haf loose my bass-drum!"

GRANDFATHER HIGH IN ORDER Marrlaae of Prince Victor Napoleon Hons parte and Princess Clemen tine of Helglnm Kmarks f Itomancr, BY LADY MARY MANWARING. IXVIw-iN, Oct. Z-(Ppeclal to The Bee.) Just as soon as he Is of suitable age the prince of Wales will be Initiated Into the mysteries of Free Masonry. His august grandfather was an enthusiastic freemason and was grand master of the order for Great Britain. When he ascended the throne, the supreme dignity of grand muster of Kngllsh freemasons was trons ferred to the duke of Connaught. in con sequence of the fact that the then prince of Wales was not a member of the frater nity. But there is no reason to suppose that his majesty will interpose any ob stacle to the Initiation of his sons ss they severally attain year of discretion. It may be confidently assumed that the ceremony of initiation in the case of the prince of Wales will be conducted by 'the duke of Connaught himself. What of the Second Hon. The court entourage is naturally Indulg ing In speculations as to his majesty's In tentions with respect to Trlnce Albert, who Is eighteen months younger than his elder brother, and will attain his legal majority on December 14, two years hence. There U no actual precedent that would require his admission to the Noble Order of the Garter on that day, and for tho time being nothing can usefully be said on that point. But it Is well to remember that the con ferment of a dukedom upon a minor Is perfectly regular, and It is not in the least likely thnt King George will wait so long before raising his second son to a formal place In the peerage by making him duke of York. This Is the tltlo that by common consent is chosen for this purpose. It may be taken for granted that Prince Albert will receive this honor at an early date, and in quarters likely to be well Informed, the date marked out for this purpose is his birthday, two months hence. Light of the World. The late Hulman Hunt's famous picture, "The Light of the World," now In the chapel of Keble college, Oxford, was orig inally bought by the Dowager Iady Tweed mouth.

BRANDEIS STORES-OIV2AIHIA. and Canada, Sir Wyke Bayhss tells of tho three young painters who stood together in a Chelsea studio talking over their idea of painting Christ. They were Hunt, Mil lets and Rossettl. Paid Rossettl, "1 have a friend who Rill serve as my model; I need only add an aureole." "I rannot paint what I have not seen." said MlUals; "aod t have never seen the Christ. I can find a rhlld-a beautiful noman an old man. I can paint these In a carpenter's shop; and the story of the picture will reflect the story of their llvis. But It will not be a picture of Christ. It will be a picture of a carpenter's shop." But Holman Hunt lifted his great "seeing eyes," and said slowly, "I will find Christ, that I may behold lllin and paint lliin as He was. If I cannot find Him In the west I will seek him in the cast. 1 will tear tho secret from the stones of the city where He dwelt, from tho sands of the desert where He hungered, from the waters over which His feet have passed. I will find Him. I will paint Him ere I die." It was a remarkable resolution. Perhaps the fire that flamed in his own heart save to Hunt the vision that he craved. Tho result was "The Light of the World." Another Royal Uotnnnce. Only youth is needed to make the mar riage of Prince Victor Napoleon Bonaparte and Princess Clementine of Belgium quite romantic. As It la. it Is difficult to be gushingly enthusiastic over a pair whose united ags verge upon eighty years. And yet the story of their courtship Is suf ficiently picturesque; and played out. as It has been, on the steps of a throne with a quantity of shadowy possibilities In the background it cannot fail to be Interest ing to the onlookers. Prince Victor Is now in his 4fith year that Is to say. three years older than his great-uncle was at the Battle of Waterloo. Indeed, his ago tells rather cruelly analnst him In every way. The tightly buttoned gentleman, with the aggressive moustache, reminds one much more of his other uncle, King Humbert of Italy, than of the Im perious and Imperial Corsloan who strode In his day across the map of Kurope, alter ing It at his will. He Is the eldest son of Prince Napoleon, tho son of King Jerome, the youngest brother of the great emperor. Jerome Bonajarte was obliged to repudiate his American wife, Kllzabeth Paterson, and to marry Princess Catherine of Wurtemberg. His children by her Prince Napoleon and Princess Clothilde were connected on their mother's side to-many of the royal houses of Europe. Prince Napoleon married Clothilde, daughter of Victor Emmanuel, "It Re Galantuomo," first sovereign of United Italy. Personality of the Princess. Princess Clothilde. a most high-born and saintly personage, had little in common with the second empire; and when, as a child of 18 years, she was brought to ParlH, the bride of "plon-plon," her life was little short of martyrdom.

Love Is said to laugh at locksmiths, but them was a peculiar reversal of the old tag at a wedding which was announced to take place at Burton-on-Trent. It arrears that shortly before 9 o'clock the bride groom, Mr. John Klmberley, accompanied by his best man proceeded to St. Chad's church. They had been waiting several minutes and were expecting the bride. Miss Agnes Brown, momentarily, when the vicar robed in readiness for the ceremony, hurried into the church and expressed a fear that the ceremony could not take place, a!' lie could not open the safe door. The bride was informed of the pcsHtion of affairs and that it was hoped to arrange the ceremony later in the day, as mar riages may be solemnized up to 3 o'clock In the afternoon. Four men worked inces santly upon tho safe with various tools up to 2 p. m.. but. could not open It and It was then reluctantly decided to postpone the wedding. The safe was subsequently un locked by the makers' representatives. WHAT WOMEN ADE DOING. Miss Frances Kirk of Warren. Me., thinks I she has tho largest dahlia In the tn.
