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

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

"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."

tfRlSCE TO BECOME A MAS UN
Wales Will Take Mystic Kites When
He Become! of Age.
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

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. Between her and the

locksmith l.nuaheil nt love.
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.
