TIIE ROWS that the protected monopo- 1
lists are backward about coming forward '
with contributions to the Republican j
campaign fund this year indicates that
said protected monopolists are, in their
way, good business',men. Having bought :
the McKinley schedule of prohibitory
tariff taxes and paid roundly for it four j
years ago, the manufacturers may
naturally feel that they have a right to
demand a continuance of the same
without paying any more tribute to
Republican bosses. If they were to ,
keep their pockets open it wouldn't he I
long before they would have to pay in i
blackmail to the campaign managers a 1
good deal more than the profit of protec-
tion would amount to. Moreover, it i 8
plain that the people of this country are (
not going to submit to class taxation ■
much longer. The manufacturers pro- <
bably foresee the election of a tariff i
reform president and congress in Novem
ber, and therefore beg to be excused '
from pouring any more good dollars into
the McKinley rat hole.
i
IT is observed that the presidental 1
canvass is dull this year compared with s
the activity that was usual at this period '
in former campaigns. There has been 1
but little movement on either the Demo
cratic or the Republican side. The latter
may be retarded by the difficulty that
lias been experienced in getting the
leaders to pull in the party traces, hut
there is no such difficulty with the
Democrats. The inertness may be due
to the fact that the enemy they will
have to fight has not yet made an
appearance in the field. The interest
which the people have taken in the
Homestead difficulty has had, in a large
measure, the effect of drawing attention
from the political field. That episode
lias also demoralized the Republicans,
who at the very threshold of the cam- |
paign which they intend to make on the ]
tariff issue, find themselves confronted ,
by such an object lesson on the benefits I
of the McKinley system of protection. 1
It isn't any wonder that they are con
siderably rattled.
THE New York World, with the co
operation of other prominent Demo
cratic newspapers throughout the coun
try, is making an energetic fight for the
capture of several Western states. Over
$20,000 have been subscribed in less
than two weeks, and this money is to he
spent for strictly legitimate campaign
purposes. It is not a fund of fried fat
such as the other side gathers together
every four years. It will not he spent
in buying votes in hlocks-of-five, or in
any other corrupt or illegal manner.
Over 3000 people have contributed to the
fund, and every Democrat is asked to
send his mite, even if it he only a dime,
in order that the light may he spread
amoug the people of the West. Contri
butions may lie sent either direct to the
World or through the TRIBUNE, and will
he promptly acknowledged.
THE high protective tariff now in force
is the fosterer of another trust just form
ed in New York. Tha manufacturers of
wall paper, a commodity subject to a
tariff tax of twenty-five per cent., have
combined with the avowed purpose of
cheapening the cost of manufacture but
with the evident purpose of forcing up
the price to the consumer. It does not
take much thought to understand if the
product was open to foreign competition
that such a combine would be useless.
As it is the consumer is compelled to
pay the tariff tax not, because he im
ports the article, hut in the inflation of
the price of the home product. The
house owner pays the tax when he orna
ments his room; his poorer neighbor in
the payment of rent.
IN the two days that have elapsed
since the Democrats held their legislative
convention a decided change has come
over many of the veteran workers in the
party. Their enthusiasm died a sharp
and sudden death since the fact was
demonstrated that they do not amount
to anything so long as they reside out
side the limits of Jlazlcton.
NO BIG ANIMALS.
A/HAT VAST AREAS OF LAND IN
TORRID COUNTRIES LACK.
Nome District. in Which There Are No
Wlhl Animal, nf Considerable Size.
Inland, of the Wert Indian Archipel
ago Called n "Gumeless Country."
A Russian naturalist, Professor Ma
clay, who passed several years in the in
i terior of Papua, describes the highland
i district of the great island as a region
as remarkable for its scdnery and pro
ductiveness as for its salubrious crimate
—a perpetual May in the terrace lands,
with March and April plateaus here and
there in the highest mountains. The
area of tho whole island exceeds that
of Texas, hut its population hardly
aggregates a million, nine-tenths of the
aborigines being lowland settlors, black
idlers gorged with the yam roots and
wild hog steaks of the coast plain. The
uplands, too, abound with game and fish,
and the only conceivably reason why the
natives should limit their hunting
grounds to the sweltering coast jungles
is their preference for a climate that
enables them to dispense with dry goods
tho year round. >
In tho Torres range there are summits
towering to the height of 11,000 feet, hut
tho close proximity of the equator has
covered the highlands with a luxuriant
vegetation. Snow is hardly ever seen,
hut chill nights—light frost even—occur
now and then, and the fflzzle haired
coast dwellers avoid the mountains as
the Indios Mansos of tho Mexican low
lands avoid the tierra fria. Papua is a
paradise of birds, but the kingdom of
mammals is represented only by a few
marsupials (ground kangaroos, tree
kangaroos and opossums), besides the
wild hogs of the river jungles.
A much stranger country in regard to
the absence of wild animals is found in
tho near neighborhood of our own con
tinent. The West Indian archiplago,
with its four magnificent islands and
countless islets, has been justly termed
the "gameless country," a region of
more than a hundred thousand square
miles, monopolized almost entirely by
birds and insects (even reptiles being
scarce), as if the archipelago had been
somehow overlooked on the last two
days of creation, and left to he settled
by such creatures as could reach its
coasts swimming or flying. There are
forests teeming with spontaneous fruit,
but no monkeys, no wild hogs, no hears
or raccoons. The larger carnivora are
not represented by a single species.
No pumas or jaguars (though both are
found on the coasts of tlie neighboring
mainland), no panthers, lynx or wildcat.
Foxes, wolves and jackals, too, are con
spicuous by their absence. The caves
of tlie limestone Sierra would seem to
he admirably adapted to marmots and
woodchucks, hut they are tenanted only
by bats. On the fine highland pastures
there aro no bisons, no doer, no antelopes,
and, strange to say, not even rabbits.
Sheep, goats, horses, donkeys, cows,
hogs and even dogs were introduced
after the Spanish conquest, and the only
domestic mammal kept by the natives
at the time of discovery was a small
kind of wolf (prairie wolf) imported
from Mexico, and a few species of squir
rels, which tho Cubans fattened for
culinary purposes without knowing any
thing about a classic precedent—the
gliraria (rat kennels) of the ancient
Romans, who preferred dormouse on
toast to the best Syrian pheasant pies.
Dogs and cats were unknown, and
that lack of household pets seems to
have driven the aborigines to strange
expedients, for in "Ogilvy's Voyages"
thero is an account of a San Domingo
cacique who kept a tame manatee that
made its headquarters in an artificial
pond and was so well tamed that "when
called by its name, Matoom, it would
come out of the water and go directly to
the cacique's house, where, being fed, it
returned to the pond, accompanied by
men and hoys, who seemed to charm the
manatee by their singing, and it often
carried two children at a time on its
back. Being once, however, struck by
a pike in the hands of a Spaniard it
would never after come out of tho water
if a clothed man were near.
Manatees have become rather scarce
on tlie coast of San Domingo, hut are
often seen near the Island of Pinos,
northwest of Cuba, where shoals of the
strange creatures may he seen sporting
"bout the reef like the sea lions below
the Cliff House. Of all aquatic mam
mals the manatee, however, can claim
the championship in the art of dodging i
a 6udden attack; a leveled harpoon is i
enough to make them plunge under j
with a "no yon don't" snort, and then
pop up again at unexpected times ami i
places, waving their flippers in derision, j
and ready to disappear for good at the j
first suspicious motion.
The luxury of the Doniis!ican cacique j
was therefore not apt to he shared by I
many of his subjects. Puppies and kit- i
tens were never seen in their cabins, and
tho largest land animal of the island was
an overgrown rat, known as the lmtia,
and measuring about eighteen Inches
without the tail. Its caudal appendugi
is a compromise between that of tlie true
rat and the California gopher, whom it
resembles In itß fondness for grain and
in its burrowing mania, one pair owning
often as many as four different dens,
more or less connected by subterranean
tunnels.
With the exception of that shy rodent,
Cuba, Han Domingo, Jamaica und Costa
Rica have no laud creatures deserving
the name of a game animal, for even the
omnivorous appetite of the Haytian
darkies draws the line at the musk
scented giant rats of tho coast forests.

Tlie Gladioli.
The splendid gladioli which now orna
ment all American gardens, from the
finest to the humblest, when summer is
at its height, are, as every one knows,
natives of the Capo of Good Hope, great
ly improved and infinitely diversified by
cultivation. But perhaps it is not as
generally known that tho old fashioned
har.lv auueiea. hearing a few small roes
red or, rarely, white blossoms, whicnour
grandmothers loved long before its
showier cousins became the fashion, is
| of European origin, and is indeed a fa-
I miliar field flower throughout central
[ and southern Europe.
| In those parts of southern France
where the festival called tho Fete Dien
is still publicly observed, its varieties
are more generally employed than any
other flowers to decorate tlie canopies
borne in tho processions and the little
shelters where they halt.—Garden anil

The lii,by Was New.
At the time when the coral honey
suckle was scarlet and bright around
the porch Dora made the acquaintance
of her new little sister. "What shall
we call her?" asked mamma. ' 'Daisy,
because she is sweet," said Rob quick
! ly. "No," said Dora slowly; "we'd bet
ter call lier honeysuckle, 'cause she's so
red I" The baby was called Daisy until
a name was decided upon. Shortly after
a lady called. "Our baby's name is
j Gertrude," said Rob. "Indeed! Didn't
you use to call her Daisy?" "Use to!"
exclaimed Dora. "There isn't any 'ase
to' about our hahy. She's too new."—

ETYMOLOGY MADE INTERESTING.
Tlie Origin ami Curious Evolution of
Some English Surnnmcs.
A magazine article by Sir Herbert
Maxwell presents in a very readable
form the derivation of a number of
common names. It will be news, for
example, to many of our readers that
Snooks was once known as Sevenoakes.
Some persons are not aware that Eliza
beth is to be accounted an uncouth form
of Isabel, which was formed from Isa
beau on a false supposition that Isabeau
was masculine. Eliza, it is stated, is
not a shortened form of Elizalwth, hut
is tho equivalent of Alice. Murion, we
know, is in line with Marie, Mary and
Maria.
Patronymics have been much multi
plied through pet names. Tho Saxons
formed pet names by adding to tlie
original name—often abbreviated—kin
and cock, and the Normans introduced
et and ot, en and on. From William we
have the pet names Will, Wilcock, Wil
kin, Willett, Willey, Willeinot, Willen,
Bill and Guili (Latin). From these we
get, in order, Williams, Mac William,
Williamson, Wills, Wilson, Wilcox, Wil
kins, Wilkison, Wilkinson, Willet, Wil
letson, Wilmot, Willing, Bilson, Gill,
Gilson, Gilkius, Gilkison, Gillon and
Gillott. Robert—through Robin, Dohh,
Hob, Rob and llohkin—gives us Rob
ert*, Robertson, Robins, Robinson, Rob
isou, Probyn, Dohhs, Dohson, Ilobbs.
Hobson, Rohbs, Rohson, Hopkins and
Hopkiuson.
Philip gives us Phippe, Philpot and
Philpots. Richard lias been distorted
by affection into the pet names Rich,
Richie, Dick, Diccon, Hitcliinand Hitch
cock. From these in turn we have
Richards, Richardson, Rickards, Pritch
ard, Rixon, Ritchie, Ricliison, Dick,
Dixie, Dixon, Dickens, Dickenson, Hitch
ins, Hitchison, Hitchcock and Hitchcox.
David lias given as Davidson, Dodson,
Dodds, Davy, Davison, Daw, Dawson,
Dawkins and O'Dowd. Wo liavo from
Henry tho derivations Hal, Hallet,
Harry, Harriot und Hawkins.
From John we get Jack and Jenkins;
from Simeon, Simkins. Thackeray'e
ancestor was a thatclier. Mai thus got
his name from multliouso and tho com
mon family name of Bacchus would be
more correctly spelled bakehouse. Mac
pherson means parson's son. Viekere
was the vicar's son. Wallace means u
Welshman, and Bruce is u Norman
name. Sinclair, Montgomery, Hay and
Vance are, like Bruce, names derived
from lands in Normandy. Many English
surnames end in ford, liam (house), lea.
ton (funn) and by (dwelling), from the
old practice of naming persons after
tlieir native place. Aylesford, Gritn
ston, Habersham and Ormsby are ex
amples.
Winslow is from words that mean
Wine's hill. From Lea wo get Leo,
Leigh and Legh, The fFelsh Ap, son.
with Robert, has become Probert. Ap
Rhys has become Price, Ap Owen has
become Bowen, and Ap Hugh has bo
come Pngli. A prosperous Dublin snuff
dealer named Halfpenny lias had his ap
pellation shortened, it is narrated, to
Halpen, and then enlarged to an impos
ing McAlpin. It is interesting in this
connection to know that Finn and Find
lay are Celtic surnames equivalent to
our White, Duff, Macduff and Dow are
for Black. Glass is for Gray. Roy,
Cockran and Cochrane all mean red.
Our Mr. Brown is in Celtic Mr. Dunn or
Mr. Donnan. Moore and Moran answer
to our Bigg. On the other hand, Beggs
is good Celtic for Little or Small. Oli
phant (elephant) is a name derived from
a shop sign. The reader will perceive
that many of onr Christian names and
surnames liavo had curious histories.—
