POSITION rrespondence of The Evening Star. CARSON, Nev., October 24, 1894. In politizal matters the state of Nevada, pointed at now as one of the “pocket bor- states of the Union, and threatened some time age with annexation with Utah, possesses tue greatest number of parties and candidates for the smallest amount of population: of any part of the United States. Naturally these differences arise from the geographical contour of the coun- try. The state is spread out over a vast area, the greater part of which consists of mountainous country or alkali deserts, or is fit for the mest part only for mining and stock raising. Under such conditions, of course, there are no large cities, and but very little communication that will put the people in tne different parts of the state in sympathy wid one another on_ political issues, or even -licw entire accord in any one party. It is this feeling that has given rise to the nomination of five candidates for Con- gress. Francis G. Newlands, the sitting member and representative of the out-and- out silver party, is again before the people. ‘The remnant of the republican party who still believe that there is something to be gained by remaining true to the allegiance and combining the principles of protection | and free silver in the one fight have put The populists also came to the front, and while announcing themselves as the one and only silver party that can accomplish anything in the end, have nominated James C. Douty of Elko. ‘The democrats were always very much in a hopeless minority in the small state, which still clings to many of the traditions of the but, nevertheless, there was enough of the party ‘thi: vear. ‘as last, to form the two sides to a very pretty factional and while the regular organization pl B. F. Riley in nominacton, Jules 8. Gignoux and his followers, who form a respectable portion of the party, declined to abide by the decision and volted the ticket straight, placing a man of their own in the race. Though the state 's thinly settled, except around the eastern ‘im, where the Southern Pacific railway crosses the line, and where che great bonanzas have been found in the past, each party, is making a strong can- vass all over the region. The railway com- munication is not good, and campaigning to a great extent has to be done with the aid of. buckboards. With them the journeys over the mountains are rough and the rides over the alkali deserts are anything but pleasant. However, the citizens are being rovsed (o the necessity of voting this time, and there wil. probably be a fuil poll. No Senators in It. Neither of the United States Senators are in the fight. It is thought that Senator Scewart 1s conviaced tnat the silver party will win, and has no more care than that; and for this reason he is staying In Wash- ington. With Senator Jones it is different. Although he has renounced republicanism, he has not announced allegiance with the populists or the ‘iver party or the demo- crats. No one can say to which side he will lean when he does form a new alliance. However, it ts generslly thought that It is his determination to be a free lance from this time on, and co work with any party, in any locality, where the candidates and principle. of that party are favorable to free silver. His action in renouncing the republican party has had a great effect on the situa- tion In Nevada. The state has been almost prostrated by the adverse silver legislation of the last twenty years, and there 1s little to hope for iinless silver is again restored as the money metal of the country on a parity with gold. For this reason the whole state is worked up over the silver question. ‘That is the first and last consideration in the politics of the region, and any party that is in line with the silver advocates is sure to gain a great deal of support among the voters. Senator Jones has been always looked upon as the leading advocate of the silver cause and his following in the state have never cared to question any of his acts on the question. Therefore, when he said that there was no longer any hope for silver in the republican party | those words almost proved the death biow of the wing of the party in Nevada, and there is little hope that they can win the election. A Sliver Lining. On this the democrats are making a strong fight. They say that the demo- cratic party has always had silver leanings and if the west had not always been so uncompromisingly republican the demo+ crats would long ago have nominated a western man for President and elected him, and after that silver would have been restored. It is the argument now that the east holds the balance of power in politics because the south has been solidly demo- cratic and the west solidly republican. If a change can be brought about whereby the interests of these two sections can be for- warded by an alliance under one political party then the two will be strong enough to bid defiance to the east and pass what- ever legislation may be necessary. They hold, of course, that the negro ques- tion in the south precludes for many years any break of any importance in that re- gion, and say that the west, with more at stake, must go to the south for the alliance, and that the alliance, to prove of any benefit, must be made under the democratic banner. For the west to 50 to the third party, they urge, wouid be just as injurious to the cause of silver as though the region were to remain true to the republicans, for such action would force the democrats again in 1896 to go east for their candidate in order to insure them enough strength to carry the election. As under such circumstances the republi- can candidate also would be taken from the east there would be little to hope for. Next to sliver the tariff question ts hav- ing the greatest bearing in the campaign. Nevada has no large manufacturing in- dustries, but the new tariff has struck her wool raising and lead producing people, and therefore there is # strong element that will try and carry the state for the republicans in order to enter an emphatic protest against the tariff system now in vogue. Wool is a staple of Nevada and is one of the chief industries outside of mining. During the past summer the price has been down to a ruinous figure and much hardship among the sheep owners and their employes was & consequence. The price has raised somewhat, it is true, since the Gorman bill passed, but then it has not reached the figures that pre- vailed a year ago, and the producers cre fearful of the effect when what the re- publicans term a sudden burst of industrial energy wears off. These men wil! have with them the lead miners, who have also had the protection taken off their product and do not like it because the price is down h a low figure that the mines can- afford to operate extensively, and pros- pecting for silver and lead mines is almost at a standstill. ut it is likely that in the five-cornersd t the straight silver party, to which ewart and Newlands belong, will he vic- torlous, and the populists will probably make showing for second place, while the republicans will far outdistance the two democratic candidates, who are divid- ing the strength cf that party. EE uaa Michigan's } Militia, “We consider that this division would be of geeat value to the United States on the lakes from their efficiency as an armed force and their knowledge of marine af- fairs in these waters; and also that a train- ed body of this class of men, of such spirit ag they display, must of necessity be a valuable adjunct to the United States navy in time of war.” This is the sudstance of a long teport made to the Navy Department by the board of naval officers detailed to inspect the first division of the Michigan state naval brigade, A CHINESE PUZZLE|: a, The Difficulty in Looating the Places Men- tioned in War Dispatches. Significance of Chinese Geographic Names as Explained by a Naval Officer — Outcome of the War. “Perhaps some wild ate trying to follow the so far brilliant campaign of the Japan- ese in the war with their colossal enemy,” said a naval officer to a Star reporter, “have been puzzled to find the whereabouts of many of the places mentioned in dis- patches, It is no wonder, for the spelling of those names has been carried out under two distincc systems, the continental (European) and the English, and a few have been fur- ther mangled by the telegraph after the cor- respondents have transmitted them. For example, the old-fashioned geographical word spelt chow by the English, may be written tchiau by the French, or chu by others, and it was reduced to ju by the ca- ble the other day in at least cne case—Wel- ju, which may be found in some atlases as Y-tcheou, Reference has also been made to the imperial palace at Jc-hol, which has been marked on maps Zhehol and even She- hol, which last unpleasantly suggestive spelling is a misnomer fer the Hunting Park, though the name does mean Hot river. When in doubt it may be well to try all names by both the continental and English systems of pronunciation, and to search the maps for either spelling. “A few random notes may add interest to our inspection of the rather indifferent maps we possess, and may show that in China, as elsewhere, names have meanings, and in some cases entertaining ones. To begin with the cardinal points: North,south, east and west are, respectively, Peh, Nan, ‘Tung und St; so that the important city which we generally call Pekin is, in fact, Peh-King, and means northern capital; or in another way lofty-ten-millions, which exceeds our expression upper-ten-thousand; it also bears, to the confusion of outside barbariahs, the title Shun-Tien Foo, allud- ing to the superintending hand which di- rects streams of all things, Nan-King used to be the southern capital before the pres- ent Ta-Tsing or sublimely pure dynasty re- moved to its existing quarters. The two provinces, Shan-Tung and Shan-Si, are, respectively, east of the hills and west & the hills, the character Shan being a corrupt form of the original pictorial representation of three mountain peaks. The province which contains the capital is Chih-I, mean- ing direct rule, because Peh-King, the source of supreme power, is in it. The province of Liau-Tung, also called Shing- King, between the Ya-lu river and the great wall, has the appropriate meaning remote distance. China's Sorrow. “The northern dialect is so different from that of the south that the natives them- selves are often compélled to communicate with each other through, the written char- acters, or still more .strangely, through pidgin English, In @hejnorth the word ho means river. and hoeng, (sometimes incor- rectly spelt wang), !bettig yellow, we have the. title Yellow river—poetically ‘China’s Sorrow,’ from its where i floods and be- u cause it ‘floweth where. jt listeth,” its pri ent mouth being so1 ree hundred miles from one of its former points of discharge. The name Yellow is:derived from the mud dy color of its waters,<which in turn dis- color the Gulf of Pe-Cht-Li and the Yellow sea. The mud has also made the gulf shal- low, and, with that from the Pei-Ho, has caused the mud flats near Ta-Ku, which brought disaster te the English in their first attack upon ithe forts there, when our flag officer, Tattnall, a ed an interna- tional point and safthat ‘Blood is thicker than water.’ In the south, kiang is the word for river, and Yanig-Tze is, translated, Son of the Ocean. eourse Yang-Tze-Ki- ang river is tabtologoug, though it has been so written, Peking being'a very sacred cap- ital, Tien ‘Tsin, on the way to it along the Pel-Ho, is Heaven's Gate, according to cne reading. “Among the words most commonly used with the names of towns arerthree descrip- tive terms: Foo, in old times, meant a eity or district of the first class; Chow, one of the second order, and Tsien, of the, third; and formerly a chow contained about 2,54) families; but as towns and cites grow in the process of time, even in China, while the language ts said to be inznutable, these titles do not now express a very exact meaning as to the size of the places. It may assist also to note that keou or kow is mouth or gate; geographically, chan is is- land, and hou or hu, a lake. ‘In the title Ta-Lien-Wan, where the papers tell us the Japanese have just landed a force in the rear of Port Arthur, wan means hazbor, and, just as our word indicates a place of shelter, so this character wan is buili up cf symbols for ‘water’ and ‘to bend,’ denoting a place where the shoce curves around a body of water, making a safe anchorag “New-Chwang, which appears on some maps as Nieou-Tehuang, reported to be cap- tured, means Cowtown; Shanzhaikwan must be intended for Shan-Hai-Kwan, the place where the great wail ends the shore. If it be true that 40,000 Japaaese have land- ed near it, they will be less than 200 miles from Peking. Takuar, where ral Jap- anese warships were reported to have been sighted, on the 10th inszant, musi be a mis- print for ‘Ta-Ku bar, oif the moutt. of the Pei-Ho. If that te trne, there is little wonder at the repov consternation in Peking, for it means that the Chinese fleet is powerless at present. If a Japanese squadron has also > en seen off Ning-Po (Tranquil Waves), about 100 miles south of Shanghai, the vessels are no doubt ready to intercept the southern Chinese men-of-war and coal likely to be brought from Fornic Talk of Dismemberment. “China itself bears several native titles, which have been translated The Celestial Empire and Beneath-the-Heavens, All-be- tween-the-four-Seas and The Middle King- dom; but perhaps among its own hetero- geneous people it is best known as The Bighteen Provinces, which last name, if European jealousy will keep its hands off and let the Japanese halve or quarter the empire, will probably have to be changed, provided also, that no mistakes are made by the plucky Japanese. It is some com- fort that the seat of war has been removed from Corea, for we had the most important place there spelt in four different ways, and other names under guises which ‘no fellow could find out.’ The recent corrected chart issued by the hydrographic office, has, how- ever, filled some blank spots which we have been accustomed to see marked ‘Corea.’ “Our atlases, as has been noted, are im- perfect, and even in China, there is dearth of inforrration about its own geography. More than twenty years ago a party of American naval officers at Tien-Tsin, wish- ing to visit the Kou-pe-kow and Nan-kow passes through the Great Wall (or Ten- thousand-mile-rampatt), also the Ming ‘Tombs and other pofnts of interest, and the only guide being abjsutbly extravagant in his demands, Minister Low persuaded us to go without a guide, nd after roughly trac- ing a manuscript sketch-map of the roads, ete., which was borrowed from the British legation, we succeeded eminently, and the writer had the satisfaction afterward of helping to make a more elaborate copy of the map for the use of our own legation. Military Conditions in Winter. “Your interesting POrrespondent, Mr. Car- penter, has to some extent described travel- ing in the north of China. The country to the northeast of Peking is generally flat, and near the coast. of the two gulfs (Pe- Chili and Lian-Tung) there are salt marsh- es. Over the comparat ly level plain by which the Japanese may approach there are dirt roads passable for carts, though long use has in some places cut them be- low the general surface. In winter the ground is frozen hard, and the streams for several months have a covering of ice thick enough for the easy passage of troops, §0 that it is difficuit to understand what some English journals mean by stating that Tien- Tsin will be safe from attack in a few weeks; the streams could be crossed on foot, and the Chinese gun beats could not ascend the Pei-Ho to help. On the other hand, if the Ta-Ku forts were captured before win- ter, large Japanese men-of-war, even after crossing the bar, would probably not be able to go up the river on account of its excessive crookedness and sharp bends. As to the cold, if winter outfits were forwarded to the Japanese soldiers, it appears as if the latter should not have great trouble. In parts of their own country they have cold amd snow, while in northern Cfina, though ‘the temperature Haecaae falls to about ten degrees, it is a clear, dry cold, and there may not,be a half inch of snow throughout the winter. In any case, we are not likely to wait long now for some de- cisive movements. “Dismemberment has been whispered, and already the eagles, the bear and, of course, the lion are preparing to gather where the carcass is and to claim Slices of ‘rectified frontier,’ outlying islands, etc. If these things happen, Americans should not pass on with a feeling of contempt alone for the huge, rich, populous country which may be despoiled. We, with our defenseless poris and our handfvl of ships, are living in the same fool's paradise. Let us heed this last, grave lesson while there is i +00 AMONG THE aw At Columbian L opened with great vigor and activity on the part of both students and faculty. The reception tendered last week by the faculty to the students was a great success, an tended to greatly increase the mutual ac- quaintance of both. The debating society has organized for work with the following officers: Presi- dent, A. A. Davis; vic? president, John B. Sleman, jr.; secretary, C. M. Lane; treas- urer, W. L. Symons. The executive com- mittee is composed of Frank H. Hitchcock, chairman; L. F. Speer, J. W. Stuart, Alan 0. Clephane, Walter T. Colquitt, A. B. Sei- told, A. D. Albert, jr The following as- signment of subjects and debaters for the next four weeks has been posted: Saturday —"Resolved, That the state judges should be appointed for good behavior instead of for a limited term;” atftirmative, J. W Stuart, Frank Kysrelka; negative, W. Blackford and H. B. Gram. November 10— “Resolved, That the profit-sharing system should be made compulsory;” affirmative, J. E. Dawson, Alfred 8. Dalton; negativ Walter T. Coiquitt and Ellis Lord. Novem- ber Resolved, That the President of the United States should be elected by a direct popular vot affirmative, L. M. Jorden, H. N. Robinson; negative, A. M. Sayre and M. M. McLean. Class politics are becoming interesting even chus early in the term. The presi- dency of the senior class, which is con- sidered one of the highest honors in the gift of the students, is being eagerly sought by several members of the class. The cam- paign managers of the various candidates are very active and the amount of button- has holing which is being done would do credit to the professional lobbyist. The junior class is also in the ferment incident to the formation of a class or- ganization, but will probably never reach that condition unless some way can be de- vised to put a stop to the unlimited flow of eloquence which several of its members are prone to indvlge in on every possible oc- casion. A meeting has already been held,at which Mr. Baker was chosen temporary chairman and Mr. H. C. Spencer tempor- ary secretary. At Georgetown the students and faculty are engaging with renewed vigor in the dis- charge of their several duties. The place upon the faculty left vacant by the resignation of Judge Martin F. Morris has been filled by Judge Brown of the Su- preme Court, who is delivering a course of lectures on admiralty at the present time. The Debating Society will soon organize for its winter’s work.

The senior class presidency has already been conferred upon Mr. J. P. O'Laughlin, The following ‘significant notice has ap- peared on the bulletin board: “To Juniors— As the ‘presidential possibilities’ have al- ready begun to loom up on the horizon, it would be well for one of us to call a meet- ing some evening in the near future. “It would also facilitate matters if the dif- ferent candidates and thelr supporters would have posted a few days before elec- tion specific ticRets showing ‘who wants what.’ Affairs at the National Law Schoo! are in a flourishing condition. The senior cliss has chosen its officers for the ensuing year, and they are as follow: President, Mr. Frazier; vice president, Mr. Hig: secretary, Mr. Gill; treasurer, Mr. McCormick. Moot court work, under the direction of Prof. J. H. Ralston, will be taken up to- morrow. Judge Phillips is now engaged in deliver- ing a course of lectures on corporations and partnerships, which are very largely at- tended by all classes of the school. Howard University Law School, which an- nually sends forth a goodly number of young eclored men well fitted to take their places in the legal profession, has begun its ses- sions also, and within ‘the next few weeks the various class organizations, etc., will be in fuli operation.
