PROPOSED LANGUAGE REFORM.

To the Edftor Of The Tribune.
SIR: Those who are capable of taking en-
larged views OF the sgns Of the Tmes and tho tenden
ces OF national developments will not doubt that Anglo
Saxon and especially American ideas, destined to
play most important part in the future civilization and
progress OF the whole world As language is the
vehicle Of our ideas II IT, OF important that its
universal cultivation should be facilitated as much as
possible and that all ts remaining barbarsms and ir-
regularites in photography and pronunciation, which
render its acquisition difficult not only 10 foreigners, but
70 our own children, should be supplanted by the
adoption OF regular and universally acceptable standards
The principal changes which think can all readily
agree upon arc the omission OF certain useless letters
from certain words and the establishment OF certain
marks and accents indicate precisely tho different
sounds OF the a, e. o. and a. the dphthongs aud on
the Ough &c. The French language by s acute, grave
and crcumhex accents, effectuay snrmOunts this dim
Guilty and conceive OF no reason why similar sys

adopted for tongue. For the purpose OF HXng
standard that will meet all requirements IN tho case

the press both countries b. invited 10 make suggestions
10 the work that should De done. The changes that
need be made general simple and obvious the

Importance which scarcely be estimated. To

THE AYTLUsuRY SOCIETY.
diior Of The Tribune.

TO the EditOr or The tribune.
SIR As a member of the Anti Usury Society,
permit first return thanks FOR your leader viud
eating the laws Of the State In that particular DISC
bedience 20 all law is the main charge brought against
that turbulent giant money" by the reformers with
whom am connected. and, consequently, We wish you
every In the encounter. Both tho late and also
the present Secretary OF the Treasury have endeavOred
10 obtain the abrOgaton Of the various Usury laws OF
the States They claim that Money Is commodity,
and such It's gains should not be cirCnmecrbed; but
like house farm its rghtfully Though not
legally has the 10 loan u at at any price he
get Tor its use This seems Just position, and Is in
dosed by us, AntUsury Reformers But we also claim.
In addition, that, while the laws should not curb
the power money the edcs should also be Withdrawn
which enforce and extend ts power. Furthermore, we
believe such edcts 20 be In many cases unconstitutional
issued by corporations individuals uncOnsttu
Ona but assert that State edcts flor they not aws
which sanction and enforce the payment OF the same are
condemned In that clause OF the Constitution which for
init me also TO say that can ind In the Constitution
authority granting 10 Congress the right 10 make
OF us Issues either gold, silver or paper tender In pay
ment for debts and We hold that such
power Is wisely withheld from the National
Government. The money powers OF Con.
gress are 10 coin money and regulate It's value
10 the States found In the clause, State shall issue
Bills OF Credit or make anything save gold aud silver
tender In payment for debts" This 10 Is claimed, gives
power TO the States separately 70 make the precious met
ais tenders In for debts, used In California
In conclusion would add that do propose In any
TO limit private money transactions but willing
TO leave To money lenders unlimited power 10 adjust
terms with borrowers. All seek Is 10 withdraw the
toned believing money 10 be, as defined by Aristotle,
medium OF exchange for labor and only as a direct
change for labor justly recognizable In our courts OF
law. Il. W. HUME.

SIR: Just west of Nebraska is a Territory
through which the Union Pacific Railroad runs. IL Is

massacre by Indians, be continued Two names wash

official notice has been taken Of the But justice
and fair play demand that there should be "honor 10

place. All the work, both OF designing, modelling and
executing performed by Mystic men. She built
for Mr. Bradford OF New-YOrk and first named LHirOn

brought her back here to Hoank, where her bow

this the question IA OF almost international

York. that is than fair that Mystic should pro-
test and respectfully solicit that Justice be- done its ship

this request should be first made 10 The Netc- York
