DETROIT. May 81. Six prisoners
escaped from the Jail in this city yester-
day noon. Among them were Johnson,
who attempted to assassinate Allen Pink
erton, aud William Dayton, convicted of
murder. The lock of the inner door had
been taken off for repairs, leaving the
prisoners confined by the outer door
only, and the Jail for an hour was left in
charge of boy seventeen years of age,
during whose absence in the basement
the door was unlocked by false key,
and the prisoners walked out and pro-
ceeded to Canada. A reward is offered
of $500 for the return Of johnson and
500 for each of the others.

To the Editors Of the Pittsburg Evening Post
Your journal contains, now and then,
philologic or linguistic discussion.
Permit me to offer You the following: Z
One of the many loose expressions
which have become current within the
last fifteen or twenty years is United
States Senator, for Senator of the United
States. Even the note paper for the SER
vices of the Senators bears the printed
heading, United States Senate Chamber.
This is wholly wrong and ought to be
changed. The official title is Senate Of
the United States, Senator of the United
States, corresponding in point of gram
matte weight to Peer Of England. No one
says royal peer. When United States 10
placed before the noun it has an adjective
sense and corresponds to the English
royal-royal artillery, United States ar
tilIery royal mail, United States mail.
United States, in an adjective sense,
means in the service of the government
or created by the government. Would it
not be very odd to call General Grant
United States President2 Yet it is not
odder than United States Senator. II is
lowering the meaning. A Marshal of
France" under the old Beurbons, or
3" Marshal of the Empire" under Napo-
leon, would have felt himself lowered,
and every Frenchman would have felt
with him, had his proud title been
changed Into royal or imperial marshal
Our country has unfortunately no
name. II ii had, our Senators would be
called Senators Of such and such couR-
try. You will well remember the time
when the American newspapers had .

think this lasted until 1920 or so. But
you know this much better. In SINH
lar way our Senators might have been
called Senators of America; but Amer |
ica-originally always used for our
country, along with continental-"Amer-
lean liberties" American debt"
American troops" American nation"
was not sufficiently specifying. As tits,
let us at least hold on to Senator of the
United States" United States standing
this case for the country, and not con-
inue the " United States Senator"
which is slip shod, incorrect in point of
unwarranted by law and un-
