| best Tendencies of modern thought" do not
carry him up to this sphere of inquiry. Consc-
quently. he adopts what has been put forth as a
revised edition of the old theory that language
was invented, it being, as he saws, the old theory
"only modified to accord with the better knowl-
edge and deeper insight of modern times"
Very naturally, the current scientific methods
which exclude psychology, and can neither ex-
plain nor study mans spiritual faculties, find it
impossible to get beyond this theory, in behalf
of which, if we understand him, whitney at
tacks the views of Steinthal. Speaking of what
Stenthal says Of the circumstances under which
children produce their speech, Professor Whit.
ney slips away from the question and thinks all
is said when he AYERS that children learn or an
propriate thespeech of their parents He would
be forced back TO the question, however, if he
would undertake to explain why the cat or dog,
as well as the child, does not appropriate or
learn the speech of the family to which it be-
longs. In the human nature of the child there
is spontaneous tendency to speak, Science
can not explain it; but it must be recognizes! by
those who would explain the origin or cause of
language,
PHYSICAL science, which has undergone q
great development in our time, has its own
special field of inquiry where its inductons le-
ultimately conducted have the force of authori-
ty; but it has its limitations, also, and any at
tempt to transcend them, logically carried out,
necessarily denies the supernatural, and leads
to atheism by substituting the operation of ply
steal forces for God and the spiritual faculties of
man. Of course, Professor Whitney would not
go on to this conclusion of the materialistic
tendencies of modern thoughts" but he aims
to give them control of the question discussed
in his criticism of Steinthal. Forty years ago,
Tendencies of modern thought were regulated
by the transcendtenal philosophy quite as posi-
lively and extensively as they are now regulated
by the materaiStic influence OF ply steal sci
ence. A few years hence, there win be another
reaction towards some form of spiritual phi
losophy. The history of human speculation is
the history Of a succession of such reactions
between materialism and spiritualsm and so
it will be until we have a system of philosophy
sufficiently great and comprehensive to adjust
their relations, establish harmony between
them, and confne each to its own special field
of operation. Therefore. to talk as if tenden-
cies of modern thought controlled by material
ism should be treated as something superior,
and even supreme, in all speculative inquiry,
indicates lack of mental clearness and indie
pendence.

One of the New York papers, speaking of
Anna Dickinson's speech, says she interpreted
the Cincinnati movement to mean: Don't see
this country given over into the hands of office
holders or office-seekers." She would arrest all
the oticeholders, we suppose, and send them
out of the country, leaving the country TO 90
on hereafter without anybody in office Who
will venture to deny that her craftsmanship is
very brilliant2 AS for the "cfice-seekers, !" they

Dispatches and letters in the New York Tri-
bune and some other papers have represented
that there was a big Cincinnati movement in
Michigan. 1t appears now that they did not
tell the truth. 1t was romance not founded on
fact. The republican papers of Michigan laugh
at these representations, and say that the re-
publican party in that state was never more
united or more hopeful than at present; and
Ex-Governor Blair who was named as q Cincin-
natl convert, denies the charge and says he will
not support the Cincinnati nominations. Is it
really worth while to say what is not true, in
behalf of any movement whatever?

The Origin Of Language.

Professor Whitney publishes in the North
American Review a criticism of Professor Stein

very sure thai no one will find in it a clear state.
ment Of what Steinthal actually thinks and saws
on this topic. We have read the article careful.
ly without being able to find in it a distinct and
clear explanation either Of the German profess
sor's views or Of those held by his critic. There
are quotations from Stenthal which indicate to
those who understand the subject, that he does
not use the method of materialsm, in studying
it, nor believe that it lies wholly within the
scope of that method. Whitney, on the other
hand, follows authorities which conine him to
what he calls ''the current scientific method"
that is to say, the materialistic method which
transforms metaphysics and all speculative phi.
losophy into department of physical science.
Therefore, he coniounds the origin or cause of
language with the development Of language, the
human beings spontaneous tendency to speak
with the history Of his speech. As Steinthal.
not being materialist nor controlled by any
influence of materialism, refuses TO do this.
there is, Of course, difference between them;
and Whitney SCOTS at Steinthal as "metaphys.
ical' investigation, because he will not confipe
himself to the ways Of materalism.
A much more satisfactory statement of Stein.
that's views can be found in Ernest Remains
wo X on the "origin of Language" published
in 1864; and this writer's style of expression,
unlike that Of Professor Whitney, is clear and
attractive. 1t should be said, however, that the
former agrees with the German professor, sub.
stantialy, while the latter reviews him after the
manner Of dogmatic antagonist. Renan is
regarded as very unsound in theology, his Life
of Jesus" being quoted in proof of his unsound.

PendIetOn,s Position.

We copy the following official dispatch
from the st. Louis Republican,:
WASHINGTON, May 29.-A positive decIa-
ration of the position of Hon. George H.
PendletOn has been reported by a member
of the Illinois Democratic delegation, and
it can be stated that he unequivOcally ad-
vOcates the acceptance of Mr., Greeley by
the Democratic convention. Mr.. PendletOn
considers that the Democratic party has
been placed in a position, by tacit adj
heFence to the Cincinnati convention,
whereby all chance OF electing a Demo
cratic ticket has been destroyed. He,
therefore, favOrs the acceptance of Greeley,
and says that between Grant and Greeley
there can be no hesitation as to the duty Of
Democrats. In considering the objections
raised to Greeley as to his record, he argues
that they are ridiculous, and he asks
whether the same objection will apply TO
all Radicals named at Cincinnati.
1t is not the past which Is to be taken into
account, but the future conduct of the can
didate designated to represent the Liberal
movement If an unObiectiOnable record is
desired straight-out Democrat should
have been advocated from the beginning;
but he SAYS, it is not consistent to lndOrse
one Radical and refuse to support another.
The opposition to Greeley is placed, he
saws, in two classes: First, those who are
not sufficiently clear in political sagaclty TO
see that there is no chance for a Democrat,
and second, those who secretly desire the
reelection of Grant. The feeling OF the
times, adds Mr.. PendletOn, should be above
personality, and all should strike to secure
a good and efficient government The letter
from Mr. Pendleton, though not intended
for print, is forcible one.
