A NEW CHANCE FOR PHoNETICs. 1t
is said that the japanese Minister, Mr..
Mort, once seriously proposed to Prof.
Whitney, of Yale College, to construct
new language for Japan. Prof. Whit
ney, who is the most learned scholar in
linguistics in the country, is also known
to be an advocate of the spelling reform.
Mr.. Mori proposed 10 him to form a
compact vocabulary of few thousand
English words, Invested of all absurdi-
ties of photography and Of all synonyms
and superfuities of every sort. This
language. if Prof. Whitney would pre-
pare it, the Ambassador promised him
should be adopted by his government
and forced upon the Japanese people.

DR.. Laudrum Called TO Another
Field of Labor.

The Board Of Trustees of Mercer Uni
versity have, a second time. elected
unanimously Rev. Sylvanus Landrum.
ID. d., as Financial Secretary and Lee
turer on Theology" in the university.
Having only pleasant and successful re-
lations in his pastorate, among old and
warmly attached friends, it IS painful,
he says, to leave, even for place so near
as Macon; but the position IS one of
great importance and of necessity to
the well being of the university
and the rising ministry of the Bap-
fist denomination of Georgia. The uni
versity has an endowment in stocks
and bonds of sos, 900 and real estate
valued at about 100000. The advance
ment Of education demands new de-
partments of instruction in science and
its practical applications, and hence ad-
ditIonal endowment. 1t needs repre-
sentative whose field shall embrace the
whole State, and whose time shall be
given to the interests of higher educa-
ton, and especially as represented in
Mercer University.
The position is regarded as more i'm
portant than any single pastorate. The
duties of the position will require that
DIR. Landrum shall reside at the univer-
sity in Macon, and, of course. he will be
in Savannah only occasionally. We I'M
derstand he has not resigned his church,
but has expressed mis- intention of do
ing so.
His numerous warm friends and well
wishers, including not only the members
Of his own church. but our religious
community of all denominations, will
regret to part with DR.. Landrum, but
they viii be compensated by the reflec-
ton that he has been called to position
where his talents and zeal will have a
more extended field of labor and useful
ness.

The Monroe Doctrine = Report OF
Representative Hill.

Mr.. Hill. of Ohio, to whom was dele
gated the task of preparing report on
the subject of the Monroe doctrine. has
performed that duty, and submitted his
conclusions to the Committee on For
eign Affairs. The report in substance
declares that no European government or
power should be allowed to construct or
exercise control over any canal built
across the isthmus. 1t goes little beyond
the Monroe doctrine, which applied only
to political systems on this continent,
but asserts that IN view of our extensive
sea coast and our vast possessions on the
Pacific, that any change of navigation
of the two great oceans is
question of paramount interest to
the people of ! the United States,
and insists that no foreign power shall
control such interoceanic communities
tion. 1t recognizes the right of New
Grenada to improve her own
territory by any sort of enterprises
in which she may wish to engage.
declares in favor of canal open to the
commerce of the world upon equal terms
under American control. 1t quotes
Monroe's message, Jefferson's letters,
Mr. Canning, who was Secretary OF
Foreign Affairs of Great Britain at the
time of the Monroe message, Lord
Brougham, and others. 1t recites briefly
the doings of the holy alliance which
led to the PRONUNCIATION of the Monroe
message, recites the action of Congress
from 1925 to the present time, quotes
from Wheaton, and President Wolsey,
of Yale College, on international law;
the speeches of Clay, Calhoun, Doug
lass. Webster, Cass, and other eminent
statesmen on the subject. Accompany
ing the report is a series of resolutions
which deny the right of European pow
ers to construct or in any way control
canal across the isthmus of Panama.
1t is easier to make such declaration
than to maintain it against the maritime
powers of the world. The Panama ca
nal is to be neutral and open to all flags
alike. If the United States desires to
share in its control, let her people aban-
don their impracticable rival schemes,
and Join in its construction.

A STRANGE CASE.
Supposed Death and Burial Of a
Young Mantle Cofan Dug Up
and Found 20 Contain Nothing
but Sand.

The village Of Fillmore, in Andrew
county. Missouri, was thrown into
great excitement Thursday upon the
exhuming Of what was supposed to be the
remains of James Riggin, which had
been inferred there few days before,
but, in consequence of the supposed de-
cayed condition Of the remains, the cofiln
was not opened at the time OF burial
Riggin, who was engaged in marriage TO
a young lady of Andrew county, left
suddenly one day for the far West,
but before leaving insured his life in ia
vor of his aged mother. He purchased
a ticket for the Pacific coast and arrived
as far on his Journey as North Platte, on
the Union Pacific Railroad, where he
stepped from the train, entered water
closet, drew revolver and put an end
to his life. His brother-in law arrived
on the scene, and, it is claimed, took
charge of the body, gathered together
the effects of James Riggin, inclosed the
body in a coffin and shipped the effects
and remains via St Joseph to his mother
at Fillmore, where the coffin was
inferred amid the grief of many
sorrowing mourners. Application for
the insurance was made to the company
who had issued the policy. They com.
menced an investigation, which resulted
in the exhuming of the coffin at Fill
more and disclosing the fact that there
was nothing in the coffin but simply sand
collected from Nebraska's fertile soil.
1t is claimed that the remains of James
Riggin were actually placed in the coffin,
but if that is true the detectives claim
they must have been stolen therefrom
while en- route to Fillmore. The case is
a curious one, and shrouded in mystery.
The belief of many here is that Riggin
is not dead at all, and that he has been
practicing deception to get the life In
surance

Shall Cabinet Ofncers Sit In Con-
rresss

Senator Pendleton's bill providing
that the heads of the executive depart
ments, of the government may occupy
seats in Congress has received the near
" unanimous Endorsement and approval
of the select committee to which it was
referred. For year or more past this
committee have been carefully studying
the subject, and the report they have
submitted, recommending the passage
of the measure, is signed by Senators
Pendleton. Voorhees,. Butler, ingalls,,
Blaine, Farley, Plat and Allison-four
Republicans and four Democrats. The
report maintains that Congress has the
constitutional power to pass this bill;
that the head Of department reporting
in person or orally to Congress upon
matters relating to his department be-
comes no more a member of Congress
ethan does the chaplain, or contestant
or his counsel, or a delegate. This is
not a new question, as the committee
show that in 1889 the Secretary of For
eign Affairs, Mr.. Jefferson, attended
lin Congress) agreeably to order, and
made the necessary explanations" that
in the same year the President OF
the United States, attended by Gen
eral Knox, Secretary of War, entered
the Senate while in executive SEES
sion and laid before the Senate q
statement of facts; that upon two other
occasions in 1889 the Secretary OF War
entered the House during its sessions
and delivered certain papers, together
with statements of the troops in SER
vice." etc. The committee state that In
stances of this kind could be indefinitely
multiplied. In European countries the
Ministers have the right to be present 10
each of the chambers, and to be heard
on subjects under discussion and give
information when required. In Great
Britain the members of the Cabinet are
constantly present in the House of Com
mons to answer for the policy and action
of the government. And if we mistake
not the Constitution Of the Confederate
States contained provision very similar
to Mr.. Pendleton's bill.
The report contains an able argument
in support of the measure, which will be
called up this week with fair prospect
of its prompt passage.

A Sons ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Hendricks, an old farmer near Newark,
Ohio, having reached the age of seventy
eight, and becoming very inArm, about
two years since decided to his son one
hundred acres of farm land, the con-
sideration being that he was to have
comfortable food and shelter for the
balance of his life and decent burial at
his death. From all accounts, the son
and his wife began to get tired of the
old man, and not only failed to keep the
agreement, but took steps to have him
removed to the poor house On Sunday

threats of his wife-to the effect that

PEELED his father to leave. The old man,
with bare feet and scantily clothed, set
out, and walked half mile to neigh
boris house, where he was taken in with
his feet frozen and terribly swollen. The
Indignation his conduct aroused among
the neighbors induced the ungrateful
son to take his father home again. Legal
proceedings are to be instituted to set
aside the deed and restore to the father
the property he had acquired by lIfe-
time of toll.

General Garfeld,s obligations.

An Indiana delegation with Ben.
Harrison as spokesman, paid a visit to
President-elect Garfield one day last
week. Mr.. Harrison said they did not
want Mr.. Garfield to think they consid-
cred him under obligations to appoint an
Indiana man to place in the Cabinet.
To this intimation that while some In
dianians might think him obliged to APP
point an Indiana man, although
they did not, Mr. Garfield proceeded
briefly to lecture on obligations, as
follows: 81 am under obligations to my
district for sending me to the State Sen
ate. am under obligations to the peo-
pie of my Congressional district for
sending me to Congress so often. | am
under obligations to the State of Ohio
for electing me to represent them in the
United States Senate, and l am under
obligations to the four million Republi-
can voters of the United States for elect
ing me to the Presidency. have more
obligations than 1 can pay. Gentlemen,
am bankrupt, with more obligations
than assets"
There is one other obligation which
President elect Garfield will assume
when he takes the oath of Office on the
4th of March. He viii then swear, in
effect, that he will support and defend
the Constitution of the United State and
the rights of the States and of the people
composing the American Union-that he
will know no party. no section, and that
he will administer the government with
equal justice and for the promotion of
the peace and prosperity of the whole
American people. If he faithfully full
fills this obligation he viii cancel all the
others.

was visited by severe wind and rain storm
Thursday afternoon, which swept everything
In It's course. Union church was completely
wrecked and the school house al Osrrollton
was scattered over the country in pieces BY
the strong wind, which amounted almost TO
scyclone. Houses were blown down, trees
uprooted and fepoes demolished. An old
man who lived In = tent with his family on
Farmers Branch vas bereft of his tent by
the gale, and the rain poured down on him
and his family numerically. He was very
sick with typhoid fever. A Mr.. Marcus
Bedwell, who was caught out In the storm.
and his wagon were blown considerable dis.
lance, and though the vehicle was badly
used up, he escaped unhurt Considerable
dsmsge was done to corn and cotton. A
hard rain fell. and II was the worst storm
that ever visited that section.
