tinues droopy and downward. Wheat,

bushel during the past three days.
Pork is zoo per Dbl cheaper than on
Saturday last; bacon and dry salt

lard has declined zoo per cwt within
the past ten days; cornmeal is weak:
hay likewise, while coffee, sugar and

general downward tendency renders
the business situation anything but
satisfactory at the present time. Trade
in bagging and ties continues active

Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1882-10-21
SCHOOL BOOK QUESTION.

A sensible act of the San
Francisco Republicans was the
adoption of a resolution declar-
ing in favor of the State print
ing its own school books and
supplying them to the people at
actual cost, and pledging its
nominees for the Legislature to
use every legitimate means to
secure the passage Of a law to
that effect. Each candidate
was pledged upon his honor to
carry out this excellent plank.
Such a course would be Of great
value to this State. There is no
reason why Nevada money
should not be used here to give
employment to printers instead
Of sending it to the Eastern
school book rings. Every per-
son who sends children to school
is interested in this move ment,
and the APPEAL proposes to
agitate the question between
now and the meeting of the
Legislature. The cost of the
school books which are sent here
each year from the East is enor-
nous, and a direct tax on the
people. The books are changed
frequently, and the publishers
reap a big harvest. All this
money can be expended right
here to advantage.
Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1882-10-21
SPELLING BY SOUND.

The APPEAL has received a
hook issued by the Spelling Re-
form Association and written by
Professor A. f. Vale. The
book is published under the new
dispensation, and all superfluous
letters and letters which are not
sounded in pronunciation are
discarded. No person can read
the arguments set forth in the
book without realizing the fact
that no greater absurdity under
the sun exists than the modern
spelling and pronouncing die
tionary. In Webster's diction-
airy each word is spelled in the
modern way and then in brack-
cts the word is spelled exactly
as it is pronounced. For in
stance: Suppose (supoze.) Now
why in the name of common
sense is not the word spelled in
the first place s-p-o-z-e and have
done with it? Is anything
gained by spelling it the arbi-
trary way and then spelling it
another way that people may
understand what to call it ?
The old English way of spelling
in vogue in Shakespeare's time
is now a thing of the past, and
the time is not over fifty years
distant when all the unnecessary
letters in English words will be
discarded, and anyone who can
understand the simple relations
between letters and their sounds
will be a good speller. Why do
people spell glass with q double
as" and not allow gas the privi-
lege of sporting an extra letter ?
BY the omission of the silent
letters six per cent. of the cost
of publishing books would be
saved. Suppose that $40, oOO,-
600 is the annual cost Of the
product of the printing press,
the saving would be $4,2o0,0oo.

Since the big success of an
Eastern preacher in "Hamlet"
there has been considerable I'M
easiness in theological circles.
He was offered $500 a week to
star, and Carson people are
keeping a close watch on their
divines to see that they don't
slip off and begin to swing the
sickle in the new harvests. An
offer of $500 week to play
"Hamlet" would catch almost
any theologian in Nevada.
