1t was proud day for Tennessee
when Senator Harris arose in the
United States Senate and hurled
back with courtly scorn the charge
of the readjuster Malone that all the
Southern States had scaled their
debts, among them Tennessee.
Harris proudly and defantly res
minded the Virginia defaulter that
Tennessee had just settled her debt
dollar for dollar with 8 per cent. in
terest. The pleased Senate listened
and applauded the Tennessee Sena-
tor, and the Democratic Senators
thought how well Harris name
would look occupying the second
place on the Presidential ticket Of
1884. Alas! How are the mighty
fallen Memphis Avalanche.

1RefOrm -

English spelling is, more than that of any
other living language, beautiful history,
as 1t now stands, of the rise and growth of
the language itself. In our apparently awk-
ward assemblages of now silent consonants,
in many of our Theoretically useless double
letters, we recognize the delicate threads by
which we can trace hosts of words back to
their origin; our spelling is in itself, prac-
teal and living treatise on etymology. To
know the meaning of word thoroughly, one
must know its derivation, its past history.
Now, which is the better-a spelling which
can easily be mastered by the veriest block
head, or one which epitomlzes, as it were,
the whole meaning of word,
its history, its subtle affinities with the pa
rent tongues? Our spelling is difficult, you
say; well, what of that? Most good things
are. We no longer pronounce words as
they are spelled? The more shame to u.s.
Here lies the real and most grevious fault
III our language. We spell right enough for
the most part, but we pronounce badly.
The English speaking race has done its ut
most to bedev1I Its own language by slip
shod habits of pronunciation. But, because
our spoken tongue has unworthily drifted
away from its honorable beginnings, shall
our written language follow it, cut loose
from its fellowship with the other great
languages of antiquity and modern times,
and SO throw away the last trace of its pa
ternity? The man who first stopped pro-
noupcing the gil i'll daughter, and began to
sound the same couple of consonants in
laughter as if they We're single +, did
most slovenly, lazy, and utterly contempt
be thing.
1t is wholly incomprehensible, to the pre-
sent writer, at least, how people can point
with admiration at such infantile barbarisms
as the italian .f1Osctfa, Jantasma, and the
like. Such spelling is spelling for ignora-
muses. and commercial travellers; it is writ
ten baby-talk. So far from phonetic SPELL
ing of this sort being reform" it is
down-sliding into the vulgarest and cheapest
mediocrity. A true reform" would be to
reinstate worthily chronological spelling
wherever time and carelessness has obiterat-
ed it. To leave the meaningless subtle and
return to the expressive subtle; to put two
ms into amount SO that its derivation from
0d and mons shall stare readers in the face;
to put two is into literature as
the French do, SO that one may
be absolutely sure that the word does not
come from the past participle of linere, to
besmear. 1t may be said that such etymo-
logical spelling is of advantage only to
cultivated people, who know Latin and
Greek" as the phrase goes Admitted!
But, in Heavens name, who are to govern
language-the educated or the vulgar? Is
a spelling which speaks volumes to the edu-
Gated man, which is surprisingly rich in the
most pregnant associations, to be ousted by
system which tells him nothing whatever,
and the only advantage of which is that
foreigners and stupid pumpkins can learn it
in one year instead of six Is the mountain
to go to Mohammed, or Mohammed to come
to the mountain Boston Transcript.
