On the Use of English.

Lcrd COleridge, speaking recenl! America, said that every edu,-. speaker of English uses at least g. different languages. When he ta-a' uses colloquill English; when be T- Ee uses literary English; ani whsL reads the Bible he uses Gn anti4ua' form of English. which, from li- i- ton to modern culture, may aluos, called sacred language. So within the one language there are at lea-i i- langua5gs blending with and o5s' ping eacn other, yet each lndepels of the other, having its own t1rre own vocabulary. and it's own r7~ use.

A gentleman writing from Arizoha IO a friend in thls city says there Is some of the finest stock ranges in that eoun- ba ever saw. but tbey are rather 'seat- fering" In other words, Q small part of tbe territory is a splendid COW country, while the major part IS to iliI m to talk about. This Is in harmony WiIn the generally accepted idea of thaI country. But, as stated in the Journai a few weeks ago, there IS large share or that country that is now worthless TOT grazing purposes that soon will be made available by the creation of water rom tanks or wells. There Is big outcome to that region.-Cheyenne Stock Jour nal

TEE Jackson, AIich.) Patriot reads the Senators of that State a severe les son for having voted against the pro- posed Mexican treaty. It argues that an excellent market for our surplus could have been opened up in Mexico. There is no doubt but the Senate made Q mistake in refusing to ratify the Mexi- can treaty. Mexico may in time, con- pete with the UniteI States, in the production of sugar, tobacco and cotton to some extent, but it will not be when citizens of thls country go over there and produce it. As tae matter now a-l- .r-l -. .-1s every uNe pounds of crude sugar they sell to us.

With the arrival of Mrs. McEl-uy at the White House" writes a Washington correspondent of the Boston Transcript. the circle of ladies most prominently identified with the winters soclal lie in nigh official circles is complete. Not one bears her part more unos- tentatiously than does thls good-Iooking little Albany lady, on the sunny side of forty, who loves home and children so absorblngly that it is as much a trial as privilege for her to leave them even to come and stand at her brothers side in great national pageants."

THE Dallas Herald says: "General Crook is the last man upon whom Springer's basilisk eye has been fastened, and it is not improbable that the Apache campaign of last summer will be fought over agam in a committee room" In the opinion of the CITIZEN there IS no ques- tion that Springer could inquire into, that needs it worse, nor one from which better results would follow, if faIrly investigated, and truthfully reported upOn.

It Is encouraging to know that the company Is at last wiling 10 recognize the fact that there is some thing m Arizona worth inquIring about Upon them this valley must intimately depend for railroad facilities. It mat ters little who builds a road to us, the Southern Pacific people Blll. directly or indirectly, control our commerce. with the outside world. And 1t is probably as well in their hands as in the hands of any great railroad company. The prac- tlces of that company of which the peo- pie frequently complain are but the practices of every great railroad com pany all over the United States. Their rates are good round ones, to be sure. but so long as there is no diserimina- tlon against our valley, and in favor of some other section of country. We need not complain, and we believe that when the railroad company Is sufficiently in- terested in our valley to build road to us 1t will be sufficiently interested ID us to give us A chance with other sections of cOUntry.-Phenix Herald.
