SPELLING REFORM.

To THE EDITOR: see that you often omit the
"ue" and me" in catalog, program and
similar words, thus making them purer and prop
erer as well as shorter wish you would also give
pure English in all doer- by writing alder,
abetter vister, etc, and utterly ceasing to write
the hybrid and hafLatin forms, aidor, etc.; and
also by using the good old English lie" instead
of the French "ise" 2" in all such make-verbs as
civilize, Chrstianize criticize, etc. If we change
81" to IS" "a la French) in civilize we must then
use - 81 in all its derivatives, in evising, civil
isation. And this bad change is now spreading.
Don't help it. Editors and printers both make and
unmake (or mari our language. And every word
turned from pure English form into that of some
other language both corrupts and difficulties our
own. 1t is misfortune to the language and q
damage to all who try to learn it.-M NJ. CAMP
BELL, North Topeka, Kan.
If our correspondent will watch the columns
of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE closely he will
see that we always prefer "z" to as" in the
class of words he speaks of when such use is
permitted by either Worcester or Webster. We
would like to follow analogy by spelling all
the doer-nouns as he suggests, but the public
mind is not ready for it. The fatal thing in
all attempts at Spelling Reform in the past is
that too much has been attempted. There is
nothing that the mass of people resent so much
as any attempt to make them think. After
they have learned one way of doing a thing
they hate mortally to learn another. They
have learned partially how to spell in the
present clumsy way-no man ever really
learns how to spell the English language-and
they are resolutely and strongly opposed to
learning a new way. The only way that a
Spelling Reform can be brought out is by
making one change after another slowly and
gradually until the thing is done. The leaving
off the useless sue" from such words as cata-
log, demagog, and the "me" from program
is being adopted by more papers in the country
each month, and soon the old-fashioned way of
spelling those words viii look as clumsy and
ridiculous as spelling "publick," favour"
wagon" etc.
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE will do all that it
can to help the cause along.

RELIEF AT HAND.

The hardships under which pension appli-
lie sentiment is being aroused. and a reforma-
tion is demanded not by soldiers alone, but by
the people of all classes.
Agitation by The NATIONAL TRIBUNE has
done very much to awaken the public con-
science on this matter. Other papers friendly
to the soldiers have aided very greatly. The
the GAR. has been weighty enforcement
And added to all these influences has been the
actual illustration in every community of the
cruelties inflicted by the administration of the
Pension Bureau. In every poor-house in the
North are decrepit soldiers who should not be
if their just dues were not withheld by red-tape
whose support is burden to their friends and
comrades, because of the intcrminable delays
of the Pension Bureau.
Few weeks pass anywhere without the local
papers announcing the death of some well-de-
serving soldier, after years of suffering from
disabilities resulting from his service, whose
pension has been withheld from year to year
on frivolOusly technical grounds, and he been
compelled to pass his last days in privation and
misery, while the money appropriated to his
relief was laying idle in the Treasury.
There are so many of these cases. They are
so well distributed through the country, they
occur so continually, and the injustice and
cruelty in them is so apparent that it would be
strange, indeed, if they did not stir the public
conscience to its profoundest depths.
The result of this is pressure arising from
all quarters that no man or set of men, no matter
what their position, can afford to disregard.
The country is getting into the mood to insist
upon justice being done without delay and we
can rest assured that this result will be brought
about.

small dealers means nothing whatever as an
index of the state of trade
The crops are abundant everywhere, and
though prices are not what farmers think they
should be, yet the very plenitude of food COM
pels prosperity, whatever the other conditions
may be. And it is only wheat that is low.
which is because the wheat crop has been un-
usually good all over the world. Corn, oats,
tion than wheat, because they have not done
so well in other parts Of the world as in this.
All this vast bulk of cereals will have to be
sold, and the proceeds will be hundreds of
millions of dollars taken out of the boards in
the East and put in the pockets of the farmers
of the West. The grain Will have to be carried
revenue to the railroads and their employees.
If the food is cheap its benefits will be felt in
enabling our artisans to live more comfortably
on their present wages, and the farmers will
get return in cheaper goods.
But what will make the revival of business
most evident are the empty shelves of the
country stores. As is customary during these
periods of depression, retailers everywhere
have bought very sparingly; jobbers have sold
to them very guardedly, and insisted on pay
ment of old obligations. The result has been
general working off of all goods on hand-even
at considerable sacrifices. This process is also
at an end. The shelves of the stores every
where are very bare. The goods which must
be bought to refill them will start the wheels
of business everywhere to humming, and it
requires no prophet or the son of a prophet to
predict with entire certainty of its being real
lied that the week after the Presidential
election will see business activity wake up
like leaves and flowers bursting out after a
warm rain in Spring.

THURSDAY

simply be extending the present system OF
hour zones of time, which has been found so
convenient in this country, to the whole day.
The next important step is the adoption Of
the resolution by the delegate of France, Prof.
Johnson, on the decimal system, which is as
follows:
Ihat this conference express the hope that the
technical studies to regulate and extend the appl-
cation of the decimal system to the divisions of the
circle and OF time shall be resumed so as to permit
the extension of this application to all where
1t presents real advantages.
The decimal system is already legal in this
country, and weights and measures by its
standard have the same authority that the Or
dinary system has. The proposition to extend
the decimal system to the divisions of the cir
Gle is momentous departure. Though the
whole world agrees to the division of the circle
into $50 degrees and those degrees into 60
minutes and the minutes into 6Oseconds and the
seconds into 60 thirds each, the arrangement is
purely arbitrary and has no scientific reason
whatever to sustain it. If the decimal system
is so much preferable to other computations it
is certainly equally in to this, but its adoption
would make sweeping revolution. Not only
are longitude and latitude computed by this
scheme, but also architecture and millions of
forms of mechanical devices and constructions
are planned on this basis.

A GREAT uproar was raised in England one
day last week on learing that passenger on
the American line steamer Lord Give had been
arrested with large amount of dynamite on
his person. But the sensation fell very flat
when an Investigation proved that the dyna-
mite fend was not an Irishman thirsting for
British gore, but Hungarian miner returning
to his native country, and carrying only about
a pound and a half of this explosive. People,
however, who go down to the sea in ships"
are to be congratulated on the capture, for
passenger with pound and half of dyna-
mite in his baggage is not an agreeable COM
panion in the narrow confines of vessel.
In reply to A Catholic Comrade," who
writes in regard to "The Story of Flag
which appeared in a recent number of THE

assumes, but the Church of England people, or
the Black Prelacy, as it was called. Conse-
quently the comrades structures on the article
are not well taken.

IN their defense of Rudger Clawson, son of
Bishop Clawson, now on trial in Salt Lake CITY
for polygamy, is made the basis of defense in
all cases, conviction will be practically i'm
possible. All witnesses deny any knowledge
whatever of the alleged second marriage, and
the dignitaries of the Church either don't, or
pretend not to, know anything about the mar
riage records. President Cannon testified that
to be married on slip of paper, in order to
refresh his memory, but after the services were
over he burned the slip, and never told the

THE PRIME MERIDIAN CONFERENCE

The IlklME MEhiD1hN CcNfEaENCE.
The International Meridian Conference still
| continues in session, its determination of
putation of longitude not having completed its
work. After considerable discussion it adopted
| last Monday the following resolution:
That this universal day is to be mean solar day,
is to begin for all the world at the moment of mean
midnight of the initial meridian coincdng with
the beginning of the civil day and date of that
ridian and is be counted from up "a hours.
That the Conference expresses the hope that as
soon may be practical the astronomical and
nautical days will be arranged everywhere to be-
gin at mean midnight.
The main Importance this has to the public
at large is that it begins movement for SUBJ
stituting hours numbered from 1 to "a for
the present inconvenient way of dividing them
into two parts of 12 hours each. There is
really no sense in making the divisions a. M
and p. m. which was made in the first instance
by clockmakers, who felt that they could not
give sufficient distinctpess to SO many as "a
hours upon their dial, so they resorted to the
eXpedient of dividing the day into halves
Any one who will think for moment will see
how much extra labor is devolved ON time
tables by having to add the letters a. M and p.
m. to the hour and tho constant liability to
mistake. No one ever reads tho timetable of
long railroad with any feeling of certainty
that he is getting the correct time of the ar
rival and departure Of the trains at any given
point. Some of the railroads have so far recog-
nzed this trouble as to make the statement Of
time on their schedules run consecutiyeIy from
1 to "a, and we hope that this movement
will become general. The action of the Prime
Meridian Conference will probably do much
towards bringing about this result.
The universal day, which will begin when it
is midnight at Greenwich, will be very con-
venient for historical and judicial purposes, and
possibly for the ordinary affairs Of life twill

BE OF GOOD CHEER.

From the number of real live working
friends of the soldiers who have been so far
elected to Congress, or who now appear pretty
certain to be elected, the outlook is cheering
indeed.
Soldiers have made and are making them
selves felt in every Congressional District
north of the Ohio and the Potomac They
have seen the necessity of doing so, in order
to secure justice for those for whom Justice is
the Nations sacred duty. As the soldiers in
every community are its strongest and most
influential men, when they unite to secure
results in political way those results are
pretty sure to follow.
No politician dares disregard the wishes of
soldiers, when there is an appearance of unity
in the expression of those wishes. There is
simply no legislation that the soldiers cannot
have if they will unite in asking for it. We
say no legislation advisedly, for they are too
good citizens and too sensible men to unite in
asking for anything that is not entirely just
and well-deserved.
For the first time since the war they are act
ing in some sort of unison in saying what they
think is just treatment by the Government,
and as a result men are nominated with refer
ence to their aecptability to the soldier ele-
ment, and those who are elected are either real
true friends of the soldiers or else see the great
political necessity of acting as though they
were.
Substantial fruits of this will be reaped in
the coming sessions of Congress.
