"When our republic rose, Noah Web

had never been a great nation with a
universal language without dialects.
The Gorkshireman can not now talk
with man from Cornwall. The peas

his goats home at evening, over hills
that look down on six provinces, none
of whose dialects lie ctn speak. Here,
five thousand miles change not the
sound of word Around every fire
side, and from every tribune, in every
field of labor and every factory of toll,
is heard the same tongue. We owe it
to Noah Webster's Spelling Book and
Dictionaries. He has done for us more
than Alfred did for England, or Cad
mus for Greece His books haye edu-
Gated three generations. They are for
ever multiplying his innumerable army
of thinkers, who will transmit his name
from age to age. Only two men have

ANTHONY NJ. KELLY, of Balti- more, has just returned home un- der the most humiliatlng circum stances. He was first appointed a minister to Italy by President Cleveland, but on accou mt of some utterances of his concerning the Pope of Rome several years ago, which the Italians happened to re- call to mind, that government retus- to receive him. Then the President transferred him to Vienna, but the Austrian government also refused to accept him. Hence he is forced to return home filled with chagrin. The trouble seems to have been that years ago he was in the habit of talking entirely too much both with his mouth and his pen.

 more than two hundred dollars of this fund. Hence, let the election go as it may, he will come out with a margin-a net gain from hisfrieads of four hundred dollars or more. This is bctter-far better-than he could do practicing law in the same length of time. and is unquestiona- bly the secret of his candidacy

Unity of Action is the Strcng th of
 Democracy.

If there ever was d time iii the history of the country when :he Democratic party should be har- monious and united, now is that time. After long years of Radical rule it has at last triumphed so far as to elect Il President and a ma iority in the House of Represents tives. It is giving us to the ex' tent of it's power prudent, safe, honest, economical government. But to completely fulfill it's high mission the Democratic party must go step farther; it must control the Senate, To do this. harmony and united action are necessary all along the line. There should be no laggards, no kickers, no bolters, Harmony, organization and activity should be it's watchwords. There should be no breaks in the line The column in the Third district should array itself without the al sence ofa man next Monday ant vote for the chosen leader, the Hon. T. c. McRae. We occupy the post of honor in having tC make an isolated struggle to hold our position in the line. The eyes of the nation are upon us watching the struggle and tht manner in which we shall bear our selves in the conflict. Next Mon day let our answer be shout o victory that shall make the politi- cal welkin ring through all it arches-that shall proclaim to the world that the Third district holds it's place in the Democratic phalanx and that the Democratic party hal made no step backward in its trl- umphant march to complete pos session of the National govern ment, Then humanity will re ceive stronger impulse towarc prosperity, libety will rejoice il the fresh hopes brought to i:, an' the Constitution of our countr, will feel itself in safe, protectin hands,

Let Them Vote For McRae.

The interest of the negro is iden- tical with that cf the white Demo- crat. Of this he ought to be sure- N convinced. Democratic nat ional ascendency has entailed upon him none of the evils he was made to expect by his cunning partisan leader. Why should he not act then, with his Democratic white friends. instead of those who have deceived and made a tool of him in the pasts Have not the Demo crats acted more fairly with them and proved their better friends? Let those most worthy of it assert their independence ahd vote for McRae for congress, for he will most truely represent our mutual interests there.
 This is good advice whether col ored men follow it or not. In a con- test between McRae and Mitchell the colored citizen ought to stand by McRae. Mitchell Is in favor of the whipping post, high protec' tive tariff by the abolition of inter nal revenue system, and is against the Blair bill and the improvement of our navigable rivers. McRae is opposed to Mitchell on all these questions. As we understand 1t the great masses of the cOlorcd men are in favor of the Blair bill because it will give them chan ce to educate their children that they will never have without it. They do not want the internal revenue taxes removed because that means heavier tax on everything but whiskey and tobacco. Of course the colored people want to see money appropriated to improve rivers and harbors because the objects are good in themselves and becaase such improvements place a large amount of money in circulation.-Arkansas De mocrat

tate to, sacrifice them for the same purpose, if occasion offered!
 i. For the first time in nearly twenty-five years, the national ad- ministration is democratic. That administration is unearthing frauds, purifying the government, and bringing it back to honest and eco- nomical methods, and it should be supported. Therefore. the demo. crats of the Third district should send a man to Congress in sympa- thy with, and who will have the confidence of that administration; and not man like Judge Mitchell, who is at war with the organized democracy. Mir. McRae is the man to elect. He has your confidence, and is in harmony with his party, and the national administration He is never equivOcal, and his f. delity can always be relied On with the utmost confidence.
 The foregoing are among the most important reasons why you should vote for Mir. McRae. Let us then go to the polls, every one of us, on tho day of the election, and rote for him. We should not, by staying at home, leave even a doubt as to the result.

What the Panama Canal May Do,

Dr. Charles Pickney, man of fine learning and observation, opens up studious suggestion. He asked the other day, Have you thougt much of the physical effect of the Panama canal f'
 Not much"
 .sWell, let me. throw out sdg- gestion. The Pacific ocean IS five times as large as the Atlantic. The rota " motion of the earth, ac. ting cn W ater near the equatorial line, of course has tendancy to pile it up. The bulk of the Pacific being so much larger than the At lantic, is lifted twenty. eight feet higher than the Atlantic. For the same reason, that of its bulk, 1t is, about tw enty degrees colder! No " imagine the effect of this enormous body of water twenty eight feet in level and twenty degrees lower Tn temperature, being poured into the Atlantic through the canal.'
 "Why dosen't it seek It's ievei below the capcF" "Becausc inc point of meeting IS so far from tlre equatorial line that centrifugal force is not so great, and the level of the two oceans are tho same. Up about the panama the difference in level is great, and the ilnmense volume of the Pacific will rush down into the Atlantic with terrific force."
 And what of the effectP
 ''That is almost beyond calcula' ton. But suppose this mlngllng o' | two oceans simply changed the gulf stream. That one change would wipe out the cotton and rice industry making Georgia many degrees colder. These are specu Iations; put the cold facts are as stated, and it is interesting to thihk of what will be the effect when this canal is cut, and the high im, men ity oft Pacific IS dropped 10 the level of the Atlantic.
