THE question of the abolition of slang
lie up before the select circles of Amerl-
can society. 1t Ia prompted by English
critics, nd in every article en- the sub

planned of than is contained in days

Yet this corruption Of our great Anglo
Saxon dialect il to be deprecated, and,
whilst regretted, can only he eradioated
by conviction Of the people them
selves that IL is extremely silly and vul-
gar. AS TO the British criticism, all
that can be said is that tho London peo-

purity of our tongue than any other in

THE BIG FOUR LIES.

Republican campaign stories have for
10 years past blinded tho northern voter,
aroused his preIudices, worked upon
his fears and bound him willing vic
tim to the chariot wheels of as corrupt
a political Organization as this or any
country has witnessed this century.
Some OF these stories were OF the siiliest
kind and one would think too thin even
TO tell to tho Marines" but they have
evidently done the party great service.
In the campaign Of last fall some of the
choicest OF these lies were repeated with
Increased emphasis, but, forum ately
for the country, less effect than formerly.
Fsur OF them stand out In bold relief

THE Ell Psso Lone Star ssgely and So
riously affirms that one law can hardly
be made TO cover such vast territory
as Texas, as the interests and industries
of east and west Texas are not Identical
In any one particular. This is common
and popular remark in many portions
OF west Texas, but utterly unfounded.
East Texas engages In agriculture and
stock-raising, and wost Texas engages
In stock-raislng and agriculture. There
are few barons in the west who do not
want the interests OF the sections to be.
come identical, and their talk and in-
fiuence mako a wish father to thought
that some sort Of eternal antagonism
exists, naturally, between their portion
OF the world and all others. They need
not fret so. One law IL made to cover
even so vast territory, and the people
at large are not suffering severely from
the fact either.

The OPENING GIN -

dreadiully, real pauoram, can but lasci.
nate, while 1t ezcitos sad memories aud
reviyos bitter regrets aud di5appaint-

still over Sumter aud Charleston, the
union still lives and tho south has its
political representatives in the oxecu-
tive mansion of tho nation.
The lesson is Que that ho who runs can

the psuper and the millionaire. Fraterpal
feeling ills the land, old sores aro healed,
the nation grows Ike young giant and
the promise OF the future is even greater
than before the clouds of war obscuroa

country to-day, after such fiery or.
deal of 20 years ago only, is
more suggestive than volumes OF com
ment as to the strength and bepiguity Of
