LACK or ENGLISH SMALL PHRASES.
Our Language Well Supplied With Ships
But in Need or Light Craft.

The fact il, the English language IL well
supplied with armored ships. 1t lacks light
cruisers. The very smallest effort Of recol-
lection will convince us at once OF the poverty
of the language. Where is the English
equivalent of any of the following terms and
expressions: Nom dc plume, ventre torre,
noblesse obligc, sang froid, rachauffe re-
venons nor moutons, raison detrc, and a
hundred others' Where, again is the Sue
cinct English, or any English at all, for tn
quoque, sine qua non, variorumi
Looking again, in another direction, we
can scarcely expect TO find an English syn
onym for such an un1English condition OF
existence as dolce far niente. Fancy substi-
tuting for tete-a-tete "a conversation limited
TO two personal---very. English, no doubt, but
also, and perhaps, tride heavy and some

tionary explanation "inert property OF mat
ter" which might possibly convey something
to educated mindsl We question whether
either would be understood by the common
peone, and tho former certainly has the adj
vantage in point Of breyity.
The English language is studded with
idioms. expressions and figures Of speech con-
fessedly borrowed from our neighbors, an
Gent and modern, TO supply vacant spaces in
our own tongue. Some Of them, like e. g.,
ct cetera, vice versa and the like, are univer-
sally recognized Many arc in process of alb
sorption. The rest are standing, like coy
maidens, on the threshold, awaiting general
recognition. If there is a real hiatus, the
next generation OF dictionaries will take them

can find a designation for the corresponding

our "homcly" tongue for person who goes

of English can not be regarded as final, or all
importations ruthlcssly condemned. London

THE SENSATIONAL MISTAKE.

Mr.. George is the prominent figure in
the country, and therefore our readers
will understand why we explain his views
in order to show the nonsense Of his
school Of destruction, for it is nothing
more nor less. 1.-THE George movement
means the beginning Of the end Of indus
trial slavery"
Beautiful
But the fact is, that George proposes to
pull out the foundation stones Of our
fabric of free Republican institutions
which the aggregated genius Of the Anglo
Saxon race has been building with for
centuries.
The English Constitution erected the
first great barrier against despotism in
the form Of a free representative mon
archy.
The genius of Jefferson, the sword of
Washington, and, greater than both, the
wise craftsmanship Of Washington, crys-
talized the revolutionary elements into a
sound conservative form of free gov
eminent, where there are no class
distinctions, no aristocracy, and where
any laboring man may become a cOun-
Gilman, magistrate, a Congressman, a
Cabinet officer a President The illus
trations Of it are so frequent that it is
comical how the principle upon which
men achieve such results can be ignored

tured sensation.

Vice on the French Stage.

The French are exceedingly sensitive 20 the
Impeachment of their morals. They say,
you take no note of the virtue which
abounds in the home-you only see the
wicledness Of Paris, and judge US 10y it."
Yet we are being constantly assured that
Paris is France Now, as a matter of fact,
Paris is not a wickeder city than London or
New York. But its moral atmosphere is
more corruptmg. Here vice dresses herself
prettIly and tastefully and appears aJ every
turning with a smile and nod for all She
is not an outcast. II society has lot an actual
leaning toward her, it tolerates her presence
and gives her a civil recognition.
On the stage, which is supposed TO hold the
mirror up TO nature, and TO fairly represent
the people, she is a very empress Tho drama
fists never weary Of taking her by the hand
and leading her before the curtains and say
ing 10 the audience: Ladies and gentlemen,
this is vice; but she is 50 beautiful, she is SO
Unfortunate Weep for her, pray for her"
and so, night after night, year i'm and year
out, generation upon generation Of French
boys and girls, to say nothing Of their elders,
are educated in the knowledge and The art Of
every manner of intrigue, and made % be
heye that there is no duty in man and no
virtue in woman which an ardent desire or a
romantic situation may not successfully
assail. Paris Cor Courier-Journa'

Hon. John W. Daniel, our junior
Senator. is senior to all others in de
votion to his State and now, as always
since his youthful yalor signalized his
character in the war, he is in the front,
where ambition claims the honorduetoun-
tagging patriotism. When we hearevery

in the Southwest, we know that the
Southwest will muster all its strength
in the coming battle.

Fiction and Crime.

A very grave thing is the sanguinary tone
Of so mach French story writing. There IS
an obvious love of describing brutality for
IFS own sake and laboriously inyenting the
details Of hidcous murders Along with this
criminal fiction there IS development Of
crime which is almost unparalleled, and 1t IS
impossible not TO see connection between
the two Some time ago it was calculated
that in one month murders had been COM
mitted, or at least attempted, at the rate OF
rather more than one a day. Since then the
record has been well kept up. One aSsassina-
ton follows another, and they are adorned
with degree Of art which seems to indicate
the existence in the mind of the murderer Of
a certain feeling of emulation. Whenever a
ruflian makes his mind up now TO kill his
mistress he seems TO cast about for the most
striking and public way of doing it, as if he
wished 10 see whether he or the author Of
TIE last tale of horror had the livelier mag

= Race Around the World.

The Rev. James l.. Hill, of lynn, sent from
that city in the same mail two postal cards so
stamped as to go in opposite directions ON a
race around the world. One was sent via
San Francisco to Japan and back by Brindi5i
and Liverpool, and the other crossed first to
England and so around home by Japan and
San Francisco Both travellers returned from
TER long journey well worn and well
stamped. As the postofIice authorities have
prohibited the old time method of getting
these curiosities it was necessary to arrange
20 have the cards restauped and redirected
by a friend interested in the project at Kobe,
Japan The card that went around the earth
from west to east made the circuit eight days
quicker than the other and was e:ghty-tye
days on the way. If the authorities had
bought elephants and hired special trains,
Ike the hero of Jules Verne's story, the postal
card might have saved five days and gone
aaround the world in eighty days. Boston

The Statue of Liberty will be saluted
with five hundred guns as the veil is
dropped Then President Cleveland Will
formally accept the statue on behalf OF
the American people. William NJ. Eyarts
will make the address of presentation,
and an Grafton will also be delivered by
Mr. Chauncey VI. Depew After the
ceremonies the guests will return to the
city, and at : o'clock the illumination and
pyrotechnic display will begin. AT the
same hour the guests at the Chamber OF
Commerce banquet will assemble. Ar
rangements for lighting the statue With
electricity are now complete, and the
wires have been placed in position. From
two corners on the ramparts on the
harbor side the light will be thrown on
the front of the statue.

The regular Democrats achieved
signal victory in the municipal election
in Baltimore yesterday. Every ward was

who has posed in the present Congress as
an Independent, and who is seeking re-
election as such, the regulars have a

The Tory conference adopted resolu-
tions that the Government ought to
guard British interests against the ag
gressions of Russia in the East and TO
prevent the Gar from taking possession
of Constantinople. Thepoint is that the
Sultan has advised Bulgaria to yield to
the Cars demands, and has instructed
his representatives to cooperate with the
Russian commander in Bulgaria. The
place that the Gar threatens to take just
now is Sofia and as it is the first step to
cross the Balkan mountains it is curious
that the conference did not mention it.

The genius Of the great pictorial sa-
tirist never fails to portray popular idea
in its exact lineaments, and it is an in
estimably valuable institution that so
invariably shows the fallacy Of sensation
al fraud and humbug.
The current number of Puck gives us a
picture Of The Statue of Liberty towering
in lofty dignity, and with an inspired
look on the face that surmounts a
colossal figure full Of the expression Of
the genius Of our free country. The
calm countenance of the goddess
shows utter Indifference to. the vain
attempts of ten thousand Lilliputian Com
munists, Socialists, and boycotters who
are climbing up her majestic robes and
trying to enyelop her in net of threads
that strain the limbs of the Lilliputians
into frenzy without producing the slight
est effect
1t is a happy illustration at this time,
when every thoughtful citizen has been
bordering on the safety Of our institu-
tons and wondering if it were possible
to manufacture a dynamite revolution out
of the fantastic creations of brains like
Mr. Powderly's Lilliputian intellect.

We devoutly hope that if there is an
element Of folly growing in any set Of

That is MahOneism.

resolute effort is to be made by the
leaders of his movement to compel all
union workingmen to vote for him for

polls in groups under the direction of
high officers of their unions, and after
they have had George ballots put into
their hands they will be closely watched
until they have deposited them in the

Mr. George has also himself threatened
workingmen with a social boycott, and
probably with some sort of union dis

him.
