McDonald for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

Special to Louisville Courier-J Journal.
1t is generally believed here in official circles
that. during the summer, Attorney general Gar
lard will resign, and that he will be succeeded
by ex Senator Mcdonald, of Indiana. The latter
has frequently been mentioned of late in connec-
ton with the Treasury portfolio, but the best
guessers designate Hon. w. l.. Scott, of Penn
sylvania for that important position. 1t is
known that, while nearly all of the
counties in Mr. SCOTS district have in
strncted for his denomination. still he has
not made up his mind to accept He told your
correspondent few days since that he was try
ing to get some good and true Democrat who
believed in tariff reform to make the race. he
gave as an excuse that he was not fond of con-
gressional life. Mr. Scott asserts that the man
nominated in his district by the Democrats will
be elected. Everybody is willing for Senator
Mcdonald to take charge of the Department of
Justice, with the understanding that he is to be
appointed to the first vacancy on the Supreme
bench He is not too DID, and his appointment
would be an honor to the bench and an honor to
the administration.

what to Do with Liquor Taxes.
philadelphia Record.


The proposition to devote the income from
certain specific taxes to certain specific objects
has much to recommend it. 1t could as well be
carried into the methods of State and municipal
affairs to the payment of specific items of fed
eral expenditure. For instance a proper tax on
licenses paid into the city treasuryas the license
tax should be, would yield yearly revenue Of
one million or one and half million dollars.
Suppose this new source of income should DO APP
piled for a term of years to the improvement Of
the streets of the city. What change could be
wrought by a tax which. in so far as it is bur-
den and restraint upon the business on which
it is laid is also benefit and blessing. If the
tipplers who pour beer and spirits down their
throats could, unconsciously and undesignediy.
by the same act paw for repaving the streets
with asphalt and Belgian blocks it would make
even stalwart Prohibitonists hesitate to stop a
habit which brought in its train so much incl
dental comfort for others.

THE MAsroDoN OF BOOKS.
The Great English Dictionary in Prepare

New York Mail and Express.
Just outside of London they are at work on
the biggest book the world said New York
publisher yesterday, who has recently returned
from trip to England. st will be more than
four times as large Webster's Dictionary, and
will contain something like eight thousand
pages 1t is to be the ideal dictionary
of the English language. and will su-
persede all pre-existng authorities. 1t
has long been realized by scholars that the
English language is deficient in this respect
The French have two dictionaries that of NJ
Litre and of the Academy, that are far superior
to our own. The Worterbuch, of the German
brothers. Grimms. is still more exhaustive and
authoritative Even the Portuguese dictionary
by Viera, decidedly surpasses anything in En-
glish But the British Pathological Society pro-
poses to ill this yawning gap in our reference
books. They hold that a dictionary should be
an inventory of the language, and that its doors
should be opened to all the words-good, bid
and Indifferent. This work will not be cen
fined TO definitions and cross references TIE
life history of each word will be given, with
quotation from some standard writer, show
ing it's shades of meaning, and the vari-
atious in its usage from one generation to
another. The work was originally started in
1869. but the death Of editors financial embar-
easements and changes in the plans have inter
rupted its progress. 1t is now hoped that the
book may be pushed to its completion without
unnecessary delay. The amount of research and
reading yet to be accomplished is very great,
and there on hand some 3 100000 or 4 900. 900
slips which require patient classification. The
next century will probably open before the die
tionary can be placed in complete form upon the
library shelves But the advance sheets, de-
voted TO the first letters of the alphabet, which
have already been issued have met with the
most favorable comment from scholars. and
give promise that the English language is to
have at least photography worthy of its ltera-
ture.p
