IMPORTED SLANG.
The Most Odi0us ContOrtion of Language
Known to Mankind.

The Most do Contortion of Language
Known to Mankind.
Slang is not a desirable addition to
any language, but we never heard of
any language without it. Elegant and
magnificent Paris possesses probably
the largest slang vocabulary in the
world. The slang Of the Partisan
thieves, loafers and street Arabs was
carefully studied by Victor Hugo, who
not only employed it in the speech Of
some of the characterised his greatest
novel but devoted many pages to a
discussion of its derivation, force and
expressiveness.
The French novelist Daudet, also, is
we'll acquainted with the much smaller,
but almost equally curious vocabulary
of fashionable slang, which presents
the additional difficulty of changing
with every season. English writer's,
too, are obliged to study slang if they
wish their characters to appear natural,
for London Society-with a capital S.
employs more slang and worse slang
in conversation than educated persons
anywhere else. We perceive with dis
may, therefore, a tendency, among
Americans to emphasize their speech
with imported slang as we'll as that
native to the soil.
Now, American slang is bad enough;
but we are, in some degree, hardened
to it. The word dude has long since
ceased to excite astonishment, mug
wump is an accepted fact, and Doodle
adopted from the thieves vocabulary
is fast coming to have a familiar sound.
The slang phrases employed in COM
mon conversation, although unpleas-
ing, are not disgusting, and are. fire.
quently expressive. To get left, for in
stance, conveys, in the briefest and
most forcible form, an idea which it
might take some time to state in cor.
rect language.
But English slang is different. 1t is
silly. 1t is inexpensive. 1t is some.
times revolving. No good American,
we are sure, could bring himself to use
it. W. advise our readers to distrust
any one who speaks the Sang dialect
habitually, to carefully avoid any per-
son who talks about cads, and to look
upon the individual who is capable Of
saying rot, for rubbish, as hopeiessly
beyond the pale of civilization. IN Y.

 Gentlemen:
 In acknowledging the receipt of your communication of yesterday, referring to my administration of affairs upon the San Carlos Reservation, beg leave to express to you my sincere appreciation of the cordial manner in which you com mend the important results achieved during the period I was Agent for the Apache Indians. In the arduous work performed among those Indians, from 1874 to 1877, had no purpose in view beyond the strict performance of my duty, in such manner as to secure the greatest permanent good for both citi- zens and Indians. Nothing is more grati- flying to my nature than the acknowledg- ment and expressed appreciation of the results of my efforts.
 The proposition that 1 again assume the responsibilities of Agent at San Car Carlos, if agreeable to the administra tion, suggests most serious consider ations. Three years of active service in the execution of most important meas ures among these Indians has given me a vivid conception of what is implied by the terms "great responsibilities" and trying emergencies" in your communi- cation.
 In reply to your first inquiry as to whether feel that could again estab- fish management upon the Reservation similar to that formerly exercised by me, if the authority were given me, could answer briefly and candidly, yes. could give my reasons for thinking so. For in stance: The same factors under similar circumstances ought to produce similar results. The lapse of time has removed

IOMBSIONE, Jan' 7, 1000.
 John P. Cum, Esq:
 Sir-In view of the acknowledge sue. cess which characterized your admins tration of Indian affairs upon the San Carlos reservation, from 1874 to 1877, we desire to ask you whether you feel that you could resume a similar over that reservation if the authority were given you, and whether you would be willing to again assume the important duties and responsibilities of agent at San Carlos reservation if the position could be secured for you?
 We feel that a competent and ex- perienced agent at San Carlos, who would be earnest and faithful Tn his work, could do more in securing proper ad- ministration of affairs upon that reserva- tion than any other influence.
 Your former record as agent, your knowledge of those Indians, the control you exercised over tham, and the fact that you command thelr confidence and respect, all indicate that you fully com prehend the great responsibilities of your position, and proved yourself equal to the many trying emergencies peculiar thereto. The serious nature of the duties which devolve upon the agent at San Carlos makes at most hazards to experience with new men.
 In view of the fact that the manage ment of the Indians at San Carlos car ries with it the responsibility of human life and the heace and prosperity of our territory we feel that the question of politics would not be considered bar rier In the selection of suitable man for agent.
 Believing that civil authority which IS the proper government for the peaceable Indians, will speedily be resumed upon the reservation. We are desirious of expressing to the administration our views and judgment in the selection of an agent.
 If you would again undertake the res- possibilities of that position, there would undoubtedly be a universal and enthu- siastic sentiment in favor of your re- appointment on the part of citizens of Arizona and New Mexico, who have the greatest interest in this matter.

The Proposed Labor Party

1t certainly looks as il there would be a
Labor party in the Presidential contest In
1888. The convention OF trades unions
now in session at Columbus. o.. adopted
a resolution Friday looking in that direc-
tion, and the supporters of Henry George
for Mayor of New York in November are
actively preparing the way for such a
party. The sentiment among leading
men in Washington is that there will be
three parties in 1888, and that the third
party will be Labor party.
What effect will Labor party have
upon the two great political parties which
at present divide the country is a ques-
ton that is interesting the politicians at
present. 1t is admitted that outside Of
the cities aud larger towns the labor vote
will not be large. but nobody can give
a reliably approximate guess what twill
be in the labor strongholds.
or course both the Democrats and Re-
publicans are claiming that they have
Republicans say that a large labor vote
in the city of New York would give them
New York State, and that that is all they
want. With New York in their column
they claim to feel certain OF enough cleo.
torai votes to elect their candidate. On
the other hand the Democrats say, and
very truly too, that heretofore the greater
part OF the labor vote has acted
with the Republican party, because Of
that party's advocacy of a protective
tariff. The chances are, therefore, that
in the event OF the formation OF a Labor
party not only would New York rema ain
in the Democratic column but several
other States, which are now classed as
Republican, would GO into that column
| or course it is wholly uncertain what
effect upon the political situation Labor
party would have, but the indications Ger.
| taihly are that it would be more hurtiul
to the Republican than the Democratic
party. '..

Gould and Gresham.

Judge Gresham, who was Postmaster
General and Secretary of the Treasury
during President Arthur's administra-
ton, had something to say about Mr.. Jay
Gould and railway wreckers in decision
which he rendered in Wabash railroad
case day or two ago, and then MIR. Jay
Gould seized upon a favorable opportu-
nifty to say something about Judge
Gresham.
A lot of spectators and wreckers got
hold of the Wabash railroad, and after
having got out of it all that they could
they had two of their number appointed
receivers for the purpose, apparently, of
getting the greater part of what was LETT.
The bondholders, who had seen their
bonds, under the peculiar tactics of the
wreckers, fall in value until they had be-
come almost worthless, went into court
TO save what they could of their property.
Judge Gresham passed upon their petit
ton for justice, and in the course of his
remarks uttered some words which Mr..
Gould will not soon forget.
Mr.. Gould would like the country to
believe that Judge Gresham has the Pres.
idential bee IN his bonnet, and that he
attacked railroad wreckers simply to in
crease mis- popularity and improve his
chances for the Presidential nomination
of his party. Clearly Mr.. Gould does not
know Judge Gresham, or, if he does, he
is not disposed to do him justice. Judge
Gresham is straightforward. honest
man and would not SwerVa a hair q
breadth from the right course knowingly
for any office in the gift of the people. Ii
is certain that MIR. Gould will not in
crease mis- popularity by abusing Judge
Gresham.
