stonians. If, then, the Official Opposition
stump the country in the Recess with the
cry that by asserting to the exclusion
from our markets of certain sugars the
Government have abandoned Free Trade,
they may be supported in their opposition
to this particular provision of the COnven-
ton by such a powerful body of opinion
that the Government, which has often
shown itself unduly timorOuS of opposition,
may give way, abandon the clause, and
with it the Convention.
For our part we do not think that there
is any very great likelihood that the OPP
position will be able to destroy the Con-
v%eution, but they will try, and in the pre-
sent curious state of English parties any
thing like confident prediction as to the
result is out of the question. Happily the
Convention cannot be discussed in Parlia-
ment until after the treaty is signed, which
will not be until the middle of August. By
thai time it will be difficult to get a House
together, and if nothing is done this SEES
sion we may hope that the Autumn cam

eff only we had been consulted at
the creation of the world, good as the
general working Of the machine is, how
many little improvements might have been
introduced! This remark, not meant to be
irreverent, is often heard when people
suffer from tOothache either at the arrival
or at the departure of their mOlars, or when
a sudden frost sets in and deSt rOYS the
blossoms on all the fruit-trees in their gar
den. VOlaptik seems suggested 10y the
same kind Of sentiment. Ian guageS, the
adherents to VOIaptik seem to say, are all
wonderful machines, but, if We could only
nave been consulted by the original trainers
Of human speech, nov many little irregu-
larities might nave been eliminated, how
much might the VIII ole wOr king Of the ma

saving of fuel might have been effected ii
instead of d thousand Of these linguistic
machines, each having its own guage,
there had been one engine only taking MS

Those who lament the imperfectiOn. of
human speech may claim, however, this
advantage over the grumOl erS at the world
at large, that they are quite prepared to
produce a better article. Again and again
has the world been presented, not only
with new alphabets and new systems of
spelling, but with brand, new languages.
OF late, however, there has been quite a
good measure of them, pressed down amt

we have mentioned fou only, called re-

several more PROPOSALS for a universal Ian
guage sent to us lately from various quar-
ters of the world, all equally ingenious,
though we are sorry we cannot dis
inter them from beneath that mighty
cairn of pamphlets which is growing up
from week to week in our library. .au
ALI these proposals have one thing in
common They start from a fact which
cannot be disputed, that Life is too short
to learn more than four or five languages
WE'LL, and that it is perfectly wicked to
write books on scientific subjects, in any
language but English, French, German,
or Latin. They then go off into raptures
about the days when s'the whole earth waS

even appeal to prophecy that it has been
promised 'sthat a pure language will

SPEAKING of deep water on the coast

SPEAKING of deep water on the coast
of Texas, the Laredo Times says: "If q
wider and deeper interest could be
secured it would seem good idea to
hold the deep water convention at Den
ver." No doubt, but why more interest
at Denver than at Fort Worth? Fort
Worth, as the Texas end Of the route to
Colorado, Is an eminently fitting and
proper place to hold that convention. 1t
does seem to the ordinary observer that
it were better to hold that convention
within the state borders than without
them. There may be extraordinary
reasons why this Is not the case but as
yet they do not appear.
The transcript Of the pope's rescript
which reaches this country per CORE
spondence from Rome, does not seem to
be so absolutely prosoriptive as was at
first declared. There is no ooncealing
its destructive effects upon the "plan of
campaign" however, and it brings all
boycotters under the ban OF the church.
It is rather queer association Of ideas
which makes the pope OF Rome the
champion of English toryism against
the Roman Catholic hosts of Ireland.
THE claim made by immigr alton
agents that Texas taxes are only 10
cents on the 500 is hardly according to
Hoyle. Taxes this year are temporari-
ly down, but they will be doubled next
year. Present revenue, as decided by
legislature, will not meet current ex-
penses.
