so much in modern literature, he stands

The English language as spoken by
the American people is subject to great
and rapid changes. Among a people so
little conservative every one seems to
be at liberty to coin words and take
| liberties with his mother tongue. The
varied foreign elements pouring into
cur country nom every nation under
the sun. the extent and variety of our
territory. the vast sectional industries
carried en-, the cosmopolitan and mi
gratory character OF our people. their
omnivorous habits of taking intellec-
tual pabulum from all nations and Ian
guages and toDgues-all these are con-
stantly transforming our language.
While these things may prevent
tendency to distinct dialects
and serve in measure to knead
our language iato "a compact whole
yet they keep pouring into the mass an
endless variety of new elements, and
thus it is ut the mercy OF an infinite
number of fluctuating forces. Ii is of
interest to every AWerican that the
language in which the English classic.
bave been written shall be kept as pure
az possible. and that all changes shall
be made with the greatest care. In no
way can this be so well accomplished as

complain that 1t il controlled by the
usage or dictum of the East, or vice

In Gildersleeve's essays and studies
one may see that the scholar in the
university can do no less effective WORK
than the scholar in politics. Too often
has it been the case that mere pedantry
has sat in the high seats and empty
pedagogues occupied the chief places III
the university synagogues of the land.
while true literary polish was exiled
and genius and wit kept aloof from the
centres Of learning. How rare have
been the opportunities whichgsur stu
dents have had of listening to Lowell
and Holmes, to LoDgfellow, and Sted'

of the Golden Age are revived when

A Card 10 the Pupiic.

Our attention has been called to the
circulation of rumors on the street, charg
ing US with combining with dealers IN
certain line of goods to keep out compe>
tition by refusing to rent our stores on
Second avenue to any one wanting to en-
gage in their line of business. We pubs
licly deny the charge, it being false in
every particular. We also deny the
charge that any party or parties are now
or have been paying us rent to keep our
stores closed. The change of grade and
paving of Second avenue made it neces>
sary for US to remodel the old Darts hall
building. The second floor is a very
large. fine room, suitable for lodge or as
sembly purposes. The stores on the first
floor show for themselves. We offer the
whole building or any part of it, to any
one wanting to rent for any reputable
business, and will try to meet his views
as to rental, fixtures, etc. We have as
much interest as any concern can posi-
bly, have in the growth and prosperity of
the city and most certainly would not do
anything detrimental to our interests and
those of the city of Rock Island. Very
respectfully, HENRY DARTS SoNs.
