English Spelling

Every scholar is disposed to look
with disfavor on the claims to
scholarship of any one who does
not spell well, and yet English
spelling is the one single study
that must be mastered without
rule or reason.
In order to call attention to some
of the absurditieS that beset the
child in learning to spell, and pro-
nounce also, we give few famil-
lar examples
Take the letter a and we give it
4 distinct sounds and the sounds of
the other vowels are not only num-
erous, but distinct. But it is in the
use of the diphthong and triph-
thong that the greatest absurdity
appears. Take al and we have
long in pail, short e in said and
long in aisle. The same foolish
ness is found in the use of go as
witness the different sound of this
element in people, yeOman and
gudgeOn.
Bad and harassingly confound-
ing to the young as are those, Ough
is worse. All admit that dough
spells do but through don't spell
Mrow, and we would pronounce
him horn idiot who would insist
that tough spelled toe. Leaf has ca
beef must be furnished with &c and
brief with lie.
Then in the matter of silent let
ters we have adopted the idiosy-
crasies of the whole earth. Take
for example the word Phthisic, and
and apply the principles of Or
thoepy. Yet we expect our schools
to produce good spoilers and read
ers from this complicated mass of
Inconsistency.
Is it not high time for our adj
yanced and educated English peo-
bile to adopt some system of spell
the words in general use. Our
present twentysiX character al
phabet seems only an engine of

tribute-paying serfs." 1t concludes
therefore, that "the Western farm
er has no interest whatever in a
protective tariff. His interest
rather lies in the direction of free
trade--of access to all markets
wherever his products may be in
demand. Sell where he may and
buy at the lowest figures-this, sell
fish as it may seem, is what most
concerns the Western farmer. Free
trade will give the West the mar
kets of the world and an opportun-
ity to buy what it requires at less
than half what it now pays for the
same articles"
Who would imagine from read
ing these words that they are the
sentiments of II lifelong advocate
of protection if the writer had not
prefaced them by the avowal that
he had been such. The Kansas
editors, like the Kansas Senators,
have been hearing from their peo-
pie, and the people have been pro-
filing by the campaign of educa-
tiOn. Courier .TOu

An Orgnn,s Conversion.

The change of political sentiment
in Kansas is shown not only by the
spectacle of its Senators voting
with the Democrats on amend
ments to the tariff bill, but also by
the tone of the Republican press of
the State.
The Atchison Champion, which
confesses that it has advocated the
protective policy for more than
thirty years, has recently discover
ed reasons for modifying its views.
1t now declares that while protect
ion is good thing for the East it
is a positive injury to the West,
and san insurmountable hindrance
to its Development" 1t goes on to
say that "the Eastern manufacture
ers and capitalists have increased
their accumulations enormously,
while the farmers Of the West have
made no proportionate gain, but,
ON the eaDtrary, have been reduc-.
ed to q condition Of yassalage, Of

Protected to Death.

EXCEPT the iron industry there
is not one of all our branches of
manufacture that has received such
liberal and persistent nursing from
the tariff as the woolen industry.
The number of wooden mills that
have failed since the elec tion OF
General Harrison, when the return
of the Republican party to power
gave the world notice that high
protection was in for another four
years, is pretty solemn comment
ary on the results of this govern
mental fostering. On July IL
William Wrightson, Philadelphia
manufacturer of jerseys, hosiery,
etc., joined this procession and
made an assignment. A few days
ago the Boston Commercial Bull
letin said: "The wooden goods
industsy was probably never in
much worse condition in this
country. The slowness of its de-
velopment may be judged from the
fact that, despite an average year
ly increase of over a million of
population, the increase in the
number of wool cards in this
country is less than n hundred
year, while the proportion of WOOL
len machinery shut down between
June 1 and September ! bids fair
to be the largest ever known" A
week or two ago, in its regular
Monday article on "Money and
Business" the New York Tribune
said: "rhe inactivity of many
woolen works restricts purchase of
wool, and prices at the West are
but the heavy stocks of
goods which are now
here will go far to prevent impro-
vement in that industry for the
rest of the year." Under the late
the Tribune was
always depressing the wooden
trade by "the heavy stocks of i'm
ported goods" but for nearly a
year and Il half the Republicans
have had all the machinery for
out "heavy stocks of i'm
ported goods" We do not suppose
that the Tribune pretends that the
New York markets are staggering
under the goods imported before

Unable TO Contract.

1t is reported that the School
Book commission appointed under
the law Of last winter were unable
to make any contract for school
books at the prices determined
by the law, and the patrons of our
schools will remain in the grip of
the Trust for another year.
We believe that the prices offer
ed by the Commission were fair to
the public and profitable to the
publishers.
The Legislature should provide
for publishing the necessary books.

Blaine and Reciprocity.

While Mr.. Blaine has told some
sober truth about the effects of the
Mckinley bill, his scheme of re.
ciprocity does not supply remedy
for the evils of the protective sys-
tenn as pointed out by himself.
What Blaine complains of, and
with business and truth, is that the
farmer is practically unprotected
i'm his bushes, and that he is made
to bear and undue proportion of
the cost of administration, in COM
parison with the manufacturing
industries.
That this is true now and ever
will be under the existing revenue
system of our government, needs
not the argument of Mr.. Blaine to
demonstrate.
Now what does free trade with
Latin America offer as a remedy
for this.
South America is pronouncedly
an agricultural region.
The raising of grain and grazing
is the chief industries while manu-
featuring of all kinds is almost if
not entirely wanting.
Does it not appear that such a
region will not at the present, and
perhaps never will, require any
great quantity of the agricultural
products of the United States or
any other region? AS it's people
advance i'm the art of agriculture
its products will increase until
they are offered i'm all the markets
of the world.
The foregoing being true, how
can free trade or reciprocity offer
IA remedy for the ills of our over
productive, over taxed farmers?
There is, however, another class
of persons who may reasonably ex-
pect to be largely benefited by
Mr.. Blaine's scheme, and they are
the manufacturers OF our coast
region.
If free trade is established, our
manufacturers will find Il sure and
steady market for their goods, and
thus, largely increase their aggre-
gate profits without losing grip
on their dear and cherished "Home
Market" and the farmers Of the

Sudden Death of James d. Retallic.

The people of this place were
startled, last Monday morning, to
learn that j. ID. Retallic had died
suddenly, the preceding midnight.
We are reluctant to thus publicly
refer to the subject, but the friends
and acquaintance of Mr.. Retallic
are aware that he occasionally in
dulged in intoXicants to excess, and
of late he had been known to he on
more prolonged drinking spell
than usual. For day or two. or
perhaps more, he had been endea-
voring to throw off the appetite
and be himself again, and to as
sist in this and quiet his nerves, he
used chloral, but it was thought
not to any undue extent. He had
risen from the bed, and while walk
ing across or standing on the floor,
remarked to his wife that he felt
dizzy, and almost Immediately fell
heavily and in few moments eX-
pired. The precise cause of his
sudden decease cannot, of course,
be known, but it was probably in
the nature of apoplexy.
Mr.. Retallic was a prominent
member of the Perry County Bar,
a successful lawyer, good speak
er, courteous in manner And had
hosts of friends. He leaves q wife
and one child to mourn their great |
loss. They have the heartfelt
sympathy of the entire community.

and had risen to an enviable posi-
ion in his profession and other
wise among men.
