ST. LOUIS. Mo-, May 17.-At to-day's
session of the general conference of the
Nj. E. church South, the committee on
fraternal correspondence to which
was referred a communication asking
the general conference to appoint COM
missioners to meet commissioners to be
appointed by the house of bishops and
house of deputies of the Protestant
Episcopal churches for conference on
organic union, ETC., reported recon-
mending non-conference, and the report
was adopted by a unanimous vote. The
committee held that the spirit of the
church had always been broad and
catholic, and that policy would never
be abandoned. The church South had
never been divided from any church.
The committee wanted those who had
made division to make overtures for re-
union. A resolution cOndemning Sun
day newspapers was referred to the
committee on the Sabbath.

TIE COMING LANGUAGE.

~ u
The fact that the English language
was used at the Samoan conference for
the first time IN diplomacy has started a
discussion of the possibilities of our
mother tongue becoming the universal
language. None have brought more
erudition. thoroughness and accuracy
into this discussion than DR.. PHILIP
SCHAFF, the eminent German scholar,
who is impressed with the belief that
the time is rapidly approaching when
the English will be the prevailing
language of earth.
One argument in favor of this PROPOSE
ton is that the English is the most COM
posite of all the tongues. Almost every
language of Europe, besides some of the
tongues of Asia, Africa and America,
have contributed to the English. The
Celts have furnished the terms of serv-
lie life; the Hebrew the religious
terms; the Greek gives the technical
names of learning and art; the Italian
contributes our musical terms; the
Dutch words which we use come from
the sea; astronomy, mathematics and
chemistry borrow their terms from the
Arabian; the familiar word tariff is
from the Spanish; the native Indians
have given many names, and with our
American ingenuity we have invented
a good many words of our own.
While it is admitted that in pronun-
citation the English is one of the most
difficult of languages, the scholars all
agree that it is the easiest and simplest
i'll its grammatical structure, and thus
1t becomes the most easily acquired and
the most easily used. Brevity is an
other advantage the English enjoys. land
on this account is the best business
language.
Inasmuch as the Anglo-Saxon race
seems destined to be the conquering,
governing race of the world, it is but
logical that the language should follow
in the track of conquest. Indeed. the
English language has already become
the conquering tongue of the world.
There is no portion of the earth where
1t is not spoken. 1t has made its way
up the Nile and to the East Indies. LIV-
INGSToNE and STANLEY carried if into
the heart of Africa. Brahmin priests
speak and preach in the purest English.
1t is familiar tongue in China and
Japan. 1t is the language of the sea;
and, whether in the Mediterranean or in
the fjordS of Norway, you seldom find
sea captain who does not converse
fuently in English. Thus it has already
established itself as the connecting link
between the different nationalities of
the world, and is to-day what the Greek
was after the conquest of ALEXANDER
THE GREAT, the Latin during the mid
die ages, and the French a century ago.
More Bibles are printed in the English
language than in all others combined,
The English language is regarded by
scholar and theologian as affording
the best means for conveying the
truths of the Bible; and thus with the
spread of Christianity the English
tongue will be brought more and more
into use.
Since scholars agree that the English
language is entitled to take rank as the
foremost tongue of the civilized world
to-day, it is matter of some satisfac-
ton to US to know that it is universally
conceded that in the United States Eng
fish is spoken with more uniformity and
purity than it is in England itself.

THE NATIONAL GAME.

There is a good deal of sameness in
the popular disposition in all parts of
the country. In the East or in the
West, whether in the range of one or
ganization or of another, there is the
same complaint. Very early in the
season the New York Tribune made
itself an object of aversion ana ridicule
by intimating that the base ball indus
try was in imminent peril, and that
some of the sturdy sons of toll upon the
diamond might be without salaries.
