ADDITION, division and silence seem
to be the national policy of the repub-
lican party just now. Quay, the head
of the national machine, sits silent under
direct charges by responsible newspapers
that he is an embezzler and thief, and
President Harrison takes no notice of
the open letter written to him by Henry
c. Lea, of Philadelphia, a gentleman Of
the highest standing in the business
community, and a supporter of Mr..
Harrison in 1888. Mr.. Lea calls atten-
ton to the charges against Quay of
'flagrantly dishonest acts, including the
temporary abstraction from the state
treasury Of $4,000 in one instance, and
OF 100000 in another. . If they are
true, Senator Quay ought to be in the
penitentiary. If they are false, he is a
cruelty libelled man." But although.
after two months of the widest publicity
and circulation of such charges, Mr..
Quay makes no explanation and seeks
no redress, "you," says Mr.. Lea, address
ing the president, retain your close DO
itical connection with him, and "you

The Best Enulish.

After listening to English, real and al
legged, under various suns, and in places
and provinces far apart, within and with
out the United States, we feel moved to
conclude that the best English-shall We
say in the world?-is spoken in the north
ern Mississippi valley-that part of the
United States which is bounded on the east
by the Allegheny mountains, west by the
Rockies, north by Canada, south by Mason
and Dixon's line, says the Western School
Journal. What: Not excepting Boston?
No; because at a certain convention held
recently we heard an educated chief from
Boston say: ''This is the 'soss' of
all evil" And how about the i'm
perial city of New York? Well, the
children in her schools pronounce
"murmur," "muymuy''; "bird,'' "boid";
murder" "muyder''; ''park, y ''pawk'; and
at the convention aforesaid several New
York gentlemen repeatedly invited atten-
ton to the glories of ''the Imperial State of
New Yolk."
In the Quaker City, too, there are peculi-
arities of pronunciation, really charming
peculiarities- depending somewhat, of
course. upon the complexion, general ap-
pearance and vivacity of the speaker-but,
nevertheless the pronunciation is not &C,
cordine to Webster nor Worcester. ''No''
is now go" ''gow;" ''road," s.roud;''
boat" bout" "day," ''dahee;" ''rain,' -
'raheen," &c.
Getting down to Washington, one would
expect to find correct pronunciation -four
lshing luxuriantly, but the influence of the
south is plainly discernible in the speech of
the natives. 1.-TWO dollahs.. 'Conah of H
and Foteenth streets, "Majah Bagstock,' -
"fes, sah''-these and similar expressions
can be heard at every street corner.
so We return to our original proposition
that, upon the whole, the people of the
Upper Mississippi Valley speak the best
English. But here, too, there are conspicu-
Gus defects. Such words as calf, half, and
laugh are pronounced with an exasperatinR
| hatness on the sound of a. Then, too-but

WE quite agree with the Herald that
the Hon. Thomas Henry Carter should
not decline a denomination. His career
thus far has disappointed his friends,
and he would go out of office with a
clouded political reputation. He has
not kept his promises to the people, and
his declination of q denomination is vir-
tually a plea Of guilty. Mr.. Carter
should have the courage to go before
the people of Montana in another cam
paign and let judgment be passed upon
him. Besides, the War Horse and the
Cayuse are inexperienced in legislation
and need Carter in Washington to steer
them through the mazes of legislation
for year or two yet. We are sure the
Cayuse feels that Carter should not de-
sert him now.

We quoted on Sunday the claim of
Charles Dudley Warner that the young
woman of the day was understanding the
young man of the period in the race for
intellectual supremacy. And now here
comes another critic and philosopher, the
editor of the New York Sun, with the
statement that as rule the young
women who have been attending the
convention Of the women's clubs in New
York are better educated, and they,
have not impaired their capacities by
the folly so usual in the sex which boasts
OF its greater strength. It is getting
high time for the young men to select a
spokesman and defender able to cope
with these stout champions of the girls.
What are they going to do about it?

The New York Sun is already making
war on some of the gentlemen named for
Randall's successor in congress. The
Sun evidently wants to defeat any dem
ocrat who may be named for the office,
in order to glorify it's dead hero. It is
an interesting sign of the times that the
most conspicuous candidate is young
man who made stirring tariff reform
speech before the young mems demo-
cratic club of Boston the other night.

The esteemed Herald thus demolishes
a majority of the people of the United
States: Ignorance and prejudice are
the main supports of democracy as it ex-
lists in the shape of political party.
Without the solid south and the hood
lums and criminal classes of the great
cities the party could hardly be said to
have an existence" Alnd yet Mr.
Clarkson marvels that the republican
party grows smaller.
