GEAND RAPIDS. ruURsDAY MARCH L


The Presidents appointment OF Col.
GcOsgs O.. Briggs, 10 be the next post
master OF Grand Rapids, will not
be withdrawn. and the matter Is
practically ended. This Is the Pres
ldents own solution OF the great
problem, which has been allowed to
grow greater by his own delay IN action.
After allowing himself 10 get deeply in
volved 10 the difficulty, he set aside
both original candidates and prescribed
the following qualifications for the fu-
turc postmaster lie must be third
man and must have been a soldier.
Under the circumstances the very best
selection has been made. Col. Briggs
"a a representative citizen and Republi-
can. He has a multitude of friends
and no pronounced enemies. He Is
endowed with good executive abilities
and Will give Grand Rapids the best
post-ofhce service that 1t has had IN
years.
Tne appointment, under the clrcum-
stances is indeed one which can
not. IN itself. give rise 10 any bitterness
Of feeling. For II IS one which
the friends Of neither Of the
original candidat-s asked, nor are
n any way responsible for. Hence the
TEIEGRAsI HERALD feels warranted in
saying that the feelings that were
stirred up by the contest viii soon die
away. Republicans will make good
nominations and enter into the spring
campaign IN earnest. No traitors wlll

VIII any accessons accrue TO the rank:

;sss. Republican, Are made of better
stuff than that. Their choice OF
parties g a choice Of principles, not q
mere choice Of factions, and they vii
be found together from now on, with
sturdy shoulders 70 the wheel, puships

WE'RE PROUD OF 1T.

In these days, when other languages
are extensively studied and admired, 1t
Is well enough to recall occasionally
the fact that we are the proud pos
SCISSORS of one of the finest languages
ever spoken, and, certainly, at present,
the most important language existing.
II has conquered the world. It's litera-
ture IS unsurpassed. So that for pur-
poses of either business or culture, one
needs to seek no other. The Toledo
Blade portrays the conquests of our
mother-tongue N these sentences:
"The progress of the English tongue
as language, and the decadence of
French and German, is again recalled
by the fact that the two international
conferences at Washington used Eng
llsh in their discussions. In Shlks-
peare's time, less than SIX millions of
people used English. 4 century ago,
when Washington was President. less
than sixteen millions used it, while be.
tween thirty and fifty millions used
French. Fiftyyesrs ago. as many peo-
pie used German a English.
lsh "a spoken by at least one hundred
million people; German by about sixty
millions; French by about fOrty-fve
millions. The growth of the English
) tongue has not been through a forced
governmental policy, but because the

ties. Wherever the Eng gIsh-speaking
people went, their language became the
leading tongue; and now = man can
belt the world IN bis travels, needing no
language out English to make himself
understood.
This is 4 thing that is not true Of
any other language, and marks not only
the fact that the English race has spread
itsclt all around the world, but tho ad-
dItOual one. whose importance does
. not as yet seem 20 be fully compre.
