The dictionaries are not reason enough
for any ones making himself utterly
singular among his fellows. On the
same principle we in America continue
to say "skedule" Instead of making peo
pie open their eyes by saying schedule.
When we are in England we may say
tong instead of "tung" for tongue,
but the wise American will go with all his
countrymen in such matter when he il
at home. Very few people, either English
or American, ever say "dyuty," "con-
stityution," and so on, and yet that il
undoubtedly the way we ought to pro
nounce thein-if we are going strictly
by the authorities. 1t is better to be
idiomatic, either in writing or speaking,
than to be just right by the book.-Bos-

Democratic Sympathy.

The sympathy of the Democrat press
for the poor Ohio wool growers during
the recent elections Was loud aud pathet-
ic-if not profound. Under the malgn
influence Of the protective tariff the de-
mand for Ohio wool had so diminished it
had become unstable, and the story of
the poor farmer who went to market with
load of wool and stood there all day
without q purchaser was rehearsed by ev-
cry Democratic paper and orator in the
land. Indeed, the unhappy farmer WAS
kept standing In the market place during
the whole campaign, and 1t IL not yet Ger.
tsin that he has escaped to his homo.
That the touching narrative failed of its
intended effect was amply shown by the
result of the election In Ohio. The
Buckeye farmer is no fool, and showed
his wisdom by holding on to his wool aud
voting the Republican ticket. Recent
wool sales In London show that prices
there are equivalent to less than 20 cents
for Ohio wool, while the Ohio farmer has
been receiving from 26 to 80 cents at
home. 1t would have cost him probably
3 cents pound In freight, and commits
sion to sell his wool 10 London, so that
the tariff, by keeping our foreign woods,
has secured him q price II cents above
what he could get In the British market.
This Is an object lesson which the Ohio
wool grower 10 not likely to forget.
