AIisprOnunciatlon of Words.

Many mispronunciatiOns may be ac-
counted for on the ground Of laziness
inherent in man. 1t is a great
deal easier to pronounce the
vowel sounds than the COnsonant
sounds; and, by the way, it is a curl
GUS fact that man is consonant-
sounding animal; animals use vowels;
1T is the province Of man to shape
these vowels into words with the use
OF consonants. Hence, Homer de-
fines man as ''speech-diyiding." 1t
is a great deal easier to say sab,
mistah, and wah, than to say sir,
mister, and war 1t is easier to say
mornin', evenin'. than morning,
evening. But on the other hand, there
are cases when the destroyerOf English
seems to take considerable trouble to
accomplish his purpose. Is is easier
to say borrer than borrow, or garding
sass than garden sauce? 1t is easier
to say 'oss than horse; but why go to
the gratuitOus labor Of prehxing an b
In great many cases where 1t does
not belong? Almost anybody could
say asparagus but it seems TO require
some little chronological erudition to
say Sparrow-grass. A country friend
Of the writer invariably called succo-
tash succOthash, being apparently
under the impression that it is an in
genious compound of the vegetable
and the animal, coming under the
general name Of hash. Another ac-
quaintance, who speaks very deliber-
ately, and with an xasperating 81
know-I-am right" expression of coun-
tenance, laboriously adds 'fg" to all
words ending with 'n'--as capting,
Bosting, and so on. His mispro-
nunciation seems to proceed from de-
sire to be unusually exact and finished
In speech, and it would require some
courage to call him to account for
his errors.

William was unQuestionably i'll tnat
hot afternoon when he came into the
brokers' Office in Broad street, where
he is employed as a messenger. His
face was the color of ashes and wore
an expression of ''gonenesS" that ex-
cited the pity of everyone in the
place. The Junior partner, with
words of sympathy, told him to go
home at once. Just as William was
starting, the senior member of the
firm came in.
"HellO, what's the matter?" he
asked, seeing the boys pale face.
'Tm SICK" mumbled William.
'What ails you?" The broker was
suspicious instead of sympathetic.
'My stomach" answered the boy.

Reid Understands,


In the New York Tribune Of November
q, the recently defeated candidate for
vice president came nearer acknowledge
ing the truth than he has since Horace
Greeley died. He said:
"The politician who attempts to explain
the defeat is crying over spilled milk.
The newspaper which tells How it was
done is winning The writer Of pO-
litical obituary has hardly an enviable
task. A defeated party is supposed to
accept with philosophical resignation
the rejection Of pet politics and with the
calmness Of the fatalist, tell himself that
it was to have been.' The reasons given
for the result Of the recent elections are
as numerous as there are differences in
the minds of the two parties.
ITO him that looks beneath the sur
face there is ample evidence that defeat
Of the republican party was not mainly
due to 'unpopularity' of it's candidates,
nor to the love which the people are said
TO bear for Grover Cleveland; not to the
Mckinley bill, nor to any 'desire on the
part Of the people for free trade;' not be-
cause free silver is not wanted Not
through the superb generalship' of the
democratic national committee was q
victory gained, nor was the battle lost
through the lamentable incompetency'
of the republican leaders. The chief
cause Of the republican defeat and demo-
cratic victory is the modern tendency
toward socialism.
"This statement by no means implies
that the socialistic propaganda has taken
a firm hold upon the citizens Of the
United States, or that its tenets have but
to be sown in American soil to bear an
abundant harvest. They have not the
slightest desire to overturn the existing
government; the rawlings Of the anar-
chlsts they repudiate altogether.
"But since 1873, on Black Friday, po-
litical and social conditions of the United
States have been those of unquiet and
discomfort among certain classes. The
greenbaok party then had its origin. 1t
is in the last decade, however, that social
discomfort has manifested itself more
markedly in the formation of political
parties, all OF which, according to the
leaders of them, were destined to glori-
Gus futures when the democratic and re-
publican parties should be wiped out of
existence.
"This unsettled state of affairs showed
itself in the formation of the greenback
party, the labor party, the socialist party,
the Farmers Alliance, and finally the
Peoples party"

CHILE is CONCILIATORY
THE NEW ADMINISTRATION ADOPTS
A PEACE POLICY.
Any Settlement With the United Statos
Will Be Welcome That Is Not Abso-
lurely Humiliating-Matta's Insulting
Note to Be Withdrawn.

New YORK, Jan. 1.-The Herald's
Santiago correspondent says: The new
cabinet is generally approved by the
press and the people of the country.
Some reluctance was felt by some of the
members of the cabinet to taking Office
because the exact situation of affairs
between the United States and Chile
was not known. There seems to be a
disposition to come to terms with the
United States, provided an amicable ar
rangement can be made which will
not humiliate Chile. / am informed
there is likelihood that the note of
the late minister of. foreign affairs,
Sef1or Malta, which caused such an Of
tense to the government at Washington,
may be withdrawn. 1t is stated that
President Montt has been advised to
withdraw the Malta note, and mem
ber of the new cabinet said the cabinet
would take up the question ae soon as
the report OF the court on the Baltimore
affair was made. No apprehension of
rupture is felt, he said, despite the state
OF public feeling on the subject.
Acting presumably under instructions
from his government, Kennedy, British
minister, has been advising President
Months government to make reasonable
terms with the United States.
Gutschmidt, German minister, has
offered the services of his government
as arbitrator between the two countries,
but in view of the continued insults to
our nation, both covert and openly dis
played, it is hardly thought possible
that the proposition to submit the trou
bles to arbitration will be entertained.
Minister Egan today received polite
note from the new minister of foreign
affairs, Perior, informing him of the
desire of the new government to main
tain friendly relations with him, both
personally and officially, and also to
preserve and maintain the friendship
existing between the two countries.
A mail orderly of the United States
cruiser came ashore December 29th to
pay for a cablegram. and has not been
heard from since. The police are search
ing for him.

A ROUGH RECEPTION.
Party of "Scab" Railroad Employees
Mobbed at Little Rock.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Jan. There
was great excitement IN railroad cir
cles here today over the election of a
carload of s'scab" railroad employees,
en- route from Indianapolis and Louis
vile to relieve the strike on the San An
tonic and Arkansas Pass road. The rail-
road men had learned of their coming
and when the train arrived, large
crowd was. congregated at the depot.
One man shouted to 'cut the hose and
drop the car out" and the air brake
hose was severed in an instant. When
the train started up, the mob having
failed to disconnect the engineers sig
nal cord, the bell in the cab rang and
the train stopped again. BY this time
all the engine whistles in the yard be-
gan to blow, and it seemed as though
Bedlam had broken loose. A hundred
men rushed into the sleeper.
driving the occupants, some
forty telegraph operators, machinists
and train hands from the car and into
the swamps near by. Most of tn, m
were driven into pond. through which
they foundered. followed by the in
furiated men. The sleeper was re-
coupled to the train and it crossed the
river into Little Rock. where another
crowd of men boarded it, and with
knives cut to shreds all the baggage OF
the unfortunate men.
J.. H. Littlefield, who was in charge
of the party OF new men, with several
of his mpanions, escaped and took
train for Texas, while the others of the
party are still in hiding in the swamps
awaiting an opportunity to escape. The
railroad authorities are enraged at the
action of their employees. The various
railroad labor unions are in strong SYM
pathy with their striking brethren in
Texas, and it is a wonder the new men
escaped severe personal injuries.

ROME, Jan. liking Humbert today
gave an AUDIENCE to Sig. Farine, presi-

president of the chamber of deputies,
and replying to New Years addresses,
expressed confidence that parliament
would pass the commercial treaties re-
Gently negotiated. These treaties, the
king declared, will prove beneficial to
the country, and parliament should
therefore display no hesitancy in adopt
ing them. Referring to the political
outlook, King Humbert said the situa-

Italy would accomplish the pacific la
bors in which she was at present en-
gagged.

Good Will Among Men.
ROME, Jan. 1.-Some surprise has
been occasioned here by the receipt of
cable dispatches from Montreal and
other places in Canada and the United
States, anxiously inquiring as to the
truth of the rumor that the pope was
assassinated. 1t is unknown here how
the rumor originated, for it certainly
had no basis in truth. The pope is en-
joying his usual health, and no attempt
whatever has been made to assassinate
him or infiict any injury upon him.
The pope today took long walk in
the vatican gardens.
LONDON, Jan. 1.-THE Rome corres-
pondent OF the Daily Telegraph says he
visited the vatican last night to obtain
an interview with the pope, but was not
accorded that privilege. The pope,
however, sent him message, saying he
bestowed his blessing upon all mankind,
and that he would pray for continued
peace and good will among men.

New YoRK, Jan. 1.--The mystery sur

Warren, Princeton college man, has
been cleared up. The young man
walked into his parents residence this
evening. His uncle, Frederick Crosby,
refused to allow reporters to see him.
He said he told somewhat incoherent
story about his doings. When he left
Frazer's house he walked further than
ne intended, and the next thing he re-
membered was his intention of starting
for Harper's Ferry; then he found HIM
self in Baltimore, where he stayed t,o
days and came home. The relatives,
acting on the advice of the family ply
sician, did not urge him to give any fur

MoNGoLIAN OUTLAWS.
Lawless Bands Again Marauding in
Northeastern China.

NOrtheastern China.
LONDON, Jan. IA dispatch from
Shanghai received today states that not
withstanding the punishment inflicted
by the imperial troops upon the Mon
golian outlaws, who committed 30 many
depredations in Manchurin, lawless
bands are again marauding in the
northeast part OF China. 1t is reported
that these bands destroyed number OF
temples in that section of China, but
no religious or political Importance at
taches to the uprising. 1t is believed
it is not preconcerted rising against
the Chinese authorities. The dispatch
says the matter is partly due to agrarian
troubles, the Mongols being land owners,
and that the marauders include large
number of Shan rung farmers.
