Pronunciation is slowly but steadily
changing. writes Brander Matthews in
Harper's. Somstimss il goes further and
further away from the orthograpy; for ex-
ample. either and neither are getting more
and more to have in their first syllable the
long sound instead of the long sound
which they had once. Sometimes it ia be-
ing modified to agree with the photography.
for example, the older proncntion OF again
to rhyme with men. aud of been to rhyme
with pin. In which was carefully trained
al boy, seem to me to bs given way before
pronunciation id exact accord with the
spelling. again TO rhyme with pain, and
been to rhyme with seen. These two illus
trations are from tho necessarily oIrcum-
soribed experience of single observer, and
the observation Of others may not bear me
out In my opinion; but though the illustra-
tions fall to the ground. the main asser-
tion, that pronunciation 10 changing, 10
indispatable.

BLAND's OPINION.

Amended.

Ho Thinks tine Measure May Have to Be
Amallded.
WASHINGTON. July 5.--Bland 10 here ready
to take hold OF the big end of the
silver fight. He believes the Stewart
bill will have to be amended in order to
prevent its being practical repudiation Of
silver certificates now outstanding. A
meeting of the committee on coinage,
weights and measures will be called for
Wednesday to consider the silver bill and
. speedy report 10 expected. 10 Star re-
porter to-day Bland said that although he
had not talked with any member Of the
committee or senators interested in silver,
nor had yet investigated the subject, but
looking the bill over he feared IL would
have to be amended, az it appeared to him
that by repeating the act Of 1880 the bill
deprived eighty odd million in silver Ger
tihcates of legal tender quality. This, he
said, would admit Of q veto by the presi-
don't. without reference to the question of
silver coinage. OF course there was no
intention on the part of the gentlemen pro-
posing the bill to destroy the legal tender
character OF the certificates, and maybe
they had looked into the matter and disoov-
cred that it was all right. So far as the
passage of the bill is concerned, Bland was
sure it could be accomplished if brought to
vote. IF it receives the necessary atten-
tion 1t will be done and sent back to tho
senate for consideration. If 1t needs no
amendment the matter will be very sim
pie" said Bland.

Made q Fatal Mistake.

WASHINGTON, July 5. Representative
Culbsrson (Iexas) expressed the opinion
that the senate made fatal mistake in tho
passage Of the free coinage bill in that it
failed to preserve in the repeal Of the act of
1880 the legal tender quality of coin notes
issued under authority of the secretary of
the treasury TO redeem bullion. The effect of
the senate bill. he says, will be to demonetize
more than $3.50. OO0. 900 coin notes and post
pone their redemption until congress au-
tborizes it. The house will be compelled to
amend the bill, and thus the session may
be prolonged.
