Constitution and Grammar.

Mr.. DAVID DUDLEY FIELD is entirely
right in his denunciation OF the practice Of
Joining tho plural nominativo. United
States. to tho singular verb. Is or was.
The reasons which this distinguished ex-
FOUNDER OF constitutional law has set forth
in his interesting letter to Professor HILL.
one Of tho foremost living defenders Of
pure English, will commend themselves to
every discerning mind.
1t is strange that solecism so obvious
should havo become OF common occurrence.
Not only does It violate rudimentary rulo
OF syntax. but 1t misrepresents the funda-
mental principle upon which our national
system is founded. The States OF tho Union
are not the less forty-four In number be-
cause they are united by indissoluble bonds.
The Union is one. the United States Gov
ernment Is one. but the United States are
nevertheless several.
We should say that about one-half OF the
newspapers which come under our observa-
tlon habitually exhibit the grammatical
monstrosity which Mr. FIELD and Professor
Hill so properly condemn. We suppose
these journals continue to sin against syn
tax on account OF q vague notion that by
30 doing they are In some way asserting
the principle Of national unity.

endeavored to keep the peace. Count HER
BERT BISMARCK exasperatod the repre-
sentatives OF German worklngmen by de-
claring that third year Of military
service was needed as a sort OF reformatory
school. to work the socialistic poison out OF
conscripts drawn from the proletariat.
Another Conservative member did the Gov
ernment an i'll service by proclaimlng that
the proposed large addition to the standing
army was required. and would be used
not In dealing with foreign enemies.
but in keeping the Socialists under foot.
This was confession Of the justice Of the
charge made by the Socialist speakers dur
ing the recent political campaign that the
enlargement Of the army was really planned.
not In the interest OF the national safety.
which was not threatened, but In that OF
absolutism and consolidation. Amid such
ill-judged and ill-timed disclosures OF class
prejudice and antipathy. the Chancellor may
we'll have deemed himself lucky to get even
small majority in an assembly where the
aristocratlc and landownlng party, IL left to
Its own resources. would be outvoted at
least three to one.
It'll worth noticing that the sneer uttered
by Count HERBERT BISMARCK drew from
one Of the leading Socialists the significant
retort that 1t would take more than three
years Of service in the army to eradicate
the Socialist venom. He could name. he
said. two regiments. every soldier In which.
together with all the non-commissioned
officers. were Jealous disciples OF KARL
MARX. This must have been interesting
news to the Kaiser. who probably by this
time has made 1t his business to discover
what regiments were meant.

Rerefled Air Speeches,

The Hon. DAVIS HECTOR WAITE, Gov
ernor OF Colorado. has taken q flying high
leap to Famo with his dripping and pant
ing threat about riding through blood up to
the horses brides Several other Colorado
orators have thrown up rockets and Ro-
man candles and made a sputter and a
bang most unpleasing to the moro con.
servative Coloradians.
We think. however. that the apprehen-
slons Of these quiet critics about their
noisy neighbors ore not we'll founded. II
Governor WAITE ever comes In wrath
Z against the gold bugs. he will come In pri-
vate car. and it is improbable that his taste
for gore could be gratifed before he
got to tho Chicago stock yards. any way.
We have no doubt that II he ran
against gold bug. ho would say with Uncle
TOBY. go. poor devil. get thee gone; the
world is wide enough for both thee and me!'
and would add. Publicly abominate you.
and thirst for the red liquid in your pluto
cratic veins. but privately and personally
lshould be glad to take snifter with you.
It's the Colorado dir gets In my head. you
know. and makes Inc talk wild"
And 1t Is. It's the same raref1ed atmos-
phere that makes pulque 80 effective on
table lands OF Mexico. In Denver there Is
no need OF artificial stimulation, for every
whifY OF the air is equivalent to two
champagne cocktails and q pousse cafe.
Any Denver orator who is not unusually
strong-headed is liable to become "inebrl-
ated with the exuberance Of his own
verbosity" before he knows 1t. He
breathes In the intoxication OF the ether,
and out OF the abundance Of that at
mospherio spree the mouth speaketh.
The man Is like the priestcss OF Delphi;
the fumes mount to the brain. and he
speaks he knows not what. Does anybody
suppose that the Rev. MYRoN w. REED. the
eminent Denver theologian and politician.
would consciously express q wish to have
Congressman who vote against silver grilled
ct tho stake The air got to his head: that's
all. So Governor WAITE is undoubtedly O
man Of peace. Very probably he cannot
ride at all. or II he can. will not ride through
mud to the horses hoofs without alarm.
We have every reason. too. to believe that
he is O vegetarian and loathes the sight
and name OF blood. but the confounded
rarefled air leads him mad dance. and In
the frenzy Of 1t he speaks vain and thra-
sonical words.
A small case In point: At tho great silver
meeting at Denver. tho Chairman said that
the Greystone Club had offered tho use of
Its rooms for the committee meetings OF
the Convention. One would think that the
Greystone Club was very obliglng, but up
jumps Mr.. E. G. CAvANAGH OF Salida. and
says: ':Sooner than meet In the Greystone
Club rooms would prefer to meet in hell"
Mr.. CAvANAGH was rebuked. but it was eH-
dent that an air that makes quiet citizen
say that he prefers Sheol to a comfortable
club is liable to play still more fantastic
pranks with orators.

Tho Army Bill Pissed.

That Chancellor CAPRIvI's expectations
based upon the outcome OF the second bal
lotings were wall founded. was proved last
week In tho Reichstag. the new Army bill
passing second reading by o majority of
eleven. which on the third reading was in
creased to sixteen. There were not many
votes to spare. since change OF six from
ono side to tho other on the former division
would have defeated the measure.
Just what the Kaiser has gained by ap-
peaIing to n new Parliament Is now plain
he has not obtained all he originally hoped
for. Tho results Of the first ballotings
showed that he would be unable to do what
he wished, namely. pass tho bill in the form
under which 1t was first submitted to tho
last Reichstag. Accordingly. before the
final elections took place. 1t was announced
that the Bundesrath. or Federal Senate.

Government pledged to Tariff Reform
and the gradual drawing near of the
time when the work of instituting the
reform must be begun, is sufficient in

Free Trade causes fear and trem.
bling throughout the land ;" but

Only Waiting.

England is only waiting to swamp
us with cheap goods. The Ways and
Means Committee of the House is
now engaged in hearing argument
and receiving suggestions in the prep.
aration of new tariff bill, which it
is expected will take the tariff from
a number Of articles that can only be
manufactured in this country at a
profit to the wage-worker and the
manufactures when protected. The
movements of this committee are very
carefully watched in England, espec.
tally by the papers, which are weep.
ing over the decadence of English in
dustries. Here. is an extract from
the London Economist, EUgland's s
leading financial paper:
at is lamentable to think that the
English iron and steel trade has made
no progress for several years past,
The general condition of affairs in
America, coupled with the uncertain.
ty as to when any change will be
made in the Mckinley tariff has a
very depressing effect So soon, how.
ever, as these changes do take place
we may expect some benefit accruing
to English trade"
Remark the expression $50 soon,
however, as these changes do take
place" When that time comes
England will swamp this country
with all kinds of manufactures, aud
to compete with her wages will have
to be reduced, aud that means more
misery to Americas workingmen.

THE reciprocity treaties negotiated

tory results. For instance, Cuba,

bic year, more than 2S2,54S barrels
of flour, while the average was not
one half that quantity, took 366,174
barrels for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1892, and for the first seven
months Of this year, 332, ,455 barrels
or at the rate of 500, ,47S barrels for
the year 1898. Cuba has also taken
100000 more in value in hog pro.
ducts for the first seven months of
this year than in the corresponding
months last year. Evidently the
Democratic Administration is wise in
abolishing the special statistical re.
port on this subject, as they would
only demonstrate the folly of the

treaties and threatening to abrogate
them.

craftsmanship by raiding the pensions
Of the Union soldiers who in war
for the preservation of the Union
were called upon to whip Hoke's peo
pie. This was Hoke's way Of getting
even, The Graud Army men natur.
ally do not like this raiding, and they
resent il in many ways, so vigorously,
too, that Hoke has been compelled TO
make a show of ceasing his raid.
The feature of the Grand Army pa.
rade, however, to which we allude, is
thus described in a dispatch to the
New York World, Democratic organ /:
"The Nation, (Illinois), Post kept
up an almost continuous chant from
the time it fell into line until it dis.
banded. The refrain iutimated the
willingness of the members to Hang
Hoke Smith on Sour Apple Tree
and the sentiment was repeatedly re.
warded with cheers from the specta
tors"
1t is noticeable that since the raid.
ing Of the crippled pensioners by
Hoke Smith the Union veterans seize
every opportunity to express their con.
tempt for him. Here, in the Indian.
apolis parade, was an excellent op.
portunity for them to show what they
thought of him, and tire people ap.
plauded and by their applause very
significantly gave the veterans to un.
derstand that they agreed with the
sentiment of hanging Hoke on sour
apple, tree. The cnly other party
who it was proposed to hang on a
sour apple tree was Que JEFF Davis,
long since dead aud filling traitors
grave, and it was ouly through the
mercy of some very much mistaken
people that he was not hanged in
reality. OF course the hanging of
Hoke is merely fgurative, but he is

One of the noticeable features OF
the Grand Army Encampment at
indianapolis was the comparative
smallness of the parade in proportion
to the attendance. This was explain.
ed by the fact that the veterans are
growing old rapidly and will never
be able to make the show on dress
parade they have been making at
past encampments. There was an.
other proof given at indianapolis OF
the increasing age of the ex.soldiers
and also that death is busy among
their numbers The report of the
Adjutant General again shows a de,
crease in the membership Of the or,
der. This has gone on steadily now fol
three years and the only inference i.
that death is rapidly making inroad'
upon the ranks Of the veterans
Taking the general course of nature
this is not strange, as it is nearly q
generation since most of them enlist

greet at the evidence that the nations
