Why Silver Has Fallen.
Baltimore sun.

Silver has dropped in value since lS13. jus
as many other commodities have dropped. be-
cause the supply Of IL has increased faster
than the domand. In 1873 the worlds pro.
duction OF silver was of the value of ISL, so,
600. In ls92, even when measured by its lower
price per ounce. 10 was Of the value of si06,
5000 or nearly two and half timos as
much. In 1870, three years before tho demone.
tization, which tho free silvoritos claim is
alone 10 blame for the fall in price, all the
mines in the world only yielded silver 20 the
value Of 5l,575,OO0, or only about ono.fourth
OF the value Of the silver supply Of lS92.
There Is no commodity whose production
can be multiplied by four and Its previous
price maintained, unloss the demand for IL is
also multiplied by four.

the public to the following extract from Chapter
s25 Of the Ordinances of the City OF Providence;
CHAPTER 625
section H. The officers and members OF the
Fire Department acting under the direction OF the

the materials collected or deposited are liable
TO cause fire, they shall order the tenant
occupant OF the place where they
are deposited or kept 10 remove them,
and IL such tenant or occupant negects or refuses
70 comply with such order. the said Board shall
cause such materials to be romoved at the expense
OF such tenant occupant. Whoever negects or

The Board earnestly request that the public will

RECORDER GoFF, the lawyer who got
elected to the best judicial Office i'm New
York on account of his talent for cross
examining the with esses before the Lex
ow committee last winter, has finally sue
ceeded in getting grip on large share
of the patronage of the Court OF General
Sessions. He has labored assiduously
for it. He has, in fact, done nothing Of
note since going on the bench except to
wrangle with the other judges over the
question of patronage.

mental and economic arguments we have
cited. The selection of words for reform
treatment is purely arbitrary, and IL they
are TO be accepted by the reason there
are many others that will at once apply for
similar treatment, and they cannot be
logically denied. The change in spelling
robs the language of force and historical
value, and makes many OF the words
comic, thus uniting them for serious
use.
While II cannot be denied that the for
nation OF the words they cite for treat
ment do suggest the sound given to the
words usually spelled, yet they do not
properly spell the words. Spelling is not
by tongue alone. The eye does the
lions share. II the word does not look
right it verify is not right. We
spell by sight, not by sound. The
The pronouncement of word is Sec
ondary act. 1t is spelled into our con-
ciousness by glance of the eye, and the
tongue gives it forth as it has found lodg-
ment in the brain.
The proposition to change the spelling of
words, except through the slow evolution
that has sanctioned many changes and is
always reconstructing language to fitly
express life, is like attempting to engraft
the skin of the lemon upon the body of
the orange.

SPELLING REFORM.

Changes in spelling words in common
use are constantly being proposed and
attempted. A few notifications have
crept into restricted use, to languish in a
few extremely knowing newspapers, like
the Springfield Republican, and attain a
certain pale popularity with the people
away from established custom. One now
and again runs against "catalog," and
wonders what sort OF a crank wrote it so.
Nearly half a century ago there was
issued "fonetic" text books far more radi-
cal than has been proposed these latter
years, since MIR. MELVILLE DEWEY tried
for time to spell his name DUI, but
promptly abandoned it when lucrative
librarianship was offered him with con-
dition requiring him to return to sanity
and custom In his spelling. Now there
is another attempt being made to induce
the adoption of reformed spelling by
means Of getting editors, authors and
teachers to pledge themselves to adopt
the spelling of certain words prescribed
by the American Pathological Association
and the Spelling Reform Association.
There are 300 words in the list now
offered, many of which are already ac-
cepted universally and are given in the
new spelling by the newer dictionaries.
We give below the most notable of the
changes suggested that are in the least

some OF these spellings are being taken
mp, as whisky" but most OF them seem
not only revolutionary but ridiculous.
There Is a certain sentiment connected
with the appearance of the words that
cannot be easily overcome. Witness the
English devotion to the SUI in color,
honor, etc. Nothing keeps it there but
sentiment, and so far are we from its
being dropped that it is today being re-
adopted by Americans writers and pub
fishers to a considerable extent We
learn words by their appearance-a visual
message TO the brain. We who have for
some years quilted school will never be
able TO picture "though" to our minds ex-
cept as n word OF six letters, with the
useless terminal OF ugh, no matter how
we may strive to convince ourselves that
tho is the more sensible spelling. Most
OF us, too, have other use for our time
than to go back TO our spelling books
and learn new orthoepy. Words wo
must use as clothes, or cloaks, to our
thoughts are well enough as they are.
They take their place naturally on the
tip % the tongue and they flow smoothly
and instinctively from the pen. Why
should we interrupt the course Of our
progression toward culture for the sake
OF changing the appearance OF the wrapper
I'm which culture Is transmitted 10 uss
There are good arguments against the
reformed spelling other than the senti.

would not listen to a sermon for half
an hour" his answer was, 1--WE may
thank heaven that we have not to
listen TO Mr.. Gladstone twice every
Sunday" But in the time when there
were no newspapers and books were
scanty the church was the place

who set forth his learning before his
