HOUSE AND SENATE


er the republican senators having a piu-
rality between the majority of the senate
should attempt a reorganization with the
republican officers and republican chair
men of committees. II was evident that
the prevailing feeling favored republican
organization and some strong speeches
were made. notably by Mr.. Davis OF Min
nesota and Mr.. Aldrich OF Rhode Island.
urging that there would be no combina-
ton or compromise with any element
outside the republican ranks. This APP
pearsd TO voice the general view of the
senators and no opposition speeches were
made. The question arose. however. as
to whether the test OF strength should be
made by securing the committees or on
the choice of a president pro TEN. In or
der to present this issue. Mr.. Hoar moved
the appointment of a committee or COM
mittees to have charge of a movement to
secure committee reorganization ON party
lines Mr. Hale offered an amendment for
q test on the choice OF a president pro
temsfIn the informal discussion following
Mr.. Frye's name was mentioned as the
probable candidate for president pro tenn.
Some senator's raised the point. however.
that the president pro TEN could not be
elected while the presiding ofiicer was
present. and acting under the senate
rules. 1t was finally decided that no vote
should be taken at present. and Messrs.
Hoar and Hale withdrew their motion.
The understanding was that a definite
line OF action, would be agreed on at the
meeting Wednesday. following the ses-
sion of that day. The principal reason Of
the withdrawal of the resolutions for the
appointment Of caucus committee by
the chair was the discovery of the fact
that there was a large element in the
caucus opposed to the selection OF the
committee by appointment. 1t is now I'M
derstood that when the resolution Is re-
newed 1t VIII be antagonized by a substi-
tute providing for the selection of the
committee by the caucus.

MISS SIMPSONS ECHO LOST

People who attended the presentation
of The Passing Show Sunday night
and who had been there on previous
nights wondered why the boy who
sings the echo to Miss Cheridah Simp-
son in the Paradise Alley song from
the gallery did not respond as usual.
Miss Simpson, after finishing the cho-
rus. placed her hand to her ear as
usual, waiting for the refrain but there
was no refrain. She was evidently
confused, but sang the refrain herself
with the best grace possible.
Some of the spectators thought that
possibly Jimmy" had conscientious
scruples against singing on Sundays.
Others thought that he might not have
got back from the football game yet.
or might have fallen by the wayside.
or been CARRIED off to one of the
clubs or somewhere else by the boys
about town.
None of these explanations was the
true one however. The lad is about IL
his refrain Is always greeted had sue
ceeded in swelling his head just as II
swells the heads of more mature ac-
tors occasionally. Jimmy came to the
conclusion that he was the whole
show, and the attention which he re-
ceived, not only from the applauding
audience at the opera house but on the
streets generally confirmed him in the
idea that without his services THE
Passing Show would bust up.
Jimmy went to the conductor of the
orchestra just before the show started
Saturday night, and said:
See here, Mr.. Conductor, wants
you to play dat tune note lower.

II will not" replied the conductor.
TT is all right and you can and will

well. l just don't" returned Jimmy.
II know what / want and II you don't
come down a bar / don't sing. / goes
on a strike right dere. and don't you
forget it,"
Jimmy was up In the gallery all
right as usual The orchestra played
the tune as 1t always has, Miss Cheri-
dab Simpson charmed the audience
with Paradise Alley" and listened for
the refrain. but there was a painful and
awkward silence from the gallery.
Miss Simpson herself caught the re-
frain two or three notes from the
start and finished tt up all right.
Jimmy was still on a strike yester-
day but went along with the company
to Helena. The management Is under
contract to restore Jimmy to his par
ents In New York city. and must take
him along but will probably hold out
his salary If he continues on a strike
Singing the refrain is all Jimmy has
to do in the show.

San Francisco. Dec. 2.-The rate war

ticularly the business of the Pacific
Mail steamers. The Umatdlla started
for Puget sound last night with a big
load of passengers. among whom were
80 japanese. bound for their native land
via Victoria and the Canadian Pacific
steamers. The Japanese claimed that
they had been discrimenaned against
hitherto by the Pacific Mail company in
favor of the Chinese. The Pacific Mail
had been charging but $50 for Chinese,
while the Japanese were forced TO pay

Canadian Pacific steamers is but SAL,

OUR TWO LANGUAGES.
One Usad In Conversation, the Other In

One Usad In Conversation, the Other In
Written Eaei;sh.
A writer In the Educational Review
prefaccs an article on English litcra-
ture in the college By the-detlaration:
1T is now, think, generally admitted
that the first principle Of rhetoric Is,
write as you speak. The pedantie, de-
clamatory, Latinized diction that pre-
vailed in literary circles a hundred
years ago is no longer the standard
kings English. In order to write we'll,
:tsasnecessary HFst to speak wela-that
is, tosspeak naturally, correctly and
strongly"
This Is cieverssad cunning, as well
as complete begging Of the whole ques-
ton. The assumption that we, Eng
lish and Americans, speak as we write,
and that the ordinary rules OF rhetoric
and grammar run through and under
lie oral, as we'll as written language Is
IN assumption which cannot be verified
by evidence The man who says don't"
and cant" and isn't" aud who talks
about 'shiln and me" when he means
''he and l." or who says done" for
ssdid" or ''secn'' for saw" can take his
pen or pencil in band and write Eng
lish which is unexceptionablef from the
standpoint or person, mood or tense,
the fact being that written language 10
refinement and, possibly, an improve
mont on spoken language, but at the
same time as different from it as the
dialect Of Yorkshire from that of Corn
wall, or the talk of Yankeeland from
the patois of the uplands Of North
Carolina or the lowlands Of Louisiana.
The writer Of the article in question
has fallen into the rhetorical error OF,
as the vernacular has it, putting the
cart before the horse. Every written
language, protected and fenced in as It
may be by rhetorical fences and
hedges. each Of which is bristling with
rules and safeguardcd by exceptions to
those rules. IS only development from
a spoken language, and whether it be
an improvement or not is an open ques-
tion At all events it must be apparent
to every student of language or phil
ology that we have, at least in Eng.
lish two separate and distinct Ian
guages, and that if we should attempt
to follow the dictum Of the writer in
the Educational Review, and write as
we speak, our contributions to current
literature would be speedily side
tracked into the editors waste-paper
basket It might be better for the
:eenius Of the English language, and
for thespreservation of its integrity,
that we should speak as we write, but
to adopt the converse proposition and
write as we speak seems the very
climax OF absurdity to those who know
and appreciate the distinction between
English "as she is wrote" and "as she
is spoke"

An exchange tells that good story
was heard the other day CT father
and mother who were trying to find
names for their twin babies. who,
BY the way,were girls. 1t was decided
that the father must name them. After
casting about and finding no names
that exactly suited him he determined
to end the strain on his mind and
named them Kate and Duplicate. IN
the course Of time another psir Of twins
came and they were boys This was
the husbands opportunity to get even
and he wanted his wife to christcn the
boys Imagine his feelings when the
mother one day told him she had named
them Pete ana i.cpeat. But when the
third pair came the father grew fright

with the inconvenient refinement which
comes from long line Of gentle an
ccstors, the man had developed the
quality known as cheek. so he and the
dog sat down to eat supper for which
they could not pay.
The room was full of floungers and the
stranger took conspicuous seat.

hear the dog talk.
The ventrtloquist feigned indifference
by eating with avidity, while the land
lord was evidently considering some
thing. HIS oogitation resulted in his
offering the stranger three hundred
dollars for his wonderful talking dog
The vcntriloquist appeared to hesitate
a moment, then said, abruptly: "Yes,
you may have him for three hundred
dollars"
When the money was paid and the
ventriloquist was about to leave he
turned to the dog, pattcd him affection
