IAUD1NG THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
why the French Canadians Prefer Il TO
~ Their Own Language.

Their Own Language.
Everywhere In the United states,n
Father Chinlquy says, "thc children OF
French Canadians, as soon as they ac-
quire the English language ut school,
give up the use of French, except to
speak to their mothers. By this process
the French must rapidly disappear. It
Is the same here. a little girl came to
me this mornlng"-she was staying In
Montreal-"sent by a parent who had.
heard me preach and had promised to
come and see me. She spoke to me in,
English for some time, and when said
to her, Mails ne pouveZ-vous parler
Francals?' she replied, % mon Dleu,
cst-cc que ia parlep Anglais?' There Is
a reason for this" the old Frenchman
continued.
I recently read an article in a maya
zine about English the Universal Ian
gungc,' but the writer did not know
the true reason. l am In. the midst of 1t,
and l know. 1t Is because they can eXs
press themselves with greater ease in
English than in French. !"
And NJ. NCfiniquy went on to make
the startling avowal. says the "Contem-
porary Review":"When i write n book.
and j have written many, i write it In,
English and then translate 1t into
French. i find It more easy to do 1t

ThefRegister puts in. bill for $3.50 for

the county commissioners refuse to or
der the bill paid. The commissioners
think the charge is exorbitant. II the
bill be reasonable 1t should be paid. II
the. charge Is sexorbitant the commits
sloners should protect the county by
persisting in the refusal to order pay
ment.
The delinquent tax~list occupied 400.
newspaper Squares in the Register
and vas published in that paper six
times. For this the Register asks $3.50.
In 1S93:the DELINQUENT tax list occupied
656 newspaper squares" in the Intelll-
gencer and was published six times. For
this the I~ntelllSencer charged $3.50,
The amount. of space occupied in the
Register was 1913 per cent less, the
amount OF money demanded 66.G6 per
cent more. For a third less space the
Register: asks .two-thirds more money.
HThc fhteltgenneer charged the county at
Z the'rate of 6s.6 cents per Square" The
Register chargesffo the same kind of
advertising 81: IS per square" just
about double.
Unless the Register can show n good
reason for this. its bill should not be
paid. AT the rate charged by the Intel

have been 1886 IA. The apparent over,
charge by the Register is s413 Sc.
Did tho Register think 1t was in dam
