Nearly a century ago the incompar-
able parson, Sydney Smith, was
amused by tne,enthusiasm Of d benevol-
ent old gentleman VINO was engaged in
the constructor of universal lam
guage. The idea, however, is even
older; but it was not until about a
dozen years ago that a serious attempt
was made to introduce an art fetal
language. The failure of VolapuA
| was amazingly sudden, at time When
its publications were most numerous
and when a number of persons in
every country had mastered its difficult
ties. However, in SPITE OF the in
evitable failure of an artificial Ian
yuage, there is 60 reason TO doubt that
eventually mankind will use a single
tongue. The fact that it will facilitate
commercial intercourse is enough to
insure the gradual extension of a COM
mon language. Unless there is an i'm

hat the ultimate universal speech will
De English, however modified by local
| influences-an improved Eng fish in
many ways, but still essentially the
| Eng lish language of Shakespeare and
Milton. 1t is not merely, or chiefly,
the qualities of the tongue itself, its
| hexioility, and particularly the ease
with which it lencs itself to amend
ment without any loss Of radical
strength, but industrial and CONNER
cial energy and the physical vigor or
virility and the Intellectual largeness
of the English stock which warrants
| the belief that no special cOnglomerate
Volupuk, but the English, will be the
language of the future. The Latin
element in our speech and the Norman
element in our character gives to one a
distinction and command which it
orr ginaliy lacked, and saves the other
from the dizziness that is the tendency
of the pure Germanic nations.
Only eighty years ago, within the
time of men still living, there were in
all the world but thirty millions of peo-
pie who spoke English. Today, the
people who use the language as their
own, in varying degrees of excellence

other words, in spite of wars and pes

FREldHTs SAVED TO THE WEST.

Some idea of the great advant- age that will accrue to the pro- ducers of the west, from the open ing of through lines, such as the Port Arthur Route, from the north to the Gulf in the south, may be gathered from the follow ing statement of difference in rates secured to the Gulf and those charged by the eastern lines:
 An idea of the competition be- tween the Gulf and tho North At lantic ports may be had from the fact that on a shipment of 400 tons of pig lead from Kansas City to Manchester, Eng, the consignees secured through rate of 20 cents per hundred pounds, which is ex- actly the same rate as the Joint Traffic Association roads exact on the same freight from East St. Louis to New York.
 "On grain it is reported that through rates of 34 to 36 cents from Kansas City to Liverpool arc being quoted via Galveston, tho inland rail proportion from Kansas City via Baltimore and Newport News, the two cheapest Atlantic ports, being about 27 cents. On flour traffic for export the Gulf lines from this territory have been quoting rates varying from 3 cents to Is cents under the rates named by the North At lantic route.

TEMPERANCE AND GOOD ORDER.

No state, no community, no people can afford to give en- couragement to distilleries or countenance saloons at the cx- pense of law, order and good gov ernmcnt 1t is better by far that the streets of any city be orderly and all those who walk them pro tected in their personal rights, even though business may appear rather dull, than that drunken brawls, and bloody fights, ending at times in fatalities, be of com mon occurancc and accounts there- of, as such will be, heralded abroad through the daily press.
 Under the head line "The Trouble in Kentucky" The New York World gives the following very excellent advice:
 In explanation of the disturb anc of the last two weeks, Ken tucklans say that their courts are too slo V and that too many crimi- nal have been pardoned after conviction. No doubt this is true, but it is also true that while dis tillcries in moderation are q good thing, too many of them will ac- count for q great deal that could not be accounted for in any other way.
 Kentucky has glorious eli :. mate. There is no clearer water, or bluer skies, or greener grass, or ssbetter. naturedo people on earth, but no state can afford to make its distilleries so plentiful and it's applejaek so good that the reputation of it whiskey will be able to forge far ahead of it's good name for peace and quietness.
 If the courts of Kentucky will enforce the laws, if Kentucky Governors will stop pardoning respectable" criminals, no doubt much will be accomplished. But if Kentuckians will close 60 per cent. of their distilleries and put 90 per cent. of their mint beds out of commission, there will be very much less for courts and Cover nors to do.

" Many of the lobbyists are black mailers as we'll a corruptionists, robbing their employers, as well as the people.

This corporation seeing that this bill has been in troduccd and knowing that this party boss and lobbyist has ''in- fuence" in the legislature, em- ploys him to prevent the bill from becoming a law, and by these methods the lobbyist, blackmailcr and corruptionist, secures and holds his position as a paid lobby ist.
