The Basque, Which Con enses HALF

Score Of Words IN One. I
In place OF infection, the Basones
makes use largely of the so-called prin-.
ciple of agglutinati Ion. The different
meanings are expressed by the CON-
pounding OF several words into one, a
device not unknown. to be sure, in
Arabian tongues; s but IN the Basque.
this is carried much further, says an
exchange. The verb habitually in
cludes all pronouns, adYerbs and other
,,llied parts Of speech. The noun COM
prehends the propositions and adjec-
tives in a like manner. AS an exam
pie Of the terrific comp1exity possible
as q result, Balde gives fifty forms in
the third person singular Of the pres
ent indicative Of the regular verb ito
give" alone. 0 Another classical exam
pie of the effect Of such agglutination
occurs in the Basque word meaning
the lower field OF the high hill Of
Azjicuelta," which runs Azpilcuelarga-
raycosaroyarenbe reco1arrea. This sim
pie phrase is an even match for the
Cherokee word instanced by Whit
ney: WinitaWtigegina liskawlungtana-
neletisesti, meaning they will by this
time have come to he end OF their ia
.vorable) declaration to you and me-"
It justifies also the proverb among the
French peasants that the devil studied
the Basque Language. seven years and
only learned two words. The problem
is not rendered easier by the fact that
very little Basque literature exists in
the written form; that the pronuncia-
ton is peculiar; and that the language,
being spoken one, thereby varies
from village to village. There are in
the reighborhood of twenty-five dis
tinct dialects in all. No wonder GER
tain traveller is said to have given UP
the study of it in despair, claiming
that its words were all written Solo
mon and pronounced Nebudchadnez-

A Quick Retort.

The Duke of Leeds, it is said, will
probably be the next governor general
Of Canada. He :excels at repartee. The
duke, when he was in parliament as
the Marquis Of Carmart then, was the
youngest member in the commons, and
the youngest looking until he grew a
beard. It is told Of him that on the
day of his election some one asked
him: Say, boy, does your mother

miliarizing themselves with some
Maryland history that is not all found
in books. 1t is, also, a reason for just
pride, that the original question is
gradually being reversed. So many
great names were suggested that the
problem will soon be, to determine
who is not worthy such a statute.
Among those mentioned by the var
ious correspondents in yesterdays
sam, are: Cecil Calvert, Thomas
Johnson, Charles Carroll, of Carroll
ton, Roger b. fancy, Samuel Chase,
stephen p. Decatur, William Pinkney,
Revedy Johnson, John Eager Howard,
Luther Martin, Edgar Allen Poe,
Francis Scott Key, Charles Wilson
Peale, and Col. Moses Rawlings.
From such a galaxy who can pick
out the brightest stars? Justice can
not be done save by the erection of a
monument on which all of these in
tellectual giants and heroes, shall be
inscribed. Or if two be finally selected
then Maryland should erect a statuary
hall of her own, in which the counter
feits in marble or in oil may be placed.
Why not place in the National Capt.

Free Silver in Peru.

The friends of the free-silver cham
pions ought to keep the newspapers
away from them. Hardly z day passes
without some news that is sure to
wound their feelings. Yesterday it
was an account of the awful expert
ences the Government and the people
of Peru are having with their silver
! coinage.
That is the only coinage they have
| down there, and practically the only
sort of money in the country. The
standard coin is a sol, which ought to
| be worth about dollar, according to
weight, but it has been going down,
| down until for several years it has
| been worth less than half a dollar
And lately it has got into the habit
of falling below even the market value
of the silver it contains, because the
merchants and others Of the "creditor
class" insist on charging premium
! for risk from fluctuations.
The government has stopped the
minis and has passed laws that saw
ageIy interfere with personal liberty.
But all efforts to relieve the debtor
class are in vain. The tricky sol
keeps right on robbing the poor and
all those who are in debt and aiding
the ''creditor class to grow rich by
eXtortion.
All of this confusion and injustice
and suffering might have been averted
and would be stopped if Peru would
obey the fundamental law of money
that the stamp on a coin must stand
for an honest value, and not for a
theory or a threat or a subsidy of sill
| Ver-mine owners.

SOMEBODY with a good memory
has taken occasion to remind Ex-
President Cleveland and the public
who read his scOld at the Republican
party because of it's prOmptness in
carrying out its pledges with refer
ence to tariff legislation, of the terri
bic experience of the people of the
United States during the IS months
in which his own party delayed its
tariff legislation. This reminder was
brought forth by Mr.. Cleveland's
New York speech, in which he criti-
cised the Republican leaders for their
hot haste in taking up tariff legis-
lation. The Is months which elapsed
between Mr.. Cleveland 5 Inauguration
in 1898 and the enactment of his free
trade tariff law included more than
20, Geo failures with liabilities aggre-
eating more the five hundred million
dollars; the closing down of over 500
banks; the appointment Of receivers
for about 40 railroads, whose indebted
ness amounted to billion and half
dollars, and strikes and lock-outs cost
ing the workingmen engaged forty
five million dollars i'll wages lost.
The total record of the Is months
includes strikes in New York and
Michigan in March, 1898; strikes in
Chicago in April strikes and bank
failures in Illinois and Ohio in Nav:
runs on savings banks in Western
States in June; suspension of work in
mines and numerous bank failures
throughout the West in July; failures
in New York and Chicago and smaller
cities, followed by riots in New York,
Kansas and elsewhere, in August;

quent riots in September; railroad

pect of electing another Republican
member of Congress from that section
of the State is not good. 1t is said that
the Eastern Shore went Republican
because of the Democratic contention
on the money question in the last
campaign, and that should the money
question be eliminated from the next
election the Eastern shore will be in
doubt. The prospects of Democratic
success in the first district in the next
election will certainly urged as a rea-
son why the internal revenue collec-
tOrship should be given to some other
district
1t will also be urged now that Sena-
tor Wellington has selected Mr.. Sloan
for the sub-treasurership, that the col
lectOr of the port should not be taken
from the sixth district, and that the
house members will be prepared to
urge that, unless the collectorship be
the only office given the sixth district
in the future distribution of patron
age, it should go elsewhere This will
probably bring out a number of can
didates for the position from other
dictrictS.

The Greek government has, it
seems, at length made up its mind to
accept the good offices of the powers
on the terms they prescribed - the
immediate withdrawal of the Greek
troops from Crete and the abandon
ment of all pretensions of sovereignty
over that island. The powers will
now mediate" That is TO say act as
a go-between for Greece and Turkey
and ascertain from the latter on what
conditions Greece may obtain peace.
If Turkey is too severe, the powers
will seek to mitigate her demands.
An armistice will be sought, but mill
tary operations will continue some
days longer, it is thought, in Thes-
sally, since Edhem Pasha is now clos
ing in upon Domokos and hopes soon
to capture a large part of the Greek
army at DomokOs and AlnyrOs. If
Greece accepts Turkeys terms
promptly, peace will be speedily
reached. AS Turkey holds Thessaly,
the revenues of that province will, it
is believed, be demanded in payment
of Turkeys war expenses.
