OUR OWN LANGUAGE.

The proper study of the Eng
1ish language is urged upon our
young men and young women,
upon our boys and girls, not as a
mere accomplishment, as the
word is generally understood,
but because the correct use of
our common language is a ne
cessity in everyday life.
To properly express ourselves,
and to understand the express
sions of others, is one of the
most useful of arts. Each day
witnesses pain, worry, loss and
sorrow caused by 1nisexpressions
and neutrality-suspicious.. Many
of our law suits are due to defc-
iency in English OH the part of
Our lawmakers. The laws are
not plain and contentious arise.
III our daily contact with each
other, the very general careless
ness that prevails among the peo-
pie in respect to the use of their
own language, is too evident.
In a land of serfs, such a condi-
ton is exeusab1e, but in a ma

'tion of kings, such ignorance of
the ordinary rules of grammar
and rhetoric should not be a
kingly prerogative.
In our public schools, exercises
in language have been more of
recreation than a study, and the
most important lesson has been
the most neglected. The colleges
are subject to severe criticisms in
this matter. John Brisbon
Walker, editor of the Cosmopoli-
tan magazine, said recently:
"'The editor of a magazine to
which from twelve to fourteen
thousand manuscripts are sub
mitted each year, has all oppor-
tunity to appreciate the training
which the ordinary college man
receives in his own language.
1t is freely confessed by the pro-
fessors in charge of the leading
universities that they cannot OBJ
tain for their young men suffl-
cient time from other studies to
do justice to English. Yet
nearly every graduate has oc-
casion to suffer both 1nortihca-
ton and loss during his life be-
cause of the deficiencies thus
caused"
College professors complain,
with reason, that they find it
necessary, generally, to instruct
the students of English in those
things that should have been
learned at the public schools.
The work of the public schools
is of more Importance than that
of the higher institutions, for
they are the fountain of learning
for the great majority of our cit
liens.
In the recent local teachers
institute, Prof. Holm admirably
discussed this subject. He not
only criticised the useless and
even harmful methods that many
teachers employ, but presented a
plan of instruction in English
that should be employed in every
public school.
Prof. Holm believes in natur-
al methods, discarding meaning
less forms, and observing princi-
pies rather than mere rules. One
of our greatest mental attributes,
imagination, is too often wholly
ignored by the teacher, and is
dulled when it should be culti-
vated. Miss Crawford, who
heartily approved Prof. Holn's
suggestions, stated that in her
work one of the greatest difficult
ties is the apparent lack of imag-

THE NEW LAW.

The United States; beyond
question, needs tariff law that
protects the treasury. The Will
SON bill, as a revenue measure,
disappointed its espousers, and it
seems strange that any number
of congressman should vote to
perpetuate it. Yet, with but a
few exceptions, the combined
republican opposition in the
house voted to retain the Wilson
bill. The democratic party and
the populist party are on record
as fayoring a deficiency in the
national treasury.
The Dingley bill is revenue
measure and a protective meas
TIRE, as the term is understood in
American politics. 1t protects
American capital and American
labor. 1t says to the manufac
turer, "You can sell the product
of your mills, without the COM
petition of foreign pauper- made
goods" 1t tells the working
man, "You can find employment
at civilized wages. You are pro-
tected from the pauper and slave
competition of the old world. "
The farmers are told, "You will
have a home market for your
products and protection against
the influx from foreign countries
of hops, wool, prunes, eggs and
other articles"
Laws do not make prosperity,
but such a law greatly tends to
keep our homemade prosperity
at home.
Prospects for the passage OF
the bill are very favorable in the
senate. President Mckinley, OF
course, will approve of it, and
the Wilson bill, wrung from a
dissolving and factionful party,
full of incongruities and Unequal
tiles, and disapproved, in its
amended form, by the strong
man who made its passage pos
sib1e, will pass into history as
discarded failure.

THE LADY AND THE LAW.

There seems to be something
of persecution in the continued
assaults upon the peace and Sc
curity of Honorable Eliza Ann
Sanders Holcomb, of Monroe
; precinct.
Madam Holconb is not a
JOY forever. She pays no un
necessary homage to Moses tab
lets of stone and is more thought
full of her own privileges than of
those of others. But these
things give no warrant for recent
trespassing upon her temper and
her land. Madam Holcomb is
an American citizen and is en-
titled to the laws protection,
and should be safe from legal
persecution.
Every year the lady is fined
and bound over to await the ac-
ton of the grand jury, and sew
eral times each year. She is al
ways acquitted in the circuit
court. But these cases cost
money. Eliza Ann Sanders
Holcomb and Benton county
taxpayers have to pay for the
fun that enterprising Monroeites
stir up over Eliza. This is get
ting monotonous to both Eliza
and the taxpayers.
The acts for which Madam
Sanders is so often taken into
court are, curiously enough, al
ways occurring on her own farms.
Troublers come to Eliza, and the
troubles, not the lady, should be
visited by the law.
The recent trouble, on account
of which the Monroe Sampsoness
is now under bonds, arose from
her efforts to keep trespassers off
her land. Freighters, in spite OF
her prohibition, passed through
her farm, because such a route
was shorter than the county road.
She felled trees, plowed furrows
and nailed up gates, but the
teansters drove through laid
fences and around distractions.
The lady then threatened to "cut
out their livers." The courage
Gus and gallant gentlemen o.
the reins straightway had her ar
rested. The court should direc
Eliza to carry out her threat.
