MAN A HABITUAL LIAR.
Excessive Use of Superlatives Dis
torts All His Statements.

Through it's emphasis of the super
lative our age is in danger of losing all
power to tell the TRUTH writes Rev.
Newell Dwight Hills D. D., in the
Ladies Home Journal" 1.-The modern
collegian has reahed such a state of
culture that the positive and compare
tive degrees are unknown 1t is no
longer possible for the school girl to
find either an adjective or an adverb to
express her ecstacy of feeling. Abstin-
ence and sobriety in speech are rapidly
passing away.
David Swing once expressed the fear
that through excess in the use of adj
JectiveS our generation would lose all
sense of proportion and symmetery in
the statement of facts. He noted that
the adjectives most loved by our age
are in themselves gross exaggerationS.
In studying the history of language he
found that very early men began to
say that Hthe sun went down in a bed
of gold; the moon turned all things to
silver; the eye darted forth flames; the
face Was brighter than the sum-. Hav
ing used such expressions for twenty
years man aWakenS to find himself a
habitual liar. We must also note that
the modern school of wit does not deal
in the pure, delicate humor of Sydney
Smith or Charles Lamb, but for it's eff
fectS depends upon gross eXaggerationS
and word pilings. Thus, not only the
playground and school rooms, but the
papers and books also, through extrav-
agances, are teaching men to strain
language to the very uttermost In
literature that style is best which has
most abstinence, forswearing adjec-
tives and adverbs, and dealing in the
slmplicities. That character also is
finest which is simple, and founded on
frankness and truthfulness."

The Democratic conference at Chi
cago has ended as it begun, with the
domination of Mr.. Bryan, and the
agreement to make an attack upon the
Administration along the whole line
Everything that has gone wrong, ac-
cording to these Democratic counsel
lors, is to be made a text for sermoniz-
ing. Under the pretense that the war
in the Philippines has not been dill
gently and wisely prosecuted and prop
erly conducted, demand is to be made
for its cessation and the surrender of
the Philippines to Agunaldo and his
associate traitors who sold out the FIJI
ipino cause to Spain for coin, took the
money and then Populated the con-
tract. All trust formations are to be
charged up to the account of the Re
publican party; the silver question Is
to be revived; and two millions of dol
lars are to be raised to prosecute the
campaign of obstruction. But then,
there is nothing new in all this. The
same elements have always been OBJ
structive and always will be. The
adopted policy will not win, however.
The corn crop of Nebraska has been
phenominally large, the song of the har-
vester is heard in Kansas; the mort
gage debt of the West has nearly dis
appeared; sixteen to one" has lost its
power to charm the voter; the nation
is engaged in suppressing an insurrec-
ton in territory it has legitimately ac-
quired, and national obligation and
honor will insist upon our succeeding
and retaining the soil we have pur-
chased with blood and coin. The Ad-
ministration-not free from errors, of
course, as who is-will be approved by
the people; the trusts will be dealt with
as is needful, and the Republican Con-
gress will be prompt to do in that re-
spect all that is proper and necessary to
be done and the Bryan democracy will
go to the wall next year as it did three
years ago. This is forecasting, but the
prophecy has the backing of reason and
logic.
