A VINDicTIVE MINORITY.

Because the Democratic Council
men, with the assistance of Mr.. Sor-
rick, the Republican member from
the Second ward, voted to do away
with the Office of Superintendent of
Streets-thuS. according to the esti-
mate of Mr.. Paul. saving the city
$1,000 Il year-the Republican mi
nority. in order to get even. intro
duced ordinances to do away with
the offices of Police Prosecutor. May
or's Clerk. Deputy City Clerk and
even that of Police Sergeant All of
these offices. with one exception,
were created by Republican Coun-
ellis. While under Republican ad-
ministration of the last six or eight
years, the offices were filed, for the
most part, by favorites of the local
Republican Machine, and no Repub-
lican Councilman was ever heard to
lift his voice in favor of doing away
with them. But now that the city
has Democratic administration.
the case is different.
Mayor Young issued a sweeping
challenge to the Republican Council
men Monday night, when, after
reminding them that the offices they
were so anxious To abolish had
been created by Il Republican Coun-
ell, he said:
Now my friends, one of two
things iS certain: When these
offices We're created by the Repub-
lican Councilmen. they either
thought they We're necessary
adjuncts to the'carrying Oh of the
city government. or else they
created them for the purpose of
providing places for political
henchmen. and consequently
looted and robbed the treasury
without warrant. If the first is
true-that is that they were
necessary, it is equally true now
under n Democratic adminiStra-
ton. IF the second is true-that
is, that they robbed and looted
the treasury for the sake of
political favoriteS, and they will
mere anu now dchnOWleuge Inc
truth of this-the Democrats will
cheerfully and willingly agree
to join them in aboliShing these
Offices
OF course the Republican Council
men made no attempt to answer this
challenge and it will be ignored by
their local organ, but until it receives
the attention il deserves the Demo-
cratic Councilmen are under no
obligation to accede to the unreason-
ity.

A DIVERSITY OF TONGUES.
The Many Languages That Are Spo-
ken In the British Isles.

Perhaps 10 many people it will be a
great surprise to learn that Il very con-
siderable percentage of the native born
inhabitants of the British isles cannot
speak English.
Naturally, the vast majority do Use
it as the language of their birth. but in
Wales there are as many as sos, 03n
persons who speak only Welsh, the
mother tongue of the principality.
Again, in the highlands of Scotland
Gaelic is the colloquial language of 43, =
s3S persons, who are able to speak
nothing else In Ireland 32, 121 SONS of
Erin can speak only Erse, the native
Irish tongue.
That Erse is being displaced by the
tongue of the sister isle is made evident
by the fact that the Rev. Joseph Bos-
worth, writing in 1913, gave Irish rs
the commonly spoken tongue of nearly
3, 600, 600 inhabitants. At that time
Welsh was spoken by 900 200 per-
sons
Strangely enough while in Wales
fewer people speak both English and
Welsh than Welsh alone, in Scotland
almost five times as many people use
both languages as those who speak
Gaelic only, and in Ireland the proper
tion is still greater, being 20 speaking
both to one who is able to speak Irish
only
Manx is spoken i'll the Isle OF Man.
The population of the island is %, 59S.
The people are Of Celtic extraction. with
an intermixture of Norwegian The is
land was under the rule of Norway
from SO to 1868 A. D. Both Manx and
English are used in the PRONUNCIATION
of any new law in the island.
The Channel islands have a popula-
tion of about %, 600, and the language
spoken is French. Thus six languages
are used in the British isles.

Is neither Democratic nor a sound husi-
ness proposition, but Is in fact directly op-
posite to both. I, wftr many others, &C.
cepted the platform of 1896, not because Of
that declaration. but Notwithstanding it,and
at this time it seems proper for me to enter
as I now do, my protest as q Democrat
against REPETITION of that mistake.
IF the leaders VINO will control the next
national Democratic convention insist upon
it's declaring that the doctrine of 16 to is
and promulgated oy Democrats ask 70 be
next national campaign. 1t is not my in
Democratic party. It's principles have been
until the time arrives when this grievous
vail. 1 make no protest against the rest of
the platform Of 1896, and for Mr. Bryan. the
nominee for president at that time. I have
the very highest respect, knowing he is a
sincere. honest and fearless man."
The Peoples Party was the first to de-
mand the restoration of silver to it's old
place; and it looks now as if it would
have the field to itself in 1900. Every
where the Democrats are turning their
backs on the issue which came SO near
giving them victory in 1896. Even Bryan
has two words to say for anti-expansion
where he has one to say for free silver.
