triumph will be sung
BY some yet unmoulded tongue


Far on in summers that shall not see.
But so long such novelties appear comely
and respectable only to a little minority of lin
guistic adventures, institutions of learning and
governmental agencies should leave them to
their fate whatever 1t may be. If there is need
OF them they are pretty to survive and
flourish without the formal approval which their
manufacturers solicit. In the mean time so far
as we are aware no authority to declare them
valid and command their use has been legiti-
matey vested anywhere.
The incident recalls the recent determination
of the committee of the United States Senate
which has our new insular possessions under it's
special care TO adhere to the spelling Porto
Rico" In spite of the Board on Geographic
Names and the President himself We do not
suppose that the Committee on Pacific Islands
and Puerto Rico will be able to carry its point
but we have no doubt that a great many per-
sons share its rebeilious temper and sympathize

universal use in this country as il had been the

On the other hand, the passion for expanding
the language with new vocables is most de-
plorable, and all who write and speak the noble
English tongue owe a heavy debt of ingratitude
10 the makers of dictionaries. These indefatiga-
BILE compilers who invariably begin by appro-
priat1ng the results of all previous labor in the
same field, appear TO think that their highest
obligation is TO ransack the purlieus of speecb

largest possible number of words that otherwise
would perish in the gutter. 1t is really an abom-

THE CLAYTON-BULWER TREATY.
A DIPLOMATIC BLUNDER CORRECTED

A DIPLOMATIC BLUNDER CORRECTED.
From The New-York Times.
Secretary Hay is entitled to the congratulations
of his friends and the thanks OF his countrymen
for his successful correction Of a blunder in our
diplomacy made half a century ago. During almost
the whole of that long period the Clayton Bulwer
Treaty. ratified in 1885, has been regarded in this
country q mistake. In asserting to that conven-
ton we put Great Britain IN position to say
that our Monroe Doctrine must be OF small
count.

ator Allison, who We're on guard at
that time, got all the politics they
wanted for some years to come. The
awful suspense was kept up for six
weeks. until the deadlock in the house
was broken by agreement, the house
was organized and Senator Allison was
finally elected and the party was
saved. That was a time that tried
mems sous-those who had souls they
were not willing to sell. Not man
could be spared and not one was lost,
though some of them came mighty
near getting away on several occasions.
The necessity of keeping watch of GER
tain men and knowing every minute
where they were, the general vigilance
that had to be exercised TO keep every
man in his place and prevent some
careless man from throwing everything
away by being absent, strained the
nerves of the republican leaders as the
present contest has never done and
never will, for it Will be soon over.

ROOSEVELT ON TRUSTS.

New York Governor Discusses the
subject in Ills Message.
New York, Jan. Ex-Governor Roose-
yelt in his annual message to the New
York legislature today treats at con-
siderable length the subjects of modern
industrial conditions and trusts. He ex-
presses the opinion that a large ma
jority of fortunes that now exist in this
country We're amassed, not by injurng
mankind, but as an incident to the con-
fering of great benefits on the commu-
nifty He urges the necessity of dis
tingushing between such and aggrega-
tions of capital being exercised in a
wrongful and oppressive way. He says
great care should be exercised in the
enactment Of remedial legislation, lest
its effects should be the cause of more
harm than the evil sought TO be cured.
He holds that many of them are the
result Of modern Industrial conditions
and to absolutely prohibit them would
be to stop the wheels of progress. For
the regulation of trusts he urges pub
licity in order to prevent over-capitali-
zation, unscrupulous promotion. unfair
competition. oppression of wage earn
ers and undue advance in prices.

LONDON, Aug. "a a. m.-Beyond the
ofacial news given out yesterday the
morning papers contain no direct infor-
nation of Importance from China.
Thanks to the dispatches of Sir Claude
Macdonald and Admiral Bruce there is a
general disposition to take a more hope
ful view of the situation. The report Of
the appointment of Field Marshal Count
Won Waldersee as commander in chief Of
the international forces meets with gem
eral approval
The Rome correspondent of the Daily
Mail announces the reception there of dis
patches to the Italian minister in PekIn
asserting that he left Pekin on July 81
presumably for Tien Tsln This how
ever, is so utterly at variance with the
action and intentions of the other minis
ters heard from that 1t seems almost In
credible. If true, 1t opens an interesting
neld OF speculation concerning the fate
OF the Italian report.
The text of the edict of Aug. q author
izing the escort of the ministers from
Pekin to Tien Tsin, given out at the
Chinese legation, says in part: ''In view
OF the existence of hostilities between
certain Chinese rebels and foreign DOW
efs, caused by the Christian feeliESs of
the Chinese people, we have afforded
reasonable protection to the foreign rep
resentatives In Pekin, and the Tsune-I H.
Yaman has sent to the legations letters
OF inquiry and proposals for their safe
conveyance, under escort, to Tien Tsin.
In order to avoid apprehension of further
attack from rebels before the complete
restoration of peace and order in the capI-
tai
We have now. on the advice of Ia
Hung Chang and Ldun Kun VI, TO author
ize Yunk Lu to escort them to Tsien Tsin
II there be any rebels en- route trying to
endanger the safety of the party, the Of
hcials have to destroy the rebels at
once"
The Chinese legation believes that the
members of the foreign legations have
not yet left Pekin, but that they will do
SO and declares that the edict would not
have been issued had not the foreign
ministers signtfied willingness to &C
cept the escort.
The Shanghai correspondent Of the
Daily News wiring yesterday says:
United States Consul Goodnow opposes
Admiral Seymours intention to land 5000
troops on the ground, that such an act
would not be warranted by the circum.
stances and would be likely to create
trouble. M. Bezauere, the French consul.
agrees to the arrangement. but says that
If the British land forces the French will
do likewise. The Austrians also will land
men. My personal opinion is that the
landing OF troops here at the present
would be a grave mistake"
The Daily Chronicle, commenting upon
American criticism OF tie character of
the Chinese news, printed In some Lon
don dailies, admits that the charges are
only too true and that the practices Of
certain papers In this respect are opposed
to the best traditions of British Journal
ism. 1t joins In the American protest
against trashy sensationalism
Almost all the news in this mornings

comes either from Washington or direct
from British officials.
