guage degenerated, until now the Flem-
ings. no longer being accustomed TO pure
Dutch, wish to raise the dignity of their
dialect by calling it a language
Holland has literature of its own
There are Dutch poets, novelists and his
torians, whose works have been trans
lated into nearly every European tongue.
Flanders. until fifty years ago, had
neither poet, novelist nor historian, and
it was only as recently as 1897 that Hen
dirk Conscience began to write for the
people of Flanders. He wrote well and was
talented, though he wrote in the Flemish b
tongue. in order that peope might read,
for the Dutch of Flanders had become so
corrupt that the Flemings were unable to
read their mother tongue and so had no
literature for themselves.
others followed in the wake of Con-
science but even now the Flemings can
boast of but few Gtterateurs of merit and
can show but very small library of
Flemish works.
This, however, is not to be greatly re-
gretted for the language possesses no
beauty, no purity, no richness and the
Flemish of Ghent. Antwerp and Brussels
lacks all refinement OF tone, resembling
some low. vulgar jargon, grating pain
fully on the ear whether spoken by an un-
Iettered or an educated person.
The language of the Lcndon coster-
monger or the Broadway tough" is as
music compared with Antwerp Flemish
or the dialect spoken by the lower class
es of Brussels
This, then is one of the questions that
is dividing the nation into hostile, bit
ter clans. and the folly of the project can
be the better understood when it is real
ICED that nowhere on the civilized globe
is Flemish spken beyond the little cer-
ner of Europe known as Belgium, and
that even here not half the people can
speak it. The desire of the Flemish pol
iticians TO have their iargon made ths
language of the country is nothing but
a political stratagem for gaining the ia
yor of the Flenish-sp speaking people.
The evening times., 1900-10-08
FLEMISH NOT A LANGUAGE.
Only II Corrupt Form of Dutcl
Spoken in Flanders.


(From the London Mail.)
The question whether Flemish OF French
shall be the prevailing language in Bel
gium is a matter that is regarded quite
seriously there.
1t cannot be agreed. even in Belgium,
whether not Flemish is a language.
Some of the leading authorities, among
whom are prominent Flemings, declare
that Flemish is nothing but corrupt
form of Dutch, dialect spoken in FIan-
ders, just as the tongue of Yorkshire is
an English dialect, or any patois a cor
ruption OF the language of the country
where it is spoken. The theory that. Flem-
ish is corruption of Dutch is consistent
with the history of the country and it's
people, and above all, it's literature.
The grammar of the Flemish language
is the Dutch grammar, the dictionary is
the Dutch dictionary, and yet the radical
Flemish faction has been clamoring in
the Senate and Chamber for years to have
Flemish made the official language of Bel
gium, when not one-half of the inhabi-
tants of the country understand it.
At present all laws, official rules, regu-
lations and DEGREES are printed in both
languages, and in court a Fleming can
insist on being heard in Fleming if he so
desires.
Three languages, or rather one language
and two namely. French, FIem-
ish, and Walloon-are spoken in Belgium.
Flemish is confined to the north of the
country, including all Flanders; Wallaon
prevails in the south, while French is the
Official language and commercial language
and the language of choice among all the
weli-educated classes and is spoken
throughout the country generally.
1t is said on good authority that the
nureSt French is to hp heard al J,iepe In
fact, the French spoken there is far su-
perior to that of Paris. and anyone who
has resided in the two cities will reeog-
nfZe this fact at once.
There IS no doubt that the language of
Flanders was formerly identical with the
Dutch, but that after the separation of
Flanders from the Netherlands the Lam

Importance over Sunday and upon the
opening of business in the Stock Market
this morning interest centred almost
wholly around the monetary situation as
indicated in Saturdays bank statement.
Apprehensions of more stringent condi-

about enc point were noted throughout
the market.
American Steel and Wire and Brooklyn

and material declines appeared il the

showed slight changes.
The Reading shares were notably firm,

The trading was fairly active and was
