HOW SLANG BECOMES POPULAR.
Words in the English Language
Once TaDOOcd by Scholars.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser)
Language is being made SO fast in these
days that it is unsafe for purists to formu-
late lists of words that are unfit for polite
use. A writer in the London Academy"
contends that many words rejected of the
purists are really rough hewn stones that
are necessary to fill crevices in the Ian
guage and that the critic who would ex
clude them is ignorant of his calling Will
liam Cullen Bryant's long list. published
many years ago and widely consulted ever
since. the Academy" critic objects to as
n bag filled with bones of contention and
liable to rattle whenever it is touched.
The difficulty seems to be that while any
reputable list CT this kind is pretty sure
to be authoritative in part evidence of
use of forbidden words by some great au-
thor or some author of growing fame Is
likely to crop up at any time and put the
seal OF respectability upon any mongle
word that one has been accustomed to
point the finger OF scorn at. If you MA
Swift. Gray. or some other master employ
ing word that some picayune clrper for
verbal precision Is trying to ostracise YOU
feel like associating with that word. b.
sides, some OF these rude but h althy of
shoots of the language are doing special
duty. and after proving their fitness for it
will be lust as fit for good verbal so ,iety as
the rest.
What is the difference between an officer
and an official? "Official" is nothing better
than a lame cur of word in the estimation
of some people. but we are told now that 1t
is perfectly proper; that 1t has its place.
is, in fact, the square peg for the square
hole. An Officer" is man OF recognized
badges and known duties: an Official is
man Of more disguised and indefinite
power. The work OF society the sub
division of labor. has been making this
distinction while you. in your ignorance.
didn't know what was going on. An of
flcer" appears on parade ground or on
deck in uniform; an official comes forth
from quiet office. wearing frock coat
and top hat and he can make you feel he
is an Official II you run up against that re-
serve power of which you see no outward
manifestation in spurs or gold lace. Gen
eral Miles is an Officer" John d. Rookie
Teller Is an official. Verbal purists
should keep in mind the constant manu-
facture Of distinctious that is going on.
