Japanese Language Reform.

Prince Fushimi's announcement that ia
pan will soon inaugurate reform through
the adoption of the English alphabet Is
calculated to cause mingled qualification
and distress. The commercial world will
be glad to see the progressing little en-
pire of the far east start on such a course,
but every lover of the picturesque will
regret the enterprise. Japan Is in q
rapidly transitory state. The people are
adopting the western costume. The
architecture of the larger cities is showing
signs of an evolution toward European
and American models. And II the English
alphabet is adopted the very street signs
will change in character. the books and
newspapers will lose their distinctive
appearance. the decorative art will be rob-
bed Of much Of it's identity Already ia
pans artists are studying and applying
the tenets of the European studios. with
a not altogether happy effect.

The cellar was filed with inffammable

the destructive spread of a fire in crowded
Brooklyn tenement house which cost q dog

our great cities. and 1t would seem that the
very frequency of these occurrences would
have long ago led to sufficient official pre.
cautions to put stop to the practice Doubt
less we shall hear this time, as we have
after similar disasters preventible by proper
legislation and strict enforcement of law
that steps will be taken at once to prevent
future horrors. but everyone knows what
this means. For few weeks In the imme-
date locality of the disaster there will be
a vigorous show of enforcement OF inspec-
ton, and then matters will be permitted Ia
drop into the same bad old condition. Dis
asters of this character will continue until
the public sentiment Is aroused to demand
and insist upon strict performances of duty
by public officers, and officials whose neKli.
gence results In loss of life or property are
promptly and properly dealt with.

Washington, Nov. sO.-search was continued today for the missing let ters connected with the investigation of Judge swayne. It is supposed that they have been gathered up by mis- take among the papers which were not allowed in evidence. The stenogra- phers have a memorandum of the let ters.
 MT Palmer. Chairman of the sub committee, is not in the city. and it IS expected that no action will be taken regarding the letters until he returns.
 It is understood that no supplement tai report in the Swayne case will be made to the House as the order of the House directed only the taking of ad- ditional testimony.
 Members of the Judiciary Committee today learned that other portions of the testimony are missing and the clerks and stenegraphers were told that they must go through all the pa pers and try to find the missing doeu- ments.

Charlottesville, Ga. Nov. 30-Thomas E. Watson, late candidate of the Peo- ple's party for President, addressed a large crowd today at this place. the former home of Alexander H. Stevens. His address was received with close at- tention, but with no marked enthusi- asm. He spoke in part as follows:

 The south has always been in favor of the Democracy-the rule of the many. She has always been opposed to the rule of the many by the few. for the benefit of the few. She has always been foe to privilege. She has never favored class-legislation. She has struggled victoriously. time and again, to destroy national banks, and to curb the power of greedy corpo- rations. She has never favored the pro- lection which builds up one mans bus mess at the expense of another. She has always favored the income tax. federal judiciary, and she furnished a president who defeated John Marshall. and who by this assertion of the power of ehexecutive checked and balanced the attempted usurpation of the su- preme court of the United States.
 Had Andrew Jackson been where that flatulent humbug.

 Yours EeEy tFaly, :.
 It will be noticed that the Ex-Gov- ernor says he has not had occasion to use Peruna for other ailments. The reason for this is, most other ailments begin with cold. Using Peruna to promptly cure colds, he protects his family against other ailments.
 This Is exactly what every other fam ily in the United States should do- keep Peruns in the house. Use 1t for coughs, colds, ls grippe and other climatic affections of winter, and there will be no other ailments in the house. Such families should provide them selves with copy of pr. Hartman's free book, entitled, "Chronic Catarrh."
