The Good Name Of a City.

Whether or not a city can sue its
defamers for libel is a question for the
lawyers, but any layman can UNDER
stand that the business interests of a
city may be seriously damaged by Civ
ing it bad name and spreading the
impression that it is dangerous and
undesirable place to live in.
Between 1890 and 1900 the population
of Paterson increased from 7s,347 to
III, and to-day it must have $4,000
people. Most Of them are engaged In
manufacturing. Paterson has the larg-
est silk mills in the United States, and its
manufactures include bridge castings.
locomotives, machinery, linen thread,
cotton goods and malt liquors. There is
probably more skilled labor in Paterson
than in any other city of its size in the
country.
In spite Of calamities Of fire and food
such as few cities have ever experienced,
Paterson can boast notable public i'm
provements and utilities; broad, well
paved streets, two spacious parks, an
elaborate electric car system, and public
library of 10000 volumes. Its imposing
soldiers monument testifies to the pa
triotism of Paterson men during the
civil war. Its hospitals, homes and
other charitable institutions are numer-
Gus. Paterson spends $500, 900 a year
upon its public schools. 1t may not be
generally known, but Patersonians are
proud of their city, of its picturesque
site, its modern public buildings, it's
handsome private residences, it's enter
prise and its steady and substantial
progress.
Paterson, therefore, has assets other
than it's good name which are worth
defending against slander and defama-
ton. 1t was enough to be unfortunate,
almost more than the city could bear;
but pluck could prevail over hard luck.
To be persistently and cruelty lied about,
to have the finger of scorn pointed at
her by the sensationalists, to be made
a byword and reproach, was at last
too much for Paterson. AS an Ameri-
can city she has not had square deal.
There has been disposition in quarters
not disinterested to strike at her because
she was down, to give her bad name
because it was safe, and to condemn
her unheard. The sympathies of other
American cities are with Paterson in her
demonstration against her slanderers.

MIR. Lodge and the Pack ers.

Fish rs well as meat is food product
of importance to the American people.
Senator LODGE manfully and rightly
deprecates all of those practices of the
Chicago packers by which unwholesome
food is foisted upon an innocent and
confding public; but the distinguished
Senator would seem to have forgotten
his struggle when the Pure Food bill
was under consideration to secure for
his constituents the right to Use chem
icals on their dried Goldfish instead of
the old fashioned salt which made
Gloucester Goldfish famous. These little
differences about gored oxen persist in
creeping in. 1t is also possible that
Publicist NELL and Publicist REY-
NoLDs, by diligent searching, might find
a modicum of muck in the vicinity Of
Cape Ann and T wharf.
Upon the question of the payment Of
the charges for inspection the minds Of
Senators LODGE and BEvERIDGE are in
agreement. The packers should pay.
They are the offenders and the chief
benefciaries Of the inspection. We admit
that the packers may be made the dis
bursting agents of the cost of inspection,
but they will not be the paymasters.
Mr.. BEvERIDoE fails to see how an
added cost, which he estimates at six
cents a head slaughtered, is to be dis
tributed over forty dollar steer, and

CONPLEXTTIES OF ENGLISH.
DifI,cuIties That Reset the Path Of the
Smelling RefOrIner.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sfr: Civilized
language Is fourtold: spoken. heard. read and
written. Phonetics would revolutionize visual
English, ignoring the fact that new visual form
would necessltate new iingual auicular and manual
forms Ilnguistically. phonetics would be waste
full OF social energy because II would unnecessarily
demand the creation OF a new language.
To illustrate, take the sentence: "A while ago
In Chicago I saw . chic Chinese photographer
In this sentence, q. c, and have four different
sounds Tongue and ear are at variance with hand
and eye A foreigner knowing only the pronun-
citation Of Chicago would read thus "Ah wheel
ahgo cen Sheekahgo Ee sab ah sheek ShecneSe
sheero .grahtcr" No one would understand him.
and he might give up our photographic complex
ties in despair.
The spelling rciormer proposes TO make II easy
for him by making the visual and lngual languages
uniform. The sentence might then appear "A
whyl ago In Shesahgo--and here the vowel 6
with It's many sounds would call halt. necessitat-
ing the creation Of new letters. Having extended
the phabct he would still be far from visual
uniformity as ever. as will be seen in the words
compete competitor. define. DEFINITE. connote conno-
ta,lon, &c.
The Q in compete Is not the IN competitor.
and to have visual uniformity We would have TO
pronounce the one compel" or the other com
pcctltor," creating new ear language neccsSitGt-
ing a new tongue language: for II we said COM
pect" we would. to be consistent. also say com
pect .ltlon." giving as much emphasis to one Syla-
bic as TO another and also "compcct tor" What
Is true OF compete" and Its derived forms Is true
OF nearly every other word In the language.
Thus the revolution OF English In ono of Its fUrnS
means revolution In all of them. Consider, then.
the magnitude OF the undcrtakinG-the creation
OF a new language in a fourfod sense. not yet
demanded by the e1lgencies of civilization and
YOU should easily sec which side economy lies.
in the adoption OF phonetics in the retention OF
the present orthography, subject to those changes
which unnoticed take place In the slow process

Upper Broadway.

In the subjoined letter a fair question
is propounded, and in answering it we
shall give expression to the opinion Of
every resident of New York familiar
with the facts:

so7 Ca. you defend IL 1t would be. to use an
American slang. the limit think EUROPEANS.
NEW YORK. June la.'
Broadway from Fifty-ninth street to
118th street is disgrace to the city, and
has been since the beginning Of the con-
struction of the section OF the subway
beneath it. It's condition reflects the ut
most discredit on all the city and borough
authorities who have to do with the public
highways. Particularly and specifically,
the Mayor of New York, the President
Of Manhattan, the Board of Rapid Tran
sit Commissioners and the Aldermen of
the districts through which this once
attractive thoroughfare runs invite the
sevefest censure for the conditions that
make it an eyesore and an affront to the
community.
In no city. big or little, European or
American, Asiatic or African, wherein
existed proper and alert public sem
timent, would a principal street be al
lowed to remain in upper Broadway's
condition, and no "envious foreign feel
ing inspires" our correspondents. They
share the natural disgust Of every intel
ligent human being who sees the effect
of neglect and inefficient administration
in a public place.
