The Number of "None. -


1t is not from disregard of derivation
that the speech is in any serious danger.
Much more harmful is the Difference mis-
takenly paid to it. From this results,
says writer in Harper's Magazine, not
nnfrequently pedantic and even pain
fui mode of expression in opposition to
tne best usage, and that, too, without the
slightest counterbalancing advantage.
A remarkable illustration OF this can be
seen in the case of none as the subject
of plural verb. When and where the
outbreak of hostility to this usage first
manifested itself it may not be easy to
determine. Apparently it was not until
Oh late that anyone ever thought
seriously of questioning the pro-
pr1ety of the construction. But
the fact seems suddenly to have
dawned upon the mind of some
student of speech that none was con-
logic were at once set in motion. No
one is exclusively confined in its con-
struction to the singular; it cannot be
used with verb in the plural. In that
all would agree. The conclusion was
at once drawn that the word derived
from 1t must be exactly in the same stu
alton. 1t was therefore highly improper
TO use none as the subject Of plural
verb. 1t is needless to say to any per-
son who has made himself familiar with
the best usage, either written or spoken,
that none has been and is employed in
differently as a singular and a plural;
IL anything, more frequently in the lat
ter number than in the former. The
study of our best writer's settles that
point decisively. 1t is in the power of
anyone to>decide the question for him
self; and it will make little difference
what is the work he takes up. At
Miletus, Paul tells his followers of the
bonds and Affections which awaits him
at Jerusalem. But none of these things
move me-" he continues, according to
the authorized version which adopts
here the translation of the passage as
found in some of the earlier sixteenth
century versions. None deny there is
a God" said Bacon in his essay on
Atheism, "but those for whom it max
eth that there were no Cod None
are for me-" Shakespeare puts in the
mouth of Richard ILL.,, that look into
me with considerate eyes," None are
seen to do it but the people," wrote Mil
ton in his Tenure of Kings and Magis-
trates." A magazine cannot be turned
into a dictionary of quotations, other
wise it would be easy to fill page after
page with examples Of the use of none
as the subject of plural verb, taken
from the best writer's of the language of
every period, and indeed from writer's
OF every grade of distinction from the
highest to the lowest.

International Limitations,

President Buchanan, when asked to
protest against certain alleged acts of
cruelty charged against the papal gov
eminent in 1858, announced through
Lewis Cass, secretary of state, that this
government would not intervene in the
affairs of another where the interven-
ton involved an impeachment of the
government addressed. The rule then
formulated, states Youths Companion,
has, with few exceptions, since con-
trolled the dealings of this government
with other countries in such matters.
Secretary Root has applied it to the situ-
alton in the Congo region. A congress
man having urged him to institute an
inquiry into the situation, with a view
to correcting admitted abuses, he replied
that the United States has no power
under any treaty or agreement to pro-
pose an inquiry, and no treaty right
conference on the subject. There will
be tens of thousands of persons in
the country who will regret most
deeply that this government is
powerless to act in the matter. A
great many of them, doubtless, will urge
that humanity requires that a strong
remonstrance be made, even if there is
no right TO intervene. In former times
there would have been little hesitation
on the part of congress to pass resolu-
tions, and not very much on the part of
the state department to express sympa-
thy with oppressed peoples in any part
of the world. Since the United States
became world power" and to a GER
tain extent entangled in world politics,
greater circumspection has been re-
CURED. American diplomatists cannot
express their minds regarding the con-
duct of other governments quite so free
ly as they used to do. On the whole, the
fact that we are obliged to conform 70
the rules of diplomatic and internaticn-
al etiquette is not to be deplored, al
though in this case a vast majority of
Americans will regret that Secretary
Root is officially tongre-tied.
