HamIin Fears Mob.

Hamlin, when approaching Grand Island,
ren1a rked that he had intended to get a rig
and drive back TO give himself up. II was
remarked by one of the party that It may
have been well he did not as there had
been some talk OF lynching at which he
was surprised and somewhat alarmed. He
talked little but smoked necessarily.
Hamlin will be held without formal COM
plant for a few days until the outcome,
as to the girl, can be better determined.
He has no family connections here. He
has a sister in Wayne county, the only
known relative, but the authorities have
not, so far. her address.

Comparison OF this tabular exhibit with
that Of a week ago will show that sixteen
republican county conventions held in the
interval have added 1870 delegates to the
number chosen, making a total elected to
date of 53s out Of S57 that are to sit in the
state convention. The greater number OF
these counties failed to instruct for any
candidate for United States senator, al
though Brown secured johnson county's
ten votes and Currie and Evans as favorite
sons were given Clusters seventeen votes
and Plates twelve votes respectively. The
Brown prognostlcators at Lincoln had
given out forecasts claiming for him not
less than half the delegates to be elected
last week. but in this he failed TO make
good, resolutions of instruction in his
favor being voted down in Franklin,
FNurnas and Harlan counties, which they
were confidently counting upon. Six coun-
ties which did not instruct for any par
ticular candidate for senator, nevertheless
adopted resolutions endorsing convention
nomination and instructing delegates to
sustain the call In that respect.

The outcome last week in Nemaha and
Johnson. both OF which instructed their

to have settled that question by giving
him a large margin over the majority neces-
sary TO nominate. Judge Jessen however,
has not publicly withdrawn from the race
and will probably ask for his own county,
while IL is known that a number OF Ian
caster delegates would break away from
their Pollard instructions IL they had half
a chance. The First district contest has
developed considerable bitter feeling be-
tween the friends Of opposing candidates.

Prof Thos. r Lounebuy Of Mls

The hours wasted at scool In lernng 20
spell. the hours spent thru life In keeping
up and perfecting this knowledge OF spell
ing, In consulting dictionaries, work that
never ends: the hours he spends in writing
silent letters. and multiply this time by
the number OF persons who speak English
and we shall hav a total OF millions OF
years wasted by each generation.
And yet literary amateurs fall in luv
with these squintings and lIspings. They
try TO defend them by pleading their ad-
vantage i'm the study or etymology But n
changeless orthografy destroys the mate
rial for genealogical study. and writn rec
ords ar valuable TO the biologist just IN
proportion as they ar accurate records OF
speech as spoken from year TO year"
Professor Lounsbury when seen at Yale
University was as outspoken as Professor
March in HIS denunciation OF the social
ed inconsistencies OF English as she is
spelled.
"of all civilized languages" said he.
English IL the worst spelled in Christen-
dom. Originally phonetic. II is combina-
ton OF two different systems IL has been
so modified that now the English speak
ing peoples have lost the phonetic sense
One OF the best proofs OF this is the ridi-
culous attempts which writers make
when they attempt to spell phoneticaliy 4
ing the phonetic satires on the proposed
slmplincation OF spelling. for they show
that the men who composed them had not
the faintest idea OF how TO express sounds
by means af the prh I'D characters.
There are In English forty SOUNDS and
only twenty characters which must be
used In writing them. Many OF the letters
are therefore used in different ways The
sounds are the real life OF the language
considering that x Is really ks, that %
is CIV that W. Is a double "a and thai
* and C. and IS are intercha nEeable
Some OF the characters which were once
used 10 supply this very need have entire
ly disappeared. There are no symbols now
for such sounds as tn in thin and tn
IN then. although in earlier texts they
were expressed by dgraphs.
MANY changes have in the centuries
taken place in the pronunciation of Eng
lish and as a result we have spelings
which stand for sounds which are no
longer employed The phonetic sense has
been almost destroyed and spelling has
become a matter OF authority-an arbi-
trary thing-an act Of memory. The conso-
nants alone have remained faithful; the
vowels have gone to the dogs.
"One Of the most astonishing things
which has resulted from the present agi-
tation FOR a simplhed spelling IL the pro-
test from English authors who cry out
against the proposed change as 'barbar-
Gus. Here is Rider Haggard saying that

find the original spelling OF the Bible very
different from that OF the present day.
and that Shakespeare's works as original
ly spelled can now hardly be read at all.
Mr.. Rider Haggard is not writing the
language OF the Bible and Shakespeare.
We find in Shakespeare such spellings as
'theater' for theatre and center for
centre and the text abounds in numer-
Gus examples of the difference between
the present orthography and that Of his
time
II know OF no class OF men who are so
ignorant OF the history and derivation OF
their own language as the average Eng
lish men OF letters ] am not referring 10
English scholars, for they know. The
English author regards the speech OF to-
day as sacred. unmindful Of the fact that
it's spelling has undergone many changes
and even now is being constantly altered.
In the Sermon on the Mount'in Tyndales
translation OF the New Testament, are
many examples OF the way in which Eng
lish orthogra ply has been modified.
Few OF US realize how much agony and
labor Il cost us 10 learn 10 spell The

Immediately he applies analogy and spells
head he'd. Indeed. the word was once
spelled that way He Is Immediately in
conflict with authority. He is told that IL
is only printed head but not so pro-
nounced. Then he essays 'b-e-a-d'. and
sounds IL as though It were bed. Again he
is wrong for he must call II 'beed.' The

New York, March 20. War has been
opened on the orthography Of the English
language as 18th most badly spelled in all
Christendom." Veterans of that legion
which has made many an attack on the
present method are rallying under the old
banner. and recruits representing the best
scholarship in the United States have
joined them. The fact that Andrew Car
negie has furnished the snews OF warfare
has given force to the campaign greater
than it previously had.

already has begun operations. are many

This organization, which Mr.. Carnegie's s
generosity has endowed for term Of
years, aims at present TO lop off super
fluous letters. 20 adopt one spelling for
words where there are now two, and TO
trim up the language SO as 10 make It

tinue. and. II the labors OF the board bear
fruit, English speech Will become phon-
otic. or nearly so. At present. however,
the advocates OF the change are trying
TO accomplish reform along the path OF
least resistance. .e
Dr. March has compiled a history OF
spelling reform in this country in which
