The English Language.

A Boston critic thinks the time has
come to call our language American
instead of English, because the way we
Americans speak it is rot the way the
Britons speak it. A difference in
speaking, to be sure, is apparent, but
it is a difference in accents, or at most,
in local expressions. The root remains
the same. OF course it might be
argued that the cockney style of call
ing day dye" or say Sigh" or even
such general English terms as "ha'-
penny" for halfpence, are not Ameri-
can expressions, but neither is our
BOwery lingo true to the mother
tongue. We cannot rest the abitra-
ment, therefore, on these exceptions.
Here in our own country people Of diff
ferent sections have their own COLO
quialisms and peculiar forms OF ac-
cent For instance the New Englander
may be distinguished by his speech and
yet the New Yorker, as a rule, is diff
ferent from the New Englander,
though nearly one himself. The south
erner with his soft RS" may be recog-
nized Of all men.
But we Americans borrowed this
Anglo-saxOn tongue and we really have
no exclusive right to 1t, not even such
a right az would warrant us in claim
ing title over England Il may be that
our way of speaking will in time be-
come more nearly universal than the
way of the Britons, but still that is In.
consequential. Thus far We know that
the Englishman's style has wider
sweep for the simple reason that his
possessions are more vast and morv
general. The British Isles form but 4
very Insignificant part of them. They
reach into every portion OF the globe
India, Egypt, Africa, Australia, Canada
right here at our very. door and IL any
one doubts that the English accent
does not follow the British flag he has

A Champion Found.

A champion has at last been found
for the vicious open primary in the
Lincoln Star, which protests against
any modification Of our primary law
which will make It less open than II
now ts." 1t declares that the recent
primary affords no fair criterion as
to its merits and that it would be
jumping at a conclusion hastily to say
that the results discredited the open
feature.
But a burned child shuns the fire,
and usually once is enough. The open
part of the Nebraska primary was en-
acted by the last democratic legisla-
ture for a specific partisan purpose.
Governor Shallenberger took it for
granted that he would be conceded an
unopposed denomination, and with the
open primary his friends could cross
over into the republican column and
select the weakest candidate for him
gun exploded at the breech instead of
at the barrel and put Governor Shall
lenberger out of business, demon
strating the vlciousness of the open
primary to the complete satisfaction
of its former friends.
If Nebraska were the only state
where the open primary had gotten in
it's deadly work it's champions might
plead for another trial, but it has been
tested in other states as we'll with
equally bad effects, and if 1t has any
friends anywhere besides the Star, and
a few extremists who want to destroy
party government altogether, they
have not come to the front. The
strongest advocates of the direct pri-
mary all lay particular emphasis upon
the closed feature as absolutely neces-
Bary to safeguard the integrity Of
party nominations, and II Nebraska Is
to retain its direct nominations the
sooner It discards the open primary
and goes back to the closed primary
the less will be the danger besetting
the whole plan.

Immigrants Worth Keeping.

The Hungarian-American bank of
New York has increased its capital
from 100000 to 100000. 1t
has recently received deposits of
$1,50O,OOO from the Hungarian gov
eminent as a subsidy at a low rate
of interest. This bank, which is the
one most patronized in this country by
Hungarians, thus shows the saving
propensities Of this race. There are
100000 Hungarians in the United
States who on an average puts aside or
sends back to the native country every
year $50. making an aggregate of mill
lions. The Hungarians, like many
other Europeans who come to the
United States, are essentially farming
people. The record shows that in time
a large proportion of them, after
amassing a small fortune in the United
States, go back to Hungary and buy
land on which they settle down for
life.
Why not make a special effort to in
uuce such people 10 Duy land and keep
themselves and their savings in this
country? Why is it ingenious Yankees
have so long overlooked this splendid
opportunity? It need not be argued
for a moment that the Hungarians or
any other class of Europeans could not
be persuaded by proper influences to
stay in this country where they had
met such good fortune. They go back
home largely through habit and largely
through want of attention. If our peo-
pie would take up this matter either
through public or private sources, it
seems to us the results would entirely
Justify the effort. All the immigrants
who are hardy and frugal and indus
trious should become permanent in
habitants here.

ment, 1t would seem that the new senator
has heretofore led sober and reputable
life in the community that ne calls home
There Is no suggestion In any quarter
so far as we have heard, that he ever
robbed a neighbours hencoop or defrauded
uncounted widows and orphans, or commit
ted divers other high crimes and misde-
meanors in the course Of his busy and sue
eessful career.
In brief, one might be tempted to say
that, on the face Of things, Mr.. Young is a
pretty good sort of MANTLE sort of man
who has managed 10 do pretty well for
himself in a business way while attempt
ing at the same time 20 discharge his duties
and obligations in regard to public affairs.
But the fact that Mr.. Young has just
become United States senator and a
regular" senator at that naturally pre-
vents any reasonable man from yielding to
that temptation. That fact naturally stamps
him az the subject Of future painful revela-
lions.
We suspect that II will not be long be-
fore some lucent magazine discovers and
announces that the new regular" senator
from Iowa Is IN league with J. p. Morgan
and that his newspaper, the Des Moines
Capital, is practically owned by the Steel
trust
And there is good ground to predict that
in the dearth OF other thrilling revelations,
some uplift weekly will at no distant date
print an article showing that way back in
the early sos LATE" Young took a trip to
Alaska and stRked out a claim adjoining
what is now known as the Cunningham

And some enterprising newspaper Of the
reform-for- circulRtion-only type is more
than likely TO publish scathing series of
dispatches showing that the new Iowa
senator was seen at the Waldorf on two
separate occasions when John d. Arch
bold was also stopping there, and, there
