viumiv npiuauae uy uia expressions
eoaeerning the attempts of the Northern
Iteifle railroad te slews a nenr tnn't firm
ijing fifty miles from its read, upon the
ground that it had been given by Congress
the title te it In aid of the building of its
read. It te surprising that this corporation
should have been se unwise as te expose it
self te public indignation for the sake of
these few acres of land. Doubtless if it
had known that the public would ever get
te hear of it, or had suspected that the
president of the United States would tell
Hie uue, it would have left the peer
uu iurm aiene. xiie iniquity of a great
corporation seizing this far off patch of
ground, te which it had net a sure title at
!f7,.nd Tery V0OT one ,n equity,
truces the public mind as very great ; and
there te no one te call in question the wis
dom of the president in directing that the
ill deed shall net be done.
The attorney general decides that the
railroad company hai a right te lay claims
te land within sixty miles of each side of
-its read, In the territories, until it gets an
amount equivalent te a strip forty miles
wide en each slrinnfMie .,i im...i .
Inconceivable, new, that Congress should
ew nave Deen se roellsh as te give a rail rail
read company a strip of land through the
territories te the Pacific, eighty miles
wide. Certainly no such grant would
new be made ; and the forcible sug sug
gestien is that the cempanv should
net have a perpetual privilege of "selecting
lands in the icdemnlty strip of twenty
miles, te make up nuyjaetls in the forty
mue limit that maye unavailable te it.
The attorney general finds that there is
n 'ISit of time te ,tbe exercise
-Or this privilege. Fer many years
all the lands within sixty miles of
the railroad have been withdrawn from
homestead entry, awaiting the pleasure of
the railroad te select its forty mile grant,
and the government has given its aid te
the preservation of the wilderness. It does
seem as though this was a misconception
of the law ; and that the privilege needed
te be taken advantage of with diligence.
Certainly after the lapse of years the gov gev
eminent would be justified in declaring
that the privilege was cancelled. It must
be upon this impression that the pres.dent
has suggested that Mm vtnri r .1...
interior direct the Northern Pacific te re
lease its held upon land that has been set
tied upon. It is true he proposes that
it shall take ether land in lieu of
it; but if he has the right te direct the
exchange, he has the right te direct the
surrender without exchange.
Perhaps he thinks that the innate justice
of his position is such that the Northern
PacIUc people will net incline te dispute Us
legality, and will be tractable, in whole
some dread of public opinion and in fear
that they may get nothing if they de net
take what they are offered. Aud theie is
no doubt that the president's action is suf.
flciently based en law and justice and
power te be acquiesced in.
There Will He Few Mourner,.
While all disturbances of the geed elder
of any assemblage aremuch te be regretted
there will be few tears shed at the fate'
which befel the play "McSwiggau's Par

brutal caricature of the long awaited
Irish Parliament, and in it the Celtic leg

The Cllo'ephlo soclety held the last of their

Mr. J. W. I'. Ilausmsn, West Chesnut street,
en l-'rlday evenlug. The chairman Intro,

Slclllui; reform. Professer Owen irtfiu.nl
his evay wltn a einpliineiiUry reference te
the Cllosephic society, which he had fre
quently heard most lilt!ily sokeii of. The
earnest and quiet delivery of the speaker
commanded close attention and his dry
humor greatly enlivened a learned ejsay ou
the subject or spelling reform. An abstract
of the same Is herewith presented.
The paper was deveted mainly te shewlug
the need of reform aud th obstacles In the
way of the movement. Meat lauguagea In
our part et the world are written phonetically,
or nearly se, aud the spelling fellows changes
of pronunciation that occur f tern generation te
generation. The KeglUh language, hew.
ever, has passed through periods of special
disturbance, notably the Nerman conquest,
when the erthgrapby was thrown out of
Joint by the ml tture et ract that bad dlller
ent wajs of representing sounds. Three cen
turies et chaos made a return te the pheuetlc
habits et the Anglo-Sens Impossible, for
the writers had forgotten that there was any
necessary connection between round and
it;; II.
After the Invention of printing they
aimed te make the spelling mil ter in at
least. Twe or three ceuturles mere closing
with Bally (1721), aud Dr. Jehnsen (175."),
brought us te a rigid system of spelling a
system In which words are mere groups of
letters without regard te the legitimate peer
of letters te represent sounds.

of the Irregularities ; ler example ; that there
are ticenty live ways of denoting the sound

In jrAiini,
The worst Irregularities occur within a
small group of words tbeut 1 ;00, but they
are the most common words ) of them
monosyllables aud ceer the eutlie ecabu
lary of the washes.
The bad results of this chaotic orthography
can hardly be overestimated. There Is nrst
the cost et printing useless letters, amount
ing te hundreds et millions in a generation.
Three volume of the Encyclopedia liritan
nlca are thus devoted te dead matter. The
library of Congress would, If the books were
all In modern Kugllsb, contain 50,000 vel
umes as tbe tombs of dead letters
Then there Is the cast el paying teachers
for this extra drill work In readmit and spel
ling which a rational sjstem would make
unnecessary, ameuntlus te 15,000,000 a year
In this country alone.
The greatest less, however, Is In the time
spent in learning te read. An average et
nearly three years might be saved In the
school life of every child, If we bad a rational
system et spelling. As it is, it is a palnlul
drudgery, tuduces dislike of reading, and is a
dead weight upon the intelligence of our
masses.
Thirteen per cent of our people above the
age of ten years are unable te read at all, and a
much larger proportion of thesi w he can read,
cannot read with sufficient fluency and ease te
make it a source of pleasure and profit. Then
there are the perverting ellects en reason,
aud directly or indirectly en character.
The essayist then discussed the proposed
methods of reform in the alphabet, the lists or
words whose spelling may be amended at
once under the sanction of the highest lin
guistic authority of the Kngllsh speaking
world, viz , the philological associations of
minimi uuu luis ceuniry ; me progress
thus far uudeand the plans for the future.
The announcement of a forthcoming '(uar
lerly magtzlne te be the organ of the relerm
was received with nnfvtal iritAi-Atr.

mentsuch as the uncouth appearance of
phonetic spelling, the fear that the derivation
of words would be obscured, ware briefly

slen of the mere serious hindrances.
There Is a prevalent crudeness and ignor
ance In the notions of most eeple as te the
sound lu words Tne phonetic sense of the
community in, se te speak, torpid. The plea
ier lueamenameniei spelling is a meaning
less one te these who de net see that the
spelling Is absurd. There could bj no better
preparation for a chance than te give one
generation of children a thorough training in
the phonology of the language.
There Is also the stubborn Inertia of hiblt.
Oar system may be bad, but it is here, and
we have In a measure mastered it. That
spiles of ceu9eratis.u is respectable
and furnishea a perfectly valid reaea
aitalnst a change for these who are net
disposed te take anyone but themselves into
account. Hut for these who are capable et a
philanthropic humanitarian view, there is no
practicable movement et recent timsa that has
en the ground of lta beneficence anythiig
like an equal claim te favor.
There Is no Invention or tool or set of tools
We use that can be compared In vital import
ance te the devices by which we communi
cate one with another. .Saya 1're'. Msrcb,
"fhe dttlerence between a famtlv who can
read aud one who cannot, is vastly mere Im
portant than the difference between a family
that use railroads, telegraphs and telegrams
and one that does net."
Tee English-speaking race communicates
mere and has mere te communicate than
the rest of mankind. The probable destiny
of the Kngllsh language is a thought that
should quicken our race spirit and our patri
otle pride. Aside from this one hindrance
the Kngllsh has every advantage In the great
rivalry of tongues. It is the language of
progress, of intelligence and llbsrty ; ita
vocabulary ia magnificent whether ter sci
ence, for poetry or philosophy ; Its gram
matlcal structure is se simple that it might
be the easiest language in the world te learn ;
hut the eccentricities of spelling present an
almost impossible barrier te foreigners.
Jie Grimm, the grcat'Ungulatle genius,
a few years age congratulated the ether
Europeans that the Kugllsh had net made
the discovery that a whimsical antiquated
orthography steed in the way of the universal
acceptance of their la guage.
According te results carefully worked out
or the statistics of nations, In two hundred
years, the Italian, Spanish, German and
I- ranch will altogether be spoken by TSS.OOO,.
000, while the Knglish alone will be spoken
by l1W7,lX)0J00(i That represents, heweer,
merely the relatlve increase of imputation in
Kngllsh speaking lands. The English IWell
muuiu .moil iud uuiutuu even were rapiuiy,
and would de se if there were harmony be
tween the written and spoken word.
The essay was follewej by a discussion
which developed strong sympathy with the
Bpeaker in bis portrayal el the dreadful con.
ditien of our machinery for expressing words
by combining letters. Many strongly sen.
dersed phonetic spelling ; and mauy, while
admittlug the urgent need of reform, did net
see the way clear te It. I'ref. O wen dlstribu-
ted, alter the debate a small pamphlet en the
question that had been discussed.
After the argument hid cleeed, the ques
tion of holding a final meeting for the season
en July 4 was dlscuseJ. It was voted that
the practicability or holding such a meeting
be rererred te a committee, and that If their
decision le favorable, it stu.ll be held. The
society then resolved Itself Inte a .social
meeting, and one or the most enjoyable sea sea
slens or the year was closed with the singing
et glees and choruses. B

ets were sold at the box cilice until seven
o'clock in the eveulug. Then Manager
Morten told the ticket seller net te sell any
mere tickets for half an hour. During that
half hour Manager Morten, Treasurer Mouth Meuth
well, Fred G. Maeder, the author el the
play, and Harry and Fay had a consultation
In Manager Morten's office, Ileth llarry and
Fay were up all night after the egg throwing
and hissing ou Thursday night and took the
7:30 train te New Yerk Friday morning.
They left New Yerk at I o'clock In the arter arter arter
noen and arrived at the theatre at 7 o'clock,
both pretty well broken up ever the egg egg
threwlug and the less of rest Jut before
the arrival of Manager Morten Fay bad
started for his dressing room aud was gelug
te make up for bis part. lie said that the
play would proceed as usual and that the
Parliament scene would go oft just precisely
as It had en Thursday night, eggs or no eggs.
Fay also said :
" I'm going te play If they kill tne."
When Barry came In a moment later he
told his partuer that he was net going te play.
Fay was surprised, aud Harry said he was tee
hearse te talk. Fay insisted that the play
must go en. Then manager Morteu told him
that It would be very unwise te go en with
thfl play.
Manager Morten told Messrs. Harry, Fay
and Maeder that there would lie trouble Jusl
as sure as tbe curtain went up. lie said it
was plain that the play was objectionable te
many who would be patrons of the theatre
aud Treasurer Southwell said there was no
use of risking the lives of people who would
occupy the parquette seats for the sake of
opposing popular sentiment. Hugh Fay
began te think that It would be better net te
play. Manager Morten gave him te under
stand that it had been whispered te him that
there would be a riot if the play was per
formed. Fay said finally :
" Verv well, I'll give In. I'm a member
of the Clan-na-Gael. and I and my partner
did net mean te r 11 end them or any ether
Irish society. " He Fay opened his coat
and showed these standing about a little
geld badge. ' ir a committee of the Clan
na Gael had ceme te us,'! be continued, "and
had told us that the play was objectionable,
why, we would have cut out the offensive
parts ; but I don't feel like giving up te a
handful of men who threw eggs at me and
hiss me. But X suppose It is best net te agi
tate the thing, se l'u give in."
The theatre will remain closed and " Mc
Swlggan's Parliament" will be laid en the
shelf for the present. Fred Maeder thinks
of cutting out the Parliament scene and re
constructing the play and giving it a new
name Harry has some ideas about the
lakes of Klllarney and a bower of rejes that
w-tll be worked into the play. Harry and
Fay spent most of the evening as spec
tators at the Central theatre. The members
or the company were paid their salaries up te
te-night Barry and Fay went te New Yerk
en purpose te get money en Friday. They
bae lest about tiOOO en the production of
their new play. Harry said :
" WVre each out a thousand this week."
Hilly Barry said : " I'm Irish te the back
bone ; se Is Fay. We wouldn't ellend the
Irish people knowingly. It's unfortunate,
the people didn't seem te understand that we
were only illustrating an Irishman's dream
an Irishman like O'Donevan Keasa, a
dynamiter, whom eyerv geed Irishman has
no respect for."
