PROF. NORTON'S IGNORANCE.
Professor Charles Eliot Norton, of
Harvard university, gave another il
lustration recently of his ignorance
cf American history and his inability
to understand American spirit and
character. In his "speech at the Sand
erson academy dinner he spoke of a
chosen few who, like himself, had
sorrowful thoughts because "our
nation should have turned its back
upon its old ideals" and have taken
the path of ' aggressive war" which
has never led to anything but ill.
Those who study American history
know that we have not turned our
back on old ideals or departed from
the paths in ai keel out by our fore
fathers. Professor Hart, who has
given some attention to American
hi&tory, cites sixty cases in which the
United States has intervened by force
outside of our national jurisdiction.
In thirty cases the American troops
occupied foreign territory, and in
twelve cases the territory occupied
was annexed.
The founders of the republic in
augurated the policy which brought
countless benefits to the nation
through George Rogers Clark's in
vasion of the Northwest, the occupa
tion of Louisiana in 1797, the in
vasion and occupation of Oregon in
1805, the invasion and occupation of
Florida at a later date, the conquest
of California in 1842 44, the - inva
sion of Mexico in 184G, intervention
in Samoa in 1872, and in Hawaii in
1889. These expeditions doubled
and quadrupled the territory of the
Union, and not one of them was un
dertaken with a higher motive than
the Cuban war.
In entering Cuba, Porto Rico, and
the Philippines the United States is
acting up to old ideals and in accord
ance with precedents that ever have
contributed to the power and in
fluence of the people. "The founda
tions on which the republic has
rested" have been unsettled ; "the
principles on which the government
depends" have not been violated; we
have not undertaken obligations
which "neither Dur institutions nor
cur national character will enable us
properly to discharge." In short, we
have not done anything which Prof.
Norton insists we have done, and we
have accomplished in this latest inter
vention by force of arms almost as
much as-did the fathers of the re
public by their first interventions.
Professor Norton shuts bis eyes to
the past when he slanders his country
in the present. Inter Ocean.
SPELLING REFORM OBSTACLES
After struggling tor a year or more
with the vast and venerable question
of the right spelling of English words,
a committee of eminent educators
has timidly suggested an improve
ment in the spelling of a dozen or so
of notorious offenders against etymol
ogy and phonetics our old friends
"programme" and "pedagogue" and
"through" of course leading the list,
If this is all that the friends of
spelling reform can offer us, the out
look for phonetic English is discorag
ing. The hope of reform is dwindl
ing instead of increasing.
While the feeble preposition is
made to spell a dozen or so easy
words as they are pronounced, the
pernicious influence of an effete
aristocracy in England is corrupting
the pronunciation of hundreds of
other words, and the decree of a
London fashion 13 absolute. Ameri
cans otherwise sane are heard to call
a "clerk" a "clark" and to speak of a
paper as a "piper." In London a
lady is a "lydy," today is "to-die,"
fate is "fite," and even one's name is
"nime" and so on through a list of
degraded pronunciation not al
together confined to the cockneys,
many of which have already crossed
the Atlantic and all of which may be
expected.
What is the use ot cherishing any
hope of spelling reform under such
difficulties? Why struggle to adjust
the spelling of one word to its pro
nunciation when we are shifting the
pronunciation of countless categories?
Why not give it up as a bad job, as
itccitainly is and always has been?
Neither Chaucer nor Washington
could spell correctly, and the great
est spelling reformer in English
literature was Artemus Ward but
the job was "2 mutch" for him.
About one month ago my child, which
is fifteen months old, had an attack ot
diarrhoea accompanied by vomiting. I
gave it Euch remedies as are usually
given in euch cases, but as nothing gave
relief, we eent for a physician and it was
under his care for a week.' -At this time
the child had been sick for about ten
days and was having about twenty-five
operations of the bowels every twelve
hours, and we were convinced that un
less it soon obtained relief it would not
live. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy was. recommended,
and I decided to try it. I eoon noticed a
change for the better; by its continued
use a complete cure was brought about
and it is now perfectly healthy. C. L.

Persons troubled with diarhoea will
be interested in the experience of W. M.
Bash, clerk of the hotel Dorrance, Prov
idence, R. I. He says: "For several
yaars 1 have been almost a constant suf
ferer from diarrhoea, the frequent at
tacks completely prostrating me and
rendering me unfit for my duty at this
hotel. About two years ago a traveling
salesman kindly gave me a small bottle
of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarhoea Remedy. Much to my sur
priee and delight ite effects were imme
diate. Whenever I felt symptoms of the
disease I would fortify myself against
the attack with a few doses of this val

very satisfactory and almost complete
relief from the affliction." For sale by
