The ao-\n_oi_tceuie_t has been made officially,\nand all doubts as to an election\ntaking place this fall are now set\nat rest. Rather better than six\nweeks have been given to the candidates, and this is surely a long enough period lor the tight to last.\nIn our own inlinedlate coast district\neverything is ready and everyone is\nprepared i'or tbo battle.

There\n[are many rhymes in Pope which,\nwhilo perfect to the eye, Jar on the\n[ear according to modern pronunciation, and it may be taken for granted that the fashion of speaking has\nundergone some alteration. \"Sea\"\nI {apparently was pronounced liko\n'say,\" and \"tea\" took the Irish\npronunciation of \"toy,\" Other ex-\nl\u00E2\u0080\u0094inples might be given all of which\ntend to prove that what is right today la wrong tomorrow.\nThe Colonist sums the matter up\nby the rather bold assertion that\ntbe standard of correct pronunciation can most safely be token from\nthe cultured classes. In a general\nway this statement may be true;\nbut wo have noticed that evon the\nCultured betray in tholr speech certain localisms. For instance, the\nmen of Oxford have certain mannerisms and Inflections in their speech\nwhich distinguish them from the\nI men of Cambridge, und their pronunciation of a number of words is\nsheer sacrifice ot some weighty vowel. .We are not referring to the\n| finicky lecturers who persist in giving three syllables to '''conscience,\"\n'ocean,\" and kindred words, but to\nsuch simple units of speech as\n'boat,\" \"road,\" \"here,\" -\"there,\"\n[and su forth. An uneducated North\ncountryman says '\"heor,\" when he\nmeans to say either \"here\" or\n'hear,\" and our local remittance men\nsay \"ho-'ar\" for both words. Solar\nas correctitude is concerned tlie pitman is no worst, than his 'college\ncontemporary. Take also smart society's murderous treatment of\n\"roally, and kindred exclamatory\nwords, and the conclusion is inevitable that tbe English tongue is as\nmuch abused by the cultured as it\nis by tho uneducated. We suppose\nthat as fn orthography, the, stu\u00C2\u00BBi<\nard of orthoepy will vary and change\nwith fashion and custom; but even\nthen the destruction of a leadingi\nvowel, or the arbitrary alteration of\n.quantity or sound can never be right\nThe well of English pure and unde-\nfilod, has no flourishes, and the\nstrength and beauty of our mother\ntongue Is only weakened by over re-\nflnement.

Foreigners no longer\nfind it quite safe to wander alone or\nunprotected among the beautiful valleys and hills that environ so many\nof the Japanese cities.\nRobberies and hold-ups that used\nto bo almost unknown are now not\ninfrequent. Even on the public\nstreets foreign women have been relieved of tholr purses in broad lay-\nlight after tho manner of towns in\nthe so-called \"Wild Wost.\"\nTho authorities seem- either holp-\nloss or indifferent to the urgency of\nthe circumstances. Tho polico force\nof all Japanese cities is no doubt inadequate to .the extent of duty devolving upon guardians of tho law,\nbeing much weakor in calibre and\nnumbers than tho forco in similar\ncommunities abroad. And tho fow\nthoro aro appear to ho either in constant fear of tho criminal classes or\ndeficient in the initiative necessary\nto tho capturo and punishment of the\noffenders. The Japanese policemen\ndoes not patrol tho streets ns in\nEurope or America; ho keeps his\nmeasured watch at what is known\nas a polico box, a place often difficult to find, and tho criminal 'eels\nperfectly freo to oporato at a safe\ndistance from this station.\nTho night watchman of towns nnd\ncities go about banging two pieces of\nhardwood together, tho constant\nclapping keeping the criminal aware\nof tlio exact spot the watchman is\nin. and so enabling him to escape\ndetection.\nIt Is tho conviction of most foreign residonts in this country that\nthe root of tho trouhlo lies in tlio\nfact that tho olllcers of the law aro\nreally in deadly fear of the criminal\nclasses. Every Juiuincso criminal\ncarries a concoaled weapon, nnd the\nmurdor of policemen is a fr.quent\noccurrence.\nTho average citizen of Japan appears to havo littio confidence In tho\nlaw as an arbiter of tho wrongs ho\nsuffers: in fact, ho mora frequently\ntakes the law into his own hands,\nAmong the lower classes the appeal\nis not to tho authorities, but to the\nfist or to tho knife, and not infrequently to the yet moro fatal short\nsword.\nA rather significant featuro of development among tho criminal class\nes in Japan is the increasing frequency of piracy along the coasts\nand inland seas of tho cinpiro. Tho\nJapanese havo boon known to plunder wrocks thnt had beon abandoned\nbut an attack upon cargo in transit\nhas not hitherto been known.
