SLANG.

(30th July.) Journalists are often titted with a predi- tection for the use of slang. There can be little doubt that there is a good deal of slang in modern journalese. Journalese itself is entirely a slang language in the estimation of the purist in style, and without admitting that extreme view as being accurate, it can not be gainsaid that many reportorial phrases |that could hardly obtain the imprimator of Lindley Murray are to be encountered every day in the Press of the world. In Hong kang we get into the habit of introducing "pidgin" English into our every-day conver sation and one may hear this kind of slang in any mess, club or dwelling-house from the Peak to the Praya. We use it in our or dinary speech and it soon becomes a com- ponent part of our domestic language. Newspapermen, again, are not so blamable for having a slang jargon of their own as

The Self-Govemment Society of Canton was among the first to be approach. ed by the San Francisco Chinese and now that this potent organisation has decided upon the lustitution of a boycott there is little doubt that the commercial groups in the various ports of Chias will follow suit right willingly. Theadrices received by the Self-Government Society from San Francisco were accom panied by a draft for $1,000 to defray initial expenses. At a special meeting of the Society convened for the purpose of con- sidering the propositions put forward by the League of Justice, it was decided to take every possible means to boycott American goods in the Two Kwang and to call upon. the various commercial groups to co-operats. in this movement". It looks as though the American merchants in China are about to have a very "rough time.
