MEN AND Measures.— When great
questions are at stake,men are as moate,
and rise or fall as they oppose the
willand wishes of the people. This is
is the law of the land. Under other
forms of government .where power is
concentrated in few hands, and the people are held in check by fear of punishment, reforms make slow progress,
and-are frequently held in check until
the acvcuthulated power breaks forth in
revolution. History repeats itself and
in monarchic¢al foruis of governnient in
different countries the progressive steps
are marked by revolutions, The rulers
of Europe are learning wisdom by experience, and many of themare pursuing the wise policy of conceding what
the pesple demand, when to resist
would endanger their thrones:
Under,our form of government pro“gréssioff is the ralé,and he who opposes

The war through which the country has
passed, awakened a study of the character and purposes of the government
on thé part of the pedplée. They are

~which-under our constitution and government must be established, and those

his party and forget the principles upon which he was elected: No one who

. transitive verb. Ifshe was not opposed
nee epee pean
‘=
Well fp ‘her Attempt prove hopea
to Webster and other standard authorities 1 might be convinced; Webster,
in_his unabridged dictionary. says.:—
“Hope as a transitive verb is seldom
ised, and the phrases in which it is
usel are eliptical for being understood.” He gives an illustration’ from
Dryden: “And hopes the hunted bear.” .
So in eliptical sentences only is hupe a’
transitive verb, and then only by poetic licenge.; But in ‘we hope .to
find the study,” there is no élipsis, and
the verb is not transitive. K. E. would
not say, “we hope for to find.”K.E. disposes of all my proofs by
denying the authority of one of my
principal authors. She says Brown
does not appfove of him. She takes
Green for authority. Brown doves not
approve of him, and says, “Green is
singularly absurd.”
K. E’s passive voice is aptly illustrated by the -phrase, “the bube sleeps,”
rendered “the babe is slept.”
In my last communication I affirmed
that the infinitive was an adverbial ele
mént, and if this can. be proved, the.
will now state my proofs: Gould Brown’s [
authority says: “If we admit that sentences, parts of sentences, infinitives,
participles with their adjuncts, and oth.
er phrases, as well as nouns and ‘pronouns, may. be in’ the objective case, it
will be no easy matter either to define
this case, or to determine what words
do or do not govern it.”
Weld gives the following rule: “A
verb in the infinitive mode is generally
used to-limit the meaning of verb,noun,
or adjective ;as,“I hope to succeed” —
the very verb in controversy.
Green says, “a verb in the infinitive
may limit another verb.”
Quackenbos says, “any word that
modifies a verb, adjective or adverd is
an adverb, though it may usually appear as some other part of speech,”—
This is the text bouk prescribed by the
Stete Board of Education.
Again—a verb in the infinitive may
also be used to limit the meaning of
some other word or a verb. ‘‘l wish to
go,” and ‘I hope to find,” are naturally
the same.” One is limited by “to go,”
and the other “to find.”
Brown’s Grammar of Grammars,page
496, obs. 11, says: “The notion that
one verb governs another in the infinitive just as a transitive verb a noun,and
so cannot be also governed by the objective case, is not only contradictory to
my scheme of parsing the infinitive
mood, but is also false in itself and repugnant to the principles of gencral
grammar.”
Again he says on page 517, obs. 3 :—
“Every active transitive verb or participle has some noun-or pronoun for its
object, or some prononial adjective
which assumes the relation of the objective case> Though verbs are often
followed by the infinitive mood, or an
independent clause, forming a part of
the logical predicate ; yet these terms,
being commonly introduced by a connecting particle,doq not form such an
object as is contemplated in our definition of a transitive verb, is the only
proper criticism of this sort of verb. If,
in the sentence, “boys love to play,” the .
former verb is transitive, as several
“rammarians affirm, why not also in a
thousind others, as ‘boys like to play ;’
‘boys delight to play ;? ‘boys long to
play” “the boys seem to play; the
boys cease to play?”
It would seem to me that these dif.
ferent antborities, all taken as standard, are sufficient to establish the adverbial character of “to find.’ This being true, the whole basis of the argument apon which the other side rests is
gone, and the verb hope must be admitted intransitive. E.C.8,
