Talmage Tells What He Thinks Of the New Testa.
ment Revision.
NEW YORK, June 5.-Rev Robert Collyer ad-
mires the revised Bible. DR.. Talmage declares 1t
will multiply inhdellty and pronounces the re.
vision literary botch. Said he to-day: ut will
never be adopted In this country II the fearless
criticism OF tho people speaks out Its mind. re-
ject this revision because Of iLs mechanical fail.
ure; because verses and headlines have been
abandoned. Here is paragraph column and
a half long, in the middle Of which are buried
the words, Jesus wept,' instead Of standing out
in solitude with ell their grandeur, pathos, ten.
cerness and omnipotent meaning reject the
new version because Of its amazing triViAlty.
You remember ChIist's sermon, where he speaks
Of putting new wine In old bottles. The new
version substitutes the word skins, as II they
could not explain bottles as we'll as skins
Laughter Show me a penny said Christ. The
reVisors say show me denarius.' Laughter
The old style was too much for the delicacy of
our American part OF the New Testament com.
pany where 1t says for He was naked The
American committee onOse that II should read
Had on his under garment only Laughter
The new version shapes the faith OF the great
multitude in the Bible, and gives color TO the at
tacks OF iDfdelity." He deplored the circulation
Of statements that there are forty errors in King
James version Of the sermon on the mount, and
l50 900 errors in the New Testament He believed
the revision would make more intidels than 3S
reVisOns could reclaim In the 969 years Of
Methuselah and half dozen other 6iblical ipa
triarchs Of great age combined. Since 1t was
claimed that the mistakes corrected were l. OF i'm.
portant, he could not see the necessity for cor
recting them. Hands off the work OF GCd; re-
member the fate o. Uzziab,' Mr. Talmage shout.
ed, He said II the revision should be revised
there would soon be Baptist revision, g Metho.
dist revision, and soon until possibly" he said
II shall issue q revision"

NO CAUCUS-A POLITICAL PRECE.
DENT,

WASHINGTON June S.-Pollticians and party
managers do not lose sight Of the fact that
the Administration, which Is presumably the
head Of the Republican party, though It's sup.
porters at Albany, acting under It's inspirat on,
has established precedent that will snswer as
the justification Of all who ever In future may re-
fuse to 20 into caucus or come under that species
OF party machinery. To carry its point against
Conkling, the Administration has refused d to abide
by the usual methods and framed a new law,
which Republicans may appeal to, at any time
and anywhere, for refusing to accept caucus for
their guidance as the means to party ends.
The dethr0ning OF the tyrant cannot be mourn.
eli by Republicans who value independ nee or
fairness II this precedent is to be the future law
Of the Republican organization, then at least one
good result has already been achieved in this
contest; and the Garfield Administration will be
entitled 10 the credit Of 1t. II may come back to
plague the inventors, however, who, In their zeal
to beat Conkllng, have builded better than they
knew,
