The Revision of the Bible,

The new version of the New Testament
was the general topic for comment Sunday,
aud appears to have been received with
favor if not with delight by both pastors and
people. The judgment passed upon it was
necessarily hasty and uncritical; for men
had scarcely time to more than glance at
their copies. The feeling was one of relief
that the material changes from the King
James version were so few, and that in all
cases where retention of the old text
would not mislead it has been retained.
Some archaisms, incomprehensible without
the aid of glossary, have been struck out:
many misapprehensions arising from made
quate translation of Greek lenses have been
corrected. A considerable number of mis-
readings have been made right by the aid of
the manuscripts recently brought to light
or but lately studied; and the few passages.
like that concerning the Heavenly witnesses.
whose spuriousness has long been admitted
by Biblical scholars, are expunged. But
the changes are, after all, slight, and will
seldom interfere with the familiar applica-
tions Of the old texts.
The changes made are indicated on the
margin of the pages of the new version, and
people have full opportunity to compare the
two texts. The more they study the
changes the better, we think. they will be
pleased. For time they will look upon
the revision as a commentary then will
unreseryedly accept it, The learned men
having this most important matter in charge
have earned the thanks of all English-speak-
ing people. They have carried out their duty
with wisdom and fidelity and all will rejoice
that they have found it necessary to make
so few changes in the sinewy and rythmical
English of the King James version. 1t is
fortunate that the American committee did
not have its own way; for in that case the
would in many instances have
been altered for the worse.

THE Democrats are amusing themselves
at the expense of the Republican party just

about-and no one of the new parties will

MARTIN Kankowsky, wLo calls himself
Louis Kettler, is charged with killing the
woman he had just made his wife, His de-
Tense is novel one. The officer who ar
rested him said, ''You are charged with
murder" and Kankowsky replied II speak
little English" He has stuck to that line
OF defense ever since he was caught. 1t goes
way beyond the insanity plea.

PHILADELPHIA Press: 1t is no reflection
upon William E. Chandler that his nomina-
ton for Solicitor General was defeated by
the solid Democratic vote. He can well
bear such opposition. As he has never
spared the Democracy, it was natural
enough that they should not be disposed to
spare him, and since they had the temporary
majority of the Senate they were able to
outvote his friends. To be beaten by his
political opponents is no dishonor, and the
result in this case is probably the most for
tunate solution of an unpleasant complca-
ton. 1t relieves both the President and the
Attorney General, and leaves the way open
to provide for Mr.. Chandler elsewhere.

The readers of Puck have no doubt
noticed the scantily dressed little fellow
on the title page, and have probably
wondered why the publishers have not
given him more comfortable clothing
during the cold weather of this winter.
The fact that the little chap might have
been uncomfortable appears to have
entered the minds of the publishers,
for we notice that in a recent issue they
have given him a more liberal allow
ance of clothing-he having been in
vested with new green neck-tie.--
If Puck only had a pair of boots on
he would be full dressed and ready for
any amount of zero. If Puck is cold
himself, he certainly has the faculty of
making such individuals warm as he
deigns to patronize with his crayons.

We were waited upon on Monday by
parties who desired US to publish in the
ARGUS, letter in reply to the one in
our last issue, but as the reply in ques-
ton did not deny, or attempt to prove
that any of the charges set forth in the
letter signed by "Many Democrats"
were untrue, but was a TRADE of per-
sonal abuse against some of our citi-
zens, we most respectfully declined to
give it space in our columns. The AR
GUS has never been addicted to allowing
in any way through its columns one
party to abuse another on personal
grounds, and we think that it is now
too late in its career to commence such
a course. AS we intimated before, if
the friends of Judge Tuttle desire to
disprove the charges against the Judge,
our columns are open, but we cannot
and will not publish articles containing
lot of personal cpithets, based upon
nothing but personal prejudices.
