A London cable dispatch speaks
of the continued unpopularity of the
Revised New Testament in England.
Religious and literary circles there
appear to regard it with a feeling
to positive hostility, and almost the
only commentator it receives from
the press is based on the opinion that
it will go far toward dispelling the
notion that the King James Bible is
infallible. In this country the recep.
tien of the new edition is friendly il
not enthusiastic, and no sect, except
perhaps the Baptists, who want the
word baptize rendered immerse, has
thus far shown any antagonism to-
ward it. This marked difference in
the sentiment of the two English
speaking countries may be accounted
for by the force of tradition and
established forms in Great Britain,
and the greater mobility and liberal
ity of the American mind.

The locust plague is reported as
ravaging the whole Chowan section
of North Carolina, eating up every
kind of vegetation. The reports must
be exaggerated, as the locusts are
said to be destroying the forests of
saw mill timber, which would be
something never heard of before.
The project of tunnelling Mont

The EgOtiSt.

He is an uncomfortable bore, and
you must listen to the exploits of
"Great 1" or else appear uncivil. 1t
never occurs to him that you may
not find his talk interesting. Nothing
surprises people of this kind more
than to. show them you are ignorant
of what may have befallen them, and
that you have net turned over and
learned by heart the last uninterest-
ing little chapter of their small lives.
The trifling incidents of their house.
hold comprise everything which is
worth knowing-to them ; and your
ignorance of said accidents is looked
upon as personal affrent and the
sign of almost criminal indifference.
If these worshippers of "Great /"
have any specialty-say they are
artists, musicians, authors, actors,
and what not-they assure you there
was never such triumph known as
that which they have just now
achieved. Their experience is abso-
lutely phenomenal. Even their charl-
ties are done out of their supreme
selfhood. II helped him /; 1 was his
salvation in the day of need he came
tome for advice, and 1 pulled him
through" How often we hear these
phrases form the snowy, self-compla-
cent folk who think their smallest
deeds are worthy of being trumpted
forth to mankind as the finest hero
isms of the noblest men! Where the
soil is poorest for humanity, there is
it the richest for egotism. The roots
of the "Great 1" are in us all, more
or less. but we prefer the less to the
mere and, if we must have excess,
would rather by far it was an excess
of thought for others than of thought
for ourself.

The magnificent success of Secre-
tary Window avoids the issue and
sale of any new four or fou. and half
per cent bonds. This is exceedingly
fortunate. 1t would not have been a
popular step to sell four yer cents at
this time, however large the price
obtained, because an additional por-
ton of the debt would thereby have
been placed beyond the reach of pay
ment for many years. Hereafter the
surplus revenues can be used until
1891, if it is deemed best, in paying
off the three and a half per cents
which are payable at the pleasure of
the Government, or, if the condition
of the market should render a pur-
chase of the four or four and half
per cents more advantageous, that
course can be taken. For the next
nine years an average of $50, 000, 900
year can be applied to the reduction
of debt, however, without paying
more than par for any bond, retired,
if that course is preferred. These
splendid results show what the Ad-
ministration is dong for the public
welfare.

Why the Democrats Carry Maryland

The Baltimore Tribune, a Demo-

strong point against the ring:

The policy Of the Conkling and
Plat stalwarts is now pretty we'll
defined. They hope to keep up the
deadlock until they force an adjourn
ment. The fight would then 60 over
until after the November elections,
and in the event of the Democrats
getting control of the legislature, the
Governor would reconvene the pres
ent legislature and the balloting
would be begun anew. The alterna-
tive of choosing two Republicans or
leaving the elections to the next
legislature would be prevented, and
the half-breeds, foreseeing no chance
of splitting the Conkling ranks,
would, under pressure from Wash
ington, vote for Conkling and Plat
rather than Democrats should have
their seats.

1t used to be said during the Civil
War that the preachers and the
women were the most bitter rebels
in the South. After the war ended,
many of the Southern preachers were
conspicuous for their efforts to keep
alive feeling of animosity toward
the North. We entertain no doubt
that the great body of the Southern
clergy have fully emerged from The
slough of sectionalism, but there are
few stragglers left behind. Ore OF
them objected to certain hymn
book in the Southern Presbyterian
Assembly on Friday because it was
published by Northeran firm. He
wanted the patronage bestowed upon
Southern concerns. We wonder
how this reverend gentleman man
ages to use the Bibles made by the
American Bible Society. Unjust an
noy him to read the word New York
on the title page. But perhaps he
imports an English edition.

Three enterprising citizens of
KeedysvilIe, Washington county,
Md, have purchased forty acres Of
land near that village, for the pur-
pose of establishing a fruit farm and
engaging extensively in the cultiva-
ton and marketing of the choicest
grades. 1t is their intention to plant
about 5000 peach trees, and of that
number nearly 1000 have already
been located. Together with the APP
pies, peaches. and grapes, which will
snter largely into the yield of their
farm, other small fruits will also be
cultivated.

The Vice Presidency was given Mr..
Conkling to placate him, and the In
dependents of New York, to whom
Mr.. Arthur was deeply distasteful,
so anxious for party harmony that
they overcame that dislike, and gave
the ticket hearty support. Recent
events show that the man elected is
so plant and ready tool that he is
merely an extension of Mr.. Conkling.
Still the latter was not satisfied.
Then five excellent appointments
were given as rewards to his most
devoted friends in the State. He took
these without so much as saying
"Thank you ;" but the instant there
was an attempt to recognize others
who did more to secure the State
than he did, who labored cheerfully
for the party from the first, while he
was yet sulking in retirement, he
flies off in a petulant rage, and hence
all these tears Toledo Blade.

small stream of water close by, kill

hundred yards. Since the fire, men
have been employed in quarrying
this hardened SULPHUR. About for
ty men were thrown out of employ
ment, but the work will be rebuilt
very soon. One of the iron safes in
the Office contained $4,000 in notes,
which were found uninjured, though
the iron was at white heat during
the fire.

Our Representative.

wise. as to what part our Representa-.

able evidence of his fitness for the

the discussion of the question of the
duty of the government to those

charged with enforcing the laws ant
maintaining the just powers of the
government under the Constitution
In this debate he bore himself with
manly dignity and becoming circum-
spection, towards the able gentlemen
whom he opposed on this question.
At the same time he dealt powerful
blows upon the untenable positions
assumed by his adversaries, and
adroitly warded off the vigorous as
saults leveled at him in the course of
debate.
In this discussion, he impressed the
whole House with the soundness of
his views upon this important consti-
tutional question, and secured for
himself a high rank both as a lawyer
and debater and the learning, re-
search and ability displayed by him
on this occasion, called forth from
many of his associates, high enconi-
ums. Having acquitted himself so
ably in this instance, as we'll as on
subsequent occasions, as the faithful
representative of the people, it is but
natural to assume that he will prove
equal to the emergency in the matter
of the proper disposition of the FED
eral appointments.
We are confident Mr.. Urner will
display, so far as it may be incum-
bent upon him, his accustomed sagac-
ity, prudence and honesty of purpose.

correct conclusion in disposing of
this perpleXing, but certainly all inn
portant matter. Mr.. Urnel's relation
to this question is one of the utmost
gravity, and he, doubtless, very fully
appreciates it's Importance. He is
sensible of the fact, that he holds a
highly representative relation to his
party in Maryland, and to the adj
ministration and that it is of para
mount Importance to both, that wise
policy be at once inaugurated. look
ing to the building up of the former
and assuring the success of the latter,
so far as our own State can contribute
to this result.
We suggest, in spirit of utmost
frankness and candor, divorced from
all selfishness, and with an eye single
to the true interest of the party in
this State, that the necessities of the
case requires the immediate decapita-
ton of the leading officials in the Bal
timore Custom House, for the reason
that they do not enjoy the confidence
and respect of the Republican party.
They are not in accord with the party
organization in the State, they cannot
lead it and they stubbornly refuse to
follow it. Hence the party is dis
jointed and abnormal, and its forces
therefore cannot be rallied to a COM
mon center, but habituaIly meet the
enemy with broken and discovered
ranks, vulnerable at all points and
consequently easily put to flight. No
one better understands the obstacles
in the path to success than Mr.. Urner /;
and no one better comprehends the
remedy which would remove the OBJ
structions, which have long blocked
our pathway to victory. Therefore
let him confer with the ether leading
men in the party, and thus secure
united party action, and 60 before the
