ing obscure in order to frustrate hypothetical
official curiosity. II secrecy is important, it
would be better to use cipher. In the major
ity OF cases, the true plan is to take the officials
into your confidence, and write your message
in such guise that he who runs may read. As
an illustration Of the ingenuity with which
people will express themselves, as il for the
very purpose of defeating their own object, we
may cite the following: A lady, some short
time since, telegraphed: "Send them both
thanks" by which she meant, "Thank you;
send them both"-the "both" referred to two
servants. The telegram reached Its destina-
tion as "Send them both back" thus making
sense as the official mind would understand it,
but complete perversion of the meaning Of
the writer. Nothing was gained by putting
it In this way; the cast of the message would
have been just the same if put differently, and
as the telegraph ignores stops, the message az
it stood read like nonsense. 1t happens that
9TH" is not unlike "b" In the Morse alphabet,
and this, coupled with the fact that ''back"
seemed to be required as the last word, fully
explains the error

THE demand for American wines is SO
great that a leading merchant in the trade
says eff it increases much more American
wines will soon be staple article, like su-
gar, tea and coffee. More and more money
is being invested every day in the wine
business, and, according to Arpad Haras-
itchy, the Hungarian producer of California
wines, over $3O,000,OOO is invested on the
Pacific coast alone. Last year California
produced 100000 gallons of wine, of
which 1000 gallons were sweet wine. Of
brandy 100000 gallons were manufactured; ;
also raisins to the value of 100000. The
sale of grapes for table use yielded $3.50, 600.
The total yield from the culture of the grape
amounted to s3,5O0,OOO. Over 10000 acres
were planted in grapevines also, and it is
said this year 20, 600 acres will be added.

THE LAST IRISH RoUBLE.

The arrest of priest in Ireland on
charge of fomenting sedition has been
made the occasion for fresh outburst of
indignation against the Government. The
only question of practical Importance
would seem to be whether the priest did
what he is accused of doing. If he did
there is no reason why he should not be
arrested as anyone else would be under
like circumstances If he did not, of
course his arrest is a mistake. But no such
considerations as these appear to have &C.
CURED to the Irish mind. That mind has
rushed to the impulsive conclusion that
the arrest is somehow an attack upon the
Catholic Church, and it is spoken of as a
means of cementing all the factions again,
and uniting them for common assault
upon the Government. Strategically
viewed the step may have been a blunder,
because the Government ought to have
known the kind of people it is dealing
with. But when priests. or if
priests, go out of their way to
play the demaeogue, the Govern
ment cannot, without perhaps mourning
greater dangers, accord them an immunity
which it denies to the rest of the people.
OF course it ought to make very certain
that Father Sheehy had done acts justify
ing his arrest, before it resorted to such a
measure, since no more disastrous blunder
could be imagined than the arrest of an
innocent man under such circumstances.
Right or wrong, however, the Land
Leaguers have determined to make the ut
most use of the incident, and it is toler-
ably clear that they do not care at all
whether there was warrant for the arrest.
or whether it was wanton outrage.
They will claim it as an outrage in any
event, and they will doubtless embarrass
and entangle the already sufficiently con.
fused situation still more

FIRES IN CRAM rIELps.

Already several serious fires have oc.
CURED in grain fields, and much loss has
resulted. The public should understand
that it is impossible to be too careful at
this time of year, and the railroad compa-
MES should sec to it that the escape of
cinders and sparks from locomotives is
prevented as completely as possible. In a
grain field fire near Stockton the other day
it is alleged that the confagration was
caused by some members of picnic party,
who flung lighted cigar ends out of the car
windows into the dry wheat. This was
criminal carelessness, and ought to be
severely punished if the guilty parties
could be identified. 1t is perhaps impossi-
BILE to avoid these fires altogether, but it is
certainly quite easy to prevent such wanton
recklessness as is alleged in the case re-
fsrred to.

citations into modern languages, and that
we .sdecIate that by correcting the errors
ssof Greek copyists and English translators
the Church abandons the doctrine of
inspiration" Now, at this point We
must correct Mr.. Rice, and remind him
that we spoke throughout of plenary in
spiration, not of modified, CT half.and hall

significance which it was disingenuous

'sno psrson well informed upon these
e subjects will confuse them for mo-
''ment.' All the confusion is, we regret
to say. in the mind of Mr.. Rice.
The questions are not "antirely distinct
"and Independent. The fact is that
Church doctrines have been founded, in
many eases, not upon the original manu-.
scripts of the so.ealled sacred writings,
but upon the TRANSACTIONS of them, or the
copies; and that tho Churches have
claimed plenary inspiration, not for the
original manuscripts alone, but for the
TRANSACTIONS. Take fer instance the word
He'll, which has been supplanted by the
word Hades . in the new version. Had
the second word been used instead of the
first in the authorized version, it is per-
fectly clear that the doctrine of the
Churches would have been different. There
are plenty of similar changes, similarly
affecting doctrines, and since the fact that
these changes are made involves comics
sion of error in the past. the theory of
plenary inspiration is fatally attacked by
them. 1t will not do at this time for MIR.
Rice or any other theologian to talk too
freely about so.called inspiration, . for
the eyes of the people are being opened to
the fallacics of that and similar preten-
sions, and dogmatism will not carry the

MR. RIcE,s CRITICISM.

Mr.. Rice has been made happy at last
He has discovered bluuder in RECORD
UNION editorial, and it happens to be a
genuine blunder. We shall not shun the
penalties in such cases made and provided.
We did employ a wrong word, and under
circumstances which justify Mr.. Rice in
retaliation. But while we admit SO much
we are not disposed to admit our critic
hasty verdict of g invincible ignorance as
the cause of our mistake, and we would
suggest to his better Judgment that had we
been ignorant of Greek, as he infers. we
could not have known that the word
translated charity" in the authorized
version of the New Testament, really
means Glove" Even theologians as dis
tinguished as Mr. Rice have committed
far more serious slips than the one upon
which he fastens so eagerly, and We must
point out to him that though we mad
vertently employed a wrong word, our
criticism was entirely correct, as he him.
self is compelled to admit. In making this
admission he necessarily contradicts his
previous assertion in regard to our criti-
cal qualifications. But we will let tina.
pass. His second attempt at correction
VIC cannot admit the force of. In that he
exhibits a presumption and an ignorance
peculiarly theological. He says that We
"confuse the inspiration Of the men who
" wrote the Bible with the accuracy OF copies
