WE received a copy Of the revised test
ament last Saturday. The first steps to-
wards this revision were taken in 1870,
and since then American and English
scholars and theologians have been dill
,ntly at work on II. All the corrections
made in the revised version do not
away with any main fact The funda'
mental doctrines Of the Christian relig'
ion are not changed in the slightest de-
gree by The new version. The first great
change which will strike the reader is
the entire emission Of the doxology Of
the Lords Prayer, Matthew 6:l9 The
words, "For thine ls the kingdom, and
the power, and the glory. forever,amen,"
are expunged from the text The rea-
sons given for taking away from the IA
mi.iar prayer these words, is that the
clause is not found in any Of the author.
itative uncials, and it does not exist in
the Latin Vulgste. He'll is not abolish
ed in the new version as has been an"
bounced. All that has been done in this
connection is to expunge the word hell,
where it has been improperly translated,
and to substitute for it the proper word,
the Hades Of Greek mythology, which
simply means the temporary abiding
place Of departe d spirits. In all passa'
ges in which the Greek w"rd "Gehenna"
appears, it is faithfully translated hell.
The devil, the prince of darkness, still
holds his place in the Bible under the
translation of the revised edition Of the
New Testament, but he holds a some.
what slbordi late ore. He does not en-.
ter 30 largely into the complications of
human affairs as in the old version. The
expression, possessed of the devil" is
translated in the new version possessed
of Demon" and is shown to refer sim,
ply to peculiar disease, which, in our
day and generation, is lied madness.
Wherever the word "devilp refers to the
prince of darkness, the title is preserved
in the new edition. The book is issued
from the Oxford and Cambridge presses
in england, and half a million copies
we're sent to the United States, and first
put on sale on Friday last, American
publishers will issue editions this week,
which will be sold from five cents up,
wards. Undoubtedly revival of scrip.
ture reading and study will take place,
possibly out Of mere curiosity. 1t is
doubtful if the revised edition will sup
plant the King James version. ItlaCks
the familiar look of the Testament peo-
pie are accustomed to; the division Of
chapters and verses is changed, and al
tt gether it looks quite unlike the old
book. Tine may change it, but it will
not be in this generation.

the Cleveland Leader "is vouched for by

MALONE IN A DEVIL OF A FIx.-Ma-
hone was not in the chamber when the
announcements were made, but when he
came and learned what had been done,
he seemed very much perplexed, and to
a friend summed up the case with an air
Of great concern in these words; "Well,
this places me in devil of fix" Sub
sequently, when he had Conned the nat.

not intend to take sides. He wished
we'll Of the Republican party, and had
faith that the differences would in some
way be adjusted, although he did not see
how that was to be done, and had no
plans to propose, Still later in the day
Malone relapsed into perplexity, for

advocate of equality and right. He had

quently demonstrated of late years, es>
pecially in their counting in Hayes as
President over Tiden who was elected
by some 100000 majority.
This article is lorger than we intended,
but it is an interesting and important
topic. The young men Of our land
should know more of Thomas Jefferson.
Round him centered the great battle for
Constitutional liberty and good govern
ment. He was the philosophic states
man of the Revolution, the author OF
the Declaration OF Independence, Of the
statutes of Virginia securing religious
liberty; and the active statesman leader
in resCuing the government from the
grasp of old federalism with it's corrupt
ing and monarchical tendencies. OF
course no man was more abused and viii
fled than j lfferson in Lis day, and the
editor of the Repository wearing the Nc.
Kinley collar, exhibits his Federal taint
by calling h m 'old Jefferson? &c. The
nam of the author of the Declaration
who was the organizer of the Democratic
par y, is yet power in the land. His
name lie yet tsism that will help to
arouse the people to rally, and combine
to hurl from power the Bob Ingersoll,
Federal Republican party. So mote ii be-
Thomas Jefferson believed in the or
der of nature; that this was a world Of
law; that humanity, Individually and
collectively, were amenable thereto, and
could not escape the consequences of vi
olated law. Hence his doc'rine of "a
"wi;e and frugal government which
"fhall restrain men from il Ijuring (rob'
bicg) zone other, and ehall leave them
otherwise free to regulate their own
pursuits of industry and improyem nt
"and shall not take from the mouth Of
labor the bead it has earned" This
he called "the sum Of good government"
lie also says: "All, too, will bear in
mind this sacred principle, that though
"the will of the majority is in all tasea
ito prevail, that will, 10 be rightful, must
"bp reasonable; that the minority possess
rights which equal law must proty ct,
"and to violate, would be opp, ession."
Is it any wonder that GaIheld and the
Republican leaders abhor Jefferson? His
noble sentiments they neither entertain
nor act upon. Theirs are despotic views,
and they have shown themselves Capa-
BILE of intolerance, worthy Of the dark
ages and belonging only to tyrant rule

The curious report came from Wash
ington last week that Foster has teen
laboring with the administration to have
the dogs called of. The Governor is al
legged to have some apprehensions that
the Larty in Ohio has about as much Of
a load as it can carry, and as the Cover
nor is on top of the load, he prefers not
to have the wagon break down, 1t is
somewhat singular that since the Gov.

Gov. FOSTER has wagging tongue; at
least the New York Evening Post seems
to think 80. 1t says the sooner the Pres
ident puts a stopper in the mouth Of
Gov. Foster aud the irrepressible spokes-
men the better. The occasion Of the
Posts remark was the publication Of an
interview in the New York 7ribaMs in
which Gov. Foster is reported as saying:
"An implied promise Of that character
to consult with the New York Senator'S
before making New York nominatiOnsl
was given TO Mr.. Plstt. 1t was urged
upon the President, and he said 'all
right" or something to that feet.
In the multitude of cares Of Office the
President forgot his implied promise to
Mr.. Platt, tn consult him before he sent
in the name Of Collector"
The Post thinks if Governor Foster has
nothing better to say, he should initiate
