Among the first to formally approve and
use the revised version of the New Testament
were the Protestant clergymen of New haven.
A few days ago, In a meeting for discussing
the subject, majority announced a change of
opinion, by voting that 1t was too faulty to be
acceptable. The chief condemnation was of
bad English, the Rev. DR.. John E. Todd de-
claring that he had counted 15G errors of
grammer uncorrected in one of the Epistles to
the Corinthians alone.
The reply made by the American Bible So
ciety to the accusations made BY the brethren
of the Connecticut society rather aggravates
the feeling of opposition in Connecticut than
allays it. The Connecticut critics do not re-
gard it in the light of ga soft answer which
turneth away wrath, +" bat rather as the appli-
cation of f1y-blister. The intimation on the
part of the New York officials that the Con-
necticut society has been only uominally the
e'auxiliary'' which it is claimed to be, is con-
sidered ungracious. The Connecticut men do
not wish to be understood as saying that there
has been any embezzlement of money by any
of the officers of the American society, but
that the affairs of the concern have been man
aged with a degree of recklessness which
would not be regarded creditable to any bust
ness house. The contention is sharp, and is
by no means at an end.

THAT CONTEST:


The people should remember that
Sheriff Miller was obliged to pay fully
$500 dollars in court expenses to get the
Office after he had been duly and legally
elected.
Also that a very large proportion Of
the legitimate business of his office has
been placed in the hands of other par
ties, J. A. Town to make collections,
and serve notices, and in the hands of
the city marshall to make arrests. &c.,
in criminal cases. The Thompson
Bank, Judge Wilson aud others have
taken this course.
Miller's actual receipts for official fees
haye been very light, i'll comparison to
what they would otherwise have been.
An extraordinary effort is being made
to defeat him. This should be count
eracted by active exertions on the part
of his friends, of those for whom he has
worked in the past, and for whom he is
still working. He is deserving of sup
port for his sterling qualities as a man
and for his official integrity and efticien-
cy.
Most of this applies also to Capt.
Mills. lie was put to the expense Of an
election contest because the old ring Of
ficials were unwilling to surrender Of
fees after they were fairly beaten. A
large part of the first years salary Of
both Mills and Miller went to paw the
expenses of this contest. Even it there
had been no contest, they would have
been entitled to a second term, but
with the contest they have a double
claim to reelection.
Remember the Town Walker contest,
and vote for Mills and Miller.

Our opinion still is that the interior

occasions is An outrage on tho party,
that it is duly becoming more odious,
and that, In this contest it did W lillian
Window more harm than good.-St.

srsl officials" had controlled every vii
lage and county Office in tho First Dis

machine and fought for it i'll tho First

ed to buck against the federal jugger-
naut are cody read out of the party by
the little flies that ride on the horns of
tho sacred" OK. and Gen. Baker and
W. w. Bralen will be scratched nu-
merously throughout the First District
because they refused to fall down and
worship the machine. And all st. Paul
and Minneapolis have helped to fix the
power Of the machine upon the First

CLERK HIRE,


Bloom and Crosby, AS County Com
missioners, are making point on Mills
on account of his having drawn pay
for clerk-hire. The fact is, that he has
drawn precisely what the law allows,
nothing more nor less. When the as
sessed valuation of the county, rs fixed
by the State Board, exceeds one million
dollars, the Auditor is allowed two
tenths Of mill on each dollar valu-
ton in excess of such amount. Mills
salary for 1880 was based on the val
uation of 1870, rs made up by James
Walker, which was $21,074 in excess
of one million. He was then entitled
to $500. % for clerk hire.
He more than expended the amount
in bringing old accounts of delinquent
tax, (which had been neglected by for.
mer "tficials) and in making up the pro-
portion which belonged to each of the
different funds.
The same men who, as county COM
missloners, allowed Walker 1885 for
clerk-hire when he was not legality In.
titled to a farthing, are finding fault
with Mills for 81 nply taking Whit the
law allows, and after allowing in full
sessions OF the County Board, his bill
for the amount claimed as above stat
ed.

failed in these things, neither physical power,
nor vast wealth, nor great material prosperity,
