The national bank circulation is now higher
than it has ever been before, the total amount
being $362, 900, 900. In the present prosper
GUS condition of business there is a more
urgent call for money than for a long time
before, and there is complaint in some parts
of New England of a scarcity of bank notes.
A recent visitor to Sojourner Truth, who is
now LOG years old, reports her as saying; 81

come over there and lecture but she says.

and if they want to hear and see me they
must come over here. When l get up to talk,
she continued, 81 never know what am 60

The famous Mother Shiptons Prophecy"
which has been repeatedly exposed as mod
ern fabrication, but which still finds credu-
lous believers, has again been run TO earth in
the New York Observer, which gives his
tory of the deception. Mother Shipton's
Rhymes were first published in 1641, but
they did not contain a single one of the pre-
dictions of modern events that have been at
tributed to her. In 1862 Chas. Hindley Of
Brighton, England, published an edition Of
the book Here for the first time, were CIV
on the predictions, and Mr. Hindley subse-
auently confessed that he was himself the
author of the prophetic rhymes.

not change facts by denying their existence.
A system of peonage and terrorism exists
here which, if tolerated much longer, will de-
populate the parish and my sons, as Re
publicans, have been opposed 10 this, and we
have, therefore, incurred the displeasure Of
those who practically deny the freedom of the
negro. On account Of political prejudice en-
gendered and existing here against Republi-
cans, crimes against them can be committed
with impunity, and therefore they are encour-

A Good Word for the "POOr whites"



In Norfolk, Virginia, saw a company of
country people bringing into the city the pro-
ducts of their farms, dressed hogs, fowls,
eggs, etc. There were perhaps a dozen or
fifteen carts and wagons, several OF them be-
ing driven by women. All appeared TO be
simple, kindly, shy people, somewhat fright
ened at the noises and ways" of the city.
One woman had three or four fat hogs. Half
a dozen hucksters came about her, asking
prices and trying to buy. One was a most
vepulsive looking young man, who evidently
thought to show himself q superior person,
by being insolent and abusive to these poor
people. He made an offer in loud and bois-
ferrous tones of particular sum for the hogs,
and when the woman hesitated, as if making
mental calculation, and evidently little con-
fused by his violence, he cursed her, telling
her that she was fool not to agree TO his Of
fer at once. Then he repeated the offer, and
on her remaining silent, he insisted that by
her silence she had consented to trade on his
terms. This she denied, and then he poured
out q food of most foul and violent abuse,
threatening the woman with arrest and i'm
prisonment for violating q contract, though
he had done all the talking himself. The
woman's neighbors were evidently afraid of
the fellow, but one of them ventured to re-
monstrate against such abuse of a woman,

il he did not want good kicking, and the
man obeyed. longed to knock the rascal
down, but reflected that was an observer,
and that although knocking him down might
make the affair more picturesque, it would
not add TO the real value of my report. This
was one of the first things which saw at the
beginning of my journey through the South
ern states, and have seen a great many sim
liar occurrences. The poorer class Of white
people throughout the South are, very many
of them at least, good and kind, with many
lovable qualities, but they have SO little 'spir
it" or courage, so little power of fself-defence,
that everybody is insolent to them. They
are far more helpless and abject, usually,
than the negroes. But l confess to liking
them. They are so human, so domestic and
they are among the few people left in this
modern world of ours TO whom still belongs
the old-fashioned virtue of humility. They
have for me pathetic interest, as represen-
tatives of a type which is rapidly becoming
extinct in our country, and, 1 suppose, in
most of the highly civilized countries Of the
world

the height of 20 feet, and in the work
nearly the entire convict force of the prison
is now engaged. There are at present 123
conviots in the prison. temporary wooden
barricade has been built outside the stone
wall to prevent escapes. The old south
workshop" has been entirely torn down, and
the foundations are being laid for q commo-
dious and convenient building Of brick, l4Ox3S

cOmmodation for all the convict labor Of the
prison. It will be devoted to the mAnufao-
ture of boots and shoes, five years contract
for which has been secured by the prison d.
rectors with a Boston firm at 90 cents per
diem. This is an advance of five cents day
for each man over the old contract which ex-
pired May 10. The prison officers dwelling,
built in 1908, will be removed, and an attrac-
tive and substantial building erected in its
place, 4Ox44 feet, and three stories high.
The old and new prison viii be connected by
this structure In the basement will be q

officers of the prison. A residence for Su-
perintendent Rice and family will be built In

The prison and buildings when completed
will be warmed by steam, lighted by gas,
with other modern improvements. Superin-
tendent Rice has proved TO be the right man
in the right place, and his management OF
prison affairs Is highly commended.

Col. THOMAS A. ScoTT, the creator of the
Pennsylvania railroad system, and one of the
most successful railroad managers in the
world, died Saturday, May 21st, at his coun-
try residence at Clifton, Pa. From 1850 to
1880 he was the moving spirit of tho Penn
sylyania railroad and in that period he carried
the road across the state, gave it connections
branching over the West, extended it TO New
York by annexing the New Jersey system and
made this whole network the most admira-
BILE piece of railroad organization in the coun-
try. During the war he was of great assist
ance to the government in managing the
transportation of troops, and was made as
sistant secretary of war under Stanton. 1t is
hardly an exaggsration to say that, with the
exception Of three or four of our greatest
generals, no man contributed more to the
suppression of the rebellion than Col. Scott,
and some even of their best work would have
been impossible without his peculiarly vaiua-
BILE aid. He was man of great staying pow
ers, but his labors overtaxed his stocky,
sturdy body and his death at Sc was the col
lapse of an old man.

GERMANY's Loss OF PoPULATIoN.-No ma
ton feels the loss of population by emigra-
tion so severely as does Germany, because it
has room for them at home. They leave be-
cause of the hardships imposed upon the peo-
pie by the Government, and because of the
depression Of business and of values largely
due to the demonetization of silver, which
was the money of that country. During the
past decade enough able-bodied men have
left Germany to make three good army corps.
Fifty-six per cent. OF all the emigrants that
left Germany during the last decade were
males. The result is surplus of a million
Of females. Most of the emigrRnts now leav-
ing Germany are between fifteen and forty
years age-the age when men are the most
useful as producers. One hundred and fifty
thousand will leave the present year, having
an average Of $50 each or So, 600, ,O00 But
this is only one item. Thousands of them
are skilled laborers, and are the products of
that system of compulsory education which
makes the child, from the time Of its birth
until fifteen years of age, direct expense TO
the Government of $3G year. As one-half
of the emigrants are between fifteen and
twenty-five years of age, they leave the ooun-
try while yet in debt to the Government for
their education, which is frequently most val
liable because it gives many of the young in
struction which makes them skilled laborers

THE NEW TESTAMENT REvIsERs. 3S
men chosen to translate the New Testament
were selected as the most competent scholars
known in England or America. Allowing
that there were a fair number of others as
competent as they, yet there were confessedy
none better. Nobody has complained of any
lack of competency on their part. To begin
with, their judgment was as good, at least, as
that of all possible critics. But their origi-
nal advantage has been immeasurably increas-
ed. They have now been at work for ten
years on this one task. There is no consid-
Grafton affecting the translation of q single
word which they have not carefully studied.
II there are five reasons for a different
translation of any passage. they have consid-
cred them all, and also the six or ten reasons
for the translation they have adopted By
long study, these 38 men have made them
selves more competent to have an opinion
than the whole English-speaking world be-
sides. That is the simple fact. Probably al.
most any one of them would carry more
weight of reason than any hundred of their
captious critics. This, we repeat, is the SIM
pie fact, patent on the face of it, patent be-
fore publication of their work, and sufficient
ly settles the matter. We have not enough
self-confdence to set our Judgment against
that of ten years study of 38 such men. We
accepted their work thankfully, and with some
humility. even before reading. Having read
it, we still accept t.-IHdepeRdent

Senatorial Courtesy in 1874 and 1851.
rErnnn lie Rnrln aheld uninn-1


When William A. Simmons was nominated
for collector at Boston in 1874, Massachusetts,
Republicans were vastly more stirred up about
it than the New Workers have been over Mr..
Robertson's nomination. Both Massachusetts,
senators, majority of the representatives,
and the Republican press and politicians of
the state, save those friendly TO Gen. Butler,
protested against it in the strongest terms.
Senator Oonkling at that time did not think
enough of senatorial courtesy to give Sena-
tors Sumner and Boutwell, lift, but, on the
contrary, led the fight in favor of Simmons
confirmation. In urging confirmation Mr..
Oonkling said that Mr.. Simmons was not
charged with want of honesty, capacity or
integrity, and that the charges made against
him were too vague and general to be worthy
the consideration of the senate. Either Mr..
Conkling has changed his views very much
about senatorial courtesy since 1874, or II
makes great difference whether it is Massa-
ohusetts or New York senators that object to
nomination.
