Rev. De Witt Talmage does not take

it will multiply infidelity and pro-

have been abandoned. Here is para

middle of which are buried the blessed
words "Jesus wept," instead of stand

tent meaning. Ireject the new version
because of its amazing triviaiity. You
remember Christ's sermon, when he
speaks of putting new wine into old
bottles. The new version substitutes
the word "skins," as if they could not
explain bottles as well as skins"
"Show me penny" said Christ. The
rexisers say, '.Show me a denarios."

We see from Washington special
to the st. Louis Republican that Star
Route Brady's Sunday organ, the
Capital, made q furious assault on
the President last Sunday apropos of
the employment of A. M. Gibson to.
mid in the star-route Investigation.
Gibson was until recently the WASH
ington correspondent of the New York
Sun. The Capital concludes as fol-
lows Q two-column editorial addressed
to the President: - "a a9ia
.sThe issue is the simplest one that could be
framed in language. II Mr.. Gibson is not a
libeller, you are = bribe-taker, thief, periurer,
and suborner Of perjury and forgery. II you
are not bribe-taker. periurer. thief, and
suborner OF perjury and forgery, Mr.. Gibson
is q hbeller under the criminal statute. One
of you ought to be in the penitentiary, and
that upon your own respective shovings of
record. Both Of you cannot be at large with
out an outrage upon the first principles Of
justice; and yet we are told by the New York
Times that Mr. Gibson has been retained with
your approval in capacity the most respon-
sible. most delicate, and requiring the highest
type OF honor, integrity and tristworthiness
Surely, Mr.. President, there must be some
mistake about this; butt there is mistake it is
. dreadful one-a mistake that will hauHtyyou
to your dying day, and damn your memory
long after you are dead, as the only President
of the United States who ever voluntarily GER
titled to the honor, integrity and trustworthi-
ness OF q man who for nine years has steadily
branded you as bribe-taker, thief, liar, per-
jurer, and suborner of perjury aud forgery"
The inference from the above diatribe
is that the star-route fellows are afraid
OF Gibson, and they have adopted this
method of frightening the President
ipto Diminishing him. IL will probably
not succeed, though there is deal of
cold, grim logic in the utterances of
Brady's organ.
