TIE BIBLE REVISION.

The New York 7ribans of last Thursday
has u page devoted to the revision of the
Bible, just out. In one editorial it says:
''There are two points to which We direct
special attention, because it is important
that certain erroneous impressions derived
from loose writing in the religious as well as
the secular press should be corrected. The
first is that the present work is not so essent.
tally different from the old version as to he u
It .rtlng changes or revolutionary emenda-
tons will be disappointed. tits 4 revision and
not translation. 1t Is purer, more schOl-
arly and more settled text, but it is the same
scripture. Christianity remains unchanged.
Not single doctrine Of faith is c.ouded.
There are fewer errors Of man to mar the
primitive text of the New Testament, but for
all practical purposes the faith of every
Christian believer will remain precisely as it
is. The second point on which we wish to
lay special stress is that the New Testament
has not been unnecessarily mOdernized
The old words have been allowed to stand
wherever they remain ineligible, although
tue! may have gone OUT Oh coihHloh use.
Where there Is so radical change Of mean
ing as to mislead a careless or untutorcd
reader, the obsolete word is east aside, but
the phraseOlogy is in the main unatered.
So intricate is the network OF constant assoc
citation and daily reference which two hun
dred years Of Bible reading have wrought in
the texture of common speech and literature,
that it is a matter of congratuation TO all
lovers Of English pure and indebted that the
common fibre Of the King James text runs
through the new version

"STAR ROUTES"

The New York Times Is authority for the
statement that three Of the Star Routes are
located in Kansas, viz: Cawker City to Nor.
ton, los miles, original contract 81 ,597, raised
to 81, 7G.. J. W. Hughes, contractor; Edo

original contract 81 ,3,i. raised 20 S2,0oo, II.
Tisdale, contractor; Hutchinson to Medicine
Lodge, original contract S34', raised to So
OIL, Z. Andrews, con,ractor.-Er.
So far rs these routes are concerned, the
increase in the service ordered by the De-
partmcnt was proper and necessary, and the
increase in the pay docs not appear to be cx-
ccssive or dishonest.
The fact is that in the wild talk about Star
Routes, great injustice is likely to be done
TO honest contractors and to the public serv-
ice The Champion is entirely in accord
with the sentiment which demands an aboli-
ton Of unnecessary routes, or routes .'expe-
ditcd' simply for the purpose or enriching
contractors but at the same time il wants
the fact distinctly kept in view that all mail
routes ''cxpcdited' ought not to be put down
as swindlcs. The rapid growth of the West
often demands. imperatively, the expediting
Of mail routes. The so-calied Star Route
system is right in theory. The departmet
should have the right TO expedite or in
,rcase the service on all routes when such
Increase is important. II is the abuses of the
Star Route system, not the system itself. that
needs reforming. In Kansas. as rule, the
'outes are not expedited enough, and as con-
sequence many Of our communities suffer
rom lack of adequate mail facilities. This
5 especially true Of the western part Of our

SENATE ADJOURNED.

On last Saturday the United States Senate
adjourned zine die, The Republican Senate
gained nothing. Their '.dead lock- proved
n farce, resulting in practical back down.
The Conkling-Robcrtson affair is simply to
be dcrlorcd.
The closing Of what has been, from polii-
icsl point Of view, one OF the most important
ScssioEs of the higher branch of the National
Legislature was marked by no striking cpl
sode nor impressive scene. Soon after the
Senate met it went into executive session.
and remained within closed doors until few
moments Of the hour of adjournment.
The customary formality OF selecting Il
President pro TEN. was omitted because the
