WHY THE New REVISION WILL BE AC-
CEPTED.-Under the above head the New
York Independent gives the following reas-
ons why the new translation will come
into public favor:
''Of course the translation will receive
criticism. 1t asks it and can endure it.
We have sometimes been thought too
much i'll haste to accept it without hesita-
tion in advance. We have been willing
to do it, and the reason is simple. We do
not set ourselves up against the most COM
petent scholars of the world. Their con-
clusiOns will have to be accepted at last.
Now the twenty-five English and the thir-
teen American reVisers were, IN the first
place. picked out as the best men known
in the English-speaking world, the most
competent to form and express wise
opinion of the translation of the Greek
Testament. They have now devoted their
most Iatient study to the subject for five
wears. They have, with the utmost pa
tience, studied every word and weighed
every consideration that will occur to the
more hasty critics of their work. The re-
suit is that of their united wisdom. Put
now against the judgment of all the rest
of the English-speaking world the Judg'
ment Of these forty men, and the OPINION
of these forty men is worth more than
that of the hundred million besides. The
conclusion of one wise man is worth more
than that of a thousand fools. Is this the
surrender of private Judgment? Not at
all. IT, is the mere recognition OF the
trust that we must all put i'll competency

The CRISIS IN BCLGARIA.-The Balti-
more Sun thus states the causes that are
disturbing the young Bulgarian nation:
1.-The privilege of making a disturbance
is by no means confined to large nations,
and Bulgaria is Just now vindicating her
right to International attention by a crisis
in her affairs that may possibly develop
into domestic row of the first magnitude.
Although ground down for many centu-
ries under the heel of Turkish tyranny,
the Eulgarians have always been lovers of
liberty, and have never ceased their strug-
giles for it. Emancipated from the thral-
dom under which they had groaned so
long by the results of the conflict between
Russia and Turkey, they have watched
their newborn rights with jealous eyes,
and have been disposed to guard their
liberties with greater watchfulness than
ever. II was not long before the Bulga-
rians discovered that their new ruler
Prince Alexander, had forgotten that he
was intended to be simply handsome
fgure-head. and was disposed to arrogate
TO himself powers and authority danger
Gus to popular freedom. An ''irrepressi-
BILE cOfiict" at once arose between Prince
Alexander and those who supported him
in his ''centraliZing" tendencies and the
more democratic element, which desired
that the people should be the fountain of
all real authority. In this state of affairs
and after many wrangles with the popular
representatives Prince Alexander q few
weeks ago angrilv declared that if the
people of Bulgaria uId not Immediately
come to terms, he would take the next
train for Austria, and leave Bulgaria to
get along as best she could, without
any prince at all. His subjects not ap-
pearng to be greatly intimidated by his
threalt he changed his base, and the next
day expressed his determination to assume
absolute control of affairs and to make
himself virtual dictator. So far. he has
carried out neither of his threats, and Bull
garii, without paying much attention tC
his pronunciamento, is engaged in looking
ahead for somebody else to rule them
Dropping the role of the Caesar. Prince
Alexander, after the fashion of an Ameri
can polititian who sees that browbeatinl
does not answer and that abdication is
failure, has lately, with some show o
dignity, it is true, endeavOred to influences
the people by tonp of the principality
and to obtain popular "vindication" O
''intlorsemel' of his course. His effort
do not appear to have met with mucl
suc,;ess, however, and it may be that hi
threat of abdication may be accepted a
an actual resignation. Thus it will b
perceived that Bulgarian politics have
strange similarity to those of other couI
tries, and that princes, as well as Jesse
men, sometimes lose the substance
grasping after the shadow. A month az
Prince Alexander proposed to be a royi
dictator; in week or SO he may be ver
glad if he is allowed to be prince, TIL
Bulgarian story has moral that might
applied outside of Bulgaria.

THE IRISH STRUGGLE.-The Philadel-
phia Ereniag Ners thus briefly states the
situation of the Irish people:
THE deepening excitement in Ireland
and the increasing harshness of the gov
ernment point to a crisis i'll Irish affairs.
The ri0ting already begun, and the con-
rentration of troops, show that both par
ties regard the crisis as at hand. 1t is adj
mitted that there is very much less dis
tress in Ireland this year than last but
the resistance to landlOrdism continues
and English troops are now largely en-
plOveC in the work of eviction. All this
proves that a deeper issue than the mere
payment of rents is at stake. The de-
mand for legislative independence is the
real issue. England must grant this or
keep up its barbarOuS assaults upon the
people. and use its army in the lgnOblc
work of tenant eviction. 1t is rather
small business for a great army to be
engaged in, and yet the government is
compelled to follow it up if it pursues the
general policy it has adopted. 1t is evil
dent that the contest Is only i'll its inclp-
icncv. and that it will ripen either into a
revolution or will lead to the concession OF
legislative independence. The latter is
WndI TdrlleII Is really dllIlllS dl. w NHCtiCi
it will lead to more than this is a problem
Quite likely legislative independence will
be followed by a demand for administra-
tive freedom. 1t is really q struggle fol
complete liberty. This England cannot
grant without establishing a precedent
which may lead to other revolutions
within the empire All this is to be con
sidered and it may be expected that power
will be used to the utmost to repress the
uprising in Ireland before permitting any
concessions whatever. This is the secre
of the harshness practiced-so foreign t.
Gladstone's nature The effort is to main
tain governmental ascendancy and to hOlC
the control over Irish affairs. 1t is a re
markable struggle, every phase of which
will be watched with interest"

much money for Jay Gould in securing

for some years placed in the profit and
loss column buying additional land for
depots, and connecting all these opera
tions with the revival of a project that
was abandoned eight years ago because of

a gambling instead of legitimate bust

CHILDREN's DAY-The bright sun and
soft air of Sunday was in delightful con-
trast to the cold dripping days of the pre-
ceding week, as if to be in harmonious re-
cognitiOn of "Children's Day and the
gladstone anticipatiOns of tens of thOus-
ands of juveniles. The M. +. Church on
last Sunday (the appointed day through
out the connecticut presented pleasing
aspect to the assembled audience. Flow
ers, vines and ferns were everywhere that
taste indicated a pleasing effect. OF
course the rose predOminated. There might
never have been a children day had there
been noroses. The Great Teacher declared
himself the Rose of Sharon and the Lily
of the Valley and it was especially proper
that the chief commemorative emblem of
this OccasiOn-a beautifully propOrtiOned
cross, some five feet in height,-was COM
posed mainly of these flowers. The base
of this, where the pulpit stands, was Il
bed of rocks and moss around which were
a number of beautiful shells. In the CEN
tire of the pulpit recess adhering to the
wall was nicely arranged sheaf of wheat
and each bracket and pillar was entwined
with vines and ferns while the chancel
contained appropriate floral decorations.
The children occupied the gallery in the
morning, doing most of the singing, Rev.
Mr.. Rigg discOursing on education.
In the afternoon the School occupied
the audience floor covering nearly two
thirds of it's surface. Rev. Mr.. Rigg was
master of ceremonies" and conducted
them with considerable tact. After sing
ing by the school and prayer by Rev. j
V. Smith, Jas. c. Lassell was introduced
as the first speaker who was followed after
a service of song by Dr. William. L
r. Al Il
about - minutes and were attcntively
listened to. The exercises were varied al
this point by the presentation to Mrs
Lydia Mcdowell, of a handsome silver
pitcher as a testimonial of respect for hel
long and self sacrificing labors at the heaC
Ofthe Infant School, having been its super
intendent since its first organization twenty
seven years ago. The speech of Mr.. Roe
who represented the school, was one o
delicate propriety, the receiver modest,
: acknowledging the valuable token of re
: spect but claiming that there were other
as we'll as herself who had largely aidet
in establishing and conducting the school
, The last speaker was Rev. j. L. Umsted
| who made a felicitous address of abOu
1 the same length as the other speaker,

5 estness and zeal and thought if the Pres

would be powerful.
