nal should be remanded to the dock.
The District-Attorney stated that he wan
ted no more special guards about the
assassin, and that he wanted the Marshal
to take him to the dock. Mr.. Scoville
accused the District t-Attorney of giving
notice that the prisoner was to be placed
where he could be shot, and of virtually
inviting assassins to shoot him. Judge
Porter characterized Mr.. Scoville's words
as vile imputation on the District-Attor-
ney.' The trial was suspended ON Mon
day in common with all other public busi-
ness in Washington. Saturday the pris-
oner continued his grotesque bufoonery
from the beginning to the end of the ses-
sion. DIR. Gray, of Utica, New York,
closed the evidence for the prosecution,
and added his opinion to the long list of
cumulative expert testimony that the
prisoner is feigning, and playing before
the public what he believes to be the part
of an insane man.

faction and assassination without losing
their sslfcontrol or their faith in the per-
manence of their institutions2 Viewed
by the highest standards, it has been a
thoroughly progressive year, and we need
not be appalled, by the abysmal horrors of
assassination.
Passing now to brighter topic, this has
been year of Bible study, as we'll as of
assassination. The translation of the New
Testament has been brought to a close
after nearly eleven years of critical study,
and the English-speaking world has had
the best text presented to it as nearly as
possible in its true meaning, so far as the
original Greek was concerned. The work
has represented the best scholarship of
the day, and may be looked upon as the
most conspicuOu; achievement of modern
textual criticism. Enormous editions of
it have been sold, and unquestiOnably a
powerful impulse has been given to Bibli-
cal study. But has the outcome been
commensurate with the expectations ex-
cited i'll religious circles? We fear not.
Public curiosity was satisfied only too
easily. When the world found out that
the Revised Version had not touched the
fundamental doctrines of Christianity,
and that the accepted text was substan-
TALLY accurate and far more natural and
rhythmical, it apparently ceased thinking
about it. When King James version was
Published it converted frivolous nation
into sedat- and serious race of God-fear-
ing, tyranny-hating colonists. In this
generation the seed falls ON stony ground.
The Revised Version does not seem des-
tined to make an Overmastering impress
sion on the Anglo-Saxon world. 1t will
leave it very much as it found it.

the wrongs, social and political that have

TIE Baltimore Times asks the question:

The Baltimore Times asks the question:
Has it ever occurred to anybody why it
is that four or FIVE politicians, not one of
whom would probably be admitted to a
gentleman's parlor, are able without taking
the public into their confidence to dictate
who shall or shall not be senator?"
The editor answers the question. that
it is election frauds which put disreputable
men ia office and patronage which keeps
them there But the puzzling question,
why, in state holding millions of people
all with the same privilege at the ballot
and the law as for instance in New York
and Pennsylvania, should one man be able
to hold them in his hand and put up and
put down whom he pleases? Is it not
because they are afraid to assert their
freedom?
