The learned commentator, upon whom
the Beliefonte IVatchmen depends for such
matters, explains that "a Slight error in
the Hebrew translation has led to the an
parent great disparity in the ages of the
patr!archs and the mOderns. In readinr
concrete numbers the Hebrews gave the
large number first, consequently when the
translation reads "And all the days
that Adam lived were $50 years, and he
died ~ the true reading of tho rule wyt,ld
DC, and all the days of Adam, which he
lived, were hundred years, aad thirty
and nine years, and he died." making the
entire age of Adam 139 years instead of
93o years. BY the same explanation the
reported ages of others arc reduced.
Seth's from 9l2 to 121; Euos' from 935 TO
la Gains from 9lO to 119; Enocl.'s from
BIO to ia Methusaleh's from 969 to 12l
and Noah's from $50 to 1G9-averagipg
about 12o in accordance with Genesis, vi.
3: " And the Lord said, My spirit shall
not always strive with man, ior that he is
also flesh, yet his days shall be a hun
dred and twenty years" This was the
regular good old age of men, with special
variations, both before and for some time
after the days of Abraham.

There Is reason for believing that the approach
Ing Reunion of the Society OF the Army OF the
Potomac viii attract large number OF visitors to
Washington IL IS somewhat strange that this
army, which marched about the Capita! as its base
of operations so long, should have held thirteen
annual reunions before returning TO hold one In
days, and around which lie Its numerous battle
nelds and the bivoulcs OF Its dead. One would
naturally think that Of all places which could be
chosen for the reunions Of this army Washington
would be the fayOrite, as 1t Is surely the most
appropriate. But whether the Society of the
Army Of the Potomac holds It's reunions here at
frequent intervals or goes elsewhere for another
Hong term OF years depends Chiefly upon the man
ner in which the business men OF Washington
Improve or neglect the present opportunity. The
people OF this city are as generous as any in the
world They often subscribe literally In order to
give ecat TO events like inaugurdtionS, which can
not take place elsewhere. This generosity Is
however, wise and profitable. Whatever attracts
visitors TO our city also brings money. and the
amount which will be left here by the Society Of the
Army OF the Potomac will far exceed what It VIII
cost to make It's welcome by the citizens OF Wash
1ngton compare fayOrably with that the society
has met with IN other cities. Ii should not be
forgotten that, so far the veteran soldiers are
concerned, the essential features OF the reunion,
such as the business meeting, the Grafton and
poem, and the banquet take pl indoors, and are
paid for by the society itself IL the occasion is
made one OF parade 1t is chiefly because whatever
attracts visitors Is also beneficial to the DIT perty

The revolt against machine methods ami ma
chine rule inaugIrated by democrats OF Baltimore
last fall, has eAtentei pretty much all Mary
land and now embraces many men hitherto con-
spleu1uS IN party Affairs. There are now two
distinct faction~the reformerS aggressive and
determined, and the regulars Sulen and deSDOn-
dent The reformeTs are organizing for avOwei
publication of the party. They declare that con-
tinued democratic aseendency depends upon the
adoption and enforcement of reform prime piles;
that dissatisfaction with machine rule is so wide
spread that thousands OF democrats prefer repub-
hcan success rather than to perpetulte II. The
democratic machine OF Maryland Is, according to
the men OF that party who now seek Its over
throw, Just as arbitrary, despotic AMI unscrupu-
louS as was the republican system in New York
and Pennsylvania, which so many voters CT that
party condemned at the polls last November. In
Baltimore, particularly, the bosses have been all
powerful Conventions have met, but to carry
out the Will OF few leaders and pre-arranged
States have BEEN nominated regardless OF the
wishes Of the mass or voters The In dependent
democrats declare themselves for reform. They
prefer 1t within the party II that can be attained
but are determined TO have it at any cost The
regulars still control the machine, and they see
In the independent movement nothing but an
effort TO destroy the party. They dcnounce the
reformerS as "SOre heads AMI refuse to affiliate
with them Unless the two factions can unite
their forces. It is generally admitted that the re-
pubcans will carry the state at the next election
The prospect Of that unity IS anything but hatter
ing TO the democrats at present. The Indications
are that the democratic party OF Maryland Will
have TO go through the experience of the republic

order to crush the machine

Dud Writes from Coal Creek Concern
ing the slumbering Giants he
Has Met.

]. r. Buchanan.
Coal CREEK, November 20, 1883. Left
Franceville at TAO p. m. this day week.
Was driven over to the railroad. There
is no station house-only tank. After
Eshivering one hour in snow storm,
train came along. Arrived in Pueblo all
OK. Found matters somewhat dull in
the Pueblos. News-daily-ab about to
suspend cause, too much republicanism
last election. Rio Grand under the new
regime are turning off men by the whole
sale. Geo. Kannon & CO., South Pueblo,
iron molders, are trying gouge game.
They were to reduce the hours of the
men, that is, the hours to be paid for.
1t does not necessarily reduce the hours
they have to work. Nine hours they are
to be paid for, but from causes which l
do not fully understand, they. may have
to work twelve, hours. They are on
strike and warn all molders to steer
clear. There are good men in the Pu-
eblos.
Coal Creek dawned upon my vision
about 8 p. m. Sunday, and l was deci-
dedly prepossessed with its rugged
beauty. How the pine an spruce -four
ish in all their pristine beauty, The
town itself does not assume any aesthetic
airs, yet there are some neat business
houses and dwellings; also one paper,
the Enterprise, which appears to be do
ing we'll. l found the same old war GO
ing on here which is agitating the whole
civilized world. the struggle of right
against might. The time is coming
when this issue must and will BIB met
The toiling millions will arise in the full
majesty and dignity of their manhood
and in its full meaning compel their
right to life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness. The miners here are util-
izing 70 some extent their rights under
the new mining law. They have ap-
pointed check weighmen and men to
look after the air and machinery. The
question whether the company should
use the nut coal without any compensa-
ton to the men who dug it was being
strongly agitated. Of course this is a
gross injustice on the face of it, but by
majority vote they decided to submit
to the grievance and make virtue of
necessity. But this, like other griev-
ances, is slumbering and at the proper
time will bear fruition. - '
There are many noble men in Coal
Creek and surroundings Now, I have
no desire to make invidious distinctions
or might enumerate. 1 can say with
all my heart God speed the men of Coal
Creek, Williamsburg and Rockvale.
They comprehend this question and will
be heard from when the time comes.
