CLIMBING STEEP GRADEs-FOUR HOURS AHEAD OF
EVERY RIVAL TRIBUNE REGION.
HOTEL KAATERsKILL, Aug. 17.-THE SUNDAY
TRIBUNE arrived here at o'clock this morning,
coming by special tram four hours ahead of all the
other New-Y ork les. The papers transferred
at Phenicia from The TRIBUNE special on the Ulster
and Delaware Railroad to another IL readiness on
the Stoney Glove narrow guage road, and even the
earliest risers at the various hotels and boarding.
houses throughout the mountains found their
papers awaiting them.
The run between Phenicia and the Kaaters-
kill, a distance of about twenty miles, is
usually made III hour and ten minutes. The
grade is too heavy to admit of much greater speed
as the tram ascends 1,2S7 feet, rising in several
places $50 feet TO the mile. But under the guId-
ance of Engineer Todd IHE tribune special made
the trip in ffty-six minutes; one of the fastest
runs that has been made on the road
Bundles Of papers thown of at Tannersville
by F. j. Schroeder, THE TRIBU agent, and at
several hotels along the route. and special engine
on the Hunters branch carried TRIBUNEs throu gil
that portion of the Catsknls.
The country could scarcely look more beautiful
than il does at present. As The Tribune special
wound It's way through the mountains whose
SUBMITS only touched by the sunlight the
views here and there in the early morning were
superb. 1t is Il pleasant ride up into the Caskills

noticeable from the large number of arrivals,

TIE WIZ OLD-TEATIMENT.

The revised translation of tho Old Testament,
which will shortly be published, may not take the
place OF the authorized version In popular estima-
ton but it may be fairly expected to clear up
many infecities and o5scurites Ill that version
which puzzle the ordinary reader.
The "uuIcorn" which never existed out
side the English Bible will ut last be
killed. and the "wld OK" substituted In
its place. The Book of flasher" will be
changed to the Book of the Upright" Sunday
school children will be no longer troubled by the
doubtful ethics of the Israelites in borrowing"
iewelry from the Egyptians and then running
away with it. The revised translation will rightly
state that they asked for gifts. not loans. Josephs
many-colored coat" will be "tunic.P The
celebrated passage in the Book of Job. " Yot
in my flesh shall SEQ Cod" Will be changed to
"Yet out of my flesh" etc. Judgment also will
! lay to the line, and righteousness to the plum
metz will reads 81 will make judgment for liue
aud righteousness for a plumb line" In Psalm vii
the passage Thou hast mado him little lower
than the angels" will bet Thou hast made him
a little lower than Cod" in Psalm xxxvii.
the passage Fret not thysclf in any wise to do
ey1lD will be changed TO Fret not thyself; il tend
eth q evil" And In Psalm xviii. the passage "The
Lord gave the word great was the company OF
those that published it," will be made to read
Tho Lord giyeth the word, and tho women that
bring glad tldings are a great host"
These are fair samples Of many Of the
changes which will he made The aim of
the trauslators has been TO reproduce tho mean
ing of the original as closely and accurately
n, possible. Ii is pleasant TO know that this object
will be attained without aaccting any Of the great
dogmatic statements contained I'm the authorized

needed at present some application of practical
common sense to monetary affairs.
In April the decrease In the debt less cash on
hand was $5,232,O75 20. There was paid
80. 1O1. 16O of the bonded debt, and the interest
thereon was reduced $2,64S,159, and the bal
ance was due to changes in cash on hand and
certificates outstanding
But, "a to the cash on hand, the comparison
of daily balances shows that the Treasury held
May 1 only S197,955,45 in gold, against
S21O,074,O69 April I, loss Of $13,01S,611.
To balance this, It has gain of $l,722, 575 in
silver, the amount held having risen to
1874, $40 731, and decrease in the amount OF
paper outstanding of various kinds. The
change in amount of legal tenders and legal
tender certificates not held by the Treasury was
small decrease of only $1597S5. The de-
crease in silver certificates outstanding was
S175, 900, and 1t Is to be observed that the
channels of circulation still refuse to hold any
larger amount of this kind Of currency. The
great change has been in gold certificates, OF
which $11 1888, 900 have been redeemed by She
payment of the gold. Thus the Treasury has
expended $11,672,9 $50 in redeeming It's paper
of various Sorts and $l750,549 in paying
other public debt and interest thereon, and as
consequence of the months operations IL holds
S13,O1S.611 less gold and $l,722,575 more
silver.
The revenue for the month was very large;
otherwise the loss of gold would have been
much greater. The receipts from customs were
SI5,2l3,35S, against about $13,O00,OOO last
year, when imports were delayed to take adj
vantage of the lower duties soon to go into
effect. The internal revenue was $40, 1OS,3SS
last month"; against about 50, 900, 900 in April,
1883, when payments on tobacco were gener-
ally held back until after the new law went into
force. But the fact that especially needs Con-
gressional attention is that the large revenue
has barely suflced to make the moderate pay
ments on public debt and interest for the past
month, and has not prevented depletion of
the gold reserve owned by the Treasury
Nominally the available cash balance has in
creased $1,731,OO0, but $l,S97,G35 more
silver is included as owned by the Treasury,
in excess Of silver certificates outstanding, and
$780, 7Sj more Of legal tenders on hand. The
daily balances show that the amount Of gold
held, in excess OF certificates outstanding, had
decreased during the month 81, ,521.
Congress must surely comprehend that such n
change, at the very season when the reserves in
the Treasury and the banks ought to increase
largely, does not promise well for the future.
The call for SIC, O0O, 900 of the per cents will
now take from the Treasury another large sum,
and Secretary Folgcr will find it ditdcult to
protect his reserve. But Congress will see, if it
considers the matterat ALL that we must incyita-
bly, enter upon Il new fiscal year and period of
ncetainty in the fall with reserves considerably
reduced, and thar the revenue as it stands leaves
but lttlo margin tor possible emergencies
after providing for the sinking fund and the &C
emulation of useless silver.

pORE 1YO TKJCHJNOSIN.

Professor VirchOw says that only a few cases
OF trchinOsis from eating American pork have
occurred in Germany and they are confined to
Bremen. The North German gazette, however
rcnews its attacks on American pork, and argues
that, as trichnp cannot be detected without IN
inspection so elaborate as to be impracticabe,
prohibition is the only means OF protection.
Professor Wicklow points out the necessity OF
extreme caro- in tho roaring of hogs, and this
caution may well be needed. For while there
is no doubt that the German sem-olicial press
has greatly exaggerated the extent Of the evil
it is clear that some diseased pork has been eX-
ported. The presence of tTichinD in pork Is
primarily attributable TO carelcssness on tine
part of those who raise hogs. The presumption
is that it arises from foul feeding and neglect OF
sanitary precautions. That it can be prevented
is shown in the absence of trichn;e from the
greater part of the pork packed in this country,
and packers are doubtless on the watch to ex-
clude all hog products which are not up to thu
standard.
. But there is precaution which, if always
taken. would leave the Germans without any
ground for complaint. The evidence shows that
the extension of trichinosis from the hog to the
human being is almost always facilitated by the
peculiarly German habit of eating hog products
without cooking them. Smoking pork will not
destroy the vitality OF trichin9 but cooking
will, and if all pork were thoroughly cooked be-
fore being eaten there would be few or no eases
of trichinoss. IF, therefore, the German press
would devote q little of its supcr1uous energy
to combating the habit of eating this kind of
food raw, it would do its own people a real
service by Kidding them of a bad habit, and it
would at the same time remove the sole sound
objection to the free importation of a cheap and
nutritious class of food products, deprived of
which the German masses must find it harder
than ever to make both ends meet
