The revised Old Testament will be
given to the American public Thursday
morning, unless the English committee
agree to DIR. Schaff's cabled request
that the day of publication be fixed for
to-day wednesday,. The agents in
the United States for the Cambridge
Press are the Lippincotts of Phila-
delphia, for the Oxford Press, Nelson
e. Son of New York. The University
Press of Oxford and Cambridge bear
jointly the entire expense of making
the revision, more than $1,000 and
it is for the protection of their English
copyright that the book is issued in this
country some days after its appearance
in England, the English copyright law
exacting the publication first in Great
Britain. In the case of the revised
New Testament, the publication here
occurred two days later than in Eng
land. Of the English editions of the
revised Bible, complete, six will be of
fered Thursday, varying in price from
81 to S52.50-the first in one volume,
pearl type, the last in five volumes, plea
type. Few editions of the revised Old
Testament will be printed in this coun-
try. One firm in New York and one in
Hartford, Conn, have announced edi-
tons. When the New Testament APP
peared, public interest was so great aud
the cost of publishing so light that more
than thirty American editions were is
sued. Most of the publishers lost money.
According to the estimate of a promi-
nent book importer, the sale of the re-
vised Old Testament will not amount to
more than two hundred fifty thousand
copies during the first year; but after
that there will probably continue to be
steady, if small, demand.

THE Mormons have brought the rifle
and the petition TO the defence of i'm
periled polygamy. In Idaho, recently,
the United States deputy marshals were
resisted by force of arms, and in Wash
ington, week ago, Mormon delega-
ton called on the president, bearing the
formal protest of the Mormon hierarchy
against the enforcement of the anti
polygamy law. The president quietly
received the document and said he
would consider it. The establishment
of civil service and the extinction of
polygamy would be glory enough for
the present administration. In the pur-
suit of these objects the president will
not be without party and his tenure
of the executive Office will not be with
out distinction.

Ex-Governor Page INDICATED.

The great railway suit at Rutland has
ended in a verdict for Ex-Governor
Page. The trial was by struck jury,
as provided by an act passed at the late
session of the legislature, directing the
court to summon special jury in cases
requiring :" fair and impartial trial of
an issue of fact" or when demanded
by the importance, intricacy or special
circumstances of a cause" This fact
gives strength to the vindication of Mr..
Page. 1t is source of satisfaction not
only to the defendants personal friends,
but to the people of the state who are
interested solely in seeing that justice
is done, that such verdict by such a
jury has been rendered. 1t is assurance
that the facts justified the finding.
People will rejoice that an innocent
man has escaped condemnation, and
the citizens of the state will be glad
that former treasurer, governor, law
maker, and a conspicuous member of
society has been found guiltless by an
impartial and competent jury of his
peers. Personal malice, determina-
ton to break him down, is said to be at
the bottom of this bitter warfare upon
the ex-governor. We are glad that it
has thus far and so signally failed. We
hope and believe that the facts in the
remaining cases will prove to be entirely
on the side of Mr.. Pages innocence.
Popular feeling in Rutland has greatly
changed as the long trial has progressed,
and the announcement of the verdict
was received there with many personal
congratulations and with public demon
STATIONS of delight. The Free Press
Rutland correspondent thus writes of
the animus of the prosecution and of
the consequences to Ex-Governor Page
"No one who has impartally followed the
case had very much doubt as TO what the re-
suit would be. The Clements showed their
teeth so plainly all through the trial that
public sentiment rebelled at the persecution.
1t seemed TO the general public so clear that
ii was a case OF personal hatred that it has
been a matter of surprise throughout the
trial that the directors of the railroad among
whom is Ex-Governor Stewart should have
permitted 1t. That such a persecution could
be instituted against reputable citizen
without the nstigator suffering heavy dam
ages is in itself an Indictment of our present
methods of administering justice. The de-
PENDANT in this case was put to enormous
expense. His good name was tossed about
among as heartless a set as ever tried to sat
isfy grudge; the finger of scorn was pointed
at him; his personal enemies tried to brand
him as thief; malicious lawyers repeatedly
insuted his gray hairs on the witness stand
and all for what? That justice might be
done? Not at all. Only to satisfy the I'M
bounded hate of one small man. And what
is there TO compensate Governor Page for
the great wrong that has been done him ?
The respect and devotion of his neighbors ?

BY the election of a republican to sue
coed democratic representative, the re-
publicans now have majority of one
in the Illinois legislature. After much
excitement and truculent opposition by
the democrats, the new member has
been sworn in. Pending this ceremony,
last week, several ballots were taken
for a senator, which ended in the with
drawal of Mr.. Morrison from the con-
test. An effort to accomplish an cleo
ton was to be made yesterday, with
what result we have not heard. One
republican has been inheXibly opposed,
on personal grounds, to General Logan,
and unless he can be placated the eX-
senator will have to yield to some other
republican who can command ma
iority.

Designating the Rascals.

The political event of the past week
has been the publication of confidential
circular sent by Postmaster-general vi

from Ohio, Indiana and Virginia. The
circular, dated April 20, develops a
scheme for systematically " turning the

sirable that some action should be taken
in the way of removals." and is impa-
tent to assist " our people in securing
relief from partisan postmasters. For
this praiseworthy purpose he had in
tended to invite the congressional dele
cations to come to Washington to con-
slider plan, but in consequence of the
inconvenience and expense of this
course he writes this letter, and begs
the recipients to act upon the sugges-
tons which he makes as to modes of
procedure, and to get some cases ready
within the next two or three weeks,
when he thinks he can "give substan-
tial relief that will take away the impor-
tunity and discomfort" The plan is

ALTHOUGH the Afghan question has
a peaceful exterior, it is believed still
to contain the active elements of war.
English feeling is in state of chronic
irritation over what are regarded as
Russian encroachments and DISPOSE
ton of the government to yield to a
treacherous adversary's increasing de-
mands. While the diplomatists are ex-
changing phrases, it is alleged, the
Russian soldiers are taking all that is
wanted. The latest extension of Rus
sian demands is reported to be that the
boundary line shall be fixed at Zulfica
Pass, and include Penjdeh within the
czar's domains. These two points COM
mand the approaches to Herat up the
valleys of the Heri-Rud and the Murg-
hab rivers, respectively. A feeling is
prevalent that +" the conduct of Russian
officials is sure to provoke collision of
Cossacks and Afghans, and cause the
total failure of the boundary commits
sions." If Russia is bent on war after
she has gained all the advantage she
can acquire by delays, she will not be
at loss to find pretext for hostilities.
Her desire is declared to be to establish
herself on the Indian Ocean, and if she
thinks the time is ripe for successful
advance to the mouth of the Indus she
will not be hindered by any peace ne,
gotiations. The initial points of advan-
tage, Zulfica and Penjdeh, have been
seized, under the eye of England, dur
ing pending negotiations, and from al
points of the continent of Europe doubts
are expressed about the permanence Of
any arrangement likely to be made now
