TIE REVISED OLD TEST1uFYr

1t is now stated that the revised version of
the Old Testament will be published in Eng
land on the 10Th of the present month, and IN
this country two days later. The earlier publ
cation in England is because, according to the
British copyright law, priority of publca-
ton is necessary in order to secure the benefits
Of the law. Present indications point to large
sale of the revised Old Testament, in both Eng
land and America. although it is not likely
that the sale will equal that of the revised New
Testament The publication of the latter work
has in a measure discounted the interest in tho
work Of the revisers. The public soon learned
that no fundamental doctrines or articles of
faith were disturbed by the revision of the
New Testament, although such changes might
be looked for, especially in the New Testament.
Nevertheless the revision ofthe Old Testament
has been awaited with great interest by the
English-speaking world. While it NAV be true
that no fundamental doctrines of the Christian
Church rest wholly on passages from the Old
Testament, il is also true that the New Tesla
mcnt is intimately related TO the Old Tesla
mcnt, and that full understanding of the lat
ter is necessary to any true comprehension of
the former. Moreover, the authorized version
of the Old Testament is so hopelessly
obscure in many places that its true mean
ing cannot be learned by the average
reader. This obscurity is due partly to an in
accurate or incorrect translation, and partly
TO an infelicitous choice of readings by the
King James translatOrs No one can too highly
value the work OF the King James
transators. Nor does the authorized YER
sion of the English Bible need words OF
eulogy or defence Mt this day. But il is no dis
arrangement of its many excellencies to say that
it is not perfect. Scholars know we'll that in
many cases it conveys a meaning not borne out

TIE MAYoRS APPOINTMENTS.

Mayor Grace yesterday filled the places of the
commissioners whose terms had expired. NO
one of the former incumbents was named Tor
another term The list eXcites mingled emo
tions Some of the names may be regarded
with satisfaction and even welcomed heartily.
For others it is possible to find no apology or
excuse.
Michael Coleman succeeds Mr.. Asten as
| President of the Tax Department. Every
| friend of honesty, economy and justice in mu-
nicipal administration must regret that the
city loses the services of Mr. Asten, but the
Mayor could not have found a man better
| fitted by experience and special qualifications
for his place. Mr. Coleman has almost grown
up with the department, and his expert knowl-
edge of every branch and detail OF It's work Is
unsurpassed. Such labOrs and such abilities
as his deserve high recognition, and to re-
ward them by promotion is in the
line of true Civil Service Reform. The TRIB-
UNE advocated his appointment as Tax Com
missioner three years ago. We congratulate
him on his well deserved distinction.
Mr.. WINS, who has long been an intimate
personal friend and business associate OF
the Mayor, will fill the measure of the
Chamberlains Office acceptably, but Mr.. Grace
would not have acted unwisey if he had reap
| pointed Mr.. Laidlaw, who was all that City
| Chamberlain should be.
The choice of NJ. G.. ID. Borden for Park
| Commissioner is an excellent one, and we have
no doubt that DIR. G. E. Simmons will make a
| competent Commissioner OF Charities and Cor
rection, though Mr.. Hess had fairly earned a
raappolntment. Ex-Judge Matthews is trans
fcrred from the Police Board to the
| Dock Department. We wonder how
he was persuaded to consent to the change, the
Police Commissionership being the more lucra-
tive and important Office of the two. John r.
Voorhis goes from the river front to the Null
berry st. marble building, where he will prove
an irrepresslble thorn in the side to Commits
sioners French and McClave. Mr.. Grace's
personal pet. PurrOy the jaw-breaker,
gets the long term as Fire Commissioner,
| and Edward Smith the short term. Ex-senator
Joseph Koch goes into the Dock Board and
Charles Reilly becomes Commissioner of
| JurOrs5
The person who can discover any motive
of public policy or any desire for
the public good in such appoint
ments as those of - Puroy, Reilly and
Koch is endowed with supernatural powers
of dlvination. Mayor Grace Is bent on
strengthening his personal following in
politics and is determined to get every munich
pal department fully in his power. He is am
bilious, shrewd and energetic. He has now got
a grip on the Police Department the Fire De-
partment, the docks and other great divisions of
the municipality that cannot be lOosed or shaken.
One mans will has never been so powerful for
| good or for evil in the city government as Mr..
Grace's will be hereafter.

THE ARBJTR1TIOY COMEDY.

Engishmen will have to excuse the world for
laughing at them. Their Government has
emerged from the negotiations with Russia in
so sorry plight as to excite more ridicule than
sympathy. Every important point has been
scored against them and an illusory peace has
been obtained without dignity or honor. For
few days, in consequence of the Prime Minister'S
ambiguous explanation, the arbitration agree
ment was taken seriously as involving some
concession Of real Importance on the part of
Russia. The St. Petersburg diplomatists after
watching the byplay with cynical amusement,

1ONG-SUFFtRJNG PUBLIC

Incidents continually occur in New-YOrk
which, if taken alone, would seem to indicate
that all manner of persons here take positive
pleasure in trespassing upon the rights of the
public. At one time it is a contractor engaged
in blasting out the foundations of a house who
blows in the side or front of some neighbOring
dwelling, destroying the furniture and perhaps
wuunding the inmates. Or it is some corpora
ton that suddenly tears up whole block OF
some street, and keeps huge excavation open
for weeks, poisoning all the ppople with the
fumes of the gas-and- sewage-steeped soil, and
stopping traffic completely. Or it is gang of
workmen who domoish building fllinS the
air with suflOcating dust for hours together and
throwing pieces of timber and masonry down
upon the sidewalk, to the peril of life and limb.
The other day piece of recklessness
of this kind resulted in the fatal injury OF one
child and the serious wounding OF several
others. Occasionally these episodes are diversl-
fed by such cases as that of Buddenslek, when
it is brought to light that we have among us
class of professional builders of unsafe tene
ments men who for the sake of few dollars
coolly and deliberately erect structures which
they know must tumble down, and which they
also know will in all probability tumble when
filled with men, women and children.
Discoveries of this kind excite Indignation
and disgust for n short time but the memory of
them does not endure, and in few days the
busy public are agog over some fresher sensa-
ton, and the past outrage is lost sight of. AS
b the swarms Of lesser imp0stiOns practised
upon the community, it is scarcely worth while
to mention them, though it is clear that their
educational influence is by no means weak, and
that by accustoming the public to being de-
frauded they pave the way for much more con-
siderable wrongs and abuses. But it should be
apparent if indeed any one cared to reflect or to
inquire, that the common trespasses upon
public rights are the direct consequence, not
of special depravity or malice on the part OF the
trespassers, but of the prevalent absorption In
private business which renders the majority
needless of passing annoyances. 80 general Is
this self-absorption that it is the constant but
tress of all kinds of abuses. Foreigners re-
mark that New Workers put up with worse
treatment at the hands of those who act for
them and purvey for them than any other peo-
pie would endure.
1t is n dangerous form OF submission, an
emasculating kind Of liberation, however, and
whatever business men may think it is evidence
neither Of patriotism nor sound commercial
sense. Nothing is 40 costly in the long run as
the neglect of public duties. and nothing pays
so badly as the sellishness which refuses TO re-
spond to appeals for organized resistance to
invasions of the general welfare.

ANYTHING R4THER THAN DISCUSSION
For impudcnce higher than the snow
crested mountains, wider than the untrodden
Sahara and deeper than the unfathOmcd sea,
give us The Louisville CoHrier-JournaiI Just
listen To this o." Protcctionists will prefer any
thing rather than an enlightened discussion of
their doctrine and its results" From June till
November of last year hundreds OF Republican
speakers and newspapers did nothing but dis
cuss the tariff issue. All over this broad Land
they presented in contrast the two principles of
political economy. And how, pray tell Us, did
the free traders meet this INTEL gent discus
sion They said that the issues Of the day were
moral, not political, and they carefully pointed
out that it was only limited kind of morality
they meant anyway.
When the fair condition Of American labor
was contrasted with the pauperizcd and
wretched state of foreign workmen. they said
that the Office of President was purely execu-
tive, and that the Solid South no longer alarmed
them When their attention was called to the
wealth of the country under IT'S protective sys-
ten, they replied that the testimony of four old
pastors was clear attempt to beg the question.
When the universally disastrous history of free
trade both in this country AID everywhere else
was recited in vouminOus and convincing de-
tail, they retorted that deadly parallel column
was more important than the notorious 1899
contracts of the Public Works Department or
the palpable corruption IN tho Sherlif's Office.
And finally when the magnificent results upon
American industry and American National
reputation of twenty years of protection were
elaborated, they ended the argument by pro-
foundly assuring the people that they loved him
for the enemies he had made.
After such a beg2arly exhibition of cowardce
ms this, it makes us tired to hear the lonely
basso-profundo defances of the Kentucky
chevalior and the shrill dscord of his democrat

The Congress of Churches which is to be held
at Hartford on Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday
Of MS week has Of course legislative judicial
or executive power. 1t Is Simply gathering of
representatives from various Cnurches who will
talk about some of the questions of tho day with
frankness and honesty. 1t is not hkely chat the
Congress will succeed In changing the opinion of
any one on ecclesiastical questions. Nor indeed is
such result expected But the coming together
of the churches for the Interchange of views is
benefit even though every one goes home with ms
opinions unchanged. Moreover the very fact OF
such a Congress being held is an interesting
evidence That the churches have become more
tolerant and moro united on the fundamentals OF
belief than they have been in the past. For this
all friends Of Christianity should be thankful. I'm
belief in all its forms Is to-day strong and aggres-
sive and the Church will need all its united
strength TO oppose 1t successfully. II the present
Congress of Churches does no more than to show
that men who call themselves Christians can forget
for a time at least that they do not always agree
about the cut of vestmeut or the Interpretation
of a manuscript. 1T will not have mot in vain.
