ENGLISH GOVERNMENT.

The stirring events in England, es-
pecially since the retirement of Mr..
Gladstone as premier, are turning the
attention of the people of this country
more than usual to the governmental
affairs of that country. This is we'll.
The condition and workings of the
English government are but imperfect
ly understood by the great body of our
people. Comparatively but few per-
sons can converse intelligently on Eng
lish affairs, or on the powers of Europe
and their relations to each other.
These are all subjects of the highest
interest, and calculated to expand our
ideas of the movements of the ma
lions. With the surprising rapidity
which news is now obtained from
Europe-reports of important events
received on the very day of their oc.
curence at all the principal points of
intelligence-every citizen has the
means of keeping well posted in for.
eign matters. Next to the government
tai affairs of our own country, cur
young men should acquaint themselves
with what is transpiring beyond the
ocean, thus giving expansion to
thought, and furnishing themes for
intelligent conversation. The peoples
and nations of the world are becoming
every year more closely knitted to-
gether by the increasing inter. commu-
nication between all parts of the habit.
able globe.
Gladstone, who has just retired from
the Premiership, has been at the head
of the English Government a little
over five years consecutively, but ad-
ding his former services in the same
Office, previous to his being succeeded
by Disraeli, he has been altogether over
ten years Premier of England. Glad.
stone and Disraeli have had control OF
the Government for seventeen years,
and under the management of these
two distinguished statesmen some OF
the most radical reforms and changes
have been cOnsummated.

HELL OR SHEOL.

The question why the revisers of the
English Authorized Version" have
substituted an unfamiliar Hebrew
word for familiar English one is ex-
citing considerable com ment. To the
average English reader the former
word conveyed a definite idea; the
latter conveys no idea whatever.
Should the revised version become the
practically accepted version for home
reading, the tendency will be to an
glicize the new word. so that eventu.
ally it will become as familiar to our
ears as the word which it has dis
placed. Perhaps it will retain it's true
meaning, but the probability is that
ultimately it will not wander as much
from its true meaning as has the word
"hell." This word means simply a
hole-nothing more. But because it
has been used as the sole English
equivalent Of the Hebrew "sheoI"
pronounced with the obscured and
the 0 long, as in bowl'), the Greek
Hades and eczema, it has come to con-
vey the meaning only of the last. e.
a place of burning-and has, since
the uprising of Calvinistic theology.
had fOisted upon it the gross ideas of
physical torment, material sulphur
and flame.
The Hebrew "sh'oi" and its Greek
equivalent, "hades," are as correctly
rendered by .he word shell" in it's
chronological meaning as they could be
by any other one English word. So
that if this word had not become so
perverted from its original meaning it
might have been left, and another
word found to translate eczema. But
inasmuch as the idea of torment will
probably always attach to the Saxon
word "hell." the revisers have perhaps
done wisely in importing the new word
into our language.
But the word sheol has fuller
meaning than any English rendering
can give. In other words, there is no
English word which is an exact equiv
alent, an adequate translation. Tn
order to get the full meaning of the
word it will be necessary to notice a
number OF passages where it is used
and to mark the different phases of
meaning in each. For the Hebrew is
wonderfully poetical and flexible
language, and its vocabulary being
comparatively limited. each word " goes
further" so to speak. than in modern
tongues. Sheol strictly has no idea of |
locality attaching to it; that is, it is |
not so much place as a condition
1t is sometimes equivalent simply to |
!" death" thus 1.-The sorrows of hell
comprised me about; the snares of |
death prevented me-" 2 Sam, xii 8 /
where the two words hell and death
(sheol and mavethl seem to be exactly
equivalent, the words being varied |
simply for the sake of the poetry. But
he would fall very short of the truth |
who would suppose that the word
I" death" exhausts the meaning of sheol. !

AFFAIRS IN ENGLAND-PAS
SION FOR OFFICE UNLIKE
THIS COUNTRY.


English affairs, since the retirement
Of Premier Gladstone, have become
much complicated. A new election
for members of Parliament will be or
dered in the fall, and what the p eli
cy of the government under the
new administration will be it is i'm
possible to predict. Under the enlarg-
ed franchise act adopted since the last
election, a very large number of new
voters will for the first time exercise
the privilege Of voting. Politics in
England differ widely from American
politics. In this country there are
commonly two great parties; in Eng
land there are usually several different
policies, each having party adherents
and prominent leaders. A wholly new
House of Commons is to be elected, and
what strikes our Office holders in the
United States as something inc xplica-
BILE is that over one-half of the4nembers
of the present Commons have express
ed their determination not to be can
didates for reelection. If one-half or,
even one-sixth of the members of our
Congress should decline to be consid-
cred candidates for re election, the end
of the world or some great CONFUSION
in nature would be suspected close at
hand. Next to life itself, our congress
men cling to office. Whenever one of
them declines a reelection, it is for
the reason, he considers his prospects
for success hopeless.

MORE HOLIDAYS.

A resolution has been adopted by
the Chamber of Commerce of New
York city, making Saturday afternoon
of each week half holiday. The ex-
pediency of the proposed half holiday
was thoroughly discussed and met
with little opposition. The example
of similar measure in England, which
has given satisfaction to both employ
ers and employees, went far to strength
EN- the argument in its favor in New
York. The reasonableness of such a
regulation will probably commend it.
self to all working establishments. If
found advantageous in England, where
labor is less remunerated than in this
country. it ought to be here where la
Dor is better paid, food and rent cheap
er. 1t does not hold true, as general
rule. that it requires the entire wages
OF working man six days in a week
to provide food and clothing for an
ordinary sized family. The amount
daily spent for intoxicants in many in
stances would more than purchase
food in an unprepared state for the
family; it is the curse of strong drink
that brings poverty and suffering to so
many households.
A regular half holiday every week is
a wise sanitary regulation; change
of one steady employment even for a
short period brings relief, both men,
tally and physically; both employer
and employe would be advantaged by
it. The change would also benefit the
working men, by divesting them of
feeling of serfdom, which the contin-
uous grinding through the week, with
only Sunday intermissions, imparts.
In short. it would require a whole
chapter to mention all the advantages
that would accrue to working men, il
a half day in week were their own.
The relations between employers
and employees need to be more AMIGA
bly, established. Antagonisms between
the two interests endangers the stabili-
ty of our institutions. Capital owes it
to labor to offer the very best terms
and to grant every reasonable indul.
gence. Without this, the collisi ems
now so frequently occurring will multi
ply.

CLEAN CELLARS NECESSARY FOR
HEALTHY HOMES.

In city and country alike, it is the
dark corners, the neglected and little
used places in house, which most fire.
quently contribute to its unhealthfulness,
and liz ways which are the more insidious
because so often unsupported In this
respect the cellars of many houses have
much to answer for, for they are general
ly dark and damp, with no direct rays
of the sun to kill the mephitic gases
which always seek those low levels, and
no ventilation to dispense them, even
where the cellars themselves are not
made the repositories of cast-off rubbish
and vegetable refuse. Therefore the
warning can not be too often given, es-
pecially in the spring, when so many
families move into new honses, and
when the good housewife generally en-
forces the most thorough cleaning and
overhauling of the year, to look to it
that the cellar is not neglected. Their
ceilings and walls should be plastered
and whitewashed or calcimined where
possible, to keep them dry and clean, and
the occupants should prevent their cellars
above all things else from becoming
"poke holes" for rubbish the floors
should be we'll paved or cemented, to
keep out emanations from the soil; and
where this can be done, they should be
ventilated by keeping open, in dry
weather, window or doors communicat-
ing with the outside air. Emanations
from the cellars do not kill in night
they are but too frequently not noticed
at all although damp and mouldy Gel
lars have undoubtedly done much to I'M
dermine the health of many families.
This cellar air is taken up through the
rooms of house gradually, and in small
doses at time, but the warmer air of
the upper rooms produces an upward
current every time the cellar door is
opened, and neglect in regard to this
matter is sure to entail serious conse-
quences because the real reason is so
often Ovnr1ookad

The old Kenosha county court house
has been undergoing demolition the
past two weeks. Its venerable walls
have withstood the assaults of the at
lacking party quite stoutly, but old age
had doubtless somewhat impaired their
power of resistance. Could selection
be made of the most important scenes
and incidents witnessed within it's walls
during the considerable more than
thirty years of it's existence, it would af-
ford things to profit and much to amuse.
There have practiced in this so-called
temple of justice not few legal gen.
tlemen of courtly manners, learned in
the law, and an honor to the profess
sion. Were it not for being open to
the charge of making invidious dis
tinction, it would be a pleasure to
name dozen or more, most of whom
have now passed to court where
justice and equity are blended together
supreme. Then again there is a long
list of those who knew of Blackstone,
"my Lord Coke" and our own juris-
prudence, but who were not particular
stars in the legal profession. At any
rate, spectators were not apt to clam
Der into the little gallery, or stand up
on benches to listen to their bursts of
oratOry. But there is still another
class, whose degree of legal lore was
not above the level of the common
pettifoger.
Of the cases tried in the old court
house there were many involving im-
portant issues. 1t speaks we'll for the
county provided exact justice has
been melted out) that there has never
been but one conviction of capital pun
ishment. Only one man has suffered
the extreme penalty of the law, by be-
ing hung by the neck until dead. The
states prison commitments have been
about the average of other counties.
Of suits at law the number has very
much diminished in later years, and it
is earnestly hoped the new court house,
will be the scene of far less legal squab-
bling than the old. A large proper
ton of the cases carried to the courts
have no business there and might be
avoided. Men of observation are be-
coming to understand that our modern
courts are no certain tribunals of JUS
tice.
