his powerful frame, that two years ago culmin-

tenance and cmaciated cheeks, which all be-
tokened an early departure to an early depar.

Shun the Jury Box,

Judge Van Brunt, in New York, is en-
gagged in trying to demonstrate that the
stupidity which caused the acquittal of
Short, who stabbed Phelan, was in the
jury and not in the judge and district at
torney. 1t is natural effort on his part,
and he seems to be eminently sue
cessful in persuading himself that
the jury was bad lot. We doubt
whether anyone else is convinced by his
efforts. He has sentenced the juryman,
who went down by himself to view the
scene of the fight, to thirty days imprson-
ment and fine, upon the ground that he
violated statute which declares that no
juryman shall seek exclusive information
about the facts in the case before him, or
something to that effect. The judge does
not inform us whether the statute further
forbids juryman to be more intelligent
and Jealous than the court, or to show HIM
self superior to his fellow jurors in
his ability to appreciate the testi-
mony. We do not know what the
New York statutes may prescribe in order
to keep the judges, attorneys and jurymen
on dead level. But we are thoroughly
satisfied from the developments in the
Short trial that men of intelligence are not
wanted rs New York jurors. The jury
man who has been sent to Jail for wanting to
know too much, and undertaking to gather
his own information, thus betraying
his lack of confidence in the willingness of
the court to fully present the case to the
jury, undoubtedly was guilty of contempt
Of court; but it was Of that character
which an honest and intelligent juror
could not help feeling and that class of
men are warned to avoid the jury box in
New York as they would the entrance to a
iail.

More Nonsense.

Objection is made in quarters to the ap-
pointment of Zach. Montgomery, of Cali.
fornia, to be assistant attorney general in
the Interior department because he is said
to be bitter opponent of the public school
system. 1t is admitted that he is good
lawyer, but he " has printed statistics by
which he attempted to show that more i'm
morality and crime existed where the pub
lie schools ilourished, in proportion to the
population, than where they were not
known." And for this reason his appoint
ment is denounced as the worst yet made.
II Mr.. Montgomery had been ap.
pointed commissioner of education we
could conceive of this objection being
raised by the friends of popular education,
but il is arrant nonsense to object to aman
for position because of his private views
on subjects which do not come within the
scope of his duties in the proposed office.
Mr.. Montgomery's opinions of the public
school system may be as erroneous as they
ara unpopular. They are nevertheless the
opinions of many worthy, intelligent
and respectable people. If all such
are tp be debarred from office hold

II Has the Lives OF a Cat.

The anti-discrimination bill, though
slain in the House, survives in the Senate,
which has bill of its own upon the sub
ject, that will come before the House if it
passes the Senate. The subject is not laid
at rest by any means, and will not be until
adequate legislation is secured. 1t is
very short-sighted in the especial
friends of the railroads to seek to prevent
all legislation against discrimination,
since it is manifest that the public interest
is so aroused as to make it sure that some
thing must be done to satisfy the popular
demand. The shrewder policyof the rail-
road agents would be TO emasculate the
| bill so as to make it as weak
| as possible, while keeping up show of
| strength in it to deceive and satisfy the
public. If they can do this they may
secure rest in the agitation of the ques-
ton. They made long stride towards
this aim in amending the House bill before
they killed it; and they were not wise to
slay it, when they might have made it
probably, too weak to be of much account
We see it stated that Senator Lee proposes
to amend the Senate bill to remove the OBJ
jections the railroads have to it. They
will be wise to help him but he will no,
be wise to weaken the measure to the de
gree that will invite their support. 1t would
be better to keep the issue open in all it,
vigor for the decision of the people at tn,
next election, when they will be absolut el,
certain to elect legislature that will tax,
from the railroads their power to regulat,
the trade of the state and to determine tn,
success of men and places in seeking busi
| ness.

The Revised Bible.

The Old Testament revision comes along
four years after the revised New Testa-
ment, and its publication excites no such
public interest as was evoked by the first
general publication of the revisers. The
Old Testament is by no means so import
ant in doctrinal and theological sense as
the New, and the work upon it has not
been viewed with the same critical inter-
est. On the other hand the changes of IA
miliar passages and Of important writings,
are comparatively fewer and less radical
than were those of the other volume.
The interest which followed the first
publication soon abated and the publishers
found themselves with large stocks of un-
sold and unstable books on hand, which
have since been worked off at prices below
their actual cost, and for which now there
would be still less sale, as the two Testa-
ments revised will be bound up together.
The commercial instinct will probably
avoid repetition of this Improbable enter
prise.
The King James revision Of the Bible
was 50 well done that it is impressed very
deeply upon the minds and hearts of the
Christian people of the world, and with
all its imperfections and obvious errors
disclosed in the light of modern learning
it very naturally retains popular confidence
But there is no sound sense nor reason il
the objections that have been made ant
will be made to the new versions, that the!
have destroyed familiar beauties or changed
parts in which popular faith is deep
rooted. The revision was undertaken no
only in spirit of broad learning and con
scientisls( search for truth, but with rever
ont regard for the Scriptures as they stood
No changes have been made in merel
fanciful or captious spirit; and tn
revisers have probably not gone nearly S
far as strictly scientific investigation
would have warranted. 1t is always to b
remembered that this familiar version, c
less than three centuries ago, is the wor
of men, learned in their day to be SURF
but upon whose work the light of all sui
sequent learning has been poured and
deny that their work can be improved is
deny any progress within this peri od

history, and antiquities, which department
have made wonderful development esp
cially in the past fifty years.

How 10 Prevent Imposition.

The objection is made TO the terms and
tone of Postmaster General Villas letter,
to the Democratic congressman, that he is
very green to depend upon them for disin-
terested advice as to whom he shall ap-
point and he iskindly warned from many
quarters that he will be imposed upon by
representatives, who will make suggestions
with a view to promote their own local po-
litical interests rather than the efficiency of
the public service or the credit Of the ad-
ministration.
Human nature is such that congressman
and other people are very apt to do
this sort of thing. They naturally prefer
their friends to their enemies in office, and
they have right to try and realize the
this preference, all other things being
equal.
But they have no right TO deal witt
duplicity blythe appointing power, and tC
pretend that they are trying TO serve The
party and the public, when they are reall!
only serving themselves. And they ar
very positively and explicitly warned b.

tive who deceves the administration vii

SIR SAMUEL WILSON, an intelligent Eng
lishman, writes in the Nineteenth century Of
the necessity of gathering together tho
widely scattered members of the British
empire into some kind of union that will
promise more permanence than that now APP
parent. lIe would take as his model the
Congress of the United States, substituting
for the present Parliament two chambers of
100 members each, to be chosen somewhat ~
are the senators under our own system, the
upper House being elected 10y the upper
Houses of the several colonies and
divisions Of the empire, and the
lower House by the popular branches
of the state legislatures. He would
| give England, Scotland and Ireland each q
Parliament of its own, and, after the example
| of the constitution of the United States, al
| powers not granted to the general law-maki Ing
| body would be reserved to the componen
members OF the empire. While there arr
| many difficulties in the way of such plar
OF reorganization, some step in this direction
must be taken, or England, when in dir
need, may wake up some morning and fine
some of her colonial birds flown.
