COON SKIN RAILROADS.

surveyed in every direction. Col. So

Gen. So-and So, and other gentlemen
Of like leisure are making trips to the
country, where they eat sugar~cured
ham with red gravy, survey "raii-
roads" and drive down pegs with red
marks on 'em in every hollow they
can find. These surveys and marked
pegs are creating the most amazing
expectations. It given out TO the
honest countrywide by the Colonel,
and the General, and the Judge, and
the "Chief Engineer" that every
hollow will have its railroad, provided
no railroad commission is established

the baked ham, make a new supply
of pegs, and pass on to the next hollow
to drive The pegs over there. They
have seen the hunter drag a coon

We were astonished to find that such
men as Commissioner Albert Fink Of

their rates. The idea is gaining
friends and supporters day by day.
The necessity of uniform rates and the
injustice in discriminating against

to do so, is so manifest that We are

MBxIOAN DAY AT NEW ORLEANS

THIS is Mexican day at the New
Orleans Exposition. This setting a.
part Of a separate day in honor Of
the Mexican republic, Its president
and people. who have contributed SO
largely to the success of the exposI-
ton, is a fitting tribute Of respect to
that people, and the management Of
the exposition showed good taste in
thus manifesting their appreciation Of
the generous share which Mexico has
taken in that enterprise. All who
visited the exposition were pleased
with the Mexican mining pavilion
and the exhibits from that country
generally. The Mexican Band, which
discoursed the finest music which eyer
fell on mortal ears, will long be re-
membered by every visitor, and Moth
ing at the exposition attracted more
general and favorable comment than
this band. More intimate relations
between the United States and Mexi-
co will grow out of the intercourse
between the people of the two coun-
tries occasioned by this exposition,
which will be mutually beneficial.
No good reason exists why Jour mer-
chants should not furnish Mexican
dealers with all kinds Of manufactur-
ed articles now being imported by
them from across the a tlantic.

breathing the pure air of heaven.

An association of distillers Is always more
or less unique and entertaining. Their
humor bubbles up and runs over like
geyser, and the association never meets
without adding materially to its reputation
for pungency aud wit. Naturally enough
the Kentucky distllers lead the van, for
their knowledge of mountain dew is only
equaled by their appreciation of the lult-
crous phases of this solemn old world.
The telegraph gravely announces to-day
that at meeting of the Kentucky Distill.
ing Association, held at Louisville, yester-
day, "lt was decided TO appointa committee
TO consider the question of shutting down
the distilleries until the over-production
is consumed" 1t will be startling news 10
the judges and majors in the neighborhood
of Fourteenth street and Pennsylvania
avenue that, with all their patriotic efforts
TO equalize the supply and demand, there
is yet large balance to the credit of sup
ply. The information is also discouraging
to the numerous patriots who have en-
deavored to rid the world of whisky by
drinking it all.
But the inexplicable point in the pro-
their determination to "appoint resident
representative at Washington" Is this
notification that they expect Washington
TO reduce the oyer-production TO Il mini.
mum by increasing the consumption to
maximum? This city is long-sufering and
patriotic, but it has been doing its full
share of the labor required by the Ken
tucky distillers, and it hardly seems equit-
able to ask a material enlargement OF che
natural capacity of the human stomach.
Another blow like this, and Washington
may switch of onto beer aud leave the dis
tillers TO hold tho bottle. We caution the
society against this danger.
1t is suggested, however, that the Ken
tucky Distillers' Association, recognizing
the foreign character of Henri Watterson's
country, merely intended to add another to
ihe diplomatic representation here. II such

pie appreciated by attending in numbers
far in excess of the gathering at any racing
meeting in this circuit out tsde of New York,
while in the character of the visitors, both
ladies and gentlemen, no jockey club
course in America, perhaps not in the
world, can assemble such distinguished aud
representative people as gathered during
the present week at the handsome racing
park of our National Jockey Club.
Included in the attendance were the
Vice President of the United States, heads
of Departments, Bureaus and Offices, while
the Judiciary, the Army and Navy, the
Senate and House were largely represented.
The foreign nations, in the persons of the
Diplomatic Corps, the members of their
families and attaches, were very largely
represented, and the District Commits
sioners and local officials were out in full
force.
Washington society and the numerous
prominent visitors at the Capital from

Our New Bible.

The philologist and the scholar will find
much to commend in the revised version of
the Old Testament. The reading Masses
we predict, will be charmed with its style
and delighted with its clearer finish. A
striking improvement is the printing of all
poetic passages in poetical forms. The
Psalms, Proverbs, Job, the Canticles, the
songs of Lamech. Jacob, Miriam, Moses,
Deborah and Hannah, the psalms of Jonah
and Habakkuk, and David's lament, in
Second Samuel, together with the origin Of
Joshua's miracle, Stand thou still upon
Gibeon," and the triumphal cry of Sampson
in 18th judges, all appear in versified bal
lad, and thus rendered strikingly at
tractive. The Prophets still retain the
prose form of their passionate oratory.
All headings of chapters have been
dropped, as in the revised New Testament,
and the text divided into paragraphs, but
tanned in the margin for reference. This
expedient enabled the revisers to make use
of the dialogue form and bring out more
prominently the dramatic character of the
work.
There are few verbal alterations in the
Ten Commandments, the most striking be-
ing that of the Sixth, "Thou shalt not
kill" which is changed to, Thou shalt do
no murder
The use of the word "Hell" is confined
exclusively to signifying place of tor
ment. In the poetical books the word
"SheoP is substituted, and in prose passages
the words Grave and "Pit" are used.
The summary of each days work at the
creation is made to read "There was
evening and there was morning second
day. giving suggestion of successive
stages, and yielding to the scientists their
claim that the world was made by evolu-
tionary periods.
Altogether, an examination of the more
familiar passages and phrases discloses the
fact that care was taken in preserving iu-
tact the household words of the Old Testa-
ment. The old literary form has been held
sacred, and the revisers cannot be charged
With any pedantic straining after the orig
nal text; but not all the familiar feature
of the Scripture have remained untouched
