CLEFT THEM SOUIRM D

General Bragg has often been alluded to
BY the opposition press ia very compliment
airy terms. he is plain. spoken and rather
independent in his views, and in a Demo-
cratic Convention he generally makes
square, open fight for his side OF the question
or the candidate whom ne happens to be
chsmpioning. Consequently he is very apt
to say things that will ''tickle" Republican
editors. The General. Notwithstanding his
peculisrities in the direction indicated, is
recognized as a stalwsrt Democrat and be-

after the interests of Wisconsin Democrats.
TIE other morning he had q caller at his
hotel in that city. When the General came
down he saw before him ponderous speci-
men OF humanity with mutton-chop Whisk-
ere, who informed the Congressman that he
was O resident OF the Generals district, and
that he bad been removed from rather a snug
office in one of the departments. Then the
following conversation ensued:
II was removed on your recommendation.
General. May ask the cause?"
you are Republican, are you notp' re-
piled General Bragg.
Il sm," said the party who was removed.
my district gives a Democratic majority
Of 5,0O0," added General Bragg, 'and as long
II goes that way interpret it to mean that
it does not want me to retain in Office by my
influence any Republicans"
The man with the mutton-chop whiskers
then walked away, and will no doubt soon
head for Wisconsin. The same correspondent
who relates the foregoing had conversation
recently with General Bragg. He said to the
correspondent that it made no difference
how much the Republicans squirmed about
the removals, they we're necessary to carry
ont the edict Of the people when they voted
q change of admistratiop. Democrats must

AS BETWEEN him aud his immediate rival,
ii is safe TO say that even in the minds of
his own party Mr.. Logan is not the equal OF
Mr.. Morrison. Mr.. Logan represents very
little except sturdy Republican partisan
ship and closely organized political ma
chine. In personal character be is above
the rather low average offsvorits politicians.
He is hardly The ideal Senator. The strug-
gle has heen purely partisan one. Cousid-
eflDg some of the features Of Mr. Morrison's
canvass it ia clear that the interests of the
country will be letter subssrved by Mr. Lo-
gan as Republican than they would have
been by Mr.. Morrison as a Democrat. The
point OF most significance in the affair is
thst the Senate has become body to which
men are chosen By such a partisan struggle
and has almoet ceased TO be one in which
rhen are chosen for distinguished character
and ability. The first condition TO the ele-
walton OF the Senate will be the radical re-
form of the civil service and the absolute
withdrawal of the great body of offices from
political control. New York Times.

NATIONAL, UNITY AT LAST.

Ore objection the Sentinel has urged
against the Republican party is that its
teachings terd to de-nationSlizs public sem
timsnt. It's sole claim to merit has been
its war record. If it was convicted OF rob-
bing the people by its tariff, its reply was,
I'VE saved the Union" When its Freed
mans Savings Bank stole millions from the
free Omen. itjustifed ITSELF by the plea, 1--WE
emsncipated the slaves" When it's leaders
were detected In jobs by which they 6lched
millions from Southern State treasures aud
from rhe National Treasury, the Republican
party said: THAT is nothing; We crushed
the rebellion" It's deiences were all unfair,
for the achievements it claimed cole credit
for were largely due to a Democratic
soldiery. II it had Grant, Sherman
and Logan in the field, the Democratic party
had Hancock, Slocum and Rosecrans.
The Republican party has maintained
long ascendency by keeping alive sectional
animoeity over q war ended twenty years
ago. Meantime the Democratic party has
been plesoing for the full fruits of the
triumph OF the Union armies, to-wit: The
complete restoration OF the Union, in spirit
as we'll as in letter. The Sentinel has claimed
that the lscendency of the Democracy to
power would secure this desired end.
Our claim is proven to have been well
founded. Here, within three months after
the Inauguration of the Democratic
administration, We are beyond the
breakers of distrust and ont upon the smooth
sea of national trust and sectional good will
for the first time in moro than thirty years.
For it is fact IS apparent as that the Re-
public still exisls, that the North and South
are in closer bonds OF unity TO day than at
any time since the spripgiDg up Of sgitation
over the Kan sas bill in 1850. With the con-
tinuation o. Democratic rule this fusion will
grow in frmness. The younger thinkers and
voters OF this country may be relied on to
countenancs no party whose first and only
claim to preisrment is its record in war a
quarter century past. While all will join in
honoring the heroes of that war, we are best
fulfilling the mission for which they fought

INSULTING THE PRESIDENT

Some members of the Republican party
made Loean's election the CESSATION to in
tult the President twice. An Iowa gang had
the bIszsn impudencs to wire him the fol-
lowing dispatch:
DEs MoISEs lows, May 49,

The Republicans of Iowa send compliments to
your excellency. and cOngraIulate yoa on the
benefcent results of your dispatch to Illinois:
"eenc any one but Logan" Thank Cod the Re.
pnblcaus OF our sister State delight to honor the
man who viii beat you in 1888.
The organs generally copy this with in
dorsing headlines, and do not seem to reslizs
the indecency of these Iowa hoodlums. 1t is
denied that the President sent any dis
patch whatever in regard to Logan
or anybody ellie in connection with
the Illinois Senatorial contest. While
the Iowa blacBgusrds were insulting
the President in the West, another gang
described as "a lot of drunken Republican
hoodlums," procured a cannon in Washing.

o'clock in the morning when the city was
unusually q1iet and nearly everybody in
bed this band of drunken rufians gathered
near the Presidential mansion and made the
night hideoue with cannon and pistol firing
in honor of Logan's election. AS the Presi-
dent was very much disturbed and annoyed,
we suppose the blackguards will feel that
they have not livsd in vain.

When Secretary Manning was first selected
for the Cabinet, the mud batteries of the op.
position opened upon him all along the line.
Re was charged with being nothing but a
political ward hummer" "bos." and a
"wire-puller." He has demonstrated to this
mud-spatteripg gang that they know nothing
about him. He will rank among the fore
most OF his predecessors in Office. A striking
indication of his Wideawake way of looking
after the interests OF the Government 10 told
by the Courier-J Journal, and we invite the
special and careful attention OF opposition
editors to the point made. The paper re.

and he also discovered presumptive evidence
that similar manipulation was thing Of

heading to Luke Xxx, in an Oxford edition

carelessly read. and the book printed by

CURIOUS ERRORS I'm BIBLE TEX rs.

In connection with the subject Of Bible re-
vision a writer calls attention to the fact that
there are several editions of the Bible that
contain very curious trsslations and re-
markable instances of misp-ints. Here, for
instance, is 3 translation Of q verse in Genesis
that borders on the ridiculous: "And the
eyes of Adam and Eve were opened, and
they knew that they were naked, and they
sewed fig leaves together and made them
selves breeches." Genesis, ill.,, a. The word
"breeches' was put in the text in the place
Of aprons" 1t is found in qusrto Bible,
printed in London by Robert Barker, in the
early part of the Seventeenth century.
There is a Bible known as the "Perse.
cutting Printers Bible" printers have
persecuted me without cause"
[Psalms, cxix.l, has the word print
ers" instead of princes" and has
given occasion for this name. All that is
known of this edition is stated by Mr.. Henry
Stevens in the catalogue of the 0axton exhi.
bition of Bibles, where he says that these
words were put into the mouth OF Cotton
Mather by q blunderlng typogrspher in
Bible printed before 1902. There is also the
EhIb u l4aI ID Dio. uO Las cnin W cal

adaptation OF London cockney is found in
the Oxford Press in 1910. The same onGk
contains q more serious blunder in Hebrews
TX, ii. "How much more shall the blood of
Christ, who through the eternal spirit offered
himself without spot to God, purge your con-
science from good works to serve the living
God"
Among others may be noted tAe standing

that the fishes thAllstsnd upon it, elc. Ezs-
