Incorrect Quotation.

There are, as every careful reader knows,
numerous quotations in the New Testament
from the writer's of the Hebrew scriptures in
the old. They are made almost altogether
from the septuagint versions, and not from
the original Hebrew, and in great MANY
cases the quotations are not accurately
given. In some cases the New Testament
writers seem to have had the Greek transla-
0On before them; IN others, possibly q YER

doubtless, quoted from memory. and could

offices, and their zeal, hopefulnesS,
enthusiasm and determination
have steady increased, and there
will be no reduction, but an in
crease in ali of these. The repub-
licans are bound to wrest the man
agement of governmental affairs
from the grasp of a party that
makes free trade its rallying cry,
thus showing that it cares more
for foreign countries than it does
for America; party that is in
power because of a violated consti-
tuition in several southern states.
That party is sure to meet defeat
in the coming election. The re-
publicans of New York and Indi-
ana are confident of success in
their states. The meeting of the
national committee in New York
was notable for the eminent men
it brought together and for their
uniform expressions of confidence.

ing complimentary notice Of Wood
County's candidate for congress
in this district: "Hon. Geo. r.
Gardner, of Grand Rapids, a can
didate for the republican congress
sional nomination in this district,
was in Medford last Wednesday.
Mr.. Gardner is not politician in
any sense of the word, but he is a
gentleman of ability and those who
know him best, respect him most.
He is one of the strongest candi-
dates in the field, and the Star and
News has no hesitancy in saying
that it hopes he will be nominated.
The people of this county heartily
endorse the sentiments and share
the wish expressed by the Star
and News. Mr.. Gardeners candid
acy seems to be gaining ground,
and his chance for the nomination
steadily growing.

Home Endorsement.

Whatever man may be to the
world at large he is just what he
is to his neighbors. They see all
of his every day life. They know
all of his strong points and all OF
his weak ones, and are pretty apt
to tell them. The Tribune has
had interviews with two of Gen.
Harrison's neighbors, one a demo
crat and the other republican.
The democrat said: 81 have
lived near Gen. Harrison for sew
eral years, and a more sociable,
approachable man | never met.
His easy dignity, his hearty cord
iality make anyone feel at ease in
his presence, and his companion
ship is of a kind that will never
lead you to think he has filled high
military and civil offices. If he
should be the nominee of the
Chicago convention | will vote for
hlm because he IS a good, clean
man, and the best neighbor / ever
had"
The republican, Rev. w. ]. vi
gus, a Methodist minister, says:
L lived close neighbor to Sena-
tor Harrison for three years, and
was intimate with him. He is a
religious man, conscientiouly so,
and a member of the PRESBYTERIAN
church, He is as regular in at
tendance at church as the coming
of the Sabbath, and every Sabbath
afternoon could be seen leaving
his home with a Teachers Bible
under his arm To take charge of
his Sunday school class. There
is no "show religion" about him.
It is sincere as is everything about
the man-his friendship, his soci-
ableness, his professional work,
his temperate habits. l want no
better neighbor than Senator Har-
riSon in all the word neighbor
implies. He will make a good
president, and the religious and
temperance element should give
him their undivided support"

peans of approval of the Presi-
dents late message were some
what hushed by the warning of
the Pail Mall Gazette "to moder-
ate the ecstacy of their jubilation,
as every word spoken in common
dalton of the message would be
used as a powerful argument
against the adoption of its recon-
mendations." But repression was
no longer possible when the terms
of the St. Louis platform and the
denomination of Mr.. Cleveland
were made known.
The mere fact of this foreign
ecstacy is suggestive; but when we
come to read the terms in which it
finds expression, and the reasons
given for its existence, patriotic
and indignation is well nigh over
whelmed in amazement at British
arrogance and the turbulence of its
American abettors.
Referring to the shouts Of the
St. Louis Convention and its way
ing of red handkerchiefs woven on
British looms, and the London
Star, said, 1--WE may very well re-
echo that enthusiasm on this side
of the water, for the reelection of
President Cleveland means the
adoption of his programme of tariff
revision, and his ideas on that sub
ject go a long way towards free
trade"
And why this enthusiasm over
the prospect of free trade. Here
is the answer given by the London
Economist. Con the adoption of
free trade by the United States
depends the greater share Of Eng
lish prosperity for a good many
years to come" And the British
Hosiery Review reiterated: owe
venture to assert that England
will reap the largest share of any
advantages that may arise from
the adoption of the ideas now ad-
vocated by the free trade party in
the United States"
During the recent session of the
English Labor Convention, it was
asserted, without contradiction,
that England has 100000 work
men out of employment, and nu-
merous mills and workshops closed
or working on short time. 1t was
further asserted that relief from
this unfortunate condition could
be secured in but one of two ways:
First, assisted emigration; second,
reduction of the United States
tariff SO as to secure free admis-
sion Of British manufactures, a
privilege now refused by Eng
lands own colonies.
Neither of the alternatives here
presented are likely to find many
sympathizers among American
workmen who are now called up
on to decide between the English
policy of free trade and the low
wages it entails, and that policy of
fostering home industries by which
our country has attained her pres
ent enviable prominence among the
nations of the earth.
