Manuscripts of the New and the Old Tes-
taments Often Rewritten.
The New Testament, as we know it,
comes down to Us after having been kept
for hundreds of years in manuscript form
by the priests, fathers Of tie church, "
and others. The writings have been
copied and recopied probably scores of
times, at least as often as occasion re-
quired, being always renewed before
becoming unintelligible by use and
wear. The two oldest of these manu-
scripts nov known are the Codex Semi
aticus and the Codex Vaticanus, each
Of which dates from the fourth century,
A. D. The languages originally used in
this work were Hebrew and Greek, but
after the year 800 a. d. the mana
scripts were all, or nearly all, written
in Latin. The last mentioned language
was that adopted by the Roman church
in their tr%anslations and was known as
the "Vulgate, " because commonly used
in the churches. AS far back as the sew.
enth century portions of the Vulgate
were translated into old English, and it
was also the version used by Wickliffe
(Wyclif), Purvey and their predecessors
and was the first book printed from
movable type, 1905.
Tyndale's version was from a German
translation of the original Greek, made
by Martin Luther.
The authorized version, " or King
James translation, was made by a. Of
the most eminent British scholars and
was finished in the year 1911. The
Latin Vulgate was the main version
used by them; but, so far as they were
accessible, other manuscripts. both in
the Greek and Hebrew. were consulted
and compared.
The manuscripts of the Old Tesla.
ment have had similar experiences, hay
ing zen written and rewritten th0u
sands Of times since the first collections
was put in writing by the priests and
leaders of the ISraelites, about the yeal
1900 b. &. All of the older copies have,

since long before tho birth of Christ,

THE DAY WE CELEBRAT TIE

TODAY is the anniversary of an
event which is dearer to patriotic
Americans than any which may
succeed it, should the nation con-
tlnue for thousand years. 1t was
on the evening of this day 119
years ago that the bell proclaimed
to the waiting, anxious throng
that the American congress had
declared the colonies indepedent-
the birth of a new nation. The
feelings Of the people who were
casting off the ties of the mother
country can only be imagined. The
colonists had been protesting Wig
orously against what they and all
the world considered unjust and
exorbitant taxation, and at the
opening of parliament the preced-
ing winter the king had declared
them rebels. The American YES
sells we're seized, as were those of

THE lMINNEAPOLIS HOLOCAUST

THE MINNEAPOLIS HOLOCAUST
Minneapolis was the scene of a
terrible accident last Thursday,
which caused the death of five
brave fremen and the almost fatal
injury of as many more. No
blame is attached to anyone for
this disaster except the city author
tiles, who are criticised for allow
ing building of such an infama-
bic nature to be built.
There are no Drawer men any,
where than those who are to be
found in the fire departments of
the large cities. With as calm a
courage as the finest regiment
which ever breathed the smoke of
battle, these men rush into danger.
Death turks in every corner but
the horror never affects their dis
cip]ine. Other lives may depend
on their efforts and the risks are
taken with as cool a courage as
men can command and there is no
evasion of the responsibility and
trust society reposes in them.
This last disaster is fruitful of
more than the usual sadness. One,
a bridegroom of scarcely month,
was taken from the ruins crushed
almost beyond recognition. The
fair bride, to whom the sunshine
was most golden and for whom life
seemed full of happiness, is heart
broken. Another left a wife and
five children, while but one was
unmarried and he leaves depend
ent parents. Minneapolis is noted
for its generosity and it will I'M
doubtedly provide for the physical
wants of those bereft, but there is
nothing that she can do to restore
the happiness of the families who
at this time last week were eniov-
ing the blessing Of domestic love.

Legislative Bribery in Illinois.

Legislative Bribery in Illinois.
If it is true, as is claimed, that
Gov. Altgeld has evidence that
certain members of the Illinois
legislature we're bribed in the in
terests of the Chicago gas trust
and that he is preparing to spring
a mine of exposure under the feet
OF score or more of these gentle
men, the sympathies of the public
will be for once with the usually
wrong-headed and evil-d1sposed
governor of Illinois. He will be
pardoned a good many sins if,
whatever his motives, he shall be
instrumental in making success
full beginning in Illinois of that
crusade againts legislative corrup-
ton which is destined very soon to
take the front rank in modern
movements of reform. There is
no CRIME against the state and
against the people so heinous-
none fraught with such far reach
ing and such evil consequences
and none SO widely prevailing in
the state legislatures, as this
despicable business of bribery. It
is high time that the bribe-taker
was driven out of every legislative
body and landed where he belongs,
in the penitentiary. It is we'll
known that there are men-and
they are not few in number-who
seek election to the legislature
solely for the purpose Of trading
their votes for money. The usual
expedient is to levy blackmail, If
possible, on all sorts of corpora
tons by threatening them with
ruinous legislation. These prac-
tees are so notorious that in our
own legislature a large class of
bills which are usually introduced,
as we'll as their promoters, are
known by the expressive name of
"leg-pullers:" The public will
watch with interest the course of
proceedings in the extra session
called by Gov. Altgeld in Illinois,
on his threatened exposure of the
bride takers in that body. And it
is to hoped that the movement
commenced in Illinois may not end
until the brlbe-taker will not dare
to show his head or hand in any
Legislative body in the Union
Pioneer Press.

American ports.
Such treatment was more than
the proud pioneers could endure
and the Declaration of Indepen-
dence was drawn up by jefferson
at the request of his associates,
Adams, Franklin, Sherman and.
Livingston. Circumstances have
given a historical importance to
this document without parallel
in the history of the world; for it
seemed to be the weapon that dis
membered a great empire and gave
birth to nation of great possibili-
ties; it gave guarantees for the
fame of it's author which are pos
sessed by no other production of
IN American pen; for more than a
century it has been read to assem-
bled multitudes in every town in
the United States on the ami
versary of it's adoption;. and it's
style and sentiments have been the
model of every people which since
that time has sought to assert for
itself the right Of self-government.
The war which followed was a
war of passion. It was of such a
nature as to be supported by the
most powerful virtues-love of
liberty and of country; and at the
same time by those passions in the
human heart which give courage,
strength and perseverance to man
the spirit of revenge for injuries
received; of retaliation for hard
ships inflicted and of opposition to
unjust powers.
You know the rest. Such a war
could have but one end-victory.
Now when your children gather at
your board to-day tell them the
story of the day. Tell them'of the
suferings of their forefathers.
Tell them Of their heroism and
patriotic devotion to the cause of
their country, that your children
and their children may emulate the
example of the sturdy heroes of
1776. Keep alive the spirit of
patriotism for with it our country
is safe. The dissensions which
arise through political differences
of opinion will be forgotten when
the nations welfare is concerned
and civil wars will never vex the
land Washington and Jefferson
wrested from the hand of tyrant.
