THE Senate has adopted resolution
offered by Senator Frye, asking for in
formation as to the extension of the
civil service rules over river and har-
Dor work. Senator Frye said his infor.
nation was that engineers in charge OF
work, no matter how pressing the need
or how remote from Washington, are
under those rules compelled to apply to
the Civil Service Commission for every
laborer they wish to put to work, and
that it was interfering with all kinds
of public work and was absolutely
stupid and absurd. That is the way il

land.
The copyright in the Holy Scriptures
is vested in the crown, and in England
there are only three authorized print
ers, says Chambers Journal. Oxford
and Cambridge have, by royal charter,
the right of printing the Bible and the
queens printers are licensed to print
the sacred books during her majesty's
pleasure, aslicense which may at any
time be withdrawn by an order-in-coun-
ell. In Scotland anybody is at liberty
to print Bibles, but no edition may be
lawfully published unless it has been
read and licensed for publication.
All this, however, refers only to the
authorized" version of the Scriptures
The expenses attending the recent re-
vision of the sacred books were very
heavy--something like &C 10000, and the
queens printers, who were invited to
contribute a share, preferred not to do
so. The two great universities alone,
therefore. have proprietary rights in the
revised edition of the Bible, and all
editions Of it emanate from oxford and
Cambridge presses. 1t is q remarkable
fact that, although the revised Scrip
lures have now been before the public
Tor - years, the old or authorized ver-
sion is still the one in general use The
revised Bible was produced at i'm
mense cost and by the highest scholar
ship of the day and no competent judge
is likely to dispute that it is more ac-
curate and, upon the whole, better
translation than the authorized edition.
Yet the Oxford press still annually
prints at least five times as many of the
old version as of the new, and Cambridge
does practically the same

CUMBERLAND RIVER FLOOD,

Nearly Every House In Pinckneys will g
Surrounded by Water.
PADUcAH, Ky, March 22.-The river
was stationary at this point Monday
morning. The guage is 1917 feet and
the feeling ofapprehension is beginning
to subside. Reports received from
along the Cumberland river show that
the entire district is inundated AL
most every house in Pinckneysville is
surrounded by water and the occu-
pants forced to abandon their homes.
The only safe spot along the banks
of the Cumberland from Smithland, at
the mouth of the river, to a point 40
miles above Bissalls' Mound, near the
junction of the Ohio and Cum mberland
rivers, is little island on which two
dozen people are standing and waiting
for Il rescue boat.

SOLDIER PRESIDENTS.

President Mckinley is the fifth sol
der President elected by the Republi-
can party since the war, viz: Grant,
Hayes, Garfield, Harrison and McKin-
ley. This record is not likely to con-
tinue unbroken much longer The
war ended in 1865, and a man who
came out Of the army % years old,
would be 81 now, This is rather above
the age of our Presidents when they are
elected. Grant was 4G years old when
he was elected; Hayes was "a; Garfield
was 40; Harrison was SO; Mckinley
o. In 1900 a man who came out OF
the war 20 years old will be 60 year,
old. That is not too old for Presi
dent but it is past the average. BY
that time most of the leaders and con
trolling men in the Republican party
will be men who were too young to bt
in the army, 1t may be that the Re
publican party has elected it's las
soldier President,-Indanapolis Jour
nal.

THE credentials of three gentlemen
appointed to the Senate by the re.
spective governors of Oregon, Ken,
lucky and Florida are now before the
committee on Privileges and Elections,
and the three gentlemen have been
granted the freedom of the Senate
chamber. While nobody knows what
the committee will decide to do or how
soon it will act, the general impression
is that the committee will not be in a
hurry, and that the Kentucky and
Florida legislatures are likely to be
given chance to settle two of the
cases. The Oregon case will turn
upon the construction placed upon
the assembling of the members of the
legislature and their failure to organ
ize. If construed as meeting of the
Legislature, Mr.. Corbett would haye no
chance at all; otherwise, he has a
chance, but it isn't any too good at
best, owing to recent precedents.
