4 RESTRICTED SESSION.

1t is reported that Speaker Reed, in harmony
with the advice Of many Republicans, has de-
cded to conine action by the House at the eX-
ira session 10 the tariff question, by declining
TO appoint at that session any other committees
than those needed for that measure. 1T Is I'M
derstood that the coming President mas Deeh
consulted and heartily approves that course
and some Senators of influence believe tlat the
,mpossibty of legislating on other questions
would tend strongly 10 accelerate action on the
tariff Rut II is understood that there are some
members of the House who oppose the restrlc-
ton Of legislation. and desire 10 have all the
committees appointed at the outset, so mat
members can at least famlariZe themselves
with their departments of labor and have OPP
portunty to propose such measures as seem 10
them of urgent Importance. Perhaps 1t Is fair
TO assume that much of the objection comes
from the currency agitators, who desire TO push
some bills for the retirement OF greenDacKs.
But there are other matters to which indlVldual
members have devoted much time and EFFORT
az yet without success, and they are also I'M
patient at the thought of delay
1t can hardly be denied that all attempt 10
legislate on various subjects without restriction
ut the extra session would increase the dlni-
entity of passing tariff bill promptly. When
ious for the success of other measures, there is
always the possibility of a combination OF votes
IN keen back final action on the tariff until those
other questions can be considered. and without
definite combination against it the clashing ef-
forts of impatient men TO pash other matters
would una vodably involve some risk OF delay
and even antagonsm. In the Senate, especial
w. conflict Of interests might become most en-
barrassing owing TO the scanty number OF votes
deemed trustworthy. Ii Is also true that the
business interests Of the country are by no
means DESTROYS Of long session. or of uncer-
tainty regarding action on many important mat

Of Improvement
The tariff question rightfully takes precedence
OF all others because the Treasury stands In
need every month of larger revenue. Until
the monthly deficit can be stopped, there will
oe q constant possibility that some change in
foreign relations or In the political or financial
conditions abroad may expose the Treasury to
q dangerous drain of gold. The deficit ought
to be stopped before any other action involving
any possible expenditure Is considered, and even

TOO MUCH COMFORT.

According to the returns of the last census
OF the United states 1t would appear that the
percentage Of Increase In our population outside
Of immigration shows startling decline. and
there Is every reason TO apprcheDd that the next
census will furnish evidence Of n still moro
alarming falling off in the ratio of increase of
nalive-born citizens Of this country. While we
are therefore expatating on the stationary con-
diiion of the population of France and INDUCING
in speculation as TO its causes and possible rene
is ample food for reflection and even concern
right here in America. For while It would be
an eXaggeraton to state that there Is In view any
danger Of a gradual extinction Of the American
of immigration and the decline in the fecundity
Of what may be described as our native race
appear destined in the future 10 check the
growth of the population and thus TO constitute
latent resources Of this northern portion OF the
Western Hemisphere.
In seeking for the causes Of this loss Of vi
tally and vigor which Is manlfesting itself very
much In the same way In Great Britain, and even
still more In France, one Is tempted to look for
them in the perfection of modern righteousness
and comfort, using the latter word in its cpl
curean form. Comfort. meaning condition OF
things in which the senses are gratiAed, un
pleasant experiences avoided and all effort min.

tbus accommodating the Bible narrative 10 inc
conclusions Of science.
The discussion in the Methodist minister's
meeting seems TO have turned on the quest'oh
whether the English version of the biDlc Is i.ee
from errors. There are probably few ihteiii-
gent Christians who would maintain that it Isl
vet when DIR. Buckley the Editor of 1.-The CHRIS
t,on Advocate" took the ground that only the
original autographs were free from error MS
romarl, produced something like n theological
storm. The incident serves to show into what
an unreasOnng panic good men may IAN Inc
original autographs Of the Bible persisted many
centuries ago, probably few years ai'er 'ney
we're written The only texts or the sacreu
books now In existence are NUMBER oi Hi"h"'
scripts written hundreds OF years alter the uiic
Of Christ These manuscripts cannot DC apso-
lutcly true copies Of the original autographs LOT
they differ from each other in many particulars
Obviously, therefore, the copyists VINO iran
scribcd them were not inspired, and as the Eng
lsh translators simply followed their critical
Judgment in deciding which Of these readings
to adopt, 1t is not easy to see how the theory
of their inspiration can be maintained. In other
words, the English translation of the BiDe Is
rot free from error. In point of fact 1t Is er-
roneous in many places, and it was because this
fact was recognized that the revised version
of 1881 was made. Why, then, should meet
ing of clcrgymcn get excited when some one
SAYS these things in plain English!
The reason probably is that there are many
people in the churches to-day who think 1t I'M
wise and even harmful to admit In public that
any of the old views concerning the Bible have
become untenable. They would say that such
a question as DIR. Buckley raised would better
be ignored in the present state Of religious
thought. For the discussion Of 1t only unset
ties the beliefs Of many supplemented Chris
tians Doubtless there Is much truth in this
view of the case. The raising Of new ques-
lions about the Bible has unsettled the faith OF
some people in 1t. But In point Of fact, the
questions are raised they are being discussed,
and will continue to be discussed by Christian
people no matter what the churches say. And
the clergymen who persistently refuse to meet
the issues raised by them will ultimately find
themselves shorn Of much Of their influence

INVESTIGATE!

There appears to be no intention on the part
of the Legislature, or Of any public official, to
investigate the condition Of the National Guard
of this State in consequence Of the grave ac-
cusatons brought by General McLewee in the
report which has been suppressed In fact, 1t
is intimated at Albany that no inquiry Of this
sort will be made. We have not heard anybody
say that General McLewee's charges are trivial
or that the character Of the military service Is
a matter of slight interest TO the people Of New
York. Is it, therefore, unfair to assume that
the reason why no investigation is to be made
is that those having authority and influence are
aware that an investigation would conclusivey
prove some very damaging facts? That ap-
pears TO us 10 be an entirely reasonable infer
ence To be sure, some Of these facts are now
generally known. The law, for instance for
bids the sale CT liquor a. the State Camp, but
nothing Is more certain than that the law has
been a dead letter. 1t Is not surprising that
some persons anxious to prevent a complete
and conspicuous demonstration Of that abuse,
and of other lawless and mschievous practices
which the military organization may have en-
couraged. But the PEOPLE have no such aver
sion to a full exposure OF the truth; on the con-
trary they are anxious 10 know to what extent
they have been discreded and injured in the
management of an important branch Of the pub
lie service.
IT, as appears to be the case, State officers
and members Of the Legislature are afraid that
an investigation Of General McIewce's charges
and of the National Guard in general would re-
veal too much, they should reflect that, in the
opinion of the people, the whole truth would be
inst enough

METHODISTS AND THE BIBLE.

The furry over The Bible mt The meeting of
Methodist ministers in this city on Monday is
one Of the many indications that whether for
good or Ill. tho Bible today Is up for investiga-
ton and review. 1t Is not only infdels and
avowcd enemies Of the Bible who are calling in
question some Of the old beliefs ming IT,
though few religious journals give their read
crs that impression. Members OF the churches
in good standing. clergymen as well as aymen,
are found adopting one or more Of the new
views Of the Bible. Only last week Mr. Moody
told the readers OF The Independent" how
necessary 1t is for Christians TO accept the story
of Jonah and the whale as n literal historic
fact But though II printed his article, "The
Independent" was cruel enough to controvert
his view cditorially. Similarly the free yet
reyerent handling Of the Bible by DIR. Lyman
Abbott, which is now exciting so much atten-
ton, is chiefly important because il shows that
a reconstruction Of belief concerning the Bible
is going on within the churches, and II is going
on, too, In spite OF the most strenuous efforts
of the conservatives TO arrest It. Indeed, the
conservatives themselves are somewhat tinct.
