THE PRESIDENT, it is understood, is
waiting until he can find negro CON-
petent to fill the Office OF register of the
Treasury before he removes the white
democrat who now holds it. And yet
the Constitution, which he has sworn to
obey, provides that no difference shall
be made by the government in the
treatment of the people of the country,
on account of color. There are thou
sands of white men, republicans at that,
competent to discharge the duties Of
the Office, who would gladly take the
place, but their applications are ignored
in order that Mr.. Mckinley may have
time, possibly, to discover negro with
intelligence enough to stamp his en-
graved signature upon the treasury
notes.

EVERY MAN who takes any interes!
in the proceedings of Congress knows
that the tariff bill is the most impor-
tsnt, as well as the only, measure BE-
fore that body, not only in respect Of
the government, but of the interest OF
every man, woman and child in the
whole country; and yet when the ques'
ton whether that bill should or should
not become law was submitted,
no less than seven members OF
the Senate, who are paid high
salaries and perquisites for attend
ing to the peoples business, though
present aud impaired. refused to vote,
being utterly reckless of the fate OF a
bill that must affect the pocket of every
man in the entire country. But there
are people, even in the South, 30 i'll in
formed as to believe that this is the
sest and best government on the face
of the earth.

NEW SAYINGS OF CHRIST.

Henry Provide published in London
yesterday on behalf of the Egypt e1.
exploration fund, the Logic Ihkou, or
Sayings of Our Lord" as discovered
and edited by Bernard P Graentell and
Arthur S. Hunt, of Oxford University.
The document as heretofore stated We:
found at Oxyrhynchus and is lea.
from papyrus book.
The logia consist of detached quots.
tons, each beginning "Jesus saith.
The first saying is: "And then thou
shall see clearly to cast out the mote
that is in thy brothers eye"
The second saying is startling and
entirely new. 1t reads: "Jesus saith
except ye fast to the world yeshal in NJ
wise find the kingdom of God; and Ell
cept We keep the Sabbath We shall not
see the Father
This being at variance with the &C.
cepted teachings OF Christ, it is suggest.
ed that it is perhaps Jewish forgery
committed with view to supporting
the Jewish Sabbath. Perhaps it issE
erroneous report.
The third saying is similar to tbs.
contained in John l., but the form ];
different. Christ describes Himself 8;
standing in the midst of the word,
finding all men drunken and none
athirst. "And my soul grieveth oya
the cons of men because they are blind
in their heart"
The fourth saying has pelished only
one word remaining. This is TIE
Greek word for beggary. As this Wa
not used by Christ in any gospel, Ii;
legion is considered to have been new
The fifth saying, which contains ce'
tain gaps, is of extraordinary intere;.
1t reads: "Jesus saith, wherever Their
are here occurs a gap and there's
one gap alone l am with him. Rs
the stone and there thou shalt iiud Ne
cleave the wood and there | am.
The latter is entirely new. and it
expected that it will arouse contre
versy. 1t seems to indicate panihs
istic philosophy, and, perhaps, is r.
Election of the mystical occultism oiil
gnostlcS IN the early Christian ceu.-
ries.
The sixth saying comedies in part VII
Luke iv., "a mo prophet is accepted il b.
own country neither doth physician Soi
cures upon them that know him"
This is considered to prove that Lux tA
the same original records AS the logia.
cause the Greek for accepted, here dek:a
was used by Luke Only and was hitherto -
posed to be one Of his nero literary chanse
on Matthews collection.
The eeventh saysng is similar to Mstlhr
", / 4, but is incomplete
The eighth saying is undeciphcrable
1t is suggested that the date Of the c.
ment must be from the year $50 to the gs4'
300 A. d. probably not later than POO
The Greek of the logia, which has ttt-
seen by the correspondent Of the Nc@ Yoh
Sun, is so clear that dispute as regards wofa
is impossible controversy can ong ST.
in regard to the Interpretation of the NJ
passages.

Banking Firm Assigns.

NEW YORK, July 13.-Deck er, Howell
aud Company. bankers and brokers OF
this city, one OF the largest brokerage
houses on the street, have assigned with
40 preferences. The firm attributed the
trouble to being on the wrong side OF
the market, their shortage on sugar be
ing one of the principal elements. The
losses will fall on those who have had
speculative accounts with the firm, but
il is believed that the liabilities will
prove to be small. Five years ago this
house failed for SO 100000 but paid up
within sixty DAYS and resumed business.

THE i'll informed Northern flibusters
seem to imagine that the insurgents in
Cuba are growing i'll strength because
some of their bands have appeared in
the province of Havana. During the
war between the States in this country
Colonel Mosby's Rangers carried on
successful operations within few miles
of the national capital, but that didn't
indicate that the power OF the Con.
federates WAS increasing. Filibusters,
however, as rule are not wise.

An English Papers Opinion.

LONDON, July 13.-The Globe, com.
menting upon Japan's attitude towards
Hawaii, says: 'The japanese know
precisely the strength of the American
navy and ara perfectly aware of their
own superiority. In an ocean conflict
the United States would make poor
showing. 1t is morally certain that the
Japanese ships would ravage the Pa
cfc coast if the United States once be-
came involved in hostilities with Japan.
In that event Spain would have an OPP
portunity Of which she would hardly
fail to take advantage.

TUESDAY EVENING, JULY ls 1897

OF COURSE as NIr. Mckinley, like
every body else, knows that his cleo
ton was bought with money, he has
lost faith in republican iustitu
lions. but his parade of that loss
by appointing monetary com
mission certainly does not indi-
cata that his store of other sorts OF
knowledge is any too large. II tho
legislative branch of the government
be incapable of conceiving, preparir &
and enacting such monetary, or other
laws as the people may stand in need Of
why, in the pane of common sense
should that expensive branch be MAIN
tanned, especially az all the dangers
and troubles to which the country has
been subjected have resulted from that
branch? Then, too, the making OF
laws is the peculiar duty OF Congress,
which duty it is prohibited from dele
eating to commission or TO any other
BODY. Cheaper, less dangerous, and III
every other particular, would it be bet
ter to abolish Congress, and TO confer
nnou the President the power to ap
noint commissions to transact the
business now so wastefully, negligently
and corruptly done by an aasemblase
of plutocrats, demagogues, incompet'
ents and corrupting and corruptaole
men in the Capitol in Washington.
