fame for besides being a paraphrase Of the life
of Gautama, 1t is known to contain the substance
of one Of the famous pleas for Christianity that
was long supposed to have been lost. That miss
ing treatise speech struck Gibbons fancy be-
cause it's author was, as he said, an Athenian
philosopher with the historic name Of Aristides.
He had no knowledge of It's character beyond a
remark of Eusebius. the church historian, and
he did not usually accept Eusebius as authority
even for an adjective without scrutiny but he
was glad to repeat in this case that the apology
was eloquent In effect this little work of Aris-
tides has been recovered in Syriac paraphrase,
in a fragment of an Armenian. version, and
finally loosely copied in the argumentative chap
tiers of Balaam and Josaphat. Thus Aristides and
John of Damascus. the philosopher and the
monk, the last Hellenist almost and almost the
first Of Orientalists, come walking into history
together. They are queer companions.
Apparently 1t annoyed Gibbon to have to
knowledge the genuineness OF well-known
passage about the early Christians in the works
of Tacitus, for he turned at once to the equally
well-known but dubious passage In Josephus
which, In a footnote. he described as mo vulgar
forgery" Mr. Bury. on his part refuses to
abandon the remarks Of Josephus wholly to the
interpolator. 1t is unlucky. he says. that the
hook containing these remarks Is missing from
the Palatness, the best manuscript Of Josephus.
But" he adds, ct has found defenders in re-
cent times and Ewald has given reasons for
regarding II as not. entirely spurious. but
tainted with interpretations" Then he cites an
other noteworthy place in Josephus. Book Xxx,
about the death of st. James. brother Of Jesus,
called the Christ" Another point in dispute
IA the date of the crucifxion. Gibbon was con-
tent to rest on the authority OF the ancients

THE RETIREMENT or COLONEL GRANT.

THE RETIREMENT or COLONEL GRANT
When Police Commissioner Grant declared
week ago that unless the Board adopted his
view of the spy system he would not remain
n member of it. few persons supposed that he
seriously contemplated resigning. Ii was sur
missed that under sudden stress of feeling his
speech had outrun his intention. But mt

that he should stay in office only long enough

terdov while declining to discuss the subject,
he gave inquirers to understand that his resig-
nation would be sent to Mayor Strong to-day.
There can be no doubt that Commissioner Grant
sincerely belieyes that the practice for winch
he refuses to share responsibility any longer
is immoral and injurious. His course mas peeh
deliberate and consistent and he deserves re-
spect for standing by his convictions at the
cost of his Office. 1t is not slight sacrihce
which he makes, for it Is well known mat lie
has a strong liking for public station. In our
opinion nothing in his career as Police Com
missioner has so we'll become him as his resolve
to surrender a pace which under other condi-
tjons he ,yould have been GLAD to keep. Nor is
there any doubt that a great many reputable
citizens agree with lin in condemnlng method
of procuring evidence against lawbreakers
which at the best closely approaches the limit
of propriety and at the worst is utterly abom-
Unable.
