Tho Many Bibles,

It is estimated that at the begin
ming of the present century not
more than 100000 OF 100000
copies of the Scriptures were in ex-
istence in the whole world. Ihave
seen no.estimate as :, the number
of copies probably in existence at
the present time, bat in one year,
1883, alone, the statistics for which
happen to be at hand, the number
of copies Issued oonside1ably exceed
ed the 6, COO 600which were possibly
in existercesin the whole world in
1900. Intake decade preceding this
year, 1678.ss, the number pub
asiiaa:ii:sa N various languages is given
.as having besn about $4,000, 090-
s0ane.siz ttiiaflessathe whole number in
existence Vheni the century began.
,.zItis certain that the number Of
copies now existing must be num-
bered by the hundred millions.
! Fromsthe rooms Of the British and
Foreign Bible society in London
alone are sent forth daily from
5000 to 1000 copies, to which must
be added the copies issued from all
their subordinate depots in various
lands, and the issues of the Ameri-
can Bible society. and of several
other lesser bodies; so that the re-
cent statement is quite credible
which puts the whole number Of
copies Of the Scriptures issued since
the century began as over 4O4, ,OOO,-

THE Milwaukee Sentinel, under
the management of the lamented
Horace Rublee, condemned the prac-
tice Of public officials being under
obligations TO railroads and kindred
corporations for passes and franks
At the op ming of the legislature in
1897 the Sentinel said, editorally:
The legislature was created this
year To DO variety of things, bat it
WAS definitely instructed to abolish
passes. ! 1t can ignore this definite
instruction, then 1t seems idle for
the people of the state. to cherish
definite convictions with the idea of
having them executed by their sup
posed servants. Once this point is
established it will seem advisable to
seek means of placing men in office
who will recognize the power that
elected them, a close watch should
be kept on every members action
with reference to the pass question,
II only TO determining in how far
each one respects his constituents.
At the present time, under differ
ont management, the Sentinel is an
apologist for violators of the party
pledge to abolish the official pass
evil.

THE Viroqua Censor ia after the
editor Of the Madison Journal with
IA red hot prodding iron, and flaws
him in the following thorough man
ner: "The editor of the Journal is
hotoriously, cynically brutal in his
treatment, through the columns of
his paper, of those who differ from
him on political lines within the re-
publican party itself, and who have
the temerity, politically, to express
those opinions. He will receive no
sympathy in pleading "the baby act"
as he now does. Act
ing Gov. Taylor assumes, we
are led to believe, that his official
state paper also carries with it the
authority to be official state liar.
During the administration of Gov
ernor Upham our Uncle Hod was
not permitted TO "be de hole ting so
his newspaper was devoted and COM
mitted to daily fire upon the gov
ernor. No unfaithfulness to the
people or party could be charged a.
gainst Upham, and his administra-
ton was free from personal or official
scandals. Strickland Co. Observer.

REFERRING to the anti-corpora-
ton, anti-frank and auti-pass agi-
tatioD in Wisconsin, the conserva-
tive Springfield, Mass, Republican
says: The situation is of general
interest chiefly rs showing the per-
-istence Of the radical economic and
social movement within the ranks
of the administration party. Lafol-
let's personal movement is of little
account, but allied with the anti cor
pnration feeling in the state it has
become formidable, ami the Payne
and Sawyer street railway and other
monopoly interests now in control
must fight hard to perpetuate their
power. 1t is significant that the
war with Spain does not avail to dis
tract public attention in Wisconsin
from this general question of wealth
concentration and power, and that
within the Republican party itself
the cauker of radicalism should be
eating its way among the rank and
file to an extent which must alarm
the present leadership
