CrOmwells Bible,

Mr. John Morley, in the Century, tells how
the Bible of the Lord Protector differed from
the Bible of to-day
Cromwells Bible was not what the Bible
is to-day. Criticism, comparative, chrono-
logical, pathological, historical, had not i'm
paired its position as the direct word of
God, a single book, one and whole. one page
as inspired as another, one text as binding
as another. Faith in The literal construc-
ton of the word was pushed to an excess as
much resembling a true superstition or
over-belief as anything imputed to the Cath
olics. Science had set up no reign Of law,
nor hinted a doubt on the probabilities Of
miraculous intervention. No physical theo-
ries had dimmed faith in acts of specific
creation; the pral perspective and vistas
of time were very primitive. Whatever hap
pened. great or small. was due to wrath or
favor from above. They were tormentd by
no misgiving, as Ranke says, how "the Sc
crets of divine things could be brought into
such direct connection with the cOmplica-
tions OF human affairs" The God to whom
Cromwell i'll heart as inspeech appealed was
no "stream of tendency" no "Supernatural-
istic hypothesis" but the Lord of Hosts OF
the Old Testament The Saints and Puri-
tans were the chosen people. All the de-
nunciations of the prophets against the
opDressorS Of Israel Were applied to the
LITER against Bishops and Princes. And
Moses and Joshua, Gideon and Barak,
Samson and Jephthail, were the antitypes of
those who now in a Christian world thought
themselves called, like those heroes of old
time. to stop the mouths OF lions and turn tC
flight the armies of the aliens.

Riches in the Transvaal.
Youths Companion.

The yield of these Kimberley diamond
mines is said TO average about 800 carats

worlds diamonds. Mr.. Kunz. of I'ffany's
estimates that so far nine and half tons
worth $500, 900. 900 in the rough and double

of the Kimberley yellow" and blue" On

dends of 80 per cent

i'll many parts of South Africa gold is plenti-

charged with, but when pressed by Grosve-
nor, of Ohio, and Hopkins, of Illinois, he
would not say that the parties in question
were guilty, but simply that they were
charged with the same misdemeanors that
he was charged with.
The closing presentation of the case by
Mr.. Tayler was intensely dramatic, and he
was greeted with rounds of applause.
Upon the vote being taken it was found
that Dir. Roberts, although he had at

case a party question, could not solidify

The committee has held several sessions,

quested to have counsel and allowances for

been considering whether it would go to
Utah.
When Roberts appeared before the COM
mittee last Saturday he met all questions
with evasion and denied the right of the
committee to ask him questions. He re-
fused TO deny the paternity of tine twins of
wife Number =, born in 1897.
So far as Roberts is concerned he is into
the Treasury mp to his elbows. He has
drawn his pay from last March to Decem-
ber, amounting to nearly $4,000, also clerk
hire and other allowances. He apparently
believes in taking no chances when it comes
to question of money. When he is finally
expelled from the House. or rather refused
admittance, as he undoubtedly will be. the
question OF recovering this money will lend
further interest to the case.

On Tuesday when the case came uI
again Mr.. Tayler made stirring and elo
quent arraignment of Mr.. Roberts, charging
him with not being a citizen of the United
States, with being a law breaker, with be-
ing polygamist, and charged the State OF
Utah with breaking its compact with the
United States when it pledged itself under
its Constitution when it was admitted to the
Union not to permit the practice of polyga-
my within IFS borders. 1t was charged
that Mr.. Roberts had been convicted of po-
lygamy under the Edmunds Law, and
served term of four months in the Utah
penitentiary for the crime. He alleged that
he had not only continued polygamist,
but had actually taken third wife since
the enactment of the anti-polygamy law,
and was at the present time living in state
of polygamy in violation 70 the statute of
the United States and Constitution of the
State of Utah.

into the House o: Representatives as mem
ber of Congress from Utah. and then pro-
ceeded TO put him out, if the House should
so vote.
Mr.. Roberts was granted 80 minutes to
speak in his own defense. which time was
finally extended to so minutes. He re-
ceived the closest attention. and showed
himself TO be an orator OF no mean powers.
He had musical voice and while not ap-
parently speaking loudly could be heard in
all parts of the chamber.
Mr.. Roberts hurt his case by his speech.
He did not go into the merits of the promo

the sum and substance of which was that
he could not be convicted before he was
tried: that he must be assumed to be inno-
cent until he was proved guilty. He never
declared directly or by insinuation that he
was innocent of the charges preferred. In
this particular he made great mistake.
On the whole he made a great tactical

When Congress opened the Capitol was
thronged with thousands of people who
could not approach within earshot of the
Mouse of Representatives. The case was
ootly argued and opinion was rather di-
Vided as 10 whether Mr.. Roberts would be
allowed to take his seat. and then be eX-
PEELED from the House, or whether an OBJ
jection would be offered to his taking the
cath and his case be tried by committee
nfiof to his admission.
Sir. Roberts himself was on the floor Of
dle House, and showed vast amount Of
nerve. His daughter. who has come with
him from Utah. as a contribution from one
of his three families. to act as clerk TO her
father. occupied place in the gallery.
Mr. Roberts is a heavy-set, stolid-looking
man. in the prime of life, with large head
and face, indicating great deal of English
bulldog character. His hair is luxur:ant
and waves from his forehead. He was
dressed in a Prince Albert coat, which he
wore buttoned straight up the front.
Before the House was called to order he
was in close consultation with Mr.. Richard
son, of Tennessee, the Democratic leader,
and Congressman John J. Lentz, of Ohio,
who seemed TO be upon terms of intimacy
with him, and it was supposed would ap-
pear with his defenders; on the other hand,
when the pinch came, Mr.. Lentz did not
vote with Roberts's friends. When the roll
was called by the clerk MIR. Roberts an
swered for Utah with a loud voice. and
when the time came TO be sworn he ad-
vanced to the bar OF the House, but here his
case came to a sudden halt.

peared as spokesman for the opposition, of
