Fur the Journal. A lew Stricture Upoa M. I. Vonway. There is a great deal of bluuder ing talk and writing about the Jact that the revisers of the 2Jew Testa- ment have introduced Hades into their version. Herejs a specimen, from Moncure D. .Conway, a good instance of his want of care and conscientiousness in making his points against the orthodox. Here Is what he says: "The pit of hell, which the new translators have overlaid with the classic mythology of Hades," etc., etc. Now where people in general talk in this style, we may reasonably ascribe it to an innoceut ignorance. They know nothing of Creek, and have no con ception of simple questions of schol arship. When they sec Hades here and there in the New Testament where they had been used to see hell, they naturally imagine that the change 5b induced by a doctrinal iufluencc. But no Buch excuse can be pleaded for Conway. In him it must be either a-scandalous indiffer ence to knowing the truth, or a scandalous indifference to speaking the truth. Now what are the facts? The English Concordance gives hell as occurring in 23 passages. Of these, a Greek Condordanco sHows that in the original 11 have Hades, 1 Tar tarus (implied in a verb) and 11 Geenna. Of these three terms Gcen na, or Gehenna, was the Jewish name of the place of torment ; Tar tarus the Greek name of the same; and Hades the Greek name (trans lating the Hebrew Sheol) for the placo of the dead, without regard to character. Thus these two words (throwing TartaruB in with Gehen na) have two meanings, the one comprehending both the righteous and the wicked, the other restricted to the wicked. What the revisers have done is Bimply to distinguish where the original has distinguish ed ; which they haye done by giving Hades where the Greek gives IladeH, and using hell for Gehenna and the once -used Tartarus, both which moan what wo commonly mean by hell, namely, the place of future punishment. To charge upon the doctrinal bias of our age something which three glances into a Concord ance immediately show to result from simple fidelity to the original, in a common man would be simple ignorance, but in Moncure D. Con way it can be only a prevarication. But, it may be urged, the rich man is said to have lifted up his eyes in hell, being in torments, and that here, too, the revisers have substi tuted Hades. Very true. They have given Hades here, simply because the original has it here. The rich man was in torments because he was ovil, not because he was in Hades. That word is used because he is described as conversing with Abraham and as seeing Lazarus. They wore in Hades, but among the blessed ; lie was in Hades, but among the damned. Here, too, the revis ers have done what fidelity bid them do, rendered a neutral word by transferring it, instead of allowing it to remain mistranslated by a word meaning what Hades does not mean, though sometimes, as hero, the con nection may add it. Nor is this retrenchment of the term hell to nearly half its former frequency eveu, as some might think, tho fruit of an effort (o bring the translation up to an honesty which it lacked before. Time had made it misleading, 1C11 was as honest in this point as 1SS1. The truth is that hell was then a very good rendering of Hades, for that is all it originally meant, and it had not yet confined itself to the darker meaning. Hela, in our old mythol ogy was the goddess of the Hollow Place, the subterranean realm of the dead. But as the TeutouB supposed afl their heroes and heroines, and not merely the very chief to escape her dominion, leaving only the more worthless souls, a subordinate idea akin to the present sense of hell came in. Thus this doubtful word was very well suited 270 years ago to its two-fold use, and its applica tion to both Hades and Gehenna was as honest then as its retention for Hades would bo objectionable now. This ambiguous sense of hell, as then used, is dhown by tho words in the Creed, where it is said that Christ "descended into hell," not meaning Gehenna, but simply Hades. In James I's day I do not suppose that anybody was troubled by these words; but now they make people uneasy, because they are mis understood. This misunderstanding should be obviated by substituting the original Hades in the Creed also. If this wore done, Moncure D. Con way would doubtless hail it as a sign that orthodoxy was giving way in its very strongholds. If he can prevaricate once about the matter, why not twice ? But this prophet of unbelief some times, like Balaam, bears witness against himself. In this same pass age he tells us that the pit of hell ib now covered up by the flowers of learning. We might remind him that flowers may very well cover up a pit, but that they do not render a fall into it any less dreadful. To save us from this dire danger, Mon cure D. Conway offers us concealing flowers ; our great Redeemer offers us revealing and saving light, and the powerful arms of His mercy. Every one can make his choice, and happily many millions have made a better choice than to follow this prophet of smooth things. Mr. Con way may help England to turn Atheist if 6hc will, but the stern yet loving gospel of God was preached before there was an England, and will not ceaBe though Euglaud should become heathen again. Clamdon, O. c. c. s. Itlver Transportation. At a recent convention held at Council Bluffs to consider the im provement of the Missouri river Senators Saunders and Van Wyck made the following ad drosses:. SENATOR SAUXHEKS' ADDUESS. Pending the reports of the com mittees at the afternoon session, IIou. Alvin Saunders, senator from Nebraska, was called on to address tho convention. Senator Saunders, after some pleasantries between him and Chairman Hogaj, said that he was heart and soul in sympathy with the objects of the convention, a fact which no man kuowB better than you, Mr. Chairman (addressing Mr. Hogau). Turuiug to the dele gates he said, I camo to hear you talk and tell what you want me to do, giving a full expression of your views. Mine are pretty well known. I took grounds in the senate iu Feb ruary last, in a speech in the senate for an appropriation of one million dollars to bo expended between Sioux City and the mouth of the Missouri. The committee reported in favor of $1,S00,000. We got only $300,000. Congress is not informed on this matter. I could name sena tors who didn't know that a steamer ever ran as high as this point. "How do steamboats get to Nebraska?" asked one. "Very easily," I replied, "on the largest river in the world." "But I thought," answered the sena tor, "that the Missouri river was back of Kansas." But ignorance will be overcome. These rivers must be opened. They are the only free highways that the people own. I am not prejudiced on this subject. I am a railroad man as well as a river man. We want all the rail roads we can get and twice as many as we now have. There is business for all. There is too much talk against the railroads. Wo go to work and start railroads, and help pay for them; we open them with great enthusiasm, and the next day we come out and denounce them as monopolists. This is all wrong. If therailroads abuse their powers and their trusts we hav our remedy iu the courts, and the legislatures and in congress. But there are some things whicli we of the west cannot afford to demand of congress. We only cut ourselves off from the ad vantagas they give us when we ask congress to pass a law establishing mileage rates between our section and the great markets. Such a pol icy would isolate the west. But "it is just what the cast wants. The cast has water competition and low rates, and we can have the same ad vantages if we go to work, not fight ing the railroads, and open the river to cheap transportation, so as to en able us to compete, not only with the markets of the old world, but with our own. Wc need to open up communication with the south and give them our grain and pork, so that they may use their ground for cotton. Wc are nothing if not an agricultural region. If wo can not find markot wc arc cut oil' and must live in poverty, when we ought to be the richest people in the world. The place to begin is in local meet ings, in boards of trade, and in conventions. The senator then re ferred to the market which should be opened up in Brazil. We buy fifty millions of that country and 6cll them but five million a year not because wc do not raise wheat they want, but because wc have no ships. What wc do ship has mostly to go no Europe. Now, start these barge lines, and lay our products alougside the sea vessels for Brazil, and wc shall have one of the best markets in the world, almost at out doors. I did vote once, I believe, for "monopoly ;" I voted iu favor of granting a subsidy to Roach, to ena ble him to open a line, from New York and New Orleans to that country. That was the only means I could then see to give us of the west this important advantage. Wo want the privilege of doing the best wc can with fair play. Delegates of the convention, we of Nebraska will give you a helping hand ; and let us unite and show congress that we can justly claim a fair Bhare of the millions it spends, in aid of the richest valley on earth, which only needs an outlet and a market. Fol low up your demands till you are heard by congress. We have been slow in Hub matter. I received more thanks for the efforts I made from St. Louis than from Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska together. Cease being slow in this thing. Wake up and go to work, and your object will soon be in a fair way of accomplishment. ADDRESS Br SENATOR VAX WTCK. Senator Van Wyck said he had' come to the convention with the view of listening and learning the views of others, though on this sub ject he has for years held definite views of his own. The question of the improvement of the river is year by year becoming more and more important to the dwellers in the valley. There was a time, and that not long distant, when the rivers were the only openings with the outside world. That was the day preceding railroads. Now there are four great roads which permeate the country; and they have done good service. But the people of these mid-western states are growing, and cultivation is extending; and those who live here ten years hence will find a population doubled, and pro duction quadrupled, and the rail roadB will also have to double their rails or there will also have to be double the number of railroads. In this crisis, comes in the question of a river improvement a question of interest and importance, not only to the people here resident, but to the people of the whole world. It is a question of reducing the cost of transportation by legitimate meth ods, and here is a convention which can speak of it without being charg ed with opposition to railroads or with being grangers carrying hay seed in their hair. There is nothing to hinder the work, there is no good reason why the government should not undertake it. The people are prepared for it, and all they require is that there shall be honest expend iture, and there will be no grudging of the money, whether it be one million, five millions or ten millions of dollars. If the problem of cheap transportation be solved then every interest in this country will be pro tected. What made tho south strong in its day? The fact that the cotton and slave iudustry was a uuit. To day the policy of the south is the policy of the manufacturing inter ests, and the railroad interests, and it is only the agricultural interest whose members are isolated and helpless in the presence of the other interests. Let it bo rotnemberod that our ultimate market is in Eu rope. It is here we must get our products, and the question of our prosperity depends on the cheapness with which the transportation is eflected. Here on the rivers is the way, and a way which antagonizes none, for he was glad to say that the wisest of railroad men aro iu favor of this great movemeut. In this great land there will bo no opposition to the movement to open these rivers so that commerce may float on their bosoms as easily and safely as on the smooth canals of the cast or the bosom of the ocean. The queBtiou of the cost is nothiug. Ever' year this country gives millions to the iron industry, and millions to the spindles ; but yet nothing has been rendered to agriculture which is the foundation of all. He repeated there is no antagonism to railroads. But all are aware that it ia tho trans portation from tho west which makes the millionaire fortunes of Wall street, and it would be no in jury to anybody to take a little money to improve the river ways which money will save great expen ditures in the future. Tho time is now for this great work; and there is no reason why it should not at once be accomplished. (Loud cheers.) HOW IT WQRKS IN WYOMING. Gov. Hoyt's Opinion of Woman Suffrage Territory of Wyoming, iijcg, i tmont, y 21, '81.) Executive Department Cheyenne, May Dear Madam : Availing myself of my first leisure moment after my return to the east, I now respond with pleasure to your inquiry of recent date concerning woman suff rage. Perhaps I would sufficiently cover the ground by saying that whereas I came to Wyoming in considerable doubt on the subject, three years of close observation and inquiry have established me in the conviction, not only that woman suffrage is a practical success in Wyoming, but that its adoption throughout our country is demanded by both jus tice and the highest political wis dom. While it has not accomplish ed all that enthusiastic reformers have fondly hoped, nor yet so much for the moral elevation of society as some have supposed there was rea son to anticipate a fact easily ex plained, in view of the peculiar circumstances which attach to a new community, composed iu large part of young persons here for a definite purpose, and without intention of permanent residence still it is un deniable. First, that it is accompanied by no evil results which are now dis coverable; and Second, that wo have bettor laws, "better men in office and a better so cial order because of it. The statement so often seen in print that "none but vicious women vote" is a gross libel, deserving of tho highest commendation. The womeu of Wyoming do "generally vote" and it is due to them that I say, they use the ballot with a large degree of independence and with more than the ordinary discrimina tion as to social ends and tho moral fitness of candidates. I congratulate tho people of Ne braska a state with so magnificent a future clearly before it on the liberality of their decision to take the first step in a revolution which for breadth and benificencc will rank foremost in the records of po litical history. Let us hope that the second great step will be forward. With great respect, your obedient servant, Johv W. IIoyt. To Mrs. C. B. Colby, Vico Pres't N. W. S. A. Iiciplinc iu Childhood. Young people who have been habitually gratified in all their desires will not only indnlgo more in capricious desires, but will in fallibly take it more amiss when the feelings or happiness of others re quire that they should be thwarted, than those who have been practi tically traiued to the habit of subdu ingaud restraining them, and conse quently will, in general, sacrifice the happiness of others to their own selfish indulgences. To what else is the selfishness of princes aud other great people to be attributed ? It is vain to think of cultivating principles of generosity and ben eficence by mere extortion and reas oning; nothing but the practica' habit of overcoming our own sel fishness, and of familiarly encoun tering privations and discomforts on account of others, will ever enable us to do it when required. Indulgence infallibly produces sel fishness and hardness of heart, and nothing but severe discipline and control can lay the foundation of a magnanimous character. This isn't a menagerie,' sharply observed an irascible deacon to a man who was trying to force a pas sage through a crowd at a church doorway. 'No, I presume not,' re turned the Btranger, 'or they wouldn't leave any of the animals to block up the entrance.' An old spinster's comparison of tho sexes : Many faults the women hare; Men have only two: There's nothing right thev say. And nothing risht they do. CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION. C. II.
