E FACTS.
The people along the Atlantic sea
board , and especially those of Now Eng
land , pride themselves upon being way
ahead of thopooploof the west in the matter -
tor of law and order and public morals.
They labor under the delusion that the
people west of the Mississippi still live
in a nomadic state , bordering on aborigi
nal barbarism. This idea prevails moro
especially an regards our western cities ,
which are grouped together as no many
Loadvillcs , Durangoa and Dcadwoods.
FacU nro stubborn things , and a compari
son of the crime record in western cities ,
with tliat of the towns and cities of Now
England with equal population , would
dispel this delusion and afford absolute
proof that the people in thcso cities nro
just as law-abiding as these of any other
section of the country. Wo have before
us the annual report of the city marshal
of the city of Springfield , Mass. ,
which wo take to bo a correct exhibit of
the moral status of thnt Now England
city. Springfield has a population of
about thirty thousand , or nearly twenty
thousand loss than Omaha. Springfield
has twenty-eight policemen , while
Omaha has loss than twenty. During
the year 1883 there have boon 1,020 ar-
reals in Springfield , according to the city
marshal's * report. The total number of
arrests in Omaha , during the past year ,
will not bo over 2,000 , which is a loss
number in proportion to the population
than Springfield. In Springfield there
were 1,053 arrests for drunkenness , which
shows that for sobriety Omaha is the
equal , if not the superior , of that citv.
Tramps are moro numerous in Springfield
than in Omaha , the former city having
lodged 1,588 in iln station house , while
Omaha has housed only a few hundred.
In looking over the marshal's report wo
find that it presents as great a variety of
offoiiscs as can bo found in any western
city. The number of arrests in Spring-
Gold is certainly very largo for a city of
that size , but it is not unlikely that every
other Now England city or town is pro
portionately infested with crime. Wo
have every reason to believe that our
western cities will show a cleaner record
than most cities of the east in nearly every
instance. Our common schools are the
equal of any in the country. Our
churches are numerous and afford every
opportunity for religious worship. Our
morals are of as a high a standard as
these of any other section in the United
States. It is a great mistake for eastern
people to suppose that such cities as ,
Omaha , St. Joe , Loavonworth , Atchison ,
Topeka , and Kansas City are frontier
towns , whoso population is largely composed -
posed of the rough clement. Those cities
have long ago assumed the metro
politan airs and the cultured refinement
of the cast , one of the main causes being
that our population is largely composed
of the hotter class of eastern pooplo.
Another interesting fact is learned
from the marshal's report ot Springfield ,
and that is that of the total number of
arrested persons 835 were Americana and
785 were of foreign birth. Hitherto the
cry has boon that the criminal class was
composed almost entirely of foreigners.
This delusion is effectually exploded by
the exhibit from which wo have quoted.
OAHJ.ISI.II'H committee on commerce is
n political daisy. Barksdalo , the Missis
sippi bull-dozer , and Reagan , the post
master general of the southern confed
eracy , are men who ought to bo put any
where else than in the management of
the commercial interests of the nation as
represented in the house. Ittpubllcan.
If Longstroot , Mosby or General Gor
don had boon on this committee , the
Union Pacific orgtn would not fool so in
dignant. What has the war.record of
Reagan and Barksdalo to do with the
question of regulating inter-state com
merce ? Is not Reagan competent to
Iraft a bill to prevent railway extortion
nd discrimination ?
OTJtlt LANDS THAN OURS.
Great Britain has experienced a lull in
oliticnl nllairs during the holidayswhich
ro moro generally observed in the Brit-
sit Isles than in any other portion of the
; lobo. While there is a temporary sus-
) onsion of excitement during the recess of
larliament there has boon no lack of
ixciting sensations through dynamite
xplosiona and the alleged discovery of
ornblo plots. Parnoll's -Dublin speech
a * , had a marked ofloct upon the liberal
cadors. Not only has Chamberlain , who
Is very radical , pronounced himself in
aver of the sullrugo in 'Ireland , but
'orator ' , the inveterate enemy of the land
cage , now declares tliat Pornoll and his
bllowers will have uo grievance to make
capital out of , as a liberal reform will
ncludo Ireland equally with England
ml Scotland. For'atcr inclines to the
ipiuion that an extension of the suffrage
and a readjustment of the representation
hould be two distinct measures , the lat
er being loft to the enlarged constituon-
ics to Bottle through representatives of
.heir own choaing. It is on this point
.hat tlin torics probably will concentrate
heir attack on the policy of the admin-
stratlon. Whatever course Mr. Glad
stone elects to follow they will bo sure
, o discover vru not the wiser of the two.
Just now , however , Gladstone anil his
cabinet have tjieir hands full with the
complications that have arisen between
China mid Franco through the Tonquliii
war. The capture of Sontay has aroused
the French to a pitch of enthusi
asm that will brook no interfer
ence and U is almost certain that
an offer of mediation by Great Britain
on behalf of China would bo summarily
spurned and rejected by the Frond
Chambers. The forced departure fron
Paris of the Marquis T/cng , who ha
( one to London in obedience to instruct
ions from the Chinceo emperor , enl
complicates matters , China has as ye
made no declaration of nar agains
, imil iho French JUtmcUyi av
that they are not waging war against
China but are merely seeking the occu
pation of the delta of the Snngkol to pro
tect their collonial possessions in Asia.
There can bo no mediation whore there
is no war , and therefore Lord Oranvillo
and the diplomats are at sea.
Matters evidently grow worse rather
than bettor in the southern dependen
cies of Egypt. The reinforcements sent
into the Soudan are so insufficient that
the European officers in command enter
tain no hopes of making headway against
El Mahdi and his black myriads , Eng
land refuses to undertake the suppress
ion of the rebellion , and advises the
Khedive to accept the assistance the
Porto has offered. And the Khedive ,
knowing that Turkish assistance moans
his own reduction to the rank of amore
moro pasha , threatens to resign ,
if ho bo not supported more
vigorously by his western mantora , All
this is the outcome of a policy which sup
pressed the true rulers of Egypt in the
interests of the Shylocks of Pans and of
London. Wo BOO nothing bettor to do
than recall Arab ! Pasha and make him
khedive in place of the imbecile now in
powOr. He at least would inspire some
religious enthusiasm into the resistance
to El Mahdi. At present that potent
force works altogether for the rebels.
The | ) oacoablo and hard-worked Amer
ican missionaries of the United Presby
terian church are invohod in thcso
troubles by the accusation that they
have been stirring the Copta to resis
tance. It ia undoubtedly true that as in
Bulgaria the American missionary inllu-
once has worked to make the native
Christians more independent and self-
respecting. But it has not worked to
alienate them from their country or their
Moslem countrymen. Their sympathies
Trent with Arabi Pasha in the recent
'struggle , as did these of the Egyptian
people generally. They are no doubt
excited by the prospect of an invasion of
Egypt by an army of Moslem fanatics
from the Soudan ; but thii excitement is
ono which a sensible government of
Egypt would use for it own benefit. It
is the misfortune of the khodivo's gov
ernment that it takes everything by the
wrong handle.
It is reported that at an expense 'of
233 men and thirteen oflicors , and after
two days' Imrd fighting , the French have
captured Sontay ; but , like the Russian
reduction of Plovna , it iaa capture work
ing indirectly to the glory , and perhaps
to the instruction , of the defeated. The
insistence encountered at Sontay makes
it apparent that oven Chinese soldiery
can fight on the forlorn hope ; and that ,
if the French advance is to bo similarly
ontcstnd , inch by inch , the invaders
lave no holiday work before them. But
meantime the success at Sontay has boon
f immense moral value to the ndminis-
ration , in uniting on the republican min-
stry , for the time being , all comploctions
f that at all times most complex set of
ihonomona French homo politics ,
'hero is ono element of
ho French character which philoa-
phors have surrendered any hope of over
[ iidorstanding. and can only accept as a
ict the rapidity with which all personal
iflbroncos of opinions among Frenchmen
an bo merged into enthusiasm by a
ingle fortunate coup. The present war
f annexation in Asia is , as everybody
-an see , a like experiment for anchorage
f his administration on the part of M.
Irovy , and , so far , a nuccossful ono. The
ictory nt Sontay , remote and insignifi-
ant as it is , has boon to the Grovy ad'
ninistration what Egypt was to Nape
eon. It has silenced criticism , and for
lie moment united Frenchmen. 'A re-
ulso would have had the reverse effect.
Jut , so far , the result is all that M.
Irovy can desire. Under spur of the
ontay success even sunh malcontents as
Victor Hugo have for the time being
ocomo administrationists.
What passed between the Gorman
rown prince and the pope , during their
eng interview at the Vatican , has not
eon divulged. To these , however , who
ocall the relations of the Prussian mon-
rcliy to the papacy during the last tliir
BOH years the fact that such a visit
hould have boon paid at all is fraught
rith undoniublo significance. The at-
enipt , indeed , to represent the tender
f respect and good will made by Prince
'rodorick William as a more formality
ill seem absurd when we consider how
asy it would have boon to arrange a
nooting with King Humbert at Florence
r Turin instead of at Rome. Either of
tie first named places would have suited
lie Doprotis cabinet much bettor , for
licro would have then ooen no occasion
give the world emphatic proof that
lie Culturkampf is over. The visit of
lip crown _ prince of Germany to Rome
rings into light once moro the quarrel
otwoon the government of Italy and
liat of the popo. Germany , as formerly
Russia , is the only Protestant power
vhich maintains an embassy at the papal
ourt , The visit of the crown prince
lioroforo has an official character with
elation to both pope and king.
Russia seems to bo fast reaching a
loint where only throe courses will bo
pen to the government , a war , a const- !
ution , br a revolution. The royonue
tcadily falls off , revolutionary opinions
proad and are passing from the house-
lold troops of the emperor through the
rmy , vrliilo the provinces nro beginning
p show the dangerous interest in n na-
ional assembly which has hitherto only
ppoarod in St. 'Petersburg and Moscow.
L war would bo the natural refuge of the
inperor ; but the only power with which
lussia can fight is Germany , and a con-
cut with Germany is almost hopeless
when the great empire has Austria for its
illy and the Balkan states are all unti-
luuian , An unsuccessful war would belie
lie end of the Romanoff dynasty , and a
evolution could do no worse. A const- !
ution remains as difllcult a atop as over.
NO preparation has boon made for it in
ho fifteen years of nihilist agitation , and
10 man ia wise enough to say what spirit
vill rise when the emperor ventures to
ircak the seal which has so long confined
lusaian liberty. A peasant revolt , a mu-
ilcipnl mob in the two capitals of the
empire , or the rule of the most corrupt
oflico-holdors in tho' world any ono oi
these may come. Still it appears clear ,
as rumors multiply in regard to a lion
constitution , tliat Alexander has returned
'rom his-visit to Cop jnhagen in a mood
, ois3uu n constitution if ho can break
through tho'palaco ring to do it.
The people of the island of Jamaica are
Rutting very tired of jjovormmmt with
out representation. The British govern
inent nan no desire to insibt upon the
present plan of colonial management
but if an elective government is ro-eatab
lislted in Jamaica thcru is no doubt the
mother country will proudo that the
noxrb population shall lm\u the right o

portion of negroes to the nholu body u

ricd on n lessor scale in Jamaica. It is
oubtful , however , whether the white
opulation of Jamaica , much as they do-
ire to got rid of their present political
rrangcmont , will take kindly to the en-
ranchiiomont of the negroes.

It required fifteen conlurici to raise
lie population of Paris from 8,000 under
ulian , in the latter half of the fourth
pntury , to 1,000,000 in 1840. The tor-
itory of the city was no moro than fif-
eon hectares , or 150,000 square metres ,
i the time of Ciysar , and thirty-eight in
lie reign of Julian , while in the thlr-
cnnth century it had expanded to 253
octaros. It was troubled , under Henry
V.j with a population of 200,000 ooula ,

Old Testament Revision , .
New York Times.
Although the revised edition of .tho
Old Testament has not yet boon publish-
d , it is already known that the revisers
mvo corrected a largo number of mis-
akcs chiefly of the nature of mistrans-
ation which exist in the authorized
eraion. Some of these corrections
mvo been made public , and they will
omowhat surprise these people who have
joon accustomed to believe that the
ranslatjni of King James' version
iharcd the inspiration of the Hebrew
vriters ,
The revisers have remorselessly derived -
) rived Joseph of his "coat of many
colors. " For that extraordinary picco of
latchwork , popularly supposed to have
icon put together by Jacob himself in
oiauro moments , is substituted "a tunic
with long sleeves. " This was doubtless
a moro serviceable garment ; but the dis
appearance of the coat of many colors
robs the story of Joseph of a share of its
licturesquonoss , and for that reason will
> o presented by the publishers of illustrated
stratod scripture stories for the young.
Tardy justice is done to the hippopbta
mus by the revisers. Hitherto that woll-
sonductod beast has been represented as
ho most thirsty .and conceited of ani-
naler. The authorized version says of him
hat "ho drinkoth up a river , and hasteth
not ; ho trustoth that he can draw up Jor
dan into his mouth. " It was manifestly
a poetic exaggeration to charge the hip
popotamus with the habitual drinking up
of on entire river ; but the assertion tliat
.he boast felt confident of his ability to
draw up the Jordan into his mouth was
equivalent to charging the hippopotamus
nth idiotio self conceit. It now appears
hat Job never used this objectionable
anguago in regard to the hippopotamus.
3o merely said : "Though a river swells
10 is not afraid ; fearless though Jordan
washes to his mouth. " That is to say ,
.ho hippopotamus is not in the least
afraid of being drowned , and has no ob-
oction to bathing facts which are as in
contestable as they are creditable.
Many sermons have boon preached
upon the passage in which Isaiah is ro-
> rospntod as speaking of "chariots with
laming torches , " and the preachers have
usually interpreted the passage as a pro-
ihotic description of the modern locomo-
ivo engine. No moro sermons of this
mturo can bo preached , if the revised
) ld Testament becomes the authorized
ersion , for in it the passage in question
roads "chariots with flashing steel. " The
woods which inlsaiah's time were full of
) satyrs"nnd"dragons" have boon entirely
; learcd of those undesirable boasts by thee
o visors , jvnd are now inhabited only by
larmlow''goats" and noisy but innocuous
jackals" . " _
The "nation scattered and pooled
vhosp land the rivers have spoiled" was
certainly in a very wretched conditionac
cording to Isaiah's ' description. Toboscat-
erod and to havoono'sland spoiled issuf-
iciontly objectionablebut to bo "peeled"
n addition and then placed at the mercy
> f ready-made clothing merchants is morjj
han any nation could boar. The revisers
mvo done much for this hard-used nation
by turning it into a "nation tall and
shaven , whoso land the rivers divide. "
These samples of the work of the ro-
isers will startle conservative people , for
hey suggest that the revised Old Testa
ment will differ from the authorized yer-
ion.much moro widely than the revised
STuw Testament differed from its prede
cessor. If it is a bettor translation as
t doubtless is it will make its way in
hue , but there are people who will bit-
orly resent any change whatever in the
sacred volume.

HIS GOLDEN .IU1UI < EK.
A Grout , Event In Iho Clerical lillo or

New York htar.
As the memorable event of the golden
t
jubilee of Cardinal McCloskoy approaches ,
Catholic societies in the city and state
are making preparations Id offer various
demonstrations and marks of esteem to
his eminence on the auspicious occasion.
On the 12th of January next the Cimlinal
will have attained the fiftieth anniversary
of his ordination to the priesthood , The
principal clergy of the archdiocese re
cently hold a mooting in St. Agnes' church
to consider the most appropriate means
of making the occasion memorable in the
annals of the church in this city and state.
It was resolved to present an address by
10 c'uuy to the Cardinal on the eve of
10 celebration. An address will also be
resented from the laity of the diocese ,
'hero will bo a pontifical high mass cole-
rated at the cathedral on the 12th , which
rill bo sung by _ the senior archbishop of
lie dioccso , assisted by the cardinal him-
olf.

The memorable gift to bo presented on
lie occasion to his eminence in consider-
tion of his great services to the church
rill bo a pulpit of gorgeous design , which
vill cost nearly § 10,000. A compliment-
ry dinner will bo tendered on the day of
lie celebration at the catholic orphan
asylum ,
CardinalMcCloskoy was born in Brook-
, -n in 1810 , and graduated from Mount
it. Mary's College , Md. Ho was ordain-
d priest in 1834 , after which ho wont to
lonio for the purpose of completing his
Indies. Ho became pastor of St. Joseph's
> n his return to Now York , and in 1811
jecnmo first president of St. John's col-
ego at Fordhatn. Ho was appointed
oadjutor to Archbishop Hughes in 1844 ,
and bishop of Albany in 1847 , Ho bo-
amo archbishop of Now York in 18G4.
To has boon ono of the most successful
workers in the church , especially in the
iromption of worthy charities and charit-
ble institutions , while ho has been care-
ul to promote the best interests of
education , both religious and secular.
\mong the durable monuments of his
norgv may bo mentioned an industrial
chool for destitute children , an institu-
ion for deaf and dumb girls , a homo for
igcd women , a Gorman hospital and an
nstitution for the aged and infirm. Ho
was created cardinal-priest of the Roman
Catholic church March 15 , 1875 , under
ho title of Sancta Maria supra Minor-
ram. The last and greatest worl under
ho supervision of the cardinal was the
iomplotion of the great cathedral which
lis eminent and beloved predecessor ,
Archbishop Hughes , began.
A Novel Hotel.
Hotel JIoll , ,
Speaking of the now hotel to bo built
n St. Louis , a gentleman from ' that city
ays it will have accomodation's for 3,000
> orsons. It will be the largest hotel in
ho world , but will not design to do
ransient business , as really its position
will unfit it for that kind. The hotel will
> o for the accommodation of these families
and persons who wish for the accomoda-
lions and surroundings of a comfortable
lorao but do not find them in the ordi-
mry flats or boarding houses of this city.
The prices will bo so varied that a man
may bo able to live there for U5 cents or
525 a day. It is not a wild scheme , but
L business affair , and , though laughed at ,
I intend to carry it to completion. There
