THE Methodists are inaugurating
measures for the celebration of the CEN
tennial anniversary of American Meth
odism, which occurs in the early part of
the coming year, although theAmerican
Methodist Episcopal Church, as sepa-
rate and distinct organization, did not
exist until Christmas day, 1854, when ut
n conference, called for the purpose at
Baltimore, the preachers assembled and
assumed the title of n church. On the
occasion of the celebration of this ami
versary, in accordance with the resolu-
tions of the Bishops, an effort will be
made to have the occasion marked by Il
reunion of the different fragments of
American Methodism, and more espe-
cially by the return of the Wesleyan
connection, which seeded from the pa
rent church in 1913, from three causes,
viz: slavery, church government, and
the sale and use of Intoxicating liquors.
The matter of education will also be
prominent subject of interest on the oc-
casion. We are not aware that the
exact day for this celebration has yet
been determined.

Tax on CIcnrs nnL Tohncen.

An association of German cigar and
tobacco manufacturers and dealers,
have been formed in New York for the
purpose of securing reform of the
revenue laws so far as their interests
are affected. From n city article in the
Herald we learn some interesting par
ticulars of a meeting held on Monday,
Mt which n report was submitted, sta
ting that bogus stamps have been issued
and used for stamping cigars, and that
measures have been taken TO stop the
use of them. Secretary McCulloch was
Informed OF this fact, and has been re-
quested to take immediate measures to
prevent these frauds. 1t further APP
pears that i'll conjunction with the Ma
tional Tobacconists Association, meas
ureS have been taken to hold another
national convention of the cigar manu-
tacturerS and tObaccOnists, which is to
be held ut the Cooper Institute OH the
22d of November. The Cooper Insti-
tute Hall has already been engaged for
this purpose. The United States Inter
nal Revenue Commissioners, who have
been been appointed to investigate the
operations of the Internal Revenue
laws, are invited to attend, and n call for
this convention is to be published in
about fifty papers in this country. The
object of the convention is to demon
strate TO Congress and the Internal
Revenue Commissioners the ineflici-
ency of the present revenue laws, as
far as the tax on cigars and tobacco
is concerned and to suggest meas
ures of reform. To prevent frauds in
the tobacco trade which, it appears under
the present system, are carried on on
an extensive scale, it is proposed to inn
pose the tax on the raw material-leaf
tobaccO-and to exempt the manufac-
tured article from taxation. The propo-
sitiOns of the Executive Committee
were adopted. Some discussion took
place in reference to the position of the
dealers in regard to this question. as it
was stated that dealers in cigars under
the present system of taxation can inn
port cigars at n lower price than those
furnished by the home manufacturers
n resolution was passed to the effect
that the dealers shall be invited to con-
unue their corporation in the NATTER
The convention to be held Mt the Cooper
Institute, it is stated, will recommend,
MS heretofore, that the purchaser, not
the producer, shall pny the tax, and
that tobacco imported shall be free
from taxation.

Let them Howl but Keep them to
Their Shameful Record.

From the Davenport (IOlUd.) Gazette.
Let Democratic journals and orators
howl over the debt and taxes their war
has brought. They but magnify their
own sins. Every dollar of debt is n
Democratic legacy. Every tax is a
Democratic gift. Every Government
stamp is Democratic sticking-plaster.
Every person in the United States
drinks i'll Democracy in his tea, his cof-
fee and his whisky, and in the sugar
wherewith he sweetcns them. Each
ingredient pays its quota for the cost of
Democracy to the country. The smok-
er inhNles Democracy. The sick man is
physiced with Democracy, The la
boring man gives about one hours Ia
Dor every day to pay for Democracy.
Inc capitalist pays one-tenth of his in
come for the cost of the Democratic
party, Every transfer of property is
saddled with the Democratic burden,
before he IS begotten, the child is sub
Ject to the Democratic tax. From the
cradle to the grave he never is free from
1t. The funeral mourning must first
pay the penalty of Democratic ruIe
ana A portion of that which he leaves
behind must go into the Democratic
will carry this Democratic burden from
birth to death. But for the Democratic
party our people would hardly have
known the nature of taxation. But for
the Democratic party, the hundreds of
thousands of young men whose bones
are strewn over the South would now
be productive labOrers and the support
and comfort of families now desoIate.
No one can attempt to deny this indict-
mont. No one can pretend that the
Democratic party had any cause for re-
bellion. Yet it has the effrontery to
cry over the burdens of taxation, AS
the father of the Democratic party.
when he had stripped Job of family
and possessions, charged it to his own
sins, and sought to draw him from his
integrity, so his Democratic sons now
come forward with equal effrontery
and charge their doings upon the Ioyal
people, and hypocrfticany howl over
their Affections, and seek toseduce them
from their integrity, to elect to power
the party that has brought all these
woes llOOn fhn lind ~

What Bcechcr Said ut the Supper---Ex-
ira Dinner in New York the Other
Evening.
'E. D. NJ who seems to have gone
on to New York on purpose to attend
the grand dinner given by Sir Morton
Peto the other evening, writes letter
to the Cincinnati Gazette, from which
we quote the following:
"But the striking part of the speech
making was done by my old acuuaint-
ance, Henry Ward Beecher, who looks
n good deal older than the ten years
since L have seen him will account for.
However, if years have run on, wit has
not run out. He had nothing to do
with the heavypart of the business, and
therefore could use his light arms with
out impairing the effect of the heavy
prices. He was brief, colloqual and
spoke at Mr.. PetO. He said one of the
first things he did on arriving i'm
Europe, was to attend the Communica-
ton the Baptist Chapel. There. one
OF the first men, he said, was Sir Morton
Ieto. he saw him OH railroads He
saw him Mt Bank. In fact, he only
needed to have been born in New En-
gland to have been UniUerSaL Yankee.
res, Sir Morton Peto is one of the solid
men, unless being a Baptist has turned
him into fluid" Abiding to Mr.. Peto's
batteries of this country, he said: 1
wish he had lived when 1 was n boy. to
butter my bread. They buttered it Serv.
Tery thini but, he would have put on the
butter thick. He would have been a
real comfort to boys ~
Abiding to what Sir Morton had said
about material interests, and the rela-
ton of the mother and daughter, he
said: ain one thing the mother and
daughter bore such remarkable re-
semblance to each other that ali the
world could see tin their intense lore
for their material interests, and the dol
lar and the guinea !"
He told the Englishmen that thew
might carry back to England the assur-
nnce that we were willing to accept all
the money we could get, and that no.
body wanted to go to war with England,
except those 'ChOm England had Sent to
u.s." This last is not exactly true; but
1t is beyond doubt true that such is the
aVldity for money making, that if IL
were plain we were plucking England
in our mutual commerce, as much as
she is evidently plucking us, the love
OF trade would eXtinguish nll remuin-
ing animosity.

Horace GrccIey's Opinion about West
Point and other Military SchooIs.

AAOA''Se OEccleS = opinion about West
Point and other Military Schools.
Mr.. Horace Greeley, in his late adj
dress in Chicago, thus referred to West
Point:
81 am not a friend of our national
military academy at West Point, LINN
disbelieVer however excellent. tho
privilege of Offering our armies. I
oeheVe we should have not one such
put hundred, in this country, / be,
neNe that every seminary should have
IT'S instruction in military drill. and
every university its course of instruc-
tlon III military tactics. And when Off
GERS are wanted for the army. believe
mere should be the freest competition;
ana the question be, not where did hc
learn" but What does he know p
lCheers.l But when 1 have said all
TINS, maintain That to-day West Point
is the pest practical school in this coun-
try: If had child in whom 1 took
an interest, and was offered education
Tor him where chose, 1 would say give
me West Point; merely because West
fOlnt IS an institution where the Dupil
IS trained with direct reference to prnc-
ticaI things. What is taught there in
cludes health, muscular physical actiY-
lty, and knowledge of what is neces-
Sary to be known. l say, without re-
ference to military affairs, L believe
West Point, which do not like, is the
best practical school for boys in this
country to-day"
We agree with Mr.. Greedy in his
opinion about the multiplication of
military schools. 1t should be the pub
lie aim, however, to make all their
schools as good as West Point. Until
they do that, we say, sustain West
Point, for its productions have shed
Immortality on the American name.
