We take issue with the State Register
wherein it says that the Hon. James F.
Wilson is also on good terms with the
Senatorial factionists Of the Republican
party and that his nomination would
have strong tendency to restore
harmony. II is no recommendation
to any man in our opinion, to say that
his nomination would have tendency
to harmonic one of the Senatorial
cabal, and we do not believe with the
Register that the nomination Of Wilson
would have that effect. The fact is a
few distinguished Republicans have
taken upon themselves through spite
full, selfish and ambitious motives. the
job of thwarting the combined and
enthusiastic voice of ninety-nine hun
dredths of the party to which they
belong, or did belong; 1t cannot be

parry to say ofsahny man at this time
that his candidacy would sooth the
passions of these disorganizers, and

was teacher of youth. One day, sew
enty odd years ago, q boy was brought
to him, of whom the account given was
that he was an incorrigible Ounce, that
none Of his masters had been able to
make anything OF him: and he was
brought to Mr.. Towne as last experi-
ment before apprenticing him to me-
chanical trade. The next morning Mr.
Towne proceeded to examine him, pre-
paratory to entering upon his instruc-
ton. After the first mistake he made
the boy lodged on onegide, with every

Mr.. Towne. THAT is not my way of
treating boys who do as well as they
can. Tho lad very soon improved
rapidly under this new treatment, SO
that Mr.. Townc advised his father to
give him liberal education. The
father could hardly believe the story ut
first; but was convinced, and complied
with the good masters suggestion

As will be seen by our Des Moines
correspondence, the Senate has
voted down the resolution providing
for submitting to the people the
amendment to strike the word male
from the State Constitution. The
House had Already carried thessesolu-
ton by a strong vote. ~.
We are sorry that this result was
reached in the Senate, as it leaves this
question open for agitation for from
four to SIX years more. This resolu-
ton had been favorably acted upon by
the Legislature two years ago. aud il
the 18th General Assembly had done
likewise, the..qnestion would have been
ready for submission. We have nc
doubt but that it would have beer
voted down by very large majority
and hence those voting in the negative
could see no reason for submitting it

The alsshodiss General Conssrsnee

The forthcoming meeting of the Gen.
eral Conference of the Methodist Epis-
copnl Church at Brooklyn, N. Y, will
be one of the most important iii the
annals of that organization. For the
first time in her history, the lay ele-
ment will be admitted to participation
in supreme councils. There are sev-,
eral vacancies in the Board of Bishops
to be filled, and the indications are that
the revolutionary element of the
Church will have several propositions
to submit looking to some radical
changes in polity. Among the more
important changes suggested is one
districting the episcopal work after
the diocesan method. Another is the
charging Of the work of the Presiding
Elders so as to give them charge Of
larger districts, and thus confer upon
them more fully sub.episcopal authority
The presence of distinguished repres-
entatives from domestic and foreign
work of Methodism, will also add in
terest to the occasion. Among the lay
representatives chosen are some of the
most distinguished jurists and mer-
chants of the nation. The session of
the Conference will probably last a
month"; Cincinnati Times.

FIRE,


Last evening, about 8 o'clock, the me
bell sounded, and the people rushed to
and fro, some down town and some up
town to discover where the fire could be.
At last it was ascertainsd to be the
residence OF w. J. Mitchell. ESQ.,, cor
ner Jefferson and Fourth streets. Mr..
Jas. Hawley jr. was the first to discover
the fire, and at the time he arrived ND
on the ground, the fire was in the hall.
on the east side, the stairway then be-
ing nearly burned out and ready to
fall in. He opened the front hall door,
but the heat was SO intense that it pre-
vented an attempt TO enter. Parties
arriving on the ground then endeavor-
ed save some Of the furniture, but on
ly succeeded in getting through the
parior window sofa, sewing machine
and few chairs. All of the family's
household goods and fine piano. with
the exception OF the above named,
were consumed in the fire.
1AA' MlttAcH HlIO lllS vile We're AT
the First Methodist Church at prayer
meeting, and the rest Of the family
were all absent from home at the time
the fire broke out. 1t is not known
whether the fire originated from de-
fective fiue or the bursting OF q kero-
sene lamp, which was left burning bu1

household goods and wearing apparel,

niture and household goods, including

The fire engine turned out promptly,
but owing to the great distance from
water it could do nothing. The Hook
and Ladder Company made gallant

half mile. but owing to the combus-

Of pine, it was pretty well burned
down before they could reach there.
1t showed, however, that they could
and would do good service under any,
thing like favorable circumstances. It
being dry time the surrounding
houses, and especially that of Phillip
keister, were in imminent danger for
while, but luckily none of them took
fire.
