We are very happy to be able to announce
au,horitatively that Governor Stewart will
not decline a second nomination for the office
Of Governor if rendered to him by the Re-
publican party in this State This is as it
should be- While there are many gentlemen
to whom we might gladly give our support
for this office, there is not one who can bring
so high claim for the nomination as our
present Governor can for denomination.
Aside from the personal character and abii-
ties and the political qualifications OF Gov.
ernor Stewart, there is propriety, which we
trust never to see violated, in giving second
term to all worthy and honorable incumbent.
Of the Gubernatorial chair II is the only
mark Of Acknowledgment that Republican
people eau bestow upon faithful service rem
dercd by their public servants The position
of Governor i. the most dignifed and hon
orable held by any citizen Of the State, anc
it will be a pleasure to US that its dguit.
should be maintained for another term by gu
present chief magistrate.

Who has not admired the strategic maneuyre

modern political parlanec the divided enemy.
either in battle field or the field of politics, is

the great strategy Of weaker parties Probably
never in the history Of American politics was
this monster stroke Of policy played more skill.
fully than is now being done by the leaders, tho
master spirits Of the Democracy, 50 called
most adroitly are they manipulating the ma
chinery Of the Cincinnati Convention.
Those Republicans who, by any Of the thou
sand and one means, have become di,a1ec,ed with
President Grants administration, and are now
looking to Cincinnati for redress or some sort Of
change, may think that the Democracy, in some
way, is to bring relief TO our distressed coun.
try" now going to ruin under the NAL admins
,ration sustained by vast majority Of the party
that has carried the country through the peris Of
civil war.
But how is this relief to come from the Demo.
cratic party Do the Republicans now assem-
bling at Cincinnati really think they will find
their opponents Of the las! twenty or dozen years
more patriotic, more safe rulers OF the country,
than the great mass Of Republicans now sap
porting Cen Grants administration? If the
Democracy is expected to endorse and carry out
the Cincinnati movement. will il claim no voice
in its action and results If ii should happily sue
coed? Disguise the matter as some may, there
can be no doubt that these proceedings at Gin
cinnati are wholly in the control of Democratic
managers, or they are nothing. Can any nomi-
nations at Cincinnati succeed without the sup
port Of the almost entire vote Of the Democratic
partyY The leading spirits Of that party arc
now Rating to see what amount Of disaiIection
may be worked up against Gen. Grants re-elec-
ton. If it shall appear sufficient to ensure sue
cess, by joining the Liberal Republicans, to
elect acceptable candidates President and Vice

electing anti-Republican members of Congress,
that will be deemed glory enough for Democracy
under such circumstances But if it should ap-
pear that the Republicans could be divided sufficient

Methodist General Conference.

Great interest attaches to the approaching
session Of the General Conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal church, which opens in
New York to-day, and which will probably
continue its daily sessions for at least
month This body-which meets once in
four years-is fitting representative Of that
great branch of the evangelical church which,
both in its membership and value Of church
property, oyershadows every other ecclesias-
teal organization in our country. This con-
ference is a numerous body, composed Of over
four hundred delegates, and has the determin-
alton, as a court of last appeal, Of all ques-
tons arising in the denomination, either Of
doctrine or discipline Throughout the
whole field of the Methodist church an ex-
traordinary interest is felt in this meeting
because it is the first in which the laity are
represented by delegates of their own choice
The last general conference submitted the
question Of lay representation first to vote
Of the laity themselves, and if sanctioned by
them then to vote of the annual conferen-
ces and if sanctioned by two-thirds of these
the change in the constitution Of the body
was to be made. All these conditions have
been complied with during the past four years,
and accordingly lay delegates will now for
the first time participate with their clerical
brethren on equal terms in all the delbera-
tions of the highest council of the church.
Delegates are also expected from all parts
Of the world Some have already arrived,
including the Rev. Mr.. ptmau, of Liberia,
native African; the Rev. DR.. Jacoby is on
the way from Europe to represent Germany
and Switzerland the Rev. Henry Mansell
to represent India, and the Rev. Dr.. Maclay
the churches in China.
Prominent among the topics awaiting the
consideration of the conference will be the
choice of several new Bishops land doubtless
five or six preachers will be raised to that
dignity, the yexed state of the Book Concern
in New York, the general interests of the
church, church extension, the cause of mis-
sions, etc, etc
With the union of the best aud most de.
voted minds in the denomination, both ceri
cal and lay, we may look confidently for such
action as will materially advance the interest;
of Methodism in America

~ Tbaddeus Stevens left singular pro.
vision in his will. 1t was to the effect that
his nephew should have his splendid library,
on condition that he would abstain from the
use of malt liquors for five years, and if be
failed to do so, the collection was to be sold.
1t seems that the young man valued lager
above literature, and could not leave his beer
for books and so the library has just passed
under the hammer in Philadelphia. Lawyers
from New York, Boston, Baltimore, Wash
ington, and other and more distant cities at
tended the sale; and the result was that about
twelve hundred volumes brought s3l 900
One of the most lamentabe things connected
with the death of such men is the scattering
Of their libraries. The books collected during
his lifetime by lover of literature, or one
eminent in any intellectual pursuit, have a
character and value aside from that of each
separate volume, which disappear when the
library is broken up. The best thing to be
done with such collection is to give il to
some institution of learning, orsome public Ii
brary, where il will at once retain its indi-
yduality and serve its highest purpose.

W Additional light is thrown on the
question of the treatment of habitual drunk
ards by some returns just submitted to the
English House of Commons During the year

yictions for being drunk and disorderly in
England, scotland and ireland. OF this num-
Der 23,l75 were second convictions, 1905
third convictions and II s4S had been pre-
coded by three or more convictions. In other
words, one-quarter Of the whole number,
very nearly, were old offenders, and almost

course that is adopted with them. Statistics
of our own State have been published and
show a similar state Of affairs. Public opin-
lou ought to be aroused on this, as one of the

BTMrs. George P Marsh gives some in
teresting facts Of the contribution of the
poor people of Vaudois to the Chicago suf-
ferers, amounting to $3.50. She says
" The poorest family in Chicago, or any 9th.
or American town, lives, as a general rule,
far better than the average Yaudos have
seen the father of family put tablespoon
full of Indian meal into cup of cold milk,
stir it carefully, and drink it off for his
breakfast, with an air of perfect content.
You may say he might at least have cooked
it. No; he was living so high up the noun
tain that every dry twig was precious. OF
course l would not have their gifts declined
it would hurt them; but if some of your
men who are still wealthy would some day
take it into their hearts to remember the
Vaudois poor, am sure it would bring a
blessing" And they are actually talking
about Vaudois fund at Chicago.

BY telegraph Of yesterday we are informed
that our minister at the Court Of St. james
has been instructed to say that the " United
States is ready to make a supplementary
treaty in which the negation Of our case at
Geneva will he agreed upon as governing the
conduct Of neutras in event Of war" That
is, the government, after having presented a
claim for consequential damages to the arbl-
traitors at Geneva, is ready to make a treaty
with England, by which consequential DANA
ges shall never be claimed by either nation
hereafter, because Of the acts of either dur
ing war with other nations. There have been
indications for some time that the government
was trying to save its reputation and honor,
aud surrender the claim for indirect damages.
The whole affair has been most bunglingly
managed. 1t was extremely unwise TO put
such claim into our case, when it was un-
derstood by the British Government that no
such claim was to be presented. When two
men refer a question Of difference between
them to an arbitrator, it is not expected that
either Of them at pleasure eau submit other
questions than the one agreed upon. Oar gov.
eminent has made this mistake, Of adding to
our case a subject for arbitration, that not only
was not agreed upon, but was understood to be
entirely waived by the United States. Nor
was it strange that England should be dis
turbed She would have been entirely justi-
fed in refusing to 60 before the arbitrator
at all. 1t is a question whether she will ac-
cept this tardy and obique reparation. We
trust however she will do 30. But if she
does not, and our government concludes to
press the indirect damages we think it would
be wise to add still another claim The Uni

ton aud gripping Of many of her industries
