It seems that the Utah folks are getting
short Of grain. as will be seen by the fol
lowing. taken from the Salt Lake News;
.sGrain, especially wheat, Is getting

hility that importation Of wheat from

"NO Methodist Who is Not GrieVed
and Sorry"

We feel bound to say that Methodists are
utterly opposed to mixing Church and pol
itics, to turning ecclesiastical gatherings
into caucuses, and that we believe every
minister In attendance at Boston holds this
anti-scctarian creed. But il Cardinal Nc
Closkey had dedicated the Boston Cathe-
dral the same week, and had uttered Bishop
Haven's words, asking his priests 10 pray
for the election OF Gen. Sherman Gas a
measure of safety" we do not doubt the
land would have hamed with Indignation.
For this reason we regret the introduction
of the topic into the Boston meeting. We
have met no methodist who is not grlevcd
and sorry, and we have talked with some
OF the warmest personal friends of the
President 1t must be apparent that an in
discretion so damaging 10 tho Chief Mag
istrate codld not have been arranged and
sanctioned by Church authority.
One word more. The nomination OF a
President for third term would be a new
aud extraordinary event, which wears, 10
many persona, a semi-reyolutiOnary look
The speech of Bishop Haven would rather
confirm this impression, since he seems 20
contemplate personal government rather
than government OF laws. The reception
given by the public ought to be a warning
that on such a question as this the Office
