Discussing the position of the Del

Discussing the position of the Dem
ocratic party on the great question Of
the currency, the New York Herald says
~ ne harnessing of parts of the team
to different ends of the wagon, to nullify
each others strength by pulling in con-
trary directions, would obstruct the re.
turn to sp. cie payments. If Mr.. Hayes
aud a Republican House are elected there
will be reasonable prospect of efficient
legislation for fulfilling the promise OF
resumption in 1879. The Republican
party is committed to resumption at that
date, and if it should have undivided
control of the next Congress it can easily
make the pledge good if it chooses. 1t
will have every motive to do this If 1t
should have the power. There can be
no great difficulty in devising methods
and means, for prices are already down
to the specie level. and the simple fund
ing Of greenbacks at the rate OF four
millions O .nonth would bring them to
par with gold long before January. 1873.
But the Democratic party. by rejecting
that date and insisting on its repeal, has
precluded itself from supporting meas
ures for fulfilling the pledge which 1t re-
pudiates. That act of reputation is the
capital bluuder of the Democratic can
vass and will do more than all other
causes together to prevent the election OF
its candidates"

TIE depopulation O! France is the
subject of French letter in tie New
York Herald giving tn interesting
sketch Of political and social events.
One important question considered is
the decrease or standstill of the popu-
lation. The Herald commenting on
this subject says:
While most Of the other European
countries double their population in
periods less than q century France at
her present rates of births and deaths
would require over three hundred
wears. It is natural that this state OF
affairs should alarm thoughtful men,
and that political economists should be
earnestly seeking it's causes. The
weakness is not only certain to rstard
the development Of the manufactures
and commerce in France, but may be
felt in future wars. This stunting OF
the growth of the nation numerically
sipgularly contrasts with the marvell-
ous energy ani success Of France in the
PAYMENT Of the German war fine. But
immense revenues will not recompen-
safe for the decline Of population. and
the situation is another illustration OF
the lines

September ga Tribune's Washington
special says: The Attorney.General
SAYS that if the Democratic whites OF the
South insist upon organizing armed
bands to in,inidate the negroe and de-
prive him of his rights. he sees no rea'
son why the negroes should not arm for
their own protection and meet force with
force. Northern Republicans have
heretofore, he says. urged the negroes
to peacefulness and submission, but If
the Bourbops continue in their violent
course, different policy may be adop-
ted. The United States District Attor-
ney of South Carolina, and other per:
sons who were to consult With Taft, did
not arrive here until this morning
Taft left last night for Ohio without
seeing them. The delegation has CON
sequently gone to Philadelphia to confer
personally with the President. They
desire to have troops stationed in at
least three of what are called the up.
country counties, to prevent intin,ida-
ton of the negro vote.

The Chronicle of Saturday evening
relatea tina following:

The Chronicle of Saturday evening
relates the following:
Yesterday afternoon . comical contfo.
versy took place during the session OF
the General State Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church 10 Gold Hill.
which goes to show how hard it is to dis
criminate between the black and white
sheep in religions matters. The Rev. j.
ID. Hammond. Presiding Elder of the
District. presented for adoption the fol
lowing resolution, in relation to the DIS
position of the Methodist Church in
Washoe Citv:
Resolved, That the Trustees of the
church in WasbOe Valley be requested TO
convey, by deed. the church in Washoe
% the School District Trustees for school
purposes only. and on the further con-
di,ion that the house he immedI ately put
in good repair and kept in such repair.
and that the honse shall at any time be
open for religious worship when not
used for school purposes.
He stated that Washoe City had dwin-
died down to nothing. and hough years
ago the church had been built at cost
Of many thousand dollars, when there
was q fiourishi"g population. now the
town could not support pastor nor even
keep the church edifice in repair. For
two wears it had been occupied as n
| schoolhouse. the School Trustees keep
| ing it slightly in repair. 1t could not.
however, survive the coming winter. and
would surely blow down. The School
| Trustees agreed to thoroughly repair it.
| provided it was decided to them for
school purposes. Mr.. Hammond said
that at first sight the proposition looked
| lauehable, viz: In order to keep the
| church in repair. to give it away. But
| he thought that as they could have the
| use of it for religious services it would
be a good bargain.
Mr., Hinkle thought that an absolute
| gift of it ought not to be made, but re-
versionary deed for say twenty-five years
| given.
Mr.. Warren Minis was opposed to part
ing with the ch..rch. 1t had cost great
deal of money, and had fine parsonage
attached. 10 this country the decadence
| of a section of the country was no excuse
! for giving property away. He warned
| the Conference not to be too rash. All
| of Wasboe Valley had glorious future
~
flowing in by way of Reno. and in ten
years from now sill that section would be
more prosperous than ever, and perma-
ueptly 30. Then new church would
have to be built at great cost.
Mr.. Hinkle referred to the resolution
| and inquired what kind of religious wor-
ship was to be allowed. Suppose Nor.
mon preacher should come along and
want to use it. who could prevent him,
and that would be pretty sight.
Mr. Hammond replied. ''Oh. only or
thodox ministers, of course"
Here presiding Bishop Harris coul1
not contain his gravity. He asked how
they were to determine the orthodoxy OF
the preachers?
Mr. Maston said it would be then
necessary to call council to pass on
their orthodoxy, and. anyway, who were
supposed to regular?
This conundrum puzzled the Confer
ence. and the resolution passed as
originally offered.

more deadly in tho long run, because
