IG eneraI Convention.

BosToN. October 5.-At the meeting
of the Episcopal General Convention to-
day Rev. DR.. De Koven, Of Wisconsin,
offered the following resolution in behalf
of the diocese OF WlscOnsin:
ResolUed, That the House of Bishops
concurring, q constitutional conmIs-
sion be appointed, consisting of seven
bishops. seven presbyters and seven lay.
men, to consider the question of Il change
in the legal title Of the church, and also
to consider what other amendments, II
sny. should be- made in tue constitution
Of the church at the beginning OF the en-
tering Of the second century OF i;s growth,
upon which it is about TO enter and that
they be asked 10 print and c.rculste their
report At least one month before the
meeting Of the next convention.
DR.. Dekoven moved 10 have this reso-
luton referred 10 the Committee on
Amendments 10 the C"nst'tutIon. de
said tina. there were two things in the
memorial. First, regarding the change
of the name of the church, and secot q
the constitutional commission, which was
the most important portion OF the paper.
The motion OF Dekoven prevailed after
the motion TO lsy on the table was re-
jecLed.
The Canon Committee on Constitution
al Amendments reported in favor OF the
Limitation OF the bishops OF TeIss, Gala
fornis and Western and Northern Texas,
and recommended the house TO rstliy
the amendment providing .or the relief
Of bishoprIcs which are too large. Before
the convention could sct II Wss SIa'ed
that MarylsI had not received q proper
legal notice. This caused long dis
cussion Of what was proper ro.ice.
Rev. Dr.. Adams was opposed 10 the
Amendment. Recess.

assume larger proportions to the proper
ty of the world than it hsd done before.
This would afford TO the holders OF sll
kinds of maturing obligations the rlght
to demand and receive greater value
than was given when the indebtedness
was incurred, thereby adding greatly
to the burden of the debtor class and In
creasing the wealth of the rich at the
expenses of the poorer class.
Fourth That, with the enormous
amount of irredeemsble paper money
now in circulation, the general resumP-
tion of specie payments, even on the pres
ent basis of coin, must cause such con-
traction OF the medium of exchange as 10
produce very serious shrlnkage IN the
price value of all kinds of property, and
that the further contraction OF the me
dunn OF exchange which must result from
the demonetizstlon OF silver will so ag-
grsvste and intensity this decline In
values that bankruptcy aud Reputation
must Inevitably follow.
= If the evils above pointed out do not
follow denomination, it will be because
another evil nearly as great will come to
their stead, viz: that paper money will
take the place of the discarded coin and
the world will launch out into an era OF
irredeemsble paper money. Resumption,
which might now be difficult, would then
be impossible, except through the general
ruin which sooner or later must come to
the world as the natural outgrowth and
the inevitable result of such course.
Without the restoration of silver to
our currency, resumption is impossible,
and reputation probable. Unless Con-
gress is willfully, yea, criminally, blind
to the interests of the people, not only
will it remonetize silver, but it will re-
peal the resumption act. The natural
laws of trade are carrying US rapidly
enough to coin basis. The shrinkage
OF values has been quite as fast us the
people are prepared for. The smashing
OF banks and the crashing of public and
private enterprises may be music IN the
ears of the creditor class, but nine.tenths
of the people hear in them nothing but

Meeting of Freight Represenla.ive.

New YORK, October Sit is said that
the meeting OF the railroad freight men
to-day was lively in character and some.
times very demOnstratlve. 1t appears
that the representatives OF the Grand
Trunk railroad OF Canada are holding
out against the proposed schedule OF east
bound freights, ana are not satisfied with
the existing arrangements concerning
the transportation OF live stock. Othcers
from number of western railroads
arrived during the night and on the
early morning trains The corridors OF
the hotel were filled with groups OF rail-
road men who, from their eager CONVEX
,ation, seemed to Lave very important
business on hand. They were all very
reticent when questioned as to the OBJ
iects OF the meeting, and refused
sll information. The presidents of the
trunk lines were assembled IN
the same hotel, and when the meeting OF
the freight representatives adjourned,
word WAS received from Col. Scott that
nothing OF any Importance TO the public
had been done. Responsible railroad
men say that although an advance OF five
cents will be made on certain clsssitica-
tions OF freight, decline of five cents
wi take place on other clsssifcstlons,
which will make the aggregate receipts
from freight about the same as hereto
tore. 1t is intended TO abolish the spe-
cial class, EN- mbodying all goods heretofore
classed under this head in the grade
known as the fourth class, the rates OF
which are 10 be lowered 10 meet the
change. Many articles heretofore carried
fourth class will be transferred TO the
third and second, and SO on till the
whole line is re.srrsnged.
New YORK, October 5.-There was no
meeting of the freight agents this morn
il 9 or evening, although the Presidents
of the trunk lines were in session. The
Committees consisting OF Maj. j. +.
Simpson, Of the Vandslis railroad, j. \.
Mccullough, of the Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne and Chicago, Lucien Hill and
John Newell, of the Lake Shore, and
VIM. II. Perry and w. X. Muir, Of the
Canada Southern were appointed to con-
fer with the President on general matters.
Though the Grand Trunk had joined IN
the com mbination with the other trunk
lines the meeting will be resumed TO-
morrow, and at which time the fnal ar
rangements are expected TO be made, and

OHIO.

The Ohio election takes place next
Tuesday. At the State elections which
have taken place in Ohio since 1862, the
Democrats have carried the State but
twice; electing Gov. ALLEN in 1873 by
81 msjority, and in the "tidsl wave"
year of 1874, carrying their State ticket
by majority OF 1900. In 1875 HAYES
was chosen Governor by 5,544 majority;
IN October 1876 the Republicans carried
the State by 1907, and in the November
following HAYES majority for President
was 5,7S4. In the last Legislature the
Republicans mad q majority OF 22 on
Joint ballot, but in the preceding one,
elected in 1878, the Democrats had a
small majority, and reelected Senator
THURMAN to the United States Senate.
1t will be seen from this that the State is
close debstable ground, with the odds in
favor of the Republicans.
In addition to this, further uncertainty
as to results is caused by the canvass
made on behalf of tickets put up by the
Workingmen and by the Greenbsckers
The number of votes that will be polled
for these tickets Is al unknown quantity.
and from which party they will most
largely be drawn is also problem. To
us, however, it has looked from the be-
ginning that the Democrats would GER
talnly elect their Governor, but that the
Legislature would be pretty close.
