We are glad that Mr.. w. III. BARNUM was
again elected chairman of the Democratic
National Committee. There was no reason
assigned for his removal by those who
wished it done except that he was warm
personal friend Of Mr.. THDEN's whilst Mr.
WALLACE occupied the same relation to
General HANCOCK. That was not good
reason. Mr.. TILDEN deserves much at the
hands OF the Democratic party. He is a
power in the land yet, and there would be
no wisdom in offending him.

Conference Of 1881.

An Ecumenical Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church and its
branches will meet in London in Septem-
Der, 1881. This conference has been
talked of in the churches of the denomi-
nation for several years, but no decided
action was taken until last May, when at
the General Conference of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, in Cincinnati, q
plan was drawn up and agreed to 10y the
representatives of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church and the different branches in
the United States. The denomination
numbers over 4, 000,0 900 of actual COM
mulicants, and Methodist population
OF about Is, 100000. There are numer-
GUS branches in Europe and this country,
aud they will oil be represented in this
conference. The members of the con-
ference will number 400, one-half OF
whom will represent British and Cont
mental Methodism, and one-half the
churches in the United States and Can
ada.
As nearly rs possible the conference
will be composed of lay and clerical dele
yates equally.

How the Great DaiIies are Edited.

The Christian Union, edited by Henry
Ward Beecher, has thefollowing explana-
ton of how the daily papers of the coun-
try are edited:
Tie number of great dailies published
in the United States which are uncom-
promising advocates Of total abstinence
is very limited. Drinking is the policy
Of the paper. The liquor bills contracted
by its reporters in the procurement of
news item are paid in its own counting
rooms. 1t treats politicians, officials,
railroad employees, actors and actresses,
showmen, fellow journalists, business
men, and even saloonists themselves.
The paper instructs its local to "Ask
Smith to take q glass of something It
will loose his tongue" IT orders another
10 attend the opening Of the new sample
room and say pleasant word for the
establishment If an account of q recep-
ton is to be written, the city editor sug-
gests particular notice Of the fine wines
that sparkled on the occasion. 1t was a
very fashionable affair, and some of the
best people were there. Through the
policy of the paper the younger members
of the staff are thus obliged not only to
drink themselves, but to indorse the in
diligence of others, and to give respecta-
bility to custom that many of them
acknowledge to be a curse, and of the
destructive evils of which not few once
brilliant newspaper men have become
the pitiable and miserable fruits. With
such principles regnant in the life of the
journalist and expressed in his public
Intermediates utterances which are
listened to attentively by millions of i'm
pressible hearts-is it to be expected that
the secular press should be an instrument
of temperance reform? Can your family
paper, If produced in an atmosphere re.
dolent with whisky, be promotive Of

True Love.

A pretty story is told of the late
Czarina, who, as is well known, was a
most faithful wife, in spite of the long
continued harsh treatment and neglect
of the Car, and wise and devoted
mother. Although strict observer Of
the rules of the Greek Church, she al
ways opposed the tendency to substitute
forms and ascetic ceremonies i'll religion,
in place of true feeling and domestic
everyday duty.
While visiting the Smolnoje Institute
for girls, some years ago, the Empress,
during the examination of the pupils,
suddenly asked, "What is love?"
The young ladies blushed as though
an improper question had been proposed,
became greatly confused, and were silent.
Madame Leontieff, the directress, kneel-
ing, begged leave to state to Her Majesty
that all knowledge of this dangerous sub
ject was prohibited by her, and that, in
all probability, the pupils did not even
know the meaning of the word.
The Czarina frowned. $50 far from
being dangerous subject, madame" she
said, Glove should be the pure main
spring of woman's life; first, love for
her parents then, love for her husband
lastly, love for her children and love for
God always. If your pupils have not
this, they are badly prepared for the du-
ties of life."
The Empress left the Institute, and
the next day, Madame Leontieff was re.
moved as incompetent by the Imperial
Ministry of Education.
In American society, the mention OF
love is too often received 10y young girls
with blush and giggle, which betray
the narrow and vulgar meaning which
they attach to the word. 1t is to them
simply q Irritation with some young man,
which may or may not end in mar.
riage.
1t is the fault of their mothers il they
are not taught to know and respect tina
