val forest to escape the visits of its
dauntless and Jealous itinerants. Such
has been the career of Methodlsm. It's
progress has afforded material for
some of the most inspiriting chapters
of Christian history.
1t is not, however, the Methodism
OF the past, but that of the present
and future, which the General Con-
ference is to consider. If its mem.
bers are the inheritors of glorious
memories, SO much the greater is
their responsibility. The heroic
days of the itineracy are passing
away, so far as future work is con.
cerned, unless the work is carried to
distant continents. The Church at

ping Church is to be reminded of its

thoro'ly provided, but who are now
alienated from every religious organ
ization, are to be taught that they
have souls and that there are those
who care for them. There is work
enough to be done ; there never was
more. Methodism is eminently quail
flied to take her share, and the con
ference will, no doubt, show that she
is ready for the task Cincinnati Co

There are some fellows oyer in
England who can beat us Americans
out of our boots when it comes to
electioneering dodges. If you don't
believe this, all you want to do is 10
read on. A late M. P, who isstyled
"Cochrane, the gallant DundonaId,"
by the London News, got rich in the
navy, and brought home a pile of
prize-money. Everybody knew of
it, and when he ran for Parliament
and said he wouldn't bribe, he didn't
get elected, not by a long shot. In
fact he got very few votes, and on
inquiring who voted for him, sent
for them, declared that they must
not suffer by their political integrity,
and reward their virtues by giving
them each twice as much as they
would have received had their votes
been bought beforehand at the ruling
market price of votes in England.
Soon there was another election, and
the gallant Dundonald was again
candidate on strictly non bribery
platform. The story of his treatment
of his former supporters was out,
however, and consequently he was
elected by an overwhelming major
ity. The voters waited, and he didn't
send for any of them. and at last enc
gave a pretty broad hint that they
expected their double reward. But
all they got was the virtuous remark
that he had rewarded the faithful
few who stood by him while he was
unpopular but that the chosen
fayorite of a constituency had only to
congratulate them all on their COM
mon success.

success

The figures of the expenditures
from the Senate Contingent Fund
illustrate the so called economy of
Congress. Mr.. Voorhees, investiga-
tion of the exodus, which provided
large number of small Southern
Democrats with the means of making
a trip to Washington, and did little
else, cost SCI 800. The Kellogg in
veStigation, which supplied the rare
mass of perjury on which the present
movementfor unseating Mr.. Kellogg
is based. cost 81 900. The investiga-
tion of charges against Senator In
gals, which seem to have fallen to
the ground, cost S6.400. Mr.. Davis's
Committee on the Treasury book
keeping, which spent two years in
vain effort to substantiate various
sensational charges made by him in
Senate speech, cost $500. The Com.
mittee to inquire into and report upon
the Rhode Island clam bake, other
wise known as the Committee on
Civil Service and Retrenchment i'll
Rhode Island, cost almost exactly
the same sum. 1t is saying less than
the whole truth to say that each of
these inquiries was wholly unnecS-
sarv, and that the money spent upon
them was utterly wasted.

The Harrisburg Lesson.

g, The love-feast of Democrats at
Harrisburg has two lessons for Re-
publicans. 1t should teach them,
first, that they cannot safely expect
to win by any division of their ou-
ponents and, second, that they have
no right to be less ready than Demo
Gratis to put aside personal preferences
and ambitions in united effort for the
success of their principles.
The Republicans cannot have great
er reason to expect Democratic divi-
sion at any other time, than they had
to expect fight to the bitter end be-
tween the factions led by Messrs.
Randall and Wallace in Pennsylya-
MIA. The personal ambition of two
strong leaders, who hate each other
bitterly, and who have resorted to
lcxtreme meas ures in order to cripple
each other, was supposed to make
their agreement impossible. Around
each were gathered many actiyo and
Jealous friends, who had staked all
their hopes of political preferment
upon their success in getting control
of the delegation to the National
Convention. 1t was believed by one
of the factions, too, that the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Tilden would surely in
volve the defeat of the party. Yet
these Democrats, leaders and follow
ers, contriyed a peace at short notice,
and accepted a division of powers
and honors, and managed to rouse
the Convention to real enthusiasm
by their unexpected display of har-
mony. 1t is not likely that the Dem.
ocratic party will carry Pennsylvania
in any event. But the hopefulness
engendered by this performance
would go long way toward carrying
oubuful State. Should the Demo
cratic party manage to heal its diff
ferences as satisfactorially in the Ma
tional Convention, it would be harder
to beat by many thousand votes in
States like New York, Connecticut,
New jersey, Ohio or Indiana, than
it has been at any recent election
But it is not only possible that the
Democrats may thus unite the Re
publicanS haye no business to look
for any other result. The Democrats
are going into Convention with the
intention of organizing victory il
they can. 1t is madness. therefore,
| for Republicans to make a weak or
dangerous nomination, relying upon
a Democratic split to elect their can
didate.
1t is the habit of Republicans tC
claim that they have stronger re
gard for political principles than theil
opponents, and are governed less by
indi vidual ambition and greed fol
Office. The history of the two parties
for twenty years past proves that the
claim is not wholly without founda
tion. Yet there are Republicans who
seem to be so intense in their preju.
dices and preferences that they are
willing to see the party and its Drin.
ciples defeated. unless they can have
their way in it's selection Of candi
dates. Surely, the example sof the
Democrats of Pennsylvania may well
be taken to heart by such Republi-
cans. If these Democratic pOliti.
clans, who are commonly said to care
for nothing except the spoils, can
heartily unite to support candidate
who may be expected to ignore one
faction or the other in the distribu-
tion Of patronage, cannot RepuGli
cons put aside their prejudices in g
hearty and Jealous effort for the sue.

WESTERN CROP REPORTS.-The
Western crop reports are not favora.
BILE. In Phillips county, Kansas,the
winter wheat has all gone up. Spring
wheat has been sOwn largely, but
looks feeble from no rain having fall
en- since November. The stock of old
wheat is exhausted. In Shawnee
county there had been welcome
rain, improving the prospects there.
In Cass county, Iowa, the high winds
had blown most of the wheat out of
the ground. Though the acreage is
greater than last year, smaller crop
is expected. The crops in Minnesota
are in good condition and the acreage
has been increased. Very little old
wheat in farmers hands. In Ne
braska the prospects are discouraging
from the want of rain. In Michigan
the winter wheat does not promise
well. Large areas are entirely killed.
Ohio promises to have good crop Of
wheat. Indiana will not make as
good wheat crop as last year,
