If these towns vote the same as they did

The Constitutional Amendments are un-
doubtedly both adopted. and if so Davis Is
elected BY plurality of some 600 at least

In regard to an early attack upon Lima,
now clamored for in Chill, the Times of
Valparaiso. the only English paper in the
country. says it is hardly probable that the
army will be ready to march in three
months. 1t is very likely that the warm
weather will come before 1t is ready, and
that nothing will be done before the
autumn or winter. The Peruvians show
no sign of suing for peace nor the Bolivi-
ans Of breaking up the alliance. 1t is
then highly probable that sum equal to
from twenty to thirty millions of silver
dollars will have to be raised in the next
twelve months. If more and more paper
is issued and its depreciation continues. as
it naturally viii, Chill will pay dearly for
Tarapaca and its mineral wealth.

The defeat of Fogg in the Second dis
trict looks IA though the people in that
section had voted against him on account
of his connection with the State Steal. He
ran behind his ticket badly. so that Frye
majority is considerably greater that the
majority for Davis in the district. This
result is one redeemng feature in the
election. so far as the Count-o is con-
cerned. If it should prove that Brown is
defeated as a candidate for senator. or ran
behind his ticket in Somerset. it will be
additional evidence that the State Stealers
are not regarded with favor by many in
side their party. For these small signs
Of condemnation of the great outrage let

General Grant is sound and stalwart on
the political issues of the campaign. In
recent letter to Gen. Arthur he SAYS:
hope you may have rousing meeting
that may awaken the people to the Importance
of keeping the control of the government in
the hands of the republican party until we
can have two national parties, every member of
which can cast his ballot as judgment dictates,
without fear of molestation or ostracism, and
have it honestly counted, parties not differing
in opinion as to whether we are nation, but
as to policy to secure the greatest good to the
greatest number of its citizens. Sincerely
believing that the democratic party as now
constituted, is not a fit party to trust with
the control of the general government, be-
lieve II to be the interest of all sections,
South as well as North, that the republican
party should succeed in November.

The expected election Of bishops agi-
tates the Methodist Episcopal Church. at
the next General Conference at least two
must be elected, but theprobabilityi is that
the number will be five. There are a great
many candidates, some Of whom insist that
for their own part they do not want the
honor ut all; but II they accept it, 1t will
be because forced upon them by their
friends. Nearly all the prominent men Of
the Methodist Church are mentioned in
some way or other in connection with
possible nominations. There will be an
exceedingly lively contest. The Office OF
bishop Is one OF considerable honor, good
salary, extensive travel, and no heavy
amount OF hard work so far as concerns
the actual overseeing Of the work Of the
churches, which is what it was originally
designed fol, Its labors are very light. The
bishops preside at the various conference
meetings, and are supposed to make the
appointments OF ministers to pastoral and
other work, being directed in their selec-
tons by the Spirit OF God. In olden times
this was to o great extent the practice in
regard to appointments. Now, however,
these matters arc arranged by the leading
churches and pastors long before the con-
ierences meet and selections are made for
all except the poorest churches and the
most inferior preachers.
