A Great Methodist Council.
THE TOPICS TO BE DISCUSSED.

The Philadelphia Record says an impor.
tant movement is on foot looking to the con
vening of the Ecumenical Council or Con.
ference of Methodists from all parts of the
world, to be held in the United States
sometime next year. This idea was first
mooted at the Methodist Episcopal Confer
ence held in Baltimore in May, 1876, when
a committee was appointed by the board OF
bishops to take it into consideration. This
body, of which Right Rev. Bishop Simpson
Is chairman, has been in correspondence
With representatives of the American Yves.
cyan Church, the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, the Methodist Protestant
Church, the Evangelical Association,
the Methodist and Methodist Episcopal
Churches of Canada, the Wesleyan Metho-
dists Of England, and other bodies in every
quarter of the world. Favorable replies
having been received from one and all OF
these bodies.
Bishop Simpson has issued request for a
meeting of the committee, TO be held in
Cincinnati ON May 6, to prepare call for
the council, Every recognized orgauiga-
tion of Methodists will be invited to send
its representatives 1t is expected that the
conference will represent 20000,000 Meth
odists in all parts of Chistendom, as well as
in Asia and Africa.
Its formal object will beTte discuss "top.
les relating to the position, work and re.
sponsibility of Methodism for the evangeli.
cation" The discussion will not be limit.
ed to a mere interchange of views on gem
eral subjects, but will embrace proposed

Silver and the Public Debt.

The proposition Of Mr.. Weaver (in
the lower house Of Congress- is not a
bad one. Ii is IN substance that all cur
rency-whether metallic or paper
necessary for the use of the people shall
be issued and controlled by government
and not by banks, and shall be the only
legal tender, and that the debt matur-
ing in 1881, in amount 1892, 600, 900
shall not be refunded, but paid off by an
increased coinage Of silver dollars.
And this suggests the enquiry why Con-
gress has not taken advantage Of the
depreciation in silver and coined it with
a view to paying Off the national debt at
the standard Of 4l25 grains in the dol
lar. 1t will not be denied that Congress
has this power under the refunding act
which authorized the issue of new bonds
in place Of the old ones with the
pledge written directly on their face
that they were payable Sin coin,
and that meant siper as well a.
gold. A debtor has right Il
discharge his obligations in such lega
tenders as he prefers. At the time 0
the creation Of the debt, the silver dol
lar Of ll2i grains was the standard
and the bond holder had no equitable 0
legal right to demand payment other
wise than according to the expires
terms Of the law and the bond unde
which they were issued Two billion
Of the public debt remain unpaid. tn
question Of the right Of the people +
pay according to their contract, ex
pressed in the law and written on tn
face Of the obligations themselves is

the bidding Of politicians and the tool
and agents of the privileged classes. !
great deal has been lost, but Il grea
deal remains to be saved, and there ar
champions Of the people who will steI
forward, prepared to assert thci
rights.
