A SIDE-LIGHF ON TIE WHITAKER
CASE

The cadets at West Point have been
bitterly denounced for having drawn the
color-line, and for having subjected Whit
taker to social prescription. Some fervent
negrophiles have even gone so far as to
propose that the Academy should be abol-
ished unless all race prejudice can be
eliminated from its conduct. Now yester-
day this dispatch came over the wires
Cincinnati, May 20th.-After heated
debate the NJ. E. Conference, by vote
of 229 to l39, refused to elect Bishop
''of African descent, There was much
feeling, and threats to withdraw from
" the Conference on the part of some
''colored delegates" Let us remember
that the NJ. f. Conference is composed,
not of raw and foolish boys, destitute of
Judgment or convictions, and therefore
liable to ape the weaknesses of their seniors,
but of grave and reverend ministers of the
gospel, whose peculiar function it is to
educate men In doctrines of fraternity,
humility, love and equality. The Christian
religion is supposed to be religion which
recognizes no race or social distinctions !;
which offers to every human being the
same free salvation which lavishes
its instruction and its consolation upon
all the sons of men, as regardless of
their color or condition as the rain
of heaven which falls with equal be-
nightly upon the just and the unjust. 1.
is the special duty of the members Of such

raE PRESIDENTIAL BALL.


The Presidential ball is rolling, and the
election OF delegates to the National Con-
vention proceeds apace. But it is still i'm
possible to make any confident forecast.
Even should Grant carry Illinois it viii not
secure him the nomination. He is ahead
thus far, but when all the delegates are
elected, even with the most liberal allow
ances, it appears that he will lack some
sixty votes to nominate him on the first
ballot, and these sixty votes do not seem
attainable anywhere. As to the Democrats,
Tilden has the inside track. He will be in
a position to make the nomination at Gin
cinnati, and if he has an ambition to NOM
mate any other man than Samuel J. Tilden
we shall be greatly surprised. Neverthe-
less it is possible that he may decide to give
his strength to one of his friends, and if he
does there is no man more likely to inherit
his mantle than Judge Field, Judging from
present indications.

LORD BEAC0NSFIELD RALLIES HI
FORCES

Lord Beaconsfeld is certainly plucky
leader. Already he has returned to the
field, and at meeting of the heads of the
Conservative party he made speech hold
ing out strong hopes of popular reaction,
referring caustically to the mistakes made
by the Liberal Government, sounding the
keynote for an old-fashioned assault upon
the dangerous and disorganizing policy
of their antagonists, and announcing his own
thorough ability and readiness to lead the
party in Parliament. As to the talk of
reaction, it is doubtless premature, but it
is nevertheless in Beaconsfeld's part to
Introduce the idea. He is crafty and
indomitable fighter, and he is certain to
miss no opportunity of injuring his op-
ponents. The relations between himself
and Gladstone are less known on his side
than ON the other. 1t has been transparent
for years that Gladstone hates him very
much as devout Medieval Christian may
have been supposed to hate the
Devil Beaconsfeld never allows his
innermost feelings to betray themselves,
but heattacks his great antagonist with saw
age ferocity whenever he gets the chance,
and their respective followers partake of the
bitterness believed to exist between the
leaders. The coming struggle in Parlia-
ment will doubtless be very interesting
one, and there are indications that the new
Governmental have trouble to encounter.
Mr.. Fawcett's unfortunate blunder in
charging the late Government with an of
tense it did not commit, and the necessity
for a grudging retraction thus caused, to-
gether with Gladstone's apology to Austria,
have given rather awkward air to the
Liberal Inauguration, and have made many
cautious people fear that the new Govern
ment might be too hasty for the good of
the country. OF course Gladstone's policy
has yet to be developed, and it cannot be
doubted that he will undertake some seri-
Gus, if not strenuous, measures. But the
Liberals will have to fight their way into
prominence, and they have not yet tested
the power for mischief of the Opposition.

Conference to let their light SO shine be-

Conference to let their light so shine be-
fore men that all should recognize their
credentials. 1t is incumbent ON them as
it is not incumbent upon laymen, to set
an example of charity, magnanimity, cath
olicity of sympathy, freedom from degrad-
ing and injurious prejudices. Yet when
the crucial test is applied to them, how
do they meet it? Alas that we should
have to say SO, but they meet it even as
the white cadets met it. By vote of 229
to 1879 they refused to elect Bishop OF
&c african descent" we wonder if the
delegates who thus drew the color-line
before the throne of God remembered, or
knew, how much the Christian religion
owes to Africa There was a time in its
history when African Bishops controlled
its destinies when they commended against
principalities and powers; when the
vitalizing heat of the whole system
came mainly from Africa. And now, in
this boosted and boastful age of sham
civilization, an American Church Confer
ence refuses to elect an African Bishop, be-
cause his skin is dark and not fair. Let US
say no more about the cadets at West
Point. Let us admit frankly that color
phobia exists, and dominates Northern as
well as Southern society. Let us confess
that all the professions of sympathy with
the negroes are political cant, and that
there is an insurmountable barrier between
the races; barrier whose strength and
hight give the exact measure of our sur
viving barbarism. For really no other
course seems possible any longer. The M.
E. Conference stands for as good intellect
ual and other development as we can show.
1t has obligations in the direction of lib
eralism which are not imposed upon secu-
ular society, and yet it cannot avoid giving
to the world pronounced example of race
prejudice and intolerance. Let us hope
that this episode will at least prevent the
casting of more stones at the poor, igno-
rant, thoughtless West Point cadets, and
that it may promote the kind of introspec-
ton which sometimes leads to the detec-
ton and elimination of unsupported yet be-
setting sins.

A CURIOUS PERPLEXIrY.

The experts in handwriting have very
tough job on hand at Washington just
now, in the mysterious letter which was
received by Springer, apropos of the DON
nelly contest. The popularity about this
letter is that the handwriting closely re-
sembles that of several people. 1t is very
like the writing of Finley, of his clerk, of
King of Minnesota, and lastly of Springer
himself. 1t will be remembered that
Springer attributed it to Finley, Donnelly
to King, and now some people are inclined
to think that Springer may have written it
himself. This puzzle serves to show that
it is by no means easy to trace handwrit-
ing, and that the conclusions of experts
upon the identity of handwriting may be
entirely erroneous, no matter how careful
their researches. There are at present
many thousands, or hundreds of thousands
of people, who write bold round, COM
mercial hand, having a strong general re-
semblance. Those who are taught in the
modern schools perhaps acquire less indi-
viduality than was common of old, and this
may be one cause of the embarrassment
which the Washington letter is creating
