The Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
one OF the largest bodies of protesting chris
tians in the United States, will meet in gen.
eral conferences on Wednesday, the Sd of
May next, in the city of Nashville. There
will be full attendance of delegates, repre-
senting all the churches, comprising more
than 100000 COMMITMENTS, or directly
about 100000 men, women and children.
Already preparations have been made for
the comfort OF the delegates by the hospita-
BILE people of our State capital. 1t is gener-
ally believed that this will exceed in inter-
est any previous general conference of the
church, as the questions to be brought up
for discussion are of unusual interest. Among
them is the feasibility of uniting the now sep
arated members of the Methodist family upon
a basis of mutual goodwill and respect, and
for the better advancement OF the work they
all have IN hand and at heart. This is a
consum alton most devouuy to be wished.
Divisions in any branch of the christian
church do not speak well for the soundness
OF doctrine or the love between the brethren
OF the branches which encourage and main
tain it. Peace ia a necessary result of the
christian life; without unity it cannot really
exist. The Methcdis;s OF the South, to oh
tain such boon, can afford to meet their
brethren Of the North on terms of equality
and clasp hand; over the chasm which sepa-
rated them in 1914. The politicians, the
mere worldliDgs of the country. have done
this, aud surely what they could do good
christians ought to be able and willing to dc.

BADGERS WEALTH.
Important Lawsuit that Has Some Ro-
nance A bout II.

New YORK, April 2o.--Judge Finch, of
the Court of Appeals, has just decided an
important case that mas some romance
about it. Jacob Badger, wealthy retail
merchant of this city, died suddenly in
Brooklyn two years ago. His friends thought
him bachelor, but after his death Mary
J. Badger claimed to be his widow,
saying that for thirty five years she had
lived with him as his wife, had borne him
a child, and had been recognized as his wife.
She claims that Badger, who was misery,
rather than keep up an establishment suit
able to his business position, preferred to
be known as John Baker in his domestic
life, and lived with her in humble quarters
in Brooklyn. She sued for dover interest,
which amounted to $4,000 in real estate and
$50, 900 in personal property. Badger left
no will. Mary J. Badgers suit was contested
by Alfred Badger, brother, and sisters,
nephews and nieces of Jacob Badger, who
claimed that his relation with Mary J. had
been illicit. Justice Pratt decided that she
was not his wife. The general term affirmed
the judgment, but the Court of Appeals now
sets the judgment aside and orders new
trial.

A SOLUTION OF the question OF home rule
for Ireland ia now under advisement and
consideration BY the Gladstone ministry. Ii
is no other than the giving parliament to
each of the four provinces. The Liverpool
Mercury declares that this plan has taken
practicsl shape, and that pilot balloons have
been sent out 10 discover which way the
wind blows in the Conservative region, and
enough has been said to prove that the idea
is not view ed with disfavor among independ-
ent members of the opposition. From the
Liberal point of view this proposition will
be defended upon the authority OF Lord Rus
sell, who was str5ugly III favor OF ench set
Element Of the Irish difficulty. II will be JUS
titled on the ground that the provincial diets
will have no authority against the central
government or in opposition to the Imperial
Parliament and that they will be strictly
confined to local legislation, which, If it take
the form OF encoursgins diversified industries,
including all kinds OF manufactures, will no
doubt be acceptable TO the people. But
ultimately the greater and better measure of
geneous people will have to be granted.
Until that is done, agitation against English
authority will continue Blu, the agitation
and discussion of this provincial parliament
scheme i, good augury. Enslishmen are
at last getting down 10 the root Of all the
trouble aud discomfort in Ireland-the want
of national legislature.
