The Democrats of Iowa and Msssis-

that Is the desirability of free trade. In

a tariff with incidental protection, but
absolute free trade. The Vi2ksburt

Yesterday evening o reporter Of the SEN

whose face bore traces of dissipation, and
asked II he did not to buy patent
garter, at the same time producing the de-
vice, which was ingenious enough. The
reporter speedily convinced the old man
that there was no need Of his wares in this
case, as newspaper men wear no stockings,
and would 70 bareiooted did not the con.

saying apologetically, 81 want drink,
young man, and something to eat,n This
refreshing candor pleased the reporter,
and, strange US II may seem; he fished up
first asking him II his business didn' keep
him. The man said that he continued TO
keep himself, but he had been on a spree

fellow, "it's nothing I've been up and
down so onen that / don't mind IT.

ocratic members was held subsequent to an
adjournment of the committee on
rules, at which Representatives Ran
dali, Kenna, Carlisle, Blackburn, Springer,
and others we're present. At this confer
ence while the subject was discussed, par
ticular attention being given to the ques-
ton as to how far the party could discreet
ly proceed with introduction Of dilatory mo-
tons in order to prevent the consideration
of the Mackey-Dibbe contested election
case, il was unanimously agreed that the
minority would be justified in continuing
its present course indefinitely; that
it was an injustice to sndeavor
to force action upon the case in
dispute; that the only desire of the minority
was that the case should be properly inves-
tigated unless that could be obtained. the
responsibility rested alone with the major
ity Shortly after p. m the conference
committee agreed upon resolution propos-
ing that special committee of five men,
bers be appointed by the chair TO inquire
into the authenticity OF the atlidavits sub
mitted in the contested case of Mackey VS..
O'Connor. Representative Blackburn was
directed by the conference committee to
submit the same to the house, and ask that
il be received by the majority in the same
spirit of fairness by which 1t is rendered by
the members of the minority.

THE SOUTHERN METHoDIsTs,


New YopK, May 26.-The Times special
from Nashville, Tennessee, publishes addi'
tonal details of the proceeding in the gen.
eral conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church yesterday.
The report of the committee on revisal,
besides submitting q recommendation that
the word south" be eliminated from the
name of the church, proposed to change
the Methodist Episcopal to the Episcopal
Methodist
DR.. Bennett moved that the action be in
definitely postponed and an animated and
lengthy discussion followed.
Judge j. Walker Tucker made a strong
speech against the change and said that 10
change the name would appear as If the
church was ashamed of her record.
DR.. Miller advocated the change. When
that prefix was stricken out the church
would increase more rapidly in member
ship than ever.
DR.. Anson was not in favor of
lnieiinite postponement but was in
Evor of sending n petition to the
annual conferences. He believed II they
did not they would be defeated. The
line between the two divisions lad not
been obliterated and he believed the change
would do no good.
Judge Whitworth favored the change be-
cause the question on which separation
was based was bad. and he thought II the
name was changed 100000 negroes in the
south would Join the church, but would
not do so us long as 1t held its name.
W. r. Brown. of California, wanted a
change because it was Objectionable to the
western people
DR., Potter opposed change and said the
logic Of the whole argument meant simply
to 20 bodily back into the Methodist Epis-
copal church. They could not obliteratC
Their history without going bodily TO the
other side, and this he was opposed to.
Dr. McFerrin read the following In lieu o
me report of the committee and moved III
adoption
Resolved, That the change of the chang,
