THE local ministers of the Methodist
Church are discussing the question Of
extending the pastoral term. For
nearly hundred years no minister Of
the Methodist Church could be ap-
pointed to one church for more than
two years in succession. This plan
worked well while the members of the
church were scattered, but as towns
and cities grew up the restriction was
found to be oppressive, and about twen-
iy years ago the limit was extended to
three years. The demand for further
extension has become 80 general, both
on the part Of the ministers and mem
bels, that it is probable the General
Conference, at its next session, will ex.
tend the time to four years.

THE death of DIR. TODD adds another
to the list Of the old and distinguished
citizens of Wheeling who have passed
from our midst this Spring. One by
enc they have been dropping off until
the generation to which he belonged
has almost disappeared. In the case Of
DR.. TODD death was no surprise. His
extremely feeble health had prepared
the community for the announcement
made this morning. He was full of
years, as his life was fall of active labor
and of successful achievement, and re-
srect for his memory will remain long
after his form has mingled with the
dust.

ENCOURAGEMENT TO Crime.
Huntington Adrertiser


The Wheeling REGISTER, some weeks
ago, noted the excessive prevalence OF VIC
lence and murder current in the country
and inquired what was to be done about
it." Recently a communication to that
paper lays more or less blame on the par
doning power. and very properly, Is we
think, berates the people who sign petit
tions for the pardon of criminals, saying
that the foundation for pardOns are prop
erly chargable TO those who thus in discrim-
lnately and thoughtlessly ask for their re-
lease from the punishment fixed by intelli-
CENTURIES and courts. This is strong point.
Personally, We have refused to sign petit
tions for the pardon OF convicts in four or
FIVE cases within as many years last past
because, upon examination, we found the
ronyicts were suffering 'merited punish
ment for crime. But We noticed that men
of greater influence had attached their
LANES 10 these papers before they came to
our notice. Whether or not they took the
trouble to enquire about the crimes com
mitted by those for whom they prayed re-
lief. We have no means of knowing; but We
strongly suspect that they signed them bs-
cause they did not like to appear unsccom-
modating or sympathetic to the friends or
attorneys of the eonvicts who brought the
petitions around.
The REGISTER in referring to the subject
again notes the fact that "a good many
modern newspapers and reporters have
conceived the idea that nothing is Jews
unless it is a crime or misdemeanor," and
deprecates the establishment Of these hosts
of Police Ga,sttes as contributory to crime.
Our readers will recollect that the Adrsr-
tiser inyeighed against this feature OF mod
ern journalism some weeks ago. Any
intelligent reader will note the fact that,
very soon after the publication in the
newspapers of description Of some hor-
rible crime. the same crime is duplicated
in some other locality. Man is an imita-
tive creature and this fact, perhaps, 40
counts for this. Now, therefore, if the de-
tails of crimes, suicides, robberies, etc.,
were suppressed rather than published
broadcast it is highly probable that an i'm
portant point will be made in the suDpres-
sion of crime. We woald mot absolutely
prohibit these publications, as we Realize
the right of local communities
to have the facts published about
such things, but we would limit the pub
lication to the local papefs where the
crime has real interest to the people who
are acquainted with the parties thereto.
But there can be no excuse for paper pub
lished in Huntington, for instance, giving
its readers the shocking details of a rape
or murder or robbery committed in dis
tant community, the parties engaged in
which are total strangers to its readers,
and probably entirely obscure personages
in which nobody anywhere has any in'
terest
