7HF METHODIST PASTORAL TERM


There is a lively discussion gong on among
the Meth0dlsts over the limiting rule which
restricts a pastors term to three yolrs Two
of the denominational papers-o0e at 81. Louis
the other at Prttsburg-have adopted a sensible
plan for gathering mp the opinions Of the
Methodist ministers and laymcn. They sent
out circulars to go men, asking Tor brief re-
pies to be printed. In this way-by getting
the judgment of representative men-these
papers nave practically foreslaled wearisone,
long wndad discussion. The st. Louis paper
Central Chris ian AdUocate-draws its sup
ply Of opinions chiefly from Southern Illinois,
Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas and Southern Iowa.
The PittsbHyg AdrOcate collects from Western
Penn sylvanla, Eastern Ohio and West Virginia.
IL appears by comparison that there Is more
desire for change of rule in tho st. LOUIS
region than in the PIttsburg; and il also ap-
pears that only ABOUT one fourth of some 800
men, mostly pastors, desire a repeal of the
absolute restriction of pastoral service to three
years ut one time IN one place.
Those who favor an extension of the term
to four years OF five are also about one-iourth
OF the whole. The two if they should unite
on IN extension to four years. could probably

But 1t is doubtful whether the progressives
will concur in this compromise. They have
gained courage by the showing of hands. The
friends of the movement in the East have been
astouished by the discovery that 1t has so much
strength in the West; and they are opposed TO
the principle Of an absolute restriction TO any
number of years. They say: awe have bishops
" 10 Judge of the fitness Of men to stay, we have
Getty work TO do which cannot be well done on
" the time-limit system, and we believe that in
"due time the Church will see it as we see it,"
The present movement began in Minnesota
and Vas u wonder in Methodsm, because it
began in an unofficial meeting Of Presiding
Elders-who are additionally the most conser-
vative of men. These two facts have
changed the aspect of the question for
those who favor the repeal of the limit
ing rule. They now say: cit is nearer
than we hoped" AS the matter stands,
then, it is not likely that any action on the
pastoral term will be taken by the General
Conference which meets in Philadelphia next
May; but four or eight years hence the major
ity may have changed sides. Ii one-fourth of
the ministers now favor q radical change, and
If they are as strong in the West AZ they ap-
pear to be, they may double their strength in
few years.

have only excited the hostility of the Others I'

AS the days pass since the shooting OF
James Carey, the informer, two important
points in connection with the affair become
clearer. The British Government really did
try to protect the wretched man whom they
had made use of; and ODonnell, who killed
him, probably acted on his own responsibility.
So far as protection went, Carey seems to
have shown characteristic stubbornness In not
doing as he was advised. He insisted on TAX
ing his family with him to South Africa, In
stead of going alone and letting them follow !;
moreover, he insisted on taking passage in the
Storage. The only disguise he assumed, APP
parently, was to call himself Powell. This
was of course only nominal disguise. The
opinion grows also that O'Donnell belonged to
no Irish organization, but killed Carey on gen.
eral principles. The feelings of malignant joy
over the deed which all classes OF Irish show,
would be more depressing if back of it all stood
an assassination society unappaled 10y the ter
rible fate of the Invincibles who have been
hanged for their crimes.

The boastful man with patent who says
he is determined TO swim the rapids and the
Whirlpool at Niagara, probably only desires
to get free advertisement for himself and his
machine. Sad to say, he seems likely to at

to follow Captain Webb. Still, such effort, to
gain notoriety bring into pleasing prominence

scheme TO annex the island of New-Gnnea
which the English Government has lately re-
fused to sanction. They have just caused to be

they desire at least a protectorate over the
Western Pacific islands. The matter is GER

probably have to give careful attLtion sOon

General Crooks official report of his recent
campaign against the Chricahua Apaches in
Mexico reads like chapter from some
thrilling story OF frontier life. But aside from
the interest of the narrative, the report is
important because in it are set forth fully the
facts which led General Crook to press upon
the Government the peculiar course OF treat
ment which has since been adopted toward
these captured Indians. The commander
points out that these Chircahuas represent
generations of warfare and bloodshed. and
insists that it would be unjust to punish them
for violating code of war which they have
never learned. He certainly makes out a
strong case, in favor of trying his plan at
least. In General Crooks opinion no signif-
canoe attaches to the fact that Il good many
of these Indians have not yet surrendered
themselves. They have no idea OF time, he
says. Certainly they seem to be taking it
easily. 1t Is over two months since they were
defeated, and yet the captive white boy,
Charles McComas, has not been returned.

DROWNING ACCIDENT.

Particulars of tho Death of Canal boy.
The body of John Benhower, aged Is
years, who was drowned in the canal on
the Sixteen Mile Level, east of Nanti.oke,
on Saturday evening last, was received by
his parents at Bainbridge last evening, and
was inferred in the River View cemetery
with the usual ceremonies. This boy was
employed as driver on boats run by
Captain Baker Kurtze, of Bainbridge.
While coming through this level on Satur-
day evening, at a point west of Shickshin-
ney, Captain Kurtze stopped his team for
the purpose of feeding. and allowed the
boats to drift along. Kurtze got out to
feed the team, and told the boy, wi o
was driving to drop from bridge
near by, to the boats as they passe d
under, in order that he might get his sup
per. The boy followed his instruction,
but in letting himself drop he mistook
tho positions of the boats owing to the
darkness and fell into the canal. Kur 20
heard his cries and quickly ran to the
rescue, but owing to the darkness could
not find him. The boy being unable to
swim was drowned. The body was re-
covered afterwards and given over to an
undertaken at Shickshinny, who shipped
it to Bainbridge. In the excitement at the
time of the drowning the man who had
charge of the boats, jumped into the water
to assist in the rescue. The boats struck
an obstruction and we're sunk.

He followed T. E. Powell and seconded
