The Board of Bishops, in the Methodist Cen
eral Conference, on Monday expressed unani-
nous Judgment against the wisdom u liking an
Episcopal residence at this time in either
Europe India or Africa. But from the dis
cussion in the conference it would seem that the
Judgment of the bishops will be overruled To
elect bishops to fill certain residences chosen
in advance is new thing in the conference, ana
is causing much difference of opinion. The
bishops insisted that three new bishops would
be enough to meet the demand for additional
supervision but the Committee on Epscopacy
of the Conference yesterday recommended the
election of five bishops. That probably means
two for foreign work. The great interest III
this question of choosing bishops grows out OF
the immense power placed in their hands. At
an annual conference a bishop has the sole
power to make the appointments of ministers,
sending them wherever he pleases in his DIS
trict.
There seems to be no end to the exhibition of
Democratic folly in the present House of Repre-
sentatives. Notwithstanding the fact that the
sixth month of the session is nearly half gone,
and the House has passed only six of the thir-
teen regular appropriation bills, only one of
which has become q law, further time is to be
wasted in a vain and fruitless tariff discussion.
The industrial interests of the country are again
threatened by the Hewitt tariff bill introduced
on Monday. 1t contains most of the obnoxious
features of the Morrison bill, and in some re-
spects is even more Objectionable. 1t was long
ago understood that Mr. Hewitt would intro
duce bill designed simply to remove certain
obscurities and improve the administration OF
the customs service. He has departed alto
cether from that purpose, and even again under
taken the horizontal scheme of reduction already
condemned by the House. What possible gain
can there be in taking up the time OF a session
almost barren of legislation of any sort in dis
cussing such bill 2 1t would be much more
sensible for the tariff Reformers to issue an
address to their constituents, as they were talk
ing of doing yesterday, and then drop the sub
iect. That would permit the consideration OF

Property-owners on Broadway will breathe
easier now that the Governor has vetoed the
Arcade Railway bill. But their alarm over pos

given place to equal concern over the proposed

and avenue in the city with horse railroads, but
such Disagreement now seems probable Judging
from the applications for franchises already
made TO the Aldermen.

circles as The Starry-Eyed Goddess of Reform, has
taken to drink. taken to it with all the unreserve
of a generous nature. Ever since the defeat of the

been at it. Her telephone keeps ringing day and

The Troy Press remarks that free trade is an i'm
possibility in this generation and this is the gen.
Grafton in and for which we work. Moreover, We
think this good year for the Democrats to leave
the tariff alone" 1t will be remembered that the
New-York State Democratic Convention of last year
left the tariff so severely "alone" that the platform
which 1t adopted was absolutely destitute Of
tariff plank. We wonder if The Press wants the
National Democratic Convention to make similar
exhibition of cowardice and incapacty.
1t looks as though some Democratic politicians or
lobbyists had strong grievance against the tele-
graph company that put the following dispatch
into tho hands of Governor Cleveland recently:
/" All of the Democrats In our temperance organi-
cation favor the approval of - bill. Your tee-
gram received. / will attend to your request al
fast as possible. Must have more money.

sumption is that the intelligent operator mixed up
two dispatches one of which was addressed to the
Governor and the other of which was not The
