to any great interest. Chairman Nor
rison is not likely to prove the wreck
er, otherwise the reformer, he set out
to be. His tariff bill, when it comes,
will be less dangerous than he meant
it should be, and for that reason will
be less enthusiastically supported by
the majority which placed Speaker
Carlisle in the chair and has a prospect
in the reverse ratio to the proclama-
ton. Its opponents, conspicuous
among whom are Judge Kelley and
Ex-Speaker Randall, will fight the bill
from the start. Some believe that the
life is already out of it. That may be
a too sanguine opinion. Should it go
through the House it will not through
the Senate. Morrison himself pleads
the innocent character of his bill,
"such little one, you see, gentle
men," says he, "it's going to hurt no
one" One can say this, however {:
The bill has had the effect of solidify-
ing the Republicans and dividing the
Democrats. Of the protection Demo-
Gratis as many as forty or fifty are
claimed, but Morrison says they don't
exceed twenty-five and that for that
reason his bill will go through the
House. This is too much to admit.
At the least, the bill will be amended.
Bad as it is it is not so much for
what Morrison's bill is as the ends to
which it aims, and to which it will
lead if it becomes law, that it is most
seriously opposed. Morrison himself
don't know what it will produce. He
means a reduction Of revenue, and in
certain cases the cheapening of prices.

An Episode of SUNDAY.

On Sunday morning during the rain
a resident of West Smyrna in an ex-
cited condition, hunted up the Alder
man with the information that a
drunken tramp had his neighbor lin
the Font Hill" dwellingl down and
was standing over him with a black
jack, with murderous intent, and
wanted him to send officers immediate
ly. As represented it looked serious
enough for a posSee, and the Alderman
dispatched with a writ the constable
and two police to arrest the would be
murderer but on reaching the out
skirts of the town they met the two
men walking together coming in town.
The accused proved to be plasterel
whose conduct frightened the wife, the
latter mistaking his plumb-bob for {
black jack and thus hurried to hel
neighbor for an officer. He was
deemed too intoxicated to take care o
himself and was given a night in th'
lock up to sober up. He stated Mon
day morning that he went out to Clay
ton on Saturday evening and remem
bered taking two or three drinks, bu
did not remember anything else tha
transpired, and laid the blame of hi
strange conduct entirely to the Clay
ten whiskey.

The annual session of the Whining

terday and the appointments of the
ministers for the ensuing year are given
elsewhere. The sessions of the Con-
ference from its organization fifteen
years ago have been uniformally pleas
ant, which is more than can be said OF
this in all its particulars. In fact a
leading member of the body in speak
ing of it said it was the ornriest y
session they had ever held. In addi-
tion to an unusual press of business
and several unpleasant trials of char
acter-a feature they have been in tht

bishop showed an arbitrariness tina
was rather trying to some of the
laymen as well as members of the Con
ference. In this he is an exception u
all that have preceded him. The col
lsctions for the missionary and stew
ards funds showed q marked increaS

THIS is the centennial year of Amer
ican Methodism and both the Phila-
delphia and Wilmington Conferences
are making preparations to properly
commemorate the event. The Phila-
delphia Conference dates its organiza-
ton one hundred years ago in Duck
Creek Cross Roads, now Smyrna, and
thus this town from being the place Of
birth of the organization, has a para
mount interest in the commemoration
of the event. The Wilmington Con-
ference seems mainly interested in
commemorating the great historic
event of the erection of Barrett'l
Chapel, and preparations are being
made for large demonstration at tina
place next Fall.

THE Washington correspondent of
the Press gives the following gossip in
a late issue, of the political feeling in
that city:
"Four weeks ago, presidential pol
itics were never SO stagnant within less
than six months of denomination
time. Now there is activity on all
sides the waters are troubled and the
mists blown away by the breeze.
Some things ahead begin to loom up
pretty clearly, although neither party is
yet quite certain where it stands and
which way it is heading The three
most prominent objects on the horizon
are Blaine and Arthur on the one side
and Ti!den on the other. Blaine and
1ilden coming and Arthur going. Ol
the fact there is no question among
observant politicians the only qnes
ton is whether the situation will b,
changed as time passes"
