yc.svop,us shs Question OF Lay Represents
''- tion FOR -Four Year,.

1919 teOn FOR -Four roeres
Tho question of the equalization of
representation, which, after the election
of bishops, has attracted the greatest
attention In the Methodist conference,
oamc up for consideration Saturday and
was postponed for four years. Chairman
Bhinklc, . lay delegate from Kentucky,
who has been indefatigable In working Tor
greater justice to laymen, presented the
rcnort OF his committee recommending In
annual conferences one layman for every
six pastoral charges, with all the rights OF
ministerial delegates, except upon ques.
tions affecting ministers. The report
found but little support, laymen opposing
Il because 1t did not give them enough b and
the ministers because It conceded too
much. Revs. A. j. Kynett and I. I.
Neely. of Philadelphia ; l.. G. Queal, OF
Central New York Hatfield, Of Chicago,
and Benson, of Wisconsin, spoke against,
AZ did also Laymen J. w. Roberts, Of
Kansas, and o. Lunt, of Illinois. Chair
man Shinkel was supported in it's defense
BY Rev. NJ. ID. @. Crawford, Of New York,
but by greet majority the report was
rejected.
The committee also recommended that
in general conference the representation OF
ministerial and lay delegates be equal.
DR.. Buckley vigorously attacked tho pro
posed equalization, which was as stoutl,
advocated by Judge Reynolds and Oliver
Hoyt, Of New York Ex-Governor
Evans, of Colorado p. G.. Gillett, o.
Illinois, and Rsvs. A. B. Leonard, o
Cincinnati, aud DR.. Paxson, Of Philadel
phia. Though the lanmen had by far th
best of the argument, the minister
rallied in behalf of their privileges
and by o vote Of III to 140 voted to post
pone the matter until the next genera
conference.
The committee on entertainment recon-
mended the Peoples church. Of Boston,
as the place of meeting Of the conference
of 1888 and Rev. J. NJ. Hamilton, tn,
pastor of the church, whose advanced
opinions have more than once startled hi
fellow delegates, promised hearty vel
come. This report was adopted.

POINTS OF DIFFERENCE.

The London Standard, as interpreter of
American politics for its readers, has the fol-
lowing to say of the convention at Chicago
and the issues of the ensuing campaign;
''At no time, perhaps, within the history of
America has it been less possible to forecast
the result at Chicago. The voting will be
simply triumph of men, not a victory for
measures. Whatever the result, there are no
great issues at stake. 1t is difficult to say
wherein the Democratic and Republican plat
forms differ. The chief importance of the
present convention consists in deciding how
far the choice of candidates can be influenced
bv the Irish faction in favor of stirring up i'll
blood between England and America"
Passing over the fact that the outcome of
the two preceding conventions of the Repub
lican party was fully as doubtful, the re-
mainder Of the Standards paragraph deserves
attention. As a popular purveyor of
news and political intelligence from all
parts of the world, the Standard owes
it to its patrons and readers to secure and
present correct news. Especially is this de-
manded in editorial comment upon the worlds
affairs. No man nor paper should presume to
pass upon and criticise that which is not
thoroughly understood. Let it be conceded
that the struggle at Chicago is not between
measures but between men, it does not follow
as consequence that the Republican and
Democratic parties are not divided by serious
and well-defned difference in policy. To the
Standard unacquainted with the natural
deceitfulness of the Democratic party, it may
appear paradoxical that its platform should be
worded essentially the same as that of the
Republican party; and did not American vot-
ers understand American politics better than
does the Standard, they would have little
choice at the election in November next, ex-
cept so far as the character of the candidates
might attract or repel them.
For the information of the Standard, and
the British press in general, to whom American
politics appears to be as unintelligible as Chi
nese puzzle, it may be stated as an established

Rurdette,s courtship and Marriage.

DECATUR (Iit- hepuDllCdn
Carrie Burdette, wife of Robert J. Burdette
died at Ardmore, Pa, Monday She was an
invalid from her marriage, and the great bumor
ist cared for her as he would babe, giving her
every possible comfort Mrs. Burdette was the
daughter of Auren Garrett, of Peoria, and was
married to Burdette some fifteen years ago
Her father was opposed to Bob, and he made the
course of true love of the young couple anything
but smooth Bob was clerk in the post-office
at that time, and Carrie was a beautiful young
lady, but with will OF her own that more than
matched that of her father
One day the old man commanded her to dis
card Bob. She refused and a violent alteration
ensued. Carrie had an underlined trouble with
her heart that this precipitated. She was
stricken down with spasm. They sent for Bob
and he found her pale and lifeless on the sofa.
Here she managed to express a wish that they
might be married before she died, and a clergy
man was sent for. The marriage of the great
humorist was celebrated amid tears and signs,
the orange blossoms absent and only the pallor
of dying face looking out from the heap of
pillows. Strange to say she Immediately began
to recover and she soon regained her former
strength. With it, however, was an unaccount-
able malady.

New York Evening Post.
The Grand Army of the Republic has been
very busy for months past sending petitions to
Congress in support Of pension, bounty. and
back pay legislation We have already provided
pensions and back pay for everybody who was
hurt in any way while in the army There re-
main now only two things to do. One is to pen
sion everybody who ever served in the army,
and who has grown older and less active since
he left it; the other is to pension everybody who
would have liked to serve in the army, but was
prevented by physical disability or the pressure
of private business, or who sent substitute who
was killed, or has since died After the public
has been familiarized for a while with
all this, doubtless proposal to pension every
American citizen not criminal, will be received
with a certain amount of favor. Much of the
existing prejudice against pensioning is due to
the fact that in monarchical countries they were
in times past bestowed on the privileged few. 1t
would rapidly die out, if the pensioning system
were, so to speak democratzed, and every citi-
zen got his pension as of right on attaining his
twenty-frst birthday. Moreover this is really
the only satisfactory way of disposing Of the sur

PREJUDICE dies hard. While Hon. John R.
Lynch, colored, was presiding over a great
convention of the leading men of the nation,
assembled to choose a candidate for the high
Office of President, the Orangeburg South
Carolina, Democrat gave utterance to its
"honest belief" that four-ffths of the white
people of that State are opposed to being taxed
to educate the negroes, and that at no distant
day they will demand the repeal of the law.

his time by getting an education.

fact that Democratic platform writers do not
always say what they mean. During the past
twenty years national and State Democratic
platforms have been essentially the same in
appearance as the Republican, but the intelli-
gence of our voters has been such that all the
sophistry and insincerity have been exposed
and the party Of chronic shams
defeated. The July platform at
Chicago will undoubtedly be closely
modelled after that adopted yesterday;
the language and sentiment will be counter
feited as nearly as possible, leaving still some
technical loop-holes of escape. This will be
especially true of the paragraph on the tariff
question.
The Democratic party, the Standard should
understand, is essentially free trade in senti-
ment the tendency is all that way, and
majority of that party is determined to intro
duce the principle of free trade as soon
as the power is given them. On the con-
trary, the Republican party believes in
placing American industries and American
worlingmen first and foremost. 1t believes
in levying tariff not with the revenue idea
only, but the duties shall be so levied as to
afford security to our diversified industries
and protection to the rights and wages of the
laborer. The Republican idea on this and
other questions was so well understood that
the Standard may be excused in declaring
that the fight at Chicago is between men and
not over measures. The principles of the
Republican party have stood too long to be
used as shuttlecock in every convention
that may assemble.
As for the Standards gratuitous declaration
that F'the Irish faction is in favor of stirring
up i'll blood between England and America, y
it is too absurd to deserve dignifed denial.
While there are thousands of Irish born
Americans who sympathize with their fellow
countrymen in their efforts to secure deserved
concessions from the government under which
they are compelled to live, few, if any, of
them are so lost to their duties as
Americans as to attempt to make the
cause of Ireland an issue here. The
harm that comes to England through
Irishmen who have found home in the
United States has been greatly exaggerated,
and investigation would undoubtedly prove
that more of it came from that hot-bed Of
communism, the capital city of France. 1t is
work Of supererogation, however, so far as
American readers are concerned, to correct the
Standards erroneous views of our public
affairs, doubtless the result of an inadequate
idea of Democratic duplicity when it comes to
writing platforms and making speeches.

A AFEw years ago the Office of sheriff of the
county Of Philadelphia was estimated to be
worth to the occupant from fifty to seventy five
thousand dollars per year. Under the new
Constitution ordering that salaries instead Of
fees should be paid to public officers, the an
npal salary of the sheriff of Philadelphia was
fixed at $4,000. Beginning about that time
a gradual falling off in the amount of sheliff's
fees was noted until the report for the year
1888 shows that only So, 75O in fees was re-
ceived at the office. Philadelphians are inno-
