conference refused to consider the
question of allowing women to
preach. Yet probably four-ffths of
the active workers in the church are
women, the largest givers are women
and but for the woman the whole
society would go to pieces. Why,
last winter Milwaukee Methodist
church sent to Michigan for wom-
an to come and preach some life in
to the members
Sunday Telegraph: Senator John
Sherman feels that he is in no dan
ger of being nominated for presi
dent, but he thinks Brother Bill
the general, is in imminent danger;
and probably he is about right. AT
least he is right if the republican
party is ready to do a handsome
thing for itself, the country and ex
soldiers, who would be better pleas
ed TO see General Sherman on the
course than any other man in either
party.
Same: The farce Of trying
Wheeler, who murdered Print Mat
thews, at Hezleharst, Copiah county,
last fall, because he PERSISTED in vot-
ing as his conscience dictated, ended
last Wednesday. The jury found
him not guilty. Wheeler says he
killed him, and dozen witnesses
swore that they saw the deed done,
but the jury, made up of those who
are glad Mathews is out of the way,
would not be mean enough to find
guilty the man who had been good
enough to get a political obstacle
out of their road.
Madison Democrat: The Mime
sofa people rejoice that the debts of
the Northwestern Car Co. are most
ly owed to eastern creditors. The
selfish rascals.
Same: The presidential possibili-
ties do not worry Mr.. Robert Lin
coin in the least He has put on an
old suit of clothes and gone off fish
ing with Gen. Sheridan up to San
dusky
Same: Blaine came to Chicago
to manage his own canvass. 1t is
said that he has engaged rooms and
will bring along a select body guard.
The eager candidate will put forth
all his powers of personal magnet
ism. There is to be no sending
John Alden to woo the Priscilla of
q nomination this time.
Same: Once in a while CLEAN
of good luck shoots athwart the path
of even a democratic editor. Peter
Rupp, the editor of the Eau Claire
Democrat falls heir to 100000 by
the death of a rich uncle in New
York. 1t is a pity that there are
not enough of that sort of uncles to
"go around" among the whole fra
ternity of those apostles of righte-
BUSINESS.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat: To all
editors engaged in figuring out le-
suits of ballots at Chicago: Dearly
Beloved Brethren-From January to
June, 1880, we nominated Grant on
the first ballot at Chicago every day,
with nearly so votes to spare. When
the convention met we found out
that there was blunder somewhere.
Moral. lie counts best who counts
last.
Chicago Times: That unsepul'
chered cadaver, that body of historic
putrefaction without bowels, that
agglomeration of "ringed, streaked
and speckled" politicians calling
themselves the Democrat party,
have once more performed upon
themselves the interesting ceremony
of isembowelment. In o.her words
if so it may be said of political
ielly-fsh that, during a quarter OF q
century, has not manifested the pos
session of head-the decapitatior
of the Tariff Reduction bill is an
other decapitation of the headles'
Democratic mollusk.
