CURRENT COMMENT.

Albany Journal: Representative Mil
lard's bill to pension ex-Presidents ought
to be passed. 1t is fair and just.
Philadelphia Times: Mr.. Cleveland
will doubtless remember the lesson OF
history, that a kitchen cabinet generally
cooks Presidents goose.
Buffalo Courier: President Cleveland
is strongly committed to the maintenance
Of the Pendleton act, and his administra-
ton will enforce the reform law in its
letter and spirit.
Chicago Inter-O Ocean: Mr.. Bayard says
Cleveland's Southern policy will be that
of Hampton, Gordon and Colquitt. This
is the Democratic way of reassuring the
colored people in the South.
Davenport Gazette: AS all the other
States are claiming cabinet positions,
there is no reason why Iowa should not
have one, and the Democratic State Press
is raising the name of Judge l.. q.
Kinne.
Utica Herald: The more the pro-
visions of the Spanish treaty are studied
the more astonishing it appears that a
Republican President and Secretary Of
the Treasury should submit such an in
strument for the approval of Republi-
can Senate.
Philadelphia Record: Reciprocity in
wolves a nearly equal measure of CONNER
cial advantage for both The parties to a
treaty. 1t is not proper to call the Span
ish treaty reciprocity measure, because
it establishes no fair balance Of give and
take" As long as Spain insists upon the
collection of export taxes it is impossible
TO do business with her upon even terms.
st. Louis Globe Democrat: And so,
upon the whole. it would clearly be best
to go slow about consummating this
dicker with Spain. Surely, with the light
we now have upon the matter, it looks to
be diplomatic blunder so far as our side
of the bargain is concerned; and some
very strong arguments will be necessary
to warrant any different view.
New York Sun: The idea that Mr..
Bayard went to Albany for any other
purpose than to see about being the lead
ing member of Mr.. Cleveland's new cabi-
net is ridiculous. OF course he will take
the post of Secretary of State or Secre-
tary of the Treasury, just as he or Mr..
Cleveland may prefer. If he meant to re-
fuse, there would have been no need OF
| his travelling to Albany to say SO.

America. At that time there we're eighty
three Methodist clergymen and l4W0
church members in this country. Now
there are almost as many elergymen as
there were church members then, while
there are a million and half members.
Besides these there are in the Methodist
Episcopal Church South nearly million
members and about nine thousand
preachers. Adding 10 these the Wesleyan
Methodists and the members of the
African and Zion churches and the total
number OF Methodists in the United
States viii reach more than three mil
lions. These figures show a wonderful
growth. but it is only the growth In num-
bers, and they give no adequate idea OF
the progress in wealth and influence at
home and abroad which the church has
maintained. The slavery question rup-
tured the fraternity Of the church IN lS47
when by reason of the heat OF the con-
troyersy the American Methodist Epis-
copal Church South " became separate
organization. Notwithstanding these diff
ferences, which have now become In .
measure readjusted, the Methodist church
is more nearly national in its character
than any other, It's numerous distinguish
ed educational institutions are perhaps
unrivalled, and its extensive labors in the
fields of foreign missions is something OF
which its members are Justly proud

ONE way in which the over-burdened
treasury should not be relieved is by
drawing upon it to build a pedestal for
the Bartholdi statue. The preparations
for receiving and supporting New York's
Goddess devolves upon New York. not
upon the general government. The size
81 the colossal statue does not compare
with that OF the disgrace which belongs
to the wealthy men of New York and it is
to be hoped that Mr.. Cox's bill for their
relief win be defeated as speedily as. pos
sible.
