Methodist Centennial.

This year will witness the celebration of the
one hundredth anniversary of the Methodist
Episcopal Church on this continent, and will
doubtless prove year of unusual activity and
profound interest throughout the wide extend
ed borders of that large denomination. In
1854, the year when the Methodist Church
was organized in Baltimore, when Coke and
Asbury were acknowledged and set apart as
superintendent, or bishops, there were only
l4,9SS members, SO preachers, 81 church
buildings, no missionaries and no institution
of learning within the bounds of the denomi-
nation. But from that time until the present
the growth of Methodism has been remarka-
BILE. To-day American Methodism numbers
within her various branches 3,3, 1894 mem
bers %, 889 travelling preachers, and 34,7l4
local preachers; $4,000 church edfces valued
at 500, 000, 900; 258 institutions of learning,
embracing universities, colleges, seminaries
and high schools; in 1882 had 1873 missiona.
ries in foreign fields sent from America, be.
sides 1906 native helpers; and during that
year contributed for the cause of foreign mis-
sions the sum of 1851, 447.44.
= The NJ Z. Church South has prepared to
join in the celebration of .'the centennial an
niversary of the organization of the Methodist
Episcopal Church in America" which will
occur in Baltimore on December 81, and pro.
poses to commemorate the great event through
out its entire bounds with suitable services
and by raising funds for educational purposes,
church extension and missions. Two mil
lions of dollars is the amount proposed to be
raised for these objects.

Important from Europe.

A telegram from Rome to the Baltimore
Sun says that the ambassadors of Germany,
Austria, Spain, France, and other powers
have been instructed to confer with Mancini,
the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, ''re-
garding European CO operation with a view to
demanding the Washington Government to
initiate legislation against avowed dynamite
emissaries. p"
Upon the foregoing the San makes the sub
joined editorial comment:
Where active open organization against the
peace of a neighboring and friendly nation
has manifested itself the United States has
| not been slow to interfere. 1t did so in the
Papineau and Mckenzie rebellion in lower
and upper Canada in 1887 and 1888, in the
Fenian raids over the Canadian border in
1866 and 1870, in the numerous expeditions
that have been fitted out on our soil for the
invasion of Cuba and Nicaragua, and, very
recently, in the seizure of a vessel bought for
the use of the insurgents in Hayti. Beyond
interfering in such open and avowed belllger-
encv as this the United States is not likely to
go, and the worst thing that the European
powers combined could do would be to form
ulate such demand on the United States.
and while we desire to maintain friendly rela-
tons with all foreign governments, our tradi
tional policy is to keep ourselves entirely free
from entangling alliance and to leave them to
deal with their external and internal troubles
as they may deem best.
Let us suppose that tn joint note indicated
should be addressed to this government, and
that it should be treated in the true American
spirit courteously but firmly rejected, what
are these European powers likely to do about
it? Would they, in that event, attempt to
enforce their demands? If so, they would
give to the world practical illustration of
the sentiment that "Whom the gods would
destroy they first make mad. The very act
of combination would be a menace to this
government. A hostile demonstration towards
the United States by the combined powers of
Europe, would afford the very opportunity
desired by the nihilists, socialists, regiGides
and revolutionists of Europe to e0nsummate
their plans 1t would precipitate upon our
shores titanic warfare the extent and fierce
ness of which were probably never paralleled
in the military annals of the world, at the
close of which not crowned head that had
embarked in it would survive, and not a
throne in Europe but would have gone to light
the funeral pyre of monarchial government.
1t is no boast to say that sixty millions Of
Americans, upon their own soil, could with
stand the world in arms, and that while such
a conflict would press sorely upon the military
resources of this country, it would sweep
Europe with the Bosom of destruction. 1t
would be infinitely wiser in the representa-,
tives of the great powers of Europe to weigh
well the probable results before undertaking
so quixotic crusade.

A Child Flayed Alive.

GREENvILLE, S. c., March 3.-'You want
to sleep like white folks, do youg' said John
Barnes stalwart, able bodied negro, as he
snatched his sick little nephew out of bed,
carried him in his arms to a post outside, to
which he tied him with stout rope coiled
around his knees, waist and neck Having
thus pigioned the boy the brute went back
and got bundle of hickory switches, which
he always kept for purposes of -castigation,
and began to apply them. cutting at every
blow and excaiming with oaths:
iYou doesn't want to get up, doesn't you
I'll make you think there sanRudder hurricane
done come.
The boy cried with pain under repeated cuts
of the switches, until at last exhausted nature
refused to give expression. Thinking this q
favorable time to extort promises of future early
rising from the boy, Barnes put the question
to him, but the only answer he received was
drop of the head as the boy sighed deeply.
''You won't, won't your shouted the en-
ragged man, taking the action of the boy as u
negative. "0h, you lazy little rascal You
won't get out Of work even if dis is freedom
days p and faster and faster the blows fell,
cutting into the flesh and making regular
layers, which as a cross blow would sever one
end, streamed out like ribbon of blood.
Barnes, maddened up into frenzy seemed to
take delight in the falling blows, and, as a
fresh string of flesh was fayed out, would
shout out, Xxi, vi how de pieces do cum y
At last the boys neck Strengthened up, his
eyes rolled and HIS head fell upon his breast
with a feeble sigh, and the hrute's arm was
descending with another blow when it was
caught up by negro woman who had stood
by him begging him to stay his bloody work.
"See dar, you've dun killed your poor sis
ter's chile. +"
The wretch turned and ran.
Other women came on the scene about this
time, and the first one called to them:
Hurry up and unite the boy. | think he's
living" But as soon as the last rope was cut
the boy fell into her arms dead, resting on her
shoulder.
"Killed his poor sisters child, was the
ejaculation most frequently heard. Several
men came up by this time, attracted by the
woman's lamentations. They counted upon
the body 100 separate and distinct cuts, besides
many more which were lost in others pre-
viously made. Flesh hung out in strings and
the body felt like handful of fish-worms to
the fingers as men tried to lift it.
At last the voice was raised, "Where' s
Barnes Pr 'sHang him hang him y and the
infatuated men, joined by many others who
had now come up, joined in the search for the
william White people also took part in the
pursuit and soon captured him. A conflict
between the two races was imminent, owing
to the determination of the negroes to lynch
the prisoner at once. He was taken safely
away, however, and is now in Anderson Jail.

No Mixed Commissions.

Gov. McLame does not believe in dividing
political responsibility. When asked about
minority representation on the board OF su-
pervisors Of election for Baltimore city, by
Baltimore San correspondent, he replied that
he had received originally, with all proper
respect. the recommendations ofhis friends to
appoint a Republican, and had decided, IN
conformity with the sentiment expressed IN
his inaugural address, that strict party man
agement was consistent with honest and etii-
Gent government. "Wherever mixed party
boards have been tried, ''said the Governor,
as in New York, they have resulted in bar
gains between factions of both parties, and
divided the responsibility which properly be-
longs to one. These opinions | have always
entertained and expressed, and with great
Difference and respect for the opinions of
others feel it my duty to be governed by my
own. 1t is in no sense question OF reform.
1t is a question of personal Judgment and dis
cretion have no disposition to involve my
self in any partnership whatever with the Re-
publican party, and would feel somewhat
distrustful of myself if l had secured the COM
mendation of the Republican press"
The Governor is right. Three Democrats
are more certain to work tremendously, and
will execute their trusts as faithfully as two
Democrats and one Republican. Besides,
the Democratic party, being the ruling and
responsible party, should carry out its policy
through Democratic agents. The county COM
missioners in the several counties appoint
judges and clerks of election, the same duties
the Baltimore board of supervisors have to
perform, and they are rarely ever mixed po-
litically. In Carroll Baltimore, Howard,
Hartford and some other counties the commits
sioners are all Democrats. In Frederick,
Calvert, Charles, st. Mary's and one or two
other counties, the board of commissioners
are generally solidly Republican. There is
no objection to the work of the commissioners
in the appointment of judges and clerks, and
there is no necessity for mixed board of SUI
pervisors Of elections in Baltimore city.
Republicans should neither ask nor expect
minority representation at the hands Of Dem
ocrats. When they ruled in Maryland Demo
Gratis had no representation anywhere-poli-
tics even being carried into school matters.

Ra1timore,s Last Political Sensation

Baltimore has another political sensation.
Gen George S. Brown on Wednesday pub
lished in several Baltimore papers cores
pondence and the alleged substance ofinter-
views between himself and VIM. Keyser and
Lewis N. Hopkins on the one hand and Mayor
Latrobe on the other. Upon seeing this
statement in the papers, Senator Hayes, OF
Baltimore, introduced a preamble and reso-
luton in the Senate in the matter. The pre-
amble sets forth the charges of deception and
duplicity of Mayor Latrobe alleged by Gen.
Brown, and the resolution provides for acom-
mittee of investigation and the removal of the
Mayor from office if the charges are sustained.
Strange to say the resolution was passed, but
what right the Senate of Maryland has to thus
proceed does not appear. The constitution
gives no such authority, and the Maryland
Senate has no more right to investigate the
Mayor of Baltimore than the New York SEN
ate has. 1.-THE Senate on Thursday recon-
sidered their action, and, finding out they had
no authority to investigate Mr.. Latrobe, ia
bled the resolution TO investigated
Mayor Latrobe's offending, it appears from
Gen. Browns two and quarter columns ad-
vertisement, is the Mayors acceptance of ad-
vice in regard to the City Collectorship from
Robert Garrett instead of from Gen. Brown.
The latter desired the retention of Mr.. Taylor
as collector and Mr.. Garrett desired the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Higgins. Mr.. Higgins was
appointed and confirmed, whereat Gen. Brown
becomes exceedingly wroth and publishes a
long rigmarole about how Mayor Latrobe vo-
ted and acted in the fanatical judgship cam
paign in the fall of 1882, as if it were any
body's business who Mayor Latrobe voted for
or how much money he contributed as cam
paign funds or to which side, or to both.
Mr.. Garrett and Mr.. Latrobe are personal
friends. Mr.. Garrett desired him to be a can
didate for Mayor, supported him in his candi-
dacy and contributed heavily to his campaign
expenses. The expenses of Latrobe's cam
paign were very large, as the readers of the
Baltimore dailies well know, for several col
umns of political advertisements appeared
daily in the Sun and american for week
prior to the election. 1t would be ingratitude
if the Mayor did not reciprocate Mr.. CARROTS
favors. Mr.. Higgins will make an excellent
collector, and as Mr.. Garrett desired his APP
pointment Mayor Latrobe could scarcely re-
fuse
Baltimore Democrats, it seems, are not
happy unless quarrelling, which is very dis
gushing to the party in the counties. They
never discuss and settle matters privately, but
publish them broadcast in the Sun and Amer
lean at twenty to forty cents line. Instead
of the city taking in the Belt, the city ought
to go to the county and be ruled by the coun-
ty commissioners. Baltimore politicians, of
both and all parties, are an uncanny set.

The New York World says Mr. Ransom
asked the Senate last week to appropriate
100000 for the cyclone sufferers of the South,
but his resolution was referred. 1t will be
weighed because the money is to be distribu-
ted in the South. John Sherman ought to
have the cyclone investigated with a view to
ascertaining whether it treated blacks and
whites impartially. 1t may have been Dem
ocratic cyclone directed especially against
'niggers."
