Justice Where Due.

The Memphis Appeal, which has been
one of the newspapers supporting tie
Morrison bill, while 1t still demands
tariff revision and revenue reform, and
appeals to Mr.. Randall TO introduce a
bill looking to that end, has the fairness
and justice to give that eminent member
of his party credit for many good quail
ties and valuable services, which some of
his present Democratic critics and oppo.
nents are disposed TO forget. I. says:
This distinguished statesman of Penn.

cratic party. His ability and patriotism
are both unquestioned. He has tact
shrewdness, courage, energy and ability
and has for years been to the Democratic
party what Blaine has been to the Repub
lican party. He was tower of strength
to the Southern people, and by virtue of
his record as true and unfiinohing friend
OF the South when the South needed friends
and 1t cost something to stand up IN her
defense by virtue Of his devotion to the
cause OF universal amnesty for which he
made SO many sacrifices by virtue of the
large and hearty spirit in which he urged
iorgetiulness OF the past and reconciliation

THE church conferences have their
innings this week, and neither prize
fights nor baseball contests shall absorb
popular interest to neglect OF the
country's religious concerns. The
Methodists, in their quadrennial gather
ing in Philadelphia, present the most
imposing subject and the most wide
reaching issues. The discussion about
locating foreign bishop is watched with
the gravest anxiety because it is deemed
to be the opening of the great subject of
a fixed pastorate, the increasing demand
for which threatens that itineracy which
has been the life Of the church. The
conference committee on revisals b. :
certainly acted with nice sense
OF the proprietes in relieving young
ministers of the church from the
inhibition formerly laid upon them
"to take no step toward marriage
without consultation with older breth
rem "; but it is little difficult to under
stand why the committee should be sc
hard on tobacco and yet fear to add tc
the list of specific immoralities such
demoralizing practices as gambling in
margins, bribery, slander and frauds in
elections" In the Reformed church
the old ritualistic questions raise their
heads; and the African Methodists have
quite as turbulent times as any Of theiI
white brethren.
