Ahtemperance and Its Remedy One of
the Subjects Under Consideration.
PHILADELPHIA, May 20.-In the Meth
odist Episcopal General Conference the
report of the Committee on Intemperance
was presented to-day. 1t urges the
people to use their influence to Danish the
social glass from society. 1t recommends
the formation of Juvenile temperance So
cleties in the Sunday schools, and that
there shall be one temperance lesson each
quarter in the Sunday school series. 1t
also recommended that our State legisla-
tors be requested to introduce
instruction as to the use of alcohol
into the State universities and public
schools. 1t says that it is the liduor
traffic which is the chief source of the
widespread intemperance, which is the
most gigantic evil of the day. The com
mittee recommend the formation of con-
ference temperance societies in all annual
conferences. Complete legal prohibition
Of the liquor traffic is held to be the duty
OF the civil government, and that the peo-
pie ought not to allow themselves to be
controlled by party organizations
managed on the interests Of the liquor
trai1c. Several motions were made post
ponIng action in the above report, but
they were all defeated, and the report was
adopted.
Rev. DR.. j. NJ. Buckley was elected editor
OF the Christian AdUOcGte, Rev. j. Arthur
Edwards, the present incumbent, of the
North Western Christian AdUOcdte, Rev.
Benjamin st. James Frye of the Central
Christian AdUOcdte, and Rev. o. H. War
ren, ID. d., the present incumbent, of the
Northern Christian AdUOcdte. Report No.
3, of the Committee on EpiscOpacy, which
was presented by Rev. DIR. Curry, stated
that by a unanimous vote they had recon-
mended the election of missionary BishOD
for Africa. J. NJ. Phillips was elected
Treasurer, and Rev. DIR. Earl Cranston
Assistant Treasurer of the Missionary
Society.
The Committee on the Freedmen's Aid
Society this afternoon adopted a report to
be presented by the general conference
tomorrow upon the entire question of
educational work in the South among
whites and blacks. The report will
doubtless be the subject of long and
lively debate. The committee voted to
recommend that the name of the society
be not changed, and that an appeal be
made to the church to raise $500, 900 dur
ing the centennial year for work in the
South. The committee say in the re-
port that mixed schools and mixed
congregations may, in many places,
be the most desirable and best for all con-
ceIheu. IN OIner places one class or the
other, or both, may prefer separate con-
gregatiOns and separate schools. If so,
such is their right and we heartily con-
cur. The report further states that it is
the Judgment of this committee that the
entire educational work of the Methodist
Episcopal Church in the Southern States
should be under the direction of one So
ciety, and that in view OF the great sue
cess of the Freedman's Aid Society dur
ing past years in carrying forward edu-
catiOnal work in the South, we believe
that this society ought to have full charge
OF the work in the South.

What an Ohio Republican Said About
Him.

Representative Converse, who allowed
himself to be the cats paw of the Republi-
cans by offering the resolution to strike
out the enacting clause of the Morrison
tariff bill, was very properly snubbed the
other day as he left the capitol by the
pretty little wife of Northwestern Rep
resentatiye who had voted for the bill.
Flushed with what he deluded himself
with believing was triumph, he rushed
up to the lady, with whom he is well ac-
quainted, and held out his hand. She put
hers behind her, promptly saying: "No,
won't shake hands with you; / am
ashamed of you.''
When this was repeated to an Ohio Re-
publican, who voted against the bill. he
said: Il am glad Of it; that ought to be
published. II there is any one hate. il
