second place. the salaries of the bishops are not
provided for by the profits of the Book Concern
They don't get copper from that source.
In the third place, the Christian Advocate
never assaulted Doctor Newman, but always
spoke of him kindly. 1t published the proceed
ings of several church meetings, when his case
was under consideration by the Congregational
church that, as local preacher, he was serving
as pastor, but never accompanied them with an
unklnd aluslOn to Doctor Newman. In the
fourth place, the bishops don't elect the
Advocates editor annually. They have nothing
to do with his eleetion--have not even an
individual, much less official vote on the
occasion, unless to fill vacancy, which has not
occurred once in the last hundred years with
that paper. for they neither resign nor die In
the fifth place, the Advocate is not the official
organ of any one or Of all the bishops A bishop

the sixth place, there is no vacant bshoprc" to
be filled by Doctor Newman or ANYBODY else.
With these few exceptions and about half
dozen more equally glaring. the letter is reliable
and by SO much as it forecasts the future by
caricaturing DIR. Newman and holding the polity
of the Methodist Church up to ridicule, it is a
valuable contribution to current news. Evi-

The Legislature of 1889.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis journal:
1t is proposed to hold reunion of the surviv-
ing members of the constitutional convention
of 1850, and also of the Legislature of 1851,
which enacted the laws to carry the Constitution
into effect move to amend the proposition by
adding call for the surviving members of the
Legislature of 18489, which called the conven-
ton and apportoned its members among the
several counties, and I would suggest the names
of Thomas A. Hendricks, Judges James S..
Frazer and Jacob b. Julian, General Dunn,
members, with John w. Dodd secretary of the
House, as a committee to carry my motion into
effect.
Whatever may be thought Of the wisdom of
some of the provisions of the Constitution made
for the people of the State by the convention, or
of the laws made by the Legislature to carry
them into effect, there was no doubt that an
amendment of the Constitution of 1916 was
necessary and proper, and the Legislature
which called it did wise act.
If the surviving members of all the legisla-
lures of the State prior to 1850 were called
together. the assembly would not be a large one
for it is believed that a few only are living.

Mistakes on Methodism.

To the Editor of tle Indianapolis journal:
Your New York Special correspondent, in his
dispatch of the ODD instant, makes very seri-
Gus mistake in stating that the editor of the
Christian Advocate, of New York, is chosen
annually by the bishops, and he is controlled in
his policy by the will of the older and more
potent of them" The truth u.s. the bishops
legally have nothing to do with the selection of
the editor. He is elected for four years by the
General Conference, in which the bishops preside
alternately. The bishops not supported by
the profits Of the Book Concern. but from a
fund raised by collections in the churches If
there is deficiency | think it is paid ont of the
funds of the Concern JOHN II. KELLEY.
