Vermont and Maine will vote for State
officers as usual in the carly fall, but they
are not disputed States, and Rhode Island
has already voted; but Ohio, Indiana and
West Virginia, the three hard-fought Octo-
Dor States OF past national battles, will
have no preliminary elections, as all have
changed their constitutions to hold their
State elections in November. Thus, after
Vermont and Maine, which will vote Re-
publican, there will be no finger-board to
point results in any Of the doubtful States

conceivable kind Of pavement, are held to
be the best. But whether these or some
other the streets OF Memphis must be
paved. The commerce OF the city and
the convenience and health OF its peo-
pie demand II. As to the fire de-
partment, its inadequacy has been
felt several times during the past year.
What there is OF II is very creditable. The
men are alert, prompt and faithful, and
do all that is possible TO them TO save prop
criy and life. but the city would be safer
with five additional engines located equi
distant in Chelsea, Fort Pickering and
east Of Bayou Gayoso, and II would be
safer still II the police force was increased

that some false economists oppose any in

and point to the comparative peace OBJ
tanned by the ridiculously small force, but
so they argued when the great reform in
our sanitary condition was under consider
alton. But the epidemic Of 1878 swept
away all their arguments and apologies,
and II may DO that an epidemic Of crime
or Of fro may be needed TO awaken the
public to the necessity that exists for the
increased efficiency Of two OF the most
necessary and important departments Of

with the coal andiron regions Of Alabama
and with the Georgia Railroad systems
to the South and North Atlantic sea
ports. The Irony Mountain route, CON-
pleted few dsys since, is to be
added to these and the Midland will no
doubt be running trains in few days to
Jackson and ultimately to Nashville and
across the State To- Bristol, making short

make ten roads, to which within year
We shall have 10 add the road to Colum-

Railroad now under contract to Meridian,
Miss, making thirteen railroads, most OF

city within the next two years, each one
laying large territory under contribution
for additional and diversified trade, to
augment which the Merchants Exchange
and the Cotton Exchange should unite
and form Bureau Of Inquiry and In
formation, with which all the statistics Of
the regions thus added TO our contributary
territory should be filed for gen.
eral information, and which should
encourage the Investment Of capital
in trade and manufactures here. This
bureau should advertise Memphis and
push her fortunes ahead, and in every
direction. BY such an organization, faith
fully and theoretically administered, the
business Of the city might shortly be
doubled in volume and value. Railroads
Of themselves do great deal, but they
may be made to do a great deal more
through such bureau as we suggest. 1t
would be Memphis epitomlzed and organ
lied, and would be felt as the accreted en-
crgy OF the city. Such bureau would
assist and direct investors and help manu-
facturers in securing sites and extending
their trade; il would help the manuiac-
turers we have, and induce merchants to
sustain them by giving preference to their
goods over those Of foreign manufacturers,
prices and samples always considered. To
establish and work through such bureau
would be TO concentrate the whole strength

THE NORTHERN METHODIST
CHURCH.

CHURCH,
Whose General Conference is now in
session In New York, has made provision
for an Ecumencal Conference OF Method
ism to be held in one OF the great cities OF
the United States in 1901, tho range OF
subjects TO be presented for consideration
to be determined by the joint committee
OF the several Methodist bodies participant
ing, including questions OF doctrine and
polity where material differences exist.
II is thus agreed that men who are en-
tirely apart in polity and doctrine are for
brief week or two TO put away
their differences and meet upon common
level for good work, for something more
than mere civility or interchange OF fellow
ship. II for day, week or month,
why not agree on this basis for all time
and unite, making great body, adapted
by It's system 10 obtain most excellent re-
suits alike on the borders OF civilization,
in the heart OF Africa and in tho purlieus
OF London and New York. Under one
dispensing head what power would
Methodism become. What power II was
on this continent before divisions came.
It's missionaries were everywhere in the
woods, wherever the woodlands AK was
heard, and they were not afraid to en-
counter man In his extremes OF folly and
contend with him on the threshold Of his
sin. John Wesley's example was as
spirit OF fire In those days, and II still Is to
the men who are In the advance. Simple
in its creed and hearty in It's ways, Meth
odism commended itself TO the pioneers
who laid the foundations OF the Western
and Northwestern States, and every man
who is not limited by the horizon OF an
iron-clad creed must admit It's potency as a
necessity Of American civilization. No
other body Of Christians could have sue
cessiully undertaken its work, no other
body reached 80 near TO the heart OF the
rough and common men and laid them
under contribution for sympathy and
obedience. To become again united
would give American Mcthodism q
new and more eflectual basis OF work,
make IL strong for that work which is a
constant contention with the weaknesses
that distract men from righteous living
whether II be lntemperancc OF speech, Of
habit or OF view, whether II be the ac-
quisitivcness that induces men to make
trusts, combines and monopolies by which
poverty Is increased, and crime and
the difficulties Of good government are
increased by the increase Of detected, de-
spondent and dcspairing laboring men.
There never was a time In the history OF
Christianity when the masses more
earnestly turned their faces toward the
church for council and alvice. All sign
have no FAR failed them, and II that, too,
chaos must set in. Wealth has increased
and luxuries, but poverty Is deeper and
moro degrading. Sweetness and light
were never more hungorcd and thirstcd, for
yet darkness was never more profound.
Gold Is TO the eye and ear moro Savior
than ever, aud the peace that passes all
