The letter OF Secretary Ltchman OF the Knights
OF Labor, announcing his determination TO vote
the republican ticket this year and explaining his
reasons for 50 doing. Is carefully worded so as not
20 express an intention OF appearing in the matter
In his Official capacity. AT the same time, IL will

ally, as notice served upon the democrats that
they may count the Knights out OF their calcula-
tons for 1sSS The opinions OF Mr.. Litchman as
man would not be OF sufficient consequence TO cause
the publication or one OF his letters as a campaign
document by either side; but the views OF Mr. Ltch-
man as the secretary OF great labor organization

other oficer. getting up such a demonstration In
which they are involved, even by implication. Be-
sides these there are Others who while perhap,
agreeing In the main with Mr. Litchmans conclu-
sions nevertheless disapprove OF the Introduction
OF politics into the order or Of the order into poll.

been proposing the reclamation of the Zuyder Zee-a greater work by far even than the
 draining of the lake of Harlem, which occu-
 pied twelve years The Zuyder Zee was
 formed in 12S2 by an invasion of the sea,
 which engulfed seventy-two villages The
 matter is HOW being taken up very energetic
 ally throughout the country, and several or
 ganizations have been formed to collect funds for defraying the Cost of preliminary surveys.
 Is is proposed to separate the Zee from the ocean outside by means of dykes of great strength, and then to pump out the water obviously long and costly operation.
 One of the most important and interest ing subjects which will be discussed at the Methodist General Conference, which meets in May in New York, is the modification of the itinerancy. Dr. T. L. Flood has some- thing worth attention to say concerning this matter follows: It was all right for the small towns of seventy-fve years ago, but it is too small rule to day for the Methodist church in the great cities of the land with their growing populations. The theaters of these cities have all given place to larger opera houses. Dr. John P. Newman is now serving his third term as pastor of the Met ropolitan Methodist Episcopal church in Washington, D. c. Suppose that he had re- mained there from the time he was first ap- pointed as the friend of General Grant and chaplain of the Senate and pastor of that great church-nearly twenty years of ser vice? He would have enlarged the building to accommodate the congregation, and the power of Methodsm would be double what it is at that point in Washington to-day. pr. George E. Reed, at the Hanson Place, Brook lyn, or Dr. J. 0. Peck in the same place, or Dr. J. M. Buckley or Dr. J. H. Vincent in pulpits in New York city for a long term would gather about them great following. Dr. Vincent has now greater following than any other man in any church in America. But he has hadethat opportunity by being in one office for twenty years. By his rare pull pit and platform gifts, together with his ex- ceptional organizing powers, he has banded together in summer assemblies at Chautau- qua and over forty other places in more than twenty States more than 100000 people who are pursuing four years course of reading. What could not such man have done as a pastor in a great city? The sad comment is that the best talent of great men and splen- did opportunities have been used prodigally, and the church has comparatively little to show for it in this particular kind of church work.
