 Missionary Bishop William Taylor has arrived from Africa in New York, to make his report to the general conference. His whole plan of missions has been severely criticised, but he is confident that he can show results which. will justify him. He has established thirty-six mission stations among thirty-fve tribes; many of them have school houses which serve as churches; the missionaries and their wives teach industry as well as reading and writing and religion, and the stations are to be self-supporting.

accused of having recourse to the arts of the
 politician. Certainly there is an indignant
 protest against such conduct from the rank
 and file of the church, and an extended ob-
 servation seems to warrant the belief that
 the conference soon to assemble will be re-
 form body, at least in that particular. No
 one anticipates, however, that there will be
 any lack of willing Barkis', or that any who
 are invited to step up higher will astonish
 the country by declining.
 The office of 8 Methodist bishop is a very
 desirable one. The term is for life, the sala.
 " large and the influence tremendous. The
 bishops make the appointments, and it is moderate to say that each bishop in the Methodist Episcopal church controls on the average thousand preachers and as many churches. Since the general conference three bishops have died. The matchless Simpson was the firer to go, his demise oc- curing shortly after the ever memorable farewell address by which he brought the conference of 1884 to 8 close. A little later Bishop Wiley died and was buried in China, the scene of his early missionary labors. Still later Bishop Harris breathed his last in New York. By these losses the Episcopal force of the church has been reduced to twelve men, and some of these are not robust any longer It is inevitable therefore that new timber will be needed in the Episcopal board. Precisely how many new bishops shall be elected the conference itself will de- termine Some think there ought to be @ big batch of them, the cry of these being for more bishops and fewer presiding elders. Others think the time has come for 8 Metho- dist Episcopal bishop to reside in Europe, with another in China, and still another in India. Such propositions as these were be- fore the last conference, and it was the com mon remark that but for the influence of the bishops themselves, effectualized in the votes of the laity, they would have been adopted. A reasonable prediction would place the number of new bishops at not more than five. as more than that would involve radi- cal departure from all recent precedents.
 Who will be promoted to this dignity is one of the things no fellow can yet tell with absolute certainty, but he would be a poor observer of events who couldn't ven ture 8 few guesses. It is not improbable William Taylor, now missionary bishop to
