Tbs Work Of the Conferencs.

AS the Methodist General Confer
ence has closed its quadrennial session,
it may be a matter of interest to many
of our readers to know how the lead
ing questions presented before it for
action were settled. The disposition
of several of the most important, such
as the admission of women delegates,
the extension of the pastors time
limit, the election of new bishops, ETC.,
have been already noted in these col
umns. In addition, the following rules
and regulations have been estab-
lished:
!. A bishop may use tobacco.
2. There is to be no change in the
present societies and general plan of
carrying on the church benevolences.
An elaborate report making revolu-
tionary changes by way of rearrange-
ment was voted down.
8. Delegates representing confer
ence must reside within the bounds of
the conference; otherwise they are in
eligible to seats.
4. Bishops are required to be
| OiOCOcu w q GWO-tAAAOc NOVO VI OAO OOA-
ference.
S. A bishops term of Office is for
life. It cannot be limited to term of
years.
6. Presiding elders cannot be cho-
sen by the conferences. They are
subject exclusively to appointment By
the bishops.
z. Presiding elders to not possess
coordinate powers with the bishops in
making the annual allotment of minis
tiers to their charges. This power rests
solely in the bishops hands.
8. Presiding elders terms are ex-
tended from four to six years.
o. The bishops shall continue to be,
as they always have been, general SUI
perintendeDts. They are not to be as
signed to certain limited and defined
Jurisdictions OF dioceses.
In general it may be added that, in
various ways, it is made manifest that
the powers of the bishops can never be
as great and controlling again as it has
been. Many things at this conference
did not 60 in a manner fully to suit
Il their views. Theirs was an unprece-
dented assertion of independence in
opinion and action on the part of the
members, which indicates growing
feeling of restiveness under the exer-
else of autocratic powers. These high
officials viii need to control their action
with great wisdom and moderation tC
prevent further exhibition of this
spirit
Almost equal in point of interest tC
the election of bishops was the ques-
ton of their location. Since the ad
journment of the conference the
bishops have held a meeting at which
this question was considered and de
Itermined, with the following result

So far, Foraker is perhaps the only
American, at any rate the only Buck
eye that has poor opinion of Thur
man.-Democrat.
The editor of the Democrat evil
IDENTIFY willfully forgets the entire
democratic delegation from Ohio, at
st. Louis, who voted for Gray of In
diana in preference to the sanity
Thurman, although the latter was
from their own state. We are aware
that stretching the truth is generally
considered able democratic argument,
but Mr.. O'Conner should not stretch it
quite so hard unless he wishes to frac-
ture it.

MANY republican papers are COM
planning because at the st. Louis con-
vention set of resolutions expressive
of sympathy for Phil. Sheridan met
with rather cool treatment. But there
is such a thing as asking too much Of
even converted confederates. Put
yourselves in their places. Suppose,
for instance, that a set of resolutions
expressing sympathy for JEFF Davis
are introduced in the Chicago conven-
ticn. We think we are perfectly safe
in predicting that they would be re-
ceived with freezing coolness. The
cases are parallel. The st. Louis con-
vention was chiefly composed of ex-
confederates, while the Chicago conven-
tion will be chiefly composed of ex-
federals.

WE have not seen it mentioned, but
it is fact that so far as heard from
the democrats have not held single
ratification meeting since the nominal
tions at st. Louis. And still they
claim that the country is wild with en-
thusiasm over the ticket. The fact is
it has fallen like wet blanket on the
people, and no one is atisfed-neither
democrat or mugwump.

SUCH editorial remarks as the fol-
lowing are quite common just now in
democratic papers: "a recent editO-
rial in Harper's Weekly indicates that
President Cleveland will again receive
the support of the independent repub-
licans this fall.' Such items would
lead to the inference that the indie
pendent vote is carried around in the
pocket of Mr.. Curtis, to do what he
pleases with, and that the independ-
ents, like the democrats, must jump
when their master cracks the whip. In
the case of the democrats this was
proven to be fact at st. Louis. With
the independents, however, it may be
differant

AT mock convention held at Brazil,
Indiana, a gentleman nominated John
j. Ingalls, for president in words that
bear unmistakable evidence of the es-
TEEN in which the Kansas senator is
held at the home of the tall Wabash. -
Mr.. E. r. Keith said:
Gentlemen of the convention: On be-
half of the great state of Kansas, L
want to nominate that brave champion
of truth, that fearless advocate OF po-
litical purity, that great defender of re-
publican principles Senator John j.
Ingalls, of Kansas-for president of the
United States; the man who tore away
the hideOus mask of hypocracy, and eX-
posed the reasonable record of that in
famous copperhead, Daniel w. Voor-
hees. If there was q copperhead in
public life so literally skinned alive,
ViviSected and unmasked before gaZ-
ing public as was Mr.. voorhees, by the
distinguished senator from Kansas, the
records fail to reveal his name. And
all it took to do it was the courage to
tell the truth. And this, gentlemen, is
the spirit that must Undue the repub-
lican party, if we would be successful
in the coming fight. The man who
hesitates to tell the truth concerning
democracy does not deserve the honor
of standing under the broad banner of
republicanism-the party whose name
has become the synonym ofSgoOd gov
eminent and a happy people.

John Stotler, a prominent farmer
and stock raiser, living about nine
miles southwest of this city, met with
very severe and probably fatal acct
dent on Thursday morning about
o'clock at Plymouth. Mr.. Stotler was
on his return from Kansas City, and in
passing that station he attempted to
jump off the train while going under
full Roadway. He was thrown with
terrific force on the hard ground, re-
ceiving severe cuts and bruises on the
head, chest and arms. Mr.. Stotler is
hurt internally, and his recovery is
very doubtful.

the human soul aspirations for larger
liberties and higher life, and
Whereas, During the last fifty years
we, the rulers of this land, have COM
United the great mistake of permitting
learning, thereby expanding their
brains and quickening their thoughts
and breathing diSaffectiOn against our
time-honored rule, these women going
to and fro over the land knocking at
legislative doors, demanding to know
why the glorionS doctrines of democ-
racy should not apply to women as to
men; therefore
Resolved, That we, the democratic
men of America, in convention assem-
bled, advise and urge the legislatures
of every state in this broad union, to
enact such laws as will forever put a
stop to the education of the women of
this land, and thereby put stop to the
clamor for equal rights; as will forever
close the doors of every school, public
and private, to the female children of
this country; we advise and urge that
it be made penal offenSe, punishable
by fine and imprisonment, to teach any
girl child the letters of the alphabet;
and that any woman convicted of read
| ing newspaper or book, or of entering
lecture halls, whether as listener or
speaker, be severely punished by law.

GRRaHAM,s R00M

Yesterday afternoon NEWS report
er was introduced to Hon. Geo. w.
Kretzinger, who was enroute from Den
yer to Chicago. Mr.. KretZinger is one
of Chicago's most prominent lawyers.
He said to the reporter that since last
November he had made four trips from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and that
since the time of Lincoln he never saw
such enthusiasm in the republican
party. In November he seldom heard
Judge Gresham's name mentioned in
connection with the presidency, while
now it was everywhere the talk, from
Maine to California. The great ma
jority seemed to talk only of Gresham.
Mr.. Kretzinger said: II do not think
that there is the least doubt but that
the man nominated in Chicago would
be the next president. feel confident
that every state north of the Mason &
Dixon line will go republican. The
reporter asked on what grounds he
made such an assertion. He said:
Because in every instance the repub-
licans have made gains since Cleve-
lands first year. Then now there are
thousands of veterans SONS who will
cast their first ballot. Can they vote
for a man who is the enemy of their
fathers, who are prematurely old and
crippled because they gave the best
years of their life to defend the union!
No, indeed, the veterans sons will
vote against the president, it makes nc
difference who his opponent may be. u

THAT BOSTON STORE.

Almost every day for the past week the
EAGLE has been able to note the extensions
of some one of our leading retail houses
which have been compelled to enlarge or to
economic its space in order to accOmmo-
date growing trade. The latest one to
make such a move is The Boston Store,
Nos los to 101 East Douglas ave. John
A. Jewett & Co., grocers, vacated No. III
some weeks ago and opened another store
further east on the avenue. Since that
time workmen have been busy fitting that
room up for the especial accommodation
Of the Boston, who are moving into their
additional quarters
The partition walls between 105
ard 107 has been removed and
in the center of the present spacious
store room are additional counters for
notions, ribbons, ETC., and new and attrac-
tive line of novelties In the center of the
back part Of this opening will be the Office
and cashiers desk. Each saleslady has her
own particular department and sells from
no other.
The history of the Boston store is but
reflex of Wichita's improvements as shown
by the growing class of her retail houses.
Two years ago when they started, there
were only six salesladies. At the time the
extension was commenced they had grown
to twenty-five. Now they will put in
thirty-fve. Everything that the trade could
suggest in their line, is to be found in the
Boston Store.

A FLORAL CURIOSITY IN THIS CITY.

The night blooming cereus, or cactus
grandifiorus, is remarkable for its large,
beautiful, sweet-sceuted flowers. which be-
gin to open in the evening and close again
forever before morning. The calyX, near
ly one foot in diameter, is of splendid
yellow. enclosing pure white petals, and
the flower during the five or six hours of
its continuance is hardly surpassed in
beauty. Its structure il such that in Gull
tivation it may be trained against q wall. !"
Some seven or eight years ago q single
leaf Of this singular plant was broken
from the parent stem, then in possession
of Hon. j. r. Mead. and given to Mrs. NJ.
A Walter. of our city Through heat and
cold it has been tenderly cherished until
about two years ago it suddenly blossomed
unseen BY human eyes \ few days ago,
simultaneously almost, eleven buds
sprung forth from its long, smooth. slen-
der leaves, but the heavy rains caused sew
eral to fall, leaving six, which inside of
the present week will burst forth into
beauty
This plant is at present at the residence
of Col. II. l.. Taylor, and arrangements
will shortly be perfected that it may be
placed on exhibition at the time of bios
soming. a young specimen from the
older plant is in possession of Mrs. Taylor,
bearing two blossoms. one OF which will
open about the same time.
