one ministerial delegate for every IS members of
an annual conference, and two lay delegates for
every annual conference large enough to have
more than one ministerial delegate. The minis
terial and lay delegates deliberate and vote
together as one body, but may vote separately on
the call OF one-third of either class. The bishops
have no vote, but bishop must always preside.
There are eleven regular bishops and missionary
bishop, whose status is in dispute. Three of the
bishops have died since the last General Confer
ence and it is expected tnat i've bishops will be
elected at this session OF the conference.
Since 1872 delegated General Conference OF
the church has met every four years Its ~ years
since the last General Conference met in New
York, and at that session the controversy arose
which led to the division of the church into North
and South on the slavery issue. The General
Conference of 1876 was held in Baltimore city, at
the Academy OF Music; the conference of 1880 was
held at Cincinnati, and that of 1884 in Phladel-
phia. The General Conference has full power,
under certain restrictive rules" to make rules
and regulations for the church. The conference
made and can repeal or change the whole Book of
Discipline, except what is guarded by the restric-
tive rules. These rules are the standards OF
doctrine "epscopacy" and "plan OF itinerant
general superintendency" and other matters. The
General Conference has no power to change the
articles of faith or abolish the episcopacy. In
certain cases the whole church may empower the
General Conference to change the restrictive rules
except in that which regards doctrine.
Since the last General Conference Bishops
Simpson, Wylie and Harris have died. The other
bishops, in the order Of their seniority, who are
nearly all in New York now, as follows: Thos.
Bowman, st. Louis; Randolph S. Foster, Boston;
Stephen NJ. Merrill, Chicago Edw. q. Andrews,
Washington ID. O.; Henry w. Warren, Denver,
Col: Cyrus ID. Foss, Minneapolis, Mimi; John
+. Hurst Buffalo, N. Y: w. y. Ninde. Kansas:
J. NJ. Walden, Chattanooga, Tenn; Willard +.
| Mallalieu, New Orleans; Chas. Henry Fowler,
San Francisco: Vim. Taylor, Africa.
Ii is considered to be pretty certain that five
bishops will be elected by the General Conference
| Of course many names are mentioned in this con-
nection, but no one can anticipate results. The
| reason, it is thought. that five bishops will be
elected is on account of the known heavy work OF
the episcopacy and the great growth of thu church
| in four years. The bishops have voice in the
| selection Of their colleagues, though they may be
consulted as to the number the work will require.

81 thoroughly agree with you on the
subject of protection to American In
dustries, and l believe a protective
policy is necessary for the development
of the "New" South in which | feel so
much interest. But for all that | must
vote for Cleveland, if he is renom-
mated"
'EYou admit then that you must sup
port him and his free-trade policy, upon
mere partizan grounds, while you be-
lieve protective policy as advocated
by the Republicans is the true one for
the prosperity of the South as well as
for every other section of the country"
"Yes l suppose that is about the size
of my Democracy"
The above conversation had this week
with Southern Democrat whom we
have known for several years and who
is interested financially in the industrial
development OF his native State North
Carolina, illustrates very forcibly the
attitude generally taken by Democratic
protectionists. Although they disagree
with Mr.. Cleveland yet they will sup
port him, and run the risk of checking
the industrial growth of the country,
simply because they are partizan Dem
ocrats. In its issue OF Thursday the
Philadelphia Press comments on the
same position taken by Southern (pro-
tectionist) newspapers and roticeably
in the case of the Atlanta Constitution
which frankly declares that it differs
widely from the tariff policy of Mr.
Cleveland as laid down in his message
that it believes he has endangered Dem

The Great Conference of MethO-
dIStS.

The great council of the Methodist
Episcopal Church-the General Con-
ference-which began its session in the
metropolitan Opera House in New York
on Tuesday, promises to be one of the
most important ecclesiastical assem-
blages ever held in this country. The
progress made by Methodlsm since the
assembling of the last General Confer
ence in that city, A years ago, Is some
thing marvellous. Then the member
ship of this church was less than two
millions, now it is over four millions.
Delegates have gathered from the four quarters
OF the globe-America, Europe, Asia and Africa
The Methodist Episcopal Church includes all its
members throughout the world-Iot all Method
lists, but all members OF this particular church.
The General Conference is the only law-making
body of the Methodist Episcopal Church. and its
legislation will comprehend not only the needs of
the church in the United States, but also in India
China, Japan, Africa, Italy, Germany, Norway,
Sweden, Mexico, and other foreign countries
The sessions of the conference will be held daily
trym A. NJ. till 2P NJ, in the Metropolitan Opera
House, which has been engaged for this month,
during which the body will continue in session.
number OF changes have been made in the Opera
House to adapt it to the uses of the conference
branch pOstotfice, telegraphic and messenger SER
vice have been introduced for the convenience of
delegates. The private boxes have been rented to
members and Others for the use of their families
and friends. In the main audience chamber there
are seats for upwards OF five hundred delegates,
and in other parts of the house there seats for
many as two thousand people, there being no
restriction on public attendance, and no cards Of
admission required. The bishops, secretaries and
other officers are provided for on the stage and
the press will occupy the musicians seats in the
orchestra. 1t is understood that the rental of the
Opera House is $1,000 for the month, for which the
conference will be partly reimbursed by the sub
rental OF private boxes to individuals and families
desiring such accommodations. The largest item
of expenditure incident to the assemblage OF the
conference is the transportation and maintenance
of delegates. Some OF these coming from Asia,
Africa and Europe, will necessarily have pretty
long accounts to settle. The total expense for
transportation and maintenance is estimated mt
500 900.
There are 1O3 annual conferences in the Metho-
dist Episcopa lChurch. The ministry alone COM
pose the annual conferences, the function of which
is simply to transact business according to law
There is no lay representation in these annual
conferences. Previous to 1872 the whole power of
the General Conference or law making body was
also in the hands of the ministry, but at that time
they admitted the laymen to share this duty with
them. The General Conference now consists of

Hereafter in Maryland colored wo-
men are to be entitled to the same
legal remedy against the fathers of their
illegitimate children as the law affords
white women. The Democratic major
tiles in the Legislature have never had
the moral courage to wipe out this re-
proach to the State by making our
Code of Public Laws conform to the
constitution of the State, and MIR. John
Poe has, in preparing the new code,
stricken the word "white" from the
section relating to Dastardy.
1t is, as the Hagerstown Herald
pertinently remarks, rather a painful
commentary on the state of political
morals at Annapolis that this benehcent
reform could only be secured by sort
of legislative juggle. If it had been
submitted as a separate proposition
to be adopted or rejected upon its
merits,-it would have been disposed
of as all preceding bills of like charac-
ter had been, either by emasculation or
strangulatlon.
Mr.. Poe, however, took the response
bility of leaving out the word "white"
in his draft of tine New Code,-and the
amalgamationists did not make the
discovery until it was too late to restore
it. In fact 1t is intimated that Mr.. Poe
purposely concealed this change in the
existing law, except from the judges
and lawyers who favored it.
1t is not many months since a man
and woman were released from prison
for marrying in violation of the statute
which prevents legal cohabitation be-
tween the white and colored races. 1t
is to be hoped that the new statute
against illegal cohabitation will be en-
forced with the same vigor.

ocratic success in New York, New err
sey and Connecticut that his policy, II
carried into effect, would check per-
manently the industrial growth OF the
South, and that it fears disaster to the
Democratic party and perhaps ma
tional panic from the fact that the
Democracy has been committed, for this
campaign at least, to the Free-trade
platform of Mr.. Cleveland.
But Notwithstanding these admissions
the Constitution announces that it will
support MIR. Cleveland for reelection,
running on his message as platform,
and with a vice presidentlal candidate
chosen by himself. 1t proposes, 1t says,
to allow its Protection views to remain
in advance during this presidential
canvass, simply that the Democratic
party may be kept solid and free from
factional bitterness. The Constitution
reflects, doubtless, the sentiments OF the
Democratic advocates of Protection in
Georgia, Alabama. Tennessee, and
Louisiana. In each of these states min
ing and manufacturing enterprises have
made wonderful advance, and the
feeling favorable to Protection has
developed with equal strides, and the
certainty that the adoption OF Mr..
Cleveland's revenue policy would prove
disastrous is widespread.
Understanding the situation exactly,
however, the protectionists IN these
states notify the advocates of Protection
elsewhere that they can not expect any
assistance from them in the coming
campaign, in which the tariff is to be
the chief issue. The risk they take is
plain If Mr.. Cleveland is reelected a
Democratic House of Representatives
will undoubtedly be chosen with him
and probably a democratic majority
substituted for the present narrow
Republican majority in the Senate.
This would give the Democracy abso
lutte control of the executive and legis.
lative branches of the Government and
enable it to pass any tariff bill it might
choose. The hope in such situation
of obtaining enough Democratic votes
which joined with the Republican votes
could defeat a disastrous reduction OF
the tariff is too chimerical for calculation
And vet the Southern Protectionists
propose to take just this risk after con-
sidering all the circumstances.
There are two explanations of the
course they have decided upon. Either
they confidently expect to see the
Democratic party defeated in the COM
ing campaign, or local prejudices have
not softened enough as yet to warrant
them IN cutting loose from their old
political anchorage. In any event 1t is
best that the friends of Protection in
The North should understand the sltua-
ton. The full force of the attack of
the Free-traders will fall upon them.
There is a strong probability that with a
united Republican party and vigorous
campaign Virginia and West Virginia
may be carried, but beyond these states
no assistance can be expected. Some
Republican congressman may be chosen
in North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky
and Missouria, but no electoral votes
towards the election OF Republican
president can be hoped for from the
South outside the two Virginias. This
much is made clear thus early in the
campaign.
