Upon one important and interesting matter
which will be sure to be discussed and which,
after many years of agitation, may be acted
upon by the General Conferences, the Philadel-
phia delegates will be unit. This is the cues
tion of the election of the presiding elders by
the preachers. The bishops will vigorously op-
pose this scheme. They now have the full con-
troll of the appointment of presiding elders as
well preachers and each bishop at the con-
ference which he presides 10 all potent.
The taking away of the power Of appointments
to the most important posts in the conference
would make great difference. But the Phla-
delphia Conference is in favor of it, and the
effort which will be made TO bring about the
change will be very strong In this
nection also will come the proposition To extend
the term limit from three to five years, to
make the appointments hold only from year -
year, with the RIGHT TO reappoint preacher IN
definitely. This fSsser proposition. If sueceSsf .
would virtually revolurionize the Methoui
Church system and probably abolish the term
limit altogether. The Philadelphia delegates
at least most OF them. are Ia favor OF sonss
change which will give greater ffexibiliiy 10
the term system. but are undecided as TO what
shape the proposed change should take There
is every reason to suppose that some decided
change will be made. The older conferences
favor change, but the new conferences are
opposed to it.

DRAWING THE COLOR LINE.
A Few Christians Who Do Not Want Every
body to Enjoy the Privileges They Have.

The monthly meeting of the Young Mems
Christian Association. last evening, was marked
by very lively discussion on the subject OF
admitting colored people as members OF the So
ciety. The subject was brought mp by an
amendment which was offered to the constitu-
ton, rather by the proposed insertion of
clause excluding colored people from member
ship. AS the constitution now reads, any one
is eligible for membership who is of good moral
character. There are at present no colored
members, but of late two three have made
appication--in fact, have applied several times
but were refused admittance The president
stated that he had made such refusal on the
ground that determinations existed against
coored persons in the churches in the
city. aud that if they were permissible there
they were in the Y M. G. A., yethe hoped the
association would take some action in the mat
ter in order that be might know what to do in
the future.
Tie support of the amendment seemed TO
come chiefly from theyounger members. several
of whom declared that if colored persons were
admitted to the association they would leave it.
Others, however denounced it. and favored
the admission OF colored men 30 all the
privileges white members enjoyed Among
these were DIR. Jenckes and DIR. Jeffrey. TIE
former said that the statement of the chairman
that discrimination against the colored people
existed in all the churches in the city. was
a mistake. he had some colored
members in his own church, and on next Sun-
day expected 10 confirm Others who were rela-
tives of ex-senator Bruce. DIR. Jeffrey declared
that white and black were free and equal and as
there no bondage in heaven. there should be
none in the I. H. G. a. The opposition Of
these two clereymen was rather unexpected TO
those urging the amendment, and DR. Jenckes's
statemsnt that there we're colored people mem
bers OF bis own church was especially an eye-
opener. The consideration of the amendment
WAS finally dropped without any action being
taken one way another. Il is understood.

The Outlook for Fruit.

ST.. Louis, April 17,-Infcrmation derived
from the officers of she State horticultural
condition of the fruit crop in practic-
ally all the Embarrassing sections of the
entire country. Peaches are rated at
about half a crop. Pears will be light. The
apple CROP particularly in the West and South,
viii be larger than last year, but New YORK and
other Eastern States will yield lightly. The
East, however, will have plenty of other fruits.
The strawberry crop will be the lightest in
ten years. Missouri. Kent1cky, Tennessee
and Arkansas will have but about half crop;
Mississippi has o fair crop; Texas not enough
for home use. while the Louisiana crop has been
greatly injured by rain. The Crane crop
promises to be better than Cor several years.
The vegetable supply OF the West and South
will be large as compared with last years out
put, and the Western markets are already
crowded by Southern shippers with the crops
maturing this early. Unfsvorable Weather is,
however. reducing the supply to some extent in
several of the Southern States, but enough will
remain to supply the demand.
