VI +" lain oh Diaius suppose Ike
measure had been enacted In behalf of the
working man several years ago. That would
be much nearer true protection to the
laborer than any existing law. Yet we verv
much fear that these same foreign born Cit
:zens who now have such elaborate ideas of
the benefits resulting from the present tariff
would be much more inclined to curse than
bless what they at present misname, "Amer-
ica's protective system"

Sundays mail brought us copy of the
Montana Methodist, a church paper puD-
lf>hed at Helena, NJ. T., containing the fol-
lowing, with a request to "please publish"
We have no comment, but would like to
hear ''the other side'' of the case: al. Clay
Fleenor deserted his charge at Bozeman last
August and left under peculiar circumstance
es. On investigation by committee ap
pointed by the First Quarterly Conference at
BoZeman station, he was found 10 be guilty
of gross immortality under six specifications,
including fraud, enlightenment and lying.
copy of the charges was sent to him at
Dallas, Texas, where he was operating rs Il
Baptist preacher, and denouncing what he
called the Tyranny of Methodist Bishops |
and the iron rule of MethOdism." His reply |
to the charges was full of rude, foul epitheIs |
hurled against the two Presiding Elders. |
His language is too foul to be quoted. He |
denOunces all OF our preachers as STOOLS"
and made savage threats of what he would |
iO ii utdlI Nliu Ills WOTuS lOTCe us 10 De- |
ieve he is void of all moral honesty and de-
cency. At the session of the Second Quar-
terly Conference of Bozeman, held recently,
Fleenor'S letter was read, which only added |
insult to injury. The charges having all
been proven, the Quarterly Conference pro-
ceeded to eXpel HIM from the church, he
having been suspended from the ministry at
The First Quarterly Conference. We regret
10 thus chronicle the downfall of any man land !
specially Il minister, but in justice to our
selves and in behalf of the Church every
where, we give the public this information.
If any one desires further Information they
can get it by addressing Rev. L. b. Stateler,
Willow Greek, Montana" Such is the in
lictment bro ught against Mr.. Fleenor by the
UethOdiSt OF course, we know nothing of
he alleged facts, but if they are facts, the
party to whom they apply has sinned grieve-
'usly: yet, let us wait, and hear from the
accused, before making up a verdict foi eign
o our past knowledge and prepossessiOn.
