Lively Attempt TO Nnsont "a DtNtne IN a
Chnroh Conference.
SHAMoKIN, Pa, Feb IS The Eastern
Pennsylvania Evangelical conference has
opened here, with 1865 ministers present
Four elders preferred charges against Bishop
Esher, who had opened the conference The
charges were OF such a nature that the conn
mittee considered trial necessary, and
fixed March 10 as the time for trial, at
Reading
These are the same charges that were pre-
ferred against Bishop Esher in Chicago In
vest1gation last December resulted In his
acquittal. They embrace SANDER, lying,
fomenting church strife and general peace
disturbing. Certain members Of the CON
ference want the bishop to submit TO an
other investigation by this conference, and
his refusal to entertain motions 10 that ef-
feet was the cause OF very spirited con-
troversy, which took up all Of the first days
session. The bishop refused to offer an ex-
PLANTATION to the charges, claiming that he
had been tried and acquitted. Rev DR..
sayer then presented the following;
Resolved, That we declare it TO be our
candid opinion that Bishop Esher Is disqual-
filed TO preside over this conference, and we
therefore ask him TO vacate the chair.
Bishop Esher would not entertain this
motion, declaring IL illegal and saying:
"You do not expect mo 70 entertain this
motionr
Rev. Mr.. Stlrk replied III you do not
shall appeal from your decision
Bishop Esher said: ~ won't entertain lt
/ won't vacate. Would 70 God had never
obligatedln
sAmenif choruBea the conference.
hDon't interrupt exclaimed the bishop
In the presence OF God the charges are
false. ! have been tried at home, and you
must inquire whether or not / was ac-
quilted. This Ia contrary to all precedent
/ am amendable to the general conference
You shall not remove me; l remain here -
A resolution was then presented by Rev
Mr.. Hanna declaring that Bishop Esher
was ian improper person 20 preside over
this conference" but the bishop would not
recognize the motion for It's adoption.
Rev. Mr.. Leopold then spoke, saying the
dissensions la the church bordered on an
archy, and that the organization was threat
ened with dissolution. The business session
then closed for the day.

The First Democratic Governor of Iowa
In Thlrty-four Years.

IN AhtrtF-four Years
DEs MONIES, Ia, Feb. 2s Governor Boies
was yesterday afternoon inaugurated in the
hall of the house of representatives as the
first Democratic chief executive of the state
elected in thirty-four years AS became the
occasion, the capitol was gayly decorated
with flags and patriotic emblems The mill
itary parade, conducted by Adjt Gen. Bee
son as marshal, comprised the National
Guards Of Burlington, Sioux City, Ottumwa,
Dubuque aud Des Moines, and was ono OF
the most imposing pageants ever witnessed
in Iowa.
In his inaugural address Gov Boies com
preheusively reviewed those questions which
at present attract the attention of the peo-
pie Of the state. With regard to the rail.
way situation the governor said: prior 70
our present laws the purchaser OF transpor.
tation was at the mercy Of the railway com
panies They abused their power, and to
gain great dividends individual and public
rights were alike sncrifced.n
In speaking of the prohibitory law, the
governor said that from its inception 10 the
present time it had been despised and ig-
nored ia most Of the large cities OF the
state The use of Intoxicating beverages
had not diminished but the millions Of
capital invested by citizens in the traffic
had been calmly wiped ont without a pre-
tence of compensating those who were
ruined as a consequence of such action.
Enforcement OF the law had meant the i'm.
poverishinent Of those interested in the bust
ness
The governor said that, in his Judgment
the fact that the law was cruel violation
OF one Of the most precious OF human rights
constituted the chief obstacle to its enforce
ment
The platf ans Of the different politica
parties were then referred to by Governor
Boies to show that no political issue wa
ever more clearly presented TO or NOR,
thoroughly understood by the masses thar
that Of legislative prohibition in Iowa b,
the people OF the state during the last cam
paign. The people had passed upon the is
sue, and those localities so desiring were en-
titled to the benefits Of carefully frame,

The Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburgh Coal

at work guarded by a force of about 200
police, and the new men stay within the

the 900 men who are out. 1t will be neces-

a BAp PKECEDENT.

In Fridays CALL Mr.. David Meeker sug-
IN axe up purse of SO, Go0 as an inducement
to him to accept another term in Congress.
THE CALL has urged the nomination OF Mr..
Morrow. but cannot indorse the proposition
of Mr.. Meeker. There would be no harm
in an arrangement by which bis campaign
expenses should be paid by the committee
having that business in charge, but any
pecuniary gift would injure his standing as
politician. Some forty odd years ago
Daniel Webster declined denomination to
the Senate On the ground that the salary
attached to the Office was insufficient for his
support Mr.. Webster's friends collected
$4,000 with no other purpose in view tan
to remove an obstacle in the way of Mr.
Webster's continuance in the Senate. He
had conferred great distinction on the State,
and its citizens did not like the idea of sup
planting him with an average Senator. While
the sum offered Mr.. Webster was no more
than he could earn in his law practice, his
acceptance of it was the vulnerable point
in his record when a party sprang into ex-
istence which wanted more radical man
than Mr.. Webster in the Senate. 1t was
charged that he was in the pay of private
parties and consequently not in full sense
of the term representative Of the people
of the State. Ii Mr.. Morrow regards his
services in the House as a personal sacrifice
he should be allowed to retire. There are
reasons why lie should remain 10 the House,
out they do not warrant sacrifice of his
independence.

RUCKLEY AND POND.

Mayor Pond is said to feel aggrieved that
after his long fight with Buckley he should
still be considered in league with Buckley.
The long fight" lives only in Mr.. Ponds
conversation. Mr.. Ponds opposition to
Buckley has not been sufficiently effective
to convince MIR. Buckley that Mr.. Pond is
not a good man to have at the head of his
ticket. Ii Mr.. Pond has been fighting
Buckley, Buckley has not been aware of
the fact. He has carried his measures over
Mr.. Ponds head in all cases when Mr.. Pond
has not been party to them. at San Jose
Buckley had two candidates besides Pond,
either of whom he could have nominated.
But he chose to nominate Pond. The inte-
rIor press are unanimous in the opinion
that Pond was Buckley's first choice. The
Santa Cruz Sentinel says; Buckley could
have nominated either Coleman or English.
Buckley chose Pond, and Pond is Buckeyes
man." The Record Union says that POND
fell down before Buckley and secured his
nomination at his hands" The Gilroy Ga
aette says: at was Buckeyes power that
swung the vote from Coleman to Pond. 1t
is idle to suppose that in return for that
there has been no bargain" These are the
opinions of reputable papers which have
no feeling against Pond growing out of the
antagonisms of municipal politics. The in
terror press was inclined to favor Pond IN
til the manner of his nomination disclosed
his relations with Buckley. Some Of the
Democratic papers are inclined to the opin-
ion that Pond may assert himself in the
event of his election. has he ever done so
in his capacity of Mayor of San Francisco?
When has he held the INSCRIPTIONS boss
of his party in check? Boss rule does not
admit Of independent action on the part of
officials. Governors and Mayors, Legisla-
lures and Boards of Supervisors are the
means by which the boss accompanies his
,nds. To grind out the best results the ma
chine should have but one master The
hand that can give political life or carry out
the sentences of political death is the only
one visible to the crowd that live by doing
the work of a master. Mr.. Pond may CHATS
at the thought of being held in public esti-
nation as receiving Instructions from Buck
ley, but he failed to accept the alternative
when he discovered at San Jose that he
could not secure nomination independent

A TEAcHHK.s compLA1Nr.

A teacher in our public schools writes
that ''the term of the Office of the Supervi
sors and of the School Directors has almost
expired and yet we have not received the
back salary which they pledged themselves
TO pay us. Are there any hopes of our get
ting it?"
The CALL cannot hold out any hopes
from the existing boards The money to
pay the back salary with was collected
from the people in the form of tax on
property which was not known to exist
when the levy was made. 1t has been esti-
mated that about Sl60, 000 would remain in
the treasury at the close of the fiscal wear,
that being the amount of the tax on the ex-
cess Of taxable property over the limit. But
the Board Of Supervisors have reported this
surplus as exhausted. The report of the
Finance Committee some weeks ago showed
now 1t had been distributed, or at least,
how its disap earance was accounted for.
We do not know Of any fund from which
the money to pay these back salaries can be
obtained until the expiration of the next
fiscal year. The allowance made for the
SCHOOL Department will not more than pay
current expenses; in fact, it will be some
thing new if there is not deficit. Teach
ers may hold Supervisors and School Direc-
tors politically responsible for their failure
to keep their pledges, but financial respon.
sibility is quite another thing. The CALL
will certainly do what it can to give the
teachers an honest board, but the teachers
should help themselves by using their influ-
ence to nominate and elect men of charac-
ter to official positions

HOW A GREAT FIRE STARTED.
Woman With Burning Dress Causes

Woman With Burning Dress Causes
Destruction.
How the terrible fire which has destroyed
the village of Moor, in Hungary, originated
is thus told by our Vienna correspondent:
a farmers wife was ironing in her kitchen,
using tiat-iron filed with charcoal, when
spark flew out and set fire to her muslin
dress. In her fright she ran into the court
yard, where her husband and his people
were thrashng barley. The barley caught
fire from her, and was no sooner ablaZe than
the wind blew the sparks in all directions,
setting fire to the matched roofs of the
houses which stood In two long rows FORM
ing the main street. All was so sudden and
the people were SO dumfounded that for a
little time they could not even call for help.
Most of the heads of families were in the
vineyards. and their help was not available
until they had been recalled by the alarm
bell. The old people and children in the
houses had not presence of mind enough to
save themselves.
In Hungary it has not rained for long
time, and the wells contained no water, so
that nothing could be done to save even
single house. In all 109 houses were de-
strOyed, and 1874 families are without roof
above their heads. The harvest was over
and the corn in the barns was consumed in
the general confagration, which was ter
ribe spectacle as night came on. Ten bod
les have been found, and some children are
missing. Nearly everybody in the neigh
borhood is suffering from burns received in
rescue woIk.-London Daily News.
