be placed the blame for the condition of
affairs generally, and for the unfortunate
results that accrued from the inharmony,
! is still fairly matter of doubt, The
smirching of regulations that has been
undertaken by Barttelot's brother. BY
| Stanley and by Troup, will doubtless be
followed by the efforts of other members
of the expeditions; but whether anything
will be absolutely settled thereby re-
mains to be seen.
And to what good end will be all this
dispute? Stanleys position as the great
est African explorer of this generation, if
not of all time, is too firmly established to
be harmed by accusations or even proved
charges of unfair treatment of his subor-
dinateS. Success Is its own justification.
Stanley went into Africa to bring out
Emin Pasha, and possibly even to secure
the Germans stock of ivory. He made
wonderful march, and has contributed
much toward the ultimate subiugation
of Africa. He may have been severe,
dictatorial, even unreasonable if you will;
he may have made many and serious
mistakes; but the fact remains that he
accomplished what he set out to do.
Everything that is said to the detrac-
ton of Stanley may be true; we can reas-
Onably presume that much of it at least
is true and will be substantiated. But
granted all that, what good reason have
the subordinate officers TO complain?
They knew Stanley and the serious
ness of the work before them. They en-
gagged themselves freely, nay, eargerly,
for the work, and if they did not find the
African wilds bed of roses or their self
chosen commander an angel in disguise,
they should not now complain. They
were undoubtedly brave and capable
men, each in his own way, and whatever
their shortcomings may have been, they
are JOINT Partakers in all the glory that
may attach to the success of their joint
laborS. They should be satisfied with
that.
determinations are worse than useless
now. They will prove nothing more
than is generally understood already, and
they will not add to the reputation of
any one connected with the expedition.
1t is very foolish, unnecessary and
prOfitless controversy.

WOMEN IN THE CHURCH.

! From the Kansas City Star.
The issue of allowing women represen-
tation in the general conference of the
/ Methodist church is again up, and the vote
which has been taken on this question in
/ the various Methodist churches through
out the land is largely favorable to the
! proposition, as it ought to be. The
Christian church in general, and the
Methodist church in particular, owe their
vitality to the earnestneSs and zeal of
their female membership. The women
not only outnumber the men in ali of the
churches, but they Guido them in good
works and surpass them in devotion to
Christian duty. There are thousands of
men within the pale of the church today
who would not be there if they had not
been brought into the ark of safety by
their wives and mothers and sisters.
They have been ''snatched as brands
from the burning by the sweet
and gracious influences which are
being exercised by good women in
all of the relations of life.
The women of the Methodist church
are certainly deserving of the recogni-
ton which they claim at the
hands of the general conference. John
Wesley never sympathized with the
apostle in the idea that women should
keep silent. and even Paul, with all of
his dyspeptic ideas about the sex, COM
mended Phebe TO the brethren, admon-
ishing them to receive her in the Lord
as becOmeth saints, and to assist her in
whatsoever business she hath need of

The active participation of women in
the means of grace has always been
distinguishing feature of the Methodist
in the class meetings, exhort at the
altar and even preach with as
much acceptability as men, and, ner-
ally speaking, with more JUNCTION ard
sincerity. In the work of devising ways
and means for the material support of
the church the women are ALWAYS in
slant, i'll season and out Of season, and
all the ingenuity of their fertile brains is
constantly taxed in carrying on this
labor of love. The soc al features of
modern religion which invest the
churches with such strong power of
attraction are almost wholly the result !
of woman's work and would rapidly fall |
