One Of the big projects OF the times. which
has been spoken Of in the British press. Is the
formation Of some sort Of an alliance between
all the English-speaking countries Of the
world" from the British Isles to the United
States. from the New Dominion to the Austria
lssiau colonies. Another big projeet Of the
times 10 that which was brought under debate
In the recent Pan.Amerioan Congress. and
which may be developed through Secretary
BLAIHEs reciprocity treaty. Still another big
project is that Of the Pam Republic Congress.
by which all the republics on all the continents
Of the globe are to form league of mutual
peace and affection. 1t would bs vain TO set
up any opposition to any Of these big projects:
but 1t Is evident that they cannot all bs carried
out at the same time. or. II We may SO speak.

The New Challenge Cup.

Concerning the deed Of gift which pre-.
seribes tho conditions for yacht matches for

previously said . good deal, says now:

q challenging yacht must declare, In addl-
ton to its "lensth at load water line," are
the requirements regarded in England a.
inadmissible, and having failed In hav-
ing them stricken out OF the conditions
governing the Americas cup. a new
challenge cup has been announced by
tho Royal Victoria Yacht Club. for which
the "length at load water line" is ell the
information about itself that an ambitious
yacht need give to the holder. The regula-
tions are printed elsewhere In THE SUN.
Allowing all proper commendation for
suoh an addition to the list Of yachting
prizes. this now cup can have no interest for
American yachtsmen beyond its effect for on.
couraging races between yachts OF England
and Of countries In Europe No American
boat can entsrtain tho idea OF compet-
ing for 1t. The America cup. the emblem
OF international yachting supremacy bril-
lianty won and splendidly kept, is not
to be put ssids into permanent obscurity
because Of our unsuccessful chsllengers'
displeasure at the terms ON which it ID held.
It must remain what 1t Ia until the holder
discredits 1t voluntarily. II discredit Is ever
to be brought upon II. In no other way or
by no Other authority can 1t be discredlted
or supplanted. and no American yacht, there
fore, will bs likely to take part In the effort to
abolish tho America cup as the great prize
OF the yachting world. for that is certainly
the idea that has animated the Victoria
Yacht Club by racing for the possession Of
its intended successor.
As an object for international competition,
80 far as this country 10 concerned. the new
challenge cup can have no serious consider
alton until the America cup has been won
back to England, and tho British yaohtsmsu
thereby acquire the right to select the cup
they prefer to represent all that 10 best

Women in Church and State.

So far as reported. the Methodist churches
have voted against the proposition to per-
NIT the admission Of women as lay dele
gates to the General Conference, the su-
preme legislative body Of tho communion,
and the Indications arc that tho Church a. q
whole will decide In the same way.
Perhaps the result would be different II
the interest In the question were keon
enough to affect MethodIsts generally and
bring out large vote; but the elections
seem to be going by default only a small
part of the membership having any concern
In them. Even the great mass of tho women
themselves show much indifference, and
some Of them are In the opposition, though,
Of course, they could bring about tho In
novation easily II they were 80 minded. Yet
there is no communion In which women are
more prominent In religious activities.
They are accustomed to taking part In
all Methodist undertakings. and they do
not by any means remain silent In
the churches. As In other communionA tho
pious zeal and deep religious sentiment OF
women are the mainstay OF the pastors. Re-
vivals and spiritual awskenings would be
impossible without them. and Methodlsm

are content to remain as they are. They do
not care to extend the sphere OF their infiu.
ence and privileges In the Church, Like wo-
men generally, they are conservatives. and
prone to criticism rather than commenda-
tton Of any OF their sisters who strive to eet
beyond the bounds set by convention. They
are entirely satisfied, II they do not actually
prefer, to be represented by their brethren
In tho legislature OF the Church.
Thus they exhibit the feeling OF nine
tenths OF women with regard to secular pol
tiles also. Forty or fifty years Of agitation
for woman suffrage have not changed that
feminine sentiment, though during the pe-
riod the sphere OF women's activities has been
so far enlarged that 1t includes every en-
ployment from which they are not shut out
by actual physical incapacity. Their preju-
dice against public life has been conquered.

Some Of the journals and leaders Of the
Farmers Alliance are already boasting that
the Alliance will have national ticket In the
Held In 1892, and that meanwhile its schemes
Of legislation will be strongly urged by its
representatives In Congress-. This rosy fu-
ture, however, is OF no great interest at
present, save 10 the politicians In and out Of
the Alliance who hope to get once or to
make something out Of other political organ
isations by selling its votes. BY 1892 1t may
have ceased to have any power, and its de-
scent may be as rapid as its rise has been.
Nor u 1t likely to be able to do much mis-
chief In tho next Congress-. There will be too
many Democrats in that body for the prepos-
terous paternalism Of measures like the ag-
xioultural Sub Treasury plan. But there
may be an element OF danger to invested
capital In the control Of certain State Legls-
lAtures BY the Farmers Alliance. Many wild
notions, such as laws for the prevention
OF foreclosures. stay laws and the like.
have had strong support In some OF the
county Alliances. Hostility to railroads and
. disposition to interfere with them arbi-
trarilY and to dx rates at a point which
means no dividends. have been common to
all granger movements; and the Farmers
Alliance, with Its belief In tho Government
control OF the railroads. is no exception
Extreme vlews are likely TO come to the

about increasing their investments In the
