the Question.

New YORK, April 7.-Iu the Methodist
Episcopal Conference to-day the report
was read OF the committee appointed to
consider the memorial of the Presbyteri-
ans asking that committee of the con
ference meet committee Of the synod
for the purpose of arousiug the American
people to maintain the theory OF religion
and education. Ii stated that the idea
and origin of the government OF the
United States was for the development
of man as a rational being, and the sepa-
ration Of church aud stare cannot ueau
the separation of Christian morality and
state.
1t stated that ali efforts to expunge the
facts OF the Christian history AMI the
teachings OF Christian morality from the
text books of the public school would be
resisted.
The recent report of the Supreme
Court of Wisconsin regarding the reading
of the Bible in public schools was repudia
ted as ''un- American and pagan and a
menace to the perpetuity o: our institu

1t held that it Was the duty of Christian
citizens to deuy that the Bible was sec

for the duties of citizenship.

that separates the opposition from the
government and the other swinging
easily by his side, he begins, and the gal
ferries are radiantin the hope Of hearing a
great speech. They are disappointed.
Without making any effort to raise his
voice or any attempt at oratory, the old
man calmly points out in few words
the point of the discussion that the 9th
ers seem to have missed. and then sits
down.
There is an instant scurry in both the
House and its galleries, and in few
minutes both are comparatively empty.
The debate goes on. There are some
members who do not often get a chance
to speak, and this is their opportunity.
Gladstone waits until nearly midnight,
when he bundles up and disappears.
The other bigwigs follow him.
Meanwhile most of the members are
in the smoking rooms or the restaurant.
Here, in the smoking room, Henry
Labouchere, Sir Wlfrid Lawson, the
wit Of the House, II T. OConAor and a
few others make up group that is en-
ioying some good stories over their
chops. At another place some sons
of Lords who occasionally grace
the Commons with their presence,
and with little more, are dining with
some friends and are telling some
stories that are FAR from good. In an
other place group Of Irishmen, with
Joe Biggar and Tim Healey in their
midst, are enjoying themselves, while
at another table a couple Of young mem
bers fresh from debating school are tear
ing the speeches Of the night to pieces
and foreeasting the great day when
they will have the ear Of the House. At
this time the House has but few occu-
pants The thing IS dragging sadly
when a half-sleepy gentleman on the
government side moves that the debate
be adjourned Adjourned it is, and the
day work Of the Commons is over. The
restaurants are not yet closed, and until
far in the morning the policemen about
Westminster have their hands full in
looking after the welfare Of "Parlia-
mentary gents, as they call the august
mem bers.

1enses which come oftener than does
Office. There must be patriotism in
such gathering, particularly when it
is remembered that there were times
when the Irish members kept the
House in session from fifteen to twenty
one hours at a time.
At just little before three o'clock in
the afternoon the big blonde policeman
who stands at the door of the House of
Commons straightens himself up, scowls
at passing small boys and prepares for
business. At about the same time af-
fairs generally about the House take on
brisker air. Scores Of well-dressed
men of all ages begin to gravitate to-
wards the doors Of the House and among
them may be seen some women as well.
The ladies, however, are soon separated
from the others and. if properly supplied
with tickets, enter the House by door
near the entrance for members of the
House
The men are gathered in st. Stephens
Hall, where they are left sitting on the
benches running along the north side of
the hall until after prayers. Then

by the police. Those having tickets for
the speakers are ushered there in a
similar manner. Half a crown properly
placed while the trip is being made in
sures eivility and the acquiring of some
information. On entering the speakers
or the strangers gallery the sightseer
is confronted with big book presided
over BY small man. Here he writes
his name and address, which is com
pared with those given By the member

ant The rules of the House run back
more than two hundred years and an IN
ruly member can make good deal OF
trouble, no matter how familiar the
Speaker may be with them. SoSpeaker
Peel still looks askance at the Irish
benches at times when there is dis
position to break out there. Latterly,
however, their occupants have acted
with much decorum. While the spec
tators in the gallery are inspecting the
Right Honorable Speaker, his great
chair and mace and the interior decora-
tions of the House, other scenes are
transporting outside.
The members who enter GO in various
directions. Many go in on the floor in
order to secure good seats. Others go to
the smoking rooms to exchange stories
of one kind and another, while still
others linger in the lobby to discuss the
coming royal marriage, the royal grants,
Gladstone's golden wedding the Parnell
commission or any one of half dozen
other matters in which Englishmen are
interested just now. Finally most of
these drift into the House and it lse-
comes pretty well filled up
Then another rather excitable member
wants to know a good deal about Egypt
and if it is true that things there are
going to the eternal bow-wows This
Honorable Member" is told that the
affairs of her Majestys Empire are in a
glorious condition and that the govern
ment is thoroughly satisfied with mat
tiers generally. The honorable member
looks dubious, but he sits down. Then
an Irish member wants to find out
something about the arrest of another
Irish member while still another Irish
member desires some information about
recent evictions in Ireland. Under
Secretary Balfour answers these ques-
tions with the righteousness for which
he is now famous. He gives little or no
information, however, and an Irish
member tells him so. Balfour smiles
and says nothing. 1t was not his in
tention to give any information.
While this business is going on the
average American is apt to study the

A New Method of Treating
Disease.
nosrIrAL REMEpIEs

What are they? There IS new de-
parture in the treatment of disease It
consists in the collection of the specifics
used BY noted specialists of Europe and
America. and bringing them within the
reach of all. For instance the treatment
pursued by special physicians who treat
indigestion. stomach and liver troubles
only. was obtained and prepared. The
treatment Of other physicians. celebrated
for curing catarrh was procured, and so
on till these Incompatible cures now in
clude disease of the lungs. kidneys, fe-
male weakness, rheumatism and nery-
Gus debility
This new method of lone remedy for
one disease must appeal TO the COM
mon sense of all suffers, many of whom
have experienced the i'll effects and
thoroughly realize the absurdity of the
claims Of Patent Medicines which are
guaranteed 10 cure every i'll out of a
single bottle. and the use of which. as
statistics prove, HAS RUINED MORE

long breath. After the first pIelimi-
naries the Speaker settles back in his
great chair, ana the engine that moves
the British Empire is in working order.
The House begins 10 fill up, but the
really big men are not on the scene yet
They rarely hurry. But there are new
members and for that matter old ones,
too, who apparently believe that the
safety of the nation demands that they
shall be in their seats promptly AT the
hour for opening business. Then there
are others who have private bills that
they want TO advance and who are on
hand TO take advantage of the half hour
that is given to such business before
public affairs. There is big business
done in private bills in the House and
the methods Of doing n are not striking
ly different from those of American
Congressman.
But while the House is filing up the
spectators try to pick out their favorites.
Where is Gladstone?"
Il wonder if Parnell is here?"
Il wish ! could see Lord Randolph
Churchill"
Dear me! What funny old man on
the front bench"
Such are the expressions that are
whispered about the. gallery. None of
the notables being on hand attention
turns to the speaker, the Right Honorable
Speaker Peel, as he sits in wig and
gown, looks what he is, an upright, hon
orable man of fair abilities, not large
enough to lead great party, but com
petent enough for the position that he
holds, where he has only to adhere TO
the rules Of the House and be impartial.
For this he IS paid So, 600 per year and

irish party used TO make the life of the
Speaker an exceedingly unpleasant one,
but since the Irishmen and the Liberals
have been pulling together this has
altered and the position Of Speaker Of
the ancient House is not at all unpleas-

hot debates and fierce fights, hut they
are fought on different lines from those
fought out in the House Of Representa-
tiyes. For instance, il Is hard 70 be-
lieye that such dead-locks, such fill
clustering and such viciousness could be
putin a parliamentary battle here as
were displayed in the fierce fights that
smashed even party lines in the House
of Representatives last winter. One
thing that strikes the American here is
the absolute domination of the leaders
of the two great parties over their fol-
lowers. Mr.. Gladstone leads his party
as a general might lead an army and
the followers OF the government follow
their leaders with blind obedience.
Even the Liberal Unionists follow the
government leaders into the lobby with
all the docility of old party hacks
Il is nearly seven o'clock and various
matters have been attended to, when
there is roar outside the House of Com
mons. A carriage is driven swiftly up.
An aged man, but an active one, steps
lightly out of it and passes quickly in
amid the cheers of the crowd. II is the
Peoples William" himself, and some
of the crowd have stood for hours just
TO get glimpse of the old man. He
inclines his head right and left as ne
passes to his seat followed by cheers
from the Liberal and Parnellite benches
Reaching has seat he drops into it, folds
his arms and settles down to listen.
Some Of the biggest men in the House
are now in their places. w. II. Smith.

ment bench, mild, self-contented and

bench the Home Secretary, Mr.. II.

i position bench near Gladstone is Sit
William Vernon Harcourt, who seems
to be constantly improving as an enter
tanning parliamentary speaker, and oT
the other side is John Morley, who Il
looked upon as the coming man by many
Liberals. Among the Liberal UniOnist'
sits Gladstones old lieutenant, Lore
Harrington, the man who once refused
the Premiership of England because h'
thought the honor belonged to Glad
