The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1891-10-27

Several OF the BAzoo's exchanges
are inclined to be facetious over the
approaching fate of Thomas William
SOD, the man who in one short week
will pay the penalty of his crimes on
The scaffold. And yet with an awful
death hanging over him there is poor
food for facetiousness, poor cause for
jokes and it il in distinctly bad taste
to indulge in them. Old, fiendless,
without one ray Of hope to cheer him,
there is nothing in his situation to
cause other than regret that q life
should have been % wasted, 30 per-
verted. The law has decreed that he
shall die an ignominious death and
there is no room for questioning this
decree, but in . calm andi disposition
ate frame of mind, there is doubtless
not . man or woman in Sedalia, who
will not in q measure stand under .
shadow next Saturday-not perhaps
Of pity, nor because they will think
that justice has miscarried, but be-
cause death in any form is to be
dreaded and our humanity has not
yet reached . point where it can be
callous to that mysterious something
which comes and goes-ftom where,
to where? 1t is doubtful if q single
tear will be shed for the nan who
might hsve been today . respected
and honored citizen instead of . red
handed criminal, when the moose has
doLe its fatal work, but it would IL
deed be a most hardened man or
woman who could jest under such
awful circumstances.

LONDON, Oct. 2a.-Mr Gladstone has
put his home rule bill in such definite form
Is 70 enable him at any moment to place it
before the country. Earl Spencer. Mr..
Morley and Sir William Vernon Harcourt
have aided him in shaping the political
features, while Lord Herchell especially
form.
Regarding the principles Of the new
measure. enough has been officially ascer-
tanned to enable ene to state that IL gives
the proposed Irish legislature fuller
powers than did the bill of 1855. 1t re-
tains the lower and upper house of the
Irish parliament, vests the appointment of
the judiciary in the Irish executive and
maintains q larger representation Of Ire
land in the imperial parliament The
complete questions Of financial relations
and the control Of the police are also
settled.
Now that John Redmond is the acknowl-
edged leader Of the Parnellites, only Nc
Carthyite partisans decry the choice of the
party. Impartial observers of Redmond's
career concur in testifyine Ito his
ability and nodesty Of character.
Mr.. Parnell selected him as having
kindred qualities Of his own. He is
thoughtful, with q gravity and reticence
OF manner fitting him for the confidence
OF the party. He Is q good platform
speaker and an able parliamentary de-
batter 1t Is not probable, however, that
he will develop capacity equal to sustain
ing the life OF his faction against such ire
mendous odds.
The present game Of the McCarthyites
Is An attempt to blight the budding Infiu-
ence Of John Redmond by branding him
As traitor TO Mr. Parnell Mr. Dillon in
his speech At Wexford said it was notori-
Gus that Redmond was about to desert
Parnell just before the latter was stricken
down, and had refused to accompany his
leader to speak at Listowell and Greagh.
1t filed him Dillon with disgust to see
such . man deserving the cause because he
saw 1t going down hill
The dnal hope Of the restoration Of
party unity rests with Michael Davitt II
he refrains from throwing his whole influ-
ence on the side Of the McCarthyites and
uses his personal power in . quiet policy
Of CANCELLATION, he will in time reconstitute
the Irish party. II he assents to contest
Kilkenny, thus throwing the gage Of battle
70 the Farnellites, the feud Will be eternal.
When interviewed to-day he talked a. il
he was entirely committed to the majority.
William Lawies Jackson, whose appoint
ment ss Irish secretary is indefinitely an

pie as we'll, to in the least darken or
impede her progress as city Of power
and importance.

Methodism in all parts of the world
has been represented at the great ecu
menical conference in Washington.
Perhaps no other religious body can
show such marvellous growth as this
one and certainly none can claim to
WELD a greater influence among the
masses, The present upheaval in the
theological world is perhaps of less
concern to the Methodists than to any
other of the evangelical bodies. Like
the Salvation army the Methodist
church exalts the influence of prac-
teal religion. Its leaders and teach
ers are doubtless anxious to see the
outcome of the controversies resulting
from 'higher criticism" but the rank
and file Of the methodist army are re-
ligionists rather than theologians.
America was an appropriate
place for holding an ecu.
menicaI conference of methodism,
for the reason that upon American
soil methodism has had its most phe-
growth. There is something
analogous between the freedom Of
conscience guaranteed by the Ameri.
can constitution and the simple rights
of worship preserved by this coemo-
poliian religious body. And yet the
present conference revealed the fact
that there is not . country on the
face of the globe where melhodism
has not erected its pioneer chapels.
That it is q missionary church in the
truest sense of the term is proved by
the fact that its church extension
societies are building new churches or
chapels at the rate of one each two
hours every working day the year
round. Such records of church pro-
gress are perhaps the most convincing
demonstration of these days of doub.
and unbelief that the spirit of pract
teal religion is not dead.

After such . political convulsion as
