constructs the story in his W mind
so as to strongly uphold the side
he favors. All this may be
done without the least dishonesty.
The process is almost unconscious,
and the tendency is irresistible. Thus,
in long thinking a man may easily
substitute his own understanding or
misunderstanding of what his friend
said, for what the friend really
said or meant. He may substitute
his OWE conclusions or differences for
facts, and not really recognize that he
is doing so. He may so alter the order
of occurrences, in thinking them over
in his mind. as to wholly change their
bearing and effect, and yet he
may not mean dishonesty. All this is
familiar to lawyers. We believe it
is generally granted that the testi-
mony on a second trial of a case is in
the Ease of intelligent witnesses much
more definite and satisfactory" on

llwhile all the contradictions between
1.-THE two sides are accumulated in a
llnotable degree.
But the odd idea that is forced on

Ills that the expert mind, when re-
tanned for partisan work is sub
ject to a similar operation. OF
course. all the gentlemen in this case
are above suspicion. They could not be
hired to swear to anything which they
did not consider scientifically true.
| They unquestionably believe that
they are all right and the opposing
experts all wrong. and both sides are
equally positive. 1t appears then
that the power of reshaping facts, OF
regrouping them, or whatever you
| please to call it, can go on in the
scientific brain and a be applied to
scientific observations just as well as
to matters of ordinary experience.
Consciously or unconsciously, the
| scientists can only see one side of their
case, and all knowledge adapts itself
| to the necessities of that view.
There is n person who deserves

the Sheriff says he will resign rather

customary to hang murderers in that
section, but a man who accepts the
office does it at that risk, for there is

1t is hardly necessary for the Salyers-

A Grtat Methodist Gathering.
THE ECuarKNIcAL COUNCIL TO MEET
IN WASHINGTON NEXT MONTH.

Representative Mcthodists from al
parts of the world will assemble in
Washington, d. c., on October 18th,
next. to hold the second Ecumenical
Conference. The only other similar
conference ever held was in London
ten wears ago, when it was decided to
convene decade later in the capital
citv of the United States. The object
of these great gatherings is to discuss
matters pertinent to Methodism ard
Incidentally to wipe out any differ
cnces that may exist in the Church
of the old and new worlds. The con-
ference has no legislative power
whatever. This fact gives the dis
tinguished bishops, preachers and
layinen who attend a chance to dis
yect church affairs in IL much frccr
manner than they could were official
duties to devclvc upon them.
This conference will represent
nearly Il, 600, 900 Methodists and will
be attended by over 500 delegates
from America ard 200 from other
parts of the globe. AS these 500 are
thinkers and educators an impetus
will be given to church work and a
new zeal injected into church plans.
The project of establishing a great
university, which has been proposed
by Bishop Hurst, for the higher edu
cation of Methodists, is sure to get
attention. The plan is to found
great school at Washington to be
under the direct control of the Meth
odist Church.
Two sessions will be held daily
from October until October 20, and
several night gatherings will take
place. The opening sermon is to be
delivered by Rev. DR.. Vim. Arthur,
of London. Fifty-nine stated adj
dresses will be made by representa-
tive delegates. and fully that many
more informal ones will be delivered.
1.-The Deaconess Movement is one
of the interesting topics to be dis
cussed.
.'Romanism" and "Romanism as q
Political Power will monopolizc o
whole days deliberations. An Irish
and an Englishman
will each speak on the latter ques-
ton. Missionary work, the saloon
problem, labor disturbances, lotteries
and kindred gambling, marriage and
divorce laws, the Sabbath day, and
theatres and other amuselnents will
all come in for u share of the ECU

Let any considerable portion of
Southern farmers, says the Lynch
| urg Advance. desert the Democratic
arty and join in the new political
novement. and what will be the eff
feet? Not the triumph of the third
rarity, that is impossible; but the
triumph of our old enemy, the Re-
ubiican party, which would seize
lie opportunity afforded by our di-
vision, and backed by the colored
cohorts. to gain control of every
Southern State government.
a familiar acquaintance with many
members of the Alliance on the East
e,n Shore, and the free expression of
their opinion in regard to the third
party movement. induces the belief,
that no descrtiors need be expected
in this section. Our farmers, while
having ills which need to be RENE
died, have too much patriotism to
hope for the remedy by breaking up
old party ties. and too much wisdom
10 expect it by that means, if they
we're willing to make the sacrifice.
IN fact, TIE Alliance men on the East
crn Shore are almost without eX
ception Democrats, and their inter-
ests in all respects are too identical
to be at variance with each other.
The Alliance could hardly make any
demand OF the Democratic party
Lere which would not be acceeded TO,
and any Democrat elected to the Leg
islature, whether of the Order or not,
would doubtless serve them accept
ably. 1t is to be hoped, that the
same confidence exists between the
Alliance men aud Democrats all over
the South, as it is hard to conceive Of
a condition more deplorablc than to
be handed over to our old enemy
by dissensions among Democrats, be-
cause of a difference of opinion among
them in some matters.

Colorcd Cotton pickers' Organization.

INV ORLEANS, September IA
Galveston special gives information
concerning an organization OF color
ed cotton-pickers who have agreed
not to pick cotton after September
I'd, for less than one dollar per hun
bred pounds and board. This organ
ization has been perfected through
the Colored Alliance, and now num-
Der more than half a million, with
thousands being added every day
throughout the Southern States.
Colonel II. y. Humphrey, general
superintendent of the Colored Alli-
ance, admitted the existence of this
organization, saying, lit had been
induced by organizations some time
ago of planters and merchants in
certain sections, notably Memphis
and Charleston, to reduce the prices
for picking to II very low standard.
and that the colored pickers had
combined toprotect themselves, from
this dictation, and he thought they
would be able to do so.'' 1t is learn
ed Il secret circular has been mailed
at Houston to every surveillance
throughout the cotton belt, fixing
the date when strike of cotton pick
crs will be simultaneously inaugural
cd, and how itshall be conducted.
HOUSTON. TEX, September IA

ton pickers throughout the State.
1t says that the new organization Of

for the strike of that body unless
their demands for 81 for every 100
pounds of cotton picked are granted.
