II TIKI demegogues in Congress, instead
OF creating Department OF Agriculture, for
the publication of reports, which nobody ever
reads, aud the distribution OF sorghum and
worthless garden seed, had created bureau
of rosGs, for the construction, improvement
and maintenance Of roads throughout the
entire limits OF the country, which they
could have done under the clause OF the
Constitution relating TO post roads, tney
woald have bestowed real and PRACTICAL
bsnetis upon the farmers. The matter Is
zoo general, in portsnt and expensive to be
entrusted 10 districts, counties or even
States. Ii should ba E national aHair, even
more so than tbs improvement OF rivers sno
narbose, AID if the Farmers Alliance woulc
sttiye for it, AID abandon some OF thsis Wild
and impossible schemes, its wisdom Is 80 ap-
parsnt that It would be adopted without
much difficulty. The money spent On
worthless nsV;es and Qualifications would
aIeo make the country roads of the United
States as good as those of Frsnca-tbe beat
In the world.

The Methodist Protestant Conference 10
Baltimore on Saturday settled the question
Of leaning ministers to the independent
Methodist Churches and to other place.,
which excited .u,h lively debate on Fri
day. The report of the committee was
adopted. This settled the question for this
wear in accordance with President S:rayer's
statement that the church had bound itself
to loan certain minis tsrs for this year; but
it came up In another form on resolution
presented by Mr.. J. 4. Cation, OF this city.
The resolution was made the special order
of business for Tuesday. The resolution Is
se follows:
That on and after the conference year OF
1892 the loan or appointment of ministers
from the conference to serve independent
churches loot Methodist Protestant In name
aud form Of church goVernment) be diFcon-
tinued.

debate, after which the report was adopted
by vote OF 50 for to Is against. So women

A delegate from Queen Anne's Circuit
said that the Methodist Episcopal Church
at his place employed women as stewards
aud as consequence the women qusrreled.
Mr. Cation replied to this that men also
