THE METHODIST GENERAL CONFERENCE

The General Conference Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church will assemble in Omaha to-
morrow under hopeful auspices. During the
four years since it last met in this city the
growth and prosperity Of the Church have been
marked. The bishops pastors and mission
aries have been faithful and Jealous. New
churches have been built at the rate Of about
one a day, and the moral influence of the de-
nomination has been powerfully cxcrtcd in
many good causes. In spite Of the croakings
of few pessimists the vital and spiritual en-
ergy Of the Church does not appear 10 have
lessened. and its outlook for the future is bright
with promise.
OF course, it has its burning questions and
vexatous problems. OF course Also 1t has to
recognize certain weak spots in its machn-
ery. and face the fact that there is a scamy
side TO its achievements. For ii is pre-eminent-
" Church militant, and claims no infallible
freedom from mistakes. Moreover, it is a
Church in which the human equation plays a
large part. It's constitution is a strange blend
ing of Imperialism and democracy, admirably
adapted, indeed, for doing good and aggressive
work but at the same time possessing all the
defects of its virtues Its rulers, being human.

of their zeal and ambition have doubtless at
times been tempted to indulge in doubtful p0-

The baseball season has opened in all its
old time glory. and the crowds at the games
and the popular interest manifested in the con-
tests have be6a greater than even the most
sanguine enthusiasts dared to anticipate. If
the games thus far played can be accepted as
criterion, the season will be one of surprises
and of brilliantly contested battles. New

Tomorrow night will witness the inaugu-
ration at Madison Square Garden of the Actors
Fund Fair. The event itself, and the scene in
which it will be set, will be dramatic and
artistic in the highest sense and besides con-
t,ibutine to a most worthy charity it will give
much innocent pleasure, both to those who take
nart in il and those who visit it. Of its finan-
cial success there can be no possible doubt, as
il starts with goodly sum in hand, and it is
sure to be visited by everybody who is any
body in and around New-York. The dead
head, moreover, will be conspicuous by his
absence. In no othe- city but New-York could
such a colossal enterprise have been launched
into success and the citizens of the greatest

show their generous appreciation of the busy
artists who have spent so much labor on II
