How Il II to discriminate In the assault

ture to determine how and how much
| wealth may be accumulated, though the
rapid accumulation OF enormous wealth "
seems to be an evil In their eyes. The run
OF men. however. are anxious to get rich as
fast as possible. and they are not troubled
with any fears about the wealth being too
enormous. The bigger the pile the better
they will like 1t. whether they be Methodists.
Baptists. or Roman Catholics.
This is also the sentiment Of the African
Methodists. and they express 1t with COM
mendable frankncss. At the General Confer
ence Of one OF their branches at Pittsburgh
on the same day. Bishop MOORE exhorted
the colored Methodlsts to accumulate
money. He urged on them the necessity
Of getting wealth. saying that 1t would be
the means Of lifting the negro race from us
present condition. For years past the COL
ored Methodist preachers. ut the south
more particularly. have been making
this same appeal to their flocks. Put
money in thy purse. Is their persistent
cry: and It is uttered not less loudly
in tho quarterly magazine which represents
tho best intellectual cultivation and most
devout religious spirit Of the colorcd peo-
ple. They cannot hope to advance In the
social scale. soy these monitors OF their
race. unless they accumulate wealth and
consequently advance in refinement OF liv-
ing: and the more rapid the accumulation
the better.
The Bishops at Omaha are consistent In
their opposition to the liquor traffic. They
do not assail tho saloon and excuse drink
Ing Mt home: nor do they justify preacher
In drinking beer at night with naked
women and then applaud him for going
away from the vile resort to close
up beer shops. They counsel total alb
stlnence everywhere and under all cir
cumstances. They advocate the closing
up OF the saloons altogether. not merely
on Sundays and after 1 o'clock at night.
complete legal prohibition Of the traffic
as tho rigid duty OF tho State" is their
consistent ground. Assailants OF the sa-
looms who smell Of liquor themselves. get no
countcnance from these Methodist Bishops.
They are consistent also in opposing tho
prohibition OF all Chinese immigration as
Christian and inhuman. They would guard
the franchise by lengthcning tho time Of
apprenticeship for Its enjoyment by immi-
grants" They look on "the secular press
as tho most masterful force developed by
our modern civilization" but they think It's
moral and religious tone may be improved.
and this Is undoubtedly true. Every paper

sound and elevated in its moral principles.
and faithful to its obligations to GOD.
Finally. the Bishops urge and long for
the union OF tho separated branches Of the
Methodist family. with its total member
ship OF almost five millions. They ought |
to como together. Divisions which are
and In race only. ought not |
to continue. The champions OF the same
faith ought to rally under the same colors. |
and it would be an immense blessing II |
tho union could extend so far rs to include |
and Catholics in ono great army |

A Philadelphia Statistics Manufacturer.

One OF the objects OF the fraudulent CEN

pose OF showing that Philadelphia was o

delphia on Wednesday. In the course Of
IN investigation into tho census Of manu-
features In that city. evidence was found
which was considered sufficient to justify
tho arrest OF ono HENRY HUSTON. an
snumerator employed by Special Agent
THOMPSON. Huston was charged with
forgery and making fraudulent returns.
Tho charges were made on the strength OK
two returns put in by HUSTON. He had
credited journeymnn cigarmaker. who
mado up perhaps fifty dollars worth OF
tobacco In 1890, with manufacturing cigars
and tobacco to the value OF $1,000. The
ctgarmnler says that no never saw or
signed the schedule. A man who seems to
be journeynnn mason was credited as a
maker OF masonry. brick. and stone work.

A foreman Of n dyeing establishment, a
man who has never been carpenter or

It Is reported TINT out OF 80 OF HUsTONs
schedules IS are fraudulent. and according
to the Philadelphia papers there were other
enumerators who devoted themselves to
forgery and fiction. and other arrests will
follow. Hero are n few samples OF their
work: A man who cannot DO found ut an
address where thcro is stable is put

annual product OF $4,000. A real es-
tate agent named ALEXANDER KNoRR
appears on the schedules us ~. E.
KNoHR & Co.." carpenters. with an annual
output OF saO7. 900. OF course Mr.. KNoRR
had never seen the schedule. Tho thor
oughness with which the work OF fraud was
done is grmly illustrated In the case Of
return made by the statistics manufacturer
In the Twcnty-sccond ward. According to
the Philadelphia Record. he made u return
Of the crcmatory Mt Washington lane. and
valued the 800 bodies annually incincrated
there Mt $4,000. the manufacturing product |
at 5000. and the custom work and gen.

We shall watch this Philadelphia investl-
CATION with interest. but with no deeper
sense OF the immense fraud and humbug OF

was evidence enough already. The Phila-

Philadelphia pride. but 1t is well that the |
truth should come out.

to DO unaware that In 1883 Its candidate was
willing to give tho matchless momentum OF

have tho Democratic party resort to what

a subterfuge OF assembling. He tried his

conviction and permanent platform OF tho

He has been wabbling and prevaricating

himself has never wavered or weakened:
and he still persists In announcing his con-
viction that he is pressing necessity and

he has always been consistent. nor has he
ever attempted to hide from his country
men his belief that he Is great and good. and
"a bigger man " than his party.

Tho Governments Architecture.

Tho Government OF the United States
pays more for its architecture than any
private individual. corporation. or munich
pality In the country. and. In addition
thereto, does not get the sort OF buildings
that 1t requires. Unless 1t Is interfered
with. the Government will continue to pay
high prices and receive In return inferior
articles. because tradition and an evil habit
are things which the Government cannot
spontaneously shake off,
There Is O way, however whereby the
Government can enjoy the advantages
which are shared by the private individuals.
the corporations. and the municipalities
that get their moneys worth when they
erect q building. Congress should pass
House bill No. 8.152. which confers upon tho
Secretary OF the Treasury the power to In
vito the competition OF architects and So
cure their services In precisely the same
way that ordinary persons do. The Office
OF Supervising Architect OF tho Treas
ury. as 1t is at present admins
tered. Is an absurdlty: but IN alb
surdty Of a very serious kind. since 1t
infiicts upon the country execrable build
ings at most extortionate prices Under
the proposed law the renl architects OF the
country would build the national struc-
lures. which they are absolutely prohibited
from doing at present. Real architects arc
not patriots. and therefore they do not
clamor to abandon incomes OF from 10000
to $4,000 q year to undertake the herou-
lean labors Of tho Treasury architect on q
salary which to them would amount to only
pittance per annum.
Nevertheless there Is no project to which
they would more jealously address them
selves than the erection Of national struc-
lures which appeal at once to their personal
pride. sense Of nationality. and artistic
qualifications.
Decidedly. the bill should be passed. and
with neither hesitation nor delay.

HUNGRY DEMOCRATS.

TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 15.-The Topeka
hotel corridors were today alive with
Democrats, whose hunger WAS not TO be
appeased by the big dinners served at the
hostelres. The members of the Demo
cratic state central committee are here
from every part of Kansas. The regular
committeeman are reinforced by represent
tative party men. 1t was understood that
when Chairman w. G Jones called the
committee to order at O'Clock this after
noon he would say that he had summoned
them to meet at the request of a number
OF Democratic citizens and would ask the
assembly, "Wh hat are we here for?" 1t
was understood that general talk wouli
result OH the subject of federal patronage
II is not belieyed tha; the committee Will
make any recommendation in reference to
the United STATES senatOrship, as to lndI-
viduais, but that the general policy Will
be to work for Democrat for that high
position John Martin of Topeka. j. 4.
hicCleverty of Fort Scott, John Eaton of
Winfield Bailey p. Waggoner OF Atchi
son, Tully Scott of Oberhn and W. G.
Jones OF lola are all in line for the sena-
torshlp.
The conference occupied all the after
noon and a good part of the night. No
definite action was taken on the senatorial
question, further than TO decide to attempt
10 hold the Democrats in line and thus Sc
cure the balance OF power between the
Republicans and the populists, thus con-
trolling the situation as did the third
party in Illinois two years ago. The
chances of the various Democratic asplr-
ants 20 the senatorship was discussed, but
no Endorsement of any candidate was
made.
A resolution was adopted indorsing ex-
Governor Click for secretary Of agricul-
ture, and a committee was appointed to
lay his claims before President-eIecJ CleYe-
land-at the proper time.
