The Toledo Weekly Blade made a
presidential canvass recently with the
following results which we're tabulated
before Mr.. Blaine's letter of declination
had been published:
Blaine, 1854: Harrison, s,1o3: Nc
Kinley, 1917: all others, 272. Total,
27,37l. The Blade adds:
AS Mr.. Blaine has withdrawn it is
plain that the second choice of his sup
porters now virtually becomes their
first choice. This gives the following
results: Harrison, 1881: Mckinley,
5,349: scattering, 1000.

Speaking about protection, if the city
of Mitchell, for instance, had adopted
a policy years ago that gave her a
decided advantage oyer other towns in
the state, would she be justified in re-
versing that policy now simply because
she had reached position of strength
and commercial Importance? That is
about where this country stands with
reference to protection.

MADISON, Wis, Feb. "a. Judge A.
w. Neuman, who five weeks ago rem
dered the decision adverse to the defend
ants in the famous suit Of the state
against the ex-state treasurer, will,
within day or two, settle the findings
on which an immediate appeal will be
based. 1t is merely formal matter.
The appeal must, under the rules of law.
be made within sixty days after the
decision was rendered, which makes the
furthest limit about March IL. The su-
preme court is now in session, and a
decision in the gerrymander case may
be handed down, but the general opin-
ion is that the court will take till about
March Is to prepare its conclusion.

He was Never Known to Die.

Huronite: The boys who think they
haye it in for Senator Pettigrew should
bear in mind that, under the constitu-
tion, he will be the senator until March,
1895, unless he dies, and he was never
known to do that. Even if certain that
you could kill him this year, it would be
decidedly unhealthy to have the corpse
on hand so long before possible burial.

Representative Watson of Georgia,
who is Jerry Simpsons side partner,
says in the course of a debate in the
house:
According to the report of the super.
intendent of the census, every man. wo.
man and child in the land is entitled to
$1,000, but under the law this money
has been dumped into the hands of those
who had special privileges.
THERE'S something strangely familiar
in that argument. "Wheres my thous-
and dollars? Where's yours?" And
where would it be again in about thirty
days after the equal division were
made?

nominations, and particularly among
the Methodists of Omaha and the coun
try round about.
The conference will be attended by
about 500 delegates, representing every
country where Methodism is known AMI
expounded, and the visitors will proba-
bly, attend by the thousand. By the
rules of the Methodist church the quad
rennial conference must be convened on
the first day of May, but owing to the
fact that the LIST of May falls ON Sunday
this year it is probable that the confer
ence will simply meet, call the roll, hold
devotional meeting and then adjourn
until the next day. The programme
for great Sunday afternoon meetings
during the month of May has been
arranged. On the afternoon of May a
great missionary meeting will be held in
Exposition hall Some of the most elo-
quent speakers present will address the
meeting, and a chorus of 100 trained
voices will furnish the music. The Sec
ond Sunday in May will be devoted to
the interests of the National university.
This meeting will of course be held in
the afternoon, as the special services
will not be permitted to come in conflict
with the regular church worship at the
usual hours both morning and evening
at the various churches of the city.
The third Sunday of the month will
be known as the american Sabbath"
day. Colonel Elliott F. Shepard, of
New York, will deliver the principal
address Of that occa on. On May 20,
the third Sunday IN the month, the mass
meeting will discuss the interests of the
|Epworth league, the vigorous organiza-
ton for young people connected with
the Methodist church. On the last Sun
day of the month the subject of national
patriotism will be the theme for the
mass meeting.
In addition to these great events there
will be other special occasions, when the
public will be given an opportunity to
see and hear the brightest and brainiest
men in the notable gathering. A grand
reception will be rendered the delegates
by the mayor and common council of
Omaha on the evening of May 2. This
will be the first time in the history of
the Methodist church that the mayor |
and common council of a city rendered |
the delegates of the conference a ban
quet, excepting that given by the lord |
mayor of London in 1881. tits probable |
that series Of excursions will be run
into Omaha from towns and cities within
a radius of 100 miles, to accommodate
the people upon special occasions.
The Methodist people of Omaha have
been putting forth extraordinary effort
to get everything in readiness for the
great event. Methodism in Omaha is
not as powerful as it might have been
had the early pillars of the church been
of that prophetic vision which
some of the early settlers seemed pos
sess. The first Methodist church built |
in Omaha stood on lots that are now
worth 100000. and the church owned
twenty-five years ago that is
today worth half million dollars. But
in the early struggles and internal dis
sensions of the church large part of
this valuable property slipped out of the
hands of the church, and while the de-

more than probable that the conference
delegates will visit this institution dur.
called the Nebraska Wesleyan universe
ty. The institution has a considerable
endowment in both cash and valuable
lands and Is meeting with success in the
educational field 1t has one very hand
I some college building and commodious
dormitory and one of the most extensive
and complete manual training schools in
the United States. The buildings are
valued at something over $500, 900. The
educational interests of the church in
Nebraska have been unified by making
the university the head of all the church
schools in the state, and its success has
cen remarkable on that account.
This city is the residence OF Bishop j.
P. Newman, one of the most eloquent
and widely known of the Methodist
bishops. He is very popular as public
speaker, and the announcement that he
is to speak upon almost any occasion is
sufficient to attract large audience of
Omaha people.
Speaking of the approaching confer.
ence yesterday to your correspondent,
Bishop Newman said: There will be
several very interesting and important
questions presented to the conference
for solution. The question of taking
away the limit of the minister's pastor
ate and leaving it to the Judgment of
the bishop in charge of the conference
will be one of the interesting questions
that will be discussed.
"Of course the question of admitting
women to the right of seats as delegates
in the legislative bodies of the church
will be another very interesting prob
lem that will come up in some form
during the session. The question of
electing more bishops will probably
be raised and is likely to provoke con-
siderable discussion on account of
the fact that a good deal of news
paper discussion upon that subject
has already taken place. 1t is held by
some that the present number of bish- |
ops, which is eighteen, ought to be suffi-
Gent to do the work devolving upon the
episcopacy of the church, while the OPP
posite view is taken by others. The
question of restricting the work of the |
bishops rather than enlarging upon their
field will no doubt be discussed with con-
siderable earnestness.
Referring to the labor devolving upon
the bishops the venerable divine said; |

TO PREVENT OVERLOOKING.
Weights Instead of Carloads to
Obtain in Cattle Shipments.

The Montana cattlemen, and, in fact,
all dealers in range cattle, are particu-
larly interested in meeting of the
Western roads to be held in Chicago on
Feb. 10. 1t is proposed that range cat
tie shall be charged freight at SO much
per 100 pounds instead OF by the car
load. In other words, the rates are to
be merged from even dollars per car
into cents per 100 pounds, as in carrying
out the arrangement for weighing, the
rates now in use could not be continued
without raising rates on Streets stable
cars, and reducing rates on common
cars. The minimum weights heretofore
in force were: Common, 30-foot cars,
$4,000 pounds; common, 33-foOt, &c, 800
pounds; Streets, 36-foot, 22, 900 pounds.
On the present basis the weighing would
raise the rates from Miles City, Mont,
Oh Streets, about 81 per car, and would
reduce the rates on common cars about
s. each. In order to eQualiZe these
differences the meeting on Feb. 10 is to
adopt rates that will leave the figures
for carrying range cattle about the same
as the rates that are at present in force.
The adoption of this system of weigh
ing range cattle has probably been
brought about largely by the practice of
overlooking the Streets cars which has
been noticeable of late. In fact, so
eager were the stockmen to crowd all
the cattle they could into the stable cars
that they tied the partition gates to the
SIDES of the cars, and frequently took
them out altogether in order to make
room for the greater number of ''head."
Thus the comfort of the cattle, for
which Streets stables were introduced,
was disregarded, and the roads found
difficulty in running stock trains to
good advantage in the matter of speed.
The new system will undoubtedly les
sen the tendency to overload.

MANUFACTURING SITES.

We have for sale a tract of
about 18 acres of land midway
between st. Paul and Mime
apolis, which is perhaps the
best site for factories in either
city. 1t has a spur track run
ming through it, connecting it
with all the railroads running
into either city, except one,
and also with the Mime
sofa Transfer. 1t is one of the
few tracts left in the Midway Dis
trict. accessible to good railroad
trackage, large enough to accom-
modate a large manufacturing con-
Germ, and is therefore very valua-
BILE. The Midway District, tray
ersed in every direction by railroads
and electric lines, and drawing
population and business from both
cities, is rapidly filling UP. and a
few years will see property there
quadrupled In value. 1t is bound
in the near future to become the
great center of population of our
dual city, and the owners of land
there will be wealthy. We can sell
this fine property very cheap.

Abstracter Murnane Says There
Is No Foundation for Damaging
Reports.
Abstract Clerk Murnane was seen
yesterday and asked for his statement
with reference to the article published
in Fridays GLOBE. Mr.. Murnane said:
II have talked with several members of
the board of commissioners, and they
have informed me that in their knowl-
edge the board had taken no action to
request my resignation. 1 think
such report must have orig
mated from : the fact that 1
myself employed two men to book and
index ths records Of the Office. This
was done to satisfy the county attorney,
who has direct supervision over its af-
fairs. There is no carelessness in my
Office that know of. There are several
gentlemen connected in one way or
another with the county who would like
to have my Office If they could GUST me.
The trouble no doubt comes from them,
but intend to hold it until my term ex-
pires in the fall. 1t would, besides. be.
necessary to impeach me before my
resignation could be asked for.'
