THE GENERAL CONFERENCE.

The quadrennial assembly of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, better
known as the General Conference, as
sembled May in Omaha, Neb., and
the occasion has brought to this city
the most prominent and influential
ministers and laymen of that denomi-
nation from every State and Territory
of the Union.
In many respects this gathering is
the most important of its character
that has been held for many decades.
for more than year there have been
rumors of an impending change in the
policy of the church, some of them of
a radical character.
Among the questions which the con-
ference will be called upon to decide
are those relating to an increase in
the number of bishops, the time limit
controversy, the question of giving
the colored bretheren representation
on the Board of Bishops, and the right
of women to sit as delegates. The
bishop question is uppermost, and
has dislodged the woman question

Nearly the entire south wall OF the

on the building no one was injured.
A gale was blowing at the time.

Zion's Herald in it's last issue has this
pleasant word of Rev. j. d. Beeman,
the retiring president of Vermont
Methodist seminary: CATER 10 years
of service, Rev. j. d. Beeman retires
from the presidency Of the Vermont
Methodist seminary. During this time
he has raised the institution from the
verge of bankruptcy to q position OF
financial credit and literary prestige,
and has made it's Golfers richer by up
wards of $4,000. Vermont Method

his arduous and we'll directed labors

The work of Improvement on the
Rutland division of the Central Yer
mont railroad will be rapidly pushed
to completion, and will cover 49,
miles of the road, extending from
Burlington to Bellows Falls. Ten iron
bridges will take the place Of the
wooden ones. A number of the
bridges are in excellent condition, but
will be strengthened up to the Central
Vermont standard SO as to carry the
heavy rolling stock. Side tracks will
also be laid a several stations along
the division, and other general work
will be done. The road bed when com
p1eted will be one of the best in the
country.

among Methodists centered around
the sisters. We're they, or were they
not, laymen? The women delegates
there were five or them-were not
admitted to the conference. The
question was submitted to a vote OF
the church. The brethren turned from
the woman question to the more re-
cent but equally perplexing bishop
question. There are eighteen bishops
on the Episcopal Board, including the
two missionary bishops. They hold
office for life and no provisions found
in the book of discipline for retiring
them, unless for maladministration or
some kindred cause. 1t is quite likely
that several new bishops will be elect
ed. and in addition several missionary
bishops, one for South America, one
for China and Japan and one for Eu-
rope About score of men are men
toned for these places. A strong
memorial will be presented to the
conference, asking it to enact such
such legislation as will enable pastors
to drop members who do not support
the church according to their ability,
to elect bishops for eight years with
out privilege Of re election, to remove
the limit from the pastorate, to pro-
vide for the election of presiding cid
ers with or without the nomination Of
the bishop, and to give the cabinet
with the bishop the power of making
appointments, majority of the pre-
siding elders being sufficient to de-
termine an appointment.
The idea of there being only $50 lay
men to $50 ministerial delegates to
the General Conference has been pc
culiar to the minds Of good many
laymen. DIR. Jones's remarks created
great excitement, and half dozen
delegates were on the floor at once,
but Mr.. Shinkle of Kentucky caught
the eye of the chairman, and he spoke
in opposition to the movement. He
thought it would look like antagonism
and dissension to have the ministerial
and lay delegates separated on the
conference floor. ExGov. Evans of
Colorado then addressed the meeting.
He was very much in favor Of sepa-
rate seating for lay delegates. After
several speeches pro and con, the res
olution which had been offered soon
after the discussion arose by Mr.. Shaw
of Iowa for the purpose of requesting
the conference to seat the lay dele
gates separately was put and carried
by vote of "A to "a.

that it is. No participant in the st.

where who knows anything about the
matter ever claimed that or the suf-
frsge resolution to be a part Of the
platform. The published proceed
ings OF the st. Louis conference dis

never been published in any reform
paper in the country as q part Of the
platform. The platform and ''addi-
tiOnGI resolutions" have been kept
as standing matter in mHE ADVOCATE
ever since their adoption, and they
show for themselves just what belongs
to the platform and what does not.
The resolution was offered by an
ex-confederate soldier, Mr.. Davis, Of
Texas, after the platform 'cds COM
pleted, aud as resolution it was
adopted precisely as stated in the
letter Of the writer.
This is NO new thing in conventions
Of any kind. 1t is something that is
frequently done. After the platform
has been adopted, it is not at all un-
usual for individuals to offer Rddi-
tional resolutions and get them
adopted, but it suits the purpose OF
Republican journalists { p to endeavor
to pervert this, as they do everything
else pertaining to the Peoples party
movement. Knowing themselves to
be absolutely unable to meet our is
sues and successfully controvert our
arguments before the people, they
seek thus to build up their declining
cause upon the prejudlces Of the un-
informed. They will find before this
campaign is over that they have
something more to do to carry this
election than to play upon the preju-
dices of the people. Prejudice is not
now playing the part in politics that
it did in former times.

THOSE LETTERS.

Republican journalists (?J have
found another mares nest. They have
a letter from President Polk and
another from the editor of The AD-
vocATE relative to the soldier resolu-
tion adopted at St Louis. These
letters they aro running in parallel
columns for the purpose of showing
an inconsistency upon this question.
What is that inconsistency Presi-
dent Polk says in his letter that the
resolution is not part of our plat
form. Now let these nincompoops
read the other letter and see if they
can find where il makes any claim
