Bishop Newman on the Future of Meth
odism.
[From Our New York Correspondent1

LFrom Our New York Correspondence
Bishop Newman, of the Methodist
church, speaking of the tendencies of that
great denomination, said: II think the
Methodist church will awaken in the next
century to the Importance of doing those
things which will enable it to maintain It's
commanding position among religious de-
nominations. am inclined to think that
one of the most important of the changes
which the authorities in the denomination
will permit will be the adoption of the
Wesley liturgy.
THAT liturgy, as not many of the pres
ent generation know, does not differ in
many respects from that of the Church of
England or the Protestant Episcopal
church of the United States 1t was the
liturgy prepared by Charles Wesley for the
use of the Methodist Episcopalians in the
early days of that denomination. 1t has
been gradually abandoned. There is a
strong tendency in the denomination now
to return to 1t, and l have no doubt that
early in the next century it will again be
adopted.
II shall rejoice if | live to see it. 1t will
put us in closer relations with the great de-
nomination from which we sprang, and
which In these days, having overthrown
those influences which made the organiza-
ton OF the Methodist church necessary, Is
now working with mighty zeal for the
cause of Christ. | do not think that the
adoption of the Wesley liturgy will cause a
return of the Methodists to the Protestant
Episcopal church. The two denominations
have peculiarly their own work to do, and
in the next century they are going to do it
magnillcently. They will do it side by
side, as brothers, after all, in one family.
THE religious development of the Twen-
tieth century is, think, to keep pace with
the magnificent material prosperity which
awaits this country, and each will supple
ment the other"

FREELAND, PA, MARCH 80, 1898.

The announcement has been made
that Judge H. NJ. Robinson, of De
troit, who is endorsed by Henry
George, is to receive the appointment
of statistician of the agricultural de-
partment. Robinson was q radical
Republican until he ran for congress
in 1888 against Judge Chipman,
noted free trader and single tax man.
Robinson, in a few joint debates
with his opponent, learned enough of
political economy to make him change
his colors and since then he is also a
free trader and single taxer. The
great work done by the people com
prising this part of the Democratic
party, it is said, will be recognized
by the president in making appoint
ments, and Robinson is not the only
single taxer who will get an office.

One, grotesque and blackened with use, is
the image in miniature of grizzly bear,

Another of odd shape has face rudely
sketched on it. The most artistic in shape
and decoration is of the red catlenite. This
pipe is polished and handsomely inlaid with
some metallic substance resembling lead.
1T must not be understood" said Mr..
Harper, that smoking was a daily habit

men smoked to propitiate the spirits before
entering on any new undertaking. Civil

Richard Mansfield on the Drama of the
Twentieth Century.

[From Our New York Correspondent
Mr.. Richard Mansfield, who has gained
fame as one Of the greatest of American
actors, in speaking of the future Of the
stage, said:
presume that the wealthy men Of the
greater cities will before many years give
to the drama the same encouragement and
liberal support which they have been dis
posed in this century to bestow upon the
other arts. For the perfection of the Ameri-
can drama we must look very largely to the
support of those who have wealth with
which to encourage all those influences
which tend to greater cultivation of the
people.
presume that in New York city, for in
stance, we shall have great theater-per-
haps modelled after that of the great thea
ter of France. 1t will be supported not by
the patronage Of the state, but by that of
individuals of wealth. With such support
the theater in the United States can become
Che great refining and moral influence
which in its highest form it has been in
France. 1t will develop actors who are
true artists, and whose artistic achieve
ments will be recognized precisely as are
the achievements of those who do the best
things in other forms of artistic endeavor.
The prizes which await those who sue
cessfully portray human nature and life as
they are or as they have existed will be
not only pecuniary ones, but will also be
that recognition which society now gives to
the great painter or the great writer I'm
der the influence of such theater as be-
lieve will be established the best stimulus
for dramatic workmanship will inspire
those who undertake to write plays. We
shall therefore have developed not only
great artists upon the stage, but great con
structors and writer's of plays for them.
And when this condition is reached the
American drama, both in its acting and iE
it's making, will be one of the proudest
achievements of the American civilization
pf the Twentieth century.

The tariff bill arranged by the New
York Reform Club and sent to Secre-
tary Carlisle has been, as might have
been expected, attacked vigorously
by the Republican press of the coun-
try, whose editors can look at these
matters from a Mckinley point of
view only. They are utterly unmind-
full of the important fact that the
Reform Club did not formulate the
bill for their especial benefit, but for
the benefit of the whole country from
Democratic standpoint. The bill,
Notwithstanding the opposition of our
Republican friends and a few Of the
timid men who are editing Demo
cratic papers, has been very favorably
received by the business men through
out the country and the majority of
congressman. 1t cuts the tariff down
at every point where it is laid heavily
upon common people, and the sched
ules are devised with great care and
forethought. A better bill, with tariff
for revenue only as its aim, could not
be arranged.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1893-03-30

The Illinois legislature has a bill
before it appropriating $4,000 for the
care Of Abraham Lincoln's tomb at
Springfield. If it passes the dis
graceful situation at This tomb may
be relieved, although not wholly
cured. The monument is owned by
an association which has never been
able to collect enough money to
complete the structure, or even to
keep in repair what was built; the
present dilapidated condition has
naturally followed. This state of
things ought not to continue. The
association should either raise enough
money to finish the monument and
care for it properly or it should
relinquish its claim to the state of
Illinois The present is a propitious
time to call public attention to this
matter. Many visitors to the Chicago
fair will take the opportunity to visit
the tomb of the martry president.
1t would be a national disgrace for
them to find themselves compelled to
pay an entrance fee to monument
almost ready to topple over,-Phila.

stages, and the horseback riders will still be
employed for the carriage of the mails, but
all business communications and all COM
municattons of all sorts that are really in
tended to be quick will be transmitted by
telegraph and telephone, and both of these
means OF transmitting intelligence will be
very greatly extended generally, as we'll as
applied to all the immediate business of the
postal service.
Free delivery will be universal. This and
the boxes for the collection as well as de-
livery of mail at everybody's house and
business office-these things and the tele-
graph and telephone, with charges reduced
so that the people may really use them,
and extended enough to be within every
body's easy reach-these things and the use
of some electrical device in cities by which
the masses of mail in business centers may
be whizzed through tubes to receiving sta,
tions-all these will make the postal serv-
Ice so much more useful and so much easier
to use that it will be used hundred times
as much hundred years from now.
Thousands of small offices in the neigh
borhood of large cities will be abolished
because unnecessary, stations will be estab-
lished In their stead, and with the free de-
livery in the villages and out along the
lonely star routes the country will become
more thickly populated. The whole service,
by reason of the abolition of useless offices
and the addition of modern facilities, will
be more economically administered. The
country will be divided into postal districts,
and routine matters by the thousand will
be attended to much more promptly from
near postal centers. The United States
postal service will be the greatest business
machine and the most busnesslike great
business machine in the world.

Business men who advertise in
their local papers generally lead in
their respective trades, but so far
advertising has been done only to
make an impression upon buyers.
However, it is becoming more evident
every day that the men who show
their enterprise by advertising are
the men with whom the wholesalers
desire to deal, inasmuch as live, hust-
ling people are better agents than
those who sit down and wait for the
public to learn in some roundabout
way what they have to sell. The
Press Clipping Bureau, of Boston,
which receives the leading papers of
every town and city, has prepared
lists of the retail advertisers in the
different parts of the country for the
use of merchants in different lines of
trade in circularizing, sending sales
men, etc. The argument is in support
of these lists as opposed to ordinary
directories that the concerns that
advertise are the leading and enter
prising concerns in their several towns,
and that the possession of such list
gives the wholesale merchants the
advantage of holding his work to
lines where it will be effective 1t is
significant also in a statement put out
by the Clipping Bureau that they dc
not index advertisers who insert
cards under four inches long or two
inches in a double column. 1t is
evident that in more ways than one
advertising has its effects.
