THE EPWORTH LEAGUE.
It's Beautiful Memorial Church at
Cleveland, O.
One OF the Handsomest Edifices In the
Cnited States-Erected on the Spot
Where the League Was
Founded in 1889.

Four years ago May Is in the little
side room of the Central NJ. E. church
of Cleveland, o., was founded what has
religious societies of the world The
Epworth league was ecrystalliza ton
Of five feeble societies of the Methodist
Episcopal church into one. When or
gained it had scarcely 1,50O chapters
and 60, 900 members. To-day its chap
tiers exceed 5000, it's membership ap-
proximates 100000. and in every state
and territory of the union as well as in
many foreign lands its significant
Greek cross is proudly worn.
On the site of the old frame church
where the Epworth league was organ
lied May 14-15, 1889, has recently been
dedicated the handsomest church
structure in northern Ohio and an edi-
flee that is excelled in completeness
and perfection of arrangements by
few churches in the country. 1t is to
stand as the memorial of the organiza-
ton of the league and bears the name
"Epworth Memorial Methodist Episco-
pal church"
The church structure departs from
many of the traditional lines of Amer
lean church architecture, being a COM
bination of Byzantine and Romanesque
in an original manner, and was de-
signed by Architect S. &. Badgley, of
Cleveland. The effect is an admirable
arrangement of space for all the nu-
merous departments of modern church
work, and building destined to at
tract wide attention for architectural
beauty. The walls are of gray st.
Lawrence marble in rock-faced, irreg-
ular asher blocks, and are surmounted
by magnificent dome 125 feet high
The site is the corner of Prospect
street and Wilson avenue, in the CEN
ter of a very choice residence district,
and has frontage of $40 feet on Will
son avenue and lis feet on Prospect

pondence will be especially interesting
to the New York Senators.
Representative Wilson, chairman of
House WAYS aud Means COMMITTEES, talks
in parodoxes about the ncw tariff bill.
He starts out by saying that the new
bill will be exactly what was promised
by the Chicago PLATFORM tariff for rev.
enue only, without any Incidental pro-
lection, and then winds up with the
assertion that no established American
industry will be injured by the bill
Now any school boy knows that one or
the other OF these statements ia wrong
A tariff for revenue only is tariff that
will most largely increase the imports-
tion of foreign goods, and the more for
eign goods consumed in the United
States the less demand there will be for
domestic goods of the same kind, and
the natural consequence will be the clos.
ing of American factories. The only
theory upon which Mr.. Wilson's state
ments can be reconciled is that he does
not consider "sstsblished'' those Ameri-
can industries that require protection
from foreign competition. There is
going to be a big fghtin the Democratic
party on this question-the number of
Democratic protectionists is larger than
many suppose and events are making
daily additions thereto.

set, speeches on the Voorhees, bill two
weeks or more and then there will prob.
ably be an indefinite period of flibuster.

placed in current rumors to tho effect
that the administration will try to bring
on another period of financial stringency
in order to force a vote. One "object
lesson OF that kind is probably quite
enough for even Democratic admins
tration.
The House. having gone fal beyond
anything in the shape of curtailing the
rights of the minority which was con.
tanned in the rules of the House of the
Fifty-hrst Congress. will tomorrow take
up the bill for the perpetuatinn OF the
power of the Democratic party, other
wise known as the bill for the repeal of
the federal election laws. Two whole
weeks-think of what magnanimity to
the minority that is-,will be allowed for
the discussion of the bill. Unless there
IS change of rules in the Senate this
bill will never pass that body, let the
House railroad it as fast as it may.
