Rev. Sam Jones on Bishops.

[From the Richmond (va) State, Dec. 11th ]
Rev. Sam Jones is now an editor. His paper
is the Tennessee Methodist, published at
Nashville, and has been in existence about
four years. Mr.. Jones took hold OF it about
a month ago and he and Rev. Dr.. B. f.
Haynes are its editors. The paper has a cir
culaton of 900, and expects to reach the 50,
900 mark in two years; and thereby hangs a
tale.
Mr.. Jones is making things lively in the
Methodist church and his movement is gain
ing strength. The war is on and the fight is
not yet finished.
Mr.. Jones was seen by a Statesman this
morning with reference to the new movement
and with his usual candor he talked right out
in meeting. He said
"Our idea is that Bishops should be elected
for four years with eligibility to reelection.
if they behave themselves. They will then
kiss the babies and look after their fences
But when fellow is elected for life, he's got
a cinch and you can't get at him. We hold
that Bishop is simply an officer 1t is not
an order in any sense. We claim the privi-
lege of criticising his mistakes and mal-ad-
ministration, and that we have as much right
to criticise Bishop as anybody else. We re-
gard him simply as male man. We honor
him for his good works and esteem him for
his piety, but we propose to criticise him Just
as the secular press would criticise any Off
Ger of government.
1--WE propose to discuss things and matters
that those who are eating the bread of the
church are too timid to take hold of, and we
propose to give to Methodism the fairest and
Invest paper on the continent. We have no
grievances, but simply an everlasting aver
sion to dull time, pref erring to have a run
away horse to dead horse
MI. Jones was then asked if his purpose
was to split the church.
mo-" he replied, "but rather to get rid of
conditions that will split the church if they
are not weeded out. Ours is an antecclesi-
astical-ring paper, loyal to Methodism, but
death on rings
"What do you mean by rings 90 he was
asked
what DO you mean by rings in politics 2"
was the answer. He then went on to say that
there were rings in the church as there were
In politics and they were doing their work
The trouble was that many good men were IN
these rings and didn't know it. He proposed
to open the eyes of the people and to smash
the rings.

The VINDICAToR asks the Dispatch to looI
further into the matter of abolishing the con
stables provided for by the Walton law. An(
so we will. But couldn't a constitutional
convention dispose of the suffrage question
far more satisfactorily than the General AS
sembly ?-I9actnond Dispatch.
The State Of Virginia is just now, an(
will be for some time yet, doing business
I on short margin, and we don't want her
to run behind financially if there is any
possible way out of it. According
to the report Of Auditor Marye to the
Finance Committee of the two houses last
winter, thesannual receipts of the Com
monwealth are So ,026, S39.10; its expendi-
lures So, 925, 710.14, and its surplus $101,
1859 We must recolect that the receipts
of the State are fiuctuating and the estimate
of Auditor Marye WAS based on the assess
nlent of 1892. Already the assessment of
license tax of 1894 is $780, 600 less than that
of 1892, and the next under the continual
ton of business depression will show a
still greater falling off. The assessment Of
land next year will, without doubt, show a
falling off. The cost of a regular session of
tie legislature is about S75.G GOO; the cost OF
an extra session $4,000, and a session
of constitutional convention would
cost-no man can tell what. 1t
is pretty certain to our view that not
only would our surplus be wiped cut. but
we would begin falling behind on the pay
ment of our interest, something all men
who recollect the past would greatly
regret.
We should be not only willing, but desir-
Gus. to submit the question of an educa-
tional qualification to constitutional con-
yention if the State can bear the expense.
