VIII the Woman Win.

Whether the next general conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church decides
favorably or otherwise upon the PROPOSE
ton to admit women as delegates. not even
those who are most strongly opposed to
the movement can deny that discussion of
the question has developed more friends
for the would-be delegates than even the
would-be delegates themselves supposed
they had Each Of the subordinate con-
ferences has voted or will vote upon
the proposition, and when the roll is finally
called 1t will be seen and heard the world
over that the Lew woman Is great power
in Methodism In the working of the
church she always has been one of the
strongest forces, and, as mere matter OF
cold fact, women have a clear majority
of membership. Having served acceptably
in all the humble yet extremely active po-
sitions, she now reaches out after an honor
which has hitherto been exclusively en-
1oyed by male Methodists. She claims that
honor as a mundane reward for her hdel-
tty in the classroom and the Sunday
school and the missionary societies and the
mite societies and among the poor and the
sick and the afflicted. If the living who
have been benefited by her minis trations
were now in possession of the privilege of
the conference franchise, there would be
more women than men in the front seats
when the central body of American Metho-
dism meets next year.

Where VIII Senator Gray stand.

That the Fifty-fourth Congress will be a
very interesting body seems to be generally
vi derstood. There are many reasons why
the proceedings should attract more atten-
ten than is ordinarily given to the doings
of our national legislature. Cuba and Ha-
wall, to say nothing of the forthcoming
presidential campaign, will cut large figures
in the debates Of the first session. This
briI gs up the inquiry as to what Senator
Gray of Delaware is going to say or do
WREN Cuban independence is being dis
cussed, as it surely will be. 1t will be re-
n.embered that number of Cubans were

policy-that the principal instrument in Sc
curing the release of the prisoners was Sen

pathy to defend the accused, but that he

fact not to be overthrow. Popularity
CT dted with being the direct representative
of the administra ton in all matters per-
tanning to foreign affairs in Congress, 1t is
to be hoped that the senator will not be en-
barrassed by the stand he has taken.

1t Is not unlikely that the campaign
which will terminate in New York No

any New York has up to this time known.

From the New York Sun.
The supply of the luxurious education is
made equal to the comparatively small de-
maDd for 1t, nay, 1t is more; but the pro-
visions for primary instruction needed by
the multitude are shamefully inadequate.
The people of New York will be taxed
nearly six millions of dollars next year for
the schools, yet many thousands of chill
dren who want to learn their A B Cs will
be shut out of them simply because of lack
of room. The few hundred boys and girls
who want to polish off their education with
Greek and Latin, French and German.
geometry, trigonometry, and the calculus,
philosophy, and polite learning will be
locked alter by expensive professors in
spacious class rooms; but in all the
crowded districts multitudes of youngsters
who can't read and write and cipher will
be left in their ignorance because there
are no primary schools for them, though
under the law their parents are compelled
to send them to- school, That is not the
TT of system of education for which the
people car justly be taxed. The experience
of many years, too, has proved that the
Board of Education cannot divert any of
its energies from the solution of the prob
lem of providing the simple and thorough
elementary instruction universally needed
without defraudirg large part of the chill
dren of their rights. The only really essen
tial schools are the primary schools of
which there Is so great deficiency.

based on facts. experience and common
sense. They would reconcile the promotion
of sobriety by the state with proper per-

They cannot and do not so along with the

criminal Senator Hill, who. perhaps
more than any other man, is entitled to the
distinction of being the leader Of New
York's democracy, has several times made
remarks much more radical than those ut
tered by Mr. Belmont. The democracy,
therefore, is evidently willing to make the
excise law the issue, and the proceedings
of the republican convention at Saratoga
commit that party to the maintenance of
the Sunday law. Both as president Of the
beard of police commissioners and as a
leading republican, Theodore Roosevelt Is
deeply interested in the fight which now
appears to be on, and his contribution to
the literature of the day is quite interest
ing. In a speech made last night in New
York city, he confuted Mr.. Beimont's claim
that the democrats are in search of legis-
mon sense" by saying that 1.-The law on the
statute books against the sale Of liquor on
Sunday was made by legislature owned
by Senator Hill, and was signed by a gov
ernor who was, the private property of
Senator HILL" 1t Is quite evident that Mr..
Roosevelt does not regard the present law
as ideal, but 1t hardly seems necessary for
him to apologize for enforcing a statute of
so much Importance. That the law was
framed in the interest of Tammany and
blackmail must be admitted by all who are
intimate with the political conditions in
New York state, so it is not at all sur
prising that Mr. Belmont and great many
other friends of the tiger are opposed to
its impartial application. In little more
than a month from now we shall know
what kind of an excise law New York
wants. and whether it wants the law en-
forced or not. In the meantime Sundays
will continue to be dry in Gotham.

If the District Commissioners-or a ma
tority of them-had wanted to stop the
Washington and Great Falls Railroad Com
pany from erecting trolley poles and wires
within the western boundary of this city
they would have had no trouble in finding
authority for refusing the permission which,
strangely enough, has been granted. Only
a few days SINCE the Georgetown and Ten
1eytown Company applied for permit to
extend a single track down Thirty-second
street to Water street and was promptly
notified by the Commissioners that the
track extension was all right, but that no
more poles or wires could be put up. The
contention of the Commissioners, that the
legal status of the two companies is not on
the same plane, because the Great Falls
corporation is acting under its charter.
while the Tenleytown company was merely
asking a favor. which, perhaps, the Com
missioners had no right to grant, is unsound
and unsatisfactory. The anti-wire decision
in the Georgetown and Tenleytown case
was precisely right, while the conclusion
reached as to the Great Falls company was
thoroughly wrong. Wrong because 1t Is
Numerically opposed to all recent congress
sional deliverances as to overhead wires of
any sort; wrong because, even if there was
ton or maintenance of such dangerously
obstructive nuisances as poles and over
head wires are, 1t Is the duty Of the Dis
trct Commissioners to be firm in the pub
lie interest; wrong because the sentiment
of the entire community Is at war with the
spirit which a majority of the Commits
sioners yesterday saw fit to encourage. 1t
will indeed be remarkable If Congress does
not call the Commissioners to account for
their narrow action in this matter. The
plain duty Of those who compose the board
that municipality rules Washington was to
refuse the permit asked for by the Wash
ington and Great Falls company, but as it
is, Commissioner Powell stands alone in his
opposition to the overhead trolley within
the city's bounds. Just what Congress will
have to say before all the Commissioners
are compelled to understand that overhead
wires must not be strung at the national
capital may not easily be guessed, for most
people imagine that enough language has
been put into legislation to remove the last
lingering doubt from the minds of our Of
fic,als Specifically there are the statute
which forbds the stringing Of additional
overhead wires, the mandate by which the
lexington and Soldiers Home company
was ultimately compelled to remove its
poles and wires from New York avenue,
and the many refusals of the national legis-
lature to grant charters to railroad and
electric lighting companies which proposed
to make overhead wires conspicuous fea-
lures in their respective equipments. Had
the Commissioners been firm and refused to
allow the Great Falls company to put up
even a single pole they would have at least
escaped the well-founded accusation of hu-
initiating inconsistency.
