On the BOrderland of Change.

One fact at least seems to be pretty
well foreshadowed in connection with
the general conference OF the Methodist
Episcopal church, which will assemble
next May in Cleveland. o. II is as
much as assured that the time limit
of the itnerancy will be extended in
definitely. In other words. the Meth
tional, SO far as concerns the tenure of
pastorates. and may, in practice. retain
or dismiss its minister's at will.
The Methodist clergy Is almost unit
in favor Of this change. They have
abundantly experienced the inconve-
niences. the disappointments and the
keen regrets of frequent removals,
swapping as they do the threads that
constitute large share of lfe's pleas
ures; and will welcome with eagerness
the opportunity to acquire. If possible.

ministers of the Rock Island, H.. con-
ference disclosed 1O7 in unqualified OPP
position to the five-year limit, and only
% in it's favor: and something near this
proportion doubtless prevails through
out the United States.
The other question. will women be
granted lay representation in the gen.
eral conference. is not so easily an
swered; but we are of the opinion that
1t, too, will receive an affirmative re-
sponse. This Is likewise the belief of
that far-sighted and progressive jour-
nal, the Chicago Times-Herald which
thinks that with women now creating
and conducting immense enterprises.

societies, taking joint part with men in
the conduct of numberless organiZa-
tions and institutions. having now
opened to them almost every opportun-
ity and advantage for the higher edti-
cation and professional training al

alive to existing conditions and necessi-
ties as are the Methodist churches are
going to be always made up of clergy
men, laymen and--women left out in
limbo of representative mutes and Off
cial nonentities."
The admission of women, would in
volve no mistake; but the abolition of
the pastoral time limit is another ques-
tion. Under frequent pastoral changes,
the Methodist church has been unmis-
takably the most vital Of Protestant in
strumentalities in the regeneration of
society, and 1t is fair to assume that
the frequency of these changes has
been a factor for good. Whether con-
ditions have changed sufficiently to JUS
tify a modification OF the itnerancy in
the direction of conservatism and pas
toral ease and tranquility is open to
debate. So long, however, as the Meth
odst church keeps close to the plain
people and enters inteligently but also
enthusiastically into sympathy with
their wants and needs, 1t Is not likely
to suffer a relapse in consequence of
any probable changes In It's ecclesiasti-
cal government.

A Safe Recipe for Prosperity.

The Democratic platform in this
state lays stress upon the assertion
that the present revival in business is
in consequence of Democratic tariff
legislation: and that the way to main
tain the prosperity thus won is to vote.
next year, for a Democratic president.
Apart from its references to state is
sues and its stereotyped Endorsement Of
the Cleveland administration, this fea-
ture exhausts the Willamsport decla-
ration. Let us, then. look at the sub
ject.
In the first place. wages today are yet
much below what they were under the
Mckinley tariff. The Williamsport
platform says that the restorations of
wages thus far reported approximate
$3.50 900, 900. Conservative statistics
estimate the drop in wages caused by
Democracy's prolonged battle against
the Mckinley tariff at $4,000, 100000,
with an equal depreciation in CONNER
cial values. Thus we have the fol-
lowing account:
The Democratic party
debtor to the people OF the
United States for wages
lowered and other losses
Inn cted .....................S .Si,VUuo,Voo
The Democratic party cred
tied with restorations IN
wages NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 2oOUW,UU
Balance yet charged against
the Democratic party. $3.50 900, 900
Until this account is squared. it will
be premature for the ruin-breeding
modern Democracy to try to fool the
people a second time with the same old
trick
Secondly. the prosperity we are now
enjoying Is not permanent as yet. 1t
comes from the complete consumption
by our people of surplus stocks during
the recent suspension of productive
activities. The people must eat. They
must wear clothing. They must have
certain necessaries, whether times be
good or bad. SO long as these We're ac-
cumulated on Tho store shelves and in
the warehouses, the mills and factories
and workshops OF the country could, In
an adverse period, lie idle. But when
the extra supply was exhausted, the
Industries had to go to work again.
They are doing this now. They are re-
spending to current orders. Whether
they shall recover confidence and re-
main steadily at work or once more
lose confidence and gradually decline
into another era of stagnation will
largely depend upon the verdict Of next
years presidential election.
. The emphatic choice by the people of
a Republican president pledged to pro-
tect American industries and interests
will insure prosperity's perpetuation.
The reverse will insure renewed dis
trust.

In addition to being an oratorical
gem. this quotation has also educa-
tional value in its hint as to the cause
of the present revival in business. 1t Is
n significant coincidence that the re-
yival became marked only after the
elections Of last November had demon-
strated that the free trade crusade was
necessarily at an end.

How to Preserve Foot HnIl.

Chicago Timesierald: THE crying
need in foot ball Is the prevalence of the
same standards of manliness on the grid
iron field that are found elsewhere in col
lcgc athletics. A base ball player who
would deliberately spike a runner or an
oarsman who would disable the boat of
the opposing crew would not come in for
the applause of the college, but when a
foot ball player punches man in the
line or foully tackles him he IS sure of
compliments. Foot ball Is too good a
sport TO die. But II 1t is to live II must be
made clean and manly and the possibility
of dangerous accidents must be abated."

RICE in the position of party to the
treachery, when in fact he would not ap-
prove it."
