Rev. Mr.. Partridge's Departure.

Very general regret will follow the
announcement that Rev. Warren G..
Partridge, pastor Of the Penn Avenue
Baptist church, has at last decided to
accept q recent call to a larger pas
torate in Cincinnati. At the same time,
friends OF Mr.. Partridge will rejoice in
this substantial token Of the recog-
milton commanded by his vIrile and
practical ministrations.
The present. we take 1t, Is not an in
appropriate occasion to call public at
tention to the splendid results which
have been achieved by the Penn Ave-
nue. congregation during Mr. Part
ridges pastorate. 1t needs not the
customary comparison Of statistics to
inform any close observer Of local re-
ligiOus movements concerning the very
perceptible stimulus which has been
impaired to church work in Scranton
since the location Of Mr.. Partridge
among us. Especially noticeable has
been the quickening of interest and
energy in the secular departments Of
the Baptist denomination to which Mr..
Partridge has ministered-in the sew.
eral old and many new auxiliary
agencies that have gained popularity
and usefulness under his practical
guidance. 1t has obviously been the
retiring pastors belief that form OF
faith without daily visible and tan
gible substance Is vain; and that the
true Christianity Is a thing even more
of deeds than OF words. Hence his
constant aim has been to develop the
practical side, leaving the theoretical
largely to itself.
The withdrawal from our community
of such a pastor Is, in any light. a
public misfortune. But the forces and
the methods thus happily developed
need not, and we trust will not. lag
under new direction. This Is pre-em-
1nently practical age, which can not
be in much danger of having. in Its
churches, stores or workshops, q sur
felt Of healthy, vigorous. practical
Christianity.

The Pending Campaign.

The campaign in Pennsylvania this
year will formally open when the Dem
ocrats shall have held their convention
and made their nominations for state
treasurer and Judges of the Superior
court. The leaders of the Democracy
have foreshadowed the policy that will
prevail In their convention. Six can
didates for Superior court judges will
be judiciously apportioned to the sew
eral sections Of the state. They will
also be carefully selected with view
to fitness and personal popularity. The
object Of this Is apparent. 1t means a
determined effort to elect at least
three or four Of the judges. The DEM
ocratic leaders count largely on indif-
ference and lingering factional resent
ment among Republicans for success.
There are no Indications that their
hopes in that direction will be realized.
The Republicans have had their fight
and it is ended. They do not expect
to carry the state by a phenomenal ma
jority as was given General Hast
ings. but by normal majority. such as
was given for Harrison in 1894.
The situation In Pennsylvania at this
time does not give the Republicans
any concern. The party is united in
support Of the state ticket, and will re-
main so, whatever the action of the
Democrats. The leaders of Democracy
are intensely disappointed at the out
come Of the Republican faction fight,
They hoped and expected that a dis
astrous rupture would be the result.
on the contrary. they are compelled to
face a united party. with both of the re-
Gently contending factions spurred on
by the greatest possible incentive to
make the election as decisive as possi-
BILE. Chairman Quay and his adher-
ents are naturally ambitious to carry
the state by the largest possible ma
jority. Governor Hastings and his sup
porters. having secured the nomina.
tions Of the candidates they wanted
will naturally exert themselves to the
utmost to make their success at the
polls overwhelming.
The Democrats are building on O
foundation of sand IL they expect to
make capital out Of the recent battle
of the Republican factions. A few OF
Chairman Quay's reckless organs. like
the Scranton Republican, are trying to
keep up the dissensions, but that will
not affect the state ticket. even If Quay
himself should not call halt on them
as he doubtless will before the cam.
paign has progressed very far.

WOMEN AND THE CHURCH,

From the Times Herald.
The almost unanimous decision Of the
Montana Methodist conference In favor
OF admitting women to the general con-
ference to be held in Cleveland and giving
them all the ecclesiastical prerogatives
Of men Is fairly indicative of the trend of
Methodist sentiment on the question of
the new woman in that church. This may
be contrary to the Biblical injunction to
the effect that women should keep quiet
In the church. but the new woman was not
In evidence in the time of Moses, and the
church, II 1t would be progressive, must
meet the new conditions of life.
That the Methodist church should have
denied Its women voice In the delibera-
tions Of the general conference for so long
seems strangely at variance with the
deferential regard usually accorded wo-
men In other institutions that have to do
with promoting the interests of mans bet
ter and higher nature. To deny woman a
voice in an institution in which she is
admittedly great power presents one of
the mysterious anomalies Of eccles.as-
tical government. Evidently the men who
have been governing the Methodist
church have proceeded on the assumption
that women were good enough to ar
range church socials. get up Sunday
school picn.cs and provide the culinary
equipments that are necessary to run the
social end Of the church machinery. but
when 1t comes to using her as a re,posi.
tory for profound theological dogma and
trusting to her intellect to properly weigh
the problems Of church policy she would
be found wanting.
.:-:-
And yet what would become of tho
churches without the women? The ten
dency Of men In these degenerate days
to delegate all matters pertaining to the
soul to their wives Is reprehensible, but
there seems to be no help for 1t. Every
thing pertaining to the spiritual power
and financial success Of the churches rests
upon the unfaltering zeal and unwaver-
Ing courage Of women. They are the
never failing allies of every instrumental
ity that builds up the beautiful. the true
and the good. IT therefore seems improb-
able that the Methodist church, one OF
the greatest evargelizing powers in chris
tendon, will longer disregard the ex-
pressed wish Of the clergy and the laity
in the matter Of giving to women infiu-
eral conference.

delegates to the late Republican state
convention, 1876 had been chosen before
the contest between Senator Quay and
the state administration came on. In
the counties represented by these dele
gates the people had no opportunity.

press a preference. and there Is no GER
tainty as to how they would have
voted had they had voice in deciding

in McHenry, Wells and Benson counties
where he has been to look up the mat

Towner and IN the neighborhood OF
Rugby, and Leeds also, there are many
patches OF cactus, and in some fields it is
as thlck as in Dickey county. East Of
