METHODIST POLITICS.

According TO the Cincinnati Times
Star the Methodist laymen Of that city
have banded together. Ito fight the ten
dency of MethodiSm TO drift into an
oligarchy made up of not more than a
dozen or fifteen men whose purposes
are to direct the entire policy of the
church without the slightest regard for
the will of the rest of the 100000
Methodists."
A paragraph is going the rounds of
the Methodist publications, some of
those that are not strictly in line with
all the purposes of the leaders OF the
church, 10 the effect that in the general
conference of 1905 missionary bishop
was elected for Patagonia, who in due
time was ordained and set apart for
this high office. who after reaching
Patagonia and hooking over the work
concluded be would return to his own
country aud raise money for special
fields in his diocese. This he did with
great success, and as these special
fields seemed to multiply the bishop
=
was in his own country most of the
time. and the Patagonians were de
prived OF the help and inspiration of
his presence. Then the people Of his
own country began TO wonder if this
was what was intended in the original
election Among laymen and Metho-
dist clergymen, who feel that they have
right now and then TO think for them
selves. this paragraph is regarded and
talked about as polite way of notify
ing Missionary Bishops Thoborn and
Taylor that they are spending A great
deal more time in civilized America
then they were expected 10 spend when
elected 10 their high Office for uncivil-
lied Asia and Africa Their remaining

the heather how can the rest Of the
world be expected to whoop up their
interest?
For the benefit Of many outside of the
Methodist church it may be well to say
that there was no general conference in
1905 and no Methodists either, and
Patagonia never has been and never
will be a diocese. Bishops Thoborn's
and Taylor's seeming Indifference to
the weel of the inhabitants along the
Ganges and the Congo is exciting some
Indignation among the brethren who
are not only wagging their heads but
wagging their tongues as well. While
on the subject of bishops it might be
well to state that lions Herald, a New
England organ of Methodism, insists
that there is no possible excuse for the
election of any more bishops at the
general conference in Cleveland next
May; that there isn't enough legitimate
work for the bishops already elected
to keep them busy, and yet IL is claim
ed that several of the candidates for
the high office who have been working
up boom for themselves in the last
four years now have a positive cinch
in the matter of an election.

EXPECTATIONS OF CONGRESS

All over the country the Republicans
are in something of a stew over just
what course they should pursue. The
party has had two great compliment
AIRY votes from tie public which. I'M
less all signs fail. is desipcus Of putting
the Republican party again in charge
of the general policies of the CD Iptry.
The greatest bone of contention is the
tariff. 1t is held by some Republicans
that the thing to do is to let the tariff
alone and pursue conservative course.
Against this position there are others
who urge that the Republicans should
pass a tariff bill and let Democratic
president kill it IL he wants 10, and
take the blame for it
The whole truth Of the matter is that
congress will do very little. The house,
of course. is Republican. IL is hard
70 tell what the senate Is, and the
president is Democratic. and with this
combination little actual legislation of
4 national nature may be accomplish
ed. This Is just as the confidence re-

excitability confidence is still in 4

WHY IS 1T POPULAR?

Some disposition is evinced to criti-
cize the national hymn america" DR..
Smith, the venerable author OF which
has just died Not one of the critics
question its undoubfed popularity, but
they do question, and seriously, the
poetic and sentimental worth of the
poem.
The history of the song is curious in
itself, just as curious as the popularity
of the hymn. When young man Dr.
Smith set to work to translate lot of
German songs for American school
children. Among those German songs
he found one ''Heiis dis i'm Sieger-
kranz. The air struck him and he de-
cided to write a national American
hymn to the music, which he did. Later
he discovered that this music was the
music Of the British national hymn,
God Save the King that the English
song had been adapted in Germany
and that he, not knowing the venerable
tune. had adapted it to America"
Its popularity was widespread at once,
to the surprise of the author who con-
sidered 1T very simple and unworthy,
but who in a hundred other attempts
could write nothing to equal it or ap-
proach it in popularity.
Why it was popular the critics could
never tell, any more than it's author
could. 1t is TO be imagined easily that
the tune having been popular in Eng
land could exercise the same potent
but mysterious charm ON the American
ear. But there can be found no strong
reason for the popularity of the stanzas
or the sentiment unless it is the meagre
explanation offered once by Oliver
Wendell Holmes, who said:
Now, there's Smith. His name will be
honored by every school child IN the land
when I have been forgotten a hundred
years. He wrote MY Country, It's of
Thee" If he had said Our Country" the
hymn would not have been immortal, but
that my was a master stroke. Every
one who sings the hymn at once feels a
personal ownership in his native land.
The hymn will asst as long as the country

NEWSPAPER wRANGLING.

There is a vicious war on among the
newspapers of Chicago, and the fight
being contagious, has been caught by
st Louis The fight comes on the re-
duction of the selling price of the pa
pers in the city, the Chicago papers
maintaining the old price for their
country patrons.
The paper which started the row was
the Chicago Tribune. 1t reduced its
subscription to / cent. The other bet
ter-class journals of Chicago protested
against this reduction but followed
suit. The Tribune announced that the
change was made because papers could
be printed cheaper now than ever and
it proposed to share the increased IA
cilitieS and decreased expenses with its
readers But it shares this with its
city readers only and. excepting in the
matter Of postage, there is only one
explanation for the Tribune's reduction
in price in the city, while it maintains
the old price outside the city That
explanation is that the Tribune did not
make the reduction for the benefit of
its readers but for the express pur-
pose of sustaining its waning adver-
Using patronage BY increasing its
circulation it hopes to increase the
worth of its advertisements and to win
back merchants who had deserted it
The Tribune has been a great paper
and is still, but that inroadS have been
made into its field there is no doubt
For if it had held its own there would
not have been any such reduction.
The reduction having been made
there can be but one result, and that
is break in the high newspaper stan
dard maintained for so many years in
Chicago Either the Tribune must be-
come a second-class sheet and drag the
other journals down with it, or the
other journals must go back to their
former prices, and fight the Tribune to
a finish there.
The general idea In regard to the
large newspapers is that they are great
money-making concerns. This idea is
not shared by the men inside large
newspaper offices. The newspaper
managers whole life is spent In fight
ing expenses, and the anticipation of
salaries being CUT is a perpetual bug
bear in newspaper offices. Competi-
ton is no where stronger than in the
newspaper field, and it has resulted in
giving the people n great deal for a
small price, with exceedingly small
margins for the publishers.
