Chicago banks report that a great deal Of

senator sevveli making a RECORD.

General Sewell is evidently determined
to make a record as Senator. this time,
q record that win be worthy of the party
whose chosen representative he is. His
first speech IN the Senate was made in
resistance to a resolution offered by
Senator Cali. of Florida. providing for
an investigation by a select COMMITTEES
as to whether railroads were in the habit
of influencing the election of United
States Senators by corrupt or other
means. TIL Sage of Camden, as his adj
mirers love to call him. was outraged
In all his finer feelings by this PROPOSE
tion. He was willing. of course, thai a
committee should go down to Florida
and Investigate anything and everything;
but he indignantly protested against any
drag net inquiry. and he especially OPP
Jersey-in the absence of specific
charges.
This was real nice. as Samantha might
remark. 1t paled into insigniicance.
however. before the utburst of patriot
ism to which the General treated the
country on Thursday. His resolutions
clipping down the Monroe Doctrine to
Camden measure and jumping on Pre-
sident Cleveland for his rash haste in
asserting the honor and the rights of
the country, were enough to warm the
cookies Of the New Jersey heart. 1t is
something fine to hin tbs as a re-
suit of the reform wave which has been
careering to and fro over the State for
the last year or two. we have a man to
represent US in Washington who believes
in peace first. last and all the time, and
who stands ready to rebuke any impul-
sive President who dares to talk out
from the shoulder when the Nations
cheek is smftten.
The only disturbing thing is the doubt
as to whether our patriotic Senator win
receive the support to which he Is en-
titled from his own party. There are
those abominable hre-eaters Frye and
Lodge and Hoar and half a dozen others.
The chances are more than even that
they Will jump on our Camden warriors
pacific layout with all their feet. The
action of the Senate Committee on For
Gig Affairs. yesterday. on the Monroe
Doctrine resolution was calculated to
make him feel tired of the rasbness aid
folly Of mankind in general. Certainly
the country must be going to the dogs
when q statesman cannot get the support
Of his own party in jumping on an OBJ
noxious administration at the mere cost
Of a little national honor.

MINISTER'S OBJECT.
Efforts 10 Be Made 70
Change Plan Of Locat-
ing Methodist Con.
ferences.
AloEVENIENCEs OF PRESENT SYSTEM
Big Cities. Should Be Selected and
Ministers Would Not Be
Subjected 10 An
noyances.

Among Methodist ministers a desire to
hold the annual conference in some cen
{tral city has resolved itself into the con-
crete form Of a resolution which 1t ia
intended will be presented at the Newark
conference to be held in the spring. The
present plan of skipping about from one
quarter of the State to another has a few
merits and a great many dement's. the
principal one of the latter being that it
is extremely inconvenient.
Last year the conference was held
midway between two little hamlets on
Staten Island, several miles from any
where. and as 1t rained steadily all the
time the brethren were obliged 10 wade
through lakes of rich red mud or en-
danger their lives by riding in rickety
old stages, which threatened at every
jolt to resolve themselves into a heap of
splinters.
Not the least annoying part Of this
present mode Of locating a conference
where some ambitious elder wants to
have the honor of entertaining the bish-
op, is that the expenses are generally
heavier than If 1t were held say in some
big city. and 1t must always be borne
in mind tina the purses of the brethren
are not heavy and they have to foot
the bills.

conference that the conference shall de-
