The question of the admission of
women as delegates to the Methodist
Episcopal General Conference, now in
session in Cleveland, which has occupied
the attention of that body for the week
past, has practically been decided in favor
of the women, though a compromise was
agreed to by the parties at issue, iu order
that no shadow might rest upon the title
of women to a seat in that great body.
The women now occupying seats in the
General Conference are to retain them,
and by the same vote by which the
women were given seats, the conference
also decided to submit to the annual con-
~ferences a proposed amendment to the
constitution, providing that hereafter all
General Conference delegates shall be
over 25 years of age, and that they shall
have been members of the Methodist
Church for at least five years prior to
their election. It also provides that no
conference shall be debarred from at
least one ministerial and one lay delegate.
This constitutional amendment is to be
submitted to the annual conferences and
must receive a three-fourths vote to Oe
adopted. The amendment is construed to
mean that women as we'll as men will re
eligible as lay delegates, the word laymen
not being used.

Many of Carrot A. Hobart's friends
believed that his candidacy for Vice
President would have been im~measurably
strengthened had the New Jersey Repub-
lican State Convention declared fatty for
Mckinley. This view is upheld in a
Washington letter to the Philadelphia
Press: Hobart, of New Jersey, is an
other candidate much spoken of for Vice
President. But the fact that New Jersey
held back and did not instruct its dele
gates for Mckinley, and the fact that he
will not need them at st. Louis, will not
held a New Jersey candidate. Mr..
Hobart has himself expressed an opinion
that New Jersey preferred Mckinley.
But it will take something more than the
personal opinion of one delegate to se-
cure the Vice Presidency for New Jersey.
II the New Jersey delegates should come
out at once for Mckinley, they would
stand a better chance of securing consid-
Grafton for any candidate they may have
for the Vice Presidency"

Mr.. Loudenslager's denomination.

The Washington correspondent of the
State Gazette ran across a representative
J~erseyman at the National Capital the
other day when the question of the
denomination of the First District Mem.
Der came up as the topic of conversation.
The opinion was expressed by the leader
that SIT is not certain, in the first place.
that Senator Stokes, who is the only rival
fitted to meet Loudenslager in the con.
v%ention, is an active aspirant for the
nomination. He would probably take Il
if it were thrown to him. but he will not
hustle for t." The leader then went nm
to explain the Congressional situation in
this District as he understood II. and M
he spoke from a representative stand.
point as to make his predictions of va,ua
as a guide:
Congressman Loudenslaper is a keen
politician. He has the faculty of seeing
where he can make points and the energy
to make them; and the work that he has
done to Influence the nomination his wav
will count for an awful sight for him
when the district convention assemblies.
There are five counties in the district
Camden, Gloucester, Salem, Cumberland
and Cape May. Camden is as big as any
two OF them, and Loudenslager's success
in getting Browning, of that county. the
Chief Clerkship in the House, binds all
the leading men of Camden to him.
Browning was backed by them all, and
Loudepslager put them all under oblipa-
tions when he landed Browning in
response to their solicitations. That
seems to assure him the support of the
Camden delegates. 1t is to be taken for
granted that he will be able to carry the
delegation from his own county of
Gloucester. He has got a foothold in
Salem by securing the appointment of
one of her sons to a subordinate clerkship
in the House. He has favored Cumber-
land by securing a position for a Vine
land man. And then the success of his
Maurice Cove lighthouse enterprise,
which interests all the diggers in that
busy oyster gathering region, gives him
another claim to Cumberland's support.
"Camden and Gloucester will give him
enough delegates in the oonven.
tion to assure him the nomination. The
seatterers from Cumberland and Salem
will make up the complement for him,
and l don't see that he can be beaten"

THE PINGREE RECORD.

Grand Rapids Herald was very ac-
tive supporter of Mayor Pingree for
Governor in 1892. Thousands OF copies
were scattered over western Michigan
and the paper exerted strong infu-
ence in securing support for its candi-
date. The following editorial from
the Herald OF April 18th would indi-
cate that there has been a decided
change In the attitude of the paper and
the reasons given should be carefully
considered by those who believe that
Mayor Plngree would reduce state
taxation. People should investigate
these matters for themselves and when
the Mayors friends make the claim
that he would conduct the affairs OF
the state more economically than the
other candidates it is well enough to
ascertain what he has accomplished in
Detroit towards relieving the burdens
OF the taxpayers.
"The Hon. Sybrant Wesselius is, as
everybody knows, an ardent supporter
OF Mayor Pingree. He Is anxious Mr..
Pingree should be Michigan's next
governor and to that end he is bend
ing all his energies. But in all
fairness, is Mr.. Pingree such man as
this state wants for its chief executivet
There is but one way OF determining
the character OF any man and that is
by his past acts. AS mayor OF Detroit,
Mr.. Pingree discovered the potato
scheme and he was instrumental in
securing three-cent car fares for De-
troit. These are properly enough
placed to his credit, but they are not
enough to equip him for the executive
duties of great state like Michigan.
They are not enough to warrant Mr..
Wesselius in saying, as he did say on
last Saturday night, that, Within my
recollection state taxes have risen 1853
per cent. and they are still rising.
Where will this endp IL it keeps on
the entire assets will be all taxes. Now
this is what Mr.. Pingree will remedy.
Mr.. Wesselius should have informed
himself as to Mr.. Pingree's record be-
fore making that statement. Had he
informed himself he would have
discovered that during the six
years of Pingree in Detroit the
tax levy has increased from 81
236, 463.54 to SO, 2Sl 1882. That
does not look very much like economy
or like a reduction in tax rates. On
the contrary, it would seem to indicate
that if Mr.. ningree were governor the
increase in state taxes would soon
equal the l6S per cent. rise pro-
claimed by Mr.. Wesselius. But
even this does not accurately measure
Pingree extravaganza. The state tax
levy for 1895 is $3,0l3, 1880, and the
Detroit tax levy for 1895 is So, 2S1 1882.
That is, Mr. Pingree asks 1867 ,529. 1e
more to run the city of Detroit than is
required to run the machinery of the
whole state. Had Mr.. Wesselius in
formed himself OF this tax levy he
would not have had anything to say
about Mr.. Pingree 'remedying' al
legged increased state taxation. But
there is vet another piece of ex.
travagance chargeable against the
Pingree reign and that is the
increase in Detroit's municipal debt
In 1889 the debt was only $780,.
024. AS, since then it has increased SO,
601, 796. 40. This is not good show
ing. 1t is not such showing as will
inspire confidence or win votes to tax
payers; they like economy as well as
potatoes"
