Election of Bishops.

At the NJ E. General Conference which
met in Cincinnati, balloting was carried
on for nearly week for the election of
two bishops. The deadlock was broken
last Tuesday and Chaplain c. c. McCabe
and DIR. Earl Cranston were elected.
Chaplain McCabe is the noted lecturer
who started out with the subject 1.-The
Sunny Side of Life in Libby Prison." and
the aim and call for a "million ($) for
missions" He not only showed the
bright spots in very entertaining
manner, of place seemingly devoid OF
anything but horrors, but raised more
than million for missions" Chaplain
McCabe delivered this lecture in Rising
Sun about II years ago.

To Race or Not to Race.

The Wing makes a gingerly
statement last week in reference to
"a proposed new race track to be
located at Red Hill, Billy Thomp-
son of Gloucester fame being the
inspiring genius of the new enter
prise. Elkton sentiment, if the
statement of the paper is true re-
Election of public sentiment of the
town, halts over the new scheme.
Seems to be under CONVICTION as it
were. If "Billy" and his pals go
to town, invest in few suits of
clothes, groceries and dry goods
literally, the enterprise would
appear a good thing. The Democrat
is satisfied in advance that the
project is an excellent one; makes
real estate so valuable. AS to good
morals-pooh! No money in them.

How to Treat a Wife.
(From Pacific Health Journal. J

First, get wife; second, be patient.
You may have great trials and perplexi
ties i'll your business, but do not there
fore, carry to your home cloudy or con-
tracted brow. Your wife may have trials,
which, though of less magnitude, may be
hard for her to bear. A kind word, a
tender look, will do wonders in chasing
from her brow all clouds of gloom. To
this we would add always keep a bottle
of Chamberlain Cough Remedy in the
house. 1t is the best and is sure to be
needed sooner or later. Your wife will
then know that you really care for her
and wish to protect her health. For sale

1t would appear by the following
extract from a Wall Street paper
that the millionaire aristocracy are
still good deal nervous.
cit will probably be well for the
delegates to understand that already
a movement is under way for the
organization of a business mems
party, representing the single issue
of opposition to free coinage and
support of the existing gold
standard"
Notwithstanding they have got
the Republican party completely in
their control, and are working hard
to destroy or subject the Democrat
party, they are prepared to organize
a party of their own. The title
"business mems" party, means
bankers, monopolists and the
general millionaire class. We hope
they will carry their threats into
execution and come out in the full
light of day with their millionaire
ticket.
The same paper goes on further
to give the origin of the movement
which has its inception in that
famous millionaire British Ameri-
can den, the New York Chamber
of Commerce.
at is betraying no confidence to
say that, while this movement is
not formally undertaken by the
Chamber of Commerce of this city,
yet prominent members of that
body, and especially those who
have been acting with the gold
standard committee of the chamber,
have as individuals, and with the
understanding that they have the
moral support of the chamber,
carried on such correspondence as
now justifies them in making the
prediction that there will be a gold
standard business mems party in
case one should be needed"
There is no more affinity between
this aristocratic class and American
farmers and mechanics than be-
tween Christ and Belial. In fact
tnat crowd is the American Belial.

The Friends.

We clip the following well
merited mention of the denOmina-
ton of Friends from the Easton
Gazette.
The annual gathering of Friends
in Philadelphia this week at their
"Yearly Meeting" is of no small
consequence to the Society nor to
the city. The very country and
government is often perceptibly in
fuenced by these gatherings.
The Friends hold such sway in
the city of Brotherly Love and the
state of VIM. Penn that their
memorials to Congress are always
regarded with special weight and
power, and their motives felt to be
unbiased and entirely void OF
political manoeuvring for selfish
ends.
In other words this religious body
has had and does enjoy the rare
distinction of being numerically
weak but exceedingly strong in
ability to emancipate mankind
from bigotry, narrowness, selfish
ness and hate in all its forms into a
purer and more peaceful way and
manner of life.
Their annual conferences are
always marked with stepping stones
of progress in the world at large,
and they are content with shaping
opinions and tearing down obstacles
to the onward march of Christian
civilization, even if they do not
gain in individual numbers and
build as many churches as some
others. 1t is true they are a
distinct people, unlike most other
sects, in that church pride and
creed is secondary to correct living
and correct influence.

Noise is all the argument the old

Noise is all the argument the old
party workers know, and they have
successfully worked the Mckinley
racket with it. They are now pre-
tending there is a heated contest
among them as to McKinley's
Sound" money principles. This
is all sham to keep the attention
of the masses riveted on the party
and away from contemplating the
straits to which old party measures
have brought them, hoping by
such noisy methods to still be able
to rope them in at the poles. Nc
Kinley is a man after Wall Streets
heart. Sherman endorses him and
that ought to settle all dispute as to
his so called "sound" money
principles.
