A union or federation OF all the protes-
tapfschurches in America has often been
proposed, but no such union exists. OF
Is likely to be formed, at least for
years to come. The Sunday Schools, how
ever, representing.all the churches and
over one sixth OF the entire population
Of the country, have been organized for
nearly 40 years, and the organization is
increasing In strength every year. Sixty
states, territories and Canadian pro-
vinces are organized, with All annual con-
vention, a board OF officers, and auxiliary
associations in the counties and town
ships. An international convention is
held every three years, to which each Of
the go states and provinces sends a dele
CATION.
The international executive com mmittee,
with headquarters in Chicago keeps
force of secretaries in the field, attend
ing conventions and working for the ex,
tension and Improvement of the sunday
Schools.
The lesson committee chooses the SO
called international lessons, which are
studied in nearly all the 1i0,000 Sunday
Schools of the United States and Canada.
The eighth international sunday School
convention is TO meet in Boston thh
year, June 23d to Goth, and a worlds con-
vention will lie called to meet next July

Speaking of MIR. Frank Stockton re-
minds US OF q little tilt that we once
overheard between him and Mr.. kudyard
Kipling. The two gentlemen met at an
authors reception. and after some pre-
liminary conversation Mr.. Stockton said !:
"By the way, Kipling, Pm thinking OF
going over to India some day myself"
"Do so, my dear fellow" replied Mr..
Kipling, with a suspicious warmth Of cor
diality. "Come rs soon as ever you can !!
And, by the way, do you know what
we'll do with you when We get you out
there, away from, your friends and fam
lily? Well, the first thing will be to lure
you out into the jungle and have you
seized and bound by our trusty wallahs.
Then Well lay you on your back and have
one OF the very biggest elephants stand
over you and poise his ample forefoot di-
rectly over your head. Then I'll say in
my most insinuating tones, Come now,
Stockton, which was 1.-THE LADY or the
Tiger?' What would you do then?'
"Oh, well, that's easy enough. /
should tell you lie."
"Thsnks, awfully! That's just as good
as the truth, now that you've told me
that it's lie. II you say the sTiger' I'll
know 1t was the Lady; and IL you say

gresham from Ohio is by no means to be
wholly credited with the framing Of that
measure, an important feature OF when

efforts Of our own Senator ALpRIcH, on

fame and honor is only in part due 20
his Identification with the act. He was
recognized ss a man OF statesmanship be-
fore he became chairman OF the ways and
means committee which brought him
nearer down to the.footligbts, and in fact,
his selection for that important position
was due to such recognition and he was
not unknown to the people either.
The stroke OF fortune and favor that
brought him into prom inence as the
"author" OF the tariff bill was happy
enough, but ii is a mistake to assert that
upon such good fortune rests hls claims
to tho Republican nomination ana to the
presidency, although IL is no small thing
to have been leader in framing great
industrial measure that has been justified
after a partizan attempt to destroy IL.

of course, MCKINLEY wigs HARRIsoS's

becoming chairman of the committee on

recognized as among the foremost cham

tariff considering committee. He is cred
tied with framing the tariff plank in the
party platform for three successive ma

years he has travelled much over the
country, explaining and advocating Re-
publican tariff ideas and meeting thou

while during the campaign Of 1894 that

ference to Be Held There.
Important Matters Will Be discussed
Next Week.

The Eastern conference OF the Primitive
Methodist Church win be held at the
Ruggles Street Methodist Church from
the l1th to the 10th OF the present month.
A largo amount OF work is laid out for
the conference and many of the promi-
nent clergymen OF the denomination VIII
preach during the eight days that the ses-
sion will be held. President Rev. j..
Mason, pastor OF the church, has issued
a neat pamphlet containing the order OF
exercises during the conference, and a
short history OF the congregation Tor
which he is such an earnest and faithful
worker.
For many years, what is now known as
the Primitive Methodist Eastern confer
ence was formerly the New England ana
Eastern Districts. of the original Eastern
conference, which then included the
Pennsylvania and Ohio work. In 1890 an
sgitation was begun by the Pennsylvania
