One of the interesting discussions
during the closing days of the Meth
odist general conference in Cleveland
was on the subject of the time limit
from five years to ten. The debate
showed a strong leaning toward the
privilege of longer pastorates, and
an amendment which would have re-
moved the time limit altogether was
laid on the table by the close vote of
$50 to $50. At the last the whole
matter was tabled, and so there will
be no change for four years to come.
The large vote in favor OF unlimited
pastorates indicates a growing senti-
ment in that direction, and it may
not be many years before this great
feature of the Methodist church will
be eliminated. The long adherence
to the custom of periodical changes
proves that it has much of merit.

THE OLD CRY.

The Vermont Democracy held their
State convention last week and have
put 10 an exceptionally strong ticket.
1t is made up o. Jnelr oesC men and
will doubtless receive the full party
vote. The usual resolutions, de-
nouncing everything, including pro-
hibition, we're endorsed. A Demo
cratic convention without thrust
at prohibition would be a rarity, in
deed. Now nobody takes any stock
in the sincerity of the Democracy on
this issue. If Vermont was a high
license State this same Democracy
would howl loudly and kick savagely
against it. The fact is, their opposi-
ton to prohibition is not sincere.
They are simply "playing the gal
leries." If this party would turn half
of the energy it uses in making pro-
hibition unpopular, toward the en-
forcement of the law, people would
take stock in it's professions; as it is
they do not.

Down in the city of Burlington
where the five Republican papers, in
Guiding two dailies, have been devot-
ing editorial space by the yard to the
task of convincing the Republicans
of the state that Major Josiah Grout
was the probable candidate for the
nomination for Governor a caucus
was held Wednesday night. The bal
lot box was open one hour, fully fifty
per cent. of the Republican vote in
the city was cast and when the count
was made W. W. Stickney of Ludlow,
the candidate of the people, had a
majority of 168 over the "ring can
didate."
The result of this caucus is the
voice of the people in outspoken pro-
test against machine politics. The
caucus was snapped upon the Repub.
leans of Burlington by the "ring" ele-
ment with only thirty-six hours no.
tice, but the younger, progressive
members of the party responded with
will and the outcome was a ma.
iority of 16S for a candidate who is
conducting a canvass above board
and who is relying upon his fitness
for the position to give him the nom
ination.-Barre Leader.

The immense corn crop of last year

We observe that Hon. Frank Plum
ley OF Mortified, an Eden boy by the
way, denies the statement that he is
to make contest with Gen. Grout
for the Congressional nomination.
We took little stock in the statement,
knowing that Mr.. Plumley was too
level-headed to be deluded into the
thought that he could beat Gen.
Grout-this year at least. Sometime,
and perhaps not very far off. Mr.,
Plumley may occupy a seat in the
popular branch of Congress.
A Stickney delegation was elected
at the Burlington caucus last Wed
nesday evening and this right in the
face and eyes of the Free Press
which not only claims to be the
"ablest edited" paper in the State
but to represent the sentiment of thu
Republicans of Burlington. We dc
not know but Major Grout is the
choice of a majority of the Republi
cans of Burlington. This may b,
true; but we do know that the young
Republicans there and elsewhere hav,
become extremely weary of simply
walking up and taking the medicine
dealt out to them year after year by
