pooling arrangement, but any arrange
ment among the manufacturers is justi-
fable that secures a fair reward for
capital and labor and does not unfairly
advance prices. There is no danger that
prices will thus be advanced. Our iron

taken undue advantage. of their consum-

was distinctly visible for a short time

view by a resolution offered by Rev.

commended that the general conference
take under consideration the advisa bility
and expediency of putting a colored man
on the bench of bishops. This was char
acterized by Rev. G. HI. McAnney as
an attempt at special legislation for the
colored race, many of whom, he said,
had shown themselves ungrateful for ia
yors received

McAnney, who was held up as an ideal
man by those of his race. In what way
did he benefit them? And when he died
did he leave a penny for their improve
ment!'

same strain, after which the resolution
disappeared from sight without having
been put to a vote or laid upon the table.

hat such radical action VIII be taken,

Latterly one or two of the roads gave
out the report that they could not law
fully give special rates to theatrical
parties unless they accorded the same
rates under the same conditions TO all
other parties. This was all the basis
there was for the reports that theatrical
parties would no longer be accorded re-
