Whose children have joined the chorus
Sung by the heavenly band.
Oh! the little cribs are empty,
Once so full of happy life,
While we are left in this weary world
To toll in its hurry and strife.
But when our work is over,
And death has brought its Gains,

Shall we feel the childish arms.
And then how sweet the thought!
How glad we are to know
Once more we'll hear our darling say
Mamma, love you SOL"

CLEVELAND, O., May 1.-The gen.
eral conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, which will be in session
for one month. was called to order in
the Central Armory this morning by
Bishop Bowman, the Oldest of the
Methodist bishops. There are four ac-
credited women delegates to the con-
ence and their admission will cause one
of the hottest fights ever waged in the
conference. The woman question came
up Immediately after the appointment
of the committees and the battle was
commenced. The work of the COM
mittees will be among the most i'm
portant of the conference. That on
episcopacy will handle the questions re-
lating to the bishops, including that of
adding to their number for work in the
home and foreign fields. That on ju-
dietary will handle all questions rela-
tive to legal matters. That on itinerary
will work on the proposition to take
the time limit away and allow pastors
to remain in any one charge as long as
they may do good work. The work of
the committee on revision Of the dis.
cipline and temperance will also be of
the utmost importance. From three to
eight bishops will be added to the
present number.

SELF with the assertion that it and the
board of trade of its city inspired the
Governor of Virginia to commence the
proceedings against those tracks that

TO- And it does all this with that de-
cision before its eyes, which expressly
states, and is so defined by those who
rendered it, that the only sort OF punish
able betting at the Alexandria county
tracks is that of pool selling, which was
not practiced on those tracksand will not
be. and that betting by foreign books

CARDINAL SAToLLI, the papal able
gate, will soon leave this country, per-
manently, for Rome. His mission here
has done his church harm, rather than
good, as on his arrival ne subjected
himself to the influence of Archbishop
Ireland, whose policy is in favor Of
public, rather than parochial schools,
and who, by sustaining Fathers Nc
Glynn, Ducey and other priests who
set the commands of their superior
church officials at open defiance, foment-
ed and melted rebellion in the ranks
of the church, though discipline is as
necessary for success therein as in the

1T HAS long been publicly stated by
Northern republicans and Northern re-
publican newspapers that the almost
certain nomination of Mr.. Mckinley at
st. Louis will be due solely and en-
tirely to the placing of money in large
sums where it would do the most good,
and now it is publicly stated by North
ern democrats and Northern democratic
newspapers, that the declaration OF the
Michigan democrats at their recent State
convention in favor of gold money was
the result of the liberal use of silver
certificates. General corruption was
the predisposing cause of the decline
and fail of the Roman empire; the ex-
citing cause was the public sale OF its
highest Office. The fact that like causes
produce like effects is not conducive to
the contentment of those who believe
in the demagogic cry that the voice OF
the people is the voice of God.
