I'VE irrigationists are satisfied that
Congress will have to adopt our plan
of preventing the overflow of large
streams by the storage of the waters
near the heads of such streams in such
a manner as to feed the streams at
times Of low water and at other times
to be used in irrigation, navigation and
manufacturing Industries: and in this
way the damage to life and property
now caused each year by overnows
of arid lands can be reclaimed by these
waters and opened for settlement.
"'rhe people of the nation would soon
find 1t a paying Investment If Congress
would apply the appropriations annu-

make-shifts, to the storage of the
waters as well as far the use of agrl-

NO VOICE FROM HEAVEN.
for Their Personal Advantage, Objected
to--Nove to Correct the Evils.

New York Sept 2s--The Herald
says:
There was lively discussion at the
meeting If he metropolitan ministers
of the Methodist Episcopal church in
the Meth, dist Bonk Concern building,
over the proposition t. cultail the
power of the bishops
The subject discussed is one of the
most vital affecting the affairs Of the
church, ana 1t also embraced the
methods now r2scited Ia by leading
clcrgymen of The church in getting
transfers from ole conference to an
other with O view Of lettering them
selves, Tn" evils of the present sys-
tenn assumed ar aggravated form at
the annual conference of the New
York East conference last year, and
this vas really the cause of the pres
ent movement to ourtaii The power of
the bishops. Last year three of the
leading churches CT that conference
which were apparently unable to sat
isfy themselves with the timber near
at hand, the terms Of their pastors
having expired extended calls to men
In other Parts ur the oountrv. and as
sumed that they would get the
men Of their choice. But the united
BODY of ministers of the conference
that the conference was already full.
The protest was 40 strong that Bish-
Oh Walden concluded not to let the
three churches referred to have the
ministers to whom they had extended
calls.
The feeling that had been stirred up
in the New York East conference,
which comprises some of the leading
churches in the metropolitan districts,
had the effect, however,of bringing the
subject before the entire body Of min
listers, and it was for the purpose of
determining whether 1t was not posi-
BILE TO correct the evils that the meet
ing was held.
The question was opened by paper
read by the Rev. @. l., Thompson of
shelton, Conn, entitled, How to reg
ulate ministerial transfers" MIR.
Thompson did not take any radical
stand, but he was inclined to the
opinion that some change was advis
able, and he suggested as a remedy
ordinate power with the bishop in a
conference to settle the question as to
whether "A certain minister from the
outside should be allowed to fill pull
nit when a call was extended to him
by any church. Furthermore, DR..
Thompson said that the crowding OF
conferences by the admission of out
siders could be obvlated by providing
that no new minister shall be admit
ted unless an old minister LEAVE and
that no more shall be admitted than
leave the conference in any one year.
1t is considered likely that the meet
ing will result in the drawing up of
resolutions which win be presented AT
the general conference which convenes
next year, recommending certain reg
ulatiuns of the character indicated by
the paper Of Mr.. Thompson.
