MethOdiSm at CeciltOn,

MIR. EDITOR: week or two ago we noticed
an article in the WING headed "a Ministerial
Tangle." We are glad to say Cecilton is not
in the "tangle,' due perhaps to the fact that
sour committee gained the ear of the bishop
and presiding elder and got the man they
asked for Anyway we are not in the tangle,
and are delighted with our new preacher and
his wife. Owing to the indecision on the
part of the outgoing pastor as to the time he
would vacate the parsonage, it was impossible
to arrange for general reception upon their
arrival, so few members of the Ladies' Aid
went to the parsonage and prepared dinner
for them, but the following Tuesday evening
a reception was rendered them by the entire
charge. about one hundred and fifty being
present. The evening was spent in social
intercourse, enlivened with music. One
hundred and forty partOok of refreshments
which consisted of ice cream and cake III
abundance, and Il delightful time was had by
all present.
Already Mr.. Artcrs has made n fine impress
sion. A full house has greeted him at every
service, and his earnest, deeply spiritual
sermons have been attentvely listened to and
greatly enjoyed. The prospect for pros
porous year is very bright and promising.
We are sure our pastor will find a band of
loyal Christians ready to stand by him. In.
deed we believe this is usually the case when
true servant of God having the work at
heart and "laying aside all malice, and all
guile, and hypocrisies. ard envies, and all
evil speaking, taking the oversight of the
flock, not as lords over them but being en-
samples to the Gock,' faithfully declares the
whole councils of God. presenting the Gospel
in its purity. he will always find those who
are ready to rally about him and hold up his
hands. We are looking and trusting for
much good to be accomplished during this
conference year.

is afforded Congress OF revising the tariff,
the hope of the country is that a bill will
be passed so satisfactory to the people in
general that agitation upon the question
will be allayed and American industries
given an uninterrupted chance to flourish.
The Republican politicians, however, are
apparently bent upon satisfying every pro-
tected industry, irrespective of the effect
upon the consumer or upon the revenue,
while the Democrats are secretly hoping
that the bill will be loaded down with
every absurdity and imposition upon the
consumers, so that popular uprising
against the new law may he rendered in
evitable. Thus the parties are playing
politics, and craftsmanship is thrown on
the shelf.

THE death of Ex-senator Daniel w.
Voorhees, at his Washington residence on
Saturday morning last at the age of rs
years removes from public life figure that
has been conspicuous for many years in
political circles at the National Capital.
Mr.. Voorhees, was a man of splendid ability
as an orator. ranking among the greatest in
the country One of the most famous
episodes of legislative history was the
debate between Senators Voorhees, and
ingalls,, the virile Kansas stateman. Osten-
sibly tariff debate, the discussion became
a personal battle of two giants skilled in all
the weapons Of invective and sarcasm. The
ex-senator was greatly loved by his friends
and respected by his enemies for his char
acter and attachments.

For at least fifteen years the country has
been torn up over the tariff question The
tariff of 1888 was made in response to a
popular demand for reduction OF duties, but
the benefciaries Of tariff succeeded in
having the act framed in their own interest.
The Mckinley act was practically of the
same character The Wilson act was
singular tumble of Republican protection,
Democratic free trade and Populistic vagary.
Incorporated in it was an income tax,
which had been favored by the Populists
in the preceding campaign and which the
Republican and Democratic platforms had
not even mentioned. The bill was literally
the product of Senatorial log-rolling, and
was so unsatisfactory to President Cleve-
land that he refused to sign it, although
unwilling to accept the responsibility of
vetoing it. Now that another opportunity

SENATOR JONES, of Arkansas, Chairman
of the Demo cratic National Committee, is
reported to have written letter in which
he declares that while he will vote against
the Dingley bill, he will not obstruct its
passage in the Senate by dilatory tactics.
If the Republicans wish to pass the
Dingley bill as measure of relief to the
country, Senator Jones is willing to give
them full opportunity to take the respon-
sibility of Republican policy.
The country will hope that Senator Jones
has been correctly reported and that his
views reflect the purposes of his Democratic
colleagues. The Democrats will be in a
better position before the people il they
recognize the right of the ma ority to pass a
reasonable tariff bill than if they obstruct
it and throw business into fresh confusion.
They cannot afford to take the responsible
ity for delay and filibusterng, and Senator
Jones' unwillingness to have them make a
fight on these lines is an indication of
sound Judgment considered solely from
the standpoint of Democratic interests.

conservative. 1t did not urge that
Spain be wiped out and Cuba be made
free at once. President Mckinley urges
the early annexation of Hawaii and the
passage of an arbitration treaty with
England and her colonies.

Filled Cheese.

The filled cheese law seems to be
doing good work. There was a decided
falling off in the number of factories
and in the production of artificial cheese
from the time when it went into effect,
September 8, 1896, down to the 1st OF
last July, according to statistics COM
piled at the Treasury Department. In
that period 1,663,O67 pounds of filled
cheese were manufactured, upon which
a tax of $1,000 was collected, against
100000 pounds during the fiscal year
1896, 100000 600 pounds in 1895, and IA,

Connecticut has adopted, by a ballot
of It's citizens, one of the most sweep
ing constitutional provisions yet
framed against illiterate voters. The
amendment to the State constitution
received an immense majority, more
than nine-tenths Of the voters giving 1t
their approval. According to the re-
turns there were 47,005 yeas and only
1880 nays. Every town In the State
voted In the affirmative. The amend
men. provides that EVERY person shall
be able to read in the English language
any article Of the constitution or any
section Of the statutes Of this State be-
fore being admitted an elector." Here
tofore electors in Conecticunt have
been required only to read in their own
language, and a test Of those who al
legged that they could read In Russian,
Turkish, Bohemian, or Polish was
necessarily difficult. A considerable
knowledge Of the English language will
hereafter be essential in the Connecti-
cut voter. The era when political ques-
lions could be decided In that common
wealth by men totally ignorant of the
language Of the country has gone by.
The adoption Of this amendment al
most unopposed may be assumed to in
dictate growing sentiment against
voters unable to read the laws Of a
State. Foreign voters in Connecticut
made no effort to defeat it.

A physician called to prescribe for a
cataleptic patient in Bellevue Hospital
suggested that she might be awakened
from her slumbers by means of music.
Unfortunately his suggestion was not
followed out or we might have had a
startling exhibition Of the effects. of
music upon the sick, especially those
suffering from nervous or muscular
diseases. 1t might have led to the use
OF chromatics instead of calomel and
sonatas In place Of soporifics. Then
the prescriptions of the future might
have read something like this: "R One
Moonlight Sonata one Schubert's
'Serenade.' Take just before retiring"
Wagner's music might be prescribed
for those suffering from the more seri-
ouse troubles, while patients with tri-
fling diseases could have the popular
street airs of the music halls PLAYED
for their benefit.

Few Americans are aware of the
fact that Russia, huge, powerful, des-
potic Russia, now bitterly regrets the
selling of Alaska to the United States,
and that in the more intimate, political
circles in the Cars capital to-day there
is q deal of buster about the mistaken
policy which turned over SO rich ter
ritory to another nation. This senti.
ment has been growing for several
years, but the discovery Of the Alaskan
gold fields has greatly stimulated it.
For Alaska, with all it's forests, fisher
les and gold-stocked mountains, was
Russia's own domain, and Russian sub
jects should have had the mining of
those vast deposits Of the yellow metal.
But the Entertainments with which
Catherine and her successors stealthily
and steadily extended their frontiers
toward the south and west were given
distinct setback when Stewards nego-
tiations resulted in the transfer Of AL
aska to the United States. The views

Expansion has been the rule Of Rus
STA, ever since the overthrow of the
Tartar race, and when it became gen.
orally known in st. Petersburg that the
purchase had been concluded the dis

But to lose country full Of gold mines
nay, not to lose, to willingly barter
away land in which gold was even
then known to exist! Az, there's the
rub! Perhaps there would have been
no need to welcome President Faure so

not absorbed Alaska. No need, then, Of
