THE METHODIST LAYMEN.

The laymen's convention, which is called
for the 18th, promises to be much larger
and more important than its original pro-
jectors hoped for. 1t seems to not only
have awakened an interest throughout the
State. and especially in this city, but it has
attracted attention throughout the church.
A similar convention was held last week
at Springfield, o., which not only adopted
resolutions of greeting, but appointed fra
ternal delegates to attend the convention;
and a similar convention has been called
to meet in Baltimore Oct s. the callers of
which referred to the proposed Indiana
convention, but not the least significant re-
suit is a two-column editorial from DR..
Buckley. the Jupiter Tonans of that church,
in the New York Advocate of the 9th. the
conclusions of which are that 1.-The agita-
ton will continue and if properly man
aged on the simple question of equal rep
resentation it is certain to prevail" beg
ging leave to suggest ito all laymen in
favor of the movement that the less they
say of an extravagant sort the greater will
be the prospect of their speedy success"
But there are indications that neither of
the COuOlllOIlS precedent Is likely 10 De Cd
served as to the general agitation of the
question, whatever may be the programme
OF this convention. From inquiries concern
ing the probable drift of the convention the
Journal learns that there are indications
that an attempt may be made at the meet
ing TO include more in its scope than is
contained in the call, which embraces only
the single proposition of equal representa-
ton. but so far the friends of the single
proposition seem to have the matter in
their power; but outside of the very conser-
vative men who called the convention there
is a growing sentiment that having failed
in three successive attempts TO obtain that
and nothing more, the time has come to
strike for all that is included in what they
regard as interviewer in the one propos-
ton This is likely to be the only ques-
ton of difference to arise in The eonven-
ton. AS to the probable extravaganza
things likely TO be said. the Journal has
no information.
But If more than the single question Of
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1897-09-13

equal lay representation should crop out
it may be accounted for as the broader de-
mands of laymen elsewhere have come
about. Rev. DR.. H. K Carroll local
preacher in that church and one of the edi-
tors of the Independent, writing 20 a lay
man OF this city, says:
/ am particularly glad to see that the
laymen of Indiana have taken a firm stand,
and trust that the influence Of what tl.ey
say VIII be great throughout The church.

satisfied that the laymen not only want it
but are determined to have it, Up to the
la General Conference / was perfectly in
different as to whether the laymen were
represented in the annual conference or not.
But what / saw at Cleveland convinced me
conferences as we'll as in the General Con-
ference; that laymen need to be trained in
church craftsmanship much minis
tefS and that they appear at a decided
cause of their lack of acquaintance with
the ms and outs of the church.
If the mind of such a man as DR.. Carroll
has undergone a change under recent ex-
periences it need not seem strange tfat a
majority OF the coming. convention may all
so have changed, especially since their at
tention was called, by DR.. Geodwin's adj
dress at Acton, to the fact that the present
so-called lay delegation is not lay represen-
tation at all-only representatives of the
quarterly conferences, which are the crea-
lures of the pastors not of the laity

The PennsyIvania Tragedy.

The sheriff read the riot act and ordered
the mob, composed entirely of foreigners,
to halt, and upon their refusal to do so a
volley was fired into their midst, killing fiji
teen and wounding forty of their number.
The accounts are conflicting as to details,
but as it is not shown that the miners We're
armed and as but one of the deputies was
wounded, the battle seems to have been
a very one-Sided affair, similar to many
Of the ShootingS between the whites and the
eigners, but they were human beings, and
the event is most deplorable. - Muncie
Times.
The killing of twenty-five striking miners
and the wounding of scores of others yester-
day near Hazleton. Pa, by deputy sheriffs
can be characterized in no other terms than
brutal murder The shooting was done
without provocation. And even had there
been provocation the sheriff was not justi-
fable in ordering his deputies to fire on an
unarmed band OF marching men, ignorant
of the meaning Of the riot act" which he
read to them 1t is very evident that the
sheriff was not the man for the occasion.
Had he been equal TO the emergency there
would have been no loss of life and the
State saved lasting disgrace.-Crawfords-
Vile Journal.
In yesterdays conflict between striking
miners and the authorities in Pennsylvania,
as reported in our telegraph news, it is
easily seen that the strikers were in the
wrong. A horde of Anarchist foreigners,
holding law in contempt, gathered for the
ayOwed purpose of going on private prop
erty to prevent peaceful laboring men from
working. The sheriff very properly sought
to restrain the commission of the intended
crime and the strikers resisted An inspec-
ton of the names of the killed and wounded
is sufficient to indicate the character of
the men constituting the mob. The sheriff
undoubtedly did his duty and Will be COM
mended by all law-abiding citizens-Plym-

FORTHCOMING.

Western farmers are apt to speak dis
paragingy of the agricultural methods
practiced in the Atlantic States; their own
crops are so much larger and raised with
so much less labor that they fail to realize
that quality is sometimes more important
than quantity, and that Improvement in
this respect is to be secured only by the
adoption of the painstaking methods of the
Eastern farmers. This difference in quality
is especially noticeable in orchard fruits.
The Eastern farmer plants an apple orchard
and thereafter watches each tree as if it
were the only one in his possession. He
protects it and cuItivates it when it is small,
prunes it as it grows larger, and if, when
the first fruit comes, it is not of the best he
CRAFTS the tree with the choicest scions he
can procure. When it comes into bloom he
sprays it with a fluid that destroys the in
sects, and when the apples are ripe he picks
them by hand. packs them with care and so
makes his crop famous. What is more to
the point, he gets a good price for it. The
Western farmer also plants an orchard but
he let's it come up as it will with but little
attention. He has no time for "fussing''
with it, and in particular looks with scorn
upon the spraying process recommended
by the Eastern farm journals. That he
loses by this neglect is evident to dealers
who contrast the wormy carelessly packed
fruit of inferior flavor that comes from his
orchard with the Eastern product free from
blemish fine in quality and in demand by
consumers. AS it happens, this year the
Eastern apple crop is light and is nowhere
as heavy as last year, but the bulk
of the supply must come from
the West. The quality, however, says
a Chicago commission man, is not first
class, the fruit being wormy. This dealer,
who is quoted in a Chicago paper, says
plainly that the inferior quality of apples
throughout the West is due to the failure
to use the precautions practiced in the East.
I'm New England he says, growers
spray their trees with a solution of paris
green and oil emulsions. They use a hose
and treat the trees first when in bloom in
the spring, and again two or three times
before maturity. When they fail to do this
the worms lay eggs in the blossom, and
by the time the apple is formed the young
worms are old enough to penetrate the core
and ruin the fruit. In the West little spray
ing is done, and the crop suffers for it,"
This is street evidence from an authorita-
