MAY UNITE TWO CHURCHES.

Southern and Northern Branches of the N
E. Church TO Patch up Their Differ
ences at Washington Next Week.
Washington, D, @, Jan. 3-Fri
day next about $50 delegates repre-
senting the Methodist Episcopal
church and the Methodist Episcopal
church (south) will meet in joint
session here 1t will be the first
fraternal meeting in quarter of q
century Of the two divisions of the
church, and its object is to reunite
all the hodists under one ban
ner.
In 1914 Bishop Andrews of tho
Methodist Episcopal church was the
owner Of small group of slaves iu-
herited from his wife. The church
demanded that he free the slaves or
quit the pulpit. He declined to
give up the slaves, and that day,
with his departure from the confer
ence, came the seeding of all that
portion of the church south OF the
Mason and Dixon line. The slave
issue divided them, and from that
time. fifty-four years ago, all those
who believed in slavery and who
followed Bishop Andrews, have
formed the III. E. church (south.l
It is now proposed to unite and
ooalesce the branches, thus making
the Methodist Episcopal church
membership the largest Protestant
body in the world. As the slavery
question was settled thirty-four
years ago, and that was the only
issue upon which the church split,
it is believed that the meeting Fri.
day will result in peace overtures
and finally areunion of the churches

An honest pension does not mean
q subsidized voter. The honest old
soldier who gets pension has .
right to it, has no fear that it will
be taken away. has nothing to be
grateful for, has no reason for vot
ing against his convictions. A dis
honest pension means not only one
subsidized voter,bu group of sub.
sidized voters. It catches not only
abe perjured pauper who draws it.
but also the votes OF all his relatives,
who are thus relieved OF the neces-
sity of providing for him and wish
to continue to be relieved. That is
why politicians shout SO loudly for
more liberal pensions and 'lenient
pension laws. "-Cass County Demo

FOREST PRESERVATION.

The right of the government to pros- ecute criminally persons grazing sheep in all forest reservations, except Ore gon and Washington. was sustained in u decision recently rendered by the United States attorney general. Sec. retary Bliss recently asked as to wheth- CT such prosecutions would lie under one of the series of regulations recent ly issued for the preservation Of forests and the decision holds that they will.
 The above item, taken from the press report, is given as an item of informa- tiOn. The opinion Of the attorney zen eral is given in cases brought up in California upon the question of the right to prosecute cases under the reg ulations of the interior department. There is no occasion for alarm among our sheepOwners, as the department has issued orders to the superintendent of forests not to interfere with the grazing of sheep upon the reservations in Ari- zona. What the sheepOwners need fear the most is the representations of large landowners who may induce the secre- tary of the interior to enforce the reg. ulatiOns in regard to the grazing of sheep on the forest reservations. and steps should be taken to counteract these representations.

THE democratic press of the terri. tory is splenetic in its onslaught on Governor Murphy. It predicts the ap- pointment of Colonel Brodie us his sue. cessor, and fairly chuckles with delight at the suggestion of Colonel McCord's name in connection with the governor ship. Our democratic newspaperiaI friends are overstepping the bounds of decency in their unholy figh. against the best governor Arizona has ever had. They should remember that Gov ernor Murphy is in en rapport with the Mckinley administration; that he is the firm and untiinching friend of Colonel Brodie: that Colonel McCord Will serve two years more in the army. and finally that Governor Murphy,s lease on the office he now holds is co. extensive with McKinley's tenure of office.

demand was fair, but the : rise here
checked business. Corn options were
