Ny Dear sir.-Your favor Of the Goth is

the question Of The extension OF territory

in the compass of letter
I believe in the old doctrine that the

claim this is an inalienable right 10 al

In addition 70 that do not believe that

the wisdom of WashingtOn's recommend

Of national life. is as sound to-day as
when uttered by him. l believe that
Thursman and other Democrats in the
United States Senate when the San Do
mingo question was up were wise IN their
opposition to a course OF acquisition or
foreien territory. The fact that 1 may
dnd Mr.. Cleveland advocating A policy
which I believe 20 be right would not
keep me from advocating such policy.
I try TO form my opinion Of public Ques-

WHAT DOES THE SENATE MEAN ?

The investigation Of the comittee or the
United States Senate into the methods
used by the Methodist Book concern. its
agents and its attorney, in collecting n
claim against the government has de-
veloped nothing 50 FAR as We can learn
save the fact that Messrs. Barbee and
Smith book agents. and Attorney Stahl-
man made false representations 10 the
Senate in declaring that no part OF the
money to be paid was to so TO lobbyists
but that those who had interested them
selves in pushing the claim were doing
so simply as a work OF love. We would
not palliate an offence Of this character.
It is confessed that deception was used
and every truthful man regards the
technical liar as the meanest liar on the
face of the earth
But that IS neither here nor there. The
United states Senate IS not society OF
moral reform and it has no power what
ever to punish Barbee and Smith or
Stahlman for having deceived its mem
bers. That IS a matter which the Senate
may well afford to leave 10 the Methodist
Church, being sure that that great de-
nomination will measure clearly up TO its
responsibility in dealing with It's delin-
quent members.
We do not know what the Senate has
been up to in re-opening this case. We
fail to see its purpose, be we cannot get
away from a lurking suspicion that tho
Senate would make the impression that
this money has been voted 10 the Meth
odist Church, not because it was debt
Justly due but as a gratuity, as a sop
thrown TO the Southern people. will
ingness to pay the claim was put, as
Senator Platt. of Connecticut said, mot
on the ground that there is any legal
obligation on the part Of the government
to pay it, but because we have been IN
the habit as matter of generosity, Of
making donations to colleges and church
es." Senator Teller. we are told, took
the same view, and 50 did Senator Hale.
and II was for the reason that the
money "Is to go to the church, that Sen
ator Tnlman acQuiesccd.
That is the report that comes TO us
from Washington and is a most sur
prising statement. What right has the
Senate of the United States to make
presents to religious denominations? The
very thought Of such a thing is repus-
nant, and it is not only a reflection upon
the Congress of the United States, but 1t
puts the Methodist Church in position
that its members will never consent 10
occupy. Deception or no deception, the
Methodist Church would never receive
any aims from Congress. 1t would scorn
this money as a gift 1t has simply
asked for money that was justly due and
il is a shame for any senator to try TO
make it appear that the church has
handed round the hat.

An amendment by Rev. Mr.. Beatty requir-
ed permission from the bishop before a
parish can withdraw, or separate itself,
from the cathedral organization. Dean
Knight defended this, and maintained that
the charges made by some speakers that
such a section would cause friction We're
not well based. L. S. Elliott, Esq Rev.
F. F. Reese, and others, objected 10 the
amendment, opposing the irrevocable veto
by the Episcopate" to either keep in or
keep out. Bishop Nelson took a somewhat
decided stand n favor of the provision ana
intimated that if necessary he would como
down on the floor and debate the propo
sition. The amendment was adopted.

in behalf of female representation, and
