POOR OLD DEMOCRACY.

What issue can the Democrats
bring up to make a reasonable
plea for placing their cratic
leaders in power I? "They are
tied up on the expansion policy"
says the st. Louis Mirror, and,
Furthermore, they are not by any
means unanimous upon the sub.
ject. Silver cannot be made the
important issue in the coming
campaign because-well, because
it cannot. People don't care for
the political hard-luck story of
the Bryanites.' They don't want
to have winners telling them,
after Manila and Santiago, what
a lot of poor devils they are. The
street. beggar whimper of pauper
politics will rot 'go," The peo-
pie want march music. The PEG.
pie know they are not paupers
and poor miserable slaves of the
money-power. They have seen
the $500, 100000 come from the
pockets of the people in a jiffy,
when the government wanted it.
They have had martial glory.
They have seen good crops. They
have read the trade figures. They
have been prosperous. The sill
yer "spiel'will not take again.
The people want a Stars and
Stripes March campaign. not a
Dead March movement, which.
at It's highest is but hypochon-
dria raised to She power of hys'
terics.
The Democrats have about as
much chance, nationally, as a one
legged man in a kicking match.
They know this and hence they
want to dodge National issues.
This they cannot do. They are
likely to lose some of their
strong holds, even by keeping
National issues in the back
ground.

ANNUAL N. {. CONFERENCE
10 Be Held at Warrington This Year.

10 Be Held At Warrington This Year.
The annual conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal church will
be held this year at Warrington
and itpromises to be q very in
teresting meeting. The confer.
ence opens on the goth and con-
tinues until about the following
Wednesday. The Rev. Bishop
Fowler will preside during the
entire time. This will be the
bishops first conference since
his return from Europe. which
was recently. The bishop has
been in Europe for the benefit of
his health, which has been very
poor for some time, and returns
very much improved. He is,
without question, one of the most
intellectual men IN the church
and is in the front rank of Dish.
ops. His address at the Wesley
an conference in May last as fra
ternal delegate from the United
States, was the most mastery
ever delivered in that body on an
occasion of that kind. 1t has
been read with the deepest inter-
est and created q profound i'm
preston throughout the religi.
Gus world. The bishop will ad.
dress the conference on the open
ing day and no doubt there will
be large gathering to hear him,
both OF ministers and laymen.
This conference will be attend.
ed oy every Methodist minister in
the State, numbering 200 or more
and the session promises to be Of
vital interest.
At this conference all Of the
business for the year is transact.
ed. The character of each appli.
cant for ordination is examined.
All preachers passing the exam
are admitted on trial for
three years and then ordained.
To this body all the preachers
make a report of their work for
the year.
The most important work to
be done by the conference this
year is the REIMBURSEMENT of the
appointments for the following
year. This is done by the cabinet
composed of the bishop and nine
presiding elders who meet in
private session and consider the
needs of each of the charges and
the adaptation of the men to the
places. The reading of these ap-
pointments is the last item of
business transacted by the con-
ference. In the regular order of
business that is to be gone
through with. is the reading. and
acting upon 80 disciplinary ques.
tions and it is these that consume
q great deal of time. Some of
these questions take half a day
and some of them a day before
they are finally disposed of and
it generally takes from four to
five days to get through the en-
tire list. Following these ques-
lions comes the constitutional
questions but this year there
will not be any constitutional
questions of any great import.
lance arise, as they were all vot-
ed on and disposed of at the con.
ference last year.
