DR.. James M. Buckley has rendered
to the Methodists a lasting and valua-
BILE service In his recent work entitled
"a History Of M%ethodists In the United
States" This work comprises two
octave volumes, proiusely illustrated
with the leading lights OF the Metho-
dist church, beginning with the Yves
leys and coming up to the present
time. While the volume purports to
treat only Of Methodists in the United
States, such, however, is not the case in
one sense, for, in order to render such
q work complete, the writer has wisely
commenced with the origin of Metho-
dism and treated It's history very fully
in England before It's introduction in
the United States. In fact, more than
half of the first volume treats OF the
Wcsleys, but this is necessary, as they
were closely associated with the early
attempt to plant Methodism in this
new country. Il is believed that no
portion OF this great work will prove
to the average reader more enter
tanning, instructive and uplifting than
the portion devoted to the Wesleys.
For that family was one Of the greatest
families in the history Of the world, ii
one considers the beneicient Influence
upon the social and moral condition OF
mankind. RevIvals- and rejuvenations
in any honorable branch Of the human
activity is of necessity good.
MethodIsm was, and probably still is,
a revival, a long revival of religious
and moral sentiment that was insti-
tuted by the Wesleys. This volume
states how this revival in its beginning
was kept within, and was intended to
be kept within the bounds Of the
churh of England, and then the history
of Methodismsproceeds to show how it
burst these bounds, in not being fully
at home within the church Of England,
and therefore, naturally and of neces-
sity, it became an independent organ
izatlon. The conflicts Of the founders
of the church with the ecclesiasticism
of the established church and the
dogmatic dizziness of the Calyinism
are fully set forth.

No more states, to send free silver
senators, can be admitted. Such is
the decision Of the present powers that
be. Gold republicans and gold demo-
gratis alike bowed to the decision OF the
car. But the question is, which shall
dominate the next republican national
conventionP We believe the silver
republicans will. The republican
party wal born of revolt against the
slave ~oligarchy Of the south, 1t was a
national demand for the rights Of the
common people. The gold oljgarchy
is worse than the slave holders ever
dared to be, and THE OPTIc believes
that the republican party will prove
true to its traditions-the masses
against the classes.

CAN'T COME 1T.

The New Merican that it
Is after the scalps of the San Miguel
county commissioners. 1t says:
The New Mexican, through its cores
pondents and through its columns, has
butted over more than one stone wall,
built on q corrupt and dishonest founda-
tlon in New Mexico, and has plenty OF
strength left to butt over others. 1t Ia not
material to the issue whether the chairman
Of the board of county commissioner of
San Miguel county laughs or does not
laugh at the matter. That cuts no ice. But
there will probably be m laughing
somewhere else when the power Of the ex-
ecutive and of the courts in conjunction
goes after the gang that is manipulating
county finances 10 San Miguel. There will
be a different sort of an administration of
Justice before long over in San Miguel
county and it will be the right sort Iof an
administration, never fear.

AMERICAN WOOL IS THE BEST
IN One Branch of Sheep Raising the
United States Leads.

George H. Wallace, secretary Of
New Mexico, read a paper on .sSheep
In the United States" at the Denver
stock growers convention, as follows /:
1T is the current ard popular
opinion that English and Australian
wool surpasses American in quality,
but the reverse Is the case. For more
than thirty years the Australians have
been annually importing American
sheep by the car load, as breeders, to
secure fineness Of fiber and density OF
isece. The characteristic Of Aus.
t%ralian clips which has produced this
impre ssion is uniformity, and this
uniformity is secured by the size OF
their focks. In all goods where soft
and isecy finish is required, American
woods excel those of the rest Of the
world.
"There are hooks and in our
broad land where it will be far easier
and more profitable to keep q few
sheep than any other kind Of stock ;
there arc rough and billy sections OF
our country where nj other industry
can thrive. aud there are wide areas
of Sc mi arid plains where only sheep
can live. If adverse commercial con-
ditlons come, the people living in such
places must still keep sheep, however
inadequate the return.
.sTne many different kinds and breeds
of sheep may be divided into two
classes; those kept for the wool they
produce, with the carcass as an incl
dental, and those which are bred for
their mutton qualities, with the fleece
as IN incidental. 1t is now, and has
been for years, the study and aim of
the commercial breeder to produce an
animal which shall be u combination
| of these classes, but while we are nearer
that point than ever before, We are yet
far from complete success. The char
acter of the soil and feed obtained
therefrom have much TO do with the
development of the animal. The NUT
ton breeds. as the Cottonwolds and the
Downs, like a damp climate, soft feed
aud level ground; while the Merinos
prefer and thrive best on a stony soil,
in a billy country and a drier atmos-
phere.
ssThe effects Of naturalization are
not yet fully considered nor under
stood. While the animal may live
and appear to thrive, the altered con-
ditions of life will surely be felt. 1t
has been quoted that The constant
cold in the high plateau OF the Cordil-
leras clothes the pig with downY fleece,
and the action of the heat in tie valley
OF the Madeline substitutes a shining
hair for the sleeps fleece OF WOOL In
those sections OF the United States
where the sheep have been the longest
acclimated we see the eff. cts of differ
ent climates and various foods and
mooes Of life. In Vermont and other
northern portions, the carcass is small, |
and the wool dense, and the general
appearance of the sheep is stocky and
compact. In Missouri and Kansas the
frame is larger. the staple as a rule is
longer, the wool not 60 dense. In J
