The Bishops Speak.

The bishops of the Methodist Church,
South, have published a card in which
they say their church will not accept the
$2SS, 900 allowed it by Congress on the
claim of it's book concern, if the Senate
adopts a resolution to the effect that it
was induced to allow the claim by mis-
leading statements made by representa-
tives of the church
Il is not probable that the Senate win
adopt any such resolution. The report
of the committee which investigated the
charge that the allowance of the claim
had been obtained by misleading state
ments, states that no action the Senate
has taken reflects in the least on the
Methodist Church. South.
There is no doubt however, that Mr
Stahlman did not let the senator's who ask
ed him about the claim know all the
facts, and the agents of the book concern
were far less frank than the senator's
think they ought to have been. Sun, il
Mr. Stahlman had been perfectly open
with inquiriug senator's and the book
agents had told the whole truth the claim
wouldn't have been allowed notwith-
standing the fact that 1t was perfectly
just one, and should have been paid q
quarter of a century ago
While it is true that the book agents
cannot be defended for letting senator's
believe that no attorneys fee was to be
paid out of the claim, the senators them
selves are chiefly to blame in the whole
matter Because they held up a just claim
for twenty-five years and made it nee
essary in order to get it allowed to pay
an attorney So per cent. Of it.
