WHY NOT A NORTH CAROLINlAN.

At the General Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church. South, to
be held in Baltimore two or more bish-
APPS are to be chosen. A correspondents

Of Ashcyille, 10 the bishopric. Othe
Eames have been suggested among the
able ministers of the Methodist church.
In all the years, if we mistake not, no
North Car0linian has been chosen hish.
op of this church. There have been
aiee men, the equals Of any, but inabil-
lity to agree upon a man has denied this
honor to North Carolinian. DR..
Deems and Dr. Craven were both Of the
right proportions but each had sIns
friends and the delegates were not united
upon either. The same was true of DIR.
Burkhead and DIR. Wilson at another
election of bishops. The whole state
will hope that the divisions of the past
will not deny the honor 10 II North Gar

against his selection, and it threw North

Mr.. GRlGGs MADE A HIT.

The. New Englanders, who are sup
porting Dingley's bill to regulate the
number of working hours in all the
States by Congress, have had a great
deal to say about the Flower standard Of
living in the South They say they
could compete against Southern mills if
their operatives would live on the poor
food that satisfies the Southern mill
workers.
Mr.. Griggs, of Georgia, made the hit
of the session in his reply. In contrast
Ing the conditions between North and
South Mr.. Griggs paid his respects to
New England, and declared that 1.-THE
average Southerner would not feed his
worst enemy on the stale bread and
beans which are the staple food of New
England workingnren." Then he pro-
ceeded to praise the tables of Southern
people with these appetizing words:

of lives. Spain can never end the war.
Delay results in more butchery, more

says:
