The good people of Fender county
are wide-awake as to the necessity of

gaw, reported in Sundays Messenger,
clearly manifests the interest and pur-
pose of the Pender representative men.
The meeting was spirited and hopeful,
and the several addresses were upon
subjects of special interest. Our ear
nest, practical and able townsman,
Rev. A. D. Mcclure, addressed the
meeting, and from the report, his re-
marks were particularly impressive
and most heartily received. The meet
ing adopted a constitution that shall

THE METHODIST COMMISSION

The commission of the two great
branches of M~ethodis1n in the United
States did not attempt, we are glad
to know, to bring about organic union.
We believe it was not even referred to.
Tt was to bring about 'SMethodist Fed
eratiOn," whatever that may mean.
The commission recommended several
things Of more or less s~ignificancy.
That there shall be a catechism, hymn
book and order of public worship for
both hurches-to control jointly the
publishing interests in Japan n
no new work shall be or
ganized by one church where the other
church has one already established
without consent of the bishop having
Observation-Disclosures the church shall give
better education-that an university
be established in Washington City.
These are the main points agreed upon.
Tt is said both sides 'Fbehaved beauti-
fully" showing no rudeness and in
dulging in no elimination and recrim-
ination. The brethren dwelt together
lin the unity OF the Spirit" like Chris
tian men should. 1T remains with the
general confere :e to approve of or
reject the report.

There is trouble in h republican
camp in several states. In Maryland,
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio,
things are mixed and contention runs
high. The split in McKinley's state is
so pronounced that it is aid that when
Hanna got back from his very hot and
almost disastrous campaign for SEN
ator, he said to Senatdr Foraker:
Things are in terrible shape in Ohio.
We must get together somehow and
fix up some harmony And Mr.. Depew
told the republican club of New York
on Monday night: The differences in
Our party are more acute n intense
than they rave been for a quarter OF
a century. They found expression at
the polls in the last election, and are
rapidly eliminating in hostile organi-
cations. The republicans of New York
are not alone in these troubles. They
are found in Ohio, in Maryland and in

The military idea is pushed by the
advocates of the annexation of Ha-
wall. Senator Morgan said if it was
not annexed there would be war i'm a
remember correctly. General Schofield
the distinguished author, Captain
Nathan, were quoted by him to sup
port the military claim. The New
York Evening Post, noting his plan,
says that THE Hawaiian Gazette, just
received, points out the danger of the
atiCn.' 1t explains that it says danger
because this argument, when pressed
on certain lines, 'compels the American
people to face, not the simple question
of Hawaiian annexation, but the in
finitely more serious one of settling
whether or not the nation will become
a great naval power and, even more
than that, whether they will under

some two or three weeks ago ave an
extract from Right Hon. James Bryce,

urged, with force, that if the United
States annexed Hawaii, they would be

power and 1T vast expenditure of

A LONG MINDED SPEECH

Senator Morgtan's oratory equalled
the celebrated Edmund Burke's. The
illustrious Irishman was called 1.-The
dinner bell" Great as are his speeches
read-the finest in the language-he
was not gifted with high oratory, and
had a very defective delivery. When
he began one of his great speeches
the members gradually deserted h
hall. But now, and for an hundred
years, his speeches have been diligent-
1y studied by all famous statesmen,
Mr.. Webster particularly so, and have
been the delight Of all students OF
great oratory and splendid rhetoric.
We would rather have been the author
of the speech on THE Nabob of Arcot's
Debts" than of any speech, ancient or
modern. Senator Morgan consumed
four days, thereby worrying the SEN
ate hugely, in a long-drawnout speech
in behalf of introducing into our coun-
try a most undesirable population, and
all to enrich and favor a few sugar
planters who own most of the avail
able land. With a good cause to es-
pouse, the Alabama senator is a for
midable debater, but when he worries
the senate through four days with a
speech in favor OF annexing such a
country and hybrid population as
Hawaii, he beats the air in vain, and
the senators flee from the prolonged
windy display as if the senate were

The measure, as passed by the SEN

given it careful study, TO be a specific
