polity of the church more fully and care
fully than they now do
Bishop Merrill-Ever since lay represen-
tation has been in the general conference
it has been my firm persuasion that salts
faction would not be secured till lay dele
gates equal in numbers the ministerial
delegates. l am in favor of a fixed and
definite arrangement to this end.
Bishop Foss-In general way, the de-
sire of the laity for equal representation
with the clergy in general conference is,
in itself very proper one, and such equal
representation should be granted, as it will
ultimately be, 1 believe.
Bishop Hurst-The impression existing in
some directions that the participation of
our laymen in the legislative and other
councils of the Methodist Episcopal
Church is not desired by the clergy, Is err
roneous. fully share in the wish that our
general conference shall consist of equal
lay and clerical delegates, for l believe it
would be a benefit to our entire church.
Bishop Walden-When the preachers are
satisfied that the highest interests of the
church will be promoted and conserved by
equal representation they will make the
necessary change as readily as they grant
ed the first and fundamental concession a
quarter of century ago.
Bishop Ninde-I believe strongly in equal
lay representation in the general confer
ence.
Bishop Vincent-What the laity of the
church, after thorough consideration of
the subject asks it's full share in respon-
sibilty and service the ministry should
grant the request.
Bishop Fowler-If the laymen want
equal representation they should have it.
One body with equal members would neu-
tralize the tendency to awaken antagon-
ism.
Bishop Goodsell--T am in favor of equal
representation in the general conference of
laymen When lay and clerical represen-
tation are equalized, we might thus hope
for the continued return to the general
conference of experienced and eminent lay
men.
Bishop Mallalieu-I believe in equal nu-
merical lay and clerical representation in
the general conference, and hence favor
any step toward it,
Bishop Cranston-I perceive both the
equity and expediency of equal ministerial
and lay representation in the general con-
ference.

From the London Spectator.
The most cayan'ysmal OF nh invonIions-
that of gunpowder (Which, by the way,
was probably invented twice, for Greek
fire must have been the same thing, used
with an imperfect knowledge of its pro-
pelling power)-and the one which most
affected the organization Of society by de-
stroying the value of armor and equalizing
the power of men Of different sizes, took
a generation to spread abroad, and when
il did spread hardly affected the rela-
tive strength of the nations. If such an in
vention were discovered now the papers
would ring with prophecies, probably of a
German or British conquest of the world
which would not happen a bit the faster
for the appropriations" Printing was a
grand discovery, and, though il did not
help the Chinese much, did help Europe
ans a great deal but IL did not help
them suddenly, and for the immense ma.
jority of mankind 1t might just as well
never have occurred. Steam is a grand
discovery, but it has not upset the world
IL has been utilized only by degrees, and
like printing, the mass of mankind know
very little about il, one-thir& of the hu.
man race, indeed, denouncing- -it still as
something which "haaZes and maazes the

TO harness lightning, which excites the
imagination even OF poets, is one of the

nothing except newspaper arrangements.

Waycross, Ga, Feb. S.-The Hon. Bill
Clifton, the genial secretary Of the Geor-
gia Senate, and DR.. Jeff Wilcox, the clev-
er senator from this district are laugh
ing at the joke they played few days
ago on a gentleman and his wife in Coffee
county, and the latter do not to this day
understand that there was a joke in the
case. The two well known lawmakers
left Willacoochee in carriage for a drive
up the Douglas road and stopped at the
house of a gentleman who is known as a
strong anti-Cleveland man. Bill Clifton is
about the size of the ex-President and so
he and DR.. Wilcox concluded to give the
gentleman of the house a surprise by in
PRODUCING Clifton as Grover Cleveland.
However, the gentleman and wife were
not at home. the former being off on a
hunt for quail and the latter on a visit
to neighbor The lawmakers saw two
negresses at work around the house and
left note with them for the gentleman
of the house. The note purported to he
from Grover Cleveland and stated that he
wanted to meet the gentleman and lady
and regretted not finding them at homo
And the writer said he would return and
spend the night with them. The note was

Line Now About Sixty Miles Long to
Connect Fitzgerald and VaIdOsta.
Waycross, Ga, Feb S.-The Gray Lum-
Der Company of Coffee county is at the
head of the Pine Bloom, Fitzgerald and
Valdosta Railroad, which is now fifty
nine miles in length. Capt. B. B. Gray,
president of the concern, was in the city
to-day and talked Interestingly concern
ing the recent developments and the pros
poets of the company. Large saw mills
are operative at Pine Bloom and Leliaton,
near Willacoochee. The company has also
been rafting logs down the Oemulgee river
to four or five saw mills below Darien for
several years. All the lumber is shipped
from Leliaton and Pine Bloom TO Bruins
wick Via the Plant System and thence to
foreign markets by steamers. The COM
panys road is within two miles of Fitz-
nus on the Ocmulgee river. The southern
terminus is within nine miles of Nashville
the county seat of Berrien county, and
the line is being extended as rapidly as
possible. 1t will reach Nashville in few
months. in time for the company to haul
the material for Berrien connty's new
$4,000 court house, which will be erected
during the summer and fall. The road
will probably be completed to Valdosta in
a year or two The town of Fitzgerald
has offered considerable indueement for
the road to go to that place. but Mr.. Gray
does not intimate that the present offer
will be accepted.
