How long al Methodism stand out If
you tear down all the bars?"

quent plea for the retention of the time

ed for recognition when Mr.. Murray
closed, but Presiding Bishop Andrews
recognized Abraham E. Swisher, a lay
delegate Of Upper Iowa who also spoke
in favor of retaining the time limit.

argued for the minority report.

WILL TAKE FORCE
To InOculate Chinese in San
Francisco Against Plague.

San Francisco. May 21.-The federal
authorities at Washington have in
structed DR.. Kinyoun, quarantine Off
Ger at this port to take charge Of meas
ures to the bubonic plague
which the local board of health has de-
clared exists here. What action DR..
Kinyoun will take has not yet been an
nounced. The action of the Washing
ton officials is thought to be due not to
the seriousness of the situation, but to
the inability of the San Francisco auth
critics to compel the Chinese and jap
anese to take precautionary measures
against the spread of the plague if it
still exists here.
The embargo OF the departure of Chi
nese from the city unless they can show
certificates of incubation, is still in
force. Business in Chinatown is almost
at a %standstill. The merchants have
closed their stores and the Chinese are
remaining within doors. The Chinese
insist that the plague does not exist
among them and there is no necessity
for incubation. They will not submit
to it. and it will have to be done by
force if at all.

DEFIANCE.

The politicians in Philadelphia who
attempted to blackmail Mr.. ohn Wan
amaker a few days ago have been
taught a lesson that they will not soon
forget.
They have been engaged in an at
tempt to raid the city treasury when the
North American, a paper owned by Mr..
Wanamaker's son, turned the dark
lantern upon them to their discontinue.
They tried to drive the paper off by
threatening Mr.. Wanamaker with ex-
posture through certain afidavits about
himself which they had been collecting
for eight months. But the merchant
promptly gave them defiance by show
ing them the door and at once publish
ing the threat.
The history in brief of the transaction
is this:
Mr.. English, the director of public
safety, who is the official at the head
Of the Philadelphia police system, called
upon Mr.. ohm Wanamaker and de-
handed that he put a stop to the at
tacks on the city administration made
by the Philadelphia North American,
which is owned by Mr.. Wanamaker's
SON.. on this demand being emphatical-
ly refused, Mr.. English said:
Very well. Then I want to give you
notice that for eight months we have
been looking up your personal record
from the time you were postmaster gen
eraL. We haVe followed you throughout
Washington, Philadelphia, New York
and eve in Europe, and we have forth
fed ourselves with amdavits against
you. and since you have been attacking
other people we win new take our turn
on you"
Never was a rang Of blackmailers so
quickly dispersed and confounded.
The attack at once on the reedom Of
the press and the i~nviolability of private
life a rarely been equalled in the his
tory Of American politics. Coming as it
does from officers whose duty it is to
protect these rights from assault the
act is one which should arouse the in
dignation of every person in Philadel-
phia and hould drive all concerned
from public office to private life.
Mr.. Wanamekr has performed a
great service in making these matters
public. He is to be commended. The
mayor of Philadelphia should at once
demand and secure the resignation OF
Mr.. English. Blackmailers are not
wanted at the head of the police sys-
tenn of our great cities.
