METHODIST WOMEN WIN
From the Chicago News.

From the Chicago News.
 Another event of great interest and far reaching importance was the action of the conference yesterday in changing the words Hay man. to Hay member wherever they occur in the organic law of the church. This admits women to the conference and as a result methodsm begins the new cen- tury on as liberal a platform concerning women as the latter can ask. The measure when introduced in the earlier sessions of the conference called out some vigorous objections. but these were answered then, and later, by the enthusiastic and eloquent champions of the women. Two measures such the admission. first, of the laity to equal rights and privileges in the quadren- nial conference and, second, the admission of women are sufficient of themselves to rank the present conference as an epoch- making one in the history of the Metho- dist church.

cepted as correct, but that does not make it any less the crying duty of the city au- thorities to put an end to the ruinous dust nuisance in Birmingham" said an unfor- tunate mortal who pays taxes and is se- riously injured by the dust. "The city council can, and it should, provide money out of the treasury for the expenses of dealing with the dust. Just as sensibly argue that the citizens in the Sixth ward
 should not be taxed to help pay for fire engine housed in the Second, or any other
 ward. Just as we'll argue that no part of the expense of police protection should be
 levied against vacant lot on the city
 boundaryl The absence of authority to levy a special assessment Is no sort of ex- cuse for not removing the terrible af-
 hction of dust in the business section of
 the city.'

THE MAN WITH THE HOE

Edwin Markham Bowed by the weight of centuries he leans Upon his hoe and gazes on the ground, The emptiness of ages in his face, And on his back the burden of the world. Who made him dead to rapture and dis
 pair, A thing that grieves not and that never
 hopes, Stolid and stunned brother to the OK? Who loosened and let down his brutal jaw? Whose was the hand that slanted back
 his brow? whos. breath blew out the light within
 this brain? Is this the thing the Lord God made and
 gave To have dominion over sea and land, To trace the stars and search the heavens
 for power; To feel the passion of Eternity? Is this the dream he dreamed who shaped And pillared the blue Armament with
 light? Down all the stretch of Hell to its last
 gulf There is no shape more terrible than this More tongued with censure of the worlds
 blind greed More filled with signs and portents for the
 soul More fraught with menace to the universe. What gulfs between him and the seraphim, Slave of the wheel of labor, what to him Are Plato and the swing of Pleiades? What the long reaches of the peaks of
 song, The rift of dawn, the reckoning of the
 rose? Through this dread shape the suffering
 ages look; Times tragedy is in that aching stoop; Through this dread shape humanity be-
 trayed, Plundered, profaned, and disinherited Cries protest to the Judges of the World, A protest that is also prophecy. O masters, lords and rulers in all lands Is this the handiwork you give to God, This monstrous thing distorted and soul-
 quenched? How will you ever straighten up this
 shape; Give back the upward look and the light: Rebuild in it the music and the dream; Touch it again with immortality; Make right the immemorial nfamies Perfidious wrongs, immedicable woes? O masters, lords and rulers in all lands. How will the future reckon with this Man? How answer his brute question in that
 hour When whirlwinds of rebellion shake the
 world? How will 1t be with kingdoms and with
 kings With those who shaped him to the thing
 he is When this dumb Terror shall reply to God After the silence of the centuries?

German Meat Bill.

The pretence that the bill now before the bundesrath to exclude foreign meats is a health measure is wholly pretenee and nothing beyond. The bill is the product of the Farmers League for the purpose of adding to the price of German agricultural products thereby enhancing the profits of German land owners, though the driving out of foreign meats from the United States. Argentina and Australia, but chiefly from this country.
 The emperor of Germany and the min istry do not like the bill, and their support of it. or rather countenance of it, is one of those political bargains that seem to be necessary in all forms of government. The ministry accept the meat bill in order to secure agrarian support for its bill to increase the navy.
 The hostility of the German land owners towards the United States has been made plain in the course of the debates over the meat bill The fact that Germany SeiNSS PAOUoSto HUH thlS COuillIy lO dpOuL twice the amount that we take from her in beet sugar and other manufactured pro- ducts, has been utilized to the utmost in inducing members of the reichstag to vote against foreign meats. It is not matter of duties. Foreign meats will be excluded on alleged sanitary grounds if the bill be- comes a law, as it doubtless will. When the German workman has to pay two prices for homemade meats, he may con- clude that his remedy consists in voting down the candidates of the agrarians and of all other candidates that voted with them. Unless the German workman re- bels, the law will stand, despite the fact that England found such legislation un- wise, and repealed it. Sir Robert Peel pre- ferred well-fed factory worSmen to high land rentals, and his policy stands to this day At some time in the future Germany will discover that the men in it's factories must also have cheap meats if they are to contend successfully with the work men of other nations.

Extraditi0n from Indiana.

Governor Mount of Indiana has taken a position that is, to say the least, extra ordinary by refusing to recognize certain acquisitions made by Governor Beckham. whose title to office in Kentucky has been fully confirmed by the highest court in the he sympathizes with Governor" Taylor in the most unwarranted manner. All repub- licans favor the most stringent enforce ment of the war amendments, but when provisions of the old constitution stand in their way they ignore them. They are in clined to construe the whole thing to suit oludonary they may be. Governor Mount is up against this paragraph that the fathers drew:
 "A person charged in any state with treason, felony or other crime, who shall flee from justice, and be found in another state, shall, demand of the executive authority of the state from which he fed be delivered up. to be removed to the state having jurisdiction of the crime"
 There is nothing in this paragraph that gives Governor Mount of Indiana a right to try case before he honors requisi- ton. The trial is to take place in another state. In the case in question Governor Mount has heard and decided in his own mind the Kentucky case, and so small a concern as the United States supreme court cannot swerve the gigantic brain To- cated in Indianapolis. Governor Mount holds that an indictment against repub- lcan found by grand jury of democrats

MIME. NORDICA's BRIEF ENGAGEMENT From the New York Sun.

Mime. Nordica is to return to this coun- try next fall under very unusual circum- stances. Her contract with Maurice Grau is for only fifteen appearances in opera, and these are to take place in the west That an artist should return for such a brief engagement seemed incomprehensible until the conditions were understood. Mime. Nordica demanded for next season the same terms paid to Mime. Lehman two years ago on the ground that she is Mime Leh- mann's successor. MT. Grau would not agree to this propoistion, so Mime. Nordica will return only for the few performances in the west, where she will receive the fee paid to Mime Lehman. Mime. Nordica does not intend to be satisfied with Mime. Leh- manns artistic honors. She expects to en- joy her financial favor well.

THE ECLIpsE AT SEA

From the Boston Herald.
 Attention has been called to the fact that the coming total eclipse of the sun will be visible at sea about a hundred miles from Boston. It might be a good piece of enter prise for somebody to charter a good steamer to take people out to see it. It would mean only a trip over one night, and an absence of not over twenty-four hours from port. A total eclipse is rare event for any neighborhood, and it will be long time before one occures so near us again. To see it would be an opportunity of lile- time Owners of such yachts would be re- paid for the little trouble it would cost them to make such a trip.

No Canal B;lI This Session.

By vote of 21 to 2S the transcontinental railroads and the Panama schemers and the concession speculators have succeeded in shelving the Hepburn bill for the pres- lican with the exception of Messrs. Calf fery Lindsay and Vest. Louisiana and Kentucky have already settled with Messrs. Caffery and Lindsay. Both have of Mir. Vest and the absence impaired of MT. Cockrell are as inexplcable as the votes of twelve Missouri members in the house against the bill. Missouri poses as the chief and central state of the Louisi- ana purchase and Mississippi valley, and yet it's representatives vote against bill designed to extend marGess to that great district beyond even any other district. There is no accounting for the Missouri votes.
 Besides the three adverse democratic votes, Messrs. Chiffon, Cocl1rell, Kenney, McEnery, McLaurin, Martin and Taliafer- TO were aDScnI, uDpalreu. III olAieI "oiuS, three democrats voted against the bill, and seven democrats were absent-ten in all, or enough to have brought the Hepburn bill before the senate for consideration.
 Senator Morgan will fight against the proposed delay of the bill to the utmost, and he should have thS support of the dem- ocrats of the senate, who have nothing to gain by playing into the hands of the ad- ministration and Mark Hanna. A power- full lobby, fed from the $300, 900 of annual earnings of the transcontinental railroads, is insidiously at work in Washington, but they will not be able to work far enough underground to deceive Senator Morgan. He has studied their methods long time, and there is little they can do that he does not understand, and some of their schemes will be brought to the light Mark Hanna is, however, the chief obstacle in the way. His campaign subscription list is in or under every great measure.

In the first week in June the New York democratic convention will be assembled in the Academy of Music in New York city Tammany's headquarters and if New Yorks delegation is instructed for Bryan, it will all be over except the shouting.
 Not that New York can change the course of events, for she cannot. There are POS delegates to be selected in the south, 2S0 west of the Alleghanles and all of these will be instructed to vote first, last and all the time for William J. Bryan. New York can not therefore change dem- ocratic sentiment, but she can make dem ocratic sentiment in the selection of a standard bearer unanimous, and/ that is just what she should do. When New York and MT. Willetts fall into line, the demo- cratic hosts will face the enemy with an unbrozen front.
