buckingham Anglo-Saxon.)

Dr. Covington reports that there are
now y cases of smallpox in the pest
house below Hamlet. Only three of those
confined have failed to take the disease
There have been no deaths and DIR. Gov
ington expects to dismiss all the first
patients next Monday, after subiecting
them to an old fashioned hog killing
scrubbing and presenting them with new
clothes.
The smallpox patients were not too
lndisposed to engage in a general free
fight few days ago in which one of
them received a pistol bal in his right
cheek. Some of the inmates called A1d-
ly to the guard to come in and separate
the belligerents, but he wisely concluded
that That was not a part of his duties
and left them to settle their own disputes.
The wound is not serious one, and is
not giving him any trouble.

HANNA AGAINST PLATT TACTICS.

1t is said that Mr.. Hanna was much
incensed when he heard of the over
night growth of the movement toward
Roosevelt, apd declared that though he
had NO material objection to Mr.. Roose-
velt;s candidacy he violently objected
to any strategy which might make the
nomination seem forced on the Admin
istration's Representatives BY Mr..
Platt and Mr.. Quay. Mr.. Hanns's q.
forts to hold the New York Governor
up to his previous declinatious were
pronounced and open, and by evening
the struggle between the forces urging
and deprecating the New Yorker's can
didacy had settled down to q duel b..
tween Mr.. Platt and Mr.. Quay On cas
hand and Mr.. Roosevelt on the other.
At one conference this afternoon b.
tween Messrs. Hanna and Roosevelt
a1d Senator Lodge, OF Massachusetts,.
Mr.. Hanna is reported to have said:
81 think we can nominate some one
else beside Roosevelt"
For Gods sake, go ahead and do Il, /"
responded the Governor. ~ (.
''That's right" said Senator Lodge.
'Let's go ahead and nominate some
other man."
'What is the matter with LongP"
asked Hanna.
Nothing" replied Lodge. 'Go
ahead and nominate him."
Gathering from the tone of Senator
Lodges remark that although the Sem
ator was supporting Long, he had little
hope that Long would be nominated,
Senator Hanna continued:
''Well, what is the matter with Fair
banks?'
'sNothing in the world" responded
Lodge. ssGo ahead and nominate him.
Nominate anybody you can. We are
standing ready to help you"
From this conversation it is apparent
that the chairman of the National Com
mittee is still sanguine that nomina-
tion for the Vice Presidency will be
only after an open struggle in the Con-
vention.-New York Tribune.

THE RESPONSIBILITY.

Neither the Republican party nor
President Mckinley should be held re-
sponsible for George B. Cox. The del
egates to the Philadelphia convention
from Ohio chose him q member Of the
national committee. II this selection
were left to tho party at large, Cox
would have been beaten out Of eight
Cleveland Leader.
No one lays any blame At the door Of
the President nor of the Republican
party. One man alone was responsible
for it, and his name is Marcus A. Hanna.
The Republicans of Ohio will, before
Cox's four years are over, make plain
their reputation Of him, and their
antagonism to the methods by which
his selections was brought about.
Coxism and bossism have reached
their limit in Ohio. The sturdy free
men of the Republican party in this
state will not submit to party aristoc-
racy like that of Quay in Pennsylva-
mia, or of Platt in New York. Bide .

this prediction.-Toledo Blade.

HOW THEY BossED THE BISHOPS


Mr.. Buckley, the editor CT the New
York Christian Advocate, seems to
have the M. E. General Conference
pretty well cowed. The Bishops who
have heretofore been growing in hier-
rachical power had to take backseats.
Here is an item from the proceedings.
'.Now it is my opinion" said Bishop
Goodsell.
'.Not word, SIR" said Chairman
Buckley, 81 want none of your
opinions"
The account goes on to say, "Bishop
Goodsell swelled up with rage; by
q unanimous vote Bishop Walden
was not allowed to speak; Bishop
Merrill started to make a sug-
gestion when Editor Buckley inter-
rupted him telling him that the confer
ence was an independent body and did
not allow the Bishops to tell it what to
do; during the debate Bishop McCabe
went down on the floor and nearly
produced q riot; some of the delegates
kept up perfect howl until he return
ed to the stage" Some members refer
ring to the life terms of the Bishops,
DR.. Nicely made ringing speech de-
claring they had no life terms and could
be dismissed at sny- time. All this
information we take from the Chicago
Inter-O Ocean. They are full of mean
ing, if true. They mean that no hier-
archy will be established in the Meth
odist church; that individual life and
opinion are high over all bishoprics.-

without a word? Might he not claim
the right to keep it always?
He scarcely pretended to answer
this question. He found his way to his
room in the intermediate cabin and
came out ON the deck again. AS the
