The Wheat Problem.


Sir William CroolSes of England, In

problem of the times is the wheat de,
mand and supply. Sir William is much
afraid that We shall soon be obliged to
eat something else-not so good as Il
substitute. In late years the consump-
ton of wheat In the lands inhabited
by whites has increased both actual.
" and relatiyely-that is, not only has
the population demanding wheat as a
food increased greatly in numbers, but
there is also an increase in the amount
of wheat demanded by each component
of that population. In 1871. according
to the undisputed figures here given,
there were 81 900, 900 hrcad-eaterS In
the world In less than thirty years
that large figure has grown To the
enormous total of 5l6, 50000o. This

and smaller addition has been made

THE LAYMEN BARRED OUT.
Old Fight Crop. Out In the Methodist
Conference

CHICAGO. May S.-Laymen were barred
from the annual conferences of the Meth
odist Church today when the new consti-
ton of the Church, the code of organic
law by which the religious body must be
governed fer the next four years was
brought before the Quadrennial Conference
at the Auditorium.
Before the assembly fairly realized what
was going on the old question of equal
rights to laymen and to ministers in con-
ferences was under fierce discussion. 1t
was supposed that the battle was over.
but when the constitution was brought
before the gathering it was discovered in
stantly that article 3 relating to the
annual conferences still said that such
conferences should be composed of travel
ing preachers only. Champions of lay
equality were promptly on their feet and
the defenders of old customs were as
prompt 10 answer.
After spirited contest the article was
adopted by large majority and the lay
men effectually shut out of the annual
conferences.
Former Gov. Robert E. Pattison of Penn
sylvania presented report from the com
mittee on the state OF the Church. fixing
a date for electing Bishops. superintend-
ents. and editors. and setting time for
final adjournment. The report, which
recommended that the beginning of cleo
tons be made the order of the day for
Monday, May IA, and that the elections
be taken up in the same order as they
were held at the last General Conference,
was adopted 1t was voted that the Gen.
eral Conference adjourn sine die on
May 90.

Mr.. Mckinley poses as a champion of the
gospel on the point of going to war with
the ''unspeakable Turk" in its behalf.
No doubt the Kaiser who in many ways
has demonstrated his good will toward
the United States. would allow himself
TO be victimized in the interest of the
Presidents campaign, although the mis-
sionary burden would be rather hard one
for him TO shoulder. He may not know it
at present; but the moment he appeared
in the role of missionary protector in the
Ottoman Empire he would expose himself
10 an invasion of the nature of which he
has never dreamed. In about six weeks
after the announcement he would find Ber-
lin full of sisters representing more
evangelical societies and circles than there
are saints in heaven. They would wait
on him in large delegations to complain
of the Turkish NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., Beys,
ss~lis. Cadis. Sheiks. Dragomen. and DON
key boys-in every province, hamlet. and
desert of Asia. They would demand in
slant action and relief. They would want
to see Mrs. Hohenzollern and the children,
and be asked to lunch. They would swarm
all over the palace and plainly tell the
Kaiser that they expected a man in the
missionary business to abstain from wine.
beer, and tobacco. In short, the Emperor
would learn in a very short time what
it is like to be President of free country
full of cranks.
Mr.. Mckinley and Mr.. Hay must realize
that to take the proposed sneak out of
Turkey and to turn over our troubles there
to the German Government would be
neither nice nor wise. Germany might, to
be sure. be able to protect our citizens
from massacre and their property from
confiscation: but she could not prevent re-
sentiment toward us on the part of the
Sultan or his possible unfriendly inter-
vention in our own Mohammedan terri
tory. In counting with the Ottoman En-
pire we must always bear in mind that
of our large citizenship not less than
three million souls are sturdy Mussul-
mans, under the leadership of one of our
most prominent statesmen. the Sultan OF
Jolo. BY the way. while Hanna, Plat,
and Aldrich are out hurting for running
mates" why might not Jolo be a good
selection. He is an Eastern man. His
State is solid for Mckinley. His political
methods are like those of the Republican
party in Kentucky. and he is quite as
homogeneous as some other public men!
But. TO return to our subject. Mr.. Hay
cannot have any pride of authorship in
the missionary movement. Considering
the way it has turned out. we do not be-
lieve the President can. either. Their best
plan would be to close the incident with
prayer and trust to the country to forget
it as something certainly not worth re-
Numbering.

The Turkey-Ru.znrd Policy.

II we were TO form our opinions on the
basis of what certain prominent Admins
tratiou organs have to say in the matter
1t would be necessary to conclude that
the State Department now considers it
desirable to vindicate itself in connection
with the Eastern question by suspending
diplomatic relations with Turkey. This,
of course. is serious decision to arrive
at; but it is explained as unavoidable in
the circumstances.
The Diplomatic situation. II seems. is do
mestic as well as foreign in its many COM
plcations. In the beginning the American
claims were resting contentedly enough
in a pigeon hole of the State Depart
ment division of Gospel Frictions with the
Heather. They might have remained there
undisturbed for years. IL the so-called
Ecumenical Missionary Conference had not
been about to assemble in New York. 1t
is said that in anticipation of the inter-
esting religious event referred to prom
inent Wesleyan preacher suggested to the
Administration that it would be good
politics. TO dig them up and force a set
Element or a promise of one while the
conference was in session. Now, the Nc
Kinley Administration is nothing if not
pious. Whether its piety. or the oppor-
tunity to gather missionary boom for
the coming ticket, had anything to do
with the matter or not, the fact remains
that great TODD was made over the old
nfIair, and the Administration was placed
in a ridiculous position.
AS we all remember, the Sultan was
threatened with the elimination of our
Legation from Constantinople, and then IL
he would not be good, with an ultimatum,
10 be followed by violent seizure of all
his figs at Smyrna by our Navy. The
missionaries in Ecumenical Council as
sembled were delighted over this promise
OF splendid diplomacy" and even IL Eu-
rope did laugh the concept was not the
less splendid. But the conference has
gore home and the Administration does
not know exactly what to do. 1t seems
10 have decided that the best way to es-
cape being ripped up by the horns of the
dilemma is TO do nothing, close the Lega-
ton for religious effect. and then ask
Germany TO protect our missionaries while
