CONFERENCE
Takes Up the Army Canteen
Question.

Chicago, May 28.-The Metho-
dist General Conference today
took unexpected action in re-
gard to the committee reports on
cardsplaying, dancing and other
prohibited amusements. The Of
fetal vote by which the minority
report was accepted recommend
ing no action was announced as
1913 ayes and 29O noes. Thep, to
the surprise of the large audi
ence, on motion of DIR. Buckley,
the minority report was laid on
the table by a vote of 256 to 253
Bishop Fitzgerald then ruled,
however, that the question was
no longer before the house. It is
extremely improbable that the
matter will be taken up for &C
ton; SO she standing of the
Methodist Church for the next
four years IN regard to forbidden
amusements will be unchanged.
Samuel Dickie Of Michigan
then presented the report of the
Methodist Committee on Tenn
perance, and for the first time
the great Methodist body took on
a strong political appearance.
The majority report contained a
strong arrangement of President
Mckinley and Attorney General
Griggs for their attitude on the
anti-canteen law, and over this
point the conference debated all
the morning.

AN AMERICAN MINIS Err
ABRO D

The Rev. Dr.. Talmage address,
ed an lmmense cnngrt cation at st.
James Hall, London, sunday. AS
was expected, the capacity OF the
auditorium was wholly inadequate
to accommodate the throng that
cane to hear the American orator.
DIR. Talmrge is well known and
greatly admired by the English
people. His visits there are al
ways memorable for the religious
enthusiasm they evoke.
DR.. Talmage is a remarkable
man. I hough So years old. he is
in the prime Of his mental and
physical power. His voice is as
clear as it was when he drew en>
thusiastic multitudes to the old
Brooklyn Tabernacle, thirty
years ago. His memory is pro-
1igious. He has a capacity for
describing what ne has sean that
never has been excelled and just
enough of the dramatic quality
in his manner Of delivery to
make him a natural orator of re-
markable force.
He is tolerant of every mans
religious views, though So Sc
we're with himself that he firmly
adheres to the Westminster Con-
fession and the %sternest Calvin-
ism. So staunch is his faith in
the biblical theory OF creation
that he repudiates Darwinism,
despite the fact that nearly every
living man of broad, scholarly
mind accepts it wholly or in
part. Louis Agassiz died of a
broken heart because he was
finally convinced of the truth of
evolution after a life time spent
IN combating it, but we May
never look for such a catastrophe
IN the case of DR.. TaImage. He
is as firm as adamant when his
opinions are once confirmed. lie
is a Presbyterian Of Presbyter-
ians, but his hand is not raised
against any creed. Toward every
body but himself he accords the
widest latitude of opinion.
To this fact, as much DIS to
splendid ability, is due his wide
popularity. The latter is unques~
tionable. No groined arch Or
gilded architrave confines his
power Or usefulness. He is a sers
want of the Faith anywhere.

LOOTING THE CUBANS.


where he is in touch with the pow
erfui influences that sent him to
Cuba with the privilege of lootipg
without limit if he could escape
the vigilant eyes of the army Off
GERS. He has no desire to be tried
by either Spanish law or military
courts. The astonishing doctrine
is raised in his behalf that be can
not be sent back to be tried where
his crime was confessedly commit
ted, because Cuba is a foreign
country that has neglected to me-
gotiate an extradition treaty with
the United States. In other words,
the shortcomings of the situation
are to be utilized to keep the po-
litical pet out of the penitentiary.
All this is mush and nonsense.
In no sense is Cuba a foreign
country. It is temporarily Amer
lean, or else it has no political
standing whatever, and the delay
in sending Neeley back to be tried
and punished in full view of the
people he wronged is simply a
partisan dodge to help him out of
punishment altogether. The ado
mlnistration we'll knows that he
cannot be tried and punished in
this country, and when 1t refuses
to send him back it simply says
that he shall not be tried or pun
ished at all. This is the issue at
present. This is the form in which
this astonishing case will 60 to the
people next November, unless
Medley be sent back and tried and
punished.
If he is not sent back it will be
because powerful influences are
behind him. No wonder he abuses
the officers Of the government for
putting him off at Rochester. No
wonder Majah Rathbone is defiant.
No wonder, too, that the North
American Trust company goes
steadily on in its exploitation of
the island. Rathbone is not even
under arrest, and the North Amer~
lean Trust company is the gov
ernment's financial agentin Cuba.
There r others Tuconia rail-
way is one Of the others. This
railway is six miles long, con-
Meeting the town with portions
of the harbor of Havana, It
should have cost, say competent
men, about 1858, 900; it will
cost the government $742, 900.
Hecker is in it. Hecker of
Michigan. But Perry Heath's
North American Trust company
will probably be found behind
and under all such scandals; and
what is needed now is a full ex-
pose of the North American
Trust company, and the prompt
extradition of Indiana Medley.
Send the one back, and rip the
other up the back.

AND FREE LUNCH, ALSO.
What the South Might Demand Along
with Free Silver.

A. L. Stillwell, in Manufacturers Record
1t seems to me that it is high time for the
South to desire. not the success of the
Democratic party, nor the success of any
other party, but the success of the South
To accomplish this extensive trade with
the Orient will certainly be that which
will benefit the cotton growers of the South
and the mills of the South
The Republican party and its present plat
form stand for everything that is enlight-
ening and which will benefit our country,
North, South, East and West. This coun-
try produces, through the great skill and
inventive genius of its people, more goods
than be used by it's inhabitants, and.
therefore. to bring prosperity to ALL the
expansion of our trade is absolutely neces-
sary.
An open door in China and our colonial
policy which has been adopted by the Re-
publican party are absolutely necessary to
bring to the factories and to give labor
in the cotton fields and the grain fields
of our country work at ample wages. To
close our eyes to these conditions and shout
for something else is absolute nonsense.
There is one thing which they left out of
the Kansas City platform, and that is in
favoring free silver 10 to i they should also
favor free lunch II to l. Free silver 16 TO 1
means chaos in finance, stagnatiOn in buSi-
ness. bankruptcy for banks, closing down
of factories and would throw thousands
of people out of employment, and there
fore any party which advocates free silver
16 TO l should also advocate free lunch u
TO I. as there would be millions OF people
II free silver ever came TO be a law who
would have neither silver nor gold to live
on and would certainly need free lunch
II 10 !.
/ certainly hope the Republican party and
the principles it stands for will at the
coming election snow under the opponents
of the progress of this country so deep
that they will never be able to dig them
selves cut and that then the better ele-
ment of the Democratic party will come
10 the front and put the old party where
II was-a conservative. living, vital force
as 1t has been in the past.
