Awning tho Enemy.

The IntellIEencer can readily under
stand the chuckllng glee Of the Regis
ter over this papers remarks on the
Rraxton county dIssentients. The ac-
zion taken by our impetuous friends In
Braxton, to use a common expression
Il nuts for the Democracy" This Is
tie deplorable feature, Of the whole uf-
fair. The palsled efforts of the Regis
ter TO dIscredit the statements of the
1ntelnRencer in connection with the
rurlp convention of those Braxton Re-
publieans who refused to abide by the
regular and orderly proceedings OF the
proper convention, cannot take away
one element of the Justice Of the Intelli-
6encer's contentious.
In It's efforts to create dlssenslon and
dissatisfaction within the Republican
ranks the Register is most ably second
cd by an alleged Republican paper pub
Iished at Moundsvllie. Journal that Is
without influence at home OF credit
abroad. 1t is to such papers that the dis
turbing elements in the Republican par
~ pour out their tales of woe, thereby
putting a club in the hands of Gae ene-
my which seeks to destroy the power
Of the Republican party in this state.
These gentlemen have seen ut to seek
Democratic sympathy, and exploit their
alleged grievances in the Democratic
press to the dIscredlt of the fair fame OF
west Virginia Republicanism. AS they
have chosen their friends let them so to
them for aid and comfort.
THE Intelllgencer has always been
willing to give a hearing to any legIti-
mate complaints of the unjust treat
ment OF any Republican, but 1t most
asSuredly objects to becoming sewer
for bitter inVectlva and vIndlct!ve cpl
tibet applied by onn Republican to an
other. soIled linen of that character
cannot be wash ed out and dried through
these columns.
In its attitude toward the Braxton
county dIssertlerts the IntellIgencer
was perfectly justified. 1t gave pub
llcation to the proceedings of the rump
convention held at Sutton last satur-
day, but at the same time 1t reserved its
right to disagree with the results of
the meeting. At that time. in referring
to the convention edltorially. 1t said:
"The Intelllgencer gives 1t tthe ac-
count Of the convention) publication as
relating the side Of the dIssentients
from the regular convention, but it re-
grets to say that it cannot endorse Its
proceedings in toto, and therefore
claims the same right to a free express
sion Of Its opinion that 1t has accorded
to them"
All Of which was uttered In the best
interests Of the party. not in anger, but
more in sorrow for the erring ones.

Action for AZ Of PrOvIdenoe.

A companion piece Of humor with
the suit Of the members Of the Wheel
ing ball club for damages for malicious
prosecution" against parties who swora
ont warrants for their arrest for viola
ting the sanctlty OF the Sabbath, Is the
action taken by certain capitalists of
stroudsburg. Pennsylvania, who built u
brewery, and who are now CndeavorIng
TO recover damages from a Methodist
minister because the lightning struck It
in answer to his prayer to that effect.
II appears that there was great OBJ
lection on the part of the majority OF
cItizsns Of the Pennsylvania town to
the erection OF the brewery, and feeling
ran so high that the churches took up
the fight Of the people, and one evening
Rev. Il. L. Dixon, n prominent Metho-
dist clergyman, in the course OF his
opsning prayer, called upon God to
strike the brewery with lightning. 1t
occurs that shortly after during n vlo-
lent storm, lightning struck the brew
cry. partially wrecking 1t, and knocking
from ladder two sons Of another
Methodist minister who were at work
on the building.
No one was killed and the brewery
was not burned, but the prayer created
80 much comment that the capitalists,
who are prominent in social circles, de-
olded tina. they were engaged in logl-
tlmate calling and should not be made
IN, target OF pulpit lmprccatIons as It
injured the social standing OF them
selves and families. Lawyers who have
looked up the case say the men have a
Argt-claas cause OF action and 1t Is
stated the case will be fought to nm
ish.
The Rev. Mr.. Dixon claims he cannot
be held responsible for an act OF Provl-
dence which brought the subjects Into
unanvIahlc notorlety and the question
promises 10 be one Of the most novel
ever tried In n Pennsylvania court

T.ono Deserved Propagation.

The Methodist Episcopal church,
through It's General Conference, while 1t
has not technically taken a step in
favor OF woman suffrage, 1t virtually
acknowledges the utility of woman in
church work. and very properly gives
her a voice In It's councils. Relatively
speaking 4. favors woman suffrage. The
question Of admitting women as dele
gates to conferences has long been agi-
tated and the pleasing conclusion
reached will, without doubt, be ratified
by the required majority Of the l2t an
nual conferences.
In speaking OF the action Of the Gen
eral Conference the Albany Journal
says:
THAT the action of the conference is
commendable need hardly be said, The
wonder is that 1t was so long delayed,
that the successive General Conferences
through many years refused to grant to
the women OF the church right which
they had fully earned by their faithful
and hard work in the congregations.
. But for the women. a great many OF the
smaller Methodist churches would have
20 be abandoned It is the women who
swell the attendance, who virtually
maintain the Sunday school by taking
charge Of the classes. who devise plans
for raising money and give their tins.
their labor and their money to carry out
such plans; In short, the women are the
life Of most churches. Yet they had to
walt until now for admission to the
General Conference. For their tardy
recognition OF their sister workers
rights. the men Of the church deserve
no special credit; the best that can BE-
said for them is, better late than
never"
Virtually the same question 10 before
the General Assembly OF the influential
Presbyterian church. In session at ST,
Louis. and the other day that body was
startled by the rebellion Of the women
who objected to the Assembly ruling on
the funds contributed by them without
having voice In their disposition. our

some burdocks had appeared in the
