THE NJ. E. POLITICAL CONFER
BNCE.

Far too few politicians attended the
Methodist Episcopal Political Confer
ence that closed its annual session
here yesterday There were many
preachers; but as a rule preachers are
miserable failures as politicians. A
few Of those who sought to make
themselves conspicuous succeeded in
that respect; but they sadly failed to win
conspicuous respect for their political
methods. They demonstrated how to
fail Of political success; and that is
why It's pity that the politicians whose
politicsare useful to their country were
not there. Had they been present they
would have learned what to avoid by
seeing 1t practiced by the political
preachers.
Now, it is clearly quite as much the
duty Of the preacher 10 practice pure
politics and sturdily and faithfully dis
charge his duties as a citizen as to
preach pure Gospel. The preacher
who seeks to use the church as a Do
litical instrument attempts to lead his
church TO destruction. He has no more
right to evade his political duties as a
citizen, than he has to evade his cleri-
cal duties as a minister Of the Gospel
The pastor does not pay taxes as a
preacher but as a citizen. He does not
take up a collection for the foreign
missions fund as a citizen, but as a
clergyman. The admonition. "render
unto Caesar that which is Caesars. >"
was addressed to the citizen. The
command, preach Ny Gospel to every
creature was directed to the preacher.
The duties are distinct. They are in
no way incompatible; but they are not
amalgable.
When the church was political ma
chine the world was in an agony of
deadly intolerance; worse than
chaotic; murder reigned; dungeons
were foul with the rotting oarcasses Of
the prosecuted; liberty was unknown;
license triumphed; the priest was a
bloody tyrant and the church bigot
was a sanctihed butcher of babes and
women.
The political preachers who, in the
NJ E. Political Conference referred to
denounced Mckinley and pledged
themselves and a million of votes TO
oppose all parties that refuse to per-
NIT the church to dictate their plat
forms would jam the church into the
procession as a political party and
operate it as a political machine. II
they succeeded in that it would have
to find better politicians than II de-
veloped in this conference or the
whole machine would be in the hands
of some expert ward heeler before its
hrst campaign was as old as a weaned
pig.

KRUGER's EDUCATION
IT WAS GIVEN TO HIM BY AN
AMERICAN MISSIONARY.

Paul Kruger, Of the Transvaal. the
most interesting old man In the world.
was educated by an American mission
airy, says the New York Journal. This
was Rev. DR.. Daniel Lindley, who went
to South Africa in 1885 as a missionary
from the Rock River Presbyterian
Church, near Charlotte, n. c.
DR.. Lindley, previous to 1885. was a
Presbyterian minister, laboring in the
State of North Carolina, and when the
time arrived at which a missionary was
needed to go to South Africa, Dr. Lind
ley was ready to accept the call to his
new field of labor ID. F. Dixon, of
Charlotte, now an aged man, remem-
bers well the last sermon that DR..
Lindley preached before leaving Rocky
River Church.
On reaching the coast of Africa DR..
Lindley went to Zululand and the Sec
ton of country bordering on the Tu-
gela river a name now closely asso-
ciated with the war in South Africa.
One Of the first acQuaintances that
DR.. Lindley made was that Of a young
boy named Paul Kruger, the son Of a
farmer in that section inhabitated by
/ the Beers. DR.. Lindley became very
/
young life was yet to be moulded and
formed, and gave much time to the
boys improvement. In fact, Kruger
was converted one day under the
preaching of DR.. Lindley.
On account of his great interest in
the boy Dr. Lindley was very careful
and attentive to young Kruger's educa-
tiOn, and was greatly taken up in the
Training of the youth for a life Of use
FITNESS and work.
Today Paul Kruger no doubt owes
much Of his greatness and power as a
statesman, and much Of his wonderful
reputation and name for piety, to the
early efforts Of this missionary.
After spending some time on the
Dark Continent DIR. Lindley returned
home for a visit to his friends in his ma
tive State Of North Carolina, and dur
ing this visit a dinner in honor Of DR.
Lindley was given at Charlotte. Al
this dinner DR.. E. Nye Hutchinson, one
OF oldest living citizens Of Charlotte
was present and states that he we'll re.
members hearing DR.. Lindley speak Z
great deal about his wonderful expert
ences in South Africa, and also much
about Paul Kruger, who it would seem
had already made a deep impression
upon DR.. Iindley on account of his ex
ltraordinary talents and promise of com
ing greatness.
Dr. Lindley died a few years ago
having spent all his life since 1885 il

ADDIcKs OR DEFEAT.

The Sun attempts to establish a par
allel between the rupture OF the reDnb-
iican party in Delaware and the d.
vided state Of that party in Pennsyl-
vsnia. Il says:
In both states the success OF the re-
publican party is being jeopardi.ed by
insurgents and bolters. The point at
issue between the party loyalists and
the boilers is the election OF a United
states senator. and in both states have
combinations between the boilers and
democrats been made to ..revent that
election"
In Delaware the boilers secured tho
assistance Of democrats in the L,egis.
lature most undoubtedly: and the Sc
duced democrats damned themselve.
by yielding to the unholy Commercial
inducements to debauchery with which
the leader OF the personal faction
tempted them. Like frail creature,
whose shame banish them to the deg
redaticn Of street walking. the faller
democrats have been expelled by con
tempt of the respectable from associa
tion with decent party fellows.
The regular republican is the legiti
mate party in Delaware. That fac
was established by the h.shest cour
Of the party, the National Convention
Any other organization assuming to b
the republican party Of Delaware is
pretender and an imposter; It canno
be. regarded even as an illegitimat
child Of the party. It is the orsprin.

BUILDING FUND OF
 HILLMAN HOSPITAL
An Active Canvass of the City Will be Made to Raise Additional Subscriptions
 A Noble Work.

At the meeting of the board of managers of the Hillman hospital yesterday, a res- olution was passed, requesting all those citizens who have generously subscribed to the building fund of this hospital to pay their subscriptions to Mrs. Joseph MoLes- ter, trustee, 23Os Third avenue.
 It was also decided to make an active canvass of the city and solicit additional subscriptions. Many citiens have agreed to subscribe to this great work of charity, but up to date subscriptions have not been as numerous as was expected by some of the more enthusiastic good women, who have charge of this work. It is believed, however, that when this matter is thor oughy brought before the people there will be many and generous subscriptions. There is nothing Birmingham needs as badly as a charity hospital, convenient to the center of the city.

A Statement Corrected

"In yesterday mornings Age-Herald
 there appeared an article in reference to the meat inspection as now in force in this city. in which it was stated that the inspectors, had spent most of their time at the plant of the Birmingham Packing company, where the bulk of the slaughtering is now done, and that everything was conducted dn a thorough and business-like manner. It was also stated in this same article that two head of cattle, 200 pounds of meat and seventy-five pounds of liver, were condemn ed, and unintentlonally though 1t may be, the reading of the article would tend to convey the impression that the condemning of the cattle, meat and liver was done at this plant, which is an error. It is true that large per cent. of the meats slaughtered in Birmingham is handled by this concern, but of all of the cattle. hogs, sheep and other animals slaughtered at our plant since the law has been in force. no animal, or none of the meats or livers have been con- demned, showing conclusively that the meat handled by this company must be of . very hdgh quality, to stand the very rigid inspection now being conducted in this city" -

INDIGNATION AROUSED
Over the Pure Food" Speech of John
 F. Hobbs

Washington, March s.--Consfderable in- dignation was expressed at the meeting to- day of the National Pure Food and Drug congress over a paper read at last nights session by Colonel John IF. Hobbs of New York on the subject of pure food legisla- ton, the result of which was the expung- ing of Colonel Hobbs report from the of- ficial records of the organization, and with it all discussion. Colonel Hobbs defended the sale of certain substitutes for butter. declaring them to be much purer than the direct products of the COW. MT. Hobbs was attacked as an agent of the packing indus tries. Alexander J. Wedderburn, the cor responding secretary, submitted his report. Senator William E. Mason of Illinois made "a speech in favor of pure food legislation, which he regarded as being just as impor- tant and just as urgent as the tariff of Porto Rico.

Tripiett Resolution D efeated

Frankfort, March S.--The Triplett joint resolution to appropriate $10O,O0 to be ex- pended under supervision of Democra tic Governor Beckham and Adjutant General Castleman was defeated today by failure to receive constitutional majority. The reso- lution authorizing the expenditure for the purpose of armng a new state guard and recovering from Republican Governor Tay- Tor the arms removed from Frankfot to London. Four democratic senators-Rob- erts, Puryear, Jones and McConnell-voted against it. The vote stood yeas 15 nays 4. It requires 19 votes to pass a bill.
