The Information in the cablegram
Is considered clear evidence Of Ecua-

Maintained strict neutrality, but the

London. Sept 6.--The Ecumenical
Methodist conference unanimously de.
clined to hear the secretary read the
message of the archbishop Of Canter
bury in which he expressed q hope
that some day the Methodists would
be united with the Episcopalialis, and
OF similar import the message Of the
bishop of London, on the ground that
they had been addressed to the editor
VI q religious newspaper and not to
the conference.
The Rev. |. Bowman Stephenson, OF
England, in moving that the message
should not be received, said that the
conference would not have had cause
to complain had the prelates been ap.
preached in a proper manner.
Discussing the present position of
Methodism, the Rev. 7. E. buckles. of
King Williams Town, Cape Colony,
went into the relations between the
South African natives and the Euro.
peans. He said he believed the war
would purify the administration of the
natives.
Bishop Hartzell, missionary bishop
Of the Methodist Episcopal church in
Africa, said the present time was the
beginning Of another empire of An

Most of the time OF the session was
taken up by reports on the progress
of methods of the United States

The proceedings were enlivened by
an ardent pro-English speech deliv.

Frequent Interruptions arose from

Sharon, Pa, Sept 6.-An offer OF
Andrew Carnegie to place a pipe or
gan in the Central Presbyterian
church at New Castle, is meeting
with bitter opposition. and serious
trouble in the congregation is threat
ened.
Mr.. Carnegie's agent came to New
Castle few days ago to take the
measurements for the instrument.
When 1t became generally known that
,he gift was to be accepted ominous
mutterings were heard. Now a storm
of protest has blown up. What the
outcome will be cannot be prophesied,
Mr.. Carnegie offered New Castle
free library some time ago, but the
proposition met with so much oppo-
sition that the matter was dropped.

pENsIoN-oRABBlNd IN VIRGINIA.

Tho proposal to increase the pension
lend OF Virginia 100000 may well create
dccp concern in the minds Of all who re-
call the financial ricissitudcs OIL TINS S'"'e.
After more than thirty years OF deep
financial trouble, Virginia has at iasS
placed her feet upon solid ground. 10
have this ground now washed away by a
ncusion food would be a disaster so far
reaching that it is difficult to contcm-
plate 1t with cauanimity.
We believe that our record as loyal
Confcdcratcs is without n biemish ana
ST Is no lack of sympathy either with the
Confederate cause or with its defenders
that makes US most earnestly protest
against this pcrvcrsion of legislative pow
er under the guise Of showing apprecia-
ton Of the Confederate heroes. Exactly
the same claim has been made by the
poiiticians in the North who wanted to
strengthen tho Republican party by an
abandoned recklessncss in dispensing
public funds TO Union soldiers. The fraud
and corruption which have grown out
OF that abuse Of power have undermined
the character of the North, and patriotism
is now regarded mainly as purchasable
article, and civic virtue. if not dead. is IN
a 1noribund condition. To increase and
spread the germs Of this poison in Vir-
GINA would be most injurious to the
character OF our people and would be as
a premium upon all sorts OF corruption.
There is no reason why any old Conied-
crate soldier who really needs assistance
should not get it from the locality where
he lives through the properly-constituted
authorities of his county.
Let this means Of bidding for popularity
be once started and we shall see in Nir-
Einia the same proceedings which have
disgraced the United States Congress and
the Pension Bureau. The whole thing is
not only wrong in principle, but disas-
trous in result. and but for the timidity
of politicians both in Congress and in the
Legislature it would be denounced IL
terms which it deserves.
In face Of the combined forces Of the
timid and the designing it is inspiring to
see the sturdy courage and integrity Of
Senators Glass and Keezcll who are OPP
posed TO opening this box, which has all
the ills Pandora's ever had. without
residuum OF hope.
1t would be interesting to hear the rea
sons which are assigned for this wild and
hasty zeal for the old soldier. Does it
spring entirely from sympathy for the
dcsolate and forlorn. or is there some
shrewd. if not sinister. political move
which is using the old soldier as a stalk
ing horse?
Who knows? We do not, and can only
inquire.
That there is something in the wind
more than appears. seems highly proba
bic.

These men met together in a spirit of
peace and friendship. There was no

Speaking of the peace conference in
New York between representative CAPT
talists and representative laEoring men,
the New York World says:
There has been so much talk of such
plans as this and it has all seemed so re-
mote and idealistic that the public is
stunned and almost incredulous. But
after all. why not? IT is as true as 1t
is trite that in the last analysis labor
and capital and their interests are one.
Why should not the enlightened capital
ist-laborers and Ia boring capitalists of
America act upon this truth and set the
example of common sense and co-opera
ton and Comradeship that would be so
emnently worthy of their time and OF
their great. free, Democratic country?
This conference this angel-visit which
New York has had almost una wares, will
be memora bic whether the results are
the partial realization of Utopia or only
d stride toward it. 1t is a nota Bile event

On the same subject the Philadelphia

1t is obvious to all that the recent in

"hoie conditions OF the OLD problem. i he
universal tendency is toward completcr
organization and toward scientific ad-
justnlent of social and industrial forces

necessary or possible in a former genera
ton. The OLD personal relations OF en-
ployer and employed have in a large de-
gree given place 20 what may be called
corporate relations, and the right adjust

study than which there IS none more I'M
