United Brethren General Conference.

The General Conference Of the United
Brethren Church met in Frederick Md, May
9. to continue for about two weeks. 1t is the
highest legislative body of the denomination
it represents, and meets every four years. 1t
consists of ministers and laymen chosen by
the vote of the members at an election held
in November last Each annual conference
is represented by not less than two and not
more than four ministers, and by one or more
laymen, according to the number of its mem
bers.
The gathering will also be the centennial
session of the General Conference. The con-
ference at which the name ''United Brethren"
was adopted, by which the church is known,
was held at the home of Mr. Peter Kemp, near
Frederick, September 25, 1900. 1t was this
historic idea that lead to the holding of the
centennial session at that place. The centen-
NAL feature will be prominent during the first
five days of the session, when important ques-
tions growing out of the past history of the
church will be discussed by leading church
men.
The United Brethren Church numbers
100000 communicates, 1900 ministers and
200 churches Numerically it ranks eighth
among the Protestant denominations in the
United States.

The Baltimore Election.

An election was held in Baltimore last
Tuesday for members of the city council. The
Republicans were victorious in eighteen of the
twenty -four wards Only about sixty per
cent. of the vote was poled. The Baltimore
Star says:
The Democrats seemed utterly Indifferent
as 10 the result. and made no fight anywhere
except in the Eleventh aud Twelfth wards,
where The strong personality Of the candidates
aroused the enthusiasm of the party workers
and voters. In both these wards they won,
and the same result would have been attained
elsewhere and the majority III the Council re
tanned had as much work been done IN the
other wards. As it is. had anything like a
full Democratic vote been poled the party
would have won the fight which was lost
through apathy and Indifference.
Out of u total registered vote of III 900 but
81. 900 was poled, and Of these te Republi-
can candidates received 34,223 aud the Dem
ocrats 80, OIL, making the Republican plurali
ty in the city 2,202.
In the city election two years ago Tor Coun
cilmen the Democratic vote was 57.661 and
the Republican vote was 40, 928. 1t will thus
be seen what degree of indifference prevail
ed throughout the town, and it will make 1t
appear more clearly evident that the result
cannot be taken as an evidence OF any decay
or falling Off IN the real strength OIL the Dem :
ocratic party, but rather otherwise.
The voters would take no interest in the
matter, for they could not he made to see
that the election of a Councilman, whose du-
ties are in no wise partisan, could have any
effect whatever on the welfare of the party,
or be factor in any way to party success IN
the future That this view was taken by
thousands of Democrats was we'll known to
everybody, particularly as the Council under
the new Charter has very little power of any
sort and the members very little influence in
the management of city affairs. Even the
politicians we're Indifferent, and in the strongest
Democratic wards in town seemed to care very
little who was elected or whether the members
of the party voted or not.
The Democrats generally take their defeat
philosophically and appear as Indifferent as
they did during the campaign. They point
to the light vote as an explanation of the re-
suit and have no fear as to the outcome IN
the State election this fall.

Never before in the history of Wall street
has there been such trading in one stock as
was done in Nothern Pacific common within
the past week. A few months ago it was as
low as 81. SO per share. but on Wednesday last
ii jumped to $3.50, a gain over the previous
day of $39. so; at night, in an uptown hotel
400 shares we're sold at $500. To say the
Exchange was wild, excited, crazy, gives but
little idea of the condition ofaffairs. Soon il
slump began, and ii closed at $3.50. During
the day there was shriukage in twenty eight
stocks of $146, 668, $3.50 AS much AS SO
per cent. was paid for money, and many call
loans were made at from to Is per cent.

side of the market and retired with $40O,0OO

On Thursday the same stock sold at 81, 900

The cause Of the sudden rise in Northern
Pacifies is fight for the control of the road

of that road, and when everything is ready a

rivals for trade with the Orient and Russia.

Census Enumerators Indicted.


On the fourth page OF this issue will be
found some account of the indictments the
United States Grand Jury returned against
four census takers in St. Mary's county and
Joseph II. Ching, lawyer, of the same
county, who is charged with aiding and abet-
ting the Census frauds in that county. There
are nine indictments-one containing 3s4
counts, one 1879, one 1913 and one SO. The
indictments were printed aud bound IN book
form, aud weigh forly-eight pounds. The
one charging conspiracy weighs fourteen OF
the forty-eight pounds. The latter indictment
charges the whole five with having jointly
conspired, together with other persons TO the
grand Jury unknown Public suspicion points
to one man, and should the five indicted per-
sons be convicted, public sentiment will con-
Wet one of the unknown to the grand jury.
The trial of the men will begin on May II,
and if their attorneys take all the advantages
ofdelay, it is probably verdicis may be reached
some time in the present decade. The nine
indictments contain about 100000 words.
If printed in the ADVOCATE in the size OF the
TYNE this article is set in, the indictments
would fill about fourteen hundred columns, or
an equivalent to forty four issues of the AD-
vocATE Of thirty-two columns each. The
reading of the indictments in full, it insisted
upon, would require nearly eight weeks.
There is no limit of time in the examination
of witnesses and their cross examination, the
cross firing of lawyers, and there will proba-
bly, be no limit set to the arguments before
the jury.
During the trials. so protracted as they will
be, and the hot season being on, 1t IS more
than likely that jurors may become weary and
scken, and some of The cases will have to be
begun anew.
Then, when the cases are submitted to the
jury, it may be difficult matter TO ascertain,
for instance in the case of enumeration Stephen
A. Abel, whether he is guilty as charged in
all the S94 counts, or only as charged in some
of them.
AT all events the trials promises to be pro-
tracted. and results very uncertain.

Nobody Better Than Addicks.
From the New York World.


The gasman who for years has vainly sought
an election to the Senate from Delaware said
to the Legislature at its last session ''Ad-
dicks or nobody The honest courage of
seven Republicans members and the frmness
of the Democrats made the choice ''nobody,"
and the prospect is that Delaware will be
without representation in the Senate at the
next session of Congress, as Governor HUM
will not call an extra session of the Legisla-
ture until Addicks withdraws.
The Mark Hanna end of the Administration
is so desperately anxious for two additional
members of the upper house of Congress that
its influence was openly used to secure the
election of Addicks. The effort failed, and
the seven Republicans with conscience were
lionized in the State and applauded through
out the country. Now, according to the Phil.
adelphia Ledger, Delaware is to be punished
for this honorable example of incompatible
INDEPENDENCE. ''The State has been deprived
of the United States Engineers office, seed
distribution has been cut off and the plans tor
rural free delivery of the mails have been
stopped.
The Ledger prints interviews with promi'
nent business men of Wilmington on this at
tempt to bulldoze the State into disgrace, and
a large majority say, vacancies 10 the crack
of doom rather than Addicks." This is the
right spirit, and is highly creditable to the
little State whose big neighbor has re elected

The Baltimore Election.


The election for city councilmen in Baln-
more last Tuesday resulted in a Republican
victory.
1t is said there was detection in the Demo-
cratic party and lack Of interest in the cleo
ton.
These excuses will not avail. Baltimore
has been regarded as a Southern city, as the
Gateway to the South, and many of her lead
ing business men still so regard the city.
Last fall, however, Baltimore, in the election,
allied herself with the North and West. Last
Tuesday she gave another instance of not be-
ing Southern city. Not only did eighteen
of the twenty-four wards go Republican. but
one even sent Negro to the council. 1t Is
true there are about 10000 Negro voters in
the city, but this fact should weld the white
voters together.
The vote has been cast. 1t is useless now
to consider causes Baltimore city has gone
Republican. If she loses trade in the South,
it will be her own fault. Southern people
would rather deal with Republicans where
Republicans count for something, not with a
city governed with a party whose chief
strength is Negroes and renegade Southerners.

European Combine Against Us.

Mail from The Hague says that Germany has
invited Austria, France, Switzerland, Holland
aud Belgium and possibly Russia and Italy,
to combine in gigantic commercial union

petition until the American duties are lowered.
