METHODIST CONSTITUTION.
According to Reports Received the
New Document Will Carry or
Fail by Close Margin.

Chicago, Oct. 16.-The Northwestern
Christian Advocate, the organ of the
Methodists in the west, states that OF
the 119 conferences of the church, 1O3
have voted on the new constitution
adopted at the general conference,
held in Chicago last May. The vote
to date is, for 1873, and against, p
$50. This gives only seven more than
the three-furths vote necessary to
adopt; but IL other conferences, with
about 900 votes, + yet to be heard
from, and the Advocate says that lead
ing churchmen realize a shift of SEN
timent in any one conference may
change the history of the organiza-
ton.
IF the constitution is rejected
| the Advocate continues, the reef up
on which it will be wrecked will be
that of the relation of women to the
government bodies of the denomina'
ton"
The new constitution, among Other
| things, authorizes the election o.
women to the general conference.

Damaging Evidence Against Mrs.

er has been informed of the examina-
ton made by Prof. Curtis c. Howard,

arsenic in Mrs. Pugh's stomach, thus
confirming the report of DR.. c. H.
Breidenbach, who made an examina-
ton of the stomach soon after death
DR.. B~reidenbach reported the pres

did o substantiate this feature.

TRUSTS AND FREE TRADE.
MonopoIies Flourish Only Under Pro-
lection of "A High
Tariff.

The effort of the protectionists TO
show that. the tariff does not breed or
aid trusts, because there are trusts IN
free-trade England has been dis
proved by the showing made that
nearly all the combinations to control
any particular industry in that coun-
try have been unsuccessful there and
have either retired from the field or
are practically bankrupt. The reason
for this is evident when it is consld-
cred that the markets of England are
open to the manufacturers of the
whole world and a trust or monopoly
cannot long exist where competition
is free or unless it has some privilege
or advantage that gives it opportunity
to become a monopoly. 1t may be that
the laws have allowed the trust to be-
| come the owners of all the raw mate
rial or all the mines from which the
monopoly gets it's supply, as in the
case of the anthracite coal trust which
is not protected by the tariff nor does
it need to be, for it has no foreign
competition to dispute the home mar
ket with il, there being practically no
other deposit of that kind of coal than
what is controlled by the trust. This
trust is protected by law in another
way. 1t owns or controls all the
transportation, through the fran
chises granted by tina state to the rail-
roads and dictates the rates so that
no rival can compete with it. With
the steel trust it is different. Every
thing that it produces is protected by
the tariff at so high a rate that it ex'
cludes all foreign products. 1t also
owns the greater part of the mlne'
from which the ore, that can be the
most economically mined and smelted
is produced. 1t also owns or control!
the transportation on the great lakes
: through its side partner the ship trust
, and has already commenced to add u
this by buying up the ocean freigh
carriers. So that in addition TO tn
. monopoly that the tariff gives il il
the United States and which it know
will be removed when the people thor
q oughly understand the question, tn
Q trust is preparing to hold a monopol
A of raw material and of transportatio
for it and for it's surplus productio
which must be sold beyond seas.
o If other trusts or m~onopolies ar
r investigated it will be found that pr
q lection by law, either in the form {
n tariff. franchises, or the control of ra
l. material, is what allows it to be
;e monopoly. Remove the special pri
10 ileges and the trust cannot long eXis
o competition will soon make it find i
" level. That is the reason trusts a
m not finding a congenial soil in fire
trade England and are rampant in pr
re- tected Germany.

CONCENTRATION OF CAPITAL.
ynst Favor shown Banks and Com
bines by the
ment.

One of the reasons given for the in
crease of capital of New York and
other banks is the call for immense
loans that under the national bank
ing law cannot be made by banks
with a small capital, though they may
have an enormous reserve fund. The
law allows only one-tenth of the
capital of a bank to be loaned to any
one person or corporation.
The consolidation of the great
banks still continues. The First ma
tional bank, of New York, has abb
sorbed the National Bank of the Re-
public. The latter institution is one
of the IL or ~ largest banks in the
New York Clearing House %associa-
ton.
This concentration of capital by the
financial magnates foreshadows the
formation of the much-talked-of
money trust. which, in fact, has been
| already secured by the community of
interest plan, somewhat similar in
scope to the railroad combination.
The amount of money controlled
BY the consolidated bank mentioned
above is equal to, if it does not eX-
coed, the capital of the United States
bank at the time of the veto of it's re-
charter by President Jackson, when
its capital was So 5000, 900, of which
the government owned $1,000, 900.
The most dangerous features to the
people of these vast consultations OF
the money power is the reaching out
into the interior of the country fol-
the control of banks in the leading
cities other than New York. The
Rockefeller combination has already
secured one of the principal banks il
Cincinnati and Kansas City and there
may be many other banks controlled
by them that have not come to light
The power of the United State
bank in shaping political matters il
, the time of President Jackson
though then considered enormous
was very trifing compared to tn
, vast power that can be exercised to
day by the united money power o
Wall street. This was shown in tn
campaign of 1896, and since that tim
=. their power has largely increase

munity-of-interest" plan.

Usut. Surgeon Golfer reports he made
'.,sful injuries as to the chanc rs of

AZ general opinion was that in time

board of health has initiated a new
.vstem for preventing the lepers and
,Mtsir relatives and friends from EN-
racing and kissing each other by
marching the visitors Immediately
from the steamer landing to a CORA
with a double fence. The friends are
cancelled to remain inside this in

and talk through the bars. Visitors
are permitted at any time under thi'
system, instead of only once a year
as formerly. The results of know

There can be no doubt that in
the western portion of the country
there is a strong feeling among repub-
leans in favor of both reciprocity and
a withdrawal of protection from trust
controlled products. 1t will not do,
however, to build up too much hope
for tariff reform upon this circum-
stance alone. Western republicans
have frequently been at issue with
their eastern party brethren, but in
the end the eastern wing has absolute
