TWO NEW BISHOPS.

The Methodist church OF this country
both north and south, has long been ia
nous for the ability and eloquence Of its
bishops.
The Methodist Episcopal Church. South,
at its general conference Thursday added
two notably strong men to it's college Of
bishops. which already included some of
the most famous divines in this section.
Out of a number of admirably qualified
doctors of divinity the conference chose
Rev. Elihu Embree Hoss, d, D., L. L. D.,
and Rev. A. Coke Smith. d. d.
The bishops-elect are among the fore
most leaders of Methodism in the south.
Both are men Of large learning and APP
proved executive ability; both are preach
ers OF rare power; both are personally
very much beloved by the hosts whom
they are to take under their episcopal
care.
Both the new bishops are in the very
prime OF life, each being about ffty-two
years of age They have done heroic SER
vice for their church and seem to be good
for much more.
DR.. Hoss has distinguished himself
greatly as an editor. as well as a preacher.
For the last twelve years the Christian
Advocate, published at Nashville, one Of
the leading Southern Methodist journals,
has been edited by him. At the general
conference four years ago DR.. Hoss re-
ceived a majority of the votes cast at an
election for bishops. but two other can
didates received even a few more votes.
A question arose as to whether all
three, or only two, of the candidates were
elected Dr. Hoss himself rose and said
that there could be no doubt about the
fact that he was not elected, though he
had received a majority vote. as the con-
ference had adopted a resolution before
the ballot to elect only two bishops and
the two receiving the highest votes were
the only ones chosen.
This manly action raised DIR. Hoss still
higher in the estimation of the conference
than he stood before ana the overwhelm-
ing vote he received Thursday was a very
high tribute to him and one richly de-
served.
Bishop-elect Smith is we'll known
throughout the south. He is a native OF
South Carolina and has filled many of the
most important pulpits of that and other
states. He is esteemed one of the fore
most preachers Of his church.
The Southern Methodists are increasing
so fast that 1t becomes necessary to elect
bishops at every general conference, that
is TO say, every four years.
Many members of the conference were
in favor of eleeting more than two this
year. Bishop Keener is very old and one
or two. other bishops are in feeble health,
and the church is growing very rapidly.
There is plenty of hard work before
Bishops-elect Hoss and Smith, but they
are used to the strenuous life and glory
in II.
Few men labor so zealously and persist
emily as the bishops of the Methodist
| church. They are among the most de-
voted, most influential and most unselfish
men in the country and also among the
| most useful.

LORD PAuNcEEoTE.

The career OF the late Lord Pauncefote
had become illustrious before he came to
the United States as the ambassador of
Great Britain. but in that ONCE his high
est and most lasting fame was won.
About fourteen years ago he succeeded
as ambassador Sackville- West, who, by
his intermeddIing with American politics
had aroused no small degree of indlgna-
ton in this country and contributed no
little to the defeat Of President Cleveland
in 1855.
Lord Pauncefotes record at Washington
was entirely satisfactory to his own gov
eminent and entitled him to the respect
and esteem OF the people of the United
States.
In his earlier life he had served In high
diplomatic stations in Asia. Africa and the
islands Of the Caribbean sea and wherever
he had been stationed was found faithful
and capable to a very notable degree.
He possessed natural abilities OF an I'M
usual order and had received the thorough
training which Great Britain always be-
slows upon the members of her diplomatic
corps.
His great life-work was done in this
country. He did more than any other
Englishman of his generation to establish
better relations between Great Britain and
and the United States. thereby comforting
great benefits upon both nations and es-
tablishing permanent fame for himself If
| our government had had at the head of its
/ state department a man less fully equip
ped than Mr.. Hay for its difficult and deli
/ cate duties. and Great Britain had been
represented here by a statesman Of less
| tact and liberality than Lord Pauncefote
/ the two countries would not be on the
terms OF mutual confidence and cordiality
which they now enjoy.
These two men accomplished what
seemed the almost impossible task OF Sc
surfing the abrogation Of the Clayton-Bul-
wer treaty which had become unsatisfac-
tory to both governments. But, while it
was agreed on both sides that a compact
better suited to modern conditions was

greatly TO be desired, how to reach an
agreement upon the exact scope and form
OF a new convention was a question which
taxed the wisdom and ingenuity of true
craftsmanship.
The treaty first agreed upon by Hay and
Pauncefote was rejected by our senate.
The authors of that compact did not ces-
pair, however, but returned at once to
the great work they had undertaken.
They counselled and labored together in
a spirit of reciprocal forbearance, with a
patriotic determination to protect the
honor and interests Of their own govern
ments, and at the same time an earnest
desire to effect a better understanding
among the two great English-speaking
nations of the world.
They succeeded in framing a treaty to
which no reasonable objection could be
offered either in Washington or London.
This achievement will stand as one Of
the noblest triumphs of modern diplo-
macy. The honor of It belongs equally to
They are equally entitled to the gratitude
OF the British and the American public.
During his entire stay in the United
States Lord Pauncefote. in his every rela-
aion, conducted himself In a way that
compelled the respect and admiration OF
our people and his death is sincerely de-
plored throughout this country. He was
a statesman and a gentleman who hon
Ored his country and his race.

TO A SOUL IN DARKNESS.

Someone has taken the trouble to mail
us the following clipping from the Mad
ison Madisonian;
And now many of our unwily exchanges
are commencing the Atlanta Journals

columns to a free discussion of the issues
of the gubernatorial campaign. These
brothers are unaware that this liberal
ity' costs about ten cents a line. The
Journal is not in business for its health. =
We are quite sure Editor Bacon has no
desire to do The Journal an injustice, but
It would have been very little trouble for
him to have learned. that The Journal
invited the respective candidates for gov
ernor, and their friends, TO use its col
umns "free OF charge" and that not one
cent has been offered or received by II for
publishing the communications amount
ing now TO more than 100 columns) which
have appeared during the three weeks that
the Joint debate" has been in progress.
The Journal being a paper of almost un-
iversaI circulation in this state, believes
that its duty is to represent all the people
and to let them be heard through its col
umns, regardless Of their political affilia-
tions. This alone was its purpose in open
ing its "joint debate
Had The Journal been willing to charge
for these communications. even at the
rate OF 10 cents per line fixed by the es-
teemed Madisonian, it's bill would already
amount to more than 5000. But mas
much as our rate is % cents per line, It
will be seen that herein the Madisonian
again does The Journal an injustice,
which. we take it, 1t viii be willing to cor
rect with due promptness.

AFRAID OF THE ISSUES,
SAYS TAPP TO HILL
Macon. Ga

To the Editor of The Journal
/ have read the recent abusive commune
cations issued from the Terrell headquar-
tiers signed by Mr.. Warner Hill, as chair
man of the Terrell campaign.
1 think that 1 need only call the atten-
ton of the people of Georgia to the fact
of the inconsistency OF the policy Of Mr..
Terrell and his campaign managers. In
the beginning of this campaign they
claimed to be running their campaign on
a high plane" The opposition, In their
minds, was not worthy of consideration
but in this hour when they see they are
going down in defeat, the high plane
campaign and running on his own mer-
it's" has become q. campaign of abuse and
ordinations. 1 think 1 am safe in saying
that the people want to hear from MI
Joseph NJ. Terrell rather than Mr. warner
Hill. They want to know where Mr.. Ter
rell stands on these questions before the
people, and all the abuse OF Mr.. Hill tor
the purpose of side tracking these issues
will not be satisfactory to the people OF
Georgia Is Mr.. Terrell In favor OF re-
ouiring the Southern railway to become
Incorporated under the laws Of Georgia;
If so why did he not put 1t In his plat
form? Is Mr. Terrell in favor or requir-
ing the Southern and other railroads 70
pay their Just prorata share OF taxes, Sc
as to tighten the burden on the FARMERS,
the merchants and the private clJl1ehs VI
Georgia; If so why did he not make 1t one
of the planks of his platform? Is Mr.. Ter
rell in favor of having a railroad commits
sion in Georgia that will give the farmers
the merchants and the industrial systems
of this state equitable and just freight
rates; If so why did he not make 1t one
of the blanks in his platform Is Mr.. Ter
rell in favor of abolition of barrooms, and
the unholy LIQUOR traffic from the confines
of Georgia. If so why did he not so state
in his platform?
Mr. Editor, these are vital issues to the
people of Georgia, and the i1on' Dupon'

Mr.. TerrelFs campaign managers car

and churches to the unholy liquor traffic,
but be IL said to the honor of the senate
of Georgia, that there was only eight in
that body who agreed with Mr.. Terrell and
81 that disagreed with him and the bill
became law. And challenge Mr.. Ter
rell to deny his vote on that bill.
1t has been asked of Mr.. Terrell If he
did not,advise, and If his influence was not
used to defeat the Howard bill In the last
Legislature to tax franchises of railroads
in Georgia. The question has been asked
Mr. Terrell while attorney general, and
when he was the legal adviser of the state.
If he did not receive private fees from
lessees Of the -convicts in Georgia. The
question has been asked him If he did not
ride on free passes while attorney gen.
eral, and why it was that he did not re-
quire the Southern railway to become in
corporated under the laws of Georgia as
provided in section 1S49 of the code. Why
does he not answer these questions for
himself? Why does he thus shield behind

Hill would have the people Of Georgia
believe-surely he can take care of him
self and answer these questions salts

tive position Of Mr.. Terrell and Mr.. Guer-

they are going to write the verdict
We wish now to request Mr.. Guerry's
friends to see that the official ballot is

polls early and stay late and see that the

SAYS TERRELL IS CONSISTENT
WHILE GUERRY is FANATIcAL

To the Editor of The Journal:
When we view a master painting it is
the contrast of objects and colors that
catches the attention and charms the
mind; and so in the present gubernatorial
campaign, it is the contrast between con-
servatism and fanaticism that enlists pub
lie attention and like the invisible
sculptors," brings in to bold relief the
wisdom emanating from the admirable
policy of that magnanimous leader, Hon.
8 ]. NJ. Terrell, and the vain folly of his
Macon opponent, as displayed in the lat
ter's public Trades. 1t is evident to the
masses of Georgia's citizens that it is a
case of "sour grapes" with the Macon
man. Judging from Candidate Query 5
malicious attacks on Mr.. Terrells char
acter ii would seem that even a saint
can sin; and on the fifth, proximo, the
citizens of old Georgia will send him to
the ranks of private life over the rapid
transit" line of ballots. A man who is so
bitter in his denunciation of everything
and everybody is certainly not free from
bias to say the least
