GAINS IN M. e. CHURCH.
IRishnn McCahe.l

TBishop McCabe.l
The Methodist Episcopal church is a
military church, from the bishop to the
humblest pastor. We go where we are
sent. Last yea I went to South Amer
lea at the bidding of the committee of
assignment, altho / knew full well the
shadow of death was hanging over my
family-and so it proved. / go again
this yea without question. If l should
be ordered to Africa 1 would go.
Every preacher who takes ordination
in our church voluntarily relinquishes
his right to select his field of labor, and
every Methodist congregation relin-
Therein his church of ours differs from
other churches. Each party must be
faithful to the compact or the grand
system fills to the ground. The final
word that fixes an appointment is
spoken by the bishop and his cabinet.
Laymen sometimes grow FESTIVE under
this, but thoughtful men see that much
Of our wonderful success is to be attrib-
Gted to our itinerancy.
Now, as to our church losing members,
as an Indiana correspondent alleges.
Please print his statement. The net
gain of the Methodist Episcopal church
since 1854, a period of seventeen years,
is ]. 100, 600 souls, or 450, 900 more than the
entire accumulation of the Congrega-
tional denomination or the Protestant
Episcopal church in $50 years. That is
the way we are declining. A few more
such periods of decline as we have
had the last seventeen years will divide
Protestant Christianity in the United
States into two halves-the Methodist
Episcopal church and all the rest of 1t.
This is no boast. 1t is a simple state
of provable facts, and / feel called
upon to make it because OF the Oft
repeated assertion that the Methodist
Episcopal church is losing ground.

Bro. WILDER of the Madison Journal
has made for himself reputation as a
word painter that it will be hard to
excel. In recent address before an
assembly of New York bankers that
sparkled and scintillated with the poetry
of words, he said:
With cOnsecrated money you can
train not one child, but generation.
With money you can hasten the law that
the Truth shall make men free. With
money you can go into the dark corners
of the earth and throttle ignorance and
violence and hasten the eternal morning.
With money you can safeguard youth
from sin, and transmute black brutality
into Booker Washingtons and raise up
Abraham LincOlnS in the slums of cities.
With money you can force science to
disgorge secrets whose cruel mysteries
vex and sadden the race. With money
you can make wan woman to hope and
sick children to smile and desperate
men to take courage. Money linked
with sympathy can make dreaded
chasms between classes a FOOLS peril, and
given confidence between those who
have much and those who have little
the howl Of anarchy is throttled by the
very classes in whose name it is foully
raised A great opportunity, We men of
power, to be true to your trust while it is
day; and to have your millions toll for
you in the service of men long years af-
ter you are dust and your gravestone
stands tilted over forgotten mound"

TAX reform is truly a great study and
the question is one of great interest to
everyone, more especially at this time in
the year 1t is question too on which
there is great variety of opinion, but
there is one point that all agree on and
that is that the other fellows taxes are
altogether too low. That is the entire
question in a nutshell. Raise taxes on
all other property but ours. Corpora
lions of all kinds, railroad companies,
sleeping car companies, electric light and
water works companies, telephone com
panies, mill companies, factories, banks,
farm lands and real estate in cities, per-
sonal property, etc, etc, all are not pay
ing their just proportion of the taxes,
when the parties who do not own them
are talking. This is true in all localities
and a great many times the man that
knows the least about the subject has
the most pronounced views and does the
most talking Lake Chronotype.

GAINESVILLE.

An order has been signed by Judge
Siebecker of Dane county, by which the
case of Annie Collins against the city
will be changed from Dane to Rock
county for hearing. Arguments on the
motion to change were made on Jan. 2,
City Attorney Burpee urging the change
and j. j. Cunningham opposing it. The
case has been tried three times in the
Dane county court, and each time the
verdict has been reversed by the su-
preme court.
The Rev E Will arrived in this city,
where his family resides, Friday morn
ing, having escaped from the state hos
pital of Mendoza. He walked the entire
distance. In order to prevent detection
he had attempted to disguise himself by
shaving off his beard which he wore
when he left the state institution. He
also wore a fur coat instead of the mack
intosh in which he was last seen in Mad
ison.
Yesterday was receiving day at several
of the tobacco warehouses in this city
and about noon a goodly number of
teams, loaded with the weed nicotina,
could be seen around the warehouses,

Word was sent out from Washington
yesterday that the supervising architect
of the treasury had finally approved of
the plans and specifications for the sup

office building. The advertisements in

days. The appropriation has reached
$4,000 and it is expected when com

equal to any postoffice building in the
country, considering it's cost.

ANOTHER chapter of the political his
tory Of Dane county appeared in The
Stoughton Hub last week, all tending to
show up the present governor in the
light of man who never forgets or for
gives. This trouble with Sawyer, Fair
child, Spooner, Erdall and other leaders
of the party with whom he has quarreled
and never afterward exhibited desire
to extend the hand of forgiveness, all
gives color to the truth of the charges
made. A careful perusal of this article
in connection with previous one on the
same subject must set every fair minded
man to thinking, that possibly the gov
ernor is to blame for great deal of the
dissention that has developed in the
party.

On Christmas day two big ocean lin
ers crossing the Atlantic in opposite di-
rections, the Umbria and Etruria, by
means of the wireless telegraphy learned
that although forty one miles apart and
beyond sight of each other they were
within easy speaking distance, and for a
period of two hours kept up an inter.
change of holiday messages and other
gossip. Here we get glimpse of the
value of this new method of communica-
ton between passing vessels out OF sight
of each other. 1t either of these great
ships had been in peril from some dlsas-
ter it would have been easy for the other
to have gone to her assistance and rem
dered such aid as the circumstances re-
CURED In fact, the wonderful possibili-
ties of Marconi's invention are just be-
ginning to unfold themselves to the

MILWAUKEE loses by death two of her
most prominent citizens during the week
whose regulations extend far beyond the
confines of that city. Judge Eugene Ell

PROGRESS OF JAPAN.
Due Primarily to the Influence Of
the United States.
There Is No Reason Why We should
Not Control the Lions snare OF
the Asintic Empires For
eiEn Trade.

Within 50 years just passed in the
history of Japan, the self-erected
barriers of centuries gone were
broken down by the oIlicIaI visit of
Commodore Perry, OF the United
States navy.
Then following for a period of 20
years, intercourse was grudgingly
permitted by the japanese govern
ment, until at last the spirit Of com.
mercialism and advancement had It's
birth III the brains OF these clever
people and now, at the present time,
they dre a recognized force and pow.
er with the sO-called civilized nations.
When it is considered that within
the last % years these people have
overcome the customs and traditions
of centuries their rise is among the
wonders of the present day.
We learn that the census of 1898
gives them a population of forty.
three and three-quarUer millions of
people, and that there is not the
poverty and suffering existing among
them as with other nations. Simple
in tastes, cleanly in their homes and
habits, they are uniformly a happy
race, filled with a dominant pride Of
country that has helped them to win
the place they now occupy and hold
among other peoples.
Mr.. Otani Kahei, president of the
Yokohama japanese chamber of com.
merce, who is a very strong friend Of
the United States, said in one of his
recent addresses, among other
things:
'While there have been many con-
tributory causes, the most direct and
powerful factor in bringing about
the present prosperous condition of
Japan has been the impartiality and
good feeling shown by the govern
ment aad people of the United States.

gument was advanced that if the re-
publican President would appoint no
Negroes to Office and give a part Of tie
Offices 10 these democrats that the par
~ IN the south would be built up.
This was tried ana proved an utter
failure. Now this same class is advo-
eating, ard il seems with marked sue
cess, that if the powers that be will not
so much as let the cOlOred man look
in the door Of a convention, that by
this means the party will be built up
in the South and the party can lOoK
for some electoral votes in Congress.
This is only another ruse for this same
class to continue IN office. The office
holding classes do not desire Alabama
TO become a republican state and they
well know it. 1t " ould be quite inter
estinS reading if MIR. Roosevelt would
trace the history of many of this office
holding class, democrats and Repub-
licans, see how many Of different
offices, they have occupied since the
emancipation and compare the cleo
lion returns he will find out that but
few efforts, serious efforts, have been
made TO dethrone the democratic
office holders. That the democrats
have been conceded the State offices,
Congressman and Senators from the
south, while the white republicans
have been aided to hold the federal Off
ces except where a democrat thought
there was chance for a democrat to
be appointed by republican Presl'

meeting? IL has been left entirely to

10 the Murray call at his residence
told them that what they needed most

their 'cussin" after they got outside.

REPUBLICAN BARBECUE.
500 Republicans Hear Speeches-A
Big Ok Killed and They All Ate
Representative Perrle Endorsed.

The Republicans of Glen Echo, Md.
helda large meeting and barbecue al
Iones' Park on last Monday evening
Long before the hour for speech max
ing a big OK was killed and roasted by
Mr.. K. Z. Lewis, the manager, aid dis
tributed with hot potatoes, bread and
sauce. Fully 500 hundred Republicans
enjoyed piece of the OK. About 9
o'clock Mr. John Coleman called the
meeting TO order and introduced as its
first speaker w. Calvin Chase. who
addressed the meeting and among
other things said in part: The cOlored
Republicans OF the country have great
problem 10 solve. They have expert
enCe slavery three times. The first was
physical, then political on the part of
the Democratic party and the last is
political and physical oppression on the
part of those who have heretofore
claimed to be their friends. The great
question that is now being considered
by the negro Republicans is, what po-
sitiOn shall they assume in body poll
tic. The Democratic party doeSn't want
him and neither does the Republican
party which he has been supporting
since his Emancipation. The Repub-
lican party doesn't want him to partiC-
ipate in in it, councils: the members
which have grown fat and rich while
the negro Republicans have been the
heWers of wood and the drawers Of
water. In the Stale of Maryland and
especially in this district CongreSsmen
are to be elected. The Colored Re.
publicans are wondering what to do.
He has not been asked participate
in the reelection Of candidates for
Congress, hut he is asked to give those
respective candidates his votes. 1t
should be men with the negro and not
party. If the candidates deserve the
sufferages of the colOTed people let
them vote for them. Representative
Perrie is a good friend TO this oppress-
ed race of people. He Is man 10 ap-
preciate the value and worth OF tine
cOlored people and will do more for
their interest than his opponent. There
are questions that are agltatlHg the
public mind which have supeICeeded
our civil and political Liberties. These
questions are effeCting corporations
and so far as our human rights are con-
Cerned. it is not we'll established that
the negro ever had any or will ever
have any. Mr.. Perrie bells YES IL hu-
man rights, civil and political liberty
At the conclusion OF Mr.. Chase'S ad-
dress Attorney 7. L. Jones spoke o!
the duties of negro Republicans and
their relation to the Republican par
ty. He scorned the theory that Book
er T. Washington was advancing as be-
ing more dangerous than Democratic
oppression and negro disfranchise-
ment. He said what the negro need
ed most, was more confidence in each
other and unison of action. He agreed
with the first speaker and concluded
b, paving an eloquent tribute TO Con-
/ gresham PeTTle.
Mr.. w. P. Mitchell and others spoke
| briefly.

city were present and at the conclu-
sion of speech making those who could
