LIBERAL NEW YORK METHOD.
lSTS.

The more liberal elements among
the New York Methodists have for
some time been agitating the propo-
sition to raise the ban placed by the
Book of Discipline on dancing, card
playing and the visiting OF theaters.
They have long recognized that the
%puritanical strictness of that prohibit
tory rule is no longer in harmony
with the advanced spirit of tolerance
prevailing all Christian churches. All
previous efforts to bring about a modi.
hcation Of that rule we're rendered
futile by the opposition of the ortho-
dox elements. The agitation has
been continued, however, and It
is believed, that at the conferences
to be held here this month strong
pressure will be brought to bear, to
have dancing, card playing and
theater going among the forms Of
amusement to be avoided by the faith
full. The principal reason urged
against the prohibitive rule is, that
it cannot easily be enforced.

FAIRNESS AND JUSTICE IN POLL

The Journal believes there is an ele-

From the beginning Of the primar.

HUSTON FOR CONGRESS.

While there is apparently a division
of sentiment in Washington county be
tween Herman and Harris the reaI
candidate from that county will be
Hon. s. b. Huston.
Mr.. Huston does not want the Off.
ce but his friends have insisted that
he enter the field and quietly await
events, In the last convention az
Eugene a year ago he was against
Hermann.
Mr.. Huston is a man Of fine char.
acter, and was the choice of the
Marion county men for chairman OF
the convention at Eugene.
He is a nan of such fairness that
when chairman Brownell left the con.
vention hall he turned It over to Mr..
Huston to administer, knowing he
would take no unfair advantage of
his absent opponent.
In mentioning these matters about
the different candidates for congress,

bed exhausted and suffering to such
an extent that sleep was impossible.
Every morning he forced himself with
heroic resolution to resume his work.
But the days went by without bringing
him any relief, until It became clear
that even his remarkable will power
could not long sustain such fearful
odds. His good wife became alarmed
and both began to look eagerly for
assistance. They found 1t at last by
following the advice Of a s]torekeeper
and a French weaver whose sympa-
thies had been aroused.
Told in his own way, Mr.. Hickey's
experience was as follows: MY
trouble, l think, came from the strong
draught Of cold air that played about
feet at my six looms. One foot
swelled just above the ankle, and the
pain became something terrible. /
