CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE.

Representative w. S. Cowherd, of
Missouri, was elected chairman of the
democratic congressional committee
without opposition last night. About
so members OF the congressional COM
mittee were present at meeting last
night in the minority room at the Capt.
toll. Mr.. Cowherd was not present.
The question of the election of a secre-
tary to the committee caused consider
able discussion. The present secretary,
Charles A. Edwards, was placed in
nomination by Mr.. Kehoe, of Kentucky,
and seconded by Mr.. Bowers, Of Mis-
sissippi, acting for Mr. Williams, the
minority leader, who was late in ar
irving at the meeting. Opposition to
Secretary Edwards developed. Mr..
Dinsmore, OF Arkansas, moved that the
newly elected chairman be authorized to
appoint secretary to the committee.
Mr.. Thayer, Of Massachusetts,, Endorsed
this motion. 1t was mentioned that
Secretary Edwards had some connection
with the Hearst propaganda for the pres
idency. The friends of Mr.. Edwards
answered this by stating that this fact
ought not to influence the vote either
way, as he maintained this connection
entirely outside his official duties with
the committee. The committee adjourn
ed at IL o'clock without electing Sec
rotary. Many speeches we're made on
the subject, and no other nomination
was made Tor the Office, Senator Car
mack, OF Tennessee, and Representative
Ransdell, of Louisiana, made speeches
against the election of Secretary Ed
wards. The adjournment was voted
for by the friends of Edwards. The
absence of Mr.. Cowherd was given as
reason for postponing action as to
the election of a secretary. The next
meeting will be called by the new
chairman.

M. P. CONFERENCE.

The morning session of the Maryland
Annual Conference, Methodist Protest
ant Church, which is in session in Al
mutt Memorial Church, Baltimore, was
almost entirely consumed yesterday with
addresses bearing upon a proposition
made by the Baltimore Conference OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church for a
union of the two denominations. The
present plan as outlined by the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church is for the Mary
land Conference to memorabilia the
General Conference for the appointment
of commission to confer with a SINH
lar commission appointed by the Cen
eral Conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, just as the Baltimore
Conference has done, and to consider
plans which will aid in bringing about a
union of Methodism throughout the
land. President Little yesterday ap-
pointed a committee TO consider the
question and to report back to the con-
ference before its close the adyisability
of the scheme.
The committee which was recently APP
pointed by the Baltimore Conference,
Methodist Episcopal Church, to present
the matter to the Methodist Protestants,
appeared before the conference yesterday
and made very interesting addresses
along the line of church union.
President Little responded to the
speeches in fraternal but concise man.
ner He said that he would like to see
the churches come together on terms
which would be equally as fair to one de-
nomination as the other. He did not
say anything to give the delegation rea
son to believe that a consolidation would
take place.
A lively discussion is expected to take
place before the conference adjOurns over
a request OF several of its members for
the church to recognize and support the
jackson Grove camp ground as a Metho-
dist Protestant affair. The ground is To-
Gated between Baltimore and Washing
ton

Daniel, of Virginia, who spoke in the be-

springboard of success to a greater ex-
tent than any other man in this republic
had done at a single bound"

public career so late in life with such
success. His relations with his colleagues
in the Senate, said Mr.. Daniel, were
marked by unfalling courtesy. Mr..
Daniel said he did not know Mr.. Hanna
intimately, but had many conferences
and meetings with him. Mr.. Hanna
was to him a man of cheerful and ami
able companionship. He never exhibit

FRIDAY EVENING. APRIL s, 1904.

TT HAS often been suggested by people
of this country that their representatives
in Congress should take heroic measures
toward protecting buyers not only from
beinO swindled but from actual injury
bv enacting laws providing for severe
PENALTIES against the adulteration of any
thing in the way OF food, drink or medi-
cine. England was compelled to take
this step many years ago when 1t was
discovered that roasted horse livers were
ground up and placed in coffee sold IN
paper packages. During the war between
the States it was ascertained that an en-
terprising firm in New York was adul-
terating ground coffee with roasted horse
liver and old coffins. This is a fact and
it was published at the time. The pro-
prietors of the place we're arrested, but
they escaped punishment Today there
is no telling what enters into many con-
cotions sold as preserves and jellies.
Gelatine, glucose or corn syrup is the
basis of many of them, yet they are
palmed off on unsuspecting customers as
strawberry, pineapple, peach, etc. SEN
ator Heyburn struck the keynote on
Wednesday when he said
Twentv-one pure food bills had been
introduced in the Senate but the one
then under consideration WAS the first that
lad been discussed upon the foor. Inc
nhysicians Of the land, as represented by
petitions and letters, in possession OF the
committee. declare that so widespread has
become the aduIteration of drugs that
they can no longer be sure that their
prescriptions will be filled as prescribed
or that the medicine given will not have
an opposite effect from that intended.
The drug lobby is a powerful one, and
ninety per cent of the patent medicines
manufactured is ineffective and bogus,
fifty per cent are deleterious to health
and the large proportion are absolutely
poisonous. Reputable physicians have
testified that a certain popular drink
contained so much chlOroform as to be
dangerous and that deaths have resulted.
Senator Hepburn read from agricul-
tural reports to show that more than
halt of the food products consumed by
the people are adulterated with injurious
ingredients. Honey, jelly, and other
ordinary products, bestowed, were often
merely glucose colored and favored. He
declared that it should be made a crime
to keep meats in cold storage for several
wears.

MANY Disfranchised.

By reason of an oversight by the re
cent legislature of this State, it is likely
that from two to three thousand persons
will be unable to vote in the Presi-
dental election of November next.
The legislature failed to enact a special
law providing a method whereby those
becoming of age between February
aud the date OF election can pay their
poll taxes. As things now stand the
State officials are not authorized to re-
ceive poll taxes from other than per-
sons of legal voting age. The attorney
general foresaw this difficulty while the
legislature was in session, and urged
that some law be enacted, but in the
great pressure Of other business this
matter was overlooked, 1t is possible
that the trouble may be remedied by
resort to the courts.

Slemp Arraigned.

The republicans ofthe Ninth Virginia
district held "a convention in Bristol,
Va, yesterday to elect two delegates to
the republican national convention and
also to nominate candidate for district
elector. David F. Bailey, of Bristol, was
made permanent chairman, and W. P.
Pendleton, of Tazewell, secretary. There
we're nearly 200 delegates present from
the fifteen counties. State Senator j. @.
Noel, of Lee county, was nominated for
district elector without opposition.
The votes of the convention were cast
for District Chairman Stuart F. Lindsey,
of Bristol Col. j. S. Browning, of Taze-
we'll, and James d. Honaker, of Bland
county, for delegates to the national con-
vention. The first ballot showed that
each of the three candidates had major
ity of the total vote of the convention. Mr..
Lindsey called the attention of the con-
vention to the absurdity of the result,
but motion was promptly put and car
ried to make the election of Browning
and Honaker, the two leading candidates,
unanimous.
Mr.. Lindsay then made briefspeech,
charging tickery to defeat him, and in
a most emphatic manner rendered his
resignation as chairman of the district
committee, a position which he had held
for four years. Mr.. Lindsey charges
Congressman Slemp with ingratitude in
not having given him Orr. Lindsey a
single vote from the county of Wise in
the race for delegate. Mr.. Slemp is
likely to have fresh troubles of a serious
character on his hands.
Col. J. S. Browning and other speak
ers denounced in most bitter terms the
Angew-Allen party machine in eastern
Virginia, and said that as long as that
faction ruled in the party the democrats
would control the State.
Following resolutions indorsing Roose-
welt and Slemp, a resolution was adopted
denouncing the Agnew-Allen organiza-
ton.
G. S. Gillespie, Of Pulaski, was in
dorsed for national committeeman, and
the convention also Endorsed Senator
Stephen B. Elkins, of West Virginia, for
Vice President.

A PRIEST in an address in Washing
ton yesterday said the Catholic Church
was the most potent institution to curb
the negro sud make good citizen out
of him. The discipline Of the church
with its spiritual guidance would, he
said, keep members of the race from
committing crimes which bring on lynch
ings and race wars. The bowling color
ed preachers, he averred, are impotent
to evolve the colored race into quiet
and respected citizens. There are now
about 200, 900 colored people in the COM
munion of the church, and there are but
few instances of breaches of the peace
among them. Macaulay in his History of
England says that had it not been for
the influence of the Catholic Church
when the bsrbarians broke up the Roman
empire the horde would have overrun
Europe. The influence of the church
checked them and kept in restraint a
dangerous and numerous class. The
church may be destined to act similar
part with the negro.
