METHODIST ADJUSTMENTS.

VA ITHOUT ABANDONING they say, the his
w toric attitude of their church upon the
question of worldly amusements, the Methodist
bishops, in their address to the General Confer
ence at Baltimore, have recommended that the
clause on that subject in the discipline be modi-
fed. Mention of tile specific amusements, such
as dancing playing at games of chance, attending
theatres horse races and circuses if the bishops
address is approved, is to be omitted from the
discipline.
In that event the members of the church would
be permitted to exercise their own discretion as
to whether their own indulgence in these special
amusements is harmful.
The result would be that those who wanted 10
dance or play cards or go to the theatre would do
so thoroughly convinced in their own minds that
such things did not work injury to their souls.
To make pleasures a question of individual
conscience would no doubt gently shock those
old-time leaders of the church, especially in the
country districts, who have the old-fashioned no.
ton of frowning upon worldly pleasures" of this
sort Many of them have believed that the
strength of the church is in the rgdty of its dis
cpne as to these rules. But in the cities, or in
many of the larger of them, these pleasures have
been ndulged in by persons who are considered
good Methodsts.
The bishops may believe it better to omit GER
tain parts Of the discipline or to modify them
when they are so often needed more in the
breach than in the observance.

LOOKING AT HIGH PRICES.

A T A conference in New York of leading
\ railway managers of the country, a pro-
posal for a general advance Of freight charges
was considered. Recently passenger rates have
been increased in New Jersey. Privileges OF
lower fares by means OF excursion tickets are cur
tailed.
The companies have evidently determined to
advance the rates in order to meet the losses sus
tained by the fallnS off in traffic. They have the
upper hand and propose to make the consumer
that is the patron of the road pay in the end Cor
the lull in business.
There seems to be no way by which the pro-
posed increased charges can be prevented. OF
course the shippers believe that the rates are al
ready sufficiently high.
The proposed action of the railroad companies
may be an indication of what is to happen when
industry resumes. There may be an era Of higher
prices. If the trusts and the railroad companies
decide to make up their losses when business
again becomes brisk by a general advance Of
prices, we shall have general scale of charges
that will be higher than the high-water mark
reached during the boom year or so ago. And
then another business reaction would not be far
away.

REApPo1NrMENr OF DIR. HOWELL.

NJ AYOR WILSON is to be congratulated
4 upon his reappointment of DR.. Harrison
w. Howell as a member of the Health Board Of
the city. Rumors were current that the mayor
proposed to refuse reappointment to any of the
members of the board but the reports were circu-
lated with an idea of injuring the mayor. If 1T
tentiulr to duty counts for anything in our mu-
ncipal service, Dr. Howell was clearly entitled
TO reappointment.
Some changes have been made in the executive
staff of the Board of Health. 1t appears to be the
notion among those who rule our city politics
that these positions are dependent upon the
amount and kind of political work that their
holders do This is a wrong idea that will be
repudiated sooner or later in this city. The new
board, as appointed by the mayor, is composed cf
we'll equipped men, and will no doubt be effici
in its service.

DELAWARE AT DENVER.

A MoNG the opponents OF Mr.. BRYAN
n throughout the country there seems to be
a difference of opinion as to whether he VIII De
nominated. That Mir. Bryan has steadily lost
ground during the last few weeks is the Dehei OF
some of them They hold that the attitude OF
many of the delegates from the South is doubtful
They point out that those States which have late-
" instructed for Bryan are not enthusiastic. Con-
fdent are they that had the anti-Bryan agitation
started earlier Man it did, the defeat OF the Nc
braskan for the nomination would have been as
sured This is the view taken by some OF the
ardent ant-Bryan men.
ON the other hand. some of those who are just
as desrous to see Bryan defeated believe tl@t
nothing can prevent his nomination at Denver
The Brooklyn Eagle, for example, which has al
ways been strongly opposed to Bryan, takes tins
pessimistic vieV from the standpoint OF the anti
Bryan men. 1t believes that Bryan is not only
near the nomination, according to the delegates
who have been actually instructed Tor HIM, pat
il also believes that many of the uninstructcd
delegates will go to Bryan.
Between these conflicting opinions the senti-
ment seems to be growing that the chances Tor
the nomination of Judge Gray are improving.
The anti-Bryan men admit that the judge would
make a good candidate for the party Ills Dcla-
ware followers have been devoted to him, and
everything considered they have made remark
able headway. That the judge may finally be
taken as the compromise candidate is believed by
many SnpNlA uiNlC bN d WldhbiN a. L~iAN~l 'lie
were it to develop that Bryan could control the
convention.
Governor Johnson has been the avowed oppon-
ent of Bryan. On the surface it is fight be-
tween Johnson and Bryan. Judge Gray himself
has kept absolutely out Of it. The make up Of
the Delaware delegates to Denver shows clearly
that they are not with Johnson and are not part
of the general movement to defeat Bryan. There
fore it may be that Gray will be agreed upon
should Bryan be forced to drop out, for Bryan
can have no objection to Judge Gray on the score
that the judge has been fighting him.

WATER COMPANY DEAL

THE resolution of the civic committee of the
a Board of Trade adopted unanimously,
shows how the representatives of large and in
fluential bod of citizens regard the negotiations
that have been going on as to the proposed deal
with the Delaware Water Company--a deal, we
may add, which, according to the evidence, ap-
pears to have been initiated by the city
Discussing this question in public has surely
proved advantageous. A solution Of the prob
lem no doubt will be found that will be satisfac-
tory to all. 1t is clearly evident however that
our franchises should not be given away to the
water company, or to any other company, unless
the city receives fair bargain in return.
