REV. AlnswoRrA FOR sIsHoPRIc
Distinguished Georgia Minister May
Be Promoted.

Owing to the fact that FIVE bishops
have died since the last meeting OF
the general conference. two are now
i'll and another is very old, it is
thought that when the general con
ference meets next year, seven or
eight new bishops will have to be
elected. This has revived the sugges-
tion that DR. Ainsworth, Of Savannah,
be offered for the bishopric.
Ii is the belief of his friends that
DR.. Ainsworth will some day be elect
ed bishop. 1t may be that his friends
will decide next year to urge his
claims at once He is considered by
all odds the strongest young man in
the Georgia ministry. He is eloquent,
forceful, tactful and brilliant.
DR.. Ainsworth is older than Bishop
Galloway was when he was elected
bishop. He is now pastor OF Wesie-
van Memorial church of Savannah,
serving his last year at that church
according to the rules of the church.
He is frequently mentioned as the
next president of Wesleyan Female
College.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK
 QUITE SATISFACTORY
Why the Imports Are Exceeding the
 Exports.

New York, Sept. 24.-Dun tOmOr- row will say:
 While there are numerous bad spots in the business situation they are not sufficient to change the gen. orally cheerful and, in some respects, brilliant outlook. The movement in iron and steel is tremendous, re- sulting in instances of premiums paid for prompt delivery.
 The foreign trade is unsatisfac- tory in view of the decreased eX- ports and increased imports. but it should not be overlooked that the former is the result in part of the more rapid advance in prices here than abroad. while the big imports testify to the increased spending ca pacity of our people. More New England manufacturers have been op- erating in leather this week and the volume of business is quite large though made up of small quantities. Prices on hides show further firm ness and advances have already been scored in certain varieties.

 Arizona deserves great praise for the money you are expending in pro- viding an education for Mexican chill dren. In all this southwest country that work is taken up in the towns and cities with spirit which is most commendable. We spend money in the Philippines to lift up depressed race, and the same thing is done by the territories of Arizona and New Mexico. and by the states of Colorado and Texas. Of course, all the states spend much money for the education of the children of parents who are not and possibly never will become citi- Zens.
