The sentiment of the American
public knows no bounds. They chose
any time or place to perform any
ceremonies which may appeal to
their fads or fancies. - The
lynching of Negroes by white men
is prevalent, yet the lynching Of
white men by white men has proven
that this lawlessness Is not born Of
prejudice alone, but out of custom
practiced by these public execu-
TONERS, who disregard the written
laws of the land and hold justice as q
mockery.

BY FRANKLIN r. JOHNSON.
. Baltimore.-W When the general confer

meets in Minneapolis next May the
question of the status of the colored
membership of the denomination may
be discussed at length. This discus
sion may take shape in measures for
the increasing of the influence of the
colored constituency. autonomy or seq
regation.
Within the past eighteen months
three things have been discussed at
considerable length by leading white
and colored Methodist clergymen. Our
race has at present missionary bish-
op. DR.. l. B. Scott. for the work in
Africa and a number of officials whose
work is the partial oversight Of the
twenty-one conferences among our peoI
pie in this country.
These officials are for the most part
products of the schools which the de-
nomination has maintained for the race
since the civil war and are not openly
committed to either segregation or au-
tonomy. with but one exception. This
exception is Bishop Scott. who limited
at possible autonomy in a widely read
article in one Of the UNCONVENTIONAL
publications some months ago. Since
then Bishop David 81. Moore has sug-
gested that colored men be elected to
the bishopric and given oversight Of
the colored conferences.
