GREAT GATHERING OF METHoDIsTs.

A REMARKABLE religious gathering is that
n Of the Ecumenieal Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church Of the World now be-
ing held at Toronto Canada. Five hundred dele
gates are there from seventeen different eoun-
tries and it is asserted that they represent 9000
600 Methodist communicates with some 500OOOOO
adherents under Methodist influences.
No other Protestant denomination has shown
more remarkable growth than the Methodsts,
denomination that had its beginning in this coun-
try in Delaware
During an address before the conference Dr.
H. X Carroll pointed out that the increase in the
members of the Methodist Church during the past
decade has been fifteen per cent. as compared with
80 per cent for the decade ending in 1891, which
shows a falling off in new members, but this is
relative denomination that can show an in
crease Of more than 100000 members during ten
years is in rather nourishing condition.
One Of the noted circumstances of the confer
ence was the address Of President Lewis of the
Methodist Protestant Church in which he pleaded
for union of all Methodist bodies and for closer
cooperation. There are seventeen different re-
ligious bodies which now bear the Methodist name
The remarks of President Lewis we're in line with
the movement for closer communion between Pro-
testant bodies, a movement that is spreading
throughout the religious world. Mueh more eifec-
tive would the work of the Methodists be if they
we're united and compact body such as Presiden,
Lewis has suggested.

OUR MANUFACTURERS.


DOUBTLESS the letter of Mr. George B. Mil
- Ter, printed in The Journal, with reference
TO proposed manufacturers association in this
city and to include manufacturers in other parts
of the state, will be thoughtfully considered by
our manufacturers who must have been Impress
ed with the idea that they should take more
active and direct interest in the affairs of the city
as they relate to manufacturing.
To some manufacturers the need of an organ
ization was made plain recently during the agi-
tation over the increase in the anufaoturers' tax
movement was started at that time by some
Of the manufacturers to form an association
The Journal thought that possibly the manufac-
turers could work in connection with the Board OF
Trade as most of them are probably members Of
the Board. If the manufacturers would take a
more earnest interest in the doings of the Board,
and manifest such interest by attendance at the
meetings the Board would be much stronger than
it is at present.
However the mere fact that we have a Board
of Trade need not prevent the formation of
Manufacturers Association, just as we have a
Mercantile Association. On many questions all
these bodies could work together for the common
good of tie city.
= Il should be remembered that the manufactur-
ers form the backbone of the industrial life of the
CITY, and their interests should be carefully con-
sdered in all matters pertaining to legislation
The state has limited sources of revenue and
whenever III is proposed 10 increase the revenues
OF the state, the city is expected TO supply the
largest percentage of the increased revenue want
ed. The manufacturers therefore are liable to ad-
ditional taxes or changes in the taxation laws
which may not please them. Obviously IL the city
wishes to prosper and to attract new industries
it is necessary that the industries here be in
satisfactory condition. But after all the ques-
tion is one that the manufacturers themselves
must take hold of.
1t is really good thing for the various branches
of industry and business in the state to be linked
together. Some time ago a movement was started
for the bankers of the state to form associa-
tion, but nothing, so far we know, has been
done definitely There many matters in which
the interest of the bankers are mutual, and an
organization would help them.
The Journal would like TO see the manufactur-
ers, bankers and commercial classes of various
kinds organized for out of such organization could
come and should come a concerted movement for
the progress of the city and state.

as the express business advisable, despite the
many protests that have been heard against the
exactions of the monopoly
1t will be generally believed that the commits
sioners have pursued the right course. One of
them advocated the regulation of the express
business by the Government, and this will doubt
less be done. The companies should not be forced
out of business-not for the present at least.
The commissioners perhaps thought that even
IL they did advise Congress TO do away with the
companies and compel the railroads to include the
express business as a part of the regular trans
portation traffic Congress would pay little at
tention to such a request. better way to get
at the express companies is by means of the par
cells post, but certain influences at Washington
seem to have prevented, temporarily at least, the
establishment Of the parcels post. 1t is generally
believed that the express companies are those in
terests and if So il is plain that any effort to have
the companies abolished would be almost useless
If they can hold up the parcels post, they can
certainly prevent their own abolition.

A GOOD INSTITUTION.

A CcORDING to reports received at the meet
\ ing of the directors OF the Young Mems
Christian Association, promising year is before
the organization which offers so many opportuni-
ties to the young men of the city for recreation,
betterment and education.
The association is an institution Of which the
city may justly feel proud, and it is pleasing to
note that the directors as energetic as ever
in guiding the practical work that il is doing.
Hundreds of young men in the city do not take
advantage of the opportunities offered by the
Association, but they should do The educa-
tional features are highly valuable. In fashion,
the association is il there college in the
city Instruction can be obtained on almost any
topic New courses are being added. Much inter-
est is shown in the athletic department which is
but a means TO an end. The social features are
excellent and altogether about the association is
air which should appeal to the young men of
the city and especially to those who are strangers
and come here to work.

BEEFY ANKLES.

Boston Globe.
Alfred Tennyson Dickens from IA
away Australia plunges Boston fem
ininity into gloom by observing tina
in respect to ankles "the beefy sor
greatly outnumber those graceful ap
pendages that linger so much longe
in mans memory" This is one o
the effects OF the recent rainy weather
and is not to be taken too seriously
Besides, so far as our Observation
goes, the criticism is grossly exag
gerated, not to say unfounded. MI
Dickens must have poor vision or per
haps he spent all his time in the shop
ping district where TO be frank, TIL
display of ankles is very prosaic
Our women who are striving to b
beautiful Of course will feel downcaa
over the unartistic picture that MI
Dickens frames Our ladies are ad
customed to reduce their weight or ir
crease their avoirdupois as the cad
may be, TO become more Venuslike, bd
nobody yet has ever advertised al
ankle reducing emporium, nor does
seem possible that such an establish
ment could operate to advantagl
Probably this Dickens man, a perfel
Shylock on fashion, would suggel
that a pound of flesh be taken froI

A SOCIALIST REPLY.

Editor of THE EVENING JOUR-
NAL;-Your editorial of the 5th inst.
entitled Socialism" is very good in
part, and we most heartily agree, that
Political Economy should be taught
in p15lic schools" but only according
to pure Democratic ethics. the theme
Of the editorial seems to be THE CO.
Operative Commonwealth"
Your explanation of the co-opera-
tive commonwealth is not according
to the ideals. or to the interest Of the
great toiling masses, from which
viewpoint Socialists draw all their
conclusions. You could hardly expect
the small minority. genteel, highly
educated plutocratic beings who live
at ease from the sweat and blood lost
by the great majority of the toiling
masses in their long hours of unceas-
ing labor to see and understand the
cooperative commonwealth as Social
lists do.
The statement in the editorial seems
to carry the conviction: THAT il
would be a crime for all the people
to own what all the people produce,
or better still from a Socialist view
point; That the majority shall own
what the majority produce"
Now, Mr.. Editor, will you kindly
explain to the people of Wilmington
in future editorial, whether the
ethics Of science, philosophy, religion
or economics would be overthrown
contradicted OF annihilated by all the
people owning what all the people
produce. and must have to live, in.
stead of a self choice and classed few
as at present?
Next. the editorial gives the impres.
sion THAT it would be horrible fol
such a body as the present City
Council to run the corporations; such
as, the Harlan and Hollingswortt
Corporation"
We agree with Mr.. Editor, for such
would surely be the case, but we car
positively state that such a City Coun
ell as the present one would never b,
put in office by Socialists.
How many members Of the presen'
City Council signed their own resig
nation before going into Office ant
handed them to the rank and file. or a
least went into Office, subject to recall
We guarantee, not one, so it is rath
er out of gear to couple such Cit.
Council as the present with managing
corporations, when the corporation
manage them.
The editorial states: "It (Thr
CounciD, would tell every individua
what work he should perform"
Mr.. Editor, It seems absurd and ri
diculous that anti-Socialists Away
use the evils existing at present u
explain to the public what Socialism
might be, and term this the "oblitera
ton OF individuality"
If, Mr.. Editor had ever worked 70
the corporations OF this or any othe
city, under the bosses who are con
trolling individuals, and must work Z
the interest of said corporations
which means: THAT the less he pay
the men the more there is for the cor
porations, and first of all has to be
this kind and considerate boss for
Job by which he only can live, an
that this working man works nine Z
fourteen hours out OF twenty-foui
