MI BISHOPS WOULD UNITE


Dies MONIES, Ia, May q -The
board of bishops of the M. E.
church, at its session here last Sat
urday, voted to accept the two de.
nominations. The response that is
expected to be made by the M. +.
church South will be one of the
leading topics for discussion and
action at the general conference in
May. Iu adopting the resolution
favoring unifcation. the bishops
made the following declaration
I've are convinced of the essen
tial unity of the two great Method
isms in doctrine in life. and that
their essential unity must i'll due
season express itself in outward and
organic form. Without presuming
to pronounce upon the terms of the
union we declare ourselves earnestly
in favor of the organic union of The
M. E, church South and such other
Methodist bodies as may share our
common faith and experience.
Moreover, we declare ourselves
in favor of such a union OH terms
that shall provide an ample and
brotherly protection for any minor,
ity."
These two denomination have
existed since 1874, when split
occurred over the slavery question.
The proposed union means that
provision will have TO be made for
colored membership of the M. E.
church South, which set them
aside in 1870 into what is known
as the Colored M. E. church The
M. E. church has 800, 200 colored
members. With growth Of intelli-
gence in the race has come demand
for more recognition in the church.
This has taken shape III a demand
that colored man be chosen as a
bishop for colored conferences For
the past FIVE general conferences
colored ministers have been in the
race for the bishopric. but none has
been elected save DR.. I. B. Scott,
who was chosen missionary bishop
for West Africa. The plans for re-
uniting the two branches of Meth
odism contemplate creation of four
quadrennial conferences, one of
which will contain the colored
membership of the NJ. E. church.
This would give the race its own
bishops. as we'll as control of the
UNCONVENTIONAL interests affecting
the Negro.

A WOMANLY PROTEST
VALLEJO NEWS. MAY 10.


Several of the best known colored
women from The west end of Caro-
lima and Capitol streets called at the
News Office to-day to voice their
protest at the manner i'll which an
evening paper last night handled
story concerning the collapse of the
supports under residence at the
foot of Capitol street. The women
were justly offended at the term
darktown as applied to that section
of the city in which THEY reside
aud contend that they should not
be subjected to such treatment
One of the women said
I'VE do not think that it is right
that a paper should make such a
reference TO the neighborhood in
which we reside. We have estab-
lished homes which for cleanliness
and general arrangements compare
favorably with any in Vallejo We
mind our own business and in every
respect endeavor to be desirable
residents of the community, spend
ing our money here, and trying to
assist in development of the city.
"Why we should be subjected to
continual slurs is something that
we cannot understand. Because
there is all element in our race that
at times gets into trouble is no
reason why all the colored people
should suffer for the faults of few.
To ridicule and deride white people
for the acts of the rougher element
of their race would be the height of
foolishness, and it certainly is not
fair for the colored people Of Vallejo
to have TO stand for slurring articles
in newspapers. We simply ask for
what is just and fair. and hope that
in the future our feelings will be
considered when articles concerning
colored people or their section of
the city are being written"
Many of the colored people of
Vallejo are among our most thrifty
residents, owning homes and trying
to better their stations in life, and
they should be encouraged instead
of being Inundated. The action of
the colored women in Offering their
services 10 handle the punch and
care for the cloak room at the recent
charity ball is something for which
they should be warmly commended.

THOMPSON AS MAYOR ht


VIM. Hale Thompson will prove to
be the best mayor Chicago ever had.
I would have hoped the same had
either Sweitzer or Stedman been
elected. The point is that any who
want Chicago to go ahead in big
human way want whatever party or
individual is in power to give to the
people the very best they have in the
shop.
These is less chance for any mayor
to make good as a partisan than as
non-partisan. There s less oppor-
tunity when a mayor is mayor for
party than when he realizes that he is
mayor for all Of the people. AS
non-partisan he can depend upon the
hearty cooperation of all patriotic
citizens, while as a partisan he must
depend upon his own party for assist
