METHODISTS IN CONFERENCE.
Am Iavltatloa f U WUI Horn Crt
BrMU,
Washington, D. C, March 29.
Tbe Weslejan Femalelnstitute
was to have been discussed at to
day's session of the Baltimore
Conference of the Methodist
F.nisoonal Church. South. but
consideration was postponed till
to-morrow. ' " '
Rev. S. G. Ferguson, of Fred
ericksburg, Va, conducted the
opening devotional exercises. ,
A report in the nature of an
overture from the M. E. Church,
North, suggesting that -the two
great-branches of the 'Methodist
Episcopal Church joins hands
in temperance work, was received
and referred to tbe temperance
committee. '
The overture suggested the
appointment of a committee of
seven by the Northern' conting
ent to meet a similar committee
from the religious bodies - in the
State of Maryland, and that these
committees shall issue a call for a
convention of the Christian peo
ple of the State in the interest
of the suppression of the liquor
traffic.
The report was signed by
Messrs. A. J. Gil). J. C. Nichol
son R.-M. Moore, J. F. Heisie,
T. P. Frost, W. G. Cassard and
G. C. Bacon.
Bishop Hurst, of the American
'University, was introduced and
made a short speech, assuring the
conference that it bad the sym
pathy of the entire Northern
church.
Two ministers were introduced
into the order of the elders, name
ly, F. B. Ordick and T. B. Atkins.
The even tenor of the transac
tion or business was disturbed by
airuuexpccted incident.
Tbe question had come up of
accepting an invitation to the
White House, the President hav
ing, through Secretary Thurber,
signified that it would be his pleas
tire to receive the members of
the conference, their wives and
daughters, at 1 o'clock to-morrow.
Rev. J. P. Hyde had made the
announcement and the conven
tion was on the point of voting
to accent the invitation, when
' Rev. John W. Tongue rose and
asked to be heard. He-objectea
trt croinir tn the White House to
r
tiav their resnects to the
dent Although he expressed
himself in clear and strong words
it did not appear that Mr. Tongue
had anything personal against
Mr. Cleveland, but he urged that
it would be no disrespect to tne
President if the conference
should refuse to ero to see him
Ha reminded the audience that
, consistency was a jewel, and that
when the conference met in
Washington in 1875 during Pre
sident Grant's administration the
only time before this the con
ference had met here, by a deli
berate vote they bad refused to
their resrects to
i j
JiAn. Orant.
Mr. Tongue paid an eloquent
t.rihnta ,4aa a' Southern man to
the soil and the manner born,
cnoairSncr tn Southern men. to
the character of . Gen. Grant,
whose magnanimity to our great
captain, Robert' E. Lee, will
ever hold his name bright and
dear to the South."- Bu; if the
conference would not go to see
Gen. Grant why should it go to
see Mr. Cleveland? It might be
said circumstances altered cases,
but they never altered principles.
If the conference was so care
ful not to seem to go into politics
in 1875, why should it now be so
quick to depart from its chosen
path? - ' ' '
Almost before Mr. Tongue had
resumed his seat half a dozen
members were up and crying for
. recognizition, and the entire con;
ference was shouting Question.
Rev R. S. Ferguson, of Freder
icksburg, Va., shouted, "I was
in the Confederate army, but 1
regret Brother Tongue's making
Mr. Hvde anU
dUUW - aaavvvws m
f Armstrong both made
speeches vigorously criticising
M r. Tnnini's utterance.
The invitation was accepted
by a rising vote.

Public Roads in Wayne County.
'Thoi-olc nnthinc nf more im-
portanceto our people than good
public roads; and few things that
receive so little attention. Good
roads make us live nearer to
market What a saving of horse
power and vehicles as well as
the comfort of riding on a level
road. But to the point; the Board
of County Commissioners, two
vp.ars asro started out with a plan
and have tried to push it, that
would have been a great bless
insr to-Wavne county if it had
met with more encouragement
from the masses of the people
Thaobiect lesson was to com
mence at the Uounty seat worn
all roads for a radius of 4 miles,
then extend each of these roads
to the county line until ail lead
ing roads in the county were
widened, graded and piacea in i
condition to be kept well drained
- . . . .
Tt was intended that all section
road forces would not only con
tinno tn unrk their roads but
lwnnld after the roads were well
worked Keep tnem in guou wu-
Hition. In this we have been
mistaken. Instead of working
in coniunction with us. when we
Dlaced a road in nice oraer, mey
: .. . -
KMtned to think the plan was to
iroon it nn bv convict labor, con
sequently when the roads needed
attention again, tnosewnose piowe
it. vbaa tn work called on the com-
missiones to have the work gone.
Appeals come from any quarters
that "our roaas neea wont, iww
the object of this article is Just
this? nnlesa the supervisors and
road overseers stand by us, it
ni Ka ahanlntalv necessary to
abandon the matter altogether
and ask the Judges of our bu-
perior courts to sentence no
more convicts to work the public
mads. Much eood ana perma-
nont work has been done, but
the misconception of the work
has been done, nas causu
harm to the svstem. of : public
road work in Wayne county. -
Without a marked cnange in
this RAntimenL it will be unwise
to continue longer on this line of
operation.

the farmers of this section can and aggregated nearly 7,800,000

Why has the increase in the price
of silver had more effect on cot-
ton than the increase in the prico
of some other things? .
n,,rnhA noet cirtir rtavft a
number of railroad stocks nave
increased in value. The argu
ment would be equally good if it
were urged mat tne v rise in me
value of railroad stocks had in
creased the value of cotton. As
both hapoened during the same
time, therefore the - increase in
the value of railroad stocks was
what really caused the increase
in the value of cotton. For this
reason farmers, then, should
avor hitrh freight rates and ex
orbitant charges -for transpor
tation cenerallv so that railroad
stocks might further increase in
value with the expectation or a
similar increase in cotton.
Tbe truth is that business is be
ginning to revive. Gold ship
ments have ceased as a result oi
the effective effort to stop eel J
exports by the Democratic admin
istration, lienerai conndence is
rapidly returning. Long before
next year's campaigu this coun
try will be enjoying tne result oi
its usual prosperity, and the
howling of those who, upon the
pretext of favoring bimetallism
are really seeking to bring the
country to a single silver stand
ard, silver monometallism, win
not longer be able to check busi
ness andenterprise,
The improvement in the price
of cotton is due partly to specu-
ation and partly to tne prospect
of a decrease in cotton acreage.
The silver theory will not work
as any explanation oi tne rise in
cotton,
The theory that cotton and sil
ver ero up and down together Is
contrary to both reason and ex
perience. Some months ago
Mr. Henry L. Nelson,, pubiisbed
an article showing that in the
course of the last thirty years
the Drices of farm products and
silver have borne no relation to
each other and frequently have
moved in opposite directions, in
reference to cotton, Mr. Nelson
makes the following accurate
an A interesting statement:

Prom 1879 to 1890 the price
