The Chewaucan Post of Paisley, Lake county, is entitled to take the linen from the Bhrub. It Bays of its town: "In. this community of proba bly a thousand souls there are but four members of the church, only four." It then goes on to praise the high moral status of that community and attacks the Bible itself, to show that the Paisley article of self con stituted morality and religion ahead of the Christian faith because there are claimed errors in the Gos pel according to Matthew. Accord ing to the Post s article and judging from its merit and the extolled vir tues of its citizens, if the Plaixdeal- E had only two chances, Paisley or hell, we would live in hell and rent out Paisley. The writer remembers a town in Western Missouri named Lib eral There was a provision in the deed conveying every lot that the premises should never be used for church or religious purposes and if religious services were held on the lot it should revert back to the origi nal grantor, now .Liberal grew up to be a moral community of- 2500 souls and the place was so moral and virtuous that the citizens did not know the meaning of the words lust or vice and there was no single breach m . 1 or tne moral coae Because tnere was no code to break. It was a wide open town warranted not to rip, r av al, tear or run down at the heel, and it was doubtless all that it claimed to be by and for its citizenship accord ing to the view taken from their standpoint, but to an outsider it was a cesspool of corruption and it finally became such a stench in the '' nostrils of the citizenship enveloped in the im moral effluvia, that the free thinking moguls petitioned the courts to set aside the provision in the various deeds to real, estate as against pub lic policy and the best interest of the citizens and State of Missouri. It was done and churches now abound In that town.. If any man wants to see hell in its grandest light all he has to do is to locate in a town desti tute of, churches or church teaching; and to advertise Paisley as a great moral community of one thousand souls and enty four church' members is to advertise the place as a .place for progressive, enterprising men and their families to avoid as they would a pestilence.

Methodist General Conference. The committee having in charge the consideration of the proposed change in the church rules in refer ence to dancing, cardplaying theater going, has decided against recom mending any change by a vote of 58 to 43. This result was reached only after a vigorous and prolonged cofr test in the committee meeting. A minority report, presented by mem bers of the committee who favor a more liberal construction of these rules will be offered before the con ference. It is expected that the sub mission of these two reports to the general body will be the signal for the most spirited struggle that will occur on the floor during the present conference.

Much of the time bof 'U' the opening if the Republican National Con veil ion m Chicago next month will be devoted v the leaders of the ti.irtv to efforts to i each an aum-menl niton just what the platform of the party shall be, especial ly with respect to the Tariff and reciproc- ty. ltepea ed conferenc s have Immm neld heio since the adjournment o. Con jress. and the combined wisdom of the foremost men of the party has beei brought to bear upon the problems ol the hour. The interesting feature of these conferences was the disclosure that there are no importan' differences ot opinion noon the main ixiiuts in the cardinal principles of Protection as an nnuiiceil bv the Keimbliean party, and the onlv differences which ari.-e are ovei the phraseology. That this is imjiort :mt. nevertheless, is shown bv the faci that home of the foremost men of th p.trtv differ in respect to ttie precise language to be emploed A studv of the national platforms of dl the parties covering a period of halt . century, will show that there has ai wn been ton much lasitv and earete-s in the enunciation of principle- It is time for the Republican party to take a stand on the-c miIii'm-Is. vital as they are to national well being. Among the most important decl.ira- tions of party faith that will be made at Chicago, those ertainini! to Protection and reciprocity will be foremost. An I upright and unmistakable staml on thes- questions by the Republican party will comiel the Democratic iwirty to do like-1 wise, and we shall not have a rep'tilion of the shifting, halting pronouncement!- of the Free-Trnde pirty. which have been exhibited in different national con- Extermination Richardson Rosebure. Ore vemions f-ir f-.riy years. The fact is that the De i , ratic party h is tried al most every tne ie known to th rhetoric of polities and piatiorm declarations, to find some substantial grounds for oppos ing Protection, and al the same time to cover up the proposed assault uon this essential principle of American economic and iudu-trial progress. The Democratic party will try new tactics this ear. The party will co er ti i;r- r- m . dcchiraiiniis f.ivnr.i.lc to '-Ttnff n vis i n," j i-i a i h i m i! a-t nu m-.i its Free Tinde de.-io w th do- l.iratiun i about a "Tariff for revenue only." and similar dark and niysteriousaffirinations which may mean anything which the proponents of the doctrine consent to have it mean. The republican conferences here the past week have developed that there is no difference of opinion of a subitatial character among the leaders on the plat form declarations. Tho Tariff issue will, be met with an emphatic, stand for the principles of Protection. In 1883, after a Ioiik period of Republican domination in national adults and long-life of a Pro tective ariff, the party, though its ad ministration in legislative and executive departments, msde n revision of the Tariff and the party revised the Tariff in 1890 and aain in 1897. The latter revi sion was forced by the utter and con spicuous failure of a Democratic Tariff act to meet the needs of tho country, but which had been demoralizing to American industries and destructive to the interests of labor and capital. With such a record the Republican pirty can be trusted to make such revision of ex isting Tariff schedules as1, tho conditions of the business of the country demand. But tho fact will not be lost sight of that tho Dingloy Tariff, so bitterly denounced by the Deincratic party, has brought to the country the industrial prosperity, rise in wages, cheapening of commodities and extension of markets which havo combined to mnke the past live years the most prosperous and beneficent the country has known in all its history with such a record of past achievement, not only in making necessary revision of Tariff schedules, hut in revising those schedules upon Protection lines which brought glorious results, there wi 1 not be any cause for half hearted or doubt ful utterances by thu Republican party on the Tariff this year. i ne reai issue ot mis year," earn n prominent Republican, member of tho Hotiae of KcnresentativeB from tlio West, "will not be how or when the Tariff shall be revised, but bv whom mid for what purpose it shall bo revised. Vnn will nlmnrvn tli.it ll. llmnnKrola denounce Republican sumieationH that the Tariff revision, when made, shall bo tiindo by its friends. When tho peoplo of this country get ready to abandon the principles of Protection and resort to Freo Trade and low Tariffs, which af ford no Protection and which therefore amoiit to Freo Trade, it will ho time to invite mo uemouratic party to revise the customs schedules. But the fact is that the friends of the Tariff should Iks the ones to make the revision, for in making the changes they will coneult tho best interests of the people, capital and labor, and they will not roiisult tlio interests of the iinporterH. 'It is also well to call attention to the fact that if the Democrats are to he en trusted with the work of revi-ini? tho 1'ariff the job will be done without ref erence to the wishes of the industrial and agricultural producers of the coun try. It will be a case of dark-lantern biiMiu-ss, just as was lint Wilson-tior- mau act. The nmiufarliiters ami la borers, the miners anil farmers, whose interests are so closely linked with tin import and export trade of thu country, weru not consulted when the Democrat ic laritt act ol 1MM was created. Tin industries of the country knew nothing 4bout wh.it was in i-tore for them until me uooii oi competing goods urcil in ujon the country, doting the mills and factories, reducing wages and to impov erishing the people, that there was not money enough out among the H.ople to buy the 'clie.ip' foreign commodities? which stocked the customs liotinvs and the watehouM'S of this coun rv. "So I say," said the member, "that the issue of the campaign will not onlv be the souudness an 1 safety of Protec uon, uui u win oe as to who is to r'.-vise me lariu, wnen me lime tor revision comes. When the Russian Foreign Otlice de- clared its intention of treating the trans miners of wireless telegraph as spies there was a general chorus of protest but that the wireless telegraph intrO' duces a new problem into warfare, and that.it may very properlv be declared contraband, is maintained bv the Elec trical World and Engineer. It Is obvi ou that belligerents suffer a doubl peril from the presence of wireless teleg raphy. First, news may be tran-initled to neutral taints absolutely withou censorship or control ; next, secret com munication might be established be tween the uews-ga'herer and one of the belligerents in a manner that would def detection. These two consideration would seem to justify the lemjiorary seizure, during an important oeration of any news ves-el eo,uip-ed wilh a wire less instrument. It would warrant on proper warning, the confiscation of all stich instruments as contraband. uch is the view of the Electrical World and Engineer. The answer of the I-oihIoh Times is tint its dispatch boat tervicc is so discreetly conducted that no harm can have been done to either party. But in time ol national danger verv little is intrusted to the discretion of those who have the power to harm. New York Evening Post. Methodist Episcopal Conf -r. rue at . - i.Los Angeles, Calif.

C, May 16. Accord-1 ing to a Tokio dispatch received at the Japanese legation, the cruiser Miyako was sunk by a mine at Kerr bay. The dispatch reads: ' "Admiral Kataoka reports that on , May 14 a four-torpedo-boat flotilla con-1 tinned itt tea-sweeping operations un der the cover of the fleet. The ei:c:ii , constructed temporary batteries on a promontory bet ween Kerr bay and Tdi-; enwnn bay, and there placed six field guns besides a hastily-constructed tort. "With one company of soldiers they stubbornly resisted our attack. The flo tilla. def ing the enemy's fire, carried out its operations and destroyed five mines laid by the enemy. Unfortunate' ly, one of the mines exploded and Mink our cruiser Miynko. In this accident six men were wounded. Two others wero killed while the fight was in prog. ress.'; ' It is believed here, notwithstanding' the fact that the dupalch mentions the Miyako us a cruiser that the boat sunk was a disp.itch boat. A dispatch boat bearing the name Miyako, and of 1,800 tons burden, is given in the lists of Jap anese war vessels, but no cruiser of a similar name is mentioned. St. PtTKHsnuita, May 1G.
