If you woro queoni of pleasure,

Wo'd hunt down lovo together,
Pluck out his Hying foathor,
And teach his feet a measure,
And find his mouth a roln;

congress for sovernl years to como.
Salem wants $100,000 a year for tho

Somo such young fellow would

RETIRING METHODIST BI8HOP3.
The Methodist Episcopal church Is
holding Its quadriennlal general con
ference at Los Angeles and has de
cided to retire five of Its aged bishops
from active sorvice. Bishops of the
Methodist Episcopal chifrch, llko pre
lates of the Episcopal and Roman
Catholic churches aro elected for life,
and It Is somowhat unusual, in eccle
siastical administration to retire bish
ops on account of age, except at their
own request. Tho five bishops whoae
Involuntary retirement has been or
doted by the general conference have
boon bishops of tho Methodist Episco
pal church for from twenty to thirty
twq, years each and their ages range
from 70 In tho case of Bishop Foss,
of Philadelphia, to 79 In tho cases of
Bishop Merrill, of Chicago, and An
drews, of Now York City.
Tho retired bishops will, of course,
continue to bo bishops but will not
bo In active sorvice. The Methodist
church provides a pension qf $2500 or
half pay for superannunted bishops.
Bishop Thomas Bowman, of East
Orange, N. J., Is 87 years of age. He
heads the list of Methodist bishops,
and was elevated to that rank In tho
Mothodlst church In 1872, when Bish
ops Stephen M. Merrill, of Chicago,
and Edward G. Andrews, of New York
City, who are his Juniors by eight
years, were also choson to'tho bish
opric of the church. Bishop Cyrus D.
Foss, of Philadelphia, whoso retire
ment is strongly opposed by tho Phil
adelphia clergymoii under his episco
pal direction, Is barely 70 years of
ago and is said to bo In possession
of full bodily and mental vigor. He
was elected a bishop of the church in
1880. Bishop Malllolul, of" Auburn
dale, Mass., Is 75 and Bishop John
M. Walden. of Cincinnati, is 73. Both
were elected bishops In 1884. Bishop
John H. Vincent, of Zurich, Switzer
land, is 72. He became a bishop in
1888 and is to bo retired at his own
request. No reference Is made In the
dispatches regarding Bishop Henry
W. Warren, of Donver, who Is 73
years of age, and may possibly be al
ready on the retired list. He and
Bishop Bowman appear to bo the only
Mothodt3t bishops on the list abovo
tho ago of 70 who are not retiring,
voluntarily or Involuntarily, from ac
tlvo se'rvlce.
The precedent now being estab
questions bo affected by the victory
of either party?
If the Democrats were successful
next fall, they would elect a President
and Democratic Hduso of Represent
atives; but tho Senate would remain
Republican. Tho Houso would bo
flooded with tariff bills, each setting
forth the vlshes of a different faction.
The tariff debates would occupy much
time, but even if the Democratic fac
tions came to an ngre'omnot, tho legls'-1
latlon could be blocked by tho Re
publican Senate. This prolonged
uncertainty would be likely to caus
a repetition of the panic of 1893,
when the democracy began to run the
country.
If the Republicans are victorious,
the party will have to act and can
accede to a demand for a reasonable
and conservative revision of the tariff
If such Is the will of the voters. As it
Is well known that the Republicans
will adhere to tho fundamental doc
trine of protection, their revising the
tariff would cause no general alarm.
After the election the Republicans
will face the tariff question as a busi
ness proposition and solve it in ac
cordance with the best Interests of
the majority. If the Democrats cap
tured the House, they would mako
a violent but planless attack upon tho
present tariff and yet could accom
plish nothing, except to bring about
a period of uncertainty, which is fatal
to present business conditions.
WATERSON FAVORS REFORMS.
At the National Editorial associa
tion hold at St. '"Louis Colonel Henry
Wattorson, of LouIbVUIo, on "The
Editorial Page," said In part:

good humor is tho solar system of
the editorial page, which should bo

"Write of a man nothing you would
not say to his faco, and might not
