Methodist Women Win.
The foniprnmlsu ndjustmpnt of the
w.niinil dolPSiite isslii' which has been
rt iiilifd ly the rievtliind penorul con
ference is so manifestly a sensible ave
nue of escape from what would other
wise have proved n serious embarrass
ment that the wonder Is it was not
adopted without delay. The women lay
delegates are admitted by courtesy with
the understandliiK that the legality of
such udmlssion Is to be determined by
another submission of the mooted con
stitutional amendment to tha annuul
conferences.
Morally the women win; technically
the moment of their complete triumph
is delayed four years. This should be
and doubtless Is amply satisfactory to
them; 'and, moreover, it gives the op
position four years In which to make a
graceful fall. When we consider the
enormous debt which Methodism owes
to women, the strange thing about this
whole question Is that there should ever
have been a desire to exclude women
from lay representation In the general
assembly of the church. Says Dr. Car
roll, in the current Forum: "It is a
well-known fact that women outnum
ber men In the membership of the
churches. According to the returns of
those denominations which give statis
tics of membership by sex, the propor
tion is about two female members to
every male member. Women constitute
a very large and active force in most of
the churches, outnumbering the men In
attendance at public worship and par
ticularly at prayer-meeting; faithful
In various kinds of church work, creat
ing enthusiasm and raising money for
missions, and conducting the business
of their own societies with such zeal
and success that some of the men have
become ashamed of the less satisfactory
record which the sterner sex is mak
ing." Dr. Carroll was speaking of
rrotestant denominations generally;
but his remarks fit to a nicety the
conditions which exist in the Methodist
church.
' We remember once to have heard a
noted Bkeptlo make the remark that If
tt wasn't for the women cooking chick
en for the preachers, the Methodist
church wouldn't survive twenty-four
hours. This jibe, meant to be sarcas
tic, was in truth a high compliment to
the patient ciunestness of the sex
which is today and has been the bul
wark of the Christian religion. It is
true In Methodism, but not more true
In It than In other denominations, that
the burden of religious lnbor rests up
on women. Can there be, therefore,
real justice In the exclusion of women
from the supreme council of the
church? The logic of events is answer
ing this question In a manner not to
be misunderstood.
We infer that the new chief of the fire
department represents the standard
which the present municipal adminis
tration Intends, so far as It can, to es
tablish In the personnel of the govern
ment of Scranton. Wo Infer this be
cause the appointment of Mr. Hickey
was deliberate, and was decided upon
After all the risks had been duly
weighed. At this time no comment is
called for. The fact speaks for Itself.
Civil Service Progress.
. While at first glance It may seem as If
President Cleveland, in issuing on
Wednesday an order adding 29,3!l'.t gov
ernment positions to the classified list
of the civil service, had Intended to
tie the hands of his Republican succes
sor, the later thought will be that he
has done to the next executive a genu
ine favor. The new order brings the
number of positions which are nmen
able to civil service rules from rr,736 up
to 85,135 and leaves only 775 positions
exempt from the examination require
ment. The practical meaning of this is that
henceforth the president of the United
.States and his principal lieutenants
will be exempt from the unpleasant
necessity of having to devote the major
portion of their time to hearing the Im
portunities of place-seekers; and will
have correspondingly more leisure to
devote to the really Important duties
of their respective positions. The next
president, unless he adopts the heroic
course of delegating to his cabinet offi
cers final authority respecting appoint
ment!, will still be pestered with would-
b Internal revenue collectors, district
but he will not have to give ear overy
time a scrub-woman wants a job In one
of tho departmenti or every time a cpn
grmman wishes presidential consent
to the "making of a place" for some
hungry and inappeasible constituent.
Therefore, while President Cleveland
has reduced the area of Republican ex
pectation he has widened the area of
executive freedom, and deserves credit
rather than censure.
And, after all, why should polities
play any part in determining the selec
tion of federal clerks, bookkeepers,
folders and pasters, janitors and watch--men?
Can anyone give a reason why
John Smith's qualifications as a mathe
matician cajiable of adding a row of
figures or reter Itrown's ability to copy
records should be Influenced for either
the better or the worse by the fact that
these two men vote this, that or an
other ticket? No doubt In chief posi
tions where there is a large measure of
executive option and responsibility the
administration is Justified in wanting
to have men In sympathy with Its aims
end amenable In its ut;gestl-.ns and re
proof, llut we cl'allen;;.' the spoilsmen
to cite one respectable argument why
tiie merit system of non-partisan test
fliould not cover the great bulk of minor
olVices, not onlj in the national but also
In the state and in the municipal ser
vice. That wtll-managed base ball is popu
lar lu Scranton was shown by yester
day's large and distinguished assem
blage at Athletic park. The home
team, to be sure, got worsted, blit the
playing was sharp, clean and spirited,
and everybody felt well entertained.
It is only a question of time until the
Scranton team takes a permanent po
sition among the leaders in tho race.
It has the skill, the management and
the luclinatiun; and where there's a
w ill there's a way.
Too Much Politics.
The esteemed Democrat and Chroni
cle of Rochester does not agree with
The Tribune tliut we have too much
politics in this country. 11 says: 'A
people who govern their own country
cannot have too much polities. And
think of having to wult ten years to
correct the awful mistake made In 189-!
The fathers of the republic had a pretty
good idea of how to fix tilings for a
nation whose welfare depmds on the
political education and uction of tlr-
masses."
Our suggestion of decennial national
campaigns wns of course not meant
seriously; nevertheless wo are serious
In the belief that no legitimate public
Interest would suffer if the number of
political campaigns through which the
American people have to pass every de
cade were reduced one-half. A single
term presidency with the term length
ened to six or eight years, fewer ses
sions of congress and state legisla
tures; live-year terms for mayors and a
corresponding lengthening of the terms
of other elective municipal officers
might sometimes cause popular un
easiness in coses wherein the people
had been grossly deceived; but this de
crease in the frequency of elections
would be likely to result In an Increased
sense of responsibility on the part of
electors and a diminished liability to
gross mistakes. It would hnve also the
counter-balancing virtue of retulning
good 'men In olllce longer than they are
now retained; and if, recurring to our
contemporary's reference to 1S92, l'resl
tU lit Harrison's term had been eight
Instead of four years, and the McKlnley
hill could have had four more years of
fair trial, it is reasonable, we think, to
infer that the "awful mistake of 1892"
would not have occurred, either in 1892
or at any subsequent period.
If selfish consldeiatlons alone were to
govern, politicians and journalists
could be excused for wanting more In
stead of less politics, because political
activity is to both usually a source of
profit. They stand in much the same
relation to political campaigns that
manufacturers of ammunition and sup
plies do to military campaigns; yet it
will hardly be held that for the benefit
of the latter, mankind ought to keep
continually at war. The fact is that
much of tho past multiplication of
political campaigns has been entirely
valueless in any permanent sense, and
has had for Its real cause simply the
anxiety of politicians for employment.
Fewer campaigns would mean that
those which should be held would be
mere decisive. There would not be that
same invitation which now exists for a
fluent public opinion- to go at inclina
tion to any given extreme secure In the
knowledge that if the experiment
should not pan out, it could soon be re
scinded. AVe venture to say that no re
flective man can contemplate the vio
lent fluctuations In public opinion
which have characterized our politics
since 1S90 without experiencing a sense
of shock to his inherited belief that
government of, by and for the people
is the best and safest government on
earth. We consider that much of this
popular instability is tho direct out
growth of an excess of small politics,
.liven, fewer elections and tht:e with
more significance to them than ordin
arily attaches to the function of de
termining whether John Doe, the Re
publican, or Richard Roe, the Demo
crat, shall draw the salary and pocket
the perquisites of the public office, und
there would, we suspect, be more seri
ous thought among the electors and a
safer and more representative expres
sion of public opinion.
Finally, multiplied elections mean
disturbed business. The business ma.i
can adjust his affairs to any line of
political policy If given time und oppor
tunity. He can make money under a
high or under a low tariff, if enabled to
make his calculations and contiaets ac
cordingly, with the certainty that when
mude these will not need to be changed
before the ink on them Is diy. Hut
there Is smnll assurance of requisite
Hocurity so long us an excited populace
Is reversing itself every two or four
years; and until there Is ample assur
ance, business will not revive.
Reversing numerous predictions to
the contrary, some made within the
week, Colonel McClure now remarks:
"McKlnley has broken Reed's forces In
New England by practically carrying
New Hampshire and Vermont; he Is
rapidly dividing the Morton delegation
In New York; he will have a consider
able portion of tho Pennsylvania delegation-after
a complimentary vote for
Quay;, he has unhorsed Harrison in In
diana? he has downed Cullorn In Illl
jiule; he has whipped Davis In Minne
sota"; be hoi brain-clouted Mandeison
in Nebraska, and he has divided honors
with Uradley In Kentucky. t-'uch a
recufd Is entirely without precedent,
and it means that the Republicans In
tend to have McKlnley as their candi
date for president." This, however, is
only part of the fact They not only
intend to nominate him; they propose
also to elect him; and to this end all
good Republicans will soon willingly
unite.
They are telling a story on Major Mc
Klnley which throws some light upon
his surprising popularity. Out in Iowa,
a year or two ajro, McKlnley made a
IHilltical tour of the stute. At one place
he sat down to breakfast In his special
car Just before the train pulled out.
The edlior of the Chcroka, la.. Herald,
w ho was in the car. continues the story
as follows: "A dozen little girls came
into the vestibule of the car to see him.
ilia private secretary. Librarian Smith,
i f Columbus, told the children that the
governor was busy not to disturb him.
15ut In childish enthusiasm they rushed
into the I'ar. The governor heard their
clatter and In the simplest manner ihjs
siblo, left the table, came over where
the little girls were und shaking hands
with everyone thanked them for the
llowers they had brought him. He then
helped them ofT the train, for the cur
was moving out. Now comes the sequel:
Turning to Mr. Smith he said: 'Smith,
take those posies, esjiet'lully the wild
ones, wrap them In u1 wet cloth and ex
press them to Min. McKlnley with a
tag telling her how I came by them.'"
There are few facts more beautiful In
tho domestic careers of great men than
the chlvnliio devotion which William
McKlnley has always shown for his In
valid wife. It Is r.ot the public's con
cern, yet It is well worthy to be known
throughout the land; and tt is not w ith
out value as indicating the moral cali
ber of the next president.
The best currency plank of the sea
son is that adopted by the Indiana Re
publican convention. It says: "We U
vor the use of sliver as currency, but
to the extent only and under such regu
lations that its parity with gold can
be maintained; and In consequence are
opposed to the free, unlimited and In
dependent coinage of silver ut a ratio
of Iti to 1." This Is a safe, sensible and
easily comprehended position. It is In
no degree inconsistent with the plan
for bimetallism lately outlined In these
columns; namely, the coinage of Ameri
can sliver protected by a virtually pro
hibitive tariff on foreign sliver.
It is reported that ex-Senator Fas
sett of Elmlra has burled the hatchet
with which he had Intended, once upon
a time, to tomahawk the redoubtable
Tioga brave, Thomas Collier Piatt.
Mr. Piatt, In our opinion. Is, In politics
at least, the Ideal "bad man," but there
doesn't seem to be any ground for de
bate as to his facility and agility in
getting what he wants In Empire state
l'"1,iu'8'
Senator Hill's championship of the
administration on the bond Issue waB
too clever by half. It excited suspicion
that the bond deal was not "on the
square," and no doubt that was just
what Hill wanted.
The proper position for Charles Em
ory Smith in the next administration
will bo either the editorship of the
Philadelphia Press or the ambassador
ship to England.
If the St. Louis convention can have
Its way there is very little doubt that
the next vice-president of the United
States will be Thomas Brackett Reed.
Roles Penrose should not forget to re
call how last summer he came from
lirigantine beach shouting like mad for
McKlnley.
Thomas C. Piatt has one consolation.
It will not lie his first term outside the
breastworks.

Tribune falls Into u most Ininentjblo error
when it designates Henry llson, of M.n-Fui-husctts,
as ua inferior man. As tne
colleague of Charles Sumner la the I nltc J

the entire history of the country, from
