The Time Limit Gons.
"N SOM1J qtiaiters n mltupprchon-
hlon prevails as to the action
taken by the Methodist Rencial
ccuiferonc'e In reference to flie
time limit of pastorates. The time
limit was lemoved but the Itinerancy
vast not abolished. This Is a distinc
tion with a difference.
As heietofoie, so In fu tu to, confer
ence appointments will be for a pet loci
of one year and In any Instance where
pastor or coiiKiearatlon shall advance
acceptable reasons for a change in pa
toral relations, the change will be made.
Methodism Is not to bo conBrepatlon
nllzetl; but In harmony with the spirit
of the age It has done away with an
aibltrary limit upon tho usefulness of
Us pastors In their respective Holds of
service, thus making possible the con
tinuance of the successful pastor as
long as he and his Hock shall llnd the
relation mutually advantageous.
No substantial reason exists why
this modification should result to the
church's disadvantage. The mere
changing about of pastors at stated
Intervals has in Itself no especial vir
tue. Tho pastor who Is conscientious
and true to his ministerial cilllce will
lemaln so under u three-year, a five
year or an any number of years limit.
The character of- the man makes the
good pastor, not tho clieumstancu of
environment. The pastor who Is not
to be trusted longer thnn live years In
a particular place has no place in
the ministry whatsoever; tho ministry
would gain by his hooking another oc
cupation. The one factor which has operated
as a conservative influence In past con
sideration of this matter has been the
ftar that the lemnval of tho time limit
would donate a yielding on the part of
Methodism to the modern tendency
toward materialistic considerations,
such as tho growth of wealth, fond
ness for luxuiy and tho cultivation In
cliuicli activities of the favor of thrwe
who possess earthly power. It was
feaied by some that the staticmarv
pastor might gradually succumb to the
temptation to continue himself In a
pleasant place, and thus perhaps un
consciously attunu his preaching of the
gospel to the liking of the principal
contributors of congregational revenue.
And It was argued that frequent trans
feis. by making the pastor in a House
Independent of local lnlluences. would
tendto piomote a higher degree of
moral courage and spiritual fearless
ness In tho pulpit.
This same argument would apply to
many other features of the lellglous
life to costly churches, to sumptuous
church furnishings, to the patronage
by tho church of music and tho liberal
arts. Its weakness lies In Its lack of
confidence In tho fundamentals of re
ligion. If religion lias any value at all,
it is in strengthening character to meet
tho temptations of tho times. This Is
a timo of wealth and luxury: ascetic
ism In religion would not modify tho
general characteristics of tho age; it
would only withdraw the very activ
ities which, by judicious and seemlv
use of the prevalent material comfoi ts
nnd blessings, would present examples
of the right relations between rcsouices
ancj c'haracter.
Tjie church which tuns away from
the spirit of the times only weakens
Itselfj It does not change the condi
tions to which It dissents.

A Governor with Backbone.
NO SOONKK had the Supremo
court dismissed tho Taylor
nppeal for lack of Jurisdic
tion than IJeckhum, tho man
thus txjiUod In tho gubernatorial of
flee in Kentucky to which Taylor was
elected, sought of Governor Mount of
Indiana the extradition of Charles Fin
ley, ono of tho Republican leaders In
dicted by a packed grand jury for com
plicity in tho Goebol afisasslnatlon.
Flnloy, together with Taylor, had
sought refugo In Indiana until such
'time na he could ho assured of a fair
trial in his native state. Governor
Mount refused to honor Beckham's re
quisition; nnd Instantly a volume of
criticism nrose,
Ai ft matter of law, Governor
Mourit'a refusal was within hs ofllclal
discretion and tho reason which ho
' Kfcvo for it, that ho would not send
any man to. trial in a sta(o where thero
ivur not reasonable, presumption that
Justice would bo ndmlnlstered Impar
tially, satisfies: common Bens.e. Tho
right of n governor to cxorclflo discre
tion In the honoring of jeqUlsltlons for
extraditions was fully defined In tho
Now York-Georgia case of Roberts vs.
Riley, In which the governor of Geor
gia sought, through mandamus pro
ceedings, to compel the governor of
New York to return a criminal to tho
state In which tho ctime had been
committed. This case wns carried to
the Hulled Statca Supremo court nnd
was there decided against tho governor
of Georgia, the Issuance of the writ of
mandamus being refused. The sylla
bus of tho opinion of Justice Matthews
says: "It Is discretionary with a tato
whether a fugitive ftom Justice shall
bo surrendered or not." The opinion
In full Is given In 11C United States Re
.ports, page SO.
In the recent ense of llovey against
the state, the Supreme court of In
diana, ns noted In the Indianapolis
Press, refused to order a writ of man
damus to Issue against the governor.
The action was begun In the Marlon
county courts to compel tho governor
to Issue n certificate of election nnd
was appealed to tho Supremo court.
Tho syllabus of tho opinion of the lat
ter court Is, "When nn act to bo done
requires the exorcise of Judgment or
discretion on the part of tho governor
and a writ of mandamus Is prayed, it
will be refused. Tho governor of a
state, In the exercise of those powers
and duties confided to his discretion by
the constitution, Is entirely Independ
ent of the Judiciary and cannot be co
erced nor In any way contiolled by a
writ of mandamus. Tho courts cannot
by a writ of mandamus compel tho
governor to act In his gubernatorial
duties." The decision Is based on tho
ptoposltion that the three departments
of the government are separate and
distinct and ono cannot Inlluence nor
control tho other in tho exercise of Its
duties.
During tho administration of Gov
ernor Albert G. Porter, the grand Jury
of .Miami county, Indiana, indicted Col
onel Walter 13. Kidder for bigamy. On
Information that Colonel Kidder was a
fugitive In New York, application for
his extradition was filed and a requisi
tion Issued by Governor Porter, ad
diesscd to the governor of that state,
for his surrender. The fugitive was
ni tested In New Yoik and held to
nwalt executive action, and tho papers
were duly served on tho governor by
the sheilff of Miami county nnd his
counsel. Gmwr Cleveland, as gov
ernor, refused to surrender the prison
er, w Ithout assigning a reason for hla
action. '
The facts In relation to Governor
Mount's action ate that a state of an
archy still exists In Kentucky In re
gard to the political offenses trumped
up by tho Democratic leaders against
their recent opponents. Tho whole
power of the Democratic party organi
zation Is being ditected with menda
cious energy toward stigmatizing tho
supporters of Governor Taylor ns cilm
Inals and putting upon them the brand
of Impiisonment. This policy Is being
pursued for effect In the next election,
with a view to counteracting the 'pop
ular upilslng which tho Democratic
leadeis have leason to fear as a con
sequence of their high-handed pro
ceedings. To send back a man like
Finley for trial under such conditions
would be to be a party to an outrage
on justice; and General Mount exhibit
ed tho right splilt when ho refused to
do it.
The $tn,000,noo shortnge of the firm
of brokers that failed In New Yoik the
ether day will of course be deducted
from the ptollts of speculation lambs
who dieam of making fortunes on Wall
street.
Progress in the Philippines.
THK PICTl'RK of condition
in the Philippines presented
In the recently published
report of Rilgadler General
Theodore Schwan, who has just re
turned from Manila nfter a brilliant
service in the Held and at corps head
iu:i iters, Is so clear, interesting and
pertinent that we cannot do better
than to quote liberally from It. It il
lumines the whole situation.
"Hrlgandage," says General Schwan,
"pievalled to a greater or less extent
in the Philippine Islands from time
Immemoilal. In Spanish times no sus
tained or bona fide efforts were made
for Its suppression. Local troops were,
indeed, raised to put down nnd pre
vent robbery, but their operations
were spasmodic and superficial, and
they were generally suspected of be
ing In league with the lobbers and of
shailng In their plunder. During the
peilod of the Tagalog rebellion (1S9G
!is). when, owing to tho voluntary
withdrawal of Agulnaldo and other
leadeis to Hong Kong, hostilities
were genet ally suspended, the rem
nants "f the Insurgents or those whom
tho leaders could not control Joined
the 'ever-exlatent' robbc bands, who
in consequence, weio enabled to carry
on a guerrilla warfare against minor
bodies of Spanish troops. In addition
to plying their vocation of plundering
peaceable Inhabitants. Tho robber
system, pure and simple, was kept up
while organized Insurrection against
the United States was carried on. With
the disruption of the insurgent gov
ernment nnd tho dispersion of the In
surgent armies, robber bands have
been all over tho Islands extensively
reinforced by Insurgent oillcers nnd
soldiers who on leturnlng to their
homes were disinclined to resume hon
est work, and still clung to tho Idea
of n Filipino republic.
"Excluding tho savage mountain
tribes and those directly connected
with the bands above mentioned (a
comparative small but constantly
varying quantity) the Filipinos may
bo roughly divided Into two classes,
viz., tho intelligent educnted (also, as
a rule, tho property-owning) class,
who form a small minority, and tho
uneducated, laboring or peasant class,
constituting tho great maBs of tho
people. Most men of both classes hon
estly desire the restoration of peace
and order under American or any
other kind of rule, being thoroughly
weary of war. Those of tho former
class, for tho most part, prefer Amer
ican rule, believing that though mild
It will bo firm and, above all, Just,
una because they have no faith In the
fitness of the Filipinos ob a people
to govern themselves. They arc, how
ever, afraid to cast In their lot un
reservedly with the Americans, fear
ful that the anticipated withdrawal of
American troops may expose them to
severe treatment at tho hands of tho
Insurgent leaders, who, with even a
smnll following, seem to be able to
terrorize tho people, and In tho past
have shown a vlndictlveness and
cruelty almost beyond parallel. Hence,
while yielding pnselvc obedience to,
or at least tcfralnlng from positively
hostile acts against, the military
(American) occupants, some of them
keep up relations with nnd contribute
to the need of the guerrilla bands In
their neighborhood, promiscuously
mado up of robbers and ex-lnsurgcnts.
M.Many men of the lower clnss, while
preferring a quiet, humdrum life to
the hardships and dangers of high
waymen nnd bushwhackers, aro yet
amenable to tho persuasions or threats
of the brigand chiefs nnd Join or quit
the brigand service according to clr
cumstnnces. Those who actively or
openly seek to maintain brigandage
as a nucleus or rallying point for a
future rebellion are tho military and
political lenders of the late organized
Insurrection, of whom all but u few
are utterly unscrupulous and actuated
by purely selfish motives. These men
realize that should tho Insurgent
movement die out entirely nnd Amer
ican rule bo firmly established they
will forfeit forever positions of influ
ence nnd prominence and will bo rele
gated to their former obscurity and
penury In private station, In the main
they rest their hope for a revival of
tho insurrection and for the reconcon
trntlnn of insurgent forces upon (1)
tho supposed necessity American
troops will bo under of abandoning
many of their present positions, ow
ing to the Impossibility of supplying
tho latter during tho wet season, nnd
(2) upon the success of the Demo
cratic or antl-expanslon party in the
coming presidential campaign in the
United Slates. Their ability to hold
tho guerrilla bands together and to
retain moral control over a consider
able proportion of the common people
Is due largely to tho astounding ignor
ance and credulity of tho latter."
General Schwan Is convinced that
tho Insurrection cannot recover from
tho collapse It has suffered; and tho
reasons which he gives for his belief
include the fact that all central and
strategic points are thoroughly gar
risoned by our troops, whose scouting
parties penetrate frequently to the
most secluded portions of the interior
under a well-systematized plan of
operations that is being dally im
proved; tho opening of schools and the
establishment of municipal govern
ment on lines which, while safeguard
ing Individual property rights and
American sovereignty, place tho man
agement of local affairs under the con
trol of tho townspeople, who will thus
enjoy a degree of independence never
dreamed of hitherto.. "The most se
rious obstacle In the way of pacifica
tion," he says, "lies In tho lack of
faith the soldiers have In tho inhabi
tants and tho Inhabitants in tho sol
diers. This distrust is, certain to pas3
away when each class becomes ac
quainted with the customs, the aims
and tho standards of tho other. Pro
longed contact of the troops with the
people must of necessity bo recipro
cally advantageous. Tho people will
bo beneficiaries In many ways pecu
niarily, by tho disbursements tho
United States makes to the soldiers
and for military purposes; education
ally, dy the schools which aro now
starting up all over the Islands, and
In which English will soon become the
language in which Instruction is con
veyed; politically, by the reconstruc
tion of civil government on a basis re
quiring the expenditure of local tax
levies for local purposes In a manner
determinable by the tax payers. On
the other hand, tho work of tho troops
will bo facilitated, and their condition
Improved, as they gain tho confidence
of the well-disposed natives. These,
when they find the troops have come
to slay, will resist the exactions of
the 'Insurrectos,' a term now become
a synonym of guerrillas or bandits,
whoso haunts and plans they will as
sist the military In ferreting out.
When a state of mutual understand
ing and confidence shall bo established
the days of the guerrillas will b'e num
bered. In minor matters there will,
of course, be setbacks, friction and
disappointments. These are unavold
abl". but they will hardly be of a
character to seriously impedo the ac
complishment of the object aimed at,
the pacification of the country under
Amei lean sovereignty."
Yet there aro Americans who want
to give up this great work at Its be
ginning nnd turn over to cut-throat
levenge the natives who have already
placed confidence in American prom
ises. The New York Ico trust has been of
ficially placed in tho category of the
unlawful. The decision of tho attor
ney general of New York will be unl
vei sally commended. Ico nnd water
should bo protected against the com
bine calculated to promoto high prices.
Lachrymose agitators are missing
opportunities In not Insisting that tho
United States shall tako a hand in the
Colombia war.

OUR TRADE WITH GERMANY.
American commerce with Ccimnny does not
thus fir show any falling ol! as the lesult of the
recent agitation in (ieniiany upon that subject.
Indeed, our c.ports to Germany cluilng the nine

In the single Item of pro isions, however, then
h u reduction of nbout IS per cent., while In
noaily all other aitldci there Is n maiUd In

I am a warper in a cotton mill, and am twenty-eight
years old. I have been troubled with dyspepsia for a long
time, and have tried a great many remedies for it and doc
tors, but nothing did me any good until I tried Ripans Tab
ules, which have entirely cured me. I believe they will cure
any case if used according to directions. I always speak a
good word for them and use them myself whenever I need
them. Every one who has tried them here says they are
the best medicine they have ever tyied for indigestion.
