MEMPHIS APPEAL.TUESDAY, s : i FEBKUART 20, 1SS4

'EXITED WE STASH."There never was a time in the history

of the State when Democratic unity wasbo necessary and essential as it isbecause at no time were the Republicansbo sanguine of success counting upon itchiefly as a result of the bickering betweeninfluential Democrats which for some timehas been carried on in Nashville. This isa Presidential year and the full strengthof the party must be polled. Happilythere is no question now before the peopleupon which a division can be made, and

ose who in 1SS: voted for the sixty-and- -

three can stand shoulder to sholuder withthose who voted for e. Asfar perpetuating; the strife of 1833, thati altogether out of the qnestion. Itwould be little less than criminal to dof. Some of the staunchest and best men

of the party spoke, wrote and voted forf as two years before someof the same class voted for a measure:hat these regarded as little better thanrepudiation. We took the "low-taxer-

to Mir hearts in 1S83, and we must takeVie "high-taxers- " in the same loving em-

brace this year, which is to be so auspi-- iirus for the.DemoiTjtic party it" we are

orJy united, and act sensibly andwith a purpose to win a tellingvictory. So far as the tariff question isoneerned, Morrison's bill is broad enough

"or all Democrats to stand upon. It pro-vides for all that can be done in the wayof tariff reform just now in view of thenecessities of the government, and it doesni t discriminate or encourage monopolit sri:n8t the interests of the people. There

5", therefore, no reason for division amongDemocrats, but a thousand if iud and suf-

ficient whv th"v oh mid be united.

THE IICmil Htl Y A 1MT.As we approach the t: me for the selec-

tion of candidates for the Presidency andVice Presidency, it is pleasant aud reas-

suring to find that all signs of division be-

tween Democrats are fast disappearing,and that even on the question of the tariirthe party will be a unit. As the York(Pa.) Dtmucral, representing a protection-ist community, says: "There is reallyvery little difference among Democrats onthe tariff question, far less, in fact, thanamong Republicans. On tlifc vital under-lying principle, that the power of taxa-tion can be used by the United States onlyto provide means for general public pur-poses those purposes explicitly definedin the constitution there is, betweenDemocrats, no difference at all. So farwe all agree. So far Mr. Randall, Mr.Carlisle and all the rest of us go to-

gether. Great efforts have been madeby the organs of the monopolists todrive Messrs. Carlisle, Morrison, Hewittand the Democratic leaders to extremes.These efforts have failed, and Mr. Mor-rison's unexpectedly moderate bill is a dis-

appointment to ths clamorous alarmistswho have predicted such terrible thingsfrom the Democratic House. We believethat the late agitation of the tariff, andthat which we are to have before thePresidential conventions iu the summer,will be anything but hurtful to the Demo-cratic party. It will have been just hiilUcient to show the people the grievousabuses which the Republicans have main-tained in favor of various monopolists andagainst the worklnginen, and from whichthey have derived a large part of the vastcorruption funds with which they havehitherto bought election; but it will notalarm any honestly conducted busingsinterests any hero from ocian to ocean."

Before getting mad and forming an opin-ion on the question, the public shouldunderstand what Ochiltree's resolutionexpressed and how it passed the lowerbranch of Congress. While much mis-

cellaneous business was before CongressMr. Morrison yielded the floor for a mo-

On account of the contemptible source-fro-

which this resoluiioti emanated noone paid the slightest attention to whathad been read. It. is paid that most ofthe members had closed their desks andleft their scats. No objection was madeto the resolution and no negativevote cast against Ochiltree's motionfor its passage, so it was declaredadopted, and the House then imme-diately adjourned. The objection olBismarck is to be found in that part ofthe resolution given iu ilnl!r. He in- -aists that this obiecrionaMii resolutionmeddles with the internal policy ol (!cr-man- y,

and states as a fact what ho andhis government have uniformly main-tained was untrue. H argues that fornun iu present sucli a resolution to theEmperor, as requested by the I'nitedStates House of Kcpresentatives, wouldbe for li Liu to pl.tee both . himself

ml the Kiuperor i a f'.iNo position.There is much force in this po-

sition. Stonewall .lad son was the great-est military genius which the war be-

tween the 't ites developed. His piety,his heroism and his M.ategie talent com-manded the admiration ol the civilizedworld. In .May, In!;!, he was fired on byhis own pickets and killed. If the tier-i- n

an Ueiehstag had passed a compliment-ary resolution to Stonewall Jackson'smemory similar to that introduced andpassed by Ochiltree, and Bismarck hadforwarded this resolution to the govern-ment of the I'nited States, it would havebeen iudiguautly spurned by the 1'rcii-'"u- t

and Secretary of State as an inter-ma- d

lling in the internal affairs of the"nitcd States government. The posi- -

on which Lasker occupied toward the"man empire is much like that which

icmcnt L. Vallandigham occupied iu' e United Slates during the war,

after the death of Yalland- -

m, if the Reichstag of Cer-i- ii , .y nan passed a resolution ettlo

The hostility between Bismarckand Lasker was bitter and unrelent-ing. The Emperor of (Germany hatadLasker as Lincoln and Stantou hatedVallandigham, and it was in bad taste anddiscourteous to throw in the fee of theGerman government a resolution compli-mentin- g

an objectionable man. War isnot all imminent on account of Ochiltree'sfolly. No one need skip to Canada toavoid being drafted to Ccht the Ger-mans. It is evident the offensive reso-lution would not have passed the Houseif it had been carefully considered. AaAmerican ci'.izeus we might heartily in-

dorse the opinion the resolution ex-presses concerning Uerr Lasker's politi-cal action, but it is manifestly improperfor the American government to inter-file with th internal policy of a friendly

A Private View of the Memorial to tbe4r'aiet J AmeritauLondon, February 25. A private view

was given of Thomas Brock's memorialbust of Longfellow, which will be un-veiled in Westminster Abbey on Saturdaynext. It is pure white marble, andslightly larger than life. It represents thepoet at the best period, old age, with no-ble features, flowing hair and full beard.The subject is treated with boldness andeffect and is regarded as a strong andbeautiful work. The poet's daughterspronounce the likeness striking. Thebust will be placed in a conspicuous anglein the poets' corner, between the busts ofChaucer and Dryden, and bear tbe in-scription left by Dean Stanley: "This bustwas placed among the memorials of thepoets of England by the English admirersof the American poet." The MemorialCommittee have invited Gladstone to un-veil the monument.

London, February 25. A Berlin corre-spondent, in a communication to theStandard, says the independent papers arebitterly complaining of the dishonorableKemi-otlici- attacks upon Minister Sargent,who has never been popular in ollicialcircles here. The inspired press pretendsthat he is upon liar because he is merelya politician, and not a scholar, like hispredecessors. The supposition, however,is that Sargent does not regard his posi-tion as a sinecure, but energetically fulfillsl.ii political duties, which fiat often occa-sions dilliculties.

Thein irked contrast between the feelingof tiio German masses excited bythe olficial discourtesy on the one hand,and the tiiendly expression, supposed to'e unprejudiced, on the other, threatenedto become too important a factor in thee.itiine:;t of the masses against lVsnuirck

personally. Skillful diplomat as he if--, hethus sei '.ed on this veiy resolution to

the cil ct produced by it, by puttingto ridicule i's authorized representationof the body cf the American people, andwhile it would suit him to antagonize thetwo peop'e, yet desiring al the same timeto preserve friendly relations between thetwo govt rninent, iie oilers as an excusefor the indignity thus cast upon the Amer-ican people that the document was notpresented in a proper diplomatic manner.It seems to be the general impression inAmeiiim that Minister Sargent is a manheld iu no esteem in Germany, and thathe is void of the tact to uphold the dig-nity of bis position. I have met people ofall shades ot politics there. I find thatwhile some close adherents of Bismarckdisplay a great deal ot bitterness with re-gard to Sargent, produced by the contro-versy in cotinociinn with American porkimportations, yet all but the most servileofficial i:ress speak of him in terms ofhigh respect, mid the masses are fully insympathy wild his position on that ques-tion. So far iro n it lieimr true that Sargent lin ks tar t and determination, with alldue c uttesy. to sustain his position asAmerican Minister, 1 may say, from infor-mation derived from undoubted sources,that us a result of the controversy referredto, the inward nature of which is bestknown to the American State Department,the German officials are evidently in-structed to approach with delicacy everyquestion and transaction in whichthey are eniMgL-- with MinisterSargent. Mr. represents thattype of the, American inielligeiitgentleman w ho does not lack the tact amidiscretion to nphold his proper dignity inany position, and with due respect totlios wi-l- i whom he cjn-.e- s in contact.Mad he (Strt nt) presumed to put him-self in direct communication with theUeiehstag, he could have properly havebeen rejected with no other thau a .d

slight upon himself, and the presid-ing control of the body being in sympathywnii Bismarck, would naturally have lefth'm to expect :l such treatment. Hecould only look fur recognition from theconstituted authorities in G. rmanv forany coiumunie. tion lie might have or de-sire to make, by submitting it through theState Department, and that course1h took. I t'are fredict that nothing would suit Bismarck bettertnan to have Sargent made thescHpeo.i1 in this matter, and with the oldcontroversy in his mind, thus impressany future .Minister accredited by theI'nited Nates to the German governmentthat it will not do to excite his animosity,as Bismarck's ingenuity would ctlect alike result for the Minister in every case.The attempt of Bismarck in such a man-ner to secure the recall of a representati veiiecredited to his government is no newtiling."

American paper containing the contro-versy in referencs to Mr. Benjamin's al-leged letter about the British recognitionof the Confederacy caused on this side ofthe ocean no little amusement. Your cor-respondent called to-d- upon Mr. Benja-min, who, in the course of the conversa-tion, stated substantially as follows: "Inthe first place, nobody at all familiar withthe true state of the facts could ever haveentertained the idea that I asked the Brit-ish consul to introduce me to Lord Lyons.Lord Lyons and myself had lived 'neareach other for several years, and duringthat time bad been in the habit of oftendining at each other's tables. Consequentlythe assertion that I applied to the consulfor such introduction is simply absurd."

Correspondent Can you recall anycoincidence upon which the story of tbealleged letter could have been based oranything that oujjht to have given color toit?

Mr. Benjamin In August, 1860, duringthe Presidential campaign of Mr. Lincoln.I remember being in San Francisco en-gaged with Mr. Reverdy Johnson uponthe. case of the New Almaden quicksilvermines. It may have happened that somesuch letter was fabricated as one of thenumerous electioneering dodges of thecampaign, and it may have been sent bysome politieal buccaneer to Mr. ThurlowWeed, who would have not only perceivedsuch a device too foolish ever to be madeuse of, but also would have recognized itas spurious and thrown it aside amonghis papers, where the forged documentwas perhaps found at his death.

dustry is destined to assume large propor-tions in this State. The long-soug- meth-od of crystallizing the syrup of sorghumhas been discovered, and the process sim-plified. The mills at Champaign, 111., lastyear, at the end of the season, divided upa net profit of thirty per cent. This, too,after deducting various experimental ex-penses, which were afterward aban-doned. A sugar equal to standard A isnow made at Kio Grande, N. J., at a costof two and one-hal- f cents a pound. Prof.Collier, late professor of agriculturalchemistry at Washington, predicts thatsugar will be made in this country in tenyears at a cost of one cent per pound,titock cannot be purchased in any of thesugar-mil- ls already established. Tennesseeis said to be climatically the best State inthe Union for this business. Mr. Day saysEastern capital can be secured to take aportion ot the stock in any properlyconducted mill in this State. A meetingwas called at the courthouse yesterday todiscuss the matter, but only a few of onrmore enterprising citizens attended. Theaverage Brownsvillian prefers more bril-liant enterprises such as cotton-futur- e

business men of Memphis, through theAppeal, to make their homes in our town.out of tbe bustle and heat of the city ; andsugiiested the advantages of so doing, andthe ease with which they could go intothe city in the morning and return to theirfamilies at night. Am glad to say thatMr. II. Furstenbeim, of Furstenueim &

VVellford, has decided to do so, and that itis likely that others may follow him. air.Furstenbeim is now negotiating forhome here. Such a man will be a greatacquisition to our community, alfonso.

From thoRernlar Correspondent of the Appeal.1vxford, rebruary 24. Yesterday was

a memorable day for the students of theLniversity of Mississippi. It was thethirty-fourt- h anniversary of the HermeanLiterary Society. The long procession ofstudents and professors began their marchfrom the campus to the courthouse, a dis-tance of one mile at 1n-9r- ) n'.1.v 1

filed into the courthouse, which was beau- -tiiutiy decorated lor the occasion, a fewminutes before 11 o'clock. Bv this timequite an audience had collected. Ourstreets were thronged with ladies anxiousto get seats near the rostrum, and whenthe Hermean representative, Mr. CroffordJackson, arose to address the audiencetbe house was filled with the tiite oi Ox-ford society. His subject was "Light Outof Darkness." His speech was deep, leg.ical and analytical, garlanded with beantu- -ful flowers of rhetoric. Ho did full justice

to the occasion and rather surpassed themost sanguine expectations of his friends.Mr. Jackson graduates this session. Hehas made many warm friends during hisstay here.

BIRXINGHAH, ALA.

From the Kernlar Correspondent of the Appeal.1Birmingham, February 24. For several

days, since Tuesday's cyclone, the GeorgiaPacific railroad has been selling round-tri- p

tickets to Brompton, the meetingpoint of its passenger trains, at a reducedrate, as an inducement to visit the sceneof the storm, and a great many have goneout. Brompton is twenty-tw- o miles eastof Birmingham, and about a mile thisside of where the cyclone left the railroadIt struck the road about a quarter of amile beyond the depot at Leeds, and fol-lowed it up for about six miles. Leeds isa new place, or rather hardly a "place" atall. There is nothing there xcept thedepot, and some 400 yards this side achurch, one log farmhouse, a little store,a blacksmith shop and another shanty ortwo. It is a beautiful site for a town,however, one of the prettiest places in thepicturesque Cahaba, and before the cy-clone parties who bought land therewhen the depot was located hoped to sellit out in town lots at a good profit andpretty rapidly.

It is thought that Mr. H. F. Ds Eardle-be- n

has closed a trade with the AlabamaGreat Southern Railroad Company to sellthem land he bought recently at Elyton.amile and a half down the road from Birm-ingham, as a site for their shops, or ratherthe general shops of the Erlanger system,of which the Alabama Great .Southern isa part.

Col. A. S. Colyar and Col. J. B. Kille-bre-

of Nashville, have been here severaltimes lately, and there is reason for be-lieving that they are organizing a schemeto work coal lands in the adjoining countyof Walker, that they bought from the lateMaj. Thomas Peters. Col. Colyar, by theway, has promised to address the mass-meetin- g,

that is to be held here soon, toorganize the Alabama Industrial League.

JACKSON, MISS.

From the Regular Correspondent of the Appeal.1Jackson, February 23. The matter of

greatest interest that has occupied thetime and consideration of the Legislatureduring the past week was the bill "To incorporate the Board of Levee Commissioners for the Yazoo-Mississip- pi Delta,and for other purposes." It is indeed amatter of great importance, for much depends upon its successful execution. Itpassed both houses after an earnest andspirited discussion. It is the fruits of along and labored study and careful consideration of an able joint committee ofthe two houses, aided by the advice, experience and wisdom of many gentlemenof commanding ability who are identifiedwith the levee district. Its friends thinkthat its provisions are wise and practicable and will prove efficient and subservethe object of its passage. As the Appealcirculates largely in the district affectedby the bill, it may not be amiss to give afew of its leading features.

The levee district created is composedof the counties of Tunica, Coahoma, Quitman and Sunflower, that portion of Desoto, Tallahatchie, Leflore and Yazoo lyingwest ef the high-wat- er mark of the Mississippi river of the flood of 18S2, at ornear the foot of the hills, making saidhigh-wate- r mark the eastern 'boundary ofsaid levee district; and wherever saidlevee line of high-wate- r mark intersectsthe bottom of creek and branch land,said line of high water shall extend acrosssaid creek or branch bottom in a straightline to the f sot of the hills on the oppositeside. (It is estimated that the area con-

tains about 4,000,000 acres of land.) Itcreates a Board of Levee Commissioners,to be appointed biennially by the Govern-or, with the advice and consent of theSenate, composed of two resident free-hold citizens from each of the counties ofDesoto, Quitman, Tunica and Coahoma,and one.from each of the counties of Tal-

lahatchie, Sunflower, Leflore and Yazoo,and the Governor may appoint a stock-holder in the Memphis and Vicksburgrailroad as an additional commissioner,made a body politic and corporate, withall powers incident to such bodies, givesdetails of the organization, duties andpowers; gives power to purchase, receiveand condemn lands necessary for loca-tion, construction and maintaining levees,with details of procedure necessary forcondemnation of land and timbers ; madetheir duty to build, rebuild, strengthen,elevate and maintain levees upon andalong the Mississippi river front throughme counties 01 uesoio, 1 unica and Coa-homa to the levee now owned by andmaintained by the Mississirmi fveeDistrict ; may adopt present line of leveesin said counties when practicable, andwhen practicable may adopt and conformto plans, specifications and views of theMississippi River Commission and co-operate with the same; enmowered totreat, contract and negotiate with theMississippi River Commission for thepurpose of securing construction and re-pairs of the levees, or for the aid. assistance and of same, and to thisend may turn over to said commission theusage and control of the whole or a partof its line, and may place its officers andagents at the disposal of and under thedirection of same; the county seatof Tunica to be the domicile of thelevee commissioners; shall have powerto issue bonds not exceeding. $500,000.in denominations not less than $100each, payable to person to whom sold orbearer, in not less than twenty years fromMarch 1, 1881, bearing interest not exceeding eight per cent, per annum, forwhich interest coupons may be attached,payable at time and place as board maycontract; shall not contract for any workunless at the time there is sufficient sumin lawful money of tho United States topay in full the obligation assumed ; thatfor the purpose of pavinz the bonds andcoupons issued, or any other indebtednesslegally contracted by said board, an advalorem tax of thirteen mills on the dollarupon the assessed value of all property,real and personal, in the front counties ofTunica and Coahoma and that part of De-soto included in the levee district, and asimilar tax of nine mills on the dollarupon the assessed value of all property,real and personal, situate in the remaining or back counties and parts of countiesincluded in the district, railroads tobear same tax as tho particular districtthrough which they pass. In theevent of securing the construction andmaintenance of the levees by the Mississippi River Commission, or other UnitedStates agency, or their assistance in thesame, the Board of Levee Commissionersshall have power completely to suspendcollection of the taxes levied and assessed,or any part thereof, for any length of timein their discretion provided that no suchsuspension shall be made as will impair orimperil in any way the rights of the hold-ers of said bonds or of creditors of saidboard. The bonds to be issued are notpermitted to be sold or negotiated at lessthan par value, and any officer oratrent ofthe commission who violates this pro-vision shall be guilty of a felony, and onconviction . shall be punished in peniten-tiary not less than one nor more than fiveyears.

The minutest details are provided forthe complete efficient working of the sys-tem. Every point is guarded and everyneed provided for. If the bonds can benegotiated there is no cause for a fail urnof the system. I cannot see any valid rea-son why these bonds should not be largelysought after bycapitalists. It isetrtimatedthat tbe value of the lands alone pledgedto their redemption is $10,000,000, beingtwenty times the amount of bonds author-ized to Ax issued; and with the leveescompleted and efficiently maintained thisvalue will increase, it is fair to say, 100 percent., thus ultimately rr.ab;n$20,000,000 out of which to pay $500,000.

There was an attempt made to consoli-date this district with the present lowerlevee district, also to include cotton in thetaxation to secure the payment of thebonds and other debts. These were thetwo principal points on which any contestwas made.

There has been HsfilTkA art; a. ll- -7 ucm I la lutglast few days on the question of tbe pro-posed removal of the capital to Meridian.A Dill lor Wat PUrnoae wan inlnufnn.1some weeks aco and it was nvmni .joke. The committee to whom it was re-ferred have agreed to recommend its pas-rag- e.

Some fifty of the leading citizens ofMeridian have been here for several riv.lobbying for the bill, and they pretend tobelieve that it will nass. I have ton mnphconfidence in the wisdom of the Legisla-ture to believe that they would stultifyto'ulTs ky such a move. It has been

V

suggested that the Legislature shouldmemorialize Congress to remove the na-tional capital to Meridian.

A special committee of ten has been ap-pointed by the Senate, to whom havebeen referred three several bills pendingtherein, providing for .railroad supervis-ion. The committee have agreed upon abill embracing some of he provisions ofeach bill referred to them. The leadingfeatures have not been decided upon, butthe same have not been formulated. Theywill report in two or three days. Aa faras I can learn from conversation withmembers of the committee, the bill to bereported will be very conservative andlenient in its provisions. It will providefor three commissioners to be elected bythe joint action of the two houses. Manyradical supervisors say that they will notvote for a bill of tbe character indicated.They say that such a bill will not effectanything that they had rather not haveany unless they can pass one that, accord-ing to their views, is effective.

A large amount of business has accumu-lated in both houses. Whilst they havebeen energetically at work, yet but littlehas been accomplished. All are gettinganxious to adjourn. The House has adopt-ed a resolution to adjourn tine die on the1st of March. The Senate has laid theresolution on the table subject to call, andwhen they can see through their work,they will call it up and amend it to suittheir views. If proper consideration isgiven to the bills already before them, tosay nothing of those yet to be introduced,it will be impossible for them to adjourntine die before the 12th or loth of March.There is no telling, however, what theywill do, for when a Legislature becomesreckless and anxious to adjourn, there arealways enough members to override themore thoughtful and break up, regardlessof duty and of tbe public interest involved.

This Tear.

The Most Notable Religious Events ofthe Tear Committees of the Mem-

phis and Other Conferences.

Something about the Centennials of 1S39

and 18G6 and What Was Then Ac Qeomplished for Missions.

This year 1HS4 is a great and notable onein the annals of American Methodism. Itwill witness the celebration of the 100thanniversary of the Methodist EpiscopalChurch on this continent, and is certain toprove a year of unusual activity and pro-found interest throughout the wide-extend-

borders of that powerful denomi-nation of Christiana. The gund historicfacts relating to the beneficent characterand wonderful achievements of Christian-ity through the organized plans and thedoctrines of Methodism during its path-way through this century of its existencein America are truly phenomenal, as ac-knowledged by the world's leading minds,and is one of the grandest problems of theages. With more communicants than anyother religious body in America, it is amatter of interest to briefly review someof the facts of general interest connectedwith the hiBtory of the Methodist Church.Beginning in obscurity and feebleness, ithas achieved for itself everywhere a mostwonderful success. This great religiousmovement has, immediately or remotely,

given an impulse to Christian feelingand profession on all sides that it has cometo present itaelf as the starting point ofour modern religious history.

In 1784, tho year when the MethodistChurch was organized in Baltimore, whenCoke and Asbury were acknowledged andset apart as superintendents, or bishops,there were only 14,988 members, eighty-thre- e

.preachers, sixty-fo- church build-ings, no missionaries, and no institutionof learning within the bounds of the de-

nomination. But from that time until thepresent the growth of Methodism hasbeen almost incalculable. This result wasachieved by men w ho can well be denomi-nated heroes in the loltiest sce of theword. Accepting the motto 'f JohnWesley their Church's founder "TheWorld is My Parish," these men of Godtraversed every State and Territory of ourgreat country, preaching the gospel withpower and in demonstration of the-t'piri- t

building up the Church. Their entiresingleness of purpose in spreading thegosel has been their prominent character-istic, and American Methodismnumbers within her various branches3,993,724 members; 25,S:;9 travelingpreachers, and 34,714 local preachers ; :2,-00- 0

church edifices valued at $100,000,000:258 institutions of learning, embracinguniversities, collegee, seminaries and highschools: inl&32 had 4:J3 missionaries inforeign fields sent from America, besides1,900 native helpers; and during that yearcontributed lor the cause oi ioreign missions the sum of s551,44. 44.

The Methodist EoiscoDal Church, South,has prepared lo join in the celebration of

"the Centennial Anniversary oi ineof the Methodist Episcopal

Church in America," which will occur inBaltimore December 27th, and proK9es tocommemorate the event throughout itsentire bounds with suitable services andby raising funds for educational purposes,church extension and missions three no-

ble objects to which the liberality of theChurch will certainly respond. Two mil-

lions of dollars is the amount proposed tobe raised for these objects, and that thispurpose can be accomplished there can beno doubt; it will certainly not exhaust thetreasaryof this strong Church with iunearly 9110,000 members.

It mav lie interesting to our readers torecount what American Methodism hashitherto accomplished on her centenaryoccasions. We first revert to the centen-nial of 1830. As the first Methodist society was formed in London in the monthof November. 1739. so 1S39 became properly the 100th vear of Methodism. It wasaccordingly celebrated in Europe andAmerica. During that centenary vear,with a membership of 149.210 members,including colored members and Indians,the Methodist Church in America raised$000,000 for missions, educational pur-poses, and for the support of the worn-ou- t

preachers, and the widows, childrenand orphans of preachers. The WeleyanMethodists of Great Britain raised overS1,000,000 for similar objects.

The next Methodist centennial was in1800. It was in commemoration of thefirst Methodist preaching services held inthis country in 1700, and was celebratedbv the Methodist Episcopal Church in1806. Education and church extensionwere the great objects of their benevo-lence, and $2,000,000 was suggested as theamount to be raised. The result was amagnificent one, the thank-oneriiis- s

amounting to 8,709,498 39, or more thanfour times the amount proposed at theoutset.

The successful celebration of these twoformer centenary events should certainlyencourage our Southern Methodist friendsto the accomplishment of the noble deedsthey have essayed. Such a past ought tobe an inspiration.

Able and competent committees havethis work in hand, and will spare no effortto successfully consummate it. The Cen-tral Centenary Committee, with headquar-ters at Nashville, Tenn., is composed asfollows: E. K. Hendrix, D.D ,of Missouri,chairman ; W. P. Harrison, D.D., secreta-ry; Wils Williams, assistant secretary;Judge Jamos Whitworth, treasurer; BishopH. i. Mclyeire, l v. aimer, uiNashville, and James G. Carter, ofLouisville. Kv.
