Washington dispatches indicate that the meet- ing of Congress has drawn to the capital many people who are in search of offices under the incoming democratic President. Among there are men who seek positions in the cabinet. They must have a strangely deformed notion of the fitness of things. They must also have a very limited knowledge ot Presic ent-elect Cleve- lan‘’s character. Personal electioneering at Washington during the three months before the next President will be inaugurated will hardly do much to commend any man for place. It willin most instances prove a ready means of showing how entirely untit th@ applicant is for any position with a dignified and business-like administration. The puvlic has been made heartily sick of that kind of thing in the past. It is quite certain to meet with much discourage- ment in the future. It is too early for people in Washington or anywhere else to know what President Cleveland will do. There are some things, however, which it is certain he will not do. “It is clear already that the merely self- seeking politician will have small chance under the new administration. The country has been long enough under the direct political influence. It has Invited and will cordially weicome a busi- ness administration. President Cleveland is pretty certain to want around him men who have an idea beyond serving themselves. The pice nantes is not of this kind, and the place- unter will easily find this out when it is too late tosave his feelings. ——$—$e-___ Industrial Schools for Colored Youths.

Lalla 0 Te Sl THE METHODIST CENTENARY. Opening Proceedings in Baltimore Toe day. Baxrmore, December 10.—The centennial cons ference of Methodism assembled this mourning at Mt. Vernon church, one of the mest beautiful and costly church edifices in the land, located on Nt Vernon square, under the shadow of Washington monument, A very large number of delegates Were present, and the church was crowded to Its ‘utinost extent, many having been unable to gain admission. Bishop Andrews, chairman of the gen- era) executive committee, called the conference to order, and, on bis nominatio Granberry Was chosen presiding officer bt to-day’s session. ‘The venerable Dr. Joseph Cummins read the Scrip- ture lesson from Isalan, chapter 62. THE CENTENARY HY3N, for the occasion by the Rev. 8. K. Cox, by the entire body 0 delegates, the audience uniting, as follows: ‘Thou God of Providence and Grace, Our Fathers’ God in days of old, Allke to us reveal Thy face, And all Thy wondrous Love unfold. ‘We come to magnify Thy name, With joyful lips Thy Praise to sing. To-day as yesterday, the bees ‘To ‘Thee our tribuve song we bring. With Thy rich favor deign to Crown ‘The meeting of Thy servants here; Make to Thyself a great repown ‘On this our Centenary year. For all the past and prospered days, A hundred years of gracious power, Our Evenezer here we raise— For Thou hast helped us to this hour, Grateful, we own Thy guiding hand By which our Fathers first were led Which brought them to tus goodly land, And then their Holy mission sped. For all the goodness Thou hast shown, For all the wonders Thou hast wrought, For all we've heard, and seen, and known; Help us to praise Thee as we ought, Planted by Thee by Thee we've grown, ‘The littie one becomes a host; Thegiory be to Thee alone— To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! composed And may the Century to come Witness new wonders of ‘Thy grace; May mighty works through us be done, ‘To honor Thee, 2nd Biess the race. ‘The singing was followed by prayer, concluding ‘With the Lord’s Prayer. Bishop Andrews announced that the Bible from. which the lesson had been read was once the prop- erty of John Wesley. After the appointment of a committee on creden- tals, 1t was decided tnat vacancies in the deleza- pe and in the lists of substitutes be filled by the shops. Bishop Foster, D, D., read the second lesson for the day from the 17th apter of St. John’s Gospel.
