The city employes have been voted ten hours’ pay and eight hours' work, ami a number of inclivliiual rr.iunt- fc, turns have made settlemeuls with their a-cn, but the great mass of strikers remain idle. There is but little indication of a strike on the streets. There are no crowds and business seems to be progressing as usual. Orderly processions of strikers have passed through the streets every day, but very pronounced denuncia tion of violence, and particularly socialistic methods, have given to the public a sense of freedom from riot. This feeling has not been shared by the authorities. For several days the tirst regiment of the Ohio National Guard has ClttCAf. case ofM amt a run, Aruie Un til u ha! t lie .

After diverse ar guments and many points of order, tIk previous question was called arid the up peal was allowed. A resolution was adopted that Bishop McTyerie’s manual ol'discipline be referred to the committee to determine what au thority it has in the determination of Un law ot the church. Bishop MeTytrie ap peared to be sensitive to the frequent dis sents from his manual of discipline ex pressed on the floor of conference. He took occasion to make a statement as to the origin and authority of the work al luded to. The bishop said that the book, while expressing the views of his colleagues in tlic bishopric, had no more official au thority than any other bock. A motion was made to reconsider the resolution by which the subject was re ferred to the committee. Col. E. W. Cole, of Tennessee, said that if this motion prevailed lie would offer a resolution that Bishop McTyerie be re quested to write an introduction to his manual, in which he should express the V' eel, Iv ft..:' i *n i V.?

In all iht* churches there are flourishing Sunday schools. Perhaps the attendance upon church services, both in the forenoon and ev« ; ing, is not exceeded anywhere in the country. The rooms of the Young Men’s Unristiun Association are always open- the door stands wide, and young men are cordially invited to enter, and many do so. But church services is not all that brings the populace out. KACII SUNDAY AFTER NOON leads n great number up to Rose Mill on the street cars, and they have a good time of it up there. The babies roll around on the grass, poking their fat legs up toward heaven, and engage with the birds in the trees in very deep controversies aboutt kings bigger folks can’t understand. The nurses, rigged up in their finest ribbons, fed that to he oil Rose Hill of a Sunday afternoon is better than the wildest Sixth ward revel. Mothers, whose afternoon it is to nurse, hie away to the hill, as dear pater familias will certainly hold the little dumpling while on the street cars. Jntho streets and along the avenues we can tell that it is Sunday from a good many things. Young ladies and gentlemen, a>’ well as elders and children, throng the thorough fare, and many young men. give the horses an opportunity of being “stove up” as they drive recklessly through the streets. But with till our short-comings, wh A11 f: NOT SO \V p ’ K ED te- the people <>f a great many other cities, if t hat be any consolation in us.
