The Constitution of yesterday, re ports what occurrod when Mr, Htevons Went before tile committee as follows: “Hon. 0.11. Stevens, of Terrell, one of the Democratic candidates for Con gress In' the Second district, went; be fore the committee with n hard not for It to crack. “It was the Second district trouble. “Mr. Stevens stilted that the district was now‘threatened by two Demo cratic conventions, and ho would like the committee to settle the trouble by a decision at once. ') “The trouble came about in tills way: The Congressional Democratic Executive Committee met some weeks ngo and After fixing Its yardstick, set July 30 as the date for all counties In the district to select delegates to the Congressional convention. “At first tills seemed all right, and no trouble was anticipated. Hut it was not loug before the County Dem ocratic Executive Committees of the district began to protest/against such action. They declared that the Con gressional Committee had nothing to do with naming the date for the coun ties to aot. That it was customary for the County Executive Committees to select suoh dates. “It became apparent that the Coun ty Exeoutlve Committees would not regard the action of the Congressional Committee, and would go ahead and name a day for the selection of dele gates, as they had always done. “Tills might result in the eleotlon of two sets of delegates, and the question would arise, which set uf delegates was the duly eleoted one? “And which committee had the power to tlx dates for the counties to aot, the County or Congressional Com mittee? “Without a speedy settlement of the matter no end of trouble would result, “Mr. Stevens asked that tho commit tee decide which was the■' proper au thority. “After some dismission of tho mat ter it was decide!) that It was a matter entirely out-of tho province of the State Committee, and Mr. Stevens was advised to carry It before the conven tion to-day. “This he will probably do, and it will no doubt give that body some food for thought.” At tills writing the IIkhald Is not advised ns to whether Nr, Stevens sub mitted his feigned grievance to the convention, but it he did w» feel safe in saying that that body told him in substance what the State Committed told him—that it was nolle of their business.

State Executive Committee toarratigo tho details of to-morrow's convention, Hon. O, II, Stevens, of the Second dis trict, appealed to have the oammlttou Interfere with tho action of the district committee of the Second district in proscribing a test for voters in the Democratic primaries, drawing the line on the Oealnltes and Third l’arty. The cuinmtUcc decided, however, that it had no Jurisdiction in such a case. Here is that same old slander on the Demooratla Executive Committee of the district, which has been denied and disprove!! by tbe Hkkai.p, but which Mr. Stevens and his organs con tinue to use. Wlmt does this great show of party loyalty on the part of Mr. Stevens mean? lie bus no real grievance, and if he hail one he knows us every other Intelligent Democrat must know, that the proper place for him to take It is to the District Executive Committee. But he doesn’t Aippcar to want Ids Imaginary grievance settled. Can it be that he is paving the way for u boll from the district conven tion? Is he making this great dis play of party loyally, with a false Issue for a pretext, so that he may have the color of excuse for defeating a loyal Demooratla nomination? Kcul- ly, it looks that way. (IATUOX.1V IIKI.II'SATTIIi: FAXit. On Sunday night, l)r. Justin D. Fill- ton, of Now York City, a strong lighter Hgiiinst Papal power, preached a sermon on tho topic, “Shall tho Co lumbian Exposition be Romanized?” The congregation which listened to his discourse afterwards passed reso lutions condemning Mrs. Palmer for inviting the Pope to make a display of Catholic relies in the Woman’s De partment at the Fair. This seems a most senseless and use less raking tip of a difficulty that will do uo good if raked up. Dr. Fulton inny predict all kinds of dire disasters to the Republio from the Catholio church, hut uo attempt should be made to debar any kind of exhibition they see tit to make at an exposition embracing so much in its aims as tbe Columbian Exposition— and that, too, after an invitation had been extended to them tq make the ex hibition. by Journalists in South. —Editor ‘Albert Whiter, isville Evening News, and of Moses lit l!h> wilderness and the ap parition of Jehovah in the•burning bash,-and 1 ho departure of-.tlv Israel ites from Egypt.

' Tub Methodist Conference at Omaha la having a lively time of it. The question Hint tiow disturbs them Is whether women bImI) be eligible as lay delegates to the Methodist Gen eral Conference. The movement for the admission of women tlrst took definite shape at the la«t General Con ference, held at New York in 1888. It had before that been somewhat agitated in various churches, and five women nppenred at the Conference as delegates from five annual confer ences. The commotion created has not yet been forgotten, and tbe discus sion of the question tlion was heated and somewhat bitter. The supporters of the movement were obliged to yield snil tho women were not allowed a place In the convention. The present Conference has taken no Anal action in the matter, and It is believed they will not, although the question will he vigorously disoussed. tub vii a.ii fa nuts of siooso DXMTRIOT POI.ITIVM. In referring to the unfair treatment wbloh Mr, Stevens, his favorite candi date for Congress, had received from some of the newspapers of the district, Editor Winter, of the Thomasville News, mndc an exception of tho Her ald, and proposed to dlsousf conclu sions with its editor over a basket of champagne; and now he expresses sur prise that his proposition has carried him to fame. , The Idea of two editors sitting down to a whole basket of champagne all to themselves is more than Editor Rich ardson, of the Columbus Enquirer- Sun, can stand, and he artfully sug gests that the presence of a third party would be not only entirely proper, but necessary, and then mildly hints that ho himself would be suit able and available for such emergency. Here Is What Editor Richardson says t Two wealthy west Georgia—I of the Thomasville _ , Editor Henry Molntosb, of the Al bany Hehald—at the suggestion of the former, have agreed to sit .down together, unarmed, and d’scqsa Second district politics over a basket of cham pagne. wefflfcnot In the Second, and therefore lMBu recognized rights tn tho premium;Ht When we think of two Georgln editors trying to empty a whole basket of wine by themselves, It really makes us elgb at the Otter reck lessness of the profession.; There are a full score of editors in easy reach who, while perhaps net partial to champagne, acquainted somewhat with Its Insidious qualities, would yet, with that well-known esprit de corps that characterizes the members of the Fourth Estate, be willing to sacrifice both stomach and head to prevent these brethren strnliiiiigthemselves in a discussion of Second district politics in the manner proposed. This is not intended ns a reflection on the capacity of either Col. Winter or Col. McIntosh, hut whenever two editors set about eiigulltiig an entire basket of wine it is the duly of somebody to Interfere, Having sounded this little note of warning, we inny proceed to the moral of the incident. It fully sustains the Enquirer-Sun’s complaint against the accuracy of the table of Georgia mil lionaires, recently published by the New York Tribune, which gave lion. Evan Howell us the only newspaper millionaire. Here arc two wire-grass editors who should have been Included, nod there are still others. The political fanipnign is undoubt- edly lively and hot In the Second, but It is a beautiful illustration uf the amenities of Georgia journalism that two fiery editors, supporting opposite candidates, can come together in per- tco.t personal harmony and disuuss their diil'ereuees over a whole basket of champagne. This Is to be Editor Winter's win ing—Hint is, he is to furnish the wine —and, presuming that he intends to do the square thing, we merely sug gest to him that the wine rooms of Albany are well supplied with his favorite beverage, and that wo are just about midway between Editor Richardson and himself. Editor Rich ardson, whose capacity is not to be questioned, will have the call, and whenever there is a lull in the politi cal discussion or ho feels the least dry he will bo expected to say what the Governor of North Carolina said to the Governor of South Carolina, or words to that efl'ect.
