There have been calamity talkers ever
since Columbus sailed across the eis and
dlscoverel Americ.v Tbora were en I amity
tulker-i that encourazed mutiny on ship-
board. There were" calamity talkers that
landed him in prison for the country
he discovered. When Washington was
lighting the battles of the revolu
tion there were calamity talkers In his army.
When Washington was president of the United
States there were calamity talkers who said
that ho wanted to become kinj. When the
Immortal Lincoln was crushing out the rebel
lion there were calamity talkers in the north
that ald lie could not no It , and there were
calamity talkers who called the soldiers 1/m-

talker- , whose voice- * were board at every

Mayor Miller took a step last mgbt which
will moat with fafor in the eye $ of every re
spectable citizen. He ordered the Sunday
n'lpht dancei at Germauia ball slopped. The
order is peremptory ana will be enforced to
the latter. These dances have ion ? been a
subject of unfavorable comment. They at
tracted the worst elemoati , both of this city
and Omaha , and the crowd of tough people
of both sexes that has been accustomed tu
congregate there and make tbo night hidfous
until nearly morning has beeu a disgrace
to the city. The placa has become noted as
a rendezvous for young girls who were tan-
ing the first steps inshame&ad Instance bavo
been known when a mother stood at the ea-
traiiro and beged in vain for some ono to go
in and take her daughter away from the men
and women who were endeavoring to ruin
her. Since the new administration came
into power It ba& been generally expected
that the place would be shut up on Sundays
at least , nnd Mayor Miller's action is univer
sally approved.

Lively Discussion of a Novel Proportion at
tlio I.nyuicnS Conference I.aitMght
Where the Delegate * May Ho
Found Thli Mouth.
Tbo meeting of lay delegates to tbo Meth
odist general conference hold at the First
Metbodlst cbnrch last night proved to bo
something of a starter of itself.
Very lew of tbo laymen know wben they
went to tbo church wbat tbe object of
tbo Keeling was , but tbey bad not
been tbero moro than twenty minutes until
a pmt7 Rooa sized confercnca bad broken
loose risbt tbero. About 100 of tbe lay dele
gates wera present , and after electing Mr.
Field , postmaster of Philadelphia , as chair
man and Mr. Young of Nortb Dakota as sec
retary , tbo meeting proceeded to tbe dis
cussion of seine very interesting questions.
The chairman requested Dr. Jshn E.
Jonei of tbe laymen's association of Phila
delphia , to state to the delegates tbo'object
for whicb tbe meeting waj called. Dr.
Jones said tbat tbo laymen cf Philadelphia
had been discussing for some lirno tbe p os
sioillty of securing more power ana in-
11 lien ra in toe general conference than that
wblcS they usually exercised. Tbe laymen ,
hi aiavoro 01 a rule unfamiliar with tbo
working * of general conferences and worn
not personally acquainted witn tbe blsbops
as the ministerial dolcgitos were , anil for
thi < reason tbe laymen at a rule ( ailed to ex
ercise tbat iniluenco in tbu conference delib
erations tbat their tntorusts really demanded
Mionlil Have 31 ore 1'oirrr.
It was also thn belief of tbo Philadelphia
laymen tbat tbe time bad come for them to
BSU for equal representation with tbo minis
ters in tbe general conference ? . Tbe Idea of
there only being lXl ! laymen to 3. > 9 ministerial
delegates in tbe general conference baa
bejus to appear ridiculous to tbo minds of a
good many laymen So thin meeting of tbe
laymen had been called before tbo confer
'
cn'co root in order tbat Ibn laymen might
present a requen for tbo privilege of bolns
sc.ite-1 iu , i UoJy separate from thu ministers
in tbe conference , nnd also to express a do-
iiru for equal representation in tbe uoxt gen
era t confereuce.
Half u dozen delegates worn on their foot
tn en instant trying to set the eye of tbo
chairman to speak upon tbe quettion , and
Mr. bblnUlo of Kentucky surxoeded m gain
ing tbe door. Ho Is an experienced confer
ence delegate , bavlnsr attended five general
conferences prior to this , and wbal bo says
natural ! ) ' carries a irocxl Uo.il of weight. H a
was vary much oppood to tbo idea of tepar-
alcKuatinK. Ho tbougat it would look like
antagonism and dissouaion to have tbe minis
terial ami tar delegates separated on ' .be
conference lloor. Air Sbloklo's remans
teemed to carry conviction to tbe tnindi of

there was something to follow tbat turned

The republican convention at Kosrnny was
hittdo up of a grand body of men. The en
thusiasm , which ut times st-omed to rulso thereof
roof from the building , was but an evidence
that their hearts were filled with patriotism
mid thai they knew no party out tlio repub
lican party. And that they knew no princi
ples hut the principles of the grand old party.
They had como to.-othor from every county
In tlio state and yet they spoke hut one bon-
tlineut. They represented all thu Industries
of the state , yet iboy had but ono common
purpose und that purpose was to look after
the welfare and prosperity of our common
country ,
Tbe Kearney convention was not a fire

It ipruog froot tbo people and holds Itself

It started out by s.iyln ; that the men who
labor snull have compensation , and that com
pensation paid In honest money II started
out liv suylnz that no human neln,1 should bo
bound In chains. It w.is born with the
thought tbat all men had souls nnd hearts
It knew tnat the stroke of the ia > h upon the
buck of the black man was as painful as It
would have been upon the back of the white
man. It know that the heart of the colored
mother wa * as full of materu.tl care and sub
ject to the same pangi of ruined affection as
the hearts of tne white mothers. It .leutnod to
cather tbe Inspired thought that caraf from
God , that mea be Ion ; to themselves. When It
freed 4.MMWJ slaves It dignified luelf ; It dlg-
nlSud tbe nation ; it Immortalized Its zreat

If the republican party had never performed
any ereatdeed sae this one. It U entitled to
the respect and gratitude and support of tbe
pcoplu. It did more than that. It was the
central power around which was crystallzed
the patriotic fervor ot that crand army
of soldiers that crushed out tbe rebellion.
From that day to this It has never forgotten

K gathered up the dissevered und broken

It restored the monetary 'system of the

He believed tbct if the laymen wnro seated
to themselves nnd the ministerial deiozntes
to themselves , then the laymen would have
an equal cbunce with the preachers to te
beard in discussion , for the presiding officer
would certainly recogniyo tbo two sides of
tbo house alternately. Mr. Murray did not
accuse the bi-bop'i with partiality , ha
thought tboy could uot help recrgnlzing the
mlnistors moro frequently , when tboyvero
all seated together , simply because the min
isters were more accustomed to speaking aud
understood better bow to get tbe eye of the
chairman. It wa * natural for the chairman
to recognize tbe man whoso name ho could
call wboro half a dozen rose together. Ho
was Jtrongly iu favor ol the separate seating
scheme.

Ex-Governor Evacs of Colorado then ad
dressed the meeting. He was very much in
favor of separate seating for 'bo lay dele
gates. His experience bad been that It was
very different for a layman to secure recog
nition on tbo conference lloor. Tne confer
ence , bo said , made a business of taliilng ,
and the ministerial delegates usually succeeded
'
ceeded in doing a very Urge part of It'
After several speeches pro and con the resolution

the discussion arose , by Mr. Shaw of Iowa
for the purpose of requesting the conference
to seat the lay delegates separately , was put
and carried by u vote of 74 to ' . ' 4.
Tbe meeting taeti adjourned to moot ngnin

that the layraeu will have several very Inter
