TO START A RELIGIOUS DAILY.

Methodists Talk of a Paper in Chicago with 1,000,000 Subscribers. It has developed that the Methodists propose someth.ng unique in daily journalism. At a convention of the Epworth League of Northern Wisconsin, at Hudson, a resolution was passed recommending that the Methodist Church of America begin the publicat'on of a Daily Christian Advocate at Chicago, the editorials to be in line •with advanced liberal religious thought, with sensational and objectionable news eliminated from the news columns. It is estimated that there are five million members of the Methodist Church in America, and the promoters of the scheme say that a daily could be started with a million subscribers. The influence of the paper, it is claimed, will be far reaching. Epworth Leagues throughout the country, it is understood, will pass similar resolutions, and the new venture will be launched in March or April.
