ALF. A MILLION DOLLARS Tho Amount Required to Build a Rail- road to Yankton, CHICAGO CAPITAL WILL DO IT, The Meeting at the Board of Trade Rooms Last Night—A Most Lib- eral Proposition Made—Other Local News. A Road Will Be Built. Nearly two hundred substantial bus- men, of whom fiff re representa: tive citizens of Yarkton, Wayne, Wisner, West Point andother cities and towns northward, and the other one hundred and fifty members of the board of trade resentative Omahans, heard the n of J. E. Young and associates to build a railroad from ti city to Yankton in eizhteen months for $500,000, at the board of trade chamber last eve- ning. All rose and voted to accept that proposition 1if it should prove to be sub- stantial. It Mr. Young satisfies a commit- ttce who were named by this meeting that his proposition is made in good faith and that he has the money to earry it out; that after the road is built it will be operated 1n such a way that it will afford honest competition for Wayne and other Nebraska towns interested, with the Northwestern, and that it will be by a Sompany which will not discriminate against Omaha in favor of Chicago—if he can demonstrate these things to the com- mittee the road wiil be commenced in- ide of six! and aha's great nced of a north and south morou{zhlum will be answer A wounderfully rich territory which is this city's rightful com- mereial field will be opened. The corn and hogs of the Mi ivalley, the wheat of the Jim river and the cattle of the Sioux resery: 1 be brought to the market of the city and exchanged for the fruits and products of the sunny south and old Mexico. y days, TING Presiden of the board of trade, call the mecting to order at 8:30 o'clock. The report of the committee appointed on Monday cvening to confer with railroads and parties who had prop- ositions to make regarding = the construction ot a railrond from Omul to Yuankton was called for and in respanse Mr. R. Patterson, the secretary, made a verb report. Tho committee had received no !)ropo. tions from railroad companies. Hon. John A. McShane had appearcd on behalf of the Milwaukee company and had asked the postponement of action on this matter until the question of construction of a bridge across the Missouri river at this point by that com- }mny had been determined by a decision rom the secretary of war. If the sec tary of war should decide in favor of the Milwaukee company, 1t would at once commence the construction of a bridge to cost 300,000, and 250 miles of railroad in Northern Nebraska, The committee was advised that J. E. Young, of Chicago, and a syndicate of capitalists had a Prooosition to present to the meeting. ‘The report was received and the subject declared open for discussion. The first speaker was Judge Campbell of Yankton. He dilated upon “the richness and won- dgrful possibilities of development of the country l% ‘F between his city and Omaha, which a direct line would” open, He declared that an area two hundred miles square in Nebraska and Dakota would contribute to the business of such a road and send over it more hogs, and cattle, and _corn, and wheat “than are now sent to Omaha by all other ..ronds. Omaha shouid be the gateway north and south as well as the gateway _east and wesr, Its peolulc oughtnot to rest content with being only the eastern termi- nus of roads running to tho west. He said that the time is coming when the north and gouth travel along the Missouri river will be more important to the trade cen- ters than the east and west travel can be. ‘With such a sys igation may play no unimportant part and Umaha may be- come the distributing point_of all’ the products of Mexico and of the north. It must not be forgotten by the people of Omaha that the country north of them , is growing rapidly —and with wonderful rn}ih!ilvV in_richness. The time was « when the belt in which Sioux City and Yankton can be found was thought'to be | too far north for corn. To-day no finer ! corn grows anywhere thun there. The % ipcrease in hogs and all products is won- lorful. Farmers who came there poor a * few years ago are now not only comfort- able, but have their bank accounts. kor “wheat the Jim river valley is unexcelled. By building n raifroad to that country you will obtain access direct to an_area three hundred by ‘four hundred miles in extent. By construction of such a rail- * roud Omaha may become the exchange center of the grain and hogs of the north and the products of Mexico. It is 48 well known fact that north and i'south roads are always less blocked /by suow than ronds east and west. Ho a'then submitted the following proposition wwhl(-h had been handed to him: To the gentlemen representing the inter- ,.#8ts of Omaha in Nebraska, and Yankton in “Dakota, and the country hetween said places: ¢ We,J. E. Young and associates, hereby propose to construct a line of railroad, and geomplete the same ready for operation within Pighteen months from the time aid is voted {"therefore, providing the Wotlu including \.and between sald Omaha and Yankton shall contribute by subsidy the sumn of $500,000 to- ‘wards the construction of said railroad. The “'sai $500,000 thus voted and contributed by «the people aforesaid to be exclusive of any “private donation by mnwrnun‘ persons or corporation which may be contributed toward the coustruction of said railroad. E. YOUNG AND ASSOCIATES, Dated at Omaha, Neb., May 24, 1857, Mr. Iler asked of Mr. Campbell whether Jthe construction of such a road took with t the. construction of shops in Omaha, To that Judge Campbell replied that such seomed to be the inevitable effect of tho construction of such a road, and whila he was unable, personally, to as, sure the questioner of such a condition, was satisfied there were gentlemen ere who could do it. " Mr. H.T. Clark said that he knew of ‘Mr. Young as the gentleman who is in cbur of the construction of the @©Omaha Southern. He regurded him a8 reliable. The Omaha Southern, A8 was known, was now busily engaged in being surveyed and bumlt in Kansas. Behind the gentlemen named are a large sandicate of heavy capitalists who believe in the feasibility of a road from Mexico to the north, and who al- ready bhave organized a company for its construction as far us Omaha, Mr. B. F. Smith stated that the syndi- cate with whom Mr. Young is associated i8 a very rich syndicate, being connected with the Georgia Southern, and Duluth and Lake Shore roads. If they have - placed themselves behind this project they mean business and are perfectly able to build a railroad. Yet there was another oorporation ready to submita proposition the Milwaukee and St. Paul; and if they are successful in obtaining a favainble | decision from the secretary of war thero {8 no doubt but that they will construct across the river hore and build a ratiroad to the north and northwest, uot only touching Yankton, but going further and northwest, 'Tho road ought to v this year and it ought not to be . Yet he was favorable to wait- ing a fow days and give the Milwaukee a chance to make & proposition, He knew i the company was mrrcylnfilvnriuun iern routos. If they should not be ted a favorable decision by the secre- of war thoy vertainly build a bridge across the river, but In_all likelihood at some other point than Omaha. Mr. Clark asked of Mr, Smith: “Is it probable that the Milwaukee wonld have any object in building to Yankton when it already has a road di- rect from Chicago there?'' To this Mr. Smith replied that the Milwaukee had in contemplation three lines in the north and northwest 1f it should obtain permission to cross the rivers which it sought, Doctor Mercer then asked of Mr. Smith whether it was natural that the Milwaukee, with a road already into Yankton and leading to Chicago, should use any endeavors to make Omaha a dis- tributing point, To this Mr. Smith was unable to give a definite answer, but he expressed the belief that the Mflwaukee would never discriminate against this city. Doctor Mercer said: **Asfar as we are concerned we want a road to the south and southeast as well astoward thenorth and northwest. People who have not looked into the matter do not understand that the Omaha Southern 18 an active corporation and already actively at work. By reason of adverse legislation in Kansas last winter which gocs into ef- t on July 1, the whole force of tho Omaha Southern, of which Mr. Young is practically manager, is in that state, After that ¢ if this proposition is ac- cepted, it will come here and move at once. When you get such a rond as these gentlemen propose to build, vou have aroad not only to Yankton, but also to the gulf of Mexico, and not a road which has a shorter line to Chicago. [Applause.] It will have no eastern point to build up at the expense of whole- sale merchants of the young metropolis of the w If this proposition is what it is represented to be—from responsible men—I1 am in favor of accepting it."’ Mr. Clark said that he coincided with Dr. Mercer. Omaha wanted no road east and west, but one north and south, and one that would not be but another to lay down goods in Omaha at Chicago prices, freight added. Dr, Miller rose, as he said, not to argue the, r1\wsliuu but endorse the position which Mr, Clark had taken. And before he said anything more he desired to refer to the impression that certain leading citizens of Omaha--Messrs. Murphy, Barton and Millard—were antagonizing the Milwaukee road by connection with the Council Bluffs and Omaha wagon bridge project. He had talked with Mr. Murphy but that even- ing, and was authorized to say that neither that gentleman nor either of the of the other two mentioned had any wed- ded interest in any wagonway and they would be glad to sce a decision made in favor of the Milwaukee company if such a decision. would lead that company to build a bridge and come into Omaha. It was a matter of sincerc regret to the speaker that the Missouri Pacific gave no romise of immediate intention to take hold of this northern railroad. He dif- fered from some persons in belie mfi that the more Jay Gould had to do_wit| this country the better for us, But he had been assured that while Mr. Gould intended to build a thousand miles of railroad in the northwest this year to keep up with the procession, Omaha and northern Nebraska were not included in the extension. Dr. Miller believed this proposition of Mr. Young's to be a good one. If it were left to him he would accept it in fifteen minutes. [Applause.] He also believed in offering liberal inducements to the Milwaukee. Now was the time to do it. In three years from now it could not be done, and it might be five years after that before it could be done. "Now §600,000 or $300,000 can be voted for the two purposes just like rolling off a lnlz. All collisions on these two projects should be avoided. What now is needed 18 an old fashioned Methodist revival meeting on this subject. Give round subsidies and get the roads to build from Omaha. Enough will build to the city. We want them to build from it. Liberality of sub- sidy and unity among all citizens will ac- complish this. ‘Wilham M, Powers, of Yankton, made a center shot at the proposition to delay until the Milwaukee hrulfie project was settled by saying: Mr. President, the Milwaukee road will be able in two months to get to Chicago from Yankton in nineteen hours. You can judge what advantage a line by that road would be to Omaha,” . Dr. Mercer made a very forcible speech, in which he decried the habit of always procrastinating upon such important matters. He had scen public meetings just as enthusiastic as this one, and just as the iron was hot and they were ready to strike some one had made a motion to wait a day or a few days, and the whole project had died. Now he wanted to see this proposition of Mr. Young's investigated, and, if it was made upon a responsible basis, he wanted to seo it accepted. To bring this subject to a head he moved thata com- mittee of seven be appointed to confer with Mr. Young and ascertain if his proposition was acceptable. The motion qrevailcu and tho chair appointed Dr. Mercer, W. V., Morse, H. T Clark, W. B, Smith, George L. Miller, G. W, Lininger and P. E, Iler. . Upon motion of W. V. Morse a vote of thanks was extended by the board of trade to the ng gentlemen from the north and they were invited to come to ()m‘;mn in eighteen months over the new road. My, Wm. Davis then moved that it was the sense of the mecting that the propo- sition of Mr. Young, if his conditions be found favorable, shoula be accepted. The motion was carried unanimously by a standing vqte and amid applause. The meeting then adjourned subject to call of the chairman.

Judge Ewing's Report on Aid to Col- leges—An Evening With Mis- sion Workers—Fraternal Greetings, Fifth Day. The assembly opened yesterday morn- ing at 9 o'clock, the religious exercises ting until 9:30 o’clock. Moderator Smith occupied the chair. The committee on church polity re- ported that it had received several over- tures suggesting the establishment of tri- ennial assemblies. The recommendation of the committee was that the project was inexpedient at this time. Dr. Marquis, from the committee on bills and overtures, reported that they had received overtures from the presby- teries of New York, New Brunswick, Philadelphia, Dayton, Washington, Jer- sey City, Niagara, St. Paul, Troy and Al- bany on the subject of church union, and suggesting an answer to the publication of the circular from the house ot bishops of the Protestant Episcopal church. He offered the following, which was adopted: ‘That, inasmuch as no communication has been received by the assembly from the sald honse of bishops, no response is called for or appropriate. We recommend, however, that the general assembly express its cordial sympathy with the growing desire among evangelical ehris- tian cliurches for practical unity and co-oper- ation in the work of spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout all the land, We also recommend, ‘That the general assembly proclalm to the christian worlaits statement of the principles ‘whereby, in its iud gment, practical church unity can be realized and maintained: 1. ‘All believers In Christ constitute one body mystical, yet real and destined to grow into the fullness of Him whofilieth in all, 8. The universal visible church consists of all those throughout the world who profess lllle true religion, together with their chil- dren, 3. Mutual recognition and recivrocity be- tween the two bodies who profess the™ true religion is the first and the essential ‘step toward practical church unity. At the request of Dr. Marquis, Stated Clerk Roberts read the circular promul- gated by the house of bishops. Dr. Marquis moved that 1t be referred to the committee on correspondence. Dr. Brown amended that it be referred to the committee on correspondence in conference with the committee on bills and overtures. Carri The committee on polity of the church reported in response to the overtures from a couple of presbyteries that they recommended the establishment of the new synod of the Indian territory. Adonted. The stated clerk read an invitation from Max Meyer, president of the board of trade, inviting the commissioners to a ride over the Belt line to South Omaha and return. Thanks were returned and the invitation was referred to the com- niittee on arrangements to decide upon a time for the excursion. Mr. Martin, of St. Louis, from the com- mittee on concert in_ prayer, recom- mended that the week of prayer be from the first to the second Sunday in Janu- ary; that the last Thursday in the same month be devoted to prayer for educa- tional institutions; that on children’s day prayer be offered for baptized ones and the conversion of X?ulh; that concert vraleer be held in November for the Y. M. C, A. and kindred institutions, and thatthe first Sabbath in November beused for prayer for the missions, The report was received and adopted. Dr. Hays, from the committee on home missions, said he would not read the re- port or the recommendation of the board of home missions, but he would strongly recommend that every commissioner and member of the church get the report and read it for himself, The committee was thankful for the fact that they had 1,465 missionaries, la- boring 1,155 years; 175 new churches, with a membership of 10,812, and the ad- dition of 7,010 members by certiticates ‘There were 133,590 people supplied with the word of God, thirty-tive schools and 212 teachers. " The schools are allin a prosperous condition, He had no regrets to offer save that there had been a failure to ohtain the amount of money originally contemplated. Death had dealt heavily with their laborers during the year— fourteen missionaries and two teachers being the victims; among the former being Rev. Thos. Hay. The wantsof the board were not so numerous. . New towns, sections, and districts were being opened up, requiring increased expendi- tures and more laborers to carry on_tne work, Texns needs twelye, Indian Ter- ritory sixteen, Iowa twenty, the Pacific coast forty-five, Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska forty-five missionaries, and other placesin proportion. The com- mittee calculated that at least 200 mis- sionaries were required. Elders weie charged to renewed enorgy in the collection of funds for the board, which, this year, would require not less than ,000. . The committee fuvored the holding of missionary conventions in the several sections ot the country for the more satisfactory performance of the work in those sections. The committee recommended the appointment of the following gentlemen a8 a central com- mittee to inspect the eldership and to ap- voint others to take in hand the raisin, of the fund of $800,000 for the board: Moessrs. Warner Van Norden, Hon. R. N. Wilson, Geo. Junkins, E. R. Perkins, Wm. Howard Neft, Th Kane, S. M. Breckenridge, W. W. Sperry, W. E. Dodge, Wm. A. W. Wheelock, W. S. Skidmore and Archibald McClure. An- other recommendation of the committee was that of a system of sustentation now in operation in certain sections of New York, whereby each district may strive to support itself. The other recommen- dations of the committee were those re- lating to the work of the women's execu- tive committee, urging the reduction of and several others, Dr. Kendall, secretary of the board, was called and spoke upon the greatness of the work of his organization. He re- ferred to the fact that the expense of the work went op from month to month no matter whether the subscriptions came in or not. . These expenses were about #$50,000 per month, Some months the subscriptions did not come in as literally a8 in others, but the work could not be allowed to drop. They had to wait and look for better months and more liberal contribf®ions. Last year there was & pretty big debt of $150,000, But it was cleared away, although the speaker did not really consider it was a debt. Theyv had a greater indebtedness, $216,000, of the same kind, but the doctor did not lose his slecp over it. He had been ac- customed to such things. He then detailed how, when they had fallen behind npfinrenlly, the Lord, who loved His church better than tney did, came to their assistance in the month November by a contribution of ?1.5,000 more than had ever been offsred in that month before; by a similar contribution in the month of December, a like gra- tuity in January, and an increase of . 000 in February, while m March there was an unprecedented increase of over $50,000, thus redueing that debt oconsid- mbly. The doctor had been told that it was not wise to run in debt when there ry the indebtedness. riends did in that re- always be ableito sfind the funds they needed during ‘those intervals, because they had friends whb were always ready to loan them 50,00 These men always ot their money ‘back, and were always pleased for the Lord's sake, to accommo- date when asked taso so. qun Schaff, of Kansas Cih;, “W‘ paid a tribute to the memory of Dr. Hill, the well-known misbiogary in this section, who died suddenly thst Saturday. Dr, Phraner of New York, Mr. Camp- bell of Ohio, Mr. Burrows of Boston, Dr. Cameron of Denver, Dr. Sheldon Jackson of Alaska, spoke upon the mis- sions in their respective localities. Dr. Hays closed the debate in a warm sPeech, sustaining the board and inspir- ing eyerybody torefiewed effort to raise the $300,000 for the board, Recess, Yesterday Afternoon. The assembly was called to order by Moderator Smith at 2:30, quite a number of commissioners being absent. Dr. Welch, from the judiciary commit- tee, made reports upon appeals from several presbyteries, being those in the case of Charles H. Ellis vs. Mrs. J. H. Patterson of New York; the deposition from the ministry of George N. Smith in the presbytery of Geneva, and of W. In- goldsby in the presbytery of Genessee Valley. The committee recommended that in these cases no further action be taken. In the matter of the complaint of the Rev: H. Bairda aganst the synod of Pennsylvania, for its commendation of the submission of a prohibitory amend- ment to the constitution of that state, the committee submitted a majority and a minority report. The former held that the action of the synod did not contra- vene the doctrine of the church and rec- ommended that no further action be taken upon the matter, The minority report held that the action of the synod was such as to warrant some attention and recommended that a date be set for trial. Motions were made te adopt both re- ports. Dr. Hays questioned the advisal acting upon a subject of such impor as that brought to their attention with so small an audience. He suggested that action be deferred until later. The suggestion was adonted. ‘The question of revising the record- tables to show communicants who had dropped away from church membership, been expelled, died or otherwise disposed of, was reported upon adversely by st Clerk Roberts, on the ground that th ditional columns required for the wo could not be introduced without sacrific- ing some of the columns already in the table. The recommendation was adopted. Dr. Patterson, from the committee on gorrespondence, announced_ that Rev. J. S. Detweiler, of this city was present as a delegate trom the Lutheran general assembly. He suggested that 4:30 o'clock be made the hour to receive the gentlemen. 1t was so agreed. Judge Ewing, from the standing com- mittee on the Presbytérian board of aid to colleges and, achdemies, reported, showing the management of the board was in excellent hands. There were thirty-tive 1nstitwtions under the influ- ence of the board, the value of which was about $1,000,000. ‘The donations during the year had amounted to $27,8%0, com- ing from 1,761 chyrehes. Me offered res- olutions giving thanks to God for His blessing of the work in which they were engaged; cordially recognizing the abil- ity of the ofllcqrp during the past year; calling on all the chugches to take up an annuul subscription far the benefit of the board; commendig to liberal givers the needs of the board, And suggesting the following cl Rey. " Dr, if!ohn Hall, New Yo v..8. J. Nichols, Rev. W. H. H. Roberts, Rov. J. H. Worceter, jr., Rev. John F. Kendall to fill the va- cancy coaused by the retirement of Rev. R. F. Sample, D. L., and the follow- ing laymen: John S. McDonald, W. O. llufilmrt Henry W. Johnson and Dexter A, Knowlton, as members of the board. Dr. Ganse made a forcible address showing the advantages to be derived from the board, the work it had done and the work, which with increased means, it was capable of doing. Mr. Park, of , spoke In favor of the small colleges which are being estab- lished throughout the country. They en- abled young men of limited means to re- cejve an education which could not be secured without an outlay of not less than $700 per year. Inmost instances, the young man who desires to study for the ministry has but very hittle means of isown and frequently is compelled to Tabor to supplement whatever assistunce he may receive from benefactors as poor as himself. Dr. Shaw, of Jersey City, said the ob- ject of the board was a growing cause, it wasan honorable cause, It was nece: Bary that such an influence should be “extended throughout the country. They wanted to plaot their Presbyterian colleges throughout the land. The borrd was the youngest of the assembly, and he wanted them to take it in their arms and cherish it and do everything in their power to make it a success. Francis B, Brown, D. of New York, a professor in one of the theological sem- maries, said that the young men who come to them from the vounger and poorer colleges were made of good stufl, They had not only consecrated hearts and a determined purpose, but also the intellectual gitts which enabled them to become energetic und useful workers for Christ. It was the experience of the Union Theological seminary that she does not get enough of them. It was but rarely that one of them ran the gauntlet of Princeton, McCormick; Lane and Au- burn to reach us, but when he did we are glad to receive him. Hon. N. R. Peckinpaugh, of New Al- bany, believed there was a work to be done mnow by the elders because the ministers could not reach it. The board needed to be sustained not only by money, but also by encouraging words. They wanted this board to be re- membered in all their annual collections. Whenever the word freedmen or home missions was utterdit’i@n that plattorm it was rcceived with peals of applause. The same treatment ought to be accorded the college board of relief. r. McMillen, of Utah, spoke about the college of Mpntana and the need there was of other|ia) higher educa- tional institutions. re was not a place in the country where they had the same population and with so few institutes to accommodate the scholars as Montana. The report was then adopted. Rev, J. 8. Detweiler: was then intro- duced as the dclegate from the evangeli- cal Lutheran synod, #eld in Harrisburg in 1885, bearing /frow} that body fra- ternal greeting te the assembly. He read an addrgss | setling forth this fact and “gowg into details with reference ta. thé doctrinal points held by Lutherans’ That synod repre- sented 4,000 ministers and over 1,000,000 communicants, and these, Mr. Detweiler said, thoufiht a great deal of the Presby- terians and loved them, too, They loved them for the guod they were d.o\ra throughout the oountry. They wish for organic union between all the denom- inations, and he felt that his people would be ready to an{nge in any effort to wage a more successful war against sin, the tlesh and the devil. Moderator Smith then accepted the greeting and voiced the sentiment of the assembly in the gleuura it afforded him to extend right hand of friendship to Detweller, and through him to the synod of which he wa¢ the representa tive. Dr. Burchard, of the committee on mis- pionary board for freedmen, to whom™ was recowmitted the report MAY 25 1887, offered by them yesterday, reported that they had ~ reccived three overtures. LThe first of these was from the Presbytery of Washington City for the abolition of the board of freedinen’s missions and the transaction of its affairs by the boar 1 of home missions. The sce- ond overture was from McClellan, and asked for & consolidation of both the above boards, The third overture was from New Brunswick and asked that the cansolidation be not encouraged. The committee recommended that no action be taken with reference to the first over- ture, and because of the objection which in some places obtaimed, as shown by overtures two and three, that a commit- teo be appointed to inquire into the man- agement of the board of freedmen’s mis- sions and report at the next embly. Calyin Stew ylvania offered an amendment to inquire into the racticability of incorporating the yoards of home and freedmen’s missions. Ie said that the agaression made upon the freedmen in North Carolina was con- siderable; in South Carohna it was less, id in the rest of the southern states it lighter still. If those boards could be consolidated, the speaker held that they could aronse an enthusiasm such as had never yet been experienced in this country. No such work as could be then effected had yet been done in this mis- sionary labor, Among those colored people was to be done the grandest work of evangelization imaginable, because behind them stood the millions ot bla in Africa, who, he thought, could be reached through their people in this country, and in no other w From what he knew had been done, he felt that this work had but just begun. i Dr. Hays said they might disguiso it as they would they find people who were opposed to this con- solidation, who were even supposed to giving to the fund 1f the consolidation should be effected. If the joining of both these boards took place, the assembly would cut oft the channel of supply from each. A motion was made to lay the amend- ment on the table. It was carried unani- mously. Adjourned till to-day. Home Missions. There were about three thousand peo- ple in the exposition building last night In attendance upon the meeting in the in- terest of home missions. Half an hour was devoted to religious exercises, after which Rev. John Hall, D. D., of New York, arose and said that he esteemed it an honor and privilege to be present and meet with them on such an occasion. ‘Che word home was a sweet word. It included in its present sense a family of between 50,000,000 and 60,000,000 million imoplu. ‘They were gathered together as Presbyterians, and in the few remarks which he expected to make he wished to dwell upon the truth and purity of Pres- byterianism. In doing so he did not wish to reflect upon those who bore other reli- gious names, who, while of the same family, were of different parts of the household. ‘There were two things which would tend to make the missions a suc- cess, The first of these was natur- ally which impelled those who were surrounded by the comforts of wealth and life them selves to desire to extend the same to others. The other was the desire to give for God's sake. He was bound to say that twenty years’ residence in these United States with close and frequent in- tercourse with people of other denomina- tions had made him feel more attached to the Presbyterian church. He then en- larged upon the work to be done in_the home mission ficld by Presbyterians, how pastor und people should work together, ow failure to do this led to dispiriting conscquences, creating dis- tress and raising a barrier against the performance of the most laudable work. He cautioned churches to as much as possible rely upon the ves, and not nd upon the assembly or the board, or run to them almost as soon as they get under way. That unfortunately was done but too frequently., These charches get organized by the presbytery and then look for outside assistance, or build their hopes of success upon the influence of some delegate whom they send, perhaps to a wealthy friend in a neigh- boring eity. In this manner a de- gree of weakness is inserted 1n the organization which is likely to re- main in_it. If church members would only put into the affairs of the chureh the intelligence, energy and independence they put into their private affairs, they would relieve the church from many a claim which is now made upon her. Rey. Dr. Irvine, of Chicago, one of the vice presidents of the board, then spoke, confining himself to the idea that it was almost impossible to determine from what place board relief should be cut off, so greatly was 1t needed everywhere. The remedy he proposed was for Presby- terians everywhere to contribute so lib- erally as to make it possible for the board to establish churches everywhere. With that end in view, he suggested that by the céntennial year they ought to raise $1,- 803,000 for the missions instead of $800,- 0 Rev.

New Yonk, May 24.—[Special Telearam to the Bek.|—Sic Charles Tupper, Canadian minister of finance in Canada, at present visiting this city, expressed his views on matters which interest the publie. His first remarks were concerning the visit of O'Brien to Canada, and while he did not go into the subject very extensively, he made his ro- marks sufficiently pointed. *“Oae of the ad- vantages which we think the British system has over the American system,’ he said, *ls that both in England and in Canada parties treat the executive hedd of the nation as be- yond criticism. We attack the responsible ministers of the day of England and in Can- ada we do the same thing, But”—and Sir Charles smiled gravely—*‘we don’t attack the executive head of the country, Fiercely as a controversy may wage between the two par- ties, they all unite in sustaining the execu- tive head, It naturally follows that we dlis- approve very strongly—all parties and all classes of us,—of the departure from that course by any body coming into the country to attack the Queen’s representative, and that in reference to questions that have no relation to Canada or Canadian affairs. At the same time everybody deplores the fact that it Mr. O'Brien had the bad taste and bad Judgment to come to Canada_ on such a mis- sion, he should have been made the nul»liuci of violence by any interference. Such a thing is most unusual for Canada, as it 1S & vlace where the freest speech on all questions is tolerated.” Corneerning the question of commercial reciprocity between the United States and Canada, Sir Charles had a great deal to say, “1t is very much in the interest of the United States and Canada,” he began, “‘that there should be the freest commercial intercourse between the two countries, Canada Is ready and has always been ready to promote that commercial intercourse to the fullest possible extent. But,of course, weare quite aware that unless we can adopt the United States tarifl as between ns and England it would be quite impracticable. 1 mean that it would be impracticable for the United States to con- sent to customs union or free trade between Canada and the United States, as that would really mean free trade between the United States and England. A complete customs union is simply Iupracticable. It would be quite impossible for Canada to adopt a tarift 80 hostile to the mother country. believe that, anxious as 1s her majesty’s govern- mentto avoid the slightest cause of difference with the government of the United States, the time is far distant when the government of England will shrink in theslightest degree from giving a fair and eandid consideration to whatever the claims ot Canada may be.” 8 e Ry A Prominent Soldier Prostrated. SrRINGFIELD, 1L, May 24.—It is reported here to-day that General Charles E. Lippin- cott, of the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Home at Quiney, was prostrated with paralysls yes-. terday.

The peculiar, yet common, complaint known as “that tired feeling,” 1s the result. This feeling can be entirely overcome by taking Iood's Barsaparilla, which gives new life and strength to all the functions of the body. “1 cowd not sleep; had no appetite.
