PITTsBURe, May 24.-The Synod of the
Reformed Prasf,yie-i~v, Oh arOh convened
at O'Clock this morning, the Rev. DR.. Faris ;
moderator, in the chair
The Rev. r. NJ. Somerviile, Of New York,
presented report Of the Sabbath-school
work, which stated that the only means OF
securing permanent national reform was
commenced by educating children in Sab.
hath.schools.
This ststement was emphatically objected
to, and after a breezy debate the sentence
was stricken out and the report adopted.
The Committee on Temperance reported
through the Rev. T. P. Robb, Of Linton, Ia,
series of resolutions pedging themselves
to secure constitution prohibitional, and de-
nouncing the use of tobacco in any form,
charscterizipg its effect as weakening to die
moral forces, and thus becoming a stumbling
block in the way of temperance reform. All
kinds of ministers and others in the Church
were urged to stop the habit, as the example
set to the young was demoralizing. After
reading the report, on motion it was laid on

The President OF the United States, who
represents the lowest psrlissnship of the
party that elsctsd him. Ia determined to,
strengthen the political power OF the Trsas-
ury Department by giving it the dispensa-
tion of the 100000 appropriated by Con-
gress for the prevention Of the introduction
OF yellow.fe fever. The Marine Hospital Ser
vice is the agency through which this is to
be done, an agency that has about as much
fitness for it az it has for superinlend-
ing the cleaning Of the streets of Washing
ton or New York, or undertaking the sani-
tary work of the continent Hospital service
is one thing, and quarantine and sanitary in
spection another, and they bear about as
much relationship TO each other as the work
of the ordinary practicing physician does to
the sanitary inspection or quarantine
service of New York. Nothing but
the most bareGsced partissnship could
induce this triliDg with the dear
est interests OF the people of the Mis-
sissippi Valley in the face, too, Of their sol-
emn protests sgainst repetition Of the farce
Of last summer, played in the very teeth of
decimating epidemic. But the sanitary
authorities of the thirteen States that pro-
tested sgaiust th at farce snd against divert.
ing the yellow-fever fund TO political pur-
poses will not, we hope, be discouraged.
They must "try, try again." They must
keep on trying until the Marine Hospital
Service is confined 10 its legitimate work and
the National Board of Health is re-estab'
lished as firmly as its projectors designed
and the people hoped it would be.

propriate monument on the grave OF Carr.

ance with his directions, made Of the same
rough stone that the columns of his home
were constructed, and the inscriptions are in
