THE SECOND SESSION.
Work for the Last Meeting Of tho
Forty-Ninth Congress.

Work for the Last Meeting Of tho
Forty-Ninth Congress.
The second session of the Forty-ninth Con-
gress has great deal Of work to do, and
very little time in which to do it. The first
session lasted nearly eight months, from De-
cember I, 1885, to August 5, 1886. The Sec
ond session will last less than three months,
from December 6, 1856, to March i, 1887.
The holidays must come out Of tic session,
and perhaps a great consumption of time
will have to be allowed for speeches on the
labor question as connected with general
politics.
More than $4,000 bills aud joint resolutions
were introduced into the two Houses during
the first session. or the e fewer than thou
sand became laws Various pension vetoes
will confront Congress, to begin with. There
is the question OF the fisheries, which has
been under consideration by Senate COM
mttee during tho recess; Our Mexican di-
plomucy, as illustrated by the Cutting case,
will doubtless call for review. The Pan
Electric investigation will quite surely occupy
attention. There are various bills to
allot land in severalty to Indians,
and to provide for throwing open O
part Of the Indian Territory to white settle
mcnt. Several important land grant for
TEXTURE DlllS await CONSIDERATION, as does
also the bill prohibiting Congressman from
acting as attorneys to land-grant railways.
There is O Mexican pension bill now
suspended between the S,nate and tho
House, while several other costly bills
for pensions and for the equaliziug of
bounties will probably try to get hearing
There are resolutions for Investigating strikes
and the laGor problem which may take up
time, even if they lead to nothing. The
tariff pro je is and the financial measures are
legion, and doubtless more of them will be
introdu ed.
The bill to increase the efficiency Of the
Consular service is likely to be amended so
rs to call for still larger expenditures. The
army hos its Logan bill, which hos passed
the Senate, aud its ManderSon scheme
for increasing the infantry. The navy
has b lis for an enlisted mans
retired list, for q deposit system for
seamen, and so on. There is the additional
legislation against polygamy to be taken up,
the International copyright measure,
the Eight-hour bill, the Uniform Bank
ruptcy bill. Mr.. Ingalls, project to
change inauguration day to April 80
may claim q place. Mr.. Hoa-,s for
increasing the length Of sessions by having
Congress assemble in October aud November
in alternate years. The Free Ship bill, the
Interstate Commerce, Mr.. Frye's Subsidy
bill for carrying tho ocean mails,
thu Grant Monument bill, the Eenne-
pin Canal bill, and the Eads Ship Canal
bill will watch their chances for legislation.
The bills to a limit Dakota and Washington.
may be urged strongly, in view Of the close
array Of parties in the Senate.

Careful observers assert that the postal

indications of the conditions of the busi-

movement of the most substantial and
steady character, free from the unstable
nature of a boom, but Indicative of a
gradual reawakening from period Of
business inactivity.

she was cured Of those troubles:

for ten years or more for weak back
(spinal atfeotion) and weak lungs, and I
can say with perfect truth that / have

/ Presby terrain Chronicler: Mitchell uni
yersity, known as the college of the M
II. church in south Dakota, though not
yet receiye' by the conference, has the
most magnificent building of all the
UNCONVENTIONAL or christian schools of
Dakota. It has also the most maqnif-
cent debt--over $40, 900.
A number of M. E. churches were
hniIs in the Hn-cn a:s...;;o.. the past
year and five were dedicated. Three or
four are now building. There have been
four camp meetings in this district and
q number OF revivals which have in
creased the membership 800. The col
l%ections for missions were doubled.
Rev. In. Pardee, it is said, knows
more about the Dakota conference and
in fact all of Dakota Methodism than
perhaps any other man in Dakota and
much regret is expressed over his fail
ing health, which has compelled him to
resign o part of the conference and
christian work that devolved upon him.
Canton Advocate: The protracted
meetings that have been in progress at
the Methodist church for some time past
have been characterized by deep and in
cfeasing interest, and under the able
leadership of Rev. j. @. r. Layton, of
Iowa, assisted by Rev. Oake and Rev.
Soule, bid fair to accomplish much
good.
The Presbyterian young folks Of
Alpena held q corn festival last week.
The rooms were decorated with corn
stalks, corn was served for refreshments,
cooked in every conceivable style. Some
one sang, "Fhe Cows are in the Corn"
with q corn.et accompaniment and some
one else read blessing the Corn Field"
and a general good time was the result.
The dedicatory exercises OF the new
M. b. church at Diana, which occurred
the 10th inst. were In charge OF Rev. 1.
N.Pardee, of Mitchell, who preached two
eloquent sermons. The church cost
$1,000 and was built under the super
vision of Rev. A. f. Thompson, who is
called q natural church builder. Rev.
FL. N. Smith. of Ohio, will have charge
of the curouit.
Rev. N, o. Tyohson, who has been
pastor of the Baptist church at Dane.
vile, Turner county for eleven years has
gone to Dell Rapids where he will take
charge of the Baptist church of that
place. Under Mr.. Tychson's direction
the church OF Daneville has grown from
no house of worship and a very small
congregation to o large body of earnest
christian workers and the largest and
finest country church in Turner county.
Rev. Hartsough, presiding elder OF
the Yankton district, in his report to the
Methodist conference at WATERFOWL
said: "Church debts have been dimin.
ished, three new churches have been
dedicated, and ona church has been
richly refitted and parsonages have been
built. There have been quite a number
of revivals in the Yankton district
during the year" There are twenty
four charges in this district and the elder
held over 100 official r~eetings
the year. He has travelled |
during the year over $4,000 miles, and
slept in 26o different beds. On the
whole. the Yankton district has made
advancement and there gre hopes for
greater success next year.
