THE PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD.
important Work to be Done by
the Coming Synodical Session.

important Work to be Done by
the Coming Synodical Session.
The Minneapolis Journal says many
important matters are to come before
the Presbyterian synod, which meets in
annual session in that city this week.
The synod will be in session Thursday
evening, Friday and Saturday. There
will be over 200 delegates in abundance,
all portions OF the state being represent
ed. There are five presbyteries in the
state and the delegates lin attendance
will represent over II 600 communicates.
Two specially important questions are
to. be considered among others. These
are the proposed revision of the West
minister confession of faith and the
division OF the presbytery. The fact
that the Rev. ). M. Campbell, one of
the leaders for a revision Of the confess
ion, has left Minneapolis will probably
take something from the spirit Of the
discussion on this subject. The Sunday
rest movement will be considered;
petition will be presented urging con-
gressionai aid for reducing Sunday work
in the the postal service; the non-partI-
san Woman's Christian Temperance
Union will probably be Endorsed, and
many reports viii be made on matters
of church interest Thursday evening
there will be a sermon by the retiring
moderator, after which his successor
will be elected On Friday reports will
be made, and these, with discussion and
business, will occupy the remainder Of
the sessions.
During the year just passed 1877 Pres
byterian Sunday school have been
organized. Tine reports will show that
the PresbYtery of st. Paul gives more
to benevolent purposes per capita than
any other presbytery in the world.
During the past year there has been
given in the state to home missions $751;
9l6; to foreign missions, $26,150; for
congregational purposes, SI47, 585. The
total for all purposes is $305,646.

Catarrh Can't be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATION, as they

Catarrh is blood or constitutional dis
ease, and in order to cure it you have to
take internal remedies Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, and acts direct

Halls Catarrh Cure is no quack medI-
cine. 1t WAS prescribed by one of the
best physicians in this country for years,
and is regular prescription. 1t is COM

EVERY indication points to Chicago as
the place for holding the worlds fair in
1872, and it is pretty well assured fact
that the Minnesota delegation IN con-
gress will vote as unit for the Western
metropolis. Mr.. j. J. Hill has just sub
scribed $25, 600 TO the Chicago guarantee
fund and with the $500, 200 subscribed by
the Brewers Association the total fluid
to date amounts to $S,OOO,OO0. 1t is an
nounced that sixteen Ohio congressman
have pledged their votes to Chicago, and
it is believed that goodly number of
New England members will favor that
city. Chicago is by all means the place
to hold the fair.

If the statements of Senator Hampton
and Representatives Breckenridge and
McCreary are 10 be believed, the policy
of the Democrats in the coming session
of Congress will be one of obstruction in
case the Republicans introduce a meas
ure for change of rules governing Con-
gress. So much has been expected by
the country. But the people will not
hold the minority guiltless If it delay
needed legislation by the tactics of OBJ
struction. There are matters of great
import to be acted upon; suppression OF
trusts, regulation of the surplus, revision
of the methods of collecting revenue
coast and harbor defenses, naval rehab.
ilitation, readjustment of pensions, i'm.
provement of waterways. If these
great projects be delayed by the factious
fighting of a minority to obstruct the
passage of rules needful to a speediel
transaction of bushes the voters will see
to it that the Republican majority is in
creased to a degree that will make OBJ
structive tactics vain. AS the Inter-
Ocean says, the temper of the people il
not favorable 10 bulldozing policy OF
the part of minority.

Ex-Gov. McGILL evidently earnestly
intends to keep ont politics for few
years at least. When queried by a
reporter Yesterday regarding political
matters, Mr.. McGili replied.
"Nothing-abosolutely nothing, I'm
in business and tending TO it, and dc
not know what moves are being made
on the political checkerboard. I'm not
chewing the cud o! disappointment,
either, but am medltatively looking On

he is entitled the privilege Of escaping
further criticism in connection with q
desire to compicate the next guberna-

THE twin city jockey CLUB is going to
have another meeting next wear. The
secretary announces:
"Instead of offering extra inducements
TO get the big stables to come, as we were
obliged to do this year, we shall find
them coming here in advance of the
meeting to train and get the horses in
trim. I'll wager that there will be 200
horses on the track 10 days before the
meeting begins"
That will be very convenient, for it
will be remembered the big induce
ments offered last spring only humbug-
ged the people, as the 'big stables"

charges of dishonesty which are made
against HIM by men who certainly are
not generally considered good friends of

the late state fair in the following high
terms:
do net hesitate to pronounce the
quality of the exhibit, especially so far
as the agricultural and stock-producing
features of the fair were concerned, as
being worthy of the great agricultural
state of Minnesota. l think that it re-
flected credit not only upon the man
ment of the fair, but upon the agricult-
urits and stock-raisers of the state.
feel that can say, also that your fair
grounds surpassed in their beauty and
in their arrangement anything that |
have ever seen in this country. They
were constant delight TO me, and your
society and your state have perfect right
to be proud of its possessions in this
line.

WANT WATER MAINS.

TO report at the adjourned meeting to be
held tonight.
WANT WATER MAINS.
The FIRST matter of importance was the
reading of a number of petitions from
property holders in different parts of
the city for the immediate extension of
tire water nTuins into such localities. The
neighbOrhoods represented by petitions
We're State street, Clark and Pleasant
streets, West Front to Sibley street in
West Mankato, Liberty street, Lincoln
and Lewis streets, Center and Byron
streets. Though no petition was pre-
scented Aid. Henlein stated that North
Fifth and North Sixth street residents
wanted water extensions. All of the To-
calities mentioned were described as
needing water supply very badly and
promising that the extensions asked
would be profitable to the city. There
was considerable discussion INDUCED in
on the matter, some members seeming
to be in favor of making immediate
moves and others counselling delibera-
ton. 1t was at last decided to refer the
matter to a special committee consisting
of Aids. Schroeder, Pond, Hillesheim and
Johnson who were instructed to look
over the ground to-day and report at
this evenings meeting as to what locali
ties are in most pressing need ola water
supply. The matter ofpipe was brought
up, as was also that of the sale of the
bonds recently voted. Engineer Lilly
reported that he had secured prices of
two firms and expected others to-day,
and thought he could tell the council to-
night where the pipe could be secured
cheapest. The mayor stated that he
had been informed that there was not
likely to be any difficulty in selling the
bonds at par.
