THE CENTRE OF POPULATION.
Some Noticeable Features of its Yearly
Progress Westward.

WASHINGTON, March ). = The Census
Office has prepared an interesting bulletin
on the centre Of population, which states
that by the eleventh census the centre OF
population was in 1890 in the following
position: Latitude 80 degrees, II minutes,
sc seconds; longitude SIS deg, 80 MIN,
30 sec In ten years the centre of popula-
ton has moved westward 53 min, Is sec,
or about fortv-cight miles, and northward
min, IS sec, or about nine miles. 1t
rests now in Southern Indiana little west
of south Of Grecnsburg, the county seat
of Decatur county, and twenty miles east
of Columbus.
The closencss with which the centre OF
population, through such rapid westward
movement as has been recorded, has chung
to the parallel of 80 degrees Of latitude
cannot fail to be noticed. The most north
crn point reached was ut the start i'll 49,.
the most southern point was in 1850, the
preceding decade having Witnessed rapid
development of population in the South
west. Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi,
and Louisiana having been admitted as
States, and Florida annexed and organized
as a Territory. The extreme variation i'll
latitude has been less than nineteen
minutes, while the hundred years OF re-
cord have accomplished movement OF
longitude of nearly so degrees.
Assuming the westward movement to
have been uniformly along the parallel OF
80 degrees latitude, the westward move
mcnt of the several decades, has been as
follows: l790-lS00, II miles; lSG0-lSl0,
81 miles; 1S10-1S20, 80 miles; lo20-lS3O,
80 miles; IS3O-lS4O, 30 miles; lS4O-looo,
81 miles; IS50-lS60, 81 miles lSG0-1Sl0,
u miles; lS70-1SS0, SO miles, and 1850
1890, Is miles, a total westward move
mcnt of 505 miles. The sudden accelera-
ton of movement between $50 and lo6O
was due to the transfer of considerable
body of population from the Atlantic to
the Pacific coast, twelve individuals IN
San Francisco exertng as much pressure
at the then pivotal point, viz, the crossing
of the SD meridian and the 39th parallel,
as forty individuals at Boston,

THE CONFESSION OF FAITH.
4 Statement Regarding tho Recent Work
of the Revision Committee.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March DIR. W. E
Moore, Secretary of the Presbyterian
General Assembly's Committee on the re-
vision Of the Confession of Faith, which
held its second session at Washington
Feb. l6, says:
1.-The same method was pursued as at
the sessions in Allegheny, so that the en-
tire confession was revised and attention
given to the answers of the Presbyterics
on each chapter and section designated
by them The work done and tentatively
adopted at Allegheny was passed in review
and confirmed, or changed as deemed
best. The committee thus revised Chap
ters I.-XVI. The remaining chapter were
taken at these sessions and changes ten
tativcly made were finally adopted as the
mature Judgment Of the committee.
The changes, climinations, or additions
arc chiefly in Chapter IS, Chapter Ill,
3, 4, 5, 6; Chapter ~, !; Chapter VI, a;
Chapter VII, 81, 5, 6; Chapter n, 2, 3,
4; Chapter XI., l-3; Chapter NV, l;
Chapter XVI, I; Chapter MI, 4 Chap
ter XXIII., 3; Chapter XX1V., 3; Chapter
NV, 6; Chapter MIN, 2, and Chapter
MN, 2.
1.-THE general desire expressed by the
presbyterics in their answers to the over
lures, for more explicit statement of
the love of God for the wcrld, for the
sufIiciency of the atonemcnt and free offer
of salvation to all men,, for a recognition
of the Churchs duty to evangelize the
world, for statement of individual re-
sponsibility for salvation, and fora fuller
statement respecting the person and
work of the Holy Spirit, the committee
sought to meet by the preparation of two
new chapters, one, of the work OF the
Holy Spirit to follow Chapter VIII, of
Christ the mediator; the other, of the
universal offer of the Gospel to follow
Chapter *, of the free will
"Thcse chapters meet most of the suS-
cestons in the answers of the presby-
tcrics, and make many of the changes
asked for in other chapters unnecessary.
It's conclusions were reached with har-
mony, and its report will be neither of a
majority nor of minority, but of the
Revision Committee. The question Of
publishing its report before the time OF
the meeting of thcncxt Assembly, which
was left to The discretion of the COM
mittcc, was fully considered. 1t was UNI
animously agreed that we do not print
any part of our report prior to the meet
ing of the next Assembly. with the sus-
gestion that The work of the committee be
referred to the presbylcrics for their con-
sderaton, but not as All overture for final
action; that the prcsbytcrics he requested
to take up the report of the committee at
their full meetings, carefully consider it,,
suggest any changes that they may deem
desirable and forward the report of the
same to the Secretary of the Revision
Committee by Dec. /, 1891; that the COM
mittcc, subsequently act upon these SUI 6
gestions Of the p4esbyteries and make
final report to the Assembly of 1892"

SUNDAY LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Judge Rhea, OF Bristol, Decides the Law
Prohibiting the Movement Of Trains
on Sunday Void.
bristol Courier.)

tBrlSt0l COurlc!.l
The Hastings Court of the city Of Bris-
toll, Va, convened yesterday morning at
$3.50 o'clock and the case of the Common
wealth vs.. Norfolk & Western Railroad
Co., for running frcightstrains on Sunday,
which was begun the day before, was re-
sumed. 1t was proven that on the 18th
day of December, 1890, several freight
trains arrived in Bristol over the Norfolk
Western railroad loaded with mcrchan-
disc, coke and coal consigned to parties
in Tennessee, Alabama and other States.
1t was contcndcd by defendants counsel
that these trains were loaded with arti-
clcs subject to the Interstate Commerce
law, hence not subject to the Virginia
statute prohibiting certain classes of
freight trains from being run on Sunday.
The Court gave the following instruction
to the jury, who brought in verdict
mot guilty.
"The Court instructs the jury that no
State can impose any restriction upon the
transportation Of freight or any article of
commerce between different States Of the
United States or any foreign State or
country; and that any law imposing such
restriction is repugnant TO the constitu-
ton of the United States and therefore
invalid.
If therefore the jury believes from the
evidence that the train or trains, run for
