Then the great congregation sang the

ing with .crvor The same scene was en-
acted ut the close, when the British ma
tional anthem was suag-"tiDl Save the
Queen"-the singing if anything being
more earnest than at the opening set
of resolutions had been prepared and
many speeches We're made in their advo-
cacy. They were adopted with a thun-
derous "aye," unanimously.
viii Retain Their Present Position.
The full text of the resolutions adopted
is as follows:
"First-That we avow our fixed resolve
| to retain unchanged our present position
as an integral portion of the United King
dom, and to protest in the most unequivo-
, cal manner against the passage of any
measure that would rob us of our inherit
ance in the imperial parliament, under the
protection of which our capital has been
Invested and our homes and rights safe
guarded.
No Use for the Dublin Parliament.
SSpcpnH--Th... rarCrl
tion to have nothing to do with a parlia-
ment certain to be controlled by men re-
! sponsib!e for the crime and outrage of the
| land league, the dishonesty of the plan of
! campaign and the cruelties of boycotting,
many of whom have shown themselves the
| ready instruments of clerical domination. "
"Third-That we declare to the people
OF Great Britain our conviction that the
attempt to st up a parliament in Ireland
will inevitably result in disorder, violence
and blOodshed such as have not sbeen eX-
| peri enced in this country, and announce
! our resolve to take no part in the election
/ or the proceedings of such parliament,
/ the authority of which should itever be con-
/ stituted we shall be forced 70 repudiate"
listers Claim not Side Issue.
! "Fourth-That we protest against this
! great question, which involves our lives,
property ana civil rights, being treated as
a mere side issueiin the impending election
struggle.
"Fifth-That we appeal to those of ou-
fellow countrymen who have hitherto
been in favor Of a separate parliament to
1 abandon demand which hopelessly
: divides Irishmen, and to unite with us un,
der the imperial legislature in developing
the resources and furthering the best in
teres,s of our common country

Only Six Killed, but an Enormous Loss
of Property.
WELLS, Mimi, June 1S.-Last night, for
the first time since the great storm of
Wednesday struck southern Minnesota a
correct estimate made was of the loss of
human life. Happily the number of dead
is very much smaller than the exaggerated
estimates Of Thursday night would indi-
cate. The daughter of Charles Melchert
died yesterday morning. bringing the
death list up to an even half dozen for the
three counties in which tn e tornado struck
the earth.
Fatalities and Where They Occurred.
Nobody was killed except at Minnesota
Lake, five miles northwest of here in fari-
bault county, and east Of that point in
Hertland township, Freeborn county. At
the latter point over dozen people We're
injured, but only Andrew Hanson, farm
hand, was killed. The dead at Minnesota
Lake are John Brown, Mrs. John LatUsck,
Henry Pictrus, and Alice and Nary
MclCher.
Cause of the Big Stories.
The cause Of the eXaCgeration was this:
For twenty-fCur hours train service was
paralyzcd and telegraph service for a
longer period. The trainmen when they
got here told what they had heard, and
this in turn passed through several other
mouths growing as it went. There was a
school house blown down seven miles from
Sherburne aud the teacher and half a
dozen pupils slightly hurt The property
l3mage, however. was not exaggerated. 1t

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-The session of
the house yesterday lasted just three
hours. Blanchard succeeded in sending
the river and harbor bill to conference for
a second time, the house insisting on its
disagreement to the senate amendments.
The house refused to take up the tin plate
bill, and after II parliamentary wrangie
over the Sibley bill recess was taken un-

nothing was done.

GOOD LAW, BUT uNJusT.
That Is What Michigan's Supreme Court
Says of the Miner Law.


Says of the Miner Law.
LANSING, Mich, June lS.-The supreme
court yesterday rendered a decision sus-
tanning the constitutionality of the Miner
election law. which was passed by the last
legislature. The law provides that electors
shall be chosen like Representatives in con-
gress, each district separately, and shall
not be required to vote in the electoral
college as a unit. The decision of the
court WAS unanimous. Justice Mont
gomery wrote the opinion. All the points
raised by the petitioners are fully dis
cussed. The court declares that the right
of the legislature to determine the mod e
of choosing electors has been firmly eetab
! lished in practice since the adoption OF the
constitution, and does not seem to admit
of controversy.
Valid in Spite of a Flaw.
1t does not lie with any cvur: to assert
that that right has been lost to the state
by non-user. The act in question is in
| conflict with the law of congress in 80 far
as it attempts to fix a date for the meeting
of electors and the method of certifying to
their action, but the law is not necessa-
rily imperative because in some of it's pro-
visions the legislature has exceeded its
power. The court says: "We have con-
sidered the questions presented in the case
with that care that the exceeding impor-
tance of the issue seems to imperatively
| require, and reach the conclusion that tn,
statute must stand as the lawful eiso of
the legislature.
Practical Politics, Your Eonors.
SThe injustice of any other than a uni
form system of electing the president of
1.-The United States is manifest. In legis-
! lot y -
regarded from party standpoint, but
J neither the fact that this important con.
sideration has been overlooked, nor that
this legislation may result in serious IN
| justice can extend our jurisdiction or
| justify US in usurping functions which un-
/ der the constitution pertain to the legis-
| lature."
The court politically is three Republi-
! cans and two Democrats.

ii Needed Reform.

The Federal pension system
needs q complete investigation
and overhauling.
It is stated that there is now
deficiency of $3.50, 100000 in the
pension appropriation for the
fiscal year. Instead Of the pen
sion roll being one of honor, II
is almost a roll OF dishonor.
The most audacioHs frauds are
written all over, and perjury is
one Of its closest companions.
The time has come to call a halt.
This system Of pensions must
be overhauled, and the desery-
ing and dependent soldiers must
no longer be classel with the
almost numberless frauds whose
names make the pension roll
one Of dishonor, and q disgrace
to the country.
We recall >the fact that in
1860, when our popSlation was
80, 900, 900, the total expenses OF
the Government we're from
$82 100000 to 100000, 600 less
than we now pay annually for
pensions alone. THIS imposes a
tax equal to three per cent.
upon five billions of dollars, or
nearly twice as much as the ma
tional debt in 1866, when it
reached its highest point.
The war ended tEenty-eight
years ago, and think of it, there
are on the u. S. ,ension roll
about 100000 pensioners, a
much larger numberof persons
than were mustered into the
Confederate service. We know

Trinity College Endowment.

since the removal into its
elegant home in Durham, TrinI-
ty College has started odt upon
lines more progressive and lines
that are destined to make it a
great centre of learning. There
is to be a better business system,
relieving the versatile president
of the financial burdens of the
institution. To this end a finance
committee, composed of Z. J.
Parrish, II. J. Bass and w. II.
Branson, has been appointed,
and Mr.. V. Ballard has been
elected treasurer. But this
was the beginning of the steps
taken to advance the interests
of the College. Rev. Andrew
P. Tyer, presiding elder of the
Charlotte district, has been
elected financial agent for the
purpose of raising a larger en-
dowment for the institution.
Mr.. Tyer is an alumnus Of
Trinity, is q capable man who
has won success in every under
taking to which he has address
ed himself. Yet a young man
he is ore of the most popular
presiding elders of his confer.
ence, and will resign that work
to serve the college only in re.
sponse to the earnest call of his
church. 1t is believed that he
understands the work mapped
out for him and that he win be
instrumental in largely increas
ing the endowment during the
coming year. The Mcthodists
are not only very numerous in
North Carolina, but many oi
them are likewise prosperous
and wealthy. Mr.. Duke and
Mr.. Carr have shown q gener-
osity most commsndable, and
