A Farm to the Lutheran Synod.

YoRY, Pa, July 5.-The Board of Church
Extension of the General Synod of the Evan
gelical Lutheran Church in the United States,
which has its headquarters in this city, of
which Rev. H. II. Weber is the general sec
Rotary, has Just received valuable gift, in
the shape of fine farm from Mrs. Sarah E.
Sell, of East Berlin, Pa. The farm is stu
ated in Dover township, York county, con-
sisting of ll2 acres and 81 perches. Some
years ago the father of Mrs. Sell was offered
Sl0Q en- acre for the farm, which he refused.
The property is worth over 200. Rev:
Weber visited Mrs. Sell over year ago, and
she then said that she wanted to do some
thing for the work of church extension, in
which she was greatly interested. Several
weeks ago Mr.. Weber made another visit to
East Berlin, in company with Mr.. Jere Carl,
treasurer Of the board, and the result was
the absolute promise of the farm. The deed
for the same was executed last week, and
arrived in this city today.

money is called in and held tightly, while
there is a plenty of it if it were not re-

Extra Session of Congress.

In his proclamation converting Congress
in extraordinary session on August 9TH,
the President assigns distrust aud appre-
hepsion concerning the financial situation
which pervade all business circles as the
reason for the assembling of Congress at an
unusual time. He attributes the distrust
and apprehension to unwise laws which
must be executed until repealed, and he
calls Congress together 'to the end that
the people be relieved through Legislation
from present and impending danger and
distress.
The probable length of the session Is
matter of uncertainty, but if the President,
in his message, recommends the taking up
of the matter of taxation as well as that of
finance. the session will continue until the
regular session. on the first Monday OF
December. All the ills, financial, are sup
posed to result from the operations Of the
Sherman silver purchase act. The demand
is for its repeal, but to remedy, so far as 1t
can be done by legislation, all the ills OF
trade and finance, the tariff laws need re-
vision also. The country is suffering from
the operation of the Mckinley bill to an
extent nearly as great as from the Sherman
act. The Mckinley bill failed to open
market "for another bushel of wheat or
barrel of pork, and built higher the CHI
nese wall of taxation that shuts the coun-
try in and the balance of the world out.
We need free raw material. in order that
our manufactures can compete in the mark
cts of the world. American skill and In
genuity has outstripped all other nations,
and we are only prevented from reaping
proper benefit from that skill and ingenul-
ty by an unwise system Of taxation. The
need is for freer trade with other nations,
wider market for our products, a sound
and stable currency and system oil taxa
ton in accordance with the constitution.

The determination of the President to
convene Congress earlier than the time first
set, is regarded rs an indication that he has
received assurances that the Sherman law
will be repealed. As all our present fnan-
Gial distress is charged to the operation Of
the act, nothing would be gained IN calling
Congress in extraordinary session unless
there we're assurances of its repeal.
