Presbyterian Assembly Refuses
to Become Exclusive.
PRESENT MEMBERSHIP RETAINED.

Discountenances Reduction of Repre-
sentations, Putting Power I'm Hands of
Few Members-Plans to Reduce the
Negative Vote.
MINNEAPOLIS, May 23.-Democracy
asserted itself in the Presbyterian gen.
eral assembly yesterday. With shout
the assembly voted down two carefully
considered and prepared plans to re-
duce the membership, one by q third
and the other by more than half. The
committee on reduction appointed a
year ago was scarcely given courteous
treatment, so pronounced was the fol-
lowing against getting farther away
from the people. Two members of the
committee presented the two proposed
plans, one making the basis of represen-
tation 5000 communicates and the
other making the basis S6 ministers in
the presbyteries instead of "A, as at
present. Colonel F. L. Hitchcock Of
the committee argued for representa-
tlons by synods according to member
ship and declared that there was doubt
that 672, the present membership of the
assembly was far too large. 1t was
plain, from the Interruptions that Col
onel Hitchcock was on the unpopular
side and when he sat down expressions
OF the democratic spirit came out
strongly and profusely. "They call
this mob" said DR.. Page of Topeka.
eff it is mob, God grant that there
may be more such. God pity the Pres
byterian church, with the bulk of the
wealth of the United States in it's cof--
fers, if it cannot afford a large assem-
bly," 1.-The time has not come to reduce
the assembly and hope it never will
come" cried DIR. George p Brych of
New York. 1--WE ought to keep as near
the people as we can The backwoods
presbyteries now hold the balance of
power; don't know what we would do
without them, they hold the balance so
true"
DIR. John W. Dinsmore of San Jose
offered a substitute motion thanking
and discharging the committee and in
definitely deferring the question of re-
duced representation. When the vote
came there was mighty yes and a
feeble no.
The decision against another part of
che senate committees report was
closer By vote of 1874 to 1853 the as
sembly decided not to increase from five
to ten the number of ministers neces-
sary to constitute a presbytery.

Revenue Bill.


JEFFERSON CITY, May 2S.-The Mis-.
souri, legislature adjourned sine die
yesterday afternoon after a session Of
1873 days. The last act was the defeat
of the revised revenue bill containing
the franchise taxation feature. The
house first passed bill applying to
franchises Of public or quasi public COR
porations. The senate amended it BY
including gas companies and corpora
tions of that character. The house
amended the amendment by including
the words railroad, express and tele-
graph companies" 1t was claimed the
bill originally applied to railroads. The
senate refused to adopt the house
amendments but agreed to recede
from it's own amendment The house
then by vote of 63 to AZ refused to
agree to allow the senate to recede from
It's amendment. AS it takes II votes
to adopt conference report on bill,
the action of the house defeated the
bill. 1t is claimed the defeat of the bill

The defeat of the bill destroyed several
good amendments to the revenue laws.
