The Commoner,

The Commoner, Mr.. Brysn's paper,
will be especially interesting and in
structive during the present session of
congress. The action of this congress
will probably determine the issues upon
which the next presidential campaign
will be fought. The Commoner pro-
poses to carry on campaign of educa-
ton and organization to the end that
democratic principles may triumph,
In addition to the editorial depart
ment, which receives Mr.. Bryan's per-
sonal attention. The Commoner con-
tains Current Topic department,
wherein non-partisan discussion of
topics of timely interest and other vslu.
able information will be found. The
Home department is conducted by an
experienced woman who is widely
known as q writer of household topics
and who is an authority on the art of
cooking in all that, the term implies.
This department alone is worth the
subscription price. The other depart
ments of the paper are all interesting
and ably conducted, among which is q
summary of the worlds news told in
narrative style, and Mr.. Maupin's de-
neither Common or Not
contains original anecdotes and wit,
moral lessons in homely phrase and
verse, and appeals to old and young
alike.
The Commoner as q whole is clean,
entertaining and instructive, and its
rapid increase in circulation-now
amounting to 140,000-is proof of the
papers strength and influence.
| Arrangements have been made with
Mr.. Bryan whereby The Commoner can
be supplied at very low rate with the
Manchester Democrat both papers fol-
one year for $2.15. This offer applies
to both new and renewal subscriptions
and should be taken advantage of with
out delay. All orders should be sent tc

SHARP CONTEST OVER THE COVENANT
Opening Guns in the Controversy Are
Fired aud Indicate an Animated
Discussion mt TOday's
Session.

PITTsBURG, Pa, May 31.-The morning
session Of the general assembly Of the
United Presbyterian church OF North Amer
lea was devoted largely to reading and
discussing the report Of the board Of home
mission methods. Previous to the pre-
sentation OF this report President r. @.
Miller OF the Associate Reformed church
OF the south was introduced and addressed
the commissioner on the subject Of con-
solidation.
The opening guns in the coming fight
over the membership covenant were fired
this afternoon. The discussion was short
and sharp, but It served to indicate plainly
how lively the consideration OF the special
committee report will be tomorrow morn
ing.
A we'll defined movement Is under way
to defer action on the covenant. The oppo-
sition to such treatment Of the matter will
be strong and It is already we'll organized.
The covenant question is. badly complicated
as it now stands. The special committee
appointed last year made two reports, one
bearing directly on the subjects. and the
other OF a supplemental nature.
Submitted TO Committee.
This latter section of the report was sub
mitted to the committee on bills and over
lures today, while the first part Of the
paper was withheld until its authors could
report on It. The committee on bills and
overtures, Just before, adjournment, pre-
scented recommendations. 1t dwelt on the
memorial from the Lake presbytery, which
Is offered as a substitute for the new COW
enant and which the committee does not
favor. the memorial from the Allegheny
presbytery, which suggests that the mat
ter be allowed to rest for another year,
while further consideration is given to 1t
by the special committee. Is recommended
for adoption and the supplementary report
OF the special committee the assembly Is
advised to lay on the table.
Tarkio. Missouri, will entertain the as
sembly next year, somewhat to the sur
prise Of many who had expected to see 1t
20 to the east. Tarkio had no opposition
when its Invitation was accepted. College
Springs, twenty-five miles from Tarkio,
will get the meeting of the general com
mIttee on home missions.
The memorial services held this afternoon
were by far the most impressive that have
occurred.
Rev. W.. p. McNary, d. D. Of Tarkio,
Mo-, presided at the service. The principal
address was made by Hon. w. S. Head OF
Cambridge, o. Rev. w. C. Williamson,
d. D., of Keokuk, Ia, and Rev. w. Y.
Meloy, d. D., OF Chicago, also spoke.
E The most striking incident came when
DR.. McNary called for all veterans among
the commissioner to stand. Thirty-seven
men arose and the applause that greeted
this unexpected showing was almost deaf
