The Majority Report.
Following is the majority report:
We have counted the vote of the
Presbyteries and find that OF the ~
which have made returns, SO have
! voted In 'favor of the adoption of the
articles, q have voted in favor of re-
lection and two took no action.
In our opinion the general as
sembly can adopt the articles OF
agreement without violation of the
constitution of the church.
49, We carefully considered ali
the overtures and papers sent up by
the Presbyterians and find none OF
them requires an answer from this
general assembly other than that
contained in this report.
"A. We recommend that the arti-
cles of agreement be adopted.
%. AS the Presbyterian church in
the United States will be entitled to
IL representatives in the council we
recommend that the representatives
be divided into three classes OF four
members each to consist of two min

ator appoint committee of five,
who shall nominate and report to this
general assembly the names Of IL
persons qualified to serve as repre-.
sentatiyes from this church, dividing
the same into classes as provided for

The minority report will take a
position directly opposite to that OF
the majority, holding that the adopt
ion of the articles of agreement
would be unconstitutional.

The victory is a most decisive
one over railroad political domi-

success is not due to the leaders

A Prophecy as to Wheat.

Unquestionably those now living
may see the time when in some years
the United States will import wheat
II a surplus a be found anywhere.
AS a rule. however, we may expect
to continue to export grain forever.
The Oldest and most densely popu-
lated countries Of the world continue
to export grain, and while the world
endures there will always be ex-
changes Of SURPRISES. AS to our pro-
duction we are probably nearing our
maximum under present methods of
cultivation. 1t is, however, easily pos
sible to double our output by better
methods of agriculture which we shall
gradually adopt as increasing prices
caused by the pressure of population
warrant the increased outlay in pro-
duction.
