Congress, the tariff war still goes on and it is quite evident that the Democrats .do not intend to attempt a revision of the whole tariff, but ,have decided to attack the worst • features of the McKinley bill. Thisis s; wise policy, for any general revision passed by the House would be certain to . be defeated „„in the Senate. The Ways. and Means committee, by a strict party vote agreed to report favorably the °Springer free Wool bill, the Bryan free binding twind bill and the Turner bill, placing Cotton ties, Cotton bagging and machinery for manufacturing the same on the free : list. It is reported that the com- mittee has also recommended the ;reduction of the duty on barley to loo per bushel of 481bs, on barley malt to 20c per bushel of 341bs., and on hops to 84 per lb. These is .quite an agi- tation in favour of the latter reduct- ions throughout the frontier cities of NTew York. , Reductions in lumber, r salt, etc., are also proposed, and like all reductions on raw material will be popular among many manufacturers, particularly those of the New England States. No one need rely, however, . on any of the proposed changes becom- ing law, as the present is the presid- ental year, and as the tariff is the battle -ground of the opposing parties, it is only too probable that whatever thetiDemocrats decide on in the House, the Republican majority in the Senate will veto. RESBYTERY OF MAI11- ,A1%M. 'The above Presbytery met in Mel- --vine church, Brussels, on March 8th: a, The Rev. T. Davidson, M. A., moder- :,ator,'in the chair. The Rev. A. Sutherland presented a call from the -congregation of -Ashfield, signed by 109 ,communicants and 155 adherents in faor of Rev. A. Ross, M. A., ac- companied by a guarantee of stipend of $800 per annum. Messrs. F. Mc- Lennan and A. Mc- tyre in behalf of/the session • and co gregation sup- ported the call. ' The call was sus- tained as a regular gospel call and ordered to be .transmitted to Mr. Ross. It was agreed to communicate with Mr. Ross by wire and ascertain his mind in regard to the call. A tele- gram was received from Mr. Ross declining the call. Mr. Sutherland was authorized to moderate in a call again to the congregation of Ashfield. Mr. Geddes read the Sabbath School report and following recom- mendations which were adopted : 1 That the attention of sessions be .called to the very small proportion of our S. S. scholars who • are communi- cants, and that they be urged to prayerful effort in leading the young to a decision for Christ before they pass beyond the influence of the' S. S. and bible class. 2 In `iew of the fact that over 30 S. S.'s contributed but $240 for purposes, that pastors, superintend- ents and ,teachers be more earnest in cultivating a spitit of liberality among the scholars. 3. That the Home Study Leaflet, published by Rev. T. F. Tothering- ham, be used in our schools wherever practicable. 4 That those S. S.'s which are open but half the year, be enjoined to keep those schools open all the year round. On motion of Mr. Geddes seconded by Mr. Hartley, it was carried that a b, committee, consisting of Messrs. Geddes, Ross, Murray and Anderson be appointed to draft an overture to be presented to the General Assembly to the effect—In view of the fact that societies among the, young people of our church such as Y. P. S. of Christian Endeavor, Home Missionary Association, etc., are becoming numer- ous, and in view of the fact that much energy and work is lost to the church through the want of the organ- ization of these for united work and under control of the church, be it resolved that the Assembly' take such imps as Will form these societies into a Young People's Guild with a suit- able constitution o that more concen- trate trate effort may be attained, and that our young people may feel that they are a constituent part of our denomin- ation. The clerk read-.... _ a communication from Langside congregation expressing their willingness to be connected with some one of the neighboring congre- gations.

The Rev. Sutherland read the annual report of the Presbyterial W. F. M. Society in behalf of Mrs. Mc- Nabb, secretary of the ,society, at the public meeting in the evening. $ On motion of Mr. Murray, seconded by Mr. Ross, the following resolution was unanimously passed:—That having heardthe annual report of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of. the Presbytery of Maitland, the Presbytery desire to acknowledge with gratitude to God the goodly measure of success which has attended the efforts of the Society during the past year, and to 'recognize the manifest blessing of God in evoking the mission= ary zeal and self-denying liberality of all its auxiliaries as shown by the, report of their aggregate contributions. ,The Presbytery, while expressing thanks to the active laborers in the Society and especially the president, secretary and treasurer, would also venture to hope that under the bless- ing of the Master even greaten results may he reported in future through a .deepening of interest and an increase of members and -a yet larger measure of self-sacrifice on the part of all enlisted in the work.
