Prorecr Tur PeopLe.—Commenting on the latest injunction case in this Province the St. John Globe remarks:—** Without saying any- thing on the merits of this particular case the remark might be made that the grossest in- justice is often practised upon private persons

y taking their lands for public purposes and then not paying for what is taken. In this Province the lands of individuals have been expropriated by railway companies, and railways have been put upon the lands, but not a dellar has been received by the owners for their property. These can get no redress, except by an expensive legal process, which poor men hate to enter upon. And the simple result is that they are deprived of their property by the force, cheek, and as- ssuinption of some soulless corporation.

TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. Presbyteriau Conference. SUMMARY OF PROCEEDINCS.

Hatrrax, June 19.

The most interesting discussion, from a non-churchman’s standpoint, took place to- day in the Assembly on the marriage with deceased wife’s sister question. Two years ago the matter was referred to the Presby- teries, and last year an ad interim was passed, that sessions do not discipline for breach of confession of this question, and the question was again referred to Presbyteries to report. Out of 43 Presby- teries, 18 reported favoring the change, 5 opposed it and 4 were not definite in their wishes.

This forenoon, Rev. Thomas Sedgewick took objection that only two courses were open to the Assembly,—first, drop the question ; secondly, to refer it to the Pres- byteries for a report to the next Assembly.

The reasons were that a majority had not reported that they wished the confession changed. This point of order was dis- cussed for two hours by Messrs. Cavan and Crail, Judge Stevens, Messrs. Cochrane, MacRae, Cassells, of Toronto, Gordon, Reid and others. At last Dr. Fraser, T. R., moved that the report lie on the table, but this was buried by a vote of 109 to 22. The main question was then taken up on a motion by Dr. Cochrane, seconded by Dr. McRae, that since a suflicient num- ber of Presbyteries had not reported to enable the Assembly to test the mind of the Church, that the ad interim act of last year be extended for another, ‘and sent down again to Presbyteries to report. That the discipline Jof the church shall not be exercised in regard to marriage witha deceased wife's sister, or deceased wife’s niece. The Presbyteries are required to report to the next assembly.

Dr. Cavan made a lengthy argumentative speech in favor of changing the discipline, and Rev. Thos. Sedgewick headed the op- position.

The question was discussed all the after- noon and the motion extending the ad interim act for another year was passed by 139 to 24.

The report on the state of religion was presented to-night.

The recommendation that there be special evangelistic services at stated times was omitted, as also the recommendation that a diploma be granted to young people on prepared questions, on the shorter cate- chism and assigned portions of scripture.

The temperance report was moved by a young fire-eater, Mr. Tully, of Mitchell, Ontario, seconded by Mr. McKay, of Wood- stock, supported by Mr. McKay, of Chat- ham, each of whom made vigorous speeches.

Just as the Assembly was closing, Mr. McDoi:.“ "1, of Toronto, took the floor and said he Wes not prepared to vote that the liquor traffic was contrary to the Word of God, and that it was the duty of the State to pass a prohibitory liquor law. Things that grew out of the liquor traflic are con- trary to the Word of God, but he could not say that the manufacture and sale of liquor were contrary to the Word of God. He was a temperance man and would do what he could to limit the sale; to prohibit it if possible. The Assembly should pass a resolution that would meet the approval of every member, so that all could respect its wishes, and every mem- ber subscribe to its direction, but they could not bind the consciences of members.

It being the hour for adjournment, it was moved by Mr. MacDonnell, who has the floor to-morrow morning.

Mr. MacDonnell moved an amendment expressing sympathy with the cause (which will, without doubt, not be accepted) in- stead of the one asking for prohibition.

METHODISTS IN COUNCIL.

Close of the Conference

Toronto, June 19.

The Conference of the Methodist Church closed its annual meeting to-night. Amongst the reports presented and adopted were those on Sabbath observance and on temperance. The former urged the obser- vance of the Sabbath, and strongly con- demned compulsory labor under threat of discipline as an interference with the rights of the subject. It recommends that legislation on this subject be made uniform throughout the Dominion, and that the Conference memorialize the Local Legisla- ture and Dominion Parliament for proper and adequate legislation. The committee on temperance reaflirmed the resolutions of last year.
