The Supreme Court of Michigan has toâ€"day handed down a decision in the celebrated United Brethren Church case, appealed from the Cireuit Court of Allegan County, in which the deciâ€" sion of the lower Court is reversed,the Supreme Court deciding in favor of the party known as Conservatives or Rad icals. The case just decided derives its importance from the fact that it has been made a test case for the State, and it has been‘ very bitterly contested for nearly four years. Ib practically shuts out the Liberals and gives all the Church property in the State of Michigan to the Conservatives. The Supreme Court held the case unâ€" der consideration for several months. câ€"=Com. ® Brunâ€"CUNNINGHAW, A pleasant event took place at the ns w\ ind nc United States Finances. The annual report of the Hon. John . Carlisle, Secretary of the Treasury, has been transmitted to Congress. The Secretary estimates the revenues of the government for the fiscal year which will end on June 30 next atb $430,121,000 and that the expendiâ€" tures‘ for the same year will amount to $458,121,000, leaving a deficit of 28,â€" 000,000 on the year. _ He favors legisâ€" lation to authorize a more extended use of silver certificates. He champions the system of substituting ad valorum duties for specific duties in the collectâ€" ing of customs, and recommends an inâ€" crease of ten cents a gallon in the inâ€" ternal revenue tax on distilled spirits, the imposition of additional internal 3 Ssd ons o rao ioi m ie t revenue taxes on cigars and cigarettes, the imposition of new taxes on playing cards, cosmetics, perfumeries, legacies and successions, and incomes derived. from investments in stocks and bonds of corporations and. joint stock comâ€" panies. â€" The Secretary says that the amount of money in the country outâ€" side of the Treasury on Dec. 1, 1893, was $112,404,747, greater than the amount outstanding on Nov. 1, 1892, resigned, and insists that it is greater than is for the transacion of the busiâ€" ness of the people at this time. The Secretary concludes his report by urging Congress to practise the strictest economy in public expendiâ€" ture consistent with an efficient adminâ€" istration of the law. He reminds reâ€" presentatives that reductions of taxaâ€" tion cannot legally be insisted upon or made practically beneficial without a corresponding reduction of expendiâ€" ture. â€"The programme, as issued for the entertainment on Friday evening gives promise of being a treat for those who attend. â€" Miss Hext in statuesque posâ€" ings in Greek Costume; Miss Bean in an impromptu piano solo; the W.M.S.
