In 1889 the proportion Of convictions TO the
acquittals was less than during the preceding
years. In the Middle and Western districts
for that year, the results were 10 convictions
and 90 acquittals But in looking at the re-
suit of the trhole criminal docket for The same
period in those districts, find only l2S con-
victions and 204 acquittals, retaining about the
same result as in the run cases.
Again, it is said that The fines and costs are
not collected. This is too idle to talk. In
1889, find reported in those cases, as paid,
exclusive Of trials before magistrates, $3,079,-
90. No reports for other years are in my pos
session, on this matter, and none were made TO
the Legislature, touching the license laws, as a
separate item, for the years have omitted viz:
1910, al, '4a. But much more has been paid
since that time than was paid in 1889.
As to the amount drank in Massachusetts, |
need only say that not so much ardent spirit
was imported into the U. States in l94S, as
was formerly consumed in Massachusetts, alone.
At the same time the number of distilleries has
very much diminished. This is abundantly
shown by documents now before me. But
probably this point will be thought too well
settled TO contend about. and leave il until the
proof is called for.

The Slavery Question among the Method
ists.-This question, which is the great agita-
tor of all bodies in the Union, ecclesiastical and
political, was the one ofprincipal interest Of the
session of the Methodist General Conference,
which commenced in New York about the LIST
inst and still continues. The form in which il
arose was the appeal Of the Rev. Francis A.
Hardin, from decision OF the Baltimore Con-
ference, suspending him from the exercise of
ministerial functions, on the ground of vio-
lation Of thatrule of discipline by which Meth
odist Ministers are forbidden to hold slaves
From this decision Mr.. Hardin appealed. His
appeal however, was not sustained. After a
warm debate, occupying portions Of several
days, the vote was taken, and the save-hodng
clergymen was defeated by majority of III
TO Sc. II is said that all the delegates from the
Southern States, except those from Baltimore,
North, except the Pennsylvania delegation,
voted on the other side. 1t appears from the
above decision that, upon the subject of slave
ry at least the Methodsts are IN advance of
all other denominations.

every man; one Divine Spirit, whose influence
animaies all souls; one vital principle sustains
all life; one atmosphere floats upon the earth

lands; and that every act Of disunion tends TO
mLtilate the human race,--ii blasts, Il wiihers,
il paiay2es, it kills the human system.
That The Blood is the one agent Of the Al
