NEW YORK, July 20.-The case Of
General Newton M. Curtis. ex-Treasu-
ry Agent, convicted in the U. s. circuit
court for collecting money from office
holders for political purposes, came up
again today when the decision was
rendered by the court in banc compOs-
ed OF Judges Wallace, Benedict and
Brown, on motion for new trial and
in arrest for judgment. The decision
is III effect that the act of Congress
prohibiting government officials from
collecting money for political purposes
is constitutional. Therefore the mo-
ton in arrest of judgment and for a
new trial is denied. Curtis was SEN
fenced to pay fine of one Thousand
dollars. The counsel for Curtis intends
To carry the case to the supreme court,
and have obtained the allowance OF q
writ for that purpose.

We surrender much of our space this
week to the proceedings of the State
Democratic Convention held in Co.
lumbus on Thursday last, and trust
they will be carefully read and consid-
cred. The Convention was one of the
largest ever held III the State, .and
while there were differences of opinion
among the Representatives of the Dem
ocracy from the different localities,
they were all settled in a spirit of con-
cession and harmony which augurs
well for success i'll October.
The ticket is a good one and accept
able to the Democracy of every section
of Ohio. Though among the many
names before the Convention there
were those who would have made a
different choice, there are no sore
heads or heart burnings over the choice
of candidates, but the gentlemen
| named will receive the cordial, hearty
and united support OF The Democratic
and conservative voters of the State.
The platform adopted is brief bal
clearly defines the position of the par
ty upon ali the great Issues before The
public, and will meet the hearty en-
dOrsement of the Democratic masses
1t opposes monopoly and special priv
ileges, asserts the equal rights of th'
people, denounCes the reckless eXtrav
agance and corruption Of the party tha
for twenty years have held control o
the Government and piled a mountain
of taxes upon the shoulders of th
tOiling, producing millions declare
sympathy with the oppressed peopl
OF every land demands u tariff T.
raise sufficient revenue for the want
of the government; declares the ad
herence Of the party to the doctrine c
the largest liberty consistent with th
public welfare, and opposition to leg
islation merely sumptuary, The Con
vention did its work well, and now le
the people ratify its action at the poll
and get rid Of the rule Of the politics

raised between George w. Curtis and
Representative Hubbell, President of
the Republican congressional commit
tee, on the subject of political assess
ments, in which he holds that men,
Der of Congress is not ali officer of the
United States. SO that a gift to him
for campaign purposes does not fail
within the statute regulating political
assessments. His opinion will be laid
before the cabinet meeting Tuesday.
| If member of Congress is not an
officer of the United States, why is it
| that Congress assumes the right to
send Marshals and Supervisors of Elec-
tions to surround the polls and over
awe the authorities of the States where
elections are held? That right has
been asserted by the Republican Con-
gress, and can be justified solely Oh the
ground that members of Congress arc
Federal officers. If they are solely
State or local district officers, the Fed

interfere in their election than in the
election of any other State or local ofii-

such a formidable buGbear by persons
interested in keeping Utah vassal of
the government, is not an institution
Of the territory, but of a church it will
not be an institution of the State of

in any sense feature of the political
organization here, and has nothing to
do with it, because those who are con-
nected with the institution form and
sustain their domestic relations, not
under any secular law or regulation,
but solely aud entirely under church
ordinances, forms, and rules, over

kill an ordinary man dozen times
over. A similar case with other poisons
was reported last May by DIR. Thomas,
of the Chambers Street Hospital, to
whom was brought a gentleman who
had shut himself up in hotel room
and ate no hing and drank nothing hut
great quantities of champagne. When
he was broughtto the hospital he called
for bromide and chlor.l, saying he was
in the habit of taking both. The usual
amount of choral given in such cases
Che was bordering on delirium tremens)
is fifteen grains, but. considering what
he sid, Dr. Thomas gave him thhty
grains of choral and ninety grains of
bromide, and repeated the doe in two
hours. In twenty-four hours he had
taken $50 grains of bromide and 273
grains of choral, and the drug had not
produced any apparent result. In Sow
enty-two hours he had taken 920 grains
of bromide, 4l2 grains Of chloral and
five-eighths of IL grain of morphia.
This is said to have been larger
amount than is on record elsewhere, but
the man got over his "spree, ant
laughed when the doctor warned him
against recurrence Of it.
With such cases III their books it is
not marvellous that physicians always
say, While there is life there is hope.

Christians In the World.

The following statistics gathered
from speech made at the Congregation.
al union of England and Wales, by DIR.
II. NJ Storrs of New York. are believed
to be accurate, and will be of interest
to many. In the year 1900 there were
5000 evangelical churches in the
United States of America. In the year
1880 the number of such churches was
$1,000, showing an increase of "a 900 in
eighty years. In the same period of
time the nurnber of evangelical minis
ters was increased by $1,000 The
Sunday schools in 1880 enrolled $4,000
scholars, and in 1889 they numbered
$3.50 00e-a growth of about 6.000,000
II fifty years. In 1900. IN all evangeli-
cal denominations III our country,
there were 364, $40 members, and
in 1880 there were I0,065, 963-a
positive increase in those eighty years
Of 9,70l, O9l. The number of evangel-
zeal societies in 1900, was one for every
LAO inhabitants; In 1880 there was
one society for every $40 inhabitants.
Again in 1900 we had one ordained
minister for every 1900 inhabitants,
and in 1890 we had one for every Ut
inhabitants. In 1900 we had one com
municant to every 13 of the population;
in 1880 we have COMMITMENTS in evan
gelical churches for every five of the
population. While our population has
increased during these 80 years about
tenfold, the number of communicates
has increased almost twenty-eight fold.
During the last thirty years of intense
struggle between free thought and
Christianity, the growth of our commu-
nicants has been $685. 0S5. At the end
(of the first century, of Christian history
it is commonly estimated that there
were about 100000 adherents to the
Christian faith at the end of the
second century, about 1000, 900; at the
end of the third, 100000; at the end
of the fourth, 100000; the end of the
fifth, 1900, 900; at the end of the sixth,
20000,000; the end of the seventh, 25,-
600, 900; at the end of the eighth, 3d.
100000. Now the number of enrolled
communicates in the United States in 80
years, from 1900, has increased $780,
900, or nearly as many as the number
of adherents to Christianity mt the end
of the fourth century of the Christian
era. These adherents We're not all pro-
fessed Christians, or enroEed members
of the churches. On the basis of 'ad-
herents' the United States present an
increase Of 35. 230, 000-more than the
entire Christian body at the end of
eight centuries.
