sledge near by. All were well at the Point

In conclusion Smith said be could only re-

right to regulate the conduct of a govern

The solicitor-geneTal explained why he
laid the stress of mis- argument upon receiv-
ing rather tn an giving money for political
purposes, and closed with the following
words: 81 am arguing this case in confidence
with the distinction made by the statute be-

whether Congress had q right to prohibit
his giving money for political purposes or
not, it certainly had right to prohibit his

THE races Yesterday were as great a sue

IL Is the unanimous wish of the people
that every husiness man, manufassa+er,

WHAT WILL BE DONE IN CASE NEW YoRl
GOES DEMOCRATIC,

WHAT WILL BE DONE IN CASE NEW YORK
GOES DEMOCRATIC.
WASHINGTON, October pa well-known
New York politician and an intimate friend
OF President Arthur, in conversation with
a newspaper correspondent few days ago,
said: "The administr alton has gone into the
New York fight for all it is worth. Arthur
is giving a great deal OF personal attention
to the details of the canvass. The Republi-
cans are working quietly, and l believe
effectively while The Democrats are blowing
and clustering, rather than working, Both
factions of the Republican party will unite
before election day, and work vigorously for
Folger. Personally, l think we will win,
but should Folger be defeated the immedi-
ate result will be the reorganization of the
Cabinet. There is pressure on Arthur TO
have more politicians around him = men
who know how to handle the Stslwart cause
in 1888 The matter has been seriously dis
cussed in all lis aspects by his friends In
New York. The Presidents mind is now
fully ma ie up to make clean sweep if We
lose the State"
"WilI Lincoln go with the rest?" asked
the correspondent.
"Yes, Lincoln will go. His fathers name
has kept him thus far. 1t was limited some
time ago that a foreign mission was at his
disposal, but he refused 10 take the hint.
The new cabinet will be filed with astute
politicians Conkhng Will be the leading
spirit of the administration. He has, not
withstanding his growing and lucrative
law practice, strong desire TO return TO
public life, and will accept the secretaryship
OF the treasury. Something has 10 be done
to check the growing current of Blaneisnf.
1t will be effectuaDy checked bv the ar
rangement l have stated, providing Folger
is defeated. In the event OF his election,
Arthur will feel more secure, but Mr.. Cham
der will receive his walking papers, and
probably one or two others. Chandler sus-
poets something OF this sori, and is casting a
longing eye on the New Hampshire senator

THE CURTIS CASE.
THE QUESTION OF POLITICAL AssEssMENTs
FURTHER ARGUED.


WASHINGTON, October 25.-The hearing ol
arguments in the political assessment case
of Newton NJ. Curtis was continued in the
United States Supreme Court this afternoon.
Edwin B. Smith, of counsel for the petitioner,
replied at some length 10 the argument OF
the solicitor general, and was to-day, yes
terday, repeatedly interrupted by questions
from the bench.
Chief Justice-There is law prohibiting
members of Congress from engaging in any
contract to do work for the government.
Smith-Yes, your honor; but
Chief Justice-There is also law pro-
hibiting members of Congress practicinE in
| the Court Of Claims, and law which forbids
them 10 act as claim agents.
Smith-Very true, your honor; but ali
| these laws prohibit acts which bear direct
| relation to the officers official functions and
| TO the duty which he owes the government.
| In the present sase the act prohibited is en-
| tireIy outside the employees official functions,
| and has no relation Whatever to the faithful
| discharge of his duty to the United States.
Justice Miller-Are there not laws in
many States for the protection of enrolling
| officers in the discharge of their duty?
| Smith-Ah, but your honor
Justice Miller-Is it not competent for
| the Legislature to enact such laws?
Smith-It is.
| Justlce Mllier-l5 II DOE Ine purpose Oi
the present statute TO protect subordinate
officers of the government from the exactIops
of other government officers? Cannot the
United States take all necessary steps for
the protection of its own employees In the
discharse of their duty?
Smiih-The circumstances, your honor,
are different. The law for the protection OF
an enrolling officer protects him only IN the
discharge of his duty. II makes distinc-
tion between his official and his private life.
| If he gets into trouble over game of caros
| he is not under the protection OF the law.
Justiee Miller-Thatl tlis true. The law
| protects the enrolling officer only while in
the discharge of his duty, but clerk in one
| of the departments is always on official duty
az far as his need of protection Is concerned.
He needs il as much at one time as another.
Oppression may be exercised on him out in
| the street as well as when he Is in his ofhce.
Smith-But your honor says he shall not
give of his means for political purposes,
even when he desires to give, and is anxious
| 10 give. That is net protection.
Jostice MiIler-The law does not say he
shall not siye, but that he shall not give to
another oficef>of the government. he can
give to anybody efse If he chooses. / am not

WASHINGTON, October 25.-The state
ment to the effect that political affairs in

lively denied by the President and members

cal matters has been made at any meeting,
and no dispatches whatever, cipher or other
wise, have been sent from theWhite House to
