Steubenville, O.. April 10.-There is
no longer any doubt but that Congress
man Lorenzo Danford will have to
fight fer his nomination for a sixth
term. The nostmasters who control
papers in the district tried to crush
out the opposition, but the disappoint-
ed seekers for offices, combined with
the desires Of aspiring politicians, has
brought forth opposition and many
look for DanfCrd to decline another
nomination. Prosecuting Attorney
E. E. Erskine has announced his can
didacy. and Judge j. A. Mansfield and
Hen. J. Dunbar are expected to an
nOunce themselves in a few days. To
the surprise Of all politicians in the
district. Hon. d. t. Hollingsworth Of
CadiZ, is a candidate. In 1894, at the
Congressional convention here, he said
he would never again be candidate.
His coming out will probably shut cut
ex-State Senator G.. M. Hogg and W.

figuring on being candidates. Hen

IMPORTANT.
Was Tax Case Decided by the Su-
preme Court at Charleston, Satur-
day--.The Act Involved Constitu-
ti0nal.

Special to the Register
Charleston, w. Va, April 10.-The
Supreme Court decided very import
ant case yesterday involving the con-
stitutionality of the act Of the Legis-
lature of 1897, entitled IAN act extend
ing the time in which Sheriffs may
destrain from taxes In the case Of
John C. McEldowney VS.. j. n. Wyatt
Sheriff. from Wetzel county, the court
passes upon and holds good the act
extending the time in which Sheriffs
may destrain for taxes due for the
years from 1889 to 1895, both inclusive.
Wyatt, as late Sheriff, held taxes
against McEldowney for years 1890,
81 and 80, and the time for levying
having expired, he brought suit to sub
ject McEldowney's real estate to the
payment pending which the act Of
1897 was passed, and he dismissed
the suit Wyatt then levied upon
McEldowIey' personal property,
whereupon McEldOwney obtained an
injunction in the Circuit Court upon
the ground that the act of 1897 was
class legislation, and therefore uncon-
stitutional The Circuit Court sus-
tanned this view of the case and per-
petuated the injunction, but the SUI
preme Court reverses the decision of
the Circuit Court, and dismisses the
bill, holding that as the act applied to
all the Sheriffs and taxpayers of the
State alike, it is not class legislation,
and therefore is not unconstitutional.

REASONS FOR THANKSGIVING.
President Clark of the Endeavorers Set
Forth some of Them.

Boston, Nov. s3.--President E. e.
Clark, d. ID. of the United Society OF
Christian Endeavor, has issued to En-
deavorers statement of their reasons for
Thanksgiving. In three great denomina-
tions, he says sthe annual accessions to
the church have doubled since the advent
of Christian Endeavor, fact which
SD eaks volumes for Endeavor methods
and loyalty and nterdenominational fell
lowship.
The latest months of this year have
been the best of all. The fall conventions
instead OF tagging in interest and show
ing loss of power in any direction, have
been meetings of exceptional value and
in many States surpas-
sing any before held. India has nearly
aquadrup1ed her societies. South Africa
has more than quadrupled hers. China
has neatly doubled her numbers.
In Great Britain the largest religious
convention ever held in Europe assem- bled
when the Christian Endeayor forces met
in Glasgow. and this meeting, too, was
not only great in numbers, but great in
power.
During the last year the work in pris-
ons has been developed as never before.
and some of the blessed testimonies to
the value of Christian Endeayor come
from the boys behind the bars.
Floating Christian Endeavorers have
demonstrated as never before during the
past year their faith and love and zeal.
The Comr sdes of the Quiet Hour have in
creased 60 more than eleven thousand
during the year, and this number is said
to represent a fraction of those who have
been stirred to deeper and larger relig-
ious lie by the prominence given to this
feature of work.
Practical benevolence, systematic CIV
ing, citizenship work, relief OF the suffer
ing, the s'foi ward movement in mis-
sions, have all Kept pace, as is to be ex-
pected, with the realization of the deepe,
truths of communion with God. =
DR.. Clark says: 81 have never known
time in all the history of the movement
when it has incurred SO little cri icism
and won SO much confidence. Here and
there hear OF pastor who has no sym
pathy with his socie ty; once in a great
while, of one who has killed off his sooie
ty or frozen it out; but stories of this sort
are becoming fewer and fewer, and the
underlying purpose of Christian Endeav-
or has been demonstrated during the
v ear as never before
