Unreliable Statistics.
published by Request.

In the Christian Advocate of New
York, in it's issue for May 1S, Doctor
III. K. Carroll publishes the statistics of
all of the religious bodies in the United
States, except the numerous secret
orders, which are as distinctly relig-
ious as any of the churches named in
his report. The Wesleyan Methodist
Church in the United States is credit
ed with 600 ministers, 470 churches,
10000 members, and charged with
decrease of 95 churches, and 2,100
members. In studying these statistics
we should keep in mind the facts
First, no general statistics have been
gathered in the church since 1895.
Doctor CarrolPs statement of our loss
is said to be for 1898. Hence his fig
CURES cannot be reliable, for no human
being can say with absolute certainty
what our members are for 1898. There
are no statistics available to DR.. Car
roll or any other man. Second, since
1895 there have been organized two
new conferences, one Of them with
several hundred members, and the
other with an honorable membership.
The best informed men in the Connec-
ton can name to us less than half
dozen churches which have become
extinct during the four years since
statistics were gathered, and we know
from the published reports of the or
ganization of more than a score OF new
churches in that time, hence the state
ment that there has been any decrease
in the number of our churches is not
to be depended upon, and to say that
the decrease has been 95 is simply
ridiculous. Either Doctor Carroll has
trusted to sources not trustworthy for
information, or his figures have gotten
strangely mixed. Whatever may be
the cause of this wholly needless mis-
representation of our Church we have
no occasion to be disturbed by it, for
the accurate records are kept by one
who never makes figures tell untruths.
The worthy Doctor could have no rea-
son for misrepresenting the Wes leyaH
Methodist Church, and this fact joined
to the uniform courtesy and honorable
justice which SO prominently distin-
guish the Rev. James NJ. Buckley, ID.
D., the editor of the Christian Advo-
cate, to which we would add the pleas
ant evidences of his friendship, lead us
to conclude with special satisfaction
that the error is exclusively one of
figures and not in any sense a viola
ton of the courtesy and rectitude
heretofore SO satisfactory, as respects
both the Christian Advocate and
Doctor Wesleyan Methodist.

we may assume that such interest is

Of"
This statute was never intended to
have the effect and cannot now be
construed as having the effect, of null
lifying the principle of law we have
been considering, known as all equit-
able estoppel. Money paid without au-
thority of law means money paid out
by the Board of Supervisors upon
claims based upon a subject matter
not within the scope of the powers of
the board. In other words. it is the
application of the moneys of the county
to purpose not within the general
powers of the board. But the power of
a Board of Supervisors to construct
brides, to build and lay out roads, to
secure easements in the form of rights
of way for. public travel, are matters
within the jurisdiction of the Board of
Supervisors. Again, in subdivision OF
section % of the County Government
Act the board has the power to pur-
chase or lease real or personal property
necessary for the use of the county.

is the owner of everything pertaining

not split hairs in giving a technical

This is an action to recover $15. 900
and 20 per cent. in addition thereto as
damages from the aforesaid defend
ants. Judgment was rendered for the
amount claimed and an appeal is now
taken from that judgment and from
the order denying the motion for a
new trial.
The facts in substance are these: The
California Pacific Railroad Company
contemplated building a railroad bridge
across the Sacramento River at Sac
ramento City, connecting the counties
of Sacramento and Yolo. The con-
struction of this bridge would result in
the demolition of the old railroad
bridge between the two counties, which
also was used by the public for travel
in vehicles. on foot, etc, and would
thereby necessarily prevent travel from
ore county to the other. The Board
of Supervisors of Sacramento County,
hearing of the contemplated improve
ment. entered into negotiations with
the California Pacific Railroad Com
pany whereby it was agreed that the
board should pay to it $4,000 upon
December =, 1893 and $4,000 upon
the completion of the structure.
In consideration of the aforesaid
agreement on the part of the county,
