grounds for his objections that his

writing offered for probate not being
his fathers will; that Frank Leslie was
not of sound and disposing mind

that if this paper was ever made it
was procured by fraud and undue in
Auence practiced upon him by Myriam

named in the paper, whose maiden

who is otherwise known'as Mrs. Rea-
cock, otherwise Mrs. Squires, other
wise Mrs. Frank Leslie. He also
AYERS that the person named in the

when this paper was executed Frank
Leslie was insane, and incompetent to
dispose of his property,

THE Fusionists of Maine gave them
selves away, to use popular slang, when
they submitted questions to the Su-
preme Court. They ought to have
common Yankee sense enough to
know that they could expect nothing
but an adverse decision from that
court. Every point was decided
against them. 1t was miserable let
down for lack Ofnerve and judgment.
If the FusiOnists had a good case and
had the backing of a majority
of the people, as they claimed,
they ought to have had backbone and
sense enough in their composition to
maintain their rights. If they we're
merely usurpers and pretenders, they
ought to have gone down. Major
Smith, the Fusion governor, says he
is tired of playing the role, and is go
ing home-to the bosom of his family.
Perhaps there will not be any tears
shed. Really, we feel no special in
terest in the Maine business down
this way. 1t was local squabble
among themselves for the sake Of
Office. There was no particular prin-
ciple involved except loaves and
fishes The Democrats and Green
hackers were hungry enough for the
feast, but they seemed to think il
ought to be a free lunch without any
effort on their part. The Republican,
bulldozed them, to use another out,
rageous expression, and out-generalec
them from the start. The Fusionist,
ought to plead the baby act and e
home.

TIVE work of cleaning vaults goes
ON at a rapid rate. The companies
all have orders ahead, but with the
engaged in the business, eunderstand,
utmost industry that can be exercised
we doubt whether all the vaults can
be cleaned out by the first of April.
The mildness of the weather and the
unusually solid condition of thestreets
Sre greatly in our favor, and it is pos
sibJe that the force can be increased.
No work Of this kind should be per-
mitted later than the first Of April.
Whatever we do, let not the mistakes
of the last two years be repeated. In
1878 and 1879 the removal Of garbage,
and the stirring up Of filth and foul
smells continued until yellow
fever put a stop to it. The
air was full of the rank poison,
sud the fever was fed and in
tersifed by the very measures intend
ed to prevent its appearance or spread.
Such work is like pouring oil on a
burning b uilding in the vain attempt

ablo lives were lost, or, we might say,
thrown away ano cruelty sacrificed

was gained at fearful cost. Tho

A MEETING of the friends of suffer
ing Ireland will be held Saturday
evening next at eight o'clock in the
Criminal Court room. The LEDGER
has urged for some time that Memphis
should do something, and that all
classes should be afforded an oppor-
tunity to contribute to the relief Of
the unfortunate people across the
water. Contributions were taken up
in the Catholic churches last Sunday
and an entertainment will be given on
the 18th of March, the proceeds Of
which will be devoted to the relief OF
the suffering people of Ireland. These
efforts are highly commendable as fai
as they go, but they do not reach all
classes. The meeting Saturday night
it is presumed, will accomplish thor
Ough organization with a central re.
lief committee and subcommittee in

be well, we imagine, to give the public
