A Foolish Rumor.

The latest canard is the story that the tariff
law is to be contested in the courts on the
ground of unconstitutionalty. This is pre-
sumably OH the point that it is a revenue bill,
and that 1t substantially originated in the
senate, whereas the constitution declares that
all revenue bills shall originate in tho house,
although tho senate may amend them. II is
well known that the tariff law is a senate
amendment to house bill, modified in con-
ference committee The amendment con-
sisted ofa substitute for all but the enacting
clause, but it was nevertheless technically an
amendment Every enrolled bill has
indorsed upon it certificate by the secretary
of the senate, or the clerk of the house, stat
ing in which house it originated. 1t also has
the signature of the presiding officer of each
body. The tariff law has of course the in
dorsement upon it by the clerk of the house
of n certificate that it originated in that body,
and the genuineness of the record is attested
by the president of the senate and the
speaker of the house. How absurd to sup
pose that the courts would listen to the
question as to whether this statement of
fact was founded on wrong construction of
the parliamentary law concerning amend
ments by Vice President Edmunds and
Speaker Keifer. Courts never attack tho
duly certified acts of legislative bodies. So
well known is this that we should not have
deemed the rumor worth noticing had it not
an interview with Judge Kelley on the sub
ject been deemed worth while by that jour-
nal

AMUSEMENT NOTES.

Janausohek played the Countess Mansfcldt in
the drama entitled "Mother and Son" tits a
curious fact that this play which, with all It's re-
lleving touches OF light and sweetness, has yet
rather depressing influence, should have outlived
the novel upon which IL was founded-out-
lived 1t so far indeed that the novel Is
merely memory preserved by the play. 1t
is a pretty and a touching story, we'll provided
with an element OF somber strength In the iron
will ofthc old Countess. 1t touches upon human
ity at many points, and always with n true and
firm hand: and Its romance though trite, is pure
and pretty. It Is admirable to see Janauschek put
life aud color into the principal character which,
in her hands, becomes o living and noble one,
ruled for pleasure and for pain by one passion, in
domitable OF soul, proud, full Of authority, yet
having a vast capacity for kindness. 1t Is finely
tempered, natural yet vivid, performance, in
which a magnificent reserve OF power Is every
where felt. 1t was thoroughly appreciated by u
comfortably large audience.

The singular circumstances of the will of
tho Baltimore millionaire, Samuel G. Wyman.
brings up the question, which lawyers have
frequently agitated, whether anybody should
be allowed to make will at all. As it is, the
law disposes of a mans property with the ut
most fairness to all the survivors of his fam
lily, and in case Of one whom the testator
wishes to benefit, it would be as well If Il
were understood that such provision should
be made during life But these cases
are very much rarer than is imagined; ninety
people out of hundred wish their families to
have the benefit Of what they leave behind
them. But they think in necessary to make
a will. If the testator wishes TO be very pru-
dent he goes to u lawyar to write his will,
and imagincs that 1t can bG done with
all the ease in the world. Now the writing ofa
will is one of the most difficult of things,

tator. When, however, a man starts out to
write his own will, as a rule ho Is inexpert

in human nature. Dickens speaks of tho in

A Purely Imaginary Fact.

The Chicago Journal, falling in with the
truly independent fashion of assuming state
of things to suit its wishes regardless of the
truth, remarks concerning the payment of
pensions, that "it is notorious fact that q
large portion of the money goes to profess
sional pension sharks, and the time will come
when the people will insist upon thorough
investigation of the existing pension business,
and that the rolls shall be cleared of fraud"
If the Journal had kept as nearly abreast of
events as even an independent newspaper
ought, its "notorious fact" would have
dematerlalized. Precisely such an investiga-
tion as that suggested was finished a few
weeks ago. Four commissioners in q thor
ough examination found that only one quar-
ter of one per cent of the whole amount paid
in pensions had been obtained by fraudulent
representations. When it is considered that
between Jan. /, 1861, and Jan. l, 1885, the
sum of $50 274, III, ,67 had been paid as pensions
and when ii is further considered that the
pension Office has been made point Of attack
by hundreds. of thousands of dishonest people
whose ingenuity in the invention and men,
dlcity in the substantiation of claims might
have taken in the very elect, it is surprising

and two farm servants. The relatives
came before the courts and, while acknowl-
edging the validity of tho will, argued
against its injustice and demanded u share Of
the estate, which they got. Mr. wyman was
considered one Of tho clearest headed busi-
ness men In Baltimore, and, at the same time,
his conduct about tho disposition of his
property was singularly weak. The best
will that was ever made, perhaps, was the
shortest. 1t was contained in these words:
81 leave my property to my wife" There
was no room for litigation in that testament; (;
1t was short, plain, and to the point, and did
not leave peg to hang doubt upon.

We glory in Henry Wattcrson's pluck. He

comet. And all the while, as he draws the

around the form of his beautiful old girl, the

test against any more Of such nonsense and
from the blazing furnaces in Missouri and

1t is all right. Let the discussion
90 on. OF course the Kentucky democrats
have no love for Henry Clay's American
system, but it is not so with the old wings
of tho south or their sons. Nor arc the
progressive democrats of that region con-
tented longer to thumb the free-trade argu-
ments of their old schoolmen when in the
living present they see before them the
northern civilization, based on diversified
industries made possible by protection, in
viting the cooperation of the richly en-
dowed south, dwarfed for half century
by slavery to the cotton plant, The new era
dawns. The future is full of promise, for
freedom of discussion is being asserted in the

democratic free trade cannot survive. OF

SOME Partisan bummers having started the
absurd story that President Grevy intends to
resign, the London Times correspondent at
Paris deals with IL as fact and solemnly re.
cites as reasons for il "the constant strides
of radicalism, the chronic instability of cabi-
nets the insults Of reactionary organs, and
the threats made at anarchist meetings.p
To distant observer it would appear that,
while cabinets in France do change more
frequently than in England, radicalism has
done great deal more striding of late in
Dublin than in Paris. AS for threats at
anarchist meetings in the French capital,
they pale their Intellectual fires before the
awful crimes with which desperate enemies
of tho British government in ireland have
horri9ed mankind. And yet if in Dublin the
story should be started that the queen was
about to abdicate on account Of Irish dis
orders, it would be regarded as very
ridiculous yarn, and one hardly worth
tolegraphing with comments to the journals of
Paris. But Of course Britannia rules the
