A Case in the Wrong Court.

Judge McGrorty filed an order yesterday grant
ing the motion to dismisss the petition of Robert
a. Smith for an order directing John Jones as
executor of the will of VIM. l.. Mintzer de-
ceased, to convey to petitioner lot 2, block 10,
Robert and Randalls addition to st. Paul
valuable property near Hotel Ryan. The petit
ton was filed under chapter So of Youngs
statutes, but the judge held that by reason of
the special matters pleaded in the petition and
the nature of the relief therein prayed
the probate court has no jurisdiction
TO entertain the petition grant such relief The
petition sets forth that on the 18th of March.
1888, Mintzer was the owner of the lot subject to
certain pretended tax titles held by Anna r.
Mintzer, his wife, and subject also to the con-
| tngent statutory interest of his wife in case of
his death leaving her surviving. That on said
day the said deceased, by John R. Burkhart, his
duly authorized agent sold and contracted TO
! convey said lot to C. N. Dittman for SIS, 900,
and that Mintzer died before the con-
tract could be executed, and that
Aug. s, 1888, Dittman assigned the contract to
the petitioner for a valuable consideration; that
by reason of the death of Mintzer the title TO an
undivided one-third of his real estate was vested
in Anna r. Mtzner, the widow: that the widow
now refuses to convey her interest or to comply
with the contract. The potion also claims that
of the tax titles, and alleges that it would re-
quire at least $500 expense in litigation to clear
said titles from off the property
The petitioner asks the decree of the court di-
recting the executor TO convey the lot to him,
and II the executor should be unable to execute
conveyance that will convey said lot in fee sim
pie, free of the claim of the widow, then that he
be directed to convey such interest as can be
transferred by his deed. and that petitioner be
allowed a proportionate abatement from the
agreed purchase price of the lot.

Manufacture Of White Lead.

It is well known to those at all famil-
lar with the process of manu- acture of
white lead that it is attended with much
danger to life and health, but recently
there has been brought into operation,
though not yet generally adopted, a
new process by which it is claimed the
pur,st and best quality of white lead
can be produced at one-sixth the time
required by the old method. at consider
ally less cost and danger 10 health.
The process is described as follows:
The metallic lead cast into the form
of gratings, and bent into narrow
arches, is closely ranged in order upon
wooden trays covered with pure sheet
tin--the most practica ly useful electro
negative to be had. Dipped by me.

of corrosion, they are pla ed in cham
bers built of brick from twelve feet
square and upwards, having glass
roof and windows for observation, and
having floor of the electromagnetic
and highly le2tro-conductive tin heated
from beneath by steam to the necessary
temperature of about 40 degrees Fab
renh it. These chambers may each
contain as small a quantity as from
eight to ten tons of lead, and range up
to 500 or 1000 tons. Gases, composed
of mixture of acetic acid yapor and
atmospheric air at a similar tempera-
ture are introduced by stoneware pipes
from an ingenious apparatus where
they are generated; and passing
through holes in the pipes few inches
from the Uncovered floor of the cham.
Der, they pass upward, and permeating
the whole chamber, electric action
commences. At the end of the
second day there is a beautifully
white surface. On the third day car
bonlc acid vapor is introduced by the
same means, Fastening still more
the formation of white lead. This
goes on for two weeks, at the close
of which time, SO active has been the
action OF the substances engaged, by
reason of the electrical energy, that
there is more white lead formed than
under three months working of the
same amount of lead by the old pro-
cess. The gases are then shut off,
the chamber cooled, ventilated, opened
and the contents withdrawn, the trays
being emptied through special
hopper into the ''agitator," hori-
aontal cage of round iron bars re-
volving in a closed case. After be-
ing rotated a few minutes, the whole
of the white lead is disengaged and
falls into n pit underneath, leaving
the cores that have not been con-
verified in the cage. from which they
are collected and remeIted for further
use. From the pit the white lead is
conveyed to the mill by an endless
band, on which are fixed number of
small buckets, which, filling themselves
with the white lead as they pass
through the pit at the bot ON, dis
charge it into the mill as they turn over
at the top, whence, after passing
through the crushing rollers, the
white lead falls into the mixer, and
issues forth when combined with oil,

The Origin of Common Expression.

''Not lost, but gone before,'' is q very
common expression, and yet its true
source has been almost wholly over
looked. 1t has figured as an epitaph
upon the gravestones and has been
utilized by the poets and other writers.
The thought is, indeed, Christian
thought, but the words are the words
of a pagan. 1t was the stole Seneca
who said ''Not lost, but gone befo e."
There is in his thirty-sixth epistle re-
markable sentence, in which we read,
death, which we dread and shun, in
terrupts life, does not take it away; the
day will come agan which Will restore
us to the light which many would shun
unless it brought back those who are
forgotten. The meaning of this is not
that OF the Christian, aud nothing else
in Seneca, so far as we can discover,
can be impaired with the phrase under
consideration. But Cyprian, the mar
tyr, who wrote in the third century,
supplies Us with something definite. In
his discourse ION Mortality" Cyprian
speaks in this language: sour brethren
should not be bewailed when by the
summons of the Lord they are delivered
from the world, for l know that they
are not lost, but sent before mon eos
1nlitti, sed ranlitti). that when they
retire they pref EIDE Tor go before), so
that they ought to be longed after as
those who go on a journey or voyage,
and not lamented." He adds what
might Sc We as a motto for the Funeral
Reform Association. that black gar
ments should not be put on here when
they thave already put on white robes
there. 1t will be seen at glance that
our common saying is almost an e act
rendering of the words OF Cyprian, and
to him we should not hesitate to as
cribe the expression. London Cu,en.

Tariff Debate.

Tomorrow will chronicle the resump-
ton of the tariff discussion, and since the
wavs and means committee have not
been able to agree where the limit Of de-
bate shall be fixed, the tide will continue
to roll in until the sophomores have all
spoken and the house grows weary and
wishes itself dead. Mr.. Morrison reali-
zes that horizontal reduction of the
tariff cannot be secured as prepared by
his bill, but hopes that some good In the
way of tariff reform may come Of it.
What he most fears at this juncture is
the possible success of a motion to strike
out the enacfing clause, which will be
made as soon as the debate Is closed.
Were vote taken now on striking out
the enacting clause, it would fail beyond
question, but what the next few days or
week may bring forth is an unknown
and uncertain quantity. Several men,
bers who voted against consideration
frankly confess that the surplus revenue
must be reduced in some way, as the
locking up of such vast sums in the
treasury will create financial disaster at
no distant moment. The. question is,
.sHow shall the danger be averted?" The
choice must be made between the reduc-
ton of customs dues, or the abolition of
internal taxation If the 100000 now
collected on sugar were taken of. il
would help amazingly, but sugar interests
at the south would suffer- The problem
is far from solution, but must be met
sooner or later.

Tenure of ONCE.

Mr.. Mutchler, committee on civil Scrv-
ice reform, moved to suspend the rules
and pass the bill repeating the sections
of the revised statutes restricting the
terms of certain ctticers to four years. He
said the simple purpose of the bill was to
repeal the act of 1920 and acts supple
mentary thereto, which limit the term of
certain presidential appointees to four
years. The consequence Of those laws
was that every four years the senate and
president were apt to come in conflict
regarding officers whose terms had ex-
pired, and, when there was contest.
offices remained vacant till it was ended.
The measure in no way affected the right
of the president to remove officials.
Mr.. McMillin thought the house should
hesitate before it undertook, under sus-
pension of the rules, to repeal law
which had stood on the statute books for
sixty-four years. The trouble was not so
much with the law as with the malad-
ministration of it. He was opposed to
the bill as being in the direction of life
tenure of Office.
Mr.. Willis said the gentleman was
utterly mistaken as to the character of
the measure. Not one word of it con-
templated life tenure OF office. There
were in this county political and nom
political offices, and not one of the latter
was affected by the bill. 1t did not con-
template that congress should tread a
new and untried path, but simply that it
should go back to the original constitu-
tional path prescribed by the fathers of
the government.
Mr.. Springer said the bill made impor-
tant changes in the tenure of certain
officers. The terms of Office of district
attorneys, surveyors general, registers
and receivers, collectors Of customs and
naval officers and surveyors of customs
and postmasters, which we're heretofore
limited to four years, were by this bill
extended during the pleasure ofthe pres
tied Dit, by the second s,;5i)n, chief
justices and associate justices Of terrific
rial courts would hold their offices during
good behavior or until the territory was

In view Of the probable change in the
