A Lost Estate Recovered.

Judge Fisher has set aside the deed Of trust
made by Ernault II. Williams, of Baltimore.
to his father, Hon. George Hawkins Williams,
and restored to the young man his estate.
Looking at the case through the newspaper
accounts IL was full Of romance, but after it
passed through tho ordeal of judicial analysis
it became sufficiently commonplace. Young
Williams inherited al estate of about n
quarter of a million dollars from his grand
father, the late John s. Cuttings, we'll
known Baltimore banker. He was weak
youth, somewhat given to drinking, but
rather stingy in disposition and not disposed
to squander his inheritance He fell in love
with young lady who was superior to him
in every respect except in wealth, and a
rumor went abroad that they were to be
married. Tho elder Williams was greatly
opposed to the match. He supposed that the
young lady was going to marry Ernault for
his money, and il occurred to him that II
this inducement was taken away she would
reject him,
| The young man was persuaded to mako a
trust deed, conveying all his property to his
father. reserving nothing to himself but an
income of $1,000 year. Immediately after
making this deed Ernault went to Europe,
but returned in few months, married the
lady to whom he had been engaged, and filed
a bill in equity against his father to recover
possession of his property. The suit turned
upon the state of his mind at the time he ex'
ecuted the deed of trust. II was shown that
he was greatly disturbed by letter from a
very distinguished physician concerning his
physical condition, which contained an i'm
piled threat to make known the facts to the
lady to whom he was engaged. While under
the influence of the fears aroused by this
letter, and weakened by intemperance ant
vicious habits the deed was signed.
Judge Fisher holds that the elder Williams
had no right to take advantage of his som
depressed condition to induce him to par
with his estate. Tho consideration of 81
important a matter ought to have been post
pOned until he was relieved from the frigh

municipal government Of Baltimore city. All
state officers are prohibited from soliciting or
receiving contributions for political pur-
poses, and no employe of the state govern
ment can be interfered with for giving, with
holding, or neglectiDg to make political
contribution, The governor is required to
appoint three civil service commissioners for
the city Of Baltimore, who are to servo with
out pay themselves, but they are to employ
an examiner at 81 500 year and counselor
at $1,000. The bill defines tho class of city
employees who are to bo brought within its
scope, and its general features are not unlike
the national civil service law. No person
will assume much risk in saying that neither
of these bills will be passed.

prices while tho American manufacturers,
using better bark, putting it through moro
expensive process, and paying higher wages
to their employees, would not be able to CONF
roto with tho foreigners,
Whether the removal Of tho duty has
brought down the wholesale price Of quinne
or not we have not been advised, but wo
have never heard of prescription calling for
alphas quinia being filled at n lower price
since tho act Of 1850 was passed than before.
1t would seem, however, that the assertions
made by the manufacturers as to their in
ability to mako the drug as choaply as IL was
Tho factory of Powers & Weightman, Phia-
dolphia, the largest anufacturerr ofduinino
in tho United States was recently burned
And now it is announced that tho firm has
leased the Bouchringer factory at Mannheim,
Germany, and that DIR. Weightman has
gone there with his family to carry on the
business.
Tho reason given is that the manufacture
of the drug costs less in Germany than in the
United States, and there being no duty, 1t
is cheaper for American manufacturers
to go there and make it. Some 5000 bales
of cinchona bark have been shipped from
Philadelphia to Germany for the Powers
Weightman factory at Mannheim. From this
it will DO seen that in the absence of tariff
duty it is more profitable in some cases for
American manufacturers to carry the raw
material to the cheap labor Of Europe and
then send back the manufactured goods than
to make them at home. Remove the tariff and
tho experience of the quinine manufacturers
will be repeated in many other branches OF
business.

A Hint 10 the Commissioners.

The district commissioners seem disposed
to yield their books and records to tho in
spection of press representatives, being
evidently convinced that public sentiment
demands this, and knowing of no reason
why the results of their deliberations
and actions should not be made public.
They also state that they do not desire to
keep any of their actions in regard to dis
trict matters secret from the public, but
there is likely to be a diversity of opinion as
to tho manner in which their proceedings
shall be made public.
1t is here very respectfully suggested that
no moro exclusiveness is Necessary in the
government of this district than in that of
any city in the land Let the commissioners
hold regular meetings as do the common
councils of every other city. Let the meet
ipgs of the commissioners be as open to the
public as are tho meetings of aldermen.
These two conditions being complied
with, any citizen will know what now mat
ters are proposed or are under consideration
and what final action is taken upon them.
He will also know when and where to present
his petition or grieyonce to all the commits
sioners together, whereas now he can never
find them together and is apt to be tossed
about from one to another until he finally
discovers the commissioner who has jurisdic-
tion over his case.
Thon let the commissioners at once roscind
their order which forbids employees giving
information. Let them inform tho heads of
all the departments that public records are
for public inspection. These things being
done the course of the district government
will be clear and open, tho newspapers will
see that the public knows what is going on
and tho commissioners will be
relieved of much suspicion which is doubt
less unjust and unfounded. We have no
desire to do the commissioners injustice, and
feel satisfied that they want to do the right
thing. The commissioners have made them
selves thoroughly and intensely disliked by
their dark-lantern policy of doing public
publncsS' ny throwing opeu tne uoors, anu
doing business in the broad light
of day, they can in great measure
win the hearty good will of nine
tenths of tho very men who are boiling over
with indignation at the manner in which
affairs are administered. We will take pleas
urc in lighting the way of the commissioners
| Ia tho heirht of desnryed nnnular rity Lat
them got near to tho people.

as follows: The appropriation for fire, lights,

gomery, Ala, $4,000; court house and post
Office at Philadelphia, $4,000; and custom

of those amounts shall be so OK
pended as to complete the furnishing
of the building for which it is appropriated,
and that all furniture now owned by the
United States in other buildings in said cities
shall be used as far rs practicable, whether it
corresponds with the present regulation plans
| for furniture or not.
A new item of S., 1903 is added for stationery
for the use of thel interior department in wrap
ping and mailing the reports of the tenth
| census.
The item of $40 900 for incidental expenses
of the several land offices is increased to $50,
600, and now item of $500. for protecting

The provision that thereafter no depart
ment or officer of the United States shall ac-
cept voluntary service for the government or
employ personal services in excess of that
authorized by law" is stricken out.
A new item is added to make an appropri-
alton Of $1,000 for the contingent expenses of

Now THAT the Virginia legislature has ad
.journed Gov. Cameron will be permitted to
take rest. He has had long tussle with
rabid bourbonsm, and has borne the burden
of the contest with the fortitude of a true
hero. The bourbons set out with the deliber-
ate purpose Of unseatng enough read.
justers to give them two-thirds majority in
both branches of the Legislature, and when
this was accomplished they trampled on the
executive veto with reckless disregard for
law, and fact, and justice, Although it was
hopeless battle Gov. Cameron met the revo-
lutionists at every point with arguments
which could not he answered; but nothing
could avail against the tyranny of unreason-
ing political malice. Although defeated in
his effort to maintain the established laws OF
the commonwealth from being recklessly
overthrown, he defended the executive pre-.
rogatives with such ability and dignity as Ia
command the admiration of the whole Goun,
try. No man has filled tho gubernatorial
chair of Virginia in this generation more
worthily than William f. Cameron.

Tho Louinianna Revolt.

o. LOUIS ftpuOtlcdH kDeWJ
1t cannot be disguised that this is serious mat
ter, 1t is plain menace of a democratic state to
withdraw from the democratic party in The ap-
preaching national contest, and denysi eight
ELECTORAL votes TO the democratic presidential
ticket in case the present congress shall pass the
Morrison bill. If the one Numbered rice and
sugar planters who took this action really repre-
sent the people of Louisiana, then IL Is ques .
ton for the democratic majority in the house to
consider whether the eight electoral votes ofthat
state are worth retaining ut the cost of abandon
ment of the Morrison bill, and complete back
down on the tariff question The democratic party
would deeply regret the loss ofcvcn as small a
state as Louisiana, endesred 10 II by the recol-
lections Of many hardships aud contumelies in
fictcd by the other national party; but If the
action Of Louisiana ia an indication of the
change in party lines OF division which the tariff
question is TO bring about, perhaps more than a
compensation for the loss Of that state will be
found in the accession 10 the democratic side OF
other states with much larger number Of cleo
toral votes,
