The Anderson Will Case Settled.

The controversy over the will of Mrs Eliz-
abeth Anderson, who died April 10, 1881, at
stMontrose, her home, near Reisterstown,
Baltimore county, has been settled. Mrs.
Anderson left an estate appraised at Sl3l, 600.
She distributed S24, 900 among the represent
tatives of her sister, Maria Murray, and her
brothers, William and Robert Stirling, and
gave Montrose to Archibald Stirling, Jr., and
the remainder of the estate to her brother,
Archibald Stirling, Sr.
The will is as follows:-"l give and be-
queath to Stirling Murray, son of my late
sister, Maria Murray, $4,000; to Alexander
Murray, son of Maria Murray, $4,000; to
Douglass Stirling, son of my late brother,
William Stirling, $500; to William Stirling,
Elizabeth r. Stirling and Archibald L. Stir
ling, children of William Stirling, each 81, 500;
to the heirs of my late brother, Robt. Stir
ling, So, 900, to be equally divided among them;
the children of my late nephew, VIM. Stir
ling, son of Robert, to take equally between
them the share to which William Stirling
would be entitled if living; to my nephew,
Archibald Stirling, Jr., son of my brother,
Archibald Stirling, ST., the farm in Baltimore
county called "Montrose," on which | reside,
and all other lands in Baltimore county be-
longing to me, together with all stock OF
horses, cattle and provender thereon, the
household furniture and other personal pro.
perty pertaining thereunto, to his heirs and
assigns; the residue of the estate, real, per-
sonal and mixed, to my brother, Archibald
Stirling, Sr., whom | appoint my executor.
The will was filed in the Orphans Court OF
Baltimore county, and proved April 20, 1881.
The caveat Directing to the will was filled
September 20, 1882, by Elizabeth r. Stirling,
daughter of Mrs. Anderson brother, William
Stirling, of the late firm of Stirling Il Ahrens,
sugar refners; Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Stirling,
widow of William Stirling; Archibald I. Stir
ling, son of William Stirling Stirling Murray
and Alexander Murray, now of Loudoun CO.,
Va; Harriet L. Gable, daughter of Robert
Stirling, and her husband, James II. Gable.
The caveators claimed that Mrs. Anderson
was not capable of making will because of
an attack Of apoplexy few days before the
execution of the paper purporting to be her
will. The defendant averred that Mrs. An
derson was of sound mind. Issues were made
and tried in the Superior Court, Judge Brown
presiding. The trial began November "a,
1884, and resulted December 10, after eigh-
teen days actual trial, in verdict sustaining
the will. Judge Brown ruled that there was
no sufficient evidence of undue influence, the
execution was admitted, and the only ques-
ton left for the jury was the one of mental
capacity. The plaintiffs appealed, and the
case was sent back for another trial. This
will be avoided by the settlement, the terms
of which are that Mr.. Archibald Stirling, ST.,
pays to the contestants the sum of $4,000
and the legacies under the will. The costs
are equally divided.

Multiplying the Civil Service Law.


Mr.. Randall, il is said, proposes to put a
provision in the Legislative appropriation
bill that will virtually annul the Civil Service
Law. The bill will make an appropriation
for the Civil Service Commission, but will
provide that it shall only be available when
''the rules of the Commission are so framed
as that the names of all applicants from any
one state found duly qualified on examina-
ton, and without regard to age, shall be sent
to the head Of a department or other ofhcer
charged with making an appointment" The
rule now is, that only the names of the four
highest on the list of eligible applicants are
sent to the appointing officer.
The Civil Service Law as it now is, is very
defective. To amend it might be difficult
matter, and Mr.. Randall has probably chosen
the proper mode for speedy change in the
right direction. If fifty persons pass an ex-
animation, there is no reason why the names
of the entire fifty should not be certified to the
appointing officer. The right to hold Office
and participate in government is one that be-
longs to every citizen. To say to people that
are above thirty-fve or forty-fve years of age
that they are not eligible to public positions,
is virtually to deprive them of the rights of
citizenship. Ifthey are not permitted to par
ticipate in the government, they cannot be
expected to take much interest in its welfare
A Civil Service law that would require APP
plicants for public position to pass proper
examination such examinations as are now
required-would be good one. That is the
only kind that we should have; and it should
provide that every appointee's term should
expire with that ofthe person appointing him.
The present law is odious in nearly oil its
,,rovisions

At Featherstone's foundry, at Chicago,
some seventy-fve men were employed. When
the eight-hour agitation began the employees
concluded eight hours was sufficient for any
man to work, and demanded of Mr.. Feather
stone that he adopt the eight-hour day. Their
demand was reluctantly granted, and they
went to work on the eight-hour system. AT
ter week or two the employees tired of it, and
demanded return to the ten-hour system.
Mr.. Featherstone told his men that he did not
believe they knew what they wanted; that he
had Inconvenience himself and arranged his
business to meet their views, and could not
changed his plans every day to snit the whims
of his men. The employees are now on a
strike for return to the ten-hour day. What
Mr.. Featherstone should do, is to employ new
men,

A Great Railroad Event.


On Tuesday next, June l, the change of
gauge on the entire fve-foot system of
Southern railroads will be changed to four
feet nine inches, so as to make the tracks
uniform throughout the United States. 1t is
proposed to change the gauge of $4,000 miles
of track, of which IA, 900 will be done in one
day. Practically on June 2, passenger or
freight car may leave Portland, Maine, San
Francisco or Chicago and traverse without
change of trucks or bulk every mile of road
in the country to New Orleans, Texas or
Florida. This is in many respects the most
important railroad event, stupendous in Its
physical features, that has transpired in this
country. The agreement was made between
the Southern companies for the simultaneous
change at a convention held in Atlanta on
February 5. The several companies have
since that time been preparing for the new
departure, which entails large amount of
work. The change of gauge, costing SIS to
500 mile, is not the largest item.
In fact, this viii be Insignificant as com
pared with the expense and revolution in
requiring every engine, passenger, mail, ex.
press, baggage and freight car to be changed
in gauge. This will be greater or less in pro-
portion as roads have more or less contem-
plated the change.

United States and Canada.

All New England is agitated over the de-
teption ola Yankee fishing smack by Canadian
authorities, and is very impatient because the
government at Washington don't do some
thing Immediately. Even Senator Frye, OF
Maine, who should know that it would be
improper for the United States to act on ex
parte reports, could not contain himself, and
he addressed note to Secretary Bayard on
the subject urging prompt action. The Sec
rotary, in courteous reply, snubbed the
fashy statesman, by remarking that he trust
ed he was properly conscious of his duty, and
that the interests and honor of the country
would not suffer in his hands. New England
has never made any great rush IN defence OF
this country, either in the war of indepen-
dence, the war of 1924, the Mexican war,
or in the late civil war. When tie fishery
interests are interfered with, her pocket, the
tenderest point, is touched, and that is why
the people of that section are so impatient
over settlement of the differences. If the
Canadian authorities have acted wrong, due
PREPARATION will be demanded, but no hasty or
il-advised action will or ought to be taken.
Mr.. Bayard is a prudent and conservative
statesman, and can be relied upon to act
promptly and wisely. The honor and inter
ests of the country will not suffer in his hands,
neither will the United States appear as a
bully. This government is the most power
full on the globe. No other, nor any two
others, could cope with us, but that is no
reason why we should be aggressive. onthe
contrary we can afford to be conservative and
magnanimous. When this fishing smack bu-
siness is sifted, it will be found that Canada
was either right, or acted solely from mis-
conception of the treaty laws. If the latter
shall appear, due reparation will be promptly

MEssRs EDIToRs I'm your last week S
issue of the ADVOCATE notice a local item
in its columns concerning a curiosity in the
shape of a 'sshinplaster," brought to your
Office by a certain gentleman of your county,
which was a reminder of past days. | also
have in my possession a memento of the past
in the shape of Harrison medal, struck off
at the time that Gen. w. H. Harrison ran the
second time for President, in 1910. The
medal is about the size of a silver dollar aud
stamped upon both sides. Upon the face is
medallion portrait of Gen. Harrison in n
major generals uniform, and above his head
is the following Msjor-G Gen. w. II. Harri-
son." Below the portrait is the following
'iBorn February 0, 1913. Upon the trans
verse side there is a cut representing log
cabin. from the top of which floats the Amer
lean flag. At one corner of the cabin stands
a tree, and under the tree rests barrel, and
upon the barrel there rests cup. Above
this cut is the following Peoples
Choice Below-"The Hero of Tippeeanoe. F"
My father, at the time of the Harrison cam
paign, was a resident of Carroll county, and
although an ardent admirer of Harrison's
military prowess gained in the late war with
England, his vote was cast for Martin Van
Buren,, the Democratic candidate and oppo-
nent of Harrison, who represented the Wing
party. Personally l do not remember the
Harrison campaign, as / did not make my
advent into the world until twenty three years
later, but have often listened to the remi-
niscences and incidents connected with that
time by my father, now deceased, and also of
the campaign cry of 'log cabin and hard
cider" which he said was used in derision OF
Harrison, who was said to live in a cabin and
drink hard cider The medal in regard to a
metal value is of no consequence, as it is cast
of lead, but l value it very much for its rarity,
and also for the associations and by.gone
times with which it was connected. Yours,

Judge Cooley on Labor Disputes.

Judge Thomas NJ Cooley's promised arti-
Gle ON .sArbitration in Labor Disputes ap-
pears in The FoRuM for June. The writer
states that the hest remedies in labor contro-
versies are those that are preventive in their
nature. and have for their purpose to prevent
a mere difference becoming an unfriendly
controversy. Mutual interests and mutual
confidence between employer and employe Is
the starting point of harmonious action, and
then arbitration to settle any differences that
NAV arrive. Judge Cooley would not have
statutory tribunal, because they could not be
clothed with power to prescribe terms Tor the
fniure. except through the establishment OF
desno,ic government. A statutory tribunal
without such power, would be valueless, and
he merely standing board offering its SER
vices in arbitration. The one that would be
valuable. he thinks, would be one established
by the parties in interest, composed of an
equal number of employers and men, chosen
by them respectively. This board to consider
the points ut issue in all their phases, with
the power To call in an umpire, where agree
ment seems impossible, and both sides be
bound in honor to abide by the decision.
Judge Cooley's conclusions are good
Neither the general government nor state
can effect anything by legislation, nor have
they the power to interfere. Disputes be-
tween employer and employe are private
matters. with which the law has nothing to do.
They can give protection against violence,
either to person or property, but can go no
further.
Arbitration is the only remedy, and unless
there is a feeling of confidence on the part OF
the employe that the employer does not de-
sire to Cypress him, and upon the part OF the
employer that the employe feels an interest
in his welfare, and an agreement on honor to
abide by the decision of the tribunal, arbltra-
ton will be of no permanent value.
A little law to exclude socialists and com
munists from this country, and to teach for
eieners who come here that this is a land OF
liberty, and not license, might be beneficial,
and be a good starting point to pave the way
for peaceful arbitration.

Financiers are.fgnring on the loss to me-
chanics and laborers in Chicago, caused by
strikes. Carpenters and builders, alone, tits
estimated, will lose four millions of dollars.
The strikes in other trades are causing great
loss also, and there must be large falling off
in business of all kinds as well as loss in
wages If there could be an estimate of the
loss throughout the country, occasioned by
strikes, the total would be appalling. There
is better feeling now, and many industries
are resuming, but the losses cannot be made
up, and scant food, clothing and fuel, with
the consequent suffering, may be looked for
when the cold blasts of winter blow.

To Wheat Growers.

WESTMINSTER, May 26, 1886.
MEssRs. EDITORS In short trip through
the country few days ago, | was surprised
to see with what indifference the farmers treat
their wheat fields. The majority ofthem have
a large quantity of rye in them, some of them
fully one fifth rye. From the market reports
there will be good crop of wheat this year,
and the farmers can only expect to gets good
price for good article; and as wheat with
rye in it is only fit for the lower grades of
flour, millers will be obliged to make diff
ference in price Of same. There is still time
to remedy the evil, and too strong language
can not be used u urge upon the farmers the
necessity of cutting out the rye now.
Respectfully, OBSERVER.
