DAVID B. HILL, who was elected
Governor of New York at the last No
vember election, was inaugurated at
Albany on Friday last, New Years Day.
He was elected Lieutenant Governor on
the ticket with Cleveland in 1882, and
assumed the duties of Governor when
Mr.. Cleveland resigned the Office year
ago. Gov. Hill is young man, but he
is very long headed politician, as he
thoroughly demonstrated when he
brought to his solid support in the late
contest in his State all the discordant
elements o! the Democratic party in the
city of New York, upon whose vote the
issue turned. IL takes a shrewd polIti-
clan and a popular Democrat to bring
about this result in the face of a united
and harmonious opposition fighting for
a streng ticket Hn.'s victory in New
I Ork was a great surprise to the Repub-
licans everywhere and threw a dark
cloud over their Presidential prospects
in 1888. If he acts we'll his part and
absolutely silences all intrigues in his
own behalf for the Presidency, that fatal
rock in the sea of politics against which
the otherwise bright prospects of so
many public men have been wrecked,
he may eventually "get there, " to use q
slang phrase; but if he ever allows the
Presidential bee to commence buzzing
in his bonnet, his political epitaph can
be written iu these five words-"Died of
the Presidential fever"
On the same day, Friday last, Fitz-
hugh Lee took the oath of Office at Rich
mOnd as Governor of the State of Vir-
ginia. All the departments of the
government in that State are now in the
hands of the Democrats. Malone. like
Lucifer, has fallen never more to rise,
although he will continue to occupy his
seat in the Z. S. Senate until year
from the 4th OF next March. No public
man in this country ever rose to bad
eminence more suddenly or was hurled
from it more remorselessly than Ma
hone, and Riddleberger's fate will be
the same as soon as the people of Vir-
can pronounce their sentence Of Danish
ment upon him.

IT seems to be fact that Morgan R.
Wise has at last bulldozed the President
out OF an appointment. but the reports
from Washington do not agree as To
where Wise is to go. One statement
is that mis- appointment will require his
local habition to be in Arizona. the
home Of the blOodthirsty, scalp-Iift-
ing Apache Indians. and the other ac-
count is that he has been appointed In
spectOr of Customs at El Paso, Texas.
at salary of five dollars a day, with
the privilege of taking his son along
with him as clerk, at a salary of 81 900
a year El Paso, in western Texas. is

Is, IN Mexico, is the town of El-Paso.

cut-throats, gamblers, horse and cattle
thieves, and Mexican "greasers. " If
Wise's destination is Arizona some evil
disposed Apache warrior will probably
raise his hair, and if he goes 20 Ell Paso
he had better take out big insurance
on his life. OF course the President
didn't think of the possible fate to
which he was exposing the Greene
county statesman when, in order to get
rid OF him, he gave him an office in Tex
as or Arizona, as the case may turn ont
to be.

hardly know enough about Amerman
to warrant US in expressing an opinion
as to his fitness for the place. We only
remember him as a member of the lower
branch of the Legislature in 1888. when
his senseless and aimless course on the
apporUiOnment question cost the State a
good deal of money without any benefit

The Legality Of Bequests for Masses.

We believe the decision just rendered
in Brooklyn by Judge Cullen, OF the
Supreme Court, in the suit Of Holland
against Smyth, is the first case which
has arisen in this State involving the
validity of a testementary provision for
prayers for the dead. The case is there
fore one OF peculiar interest and much
Importance.
The Court of Appeals had previously
held that a contract made with woman
in her lifetime to expsnd certain money
of hers for masses after she should be
dead was valid. The court expressly
declared that there was nothing illegal
/ in the purpose to which she wished her
money applied. and TO which the person
/ to whom she gave il promised and
agreed TO supply il. But no contract
existed in the case presented 10 Mr..
+ Justice Cullen. The testatOr by his
/ will simply gave his residuaIy estate TO
Z his executors to spend in procuring
masses for the TepOse of bis sonl and
I tue question TO be decided was whether
such a provision was good in law.
Judge Cullen holds that il is, and the
/ reasoning by which he reaches this con-
clusion seem to us satisfactory.
There is some difficulty in sustaining
the beQuest as trust, because a living
beneficiary is wanting, nor can 1t be
I upheld as a charitable use, because de-
signed for the benefit of the giver him
self, and so not a charity. The right oil
a man, however, to appropriate by will
as much of his estat as he chooses tC
the erection OF monument to his mem
orv has never been denied by the courts
after the claims of the testatoI's credi-
tors were satisfied. The doctrine that
a man may do what he will with hi:
own has been strongly applied in case;
of this kind in Pennsylvania and New
Jersey. Judge Cullen finds close anal
ogy between such provision for monu-
ments and this provision for masses
In both cases the thing to be done is 70
the benefit of the dead, and if the eX
, peIditure for one purpose is so obviousl,
lawful as uniformly to have been recog
niZed as proper in the courts, why should
not the other purpose, which is just a
worthy, also receive approval
The suggestion has been made that
. distinction exists, because monument
: afford qualification 20 the survivin,
: relatives rather than to the dead them
, selves. This may be answered by Say
: ing that masses also crafty and solac
! the friends OF the deceased. AnOthe
point is that the Catholic Church is th
3 real beneficiary, inasmuch as the none
2 for the masses goes into its Golfers
? This objection is just about as peril
r neIt as as it would be to argue that
bequest for ten-thOusand dollar mon
! ument ought to be condemned by tn
courts because most of the money woul

An Attempt to Upset an Idol.

It is time to call a. halt to the reckless
re- habilitation of history. Here, for ex-
ample, comes a correspondent aud ruth
ieSsly attempts to upset one of our chOic-
est and most cherished traditions. It
always has been accepted that Andrew
Jackson, seventh IN number but among
the first of the Presidents of the United
States, was the son of ScOtch-IriSh pa
rents, who were very poor, at CarTlck-
fergus, Ireland, where his father titled
few rented acres, while his mother
was a scantily paid linen weaver. And,
further, that after emigration to Amer
ica tie paternal Jackson never owned
an acre of land, while after his death
his widow was dependent for support On
the kindness of relatives. But their
boy became somebody.
But now correspondent of The
World, Mr.. William J. Simpson, wri-
ting from Great Victoria street, Belfast,
Ireland, asseIt5 that he has been eL
gagged for some years in genealogical
researches and has been rewarded by
the discovery that the pedigree of An
drew jackson dates from A. D. 9S5.
No doubt, and considerably before, if
only it could be traced. Most of us are
descended from somebody of some time
or other in the most ancient of ages.
But our correspondent discovers that
jackson was directly descended from
the Emperor Charlemagne, from Robert
Bruce, King of Scotland, and from
Henry VII. of England-this last a
most disreputable descent which An
drew Jackson would have Indignantly
disavowed. And right here and now
we, too, protest. Andrew Jackson was
proud of his poor parentage and of his
obscure lineage, which made his own
emlnence, achieved by his own hands
and head and hard work, all The more
conspicuous. while the American peo-
pie are proud of Jackson because he was
a Democrat of the Democrats. N. Y.

WHEN Congress adjourned for the !
holidays it was announced that when il
reassembled on Tuesday last Mr. Ran
dali would offer an amendment to the
Constitution giving the President pow
er to veto separate items in an sppro-
priation bill while approving of the re-
maindtr. That such an amendment
has not long since been adopted by Con-
gIess and submitted to the Legislatures
of the different States for their action,
is owing 20 the simple fact that it would
be in the interest of economy and sure
protection against the systematic
swindling of the Treasury which has
marked the course of that body for so
many years. The robbery is confined
mainly to the River and HsrbOr bill,
through which nearly every member OF
the House attempts to make himself
solid with his constituents, by plum
deriug the Treasury out Of thousands
. Of dollars for tie purpose OF squander-
ing il under the pretenss Of rendering
nayigabls some Insignificant creek OF
shallow river In his district. When
Harry White was IN Congress he played
his hand at this game very neatly and
successfully by securing the insertion in
the River and Harbor bill Of a section
appr0priatIng about twenty thousand
dollars 20 slack water the Kiskiminetas
and COuemaugb. A chief engineer and
his subordinates lived very comfortably
on this Appropriation for year or so
and tickled the people living along the

great results that would follow, but
when the appropriation was exhausted
its purpose had been accomplished and
il might Just as well have been thrown
into the Potomac river. We mention
this swindle as a conspicuous iDstanct
Of the way the Treasury is plundereC

Similar instances occur all over tn
country. If Mr.. Randall offers hi
amendment and Congress adopts 1t,
year more must elapse before it can b

into the Constitution. In the meantime
