THE UNWRlTTEN LAW UPHELD.
A Case In Court Where the Statutes Them-
selves Stood No Show.

A Case In Court Where the Statutes Them-
selves Stood No Show.
NEW YORK, November S.-By a recent
decision of the court of appeals, the un-
written law has been upheld as against the
plain terms of the statutes, and the
case is one that will not only become
historic, but is absolutely new in the juris-
prudence of this State. In brief, the de-
cision is this: That a prospective
beneficiary under will cannot acquire
the property bequesthed to him, if
by a criminal act he perfects his title to the
property described in the testament. In
the case at hand the prospective beneficiary
secured control of property by 'wiIlful muir
der, and, after due conviction, presumed to
set up his claim under the will of the vic
tim, as ii he had been a law-abiding citizen.
The history of the affair gives peculiar
view of law, for the Supreme Court affirmed
that the murderer under the statute had an
absolute right to the property bequeathed
to him in the will, and the Court
of Appeals has reversed this de-
cision, with the dissent Of Judge Gray.
The would-be legatee, when 15 years old,
poisoned his grandfather with stTychnine,
to prevent his altering the existing will,
leaving him the estate worth some 81, ,000

Judge Prendergast yesterday refused
TO admit to bailWm. Il. Kent, convict

said: "The time has come when the

decided that fraud and trickery in
election matters must come To an end.

the election proper"

no one would cry much If 1t were so
and should succeed.

DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH.

Thos. G. Sherman, of Brooklyn, has
an article in the November Forum, in
which he eiiectually dissipates the
common idea that wealth is more even
| ~ distributed in the U. S. than in
England The richest man in Eng
land, the Duke Of Westminster, is
worth but $50, 900, 900; the richest Of the
Rothchilds but $l7,OOO,OOO. The an
nual income Of the richest 100 English
men is but $450,000 each, while OF the
richest 100 Americans is over 81 200,
600 each. Against S50,0O0,000 as the
richest Englishman, grading from that
down to one million. in all not number
| ing over 1900, our miilionaires start
with AstOr at $3.50, 900, 600, the Wander
| bilts 800, 900, Packer estate So
100000, Russell Sage and six Others
$50, 600, 900, and so on grading down to
81 600, 900, the number cannot be less
than 5000 who own more than halfof
all the wealth Of the United States,
and practically the whole wealth of
the country is owned by $50, men.
Condensed, Mr.. Shearman's figures
show that in England the rich, or
those worth 1925 900 and over, number
DID,, 800 families; and the working men,
worth not less than $500 per family,
number 1929, 100. In this country the
rich, worth not less than 1886, 800, num-
Der 235, $40: the middle class, worth not
less than $4,000, number 200, 900, and
wOrkingmen worth 1868 number H.
$50, 600. Showing that in millionaires
this country outnumbers England, in
proportion to population, three to one;
in the middle claSses-the moderately
rich-worth from $3.50, 600 down to S.,
600, England outnumbers the U. S.,
in proportion TO population, at least
three to one; while among the working
people with from S., 600 down to $500,
the numbers in this country and Eng
land, in proportion to population, are
about equal.
The conclusion of Mr.. Sherman
from his figures is alarming: "Within
30 years, the present method Of taxa
ton being continued, the United
States will be substantially owned by
less than $4,000 persons, constituting
less than one in 800 of the adult popu-
lation."

also reduce rates on freight. These

IL there was at any time any doubt

Fridays edition Of that sheet to the

that doubt. The nastiness Of the re-

filth can only proceed from sneak
/ and coward like Doc Norton, who
even in his reply has not the face to
sign his name, but hides behind an
Anonymous 3D." The Doc may ran
as much as he pleases about the sher-
| iff's pay, he may howl until his mouth
| is sore that the treasurer and other
county officers are banded together to
keep the treasury empty" but when
it comes to the facts, no man is more
open to attack than he, and no sane
man will credit word he says: since
while he charged other men with tax
| ing money from the county treasury
that did not belong to them, and
while his Pecksniifian mouthingS are
still reverberating in the Supervisors
| Room, he rusheS into the treasury and
pulls out Of it 81 900 that he was nc
more entitled to under the law than
the basest "boodler" he had pic
tured as robbing the county in the
same way. And now he tries to crawl
out Of his sty and clean
his skirts by saying that
the Board has power to deter
mine the amount of pay its members
shall receive. OF course it has; and
it had fixed that pay years before Doc
Norton's rant or his cob pipe were
heard about the Court House corridors
while other men worked. He knew
what the Supervisors pay was-is-the
amount fixed by the La Sale County
Board, and he knows also that the
law says in the most positive terms
that as Supervisor he shall not re-
ceive any other compensation or emol-
ument than his mileage and per diem,
either directly or indirectly, for any
purpose whatever. And having taken
| it, he has the colossal impudence to try
to Justify himself on the ground that
the Court House Building Committee
"swore to and collected their $3.50

gust at the fanaticism and folly of
prohibition, rand realization of the
injustice of that form of taxation
called protection which only protects
the classes at the expense Of the
masses. The cities and larger towns
voted against prohibition the rural
districts, where there was no objection
to prohibition, voted for tariff reform.

strument OF civilization the world over
in the last 10 centuries has been the
Christian religion. There are plenty
of civilized Indians on the continent
now, but can one be shown that was
not first chrstainized? In a word, the
exclusion of all religious teaching
from the schools for Indian children
is to abandon their civilization, and
for what other purpose can the schools
