THE DAVIS WILL CASE.

Public Administrator Murphy's Applica-
ton Goes Over.
The application of James w. Murphy for
special letter of ADMINISTRATION on the estate
of Andrew J. Davis, was continued by the
supreme court yesterday till January next.
This was done by consent of counsel. II
will not'effect the contest being made by
Henry A. Root against the alleged will of
the dead millionaire, nor the objections to
the appointment of John A. Davis as ad-
ministrator. The Murphy side of the
question is matter between him and
James Talbot. The district court APP
pointed Talbot special administrator of
the estate pending the settlement of the
controversy between the heirs. Murphy,
who is public administrator, wants the APP
pointment himself. II the supreme court
sustains either the will or the selection of
John A. Davis rs administrator, the fight
between Murphy and Talbot will have
been for nothing.

What Chicago Saws for Herself.

The Chicago Tribune has most appro-
pirate article touching tho selection of
Chicago as the site Of the Worlds Fair of
1882. Let US note first OF all that the Ti-i-
1,nse, Republican paper, says that whilst
1t was known that fair at New York would
be little but politics, and that of the worst
kind, such was the confidence felt by
southern and western Democrats in the in
tegrity and absence of all partisanship on
the part OF the Chicagoans that they 70.
garded that city as neutral ground, where,
even during presidential year, an expo
sition could be held from which neither
side could possibly derive any advantage.
THAT confidence will be justified" says
the Tribune emphatically.
The Tribune claims that the House of
Representatives at Washington only
obeyed the will Of the people and ratified
Their choice. We now quote:
THE moment il was decided that the
fair should be American, not foreign ma
tional. not provincial; depending for It's
success on the citizens Of the New World
and not Of the Old, the selection Of any
other place than this became a practical
impossibUity. The popular verdict was
for Chicago. and the House would not
venture TO set it aside. Chicago is Gen.
trail 70 the largest number of visitors and
exhibitors. Being the greatest railroad
centre Of the country, IL can give
cheaper passenger and freight rates.

Assessing Real Estate.

We saw recently in the chief organ of the
eincle-tax movement the statement-made
NJ if there had been much reason TO doubt
its accuracy--that it was possible TO assess
taxes separately upon the house and upon
the land which il covers. II surprised us
70 learn that there could be any occasion
10 question the truth of the statement; be-
cause in this city the value of the house is
fixed without reference TO the value of the
land it occupies, and then the value Of the
land is fixed without reference to the value
of the house upon il. This is true as a
general remark. though there is sometimes
a reason why such remark would need
modification. IL is the proper method of
ascertaining the value of real estate.
The same organ of the sinGle-tax move
ment has been prodding the assessors in
New York city with q very sharp instru-
ment because they tax lots or land upon
which houses have been erected higher
than lots or land which are unoccupied;
or, in other words, taxes one man for i'm
proving his land and pays another pre-
MUM for letting his lie idle to await a
favorable offer from purchaser. Such a
discrimination against the poorer and
smaller taxpayers cannot be successfully
defended. JOIN STUART MILL held that
all the increased value which accrued
10 piece of unimproved land was
an "unearned increment" belonging by
right not to the land Spectator
but to the public. We confess that we have
not been able to see our way clear TO the
advocacy of the single tax, nor to cOmpre-
bend how tho community could be entitled
to the "unearned increment" unless the
community also compensated tho owners
OF any lands depreciating in value for such
depreciation. But We can understand
and all the taxpayers can understand
that il is not right TO tax an improved lot
higher than an unimproyed one of equal
value, nor TO tax small or cheap house
for its full cost, and large or fine
house at half its cost. The papers in other
cities than New York are calling attention
70 this wrong. We trust that there will be
no occasion for any complaint on that score
from anybody in Richmond.

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY %, 1890.
An Admission

There are blows 10 be given az well as
taken whenever northern paper or poll
tician begins to rail ct the South because
of any social disabilities under which the
negro labors in this section. AS the con-
tinual dropping Of water wears away
stone, 80 the ten-ihousand-times repeated
charge made by southerners that the
negro is better treated in the South
than in the North has at last effected
n Judgment in the minds OF at least
portion of the northern people. In
a recent article the Philadelphia Press
gave signs that it knew exactly what
sort of rod the southern people had IN
pickle for all sectonalists who base their
sectional charges against the South upon
her alleged mistreatment of the negroes.
That organ Of the negrophobists OF the City
of Brotherly Love goes so far as to temper
one OF its editorial attacks upon the South
by saying that the worst outrage at the
South is not the suppressed ballot OF the
black man. but the epslaved vote OF the
white man, which for tens of thousands or
voters is not free because Of this spectre OF
black domination, We take 1t that tho
Press did not mean to be offensive, but
merely intended to affirm in strong Ian
cua0e that the southern white voters could
not. or eonscien:iously thought they could
not, afford to divide upon politlco-eco-
nomical questions so long rs the spectre
of black domination threatened them
with evils so much more to be dreaded
than any which could result from injurious
legislation upon economic subjects. Herein
the Press did not exaggerate the facts. But
that paper goes on to administer a rebuke
to TIE people of the North, admitting by
the necessary implication of its own words
that in that section the negroes are not ei-
lowed TO work at trades with the whites.
The Presss own words are. The exclusion
from shops, factories, and foundries at the
North of the negro is not one half 50 Sc
nous to the community as the idle and I'M
trained negroes this exclusion creates"
How different in the South. Here ne
Croes are seen at work in shops. facto-
res, and foundries." If this treatment Of
the negroes in the North causes them to
grow up idle and unframed" surely the
Press must admit that the southern negro
is much better off than the northern, see
ing that the southern negro has no charge
to bring against the whites here except
that they will not allow him to govern
them.
And the poor, duped negroes all over the
South still look upon these northern men
who exclude them from all mechanical oc-
cupations as much better friends of theirs
than their southern employers, against
whom they can bring no more serious
charge than that these employers will not
permit ignorant non-tax-payers Of an in
ferior race to govern the superior race in
the finest regions Of the United States.
NJ better proof than these facts Is needed
to establish the truth of the proposition
that the negroes are not fit TO he intrusted
with the elective franchise.

"With all these advantages Chicago
might have failed but for ono thing which
riveted and clnched her friends together
and made the Valley OF the Mississippi
practically unit for her. That was the
deadly provincialism Of New York. The
inability Of that city to look over the Ale

rights when the comfort or convenience
Of New York was concerned aroused
the amused indignation CT the TWEEN

did. They resolved that tho fair must be

William Waldorf Aston the Wealthicst
Nan in the World.

Speaking of the admission to probate of
the Will Of the late John Jacob Aston the
New York Times says: This proceeding
makes William Waldorf Astor, the next OF
kin and heir of John Jacob AstOr, the
wealthiest man in America. il not in the
world. OF the great estate of John Jacob
Aston. which was estimated at $3.50, geo, 600,
all is inherited by the son except $4,000
to be set apart in requests. Tho S30,OOO
bequeathed in the viii to Alexander Ham
ilton reyerts to the estate. because the
legatee died December so, 1889.
The estates of John Jacob Aston and
William Waldorf Aston, consolidated by
Yesterdays proceeding in the SurrOgate's
Court, are believed to be equivalent TO
very nearly 5000, 600 900. William Waldorf
Astor is the only living person who can tell
the precise value OF the estate or what his
father was actually worth. Dir. South
mayd. who was an executor of the last viii
of John Jacob Astors father, said yoster-
day that he did not know how much John
Jacob Aston was worth.
Il don't believe" he said, there is a
person living except the son who can guess
the value Of the estate within a million
or two. don't think the estate of Viii
liam Waldorf Aston will be quite $780,
600 600, but IA matter of fact | don't
know az much about the facts "a | shall. "
The lawyer said that John Jacob Aston
did not transfer any of his property before
| HIS death except a small parcel desired by
| the son. At the time of the transfer a report
was printed that he had given away the
bulk of the estate SO "a to guard against a
will contest after his death. The date of
the will shows that it was executed Just

Gallant Efforts to Aid Wrecked Bark.

The steamship Ems. Of the North Ger
man LlOyds Line. arrived at New York
THURSDAY bearing evidence of having had a
tough time at sea.
Captain Sander, of the Ems. says that
of noon on February 22d. in latitude 1854
and longitude 1915, while IL was blowing a
hurricane, with terrific hall and snow
squalls, and an enormous sea was running,
n dismasted vessel was seen ahead. The
Ems approached her and hove 10. The
bark had lost all Of her sparS, with the eX-
ception of the stump of the mizzenmast, to
which jury sail had been rugged
in order to steady her. She had an
anchor drag out and was flying sig
nails of distress, and Captain Sander de-
cided 70 send lifeboat to her. lie called
the crew aft and asked the men If there
we're any who were willing to go to the
aid Of the distressed bark. Chlef-Oftcer
Smid and Seamen Smidt, Falkenburg
Herold, and Martin Wieckhof were the
only ones to step forward and declare their
willingness to risk their lives by going to
the succor of the stranger. Captain San
der refused to allow Chief-Oflieer Smid to
go. Third Officer Charles Polack now Of
fered to go in charge of the crew.
A lifeboat manned by the volunteers
put of 20 the rescue. but il had gone but a
short distance when an enormous sea lifted
the boat up into the ar and capslZed IT.
The officer and three of the men. were
struggling in the water, but the fourth
man sank out of sight. This was Week
hoff. who had probably been hit by an oar
and stunned. Another wave struck the
boat and turned it right side up in a
wrecked condition and without oars.
Officer Polack and the three men who had
kept ahoat climbed into the boat and chung
there, up 10 their waists in water, untll the
Ems came up and they were hauled on
board of the steamship. They wero rescued
fifteen minutes after the boat had capsized.
Captain Sander signalled TO the distressed
vessel, asking ii herr wished to abandon
their vessel. They replied by asking the
Ems to lay by them until morning: Cap
tain Sander felt that he could not afford to
10 do this, as the hull OF the bark was APP
parently sound. although dlsmasted and
without hfeboat. At o'clock the Ems
proceeded. leaving the bark directly IN the
track Of steamers.
The name Hebe was made out upon the
stern Of the distressed vessel.
