rRuMnuLL AND THE rrAra.

There is no reason why Minister Trum-
bull should not interview Secretary Tracy
on the subject of the Itata seizure, and
there is no reason why any plea which he
may have made for favoring the Chilean
insurgent cause should be granted. The
disposition OF the Itata is a matter for the
courts TO decide and Minister Trumhull
was doubtless quite aware of the fact when
he desired the interview as foriorn hope.
The guarding of the slippery Itata by gum
boats indicates that the American govern
ment will leave nothing undcne to pre-
serve the dignity and authority of the
United States while the courts have the
matter under advisement, and here the
matter ends for the present The question
as to whether President Raimaceda is a
tyrant or no can be taken no notice Of
officially. for the reason that rs matters
stand he is at the head of the government

doubt largely with the Congressional party

is, the road question il the most importans

From Paris comes the announcement
that De Lesseps is again accused OF
swindling investors in the Panama canal
project, and that this time he and other
officers of the company are to be prose
cuted. Any action of this kind could
hardly result in the conviction of the vet
eran engineer. The fault of the old man
is that he is of too sanguine tempera-
ment; and in the matter of the Suez canal
he accomplished enough to make man
less given to enthusiasts than he think
that nothing was impossible to him. The
result is that his faith in his ability to ac-
complish almost anything is boundless,
ard it is catching, too, for he has never
failed TO interest France very largely In
financial way in all of his schemes. De
Lesseps' faith, however, is not the kind
that moves mountains; and there are sew
eral to be gotten out of the course of the
Panama canal, to say nothing of the
manipulation of the Chagres river. The
result is that the poor old man will go on
nursing his enthusiasts and getting into
difficulties till he dies, q man whose good
faith has hardly ever been called in ques-
ton, though his judgment has hardly
ever been considered above par.

THE PROPOSED NINTH WARD.

The opinion of Judge Jacobs read before
the Board of Aldermen last night upon the
law with regard to eiecting representatives
to the City Council from the annexed dis
trict will probably be adopted. The gen.
eral election takes place in March, and by
that time the new citizens will be tax,
payers and more fully entitled to repre-
sentation. The cost of a special election
would fall not upon the residents of the new
locality, but upon the taxpayers who have
been called upon several times to bear the
burden Of special election. including that
which made the annexation.

SAMUEL J. r1LpEN.s WILL.

The extent to which intricacies and con-
fusing technicalities have been and are be-
ing multiplied in connection with legal
rules and procedure was never better illus
trated than in the pending and protracted
contest over the will of the late Samuel ].
Tilden, which is now engaging the atten-
ton of the New York Court of Appeals.
It is case which already four able judges
have passed upon. Two of these have sus-
tanned its validity. The other two have
pronounced its provisions for creating a
trust to establish free public library to be
illegal and void. On either side the case is
handled by lawyer of tirst-class ability
and national reputation-Joseph H.
Choate against the will and James c. Car
ter supporting it. The one attacks
it on the score of indefniteness both
in respect to object and subject
matter, and on the ground that the
testator did not dispose of his own prop
erty (Which, it is admitted, he had right
to do), but named three men to dispose of
it for him, right which they cannot
legally exercise.
Carter, on the other hand, lauds the will
as rejecting Tilden's intellectual character
istics, carefully and continuously worded
so as to avoid legal objections" and as
marvel of president provision against
indefniteness. Looking at these variant
views of two of the most eminent
of contemporary lawyers. and at the
Numerically different views of two able
judges on each side of this same matter,
and considering that the will was the
supreme effort of one of the ablest, shrewd-
est and most methodical of American
lawyers TO dispose Of an immense fortune
acquired by his ability. shrewdness. skill
and method as a lawyer. those not thus
gifted may well despair of conducting any
apparently simple proceeding with any
sort OF assurance of avoiding legal loop
holes, knotholes, pitfalls and ambuscades.
Nor, it would seem, IN view of Tilden s
failure and the divergent opinions of these
able judges and lawyers, equally balanced
in numbers and in standing, can there be
any assurance that certain and unassail-
able compliance with law can be attained
by the employment of one or q number of
ordinary or even superior lawyers to draw
an instrument that will certainly stand
the cross-hre of conflicting quips, techni-
ealities and decisions with which the
books are encountered. The only safe al
tentative is to adopt Carnegies idea, OF
making gifts and benefactions while vet
alive

AT LoNGFELLow's GRAVE.

Because that he loved the children,
If for nothing else, we would say,
This is grand old poet
Who is sleeping here today.
Awake, he loved their voices,
And wove them into his rhyme,
And the music of their laughter
Was with him all the time.
Kindly and warm and tender
He nestled each childish palm
So close in his own that his touch was prayer
And his voice blessed psalm.
Though he knew the tongues of nations,
And their meanings all were dear,
The prattle and lisp of little child
Was the sweetest for him TO hear.
He has turned from the marvellous pages
OF many an alien tome,
HAPPY come down from 0livet,
Or out through the gates OF Rome.
Set sail DER the seas between him
And each little reckoning hand
That fiuttered about in the meadows
And groves of his native land
Fluttered and flashed on his vision,
AS, in the glimmering light
OF the orchard lands of his childhood,
The blossoms OF pink and white.
And there have been smiles of rapture
Lighting his face as he came.
Haiiing the children hailing him,
And calling them each by name.
And there have been sobs in his bosom
As out on the shores he stepped
And many little welcomeK
Has wondered why he wept
That was because, o children
In fancy the words came slow
And solemn and sweet through the roses
You have heaped Ger the heart below
That was because, o children,
Ye might not always be
The same that the Sayiour's arms were wound
About in CIalilee
So because that he loved the children,
II for nothing else. we would say,
This is grand old poet
Who is sleeping here today.

Once more an attempt is to be made to
revise the names of streets in Seattle and
abolish all duplicates. The PosT-IsTELLI-
GEscER has frequently urged the necessity
of some such action, although the incon-
venience arising from repetition in many
cases is sufficient argument. 1t may be
well, however, to remind the committee
charged with the duty of revision that
not only should change be made where
there is more than one street of the same
name, but one appellation should be con-
tinued over streets now divided. Joy and
Black, Division and South Sixteenth are
notable examples of this class. 1t will be
found, also, that names in several cases,
although slightly different in spelling. are
so similar IN sound as to provoke confu-
sion, and these should be altered.

George Yank & Sons are doing still better and

the lower vine, which they might do If the

they were literally alive with the same kind of
insects that so injured the hops last year. The

1t seemed like pity, as the bushes were loaded
with fine fruit, but 1t was thought best to sac

increase and eventually destroy the hop crop.
