free coinage of silver. IL may be said also
that as a rule the more national the issues
the more likely the Republicans are to WIN
There is not Northern State that on
square issue Of protection against free trade
would not vote Tor protection. Pennsylya-
mia is so thoroughly Republican that no
apprehension is felt as to the result this
year. Pattison succeeded last year by the
operation of causes not in existence this
year. or course if the Republicans should
carry New York and Iowa as well as the
other three States, which they expect to
carry, they would look upon the battle OF
1892 as half won. While the chances proba-
bly, favor the election of the Democratic can
didete for Governor in New York, such
result is by no means foregone conclusion.
The Boston Herald, whose sympathies are
not permitted to warp its judgment. says
that owing to Democratic defections the
election of the Republican candidates in
whole or in part seems not at all improba-
bic. In Iowa State issues are so absorbing
that the result this year can hardly be con-
sidered as indicating the vote OF the State
in a Presidential year. People are talk ng
about railroad taxation and financial
schemes which are not Endorsed by either
party platform. Correspondents on the
ground can only guess at the result.

INGALLS, QUERY.

Is II Possible for Man to Honestly Earn
a Million of Dollars -?
Can aman honestly earn million dollars?
is question recently asked by Senator In
gals in lecture at Glen Echo before the
CIautauqua Society In reply to this ques-
ton Mr.. ingalls, said:
George Washington, In addition to his
many other virtues, was prudent and
thrifty and forehanded man. He knew a
good thing when he saw it and he knew it
a good ways Off. When youth on survey
ing expeditions he made valuable locations
that did not diminish in value after
ward The location of the capital" and
here Mr.. ingalls, smiled in sort of a quizzi-
cal way, within fifteen miles Of his farm,
did not impair the value of that estate He
was an honest debtor, but an exact, il not
exacting, creditor repeat that at the time
Of his death he was the richest man i'll the
country. How much was he worth? Be
tween $4,000 and 100000. To-day there
are scores of men in this country whose
annual income exceeds the entire value of
all the property held by the richest man in
the country one hundred years ago.
There is one man, the private holder of
Government bonds, who has larger income
from the coupons of those bonds than the
entire estate of George Washington was
worth. | don't think that is right The
problem that we are TO consider Is, how are
We to prevent it. Fifty of the great articles
of life are now controlled by syndcates,
trusts and corporations. so that poor man
has little chance to go into business. One
of the questions that are to be decided at
the next Presidential election is whether
under Government of the people and for
the people and by the people, where all
men are equal before the law, any man has
a right to obtain absolute control of $780,
100000 when the per capita distribution
would be less than $1,000. Ihave heard men
with temerity enough to question whether a
citizen has a right to 100000. 900, or even
81. 100000 In the strictest confidence be-
tween myself and you, seriously question
whether, in the sense of giving compensa-
ton or equivalent, any man ever honestly
earned even 81 900, O00"-Ex.

THE sEARLEs WILL CASE.

There was a general feeling Of disap-
pontment in this community over the an
nouncement that the Searles will was adj
mitted to probate. Among lawyers, how
ever, no other result Of the hearing before
Judge Harmon was expected. 1t could
hardly be assumed that the will would be
defeated on the testimony Of witnesses In
favor of it, and no other witnesses were
called. The real facts of the case could not
well be reached through witness whose
interests were at stake. In the court to which
appeal is taken the other side will have
something to say. Before Judge Harmon
the facts were established that the will was
made; that it purported to be the will of
Mrs. Hopkns-Searles, and chat no physical
restraint had been resorted to to induce her
to sign it. Before the appellate Court the
contestants will show. if they can, that the
will was -,jn reality dictated by SeaE11g and
the law firm of which he was a EArtner
7 he fact that the estate during Mrs Hop
kins-Searles' lifetime had been made over
largely TO Mr. Searles will possibly not APP
pear, after closer examination, to have been
so easy and natural process OF transfer as
the testimony would lead one TO suppose.
