LEFT TO ITS FATE.

The senate bill appropriating $4,000
for public building at st. Paul has
passed the house, minus the appropri-'
ating clause, which was stricken out.
Mr.. SNYDER has fulfilled his ante-elec-
ton pledges, and Tom REED has, of
course, been indicated. In his speech
last fall at the Grand opera house, st.
Paul, Mr.. REED took occasion to mix
himself up in the matter, though for
what ostensible purpose yet remains an
equal Of the most mysterious Baby
lonian mystery.
But the bill is at least through the
two houses, and in fair condition for
a successful issue in the Fifty-second
congress. The appropriation mentioned
in the senate bill may be increased.
1t may be reduced. But the latter
course cannot be taken with any justice
to the merits of st. Paul. 1t should be
doubled. Inland cities of from $4,000 to
$4,000 inhabitants have government
buildings costing upwards of S1,000,0 900.
st. Paul, port of entry, is asked to ac-
cept building the estimated cost of
which is but 100000. 1t is we'll known
that all government work is the most
expensive in the way of building OF any
of the results OF contracts. the eX
penditure of 100000 by government
about equals $500, 600 in the hands of a
private business man or local corpora
ton. But the bill has passed; and let
us trust to the sense OF justice, which is
not yet dormant in the breasts of good
Democrats, such as will compose the
majority of the Fifty-second congress.

FRENCH FINANCES,

Those who would greatly increase the
circulating medium of the country find
useful service in the condition of
France. The per capita is very large
as compared to other European nations,
being some four times as great as in
England. ItiS quite possible to give
this fact exaggerated Importance. The
property of the country has vastly
larger number of holders than its
neighbOr across the English channel.
The wealth does not show the gregari-
Gus disposition it has in England, and
very largely in this country, of late
years. There are few enormously rich,
and smaller diffusion of poverty than
in most other nations. In fact, figures
are adduced to show that pauperism
in England costs six times as much as
in France, with about the same popula-
ton. The masses OF the French people
have money in stockings, not in banks.
When the government wants to borrow
a few hundred millions, or a big lotte ry
scheme is up, they come out with their
hands full to offer. No other important
people have so much circulating me-
dium or have it so generally diffused.
The fact that that the landnolders are
numerous is also of Importance; but
had France had no more currency than
England, it is doubtful if it would have
been able to tide the great financial in
situations of the latter over the late
dangerous passages. The financial pol
icy of France may not be altogether
adapted to this country, but its study
will, perhaps, afford useful suggestion.

ence aDd with such spectacular environ
ments. The circumstances of his death
gave unusual interest to the obsequies
yesterday. The impression seems to
obtain that some ill fortune attaches to
that position in the cabinet more than
others. Secretary MANNING did not
die while he held the position, but soon
after. In proportion to the numbers,
deaths have been more frequent among
the presidents than the cabinet MEM
bers. HARRISON, TAYLOR, LINCOLN
and GARFIELD all died early in their
terms, the second term in the case
of LINCOLN. There have been compar-
atively few cabinet members who have
died in office. In 1913 Secretary Of State
UPSHUR was killed by the explosion OF
a gun on government vessel. DANIEL
WEBSTER was secretary Of state in
FILLMoRE's cabinet when he went down
to mis- Marshfield home in October, 1852,
todie of broken heart because he was
not nominated for president. Two post
masters general died-BRoWN, Of Tell
nessee, in 1859, and HOWE, of Wiscon-
sin, in 1885, Gen. RAWLINGS, GRANTS
secretary of war, died in 1869, and Judge
FoLGER, who succeeded WINDOW in the
GARFIELD cabinet, died in 1884. The
chances of survival, it will be seen,
largely favor the cabinet rather than
the eabinetmakor.

Fayerweather Will Contest.

New YORK, Feb. 2.-The contest over
the Will of Daniel B. Fayerweather, the
leather merchant, who left over $1,000,
600 to colleges and S1,500.000 to three ex
ecutors, was begun before Surrogate
Ransom to-day. A notable array of
counsel appeared, each college being
represented in addition to counsel for
contestants and Tor the executors. The
case was begun by the reading of testi-
mony taken when the will was offered
for probate.
The contestants were Mary Achter
and Emma S. Drury, daughters of Will
lam Fayerweather, brother of the de-
ceased. They live at Muscatine, To-,
and were to get $4,000 under the will.
Another contestant is Lucy j. Boards
ley, wife of Morris B. Beardsley, of
Bridgeport, Conn.,, who was to get $780,
600. The principal contestant is
the widow, Lucy, Fayerweather,
who was to get $4,000 year and
decedent's residents. Several witnesses
testified to the execution of the will. A
piece of paper found folded with the
will was produced. which was written
by Executor Richie, but not at the re-
quest of the decedent. 1t referred to the
law restricting the gifts to charitable
purposes, and desiring that none of the
relatives should contest the will. Gen.
WOodford testified that he had heard
that Evarts, Choate and Beenan had
drawn another will for Mr.. Fayer-
weather. which was executed on the day
of his death. This will has not been
produced. The case was then adjourned
until Wednesday morning.

WAsHBuRN,s CREDIT.

The Boston Herald understands that
Senator WASHBURN is entitled to the
credit of arranging the recent happy
surprise in the senate that shelved the
force bill. That is a distinction, the
Herald says, that will greatly add to the
laurelS of the WAsHBURN name. 1t will
be we'll for the personal friends of the
senator to elicit the exact facts; for it
will be perhaps. if rightly his, the only
event of his public career that will go
far down among posterity. The ola sh-
ing Colorado Republican, Senator VOL
coTT, has been assigned this honor OH
the Republican side, furnishing the sig
nal for the mastery tactics of Senator
GoRMAN to bear Sheir fruitage. AS a
matter of state pride, laying aside all
partisan feeling, it is hoped that the
great honor can be given WAsHBURN.
At all events, he has the credit of giving
the deciding vote that shuff1ed out this
partisan monstrosity.

New York in Mourning.

NEW YORK, Feb. I'm accordance
with orders from Washington, all of
the United States treasury offices in
this city were closed to-day as a tribute
of respect to the memory of the late
Secretary Window. The custom house
was kept open only between 9 and 10
O'Clock this morning, for the clearance
of vessels. The Sub-treasury and the
assay office were both barred. The
front of both buildings were hung with
mourning drapery. AT noon business
was suspended in the barge Office. Flags
were lowered to half mast on all the
public buildings and on many private
business houses and over many private
dwellings similar token of mourning
was to be seen.
