patch from Paris asserting that a
treaty of commerce has been concluded
between Germany and the United
states by which the latter country ex-
empts German beet sugar from duty
and Germany gives the United States
the favored nation benefit in regard to

into that country is substantially true,
and that France (which also produces
considerable quantity of beet sugar.

1t is technically incorrect to say that
a treaty has been concluded. That
would require concurrence by the sem

an agreement under the RECIPROCITY

SENATOR BRIcE SWORN IN,
But Not Before Notice Touching His
Eligibility Had Been Filed-

hut Not Before Notice Touching His
Eligibility Had Been PILED
WASHINGTON, Dec. s--During the
presentation of credentials in the SEN
ate Mr.. Sherman, referring to the eligi-
bility of Mr. Brice as a senator from
Ohio, said that before the oath of Of
fee was administered to Mr.. Brice he
desired to say that the belief was enter
tanned by large part of the citizens Of
Ohio that he was not a citizen of
that state at the time of his
election and therefore was not eligible.
He (Mr. Sherman) was satisfied that
Mr.. Brice was entitled to be sworn in
on his prima facie credentials They
were regular in form. and, therefore.
should raise no objection to this being
done. But he gave this notice so that
MIR. Brice's being sworn in should not
be regarded as a waiver Of the point
raised by the people of Ohio that he was
not a citizen of that state at the time OF
his election.
Mr.. r.Hoar suggested that the contention
was that Mr. Brice was not an ''inhab-
liant" of Ohio, and Mr.. Sherman ac-
cepted the correction, substituting the
word ..inhabitant' for citizen" Mr..
Brice was then escorted TO the desk
and sworn in

SPEAKING of the decision annulling
the charitable provisions of the Ogden
will and the Tilden will, the New York
Herald says: at would seem that if a
man wishes to trust his chosen friends
with the spending of his money after
his death he should have legal right
to do So But by the law of New York
that privilege is denied. The theory
of the law is that the trustees may
abuse the trust confided to them.
That, however, is the business of the
testator, not the courts If he is will
ing to confide in his trustees no one
else has any right to complain" Still,
such is the law.

AFTER two years spent in taking the

States against the Bell Telephone Co.
to annul the Bell patent is believed to

be taken for the present. No evidence
tending to prove fraud has been pro-
duced, and the government announces
that its cause is practically closed. 1t
is evident that all the government
hopes to do is to bring before the su-
preme court the Drawbaugh case once
more with the expectation that the
court, which was almost evenly divided
in this case before, may give different
decision this time.
