Our New York dispatches Of today show
that Senator Allen and others have made
demands on the republican national com
mittee for money to run the campaign in
this state and that they have represented
that Harrison would loose this state if
funds were not sent Immediately. Now
this is SANDER on the republicans of this
state. The state is not in danger Of being
lost to Harrison. There is no opposition
to him IN any precinct in the state of
Washington, so far as republicans are con
cerned, and it will give the republican pres
idential electors a handsome majority.
This report doDs Senator Allen no credit.
1t is plain enough that the funds were to
be used 20 help the Seattle ring which owns
Allen and not for the Harrison electors. 1t
is already well known, that this ring in or
der to make sure of McGraw's election will
trade the presidential electors for that pur-
pose. But the national committee seems
to have understood the game and they
must put up their own funds or do with
out. 1t was very cute, but cute things,
even by those who are always cute, some
times fail. By the way what has become
of that two hundred thousand dollars
which Seattle was to put up to carry the
Seattle ditch and re-elect Allen2 1t wuold
appear that this was enough to meet all
legitimate election expenses in one cam
paign. But then, if this isn't enough,
make another assessment gentlemen.

Post to the burning Of the steam boat Wa
Waset down the Potomac nearly twenty
years ago, recalls a journalistic feat in con
nectiOn with the report of the affair by the
old Washington Chronicle force, then
located on Ninth street. Colonel Corkhill
was the managing editor, Barton was the
news editor, and Arthur Shepherd CITY
editor. The night of the day of the dis
aster a man on. horseback had made his
way from the scene of the burning on the
lower Potomac to Fredericksburg, Va. He
gave no details, and only the bare fact of
the burning of the vessel reached this city
by wire. Barton conceived the idea of
going to Alexandria to wait for the first
steamboat coming up the river, which
would surely have some news. There
were no night trains out of the city in
those days, so Barton and Shepherd
picked up an old, rickety night liner at
2 O'Clock in the morning in front of George
Drivers Oyster Bay, and rode to Alexan-
Ora on the crazy turnpike, arriving there
just before 6 o'clock. where the old steamer
Express was sighted coming up the river
She stopped at the Alexandria wharf. The
two tired newspaper men found on board
the captain of the ill-fated WaWaset and a
dozen of the survivors. Among the latter
were Dummer and McGuiggan, two typos
of the Morning Chronicle Barton and
Shepherd rode up to Washington on the
Express, and while enroute secured full
account of the disaster When the wharf
was reached at Seventh street all the rival
newspaper men of the city, many of the
Row correspondents, and hundreds of peo-
pie were IN waiting. Jumping into hack,
the Chronicle men soon reached their office,
and the result was that an extra was on the
street in less than half an hour, and ahead
of all competitors. Dummer and McGuig-
gan, two of the saved. helped set up in type
the account of the affair.

THREE DECADES.

In looking over the political situation
from 1860 to 1892 some curious phases are
presented in the various states. Novem-
Der Sth will be the ninth presidential
election since the election of Lincoln
in 1860. In these thirty-two years there
are but two states in the American Union
with an unbroken democratic record. They
are Georgia and Texas, while the states of
Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts,, Mich
igan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and
Wisconsin have never voted in thirty-two
years for any candidate for president but a
republican. California, Nevada and Ore
gon have only gone democratic once since
1860. Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska have
always voted republican ever since admis-
sion. New York, in three decades, has
gone republican five times and democratic
three times. New Jersey has voted demo-
cratic always, except for Greeley in 1872. 1t
is the only hide bound democratic
state in the North, and the most
corrupt. The prisons of that state
are full of democratic ballot box stuff
ers and some of the ignorant denizens of
the pines are still voting for Andrew Jack.
son. Every state in the Union has at one
time or other voted for republican candi-
date for president in the last thirty-two
years, except Georgia and Kentucky, and
the new states admitted since the last presi-
dental election, What will the harvest be
this year? 1t can not be denied that there
is feeling of unrest throughout the coun-
try with both the old parties, but it is not
believed that there is dissatisfaction enough
in the North with the republican party to
overcome its splendid record of former
years. The battle seems to center in New
York, and if the republicans can succeed in
defeating party that makes new citizens
of doubtful character at the rate of zone a
minute" Harrison will be his own sue

that Williams had already trained down to

Another instance Of disinheritance was

he millions OF the father were left en-
tirely 10 two crippled sons, nor has the
stronger brother ever by word or act en-
deavorcG TO thwart the fathers last

But there is shade of injustice in these
laws of inheritance which l found have not
been materially changed for half cen
tury- There was an old Roman law which
4 permitted B court to throw out will en-
tirVly If it WAS apparently unjust to heirs.
On this he French law of inheritance is
based. But the English and American are
very much alike, and If the testator dies
clear heaued any disposition Of his estate
he may decree Is construed 10 the letter.
Perhaps the most famous Of New ork's
probate lawyers is ex Surrogste Rollins.

wills and inheritances.
I'VE really have very sensible law in

wise 10 limit the testamentary power so as
10 make II impossible for testator to cut
off his wife and children. AS it is now the
wife is not well protected. Her one-third
life interest is Of no particular value. In
fact there is no inhibition against giving
away the entire estate TO strangers.
Grounds for contests They are very

construction Of last will We have no
1nofdcious' wills such as are provided for

That contains at least the principle of the
old Lex Romano, which provided for the
annulment Of wills that are unnatural and
patiently unjust The English law is like
ours; or rather ours is framed on it.
For fifty years there has been no change
In the essential features of the law of villa
or the law of iaherItances.
There are three statutes, you know,
that of wills, that of descent and that of
distribution. That OF descent relates ex-
clusively to realty ana that of distribution
TO personal property. They do not differ
materially"

mol There is no way of doing this.

HEMMED IN BY FIRE
PeriIous Position of a Two Year
Old Child.
Psnne,Iina Blazing Cellar, the Infant Was
Nearly Exhausted When Rescued
by johnny Larson.

The residence of Charles P. Sharp of
Union Salt Lake county, was burned on
Friday. MIR. and Mrs. Sharp and 2-year-
old child were in the cellar when the
flames broke out in the kitchen, and in
their haste to extlnguish the blaze, left the
infant behind. They fought the fire to the
best of their ability, but in spite of all their
efforts 1t gained great Roadway, and soon
the flames cut off all approach to the smoke
filled cellar, where the baby was q pris-
oper. The cries of the infant were piteous.
and it seemed as though the little one was
doomed, when Johnny Larson, a slim-built
lad, discovered an opening through which
he could crawl. Through this he went.
being held by the legs until he
reached the bottom. and he soon
had the baby through the open
ing and safe in its mothers arms.
1t was with the greatest difficulty that the
brave lad was able to crawl back through
the opening. and when he reached the air
he was completely exhausted.
Mr.. Sharp, in his efforts to discover the
whereabouts of other children who had
been left in the house, was rather badly
scorched about the face, but his injuries
are not serious.
The building was badly damaged and the
kitchen furniture destroyed. The loss will
reach about $500; no insurance.
