Judge Hilton gobbled it all up and
he was no kin to Stewart. Sometimes
very remote kindred get the estate
because that is the law and that is
the reason I have been prospecting
for thirty years to get my Wlfe's
share of that 2OO,000,OO0 OF pounds
that Sir William Holt left in the
Bank of England. The prospect is
mortal dim but there is some comfort
in believing that it is there and IS
still drawing interest like my confed-
crate bonds.
But the question Of how much
shall q man be allowed to account
late and keep is looming up and will
have to be settled before long by
American people. For the safety of
the republic there will haVe to be a
limitation of some sort. John Stew
art Mill says it will have to be done.
Andrew Carnege says the state
ought to take one hall Of all that a
millionaire leaves behind him and all
this law would force him to divide
out before he died and induce him to
make his gifts to public charities
and colleges, while in life, like Rookie
Teller and Armour are doing now and
like Peter Cooper and Peabody and
others did do.
The Illinois Bar Association has
declared in favor of limitation upon
wealth and Mr.. Stead says the time
is near at hand when the children's
inheritance will be limited to a sun
that will give each an income O.
100000 and no more. It woule
take about S3,OOO,0 900 to do that a

would have divided his property lon'

to be done. 1t will not begin down
south for we have not suffered yet
but the tendency of capital is that
way everywhere and the same evil
will reach US before long. There
must be some limitation upon wealth.
The joint estate of the Astors is es-
timated a 250 5000, 900 and most Of
it in the real estate in the city OF
New York. Their chef income is

Judge Clark made a sad commentary
upon it the other day in Atlanta.
He was passing sentence upon a
young man, said what is the matter
with our young men? almost every
day I am called upon to pass SEN
tence upon some one of them, young
men who have been raised by respec-

of earning az honest living. What

It grieves me and alarms me and I

"Well, it does look like public
morals are d~egenerating. I saw in
a paper yesterday that a woman, who
had a case in court against a railroad
testified that ten lawyers came
to see her to get her case before
the doctor got there. The lawyers
beat the doctor to the tank. And

Here are some of the best:

A world Of life shut out, q world

An arbor which shades when the
sunshine Of prosperity becomes too
dazzling; a harbor where the human

heaven is the fruit.
A hive in which, like the industrl-
u bee, youth gamers the sweets
and memories Of life for age to med

The best place for nan after busl-

Home is the c%osiest, kindllest,
sweetest place in all the world, the
scene of our purest earthly joys and
deepest sorrows.
The only spot on the earth where
the faults and failings Of fallen hui
manity are hidden under the mantle

Pleasant Trip.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:

A few weeks ago, I had quite q
pleasant trip from Philadelphia
across the State Of New Jersey, to
one Of her towns right on the Allan
tic, Asbury Park. This is a famous
summer resort, as my be inferred
from the fact that during the winter,
the town has only about 5000 inhabi-
tants, but in summer, from $4,000 to
10000. Ipassed through Trenton,
the capital OF the State, and also
went within a mile of Princeton COL
lege. Asbury Park itself, is only
about two miles from the place where
Garfield was shot. At this season,
the place is exceedingly quiet, ard
those who are there, seem to be there
to keep the place alive for next sum-
mel. Very many business houses
operand close with the summer sea-
son. They have comparatively few
business houses for so large a place,
most of them are boarding houses,
and very MANY Gro owne1 for s,,n~a.
