for specified portion of the sum the
heir they represent IS to receive in
the event of their being successful.
Give men OF the worth OF such citizens
as lllcen and Crerar, Is it possible to
conceive of an undertaking of greater
questionable morality than the attempt
to set aside an expressed wish mainly
because the man is unable to appear in
court and defend HIMSELF The ques.
ton is one whose seriousness is hardly
to be overestimated. The spirit Of the
law is that the intent of the person or
persons invoking the protection of its
forms sh II be upheld and prevail
against all considerations irrelevant to
the general purpose. In view of this
TACT the extent to which courts and
jurleS ignore the general intent of wills,
as revealed in Their every clause, and
annual. on immaterial technica tiles,
the wise plans OF men of the highest
qualities and greatest achievements, is
fast undermining the law of inherit
ance.
The right to inherit property from
relative is special privilege granted
by law, and necessarily so, since wealth
by whomsoever held and in whatever
form must remain in the community.
1t is, therefore, In measure, common
property, and the right Of the para
mount political authority to direct its
disposal cannot be questioned. Already
there is large body of people who
advocate that property should revert to
the State on the death OF the owner,
and everyjust and honest will broken is
an eloquent argument for the adoption
of the plan.
The general contempt into which
the laws are brought through the case
with which their intenls and purposes
are evaded is a question in which every
person is interested. The profession
of the law, through this and similar
influences, is tending rapidly toward
more or less speculative calling not to
say blackmail one part makes laws for
the others to pick in pieces. The
country is IN need of more men who
understand the ant of law making, with
out being directly interested in having
the statutes susceptible to varying con
structions. The written purposes of
dead man might then have the same
standing IN court that is granted the
man in CHICAGO Graphic.

THERE is now some doubt whether
the negro Miller who was strung up
at Bardwell, KY, on Friday by a
mob, which could hardly be deferred
from burning him at the stake, was
guilty of the murders which were
charged against him. He died pro-
testing his innocence, and there is no
satisfactory evidence whatever that
proves his guilt In fact, it is now
said that two out of three of the men
who administered lynch law are
doubtful whether they caught the
real culprit. 1t is bad enough if
mobs take the law into their own
hands when there is no doubt as to
the guilt of their victim; but it is in
tolerable that they should hang men
on mere suspicion and take the
chances that they are in the right.

GENERAL LEW WALLACE is in
New York attending to the public
alton of his new novel, The Prince
of India The noted soldier,
diplomat and author of "Ben Hur"
talked freely to reporters regarding
the business situation and politics.
In his opinion President Cleveland
should have called Congress together
much earlier. He does not think
that Congress any way would find
remedy any too soon for the exciting
monetary troubles. "There will be
long fight over the rules, he said,
land it may be months before the
financial situation is reached. When
the rules have been settled then the
great debate will begin and many
months will pass and nothing will
be done. Business will grow worse
and the lack of confidence will con-
tinue. But there is no reason why
the people should suffer because
there is plenty of money in the
country"

LEGAL STATUS OF WILLS.
The Right to Inherit Property
from a Relative Special
Privilege.

The public is to be congratulated on
the decision of the Illinois Supreme
Court sustaining the will of the late
John Crerar, Of Chicago Mr.. Crerar's
will is similar to that of Samuel J. Til
den, of New York, in that, after max
Ing generous provisions for nearest
relatives, certain large requests were
made to charitable and religious insti
tutions and a large sum for the
establishment of public library in
Chicago.
Speculative attorneys, however, were
not slow to hunt up distant relatives,
many of whom were aliens and Of
whose existence even it is not known
the testator was aware, and to induce
them to contest the will on purely
technical grounds. The courts deci-
sion is distinct triumph for the true
purposes OF the law-with equal justice
to maintain the rights of the lndivideal
and the community.
The breaking of wills has come to be
a national reproach. A class of law
yers who are disgrace to the legal
profession are now recognized as pro-
fessional will-breakers on speculation.
That is, they guarantee to break will

THE SENATORIAL SIDE OF

According to the published esti-
m ,tc of the New York H0Ild made
ON Monday last, the largest vote
that can be rea sonably expected in
the u. 5. Senate on the repeal OF
tn Sherman Silver Act is forty eight
for, and thirty-nine against repeal.
But as a cotemporary pertlnently
remarks it is by no means certain
that this majority will be obtained by
the repealers. The Uo,Id'S estimate
of forty. eight voters for repeal in
cludes those of Senators who will not
favor the unconditional annulment
of that act and who will not support
a repeal bill unless they can make
bargain in the interest of silver. Six
ofthese Senators, Mitchell, OF Oregon;
Turpie and VOORHEES,, of Indiana;
Teller, of Colorado; Harris, of Ter
nessee; Daniel, of Virginia; AM Vest
OF Missouri, are among the strongest
advocates of the free coinage of
silver, and their reason for repeating
the Sherman law will be that they
may thus have an opportunity to
substitute a measure of their own.
Those friends of an honest money
standard who believe that the repeal
of the Sherman act is now clear sail
ing have not gagged the extent and
character of the opposition which
they will meet in Congress, and
especially in the upper branch. The
stronghold of the silver party has
been in the Senate for several years
past. That body has passed two
free coinage bills by decided MAORI
ties. With four or five exceptions,
the whole Democratic side OF the
chamber has been tainted with the
doctrine that cheap silver and plenty
OF it is our financial panacea. AT
least dozen Republicans haye been
victims of the same delusion. There
are no signs that the strength OF the
silverities In the Senate has been so
much reduced in the meantime as to
warrant the hope that there will be
no difficulty in defeating them.
With thirty-nine members deter
mined to oppose repeal, and with not
less than half dozen more who will
vote for repeal only on conditions
more or less offensive to sound
money men, it is apparent that the
struggle in the Senate will be bitter
and prolonged, if not uncertain.
The silverites in the Senate are
led by men OF considerable ability
who are not likely to surrender until
they have exhausted every resource
of opposition. They will probably take
advantage of the rules OF the Senate
which permit unlimited debate, and
which, indeed, can be used to block
indefinitely the passage OF repeal
bill. The leaders of the House have
agreed to amend the rules OF that
BODY so as to facilitate the calling of
the previous question, and the same
course will in all likelihood be neces-
sary in the Senate if long and weary
debate together with organized fill
clustering is to be avoided.
The power OF the silver combina-
ton in the Senate and the capacity
for mischief which it will have under
the antiquated rules of that body
should be taken into consideration in
torecastlng the reason Of the extra
session. 1t will be in the Senate
rather than in the House that the
advocates Of sound money will be
called upon to face the worst
obstacles in securing relief for the
country.

ELKTON. JULY Is. 1893.
THE SUNDAY OPENING .
FAILURE

The Sunday opening experiment at
the Worlds Fair has thus far been
failure. The attendance on that day
has been disappointing to the managers
and their financial hopes in that
direction have not been realized.
There has indeed, been some talk of
closing the gates on Sunday because
there was not sufficient compensation
for the labor involved in keeping them
open.
The "workingman" whose eager
ness to visit the fair on the first
day of the week was depicted so
touchingly by the advocates of
opening, and who was held up as
martyr to "Sabbatarlan tyranny" has
concerned himself very little about the
matter. He has been conspicuous
chiefly by his absence A large pro-
portion of the persons who do visit the
fair on Sunday are men and women of
leisure and means and the great
S majority OF all OF them are more bent
on having a good time in the famous
Midway Plaisance than in studying
industry and art, The thoughtful
American workingman seems to find
time during the week to crafty his
tastes in that direction, as he can do
with comparative ease now that the
exhibition remains open until late
hour of night.
Last Sunday was the fifth of the Sum-
days since the fair was opened on that
day. The attendance was even lighter
than 1t was on the previous Sunday. 1t
was very much lighter than it has been
on the secular days. In fact Sunday
Is now the least profitable of all the
days of the week.
In view of these facts, it is laughable
to look back upon the clamor. alto
gether out of proportion in its noisiness
to the real extent of the demand, for
Sunday opening. 1t is certain that, if
the Worlds Fair managers had known
that the attendance would be no greater
than it has thus far been they would
not have lost any time in putting a
decided negative on the proposition.
They had expected 100000 visitors
every Sunday; bu. the average has
not exceeded 10000, and Is declining.
Major Pangborn, who has charge of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
exhibit and who is president of the
American Exhibitors Association, says
"The sentiment Is rapidly changing
among exhibitors since the trial has
been made and found to be practically
failure. II there had been great
crowd showing a popular demand,
and had the laboring men turned out
by the thousands, as anticipated there
would have been much less complaint
than now, but as it is there are converts
every day to the Close the Gates rank
from those who originally supported
the other SIDE"
The next question will be whether
it will not pay to keep the gates closed
on Sunday. The same reason which
led the managers to open them may
before long be strong enough to close
them. The experiment seems to be
approaching the point where 1t will
soon degenerate into fzzle.
