A Soul in Court.

A case that should interest the theo-
sophists, spiritualists and others who at
tempt to account for the movements and
fix the status of soul after it leaves it's
earthly habitaJion, is before the surro-
gates court at Buffalo, n. Y. One ques-
ton involved in the suit is a souls stand
ing in a court of law has it rights and
can it inherit property2
Mrs. Backus, who died year ago, left
a will, in which she bequeathed her en-
tire estate of s., 900 to a trustee to be ex-
pended in masses for the benefit of my
poor soul and that of my deceased hus-
band. Mrs. Backus left seven chill
dren, who have contested the will on the
grounds that the testator violated the
principles of trust and that the trustee
is granted too much power. In support
Of the contest the children, through coun-
Gil, argue that soul is at best an in
tangible legatee, not provided for under
the laws of the state; and, furthermore,
that there is no competent evidence be-
fore the court that either Mrs.
Backus or her husband had a
soul. But granting that they had
souls, they make the point that
a soul is immortal, and il may with pro-
priety be doubted whether the aforesaid
souls could be benefited by masses cele-
brated on earth. A trust, it is argued, is
created under a will for the benefit of a
person. If it cannot be held that soul is
person and can derive benefit from the
trust, then the principles of the trust
have been violated and the will must be
set aside.
That in short, is the case Of the chill
dren of Mrs. Backus, upon which the
New York surrogate is asked to pass. 1t
appears to be somewhat irreverent; but
to look at it in hard, matter-of-fact way,
it presents an interesting point of law.

ooxeyites in the Senate.

The charge was indirectly made day
or two ago by senator on the floor Of the
Senate that certain senators were making
the public distress IAN instrument for
their own political purposes or their own
reckless political ambition" Can it be
possible that this charge is true2 Are
there men In the Senate who are so base.
so devoid of patriotism and so indifferent
to the great responsibilities they have
solemnly assumed that to gain personal
ends they are willing to sacrifice the in
terests Of the people and the welfare of
the country9 If there are not, what is the
meaning of those speeches which have
been delivered in the Senate within the
last few days by Senators Allen, Teller.
Stewart and PETER excusing Coxey's raid
on the capital and declaring that he was
unjustly and even brutally treated by the
capitol policel All those senator's took oc-
casion TO declare they had no sympathy
with the Coxey movement and that thew
could see no possible good that could re-
suit from it, but, at the same time, their
utterances were of character to arouse
sympathy for Coxey and his followers and
to encourage them to persist in violating
the laws. The inconsistency in the
speeches of these senator's is so
noticeable that it justifes the in
ference that they would be glad
if the CoXey movement should reach
serious proportions in order that they
might make it the means of accom-
plishing certain objects they have in
view
They know that Coxey is a willful law
breaker He had been warned that what
he proposed to do was against the law
He persisted in carrying out his pro-
gramme and when he was called upon to
answer for his offeuse senator's were found
who not only excused him but defended
him. They did this with the full know
ledge that their action would be tele-
graphed to all parts of the country and
would tend to increase the crowds of
shiftless and unemployed people who were
moving toward the capital.
Can any other explanation of their con-
duct be given than that made by the sena
tor whose language we have quoted? If
there can, it has not yet been forthcoming
These senators are looked upon as being
willing to plunge the country into still
deeper trouble for reasons which they
have not the courage to state, but which
are believed to be wholly selfish. 1t is not
likely that the fact that they gave en-
enlargement to lawlessness at a time
when every good citizen was expected to
be unequivocally and firmly in favor of
unfolding the laws will be forgotten.
Having been condemned on the floor of
the Senate they will be condemned by the
country The people are patient, but
they are certain to render Judgment
eventually against those who disregard
their interests.

Quarrel of a Needle and Pin.

A pin and needle, says a clever writer in an
exchange, being neighbors in work basket
and both being idle folks began to quarrel, as
idle folks are apt to do.
1 should like 10 know said the pin, what
you are good for and howNyou expect to get
through the world without headf"
What Is the use of your head, replied the
needle, rather sharply, if you have no eyer"
What is the use Of an eye said the pin,
IF there is always something in itY''
Il am more active and can 30 through more
work than you can, replied the needle.
Yes, but you will not live long, because
you have always a stitch in the side" said
the pin.
You are poor, crooked creature" said
the needle.
And you are so proud that you can't bend
without breaking your back"
IN pull your head of If you insult me
again"
I'm pull your eve out II you touch me. Re-
member, your life hangs on single thread, ="
said the pin.
While they were thus conversing a little
girl entered, and undertaking to sew she very
soon broke of the needle at the eye. She
then tied the thread around the neck of the pin
and attempted to sew with 1t, but pulled its
head of and threw itinto the dirt by the side
of the froken needle
Wen, here we are said the needle.
Yes we have nothing to fight about now, "
said the pin. ut seems misfortune has
brought US to our senses"
"A pity we had not come to them sooner"
said the needle. How much we resemble
human beings who quarrel about their bless
ings till they lose them and never find out
they are brothers till they lie down in the
dust together, as we do"

What the Senate poineP

| The people are becoming impatient with
! the Senate. They cannot see that it is
! doing anything. Scarcely any progress
was made with the tariff bill last week.
! At the rate at which the four hundred
amendments are being disposed of, vote
/ on the bill will not be reached by Christ
mas. There has been a steady flow of
talk, but what has the talk amounted tor
Most of it has not been pertinent to the
tariff bill. Some of the senators have
| talked about silver, and others about
Coxey and his army. All the republicans
and some of the democrats seem deter
mined to delay the tariff bill as much as
possible.
A week ago it was announced that the
democrats were agreed upon the bill
with the exception of Senator Hill, and
that it would be pushed vigorously to a
vote. The announcement was apparently
unauthorized The bill is not being
pushed vigorously or in any other way.
| There is a lack of vigorous leadership.
The republicans are having everything
pretty much their. own way. BY the
courtesy of the Senate, Senator
Quay has been permitted to occupy
many days with speech to which nobody
has listened, and which nobody read and
other senators have been allowed to frit-
ter away valuable time with as much in
difference as if it were matter of no
consequence whether a vote on the tariff
bill was ever reached.
Every once in a while Senator Harris,
who has charge of the tariff bill, and SEN
ator Voorhees,, the chairman of the finance
committee, show signs of impotence with
those who are seeking to delay the meas
ure, but they do nothing to advance it.
Their little displays of temper excite
amusement, but do not bring bout action.
The people are getting very weary of
waiting and the signs of their displeasure
are cropping out. In this and other states
trade bodies have adopted resolutions
within the last few days calling upon the
Senate to cease dillydallying, and to act
If there is not action soon the protests
will be made in different tone.
To make the bill agreeable to a few
senators it has been mutilated beyond
recognition. 1t has lost its original charac-
ter and is now more like the Mckinley tar
if than like the tariff called for by the
national democratic platform, but even in
its present condition it will have the
votes of such tariff reformers as Senator
Mills, not because it suits them, but be-
cause they see the Importance of passing
tariff bill quickly
The republicans want to prevent the
revival of business before the fall cleo
tions, because they think if prosperity
does not return before fall they will be
able to carry the next House They are,
therefore, doing what they can to prevent
the bill from reaching a vote.
With the business interests of the
whole country and the welfare of the
party at stake, it would seem as if the
democratic senators would get together
and press the bill to vote For more
than two months they have done prac-
tically nothing. They must pass the bill
soon or confess their inability to do so.
