The following rescrlpt has been received
by Clerk Of Courts Choate, in the I'M
portant Kennebec case of William S.
Grant VS.. William W. Bradstreet, ct al.
Peters, j. The respondent W. 3.
promised his brother p B. that If the
brother would refrain from making a will
and thus leave the respondent, as heir
and next of kin, the sole inheritor of all
his brothers estate he, the respondent,
would pay certain annuity out of such
estate to a certain relative of the two par
ties. Held: That such promise, If acted
upon, may be enforced in equity the court
abiding by the case Of Gilpatrick " Gid.
den, 81 Maine 1877.
The promise, however, must be proved
by clear and convincing eviden ce, especial
ly where the proof Is oral and not in any
part written.
The ground upon which equity obtains
jurisdiction in such case is that 1t would
be fraud for party to avoid such con-
tract merely because 1t is not attended
| with the usual legal formalities, when the
promise may be as certainly and safely
proved in equity without such formalities
In no ordinary case would the court be
| satisfied to rely on the oral evidence Of
one witness as sufficient to establish such
an alleged promise, especially against the
positive denial Of the respondent, unless
the testimony Of the single witness be sup
ported by considerable amount of direct
or indirect Confederation.
1t was admissible for the complainant
to show, in support of such promise,
that the donor shortly before his death
and prior to the occasion when the
promise was made said to another person
that he should direct the respondent to
make donation to the complainant; and
such testimony has very strong. proba-
tive force, In aid of other evidence to
prove the complainant's contention.
The opinion contains discussion of
the evidence upon which the court sus.
tains the bill.
| Decree below affirmed with additional
costs.

THE INCOME TAX DECISION.

The decision of the Supreme Court
adversely to the income tax is a VIC
tory for the money power that may
prove even more far-reaching in effect
than the finance legislation of the past
thirty years, TO which it is its natural
complement. The money power has
been created through taxation-some of
it through causes created by the civil
war, but by far its greater aggregation
through specious pretexts of subven-
ton and tariff taxation in favor of cor
porations and industrial capitalists
that have resulted in the hypothecation
of the visible and actual wealth of the
nation, into forms of fixed securities.
If the American people had not been
drunken with the speculative mania
induced by borrowed money and mis-
named prosperity through the Harri-
son and previous administrations, they
would have recognized at least the
craftsmanship of Democratic efforts to
limit the profits of the money power
by lifting the burden of tariff tax off
the people, and by an income tax to
place a share of the burden upon the
millionaire beneficiaries of the subsidy
process. But maddened by the magni-
tude of the financial collapse, and de-
ceived because the inevitable crisis

Cleveland's inauguration, they have

WHO WAS REsPoNs1BLEs

AS a result Of the weakened policy
of our Democratic administration, the
Republican government of Hawaii is
reported to be ''tottering to its fall"
That is a sample Of Republican
reasoning. It appears in a Utah Re
publican paper. The logic of it is
equal to it's truth. That is, there is
nothing of either in the sentence. The
statement is that the report OF the
failure of the Hawaiian alleged re-
public is "a result of Democratic adj
ministration." Shades Of Locke and
Mills and Malebranche.
But is the failure Of the Hawaiian
government, it it is "tottering to it's
fall" due to any policy of the Demo-
cratic administration? Not at all. The
administration of the United States
did not set up the present Dole gov
eminent in Hawaii. 1t was the Har-
rison administration that was re-
sponsible for that. If the conspirators
against the Hawaiian monarchy had
American minister they would not
have been able to succeed.
The reason why the so-called ere
publican government" in Hawaii is
liable at any time to collapse, is be-
cause it is not a republican govern
ment. 1t was set up without the will
of the people. 1t may be a better gov
eminent than the monarchy it over
threw. We are not disputing whether
it is better and do not say it is worse.
We simply state that it is an oligarchy
forced upon the people of the Islands
without their consent. The election
which established it would be consid-
cred in this country a farce. More like
ly 1t would have quickly ended in
tragedy.
or that reports to that effect are in
circulation. 1t is barely possible that
some day republic may be establish
ed in Hawaii That no doubt would
be the right thing for the white peo-
pie who dwell there. But it is not
republican government that now holds
control on those islands No matter
what it is or is not, or what the re-
ports may be in relation to it, the
present administration is not respon-
sible for it, nor for the fizzle which it
is reported to have made of it's at
tempt at ruling the natives. The Re
publican administration of President
Harrison is responsible for the whole
measly business.

SILVER AND PARTY.

The Herald is in harmony with the
views of Messrs. Sibley and Warner on
the silver question proper, and in the
opinion that it rises in Importance above
the question of party. At the same
time we see no need at present of cut
| ting loose from party ties. That may
have to come later on. And then it
may not. at least so far as the Demo-
cratic party is concerned. We hold to
our former views on that point.
The necessity of insisting upon the
restoration Of silver to it's former
money status without waiting for the
action of any other country. must be
obvious to all true bimetallists. Now
or never is the cry. If the campaign
of 1896 should bring defeat to the silver
cause it would be fatal. There is no
telling how long it would be before it
could be resurrected. This is vital
issue and must be met without falter-
ing or paltering.
Every possible exertion should be
made to spread the doctrine of true
bimetallism. The fallacies of it's ex-
ponents must be exposed. The declara-
ton of financial independence must
be made popular. The United States
were able to establish their own finan-
cial policy in the days of national
weakness; they are better able to do
so now in the days of national
strength, wealth and Importance. In
ternational agreement would be very
welcome, but it has heretofore been
nothing but an ignis fatus.
If such an agreement can be reached
before the contest of 1896 it will sim
there is little prospect of such a set
Element of the momentous question.
The silver campaign must therefore be
waged on an independent basis, and
that will prove no barrier in the way
of an international conference on the
question.
But it would be unwise for Demo-
their party organization. 1t would ac-
complish nothing favorable to silver.
The right thing to do is to work for
silver within the lines of the party,
and strive to control it in the silver
interest so that silver candidates shall
be nominated for Congress and for the
Presidency.
If it should so happen that the Dem
ocratic party dominates candidates
who are not real bimetallists, it will
be time enough then to absolve party
ties so far as they are concerned, and
go for men who will support the silver
cause
This is very important. Democrats
should not allow themselves to be be-
guiled out of their party. We have
faith in it as the party of silver re-
demption and restoration, and feel
confident that if it shall nominate sill
yer men in SO, victory will be its re-
ward. 1t is for this reason that we
urge upon the Democrats of Utah to
fight for silver within the ranks of
their own party, until it shall be sure
that the party is not true to its ira
ditions and doctrines. But silver must
be the first consideration, after all.
and Democrats should be prepared for
whatever may face them in the fu-
ture.

EVASION WILL NOT ANSWER.

The Herald has furnished the names
and places of firms which have in
creased their facilities for manufac-
lures and raised the wages of their
employees, and there is no dispute as
to the facts. A contemporary, which
is nothing if not contemplate. has
endeavored to evade these proofs of
reviving prosperity, by asserting that
they were compiled by a goldbug as
evidence that sound money is the
cause. We have presented them only
as proof that the predictions OF Repub-
licans about the ruin which the DEM
ocratic tariff would bring to the coun-
try are manifestly false. That is the
gist of the argument; the figures were
cited as proof OF the facts.
1t would not make any difference,
either to the facts or the argument,
if what our contemporary asserts
about the compilation of the data was
true. The mills and factories and
foundries that have been in operation
for some months past, and the rise
that has been given in the wages of
operatives, are encouraging proofs of

NOT A FINANCIAL SUCCESS.

A great deal was expected, not only
in England but throughout the COM
mercial world, from the Manchester
ship canal which gave that manufac-
turing city direct communication with
the sea. 1t was thought that it would
prove highly remunerative to the pro-
motors of the gigantic undertaking,
who rejoiced exceedingly at its COM
pletion and felt that their fortunes
were secured. But according to the
London Times, the first year of the
Manchester ship canal does not ap-
pear to have been remarkably sue
cessful. The present revenue is far
from being adequate to meet even
maintenance charges and working eX-
penses, and it is not much more than
sufficient to pay interest on the first
per cent debentures, not to mention
the f5,OOO,0O0 corporation loan, and
the fS,000,O00 of the ordinary and pre-
ference stock. The fact is-to put the
matter as nearly in a nutshell as pos
sible-that the promoters of the en-
terprise originally thought that they
had only got to make a ship canal;
they, or their successors, have found
that in order to make the canal of
any real service they have got to
create a port also.

prosperous industry, all the same
What, then, is the object Of making
assertions about the purpose of com
piling the list of these advances II
they have actually been made?
But our contemporary is not only
contemptibly evasive in that shifty
style of lodging an issue, but is will
fully false in it's assertions. 1t says
now that we have been caught by
this goldbug trick and used the points
of one of those extra Sheets which
it alleges were compiled to show how
much better it is for the wage-earner
to get his pay in gold than in the
fifty cent dollar"
The Herald has taken nothing from
the extra sheets which the Tribune
speaks of. Not a single reference to
them or either of them has been made
in The Herald; not one of them has
been read by The Herald; there was
no purpose of applying the facts pub
lished by The Herald to the silver
question or the gold question, and our
lying neighbor is, as usual, endeavor-
ing to get away from the argument
by falsely accusing a paper against
which it is continually trying to vent
its petty spite and brutal but puerile
malice.
1t has been much excited recently
over few pointed facts presented ty
The Herald, and whines like kid
with pin in its diaper But it seems to
forget the mean and vicious lies it has
been publishing about The Herald. its
editor and manager, locally and editor
tally, for many weeks past.
Let them go. Its present falseh BOD
will not turn aside the logical conclu-
sion inevitable from the facts and
figures published by The Herald,
which the Tribune dare not deny, but
only attempts. in its common cowardly
manner, to crawl away from and OBJ
scure from the public by throwing DIRT
at. the ALLEGED compiler
Another wilful falsehood in the same
article IS that The Herald thinks the
Tribune ought to discuss the silver
question with it. The Herald has
never expressed such a thought on
the contrary, we understand very
well that the Tribune has nothing to
say on that question but what it has
borrowed from real silver authorities,
and we have proved beyond question
that it makes more miserable blunders
and utters more palpable absurdities
on that question, than any paper in
America which poses as a friend of the
white metal.
Coming back to the real question
which our unprincipled neighbor slips
away from. the revival Of all kinds of
industries, the employment of thou
sands upon thousands OF workmen
who were idle few months ago, the
increase in wages in a number Of in
dustries, and the general activity in
the home and foreign trade of this
country, are proofs that the evil prog
nostications of our unreliable contem-
porary and other high tariff papers,
as to the effects of the Democratic
tariff reform. were false and foolish
and based on incorrect principles and
erroneous calculations. That is the
point we advanced and all the false
hoods and evasions our neighbor can
invent will not turn it aside.

The Philadelphia Press says the one
overshadowing fact in the situation
is that London is once more buying
American stocks. This has been fol-
lowed by a booming stock market.
Why London is buying stocks is a
question which has a various eXplana-
ton. The fact remains. When Lon
don sold, from 1890 to 1898, panic was
brought on here. When London buys,
prices rise here and fortunes are made
in a day. Now for the present, the
London tide has turned. There is ev-

upward movements on which every
thing can be floated and on which
everything advances.
