ArrER.DEATH CON TESTS.

In recent years but few large estates
are settled without an after.death con-
test. The breaking Of the will OF Sam
uel J.. Tilden seemed to be an invitation
to all claimants Of an estate, the owner
ship Of which is left in doubt by death,
to combine against the will il there is
one and against the legal heirs il there is
no will. 1t is a pretty we'll settled fact
that no lawyer can draw up a will that
some other lawyer cannot find flaws in.
Possibly out OF this uncertainty will
grow the custom of distributing large &C.
cumulations of property during life. 1t
is possible that within . few years there
will be in the public mind a presumption
Of unsound intellect in a man who con-
tinues in the decline Of life to accumu.
late money for his heirs to dispute over.
A pretty strong case may be worked up
on that theory. There is supposed to be
a motive for every human action, but it
is hard to find q motive for q pursuit Of
wealth under the conditions named. The
mind may be considered diseased that
takes no interest in the work conducted
for the relief Of the poor, the education
of the young, the maintenance Of parks,
Libraries and kindred resorts for the pub.
lie at large. Giving relief to the unfor-
tunate must be a source Of pleasure TO
every healthy mind. To what better
purpose can the last years Of q rich mans
life be devoted than in the distribution
Of his own wealth ?-S. f. Call.
