Laws Of Descent.

| Few are probably aware of the i'm
portant change made in the law Of
| descent of real estate by our Legisla-
ture at its last session. By that law
| the right of dover of the wife in her
husbands estate and that of the hus-
band in his wife's. was fully abolished
and instead thereof the respective par
ties We're made absolute owners in
stead of tenants for life. So that now
in all cases of marriage which have
taken place since May /, 1895, the
widow has an absolute right to one
third of her husbands real estate at
his death if they have children, and
one-half if no children. And after the
first day of January next the same
will apply to all married parties hold
ing real estate in Maine except wild
lands. In case of deeds made by the
husband it is sufficient if the wife as
heretofore signs the deed releasing
dover, but in case of deeds made by
the wife of her real estate the husband
must join the conveyance as grantor.
Heretofore if party has taken a
decd without the wife's release the
title would be- made good upon her
death. But under the new law the
result is altogether different. Upon
her death after her husbands in such
case her third or half passes to her
heirs. her relatives. independent of the
grantee in the deed.
Such is the law now applicable to
all marriages which have taken place
since May 1, 1895, and after January
LIST next will be applicable to ALL Many
other important changes are made by
the new law now cited and the i'm
portant question is presented whether
this new law is a wise one and worthy
of continued place on our statute
books.

Mr. Bryan complains that we haven't
enough money in circulation. There was,
however, when Mr. Bryan, the ardent
supporter of the Wilson bill, was advo-
eating a policy that turned the balance
Of trade against this country and has
drained our money into the Golfers of
the foreign manufacturer. How does he
expect we are to have plenty of money
in circulation when men are idle and
spending the money they saved under a
wise protective tariff in the purchase of
foreign made goods? Yet Mr.. Bryan
