Livermore, CAL, have brought suit to set

airy last, leaving an estate valued at $685..
600. Kearney left his daughters $1,000
each and the remainder to his wife, who
is a stepmother to his daughters. The
basis of the contest is that Kearney's
mind had been ailing for several years.
The fancy took possession of his mind that
his daughters were not his legitimate
children and that they were born out of
wedlock. The petitioners allege improper
influence was exerted on the deceased's
enfeebled mind.

Unite THE FORCES.

The unfortunate withdrawal Of one hundred
thousand Republican votes from the anti-Tam-
many strength in the last campaign resulted
in placing the city in the hands Of Tammany
for four years To come. But that fact does not
require the Abandonment Of all effort for I'M
proving the government Of NewYork until
1901. There Is work To be done every day for
the education Of public sentiment that Will
demand the maintenance of the standards al
ready set, for the curtailment Of powers that
may be abused, for The restraint Of improper
legislative interference, and In preparation for
The next contest That work cannot be begun
TOO soon or carried on too steadily
The election returns make It obvious that
the anti-Tammany people are in the majority.
They can control this city If they will, and
they can exercise a powerful influence upon
its government, even though they have let the
administration of it pass from their hands.
The plain lesson Of Tuesday is that the Citizens
Union and the followers of the Republican or
ganzatOn should get together for cooperation
on municipal affairs The small vote for Tracy
as compared with that for Low should have
taught the machine that the party platform Of
municipal non-p artisanship means something
and that they must obey it in good faith. If
and cease TO regard as an enemy everybody
who manifests independence and every munich
pal movement not taken at It's initiative, the
rock Of difference over which both parties
stumbled will be removed. The organization
which adheres to the noD-partisan doctrine can
have no quarrel with local independents. and
independents will make no compromise with
conscience when they negotiate with those who
meet them on equal terms for a common pur-
pose.
There Is really no reason why men that do
not agree on the tariff question or on the bank
ing question or on foreign policy should stand
and snarl at each other while Tammany with
a local singleness Of purpose rules or mlsrulcs
the city. They might cooperate In several
ways Just now and put some restraint on Tam
manys disposition to run riot in It's new pos
session, and also put some restraint on Platts
disposition TO use the Legislature as a personal
instrument regardless OF the interests OF the
Republican party the State or the city. We
have no doubt that n large body OF the Citizens
Union realize that their strength must be. not
In superior isolation. but union, and that large
body OF the organization Republicans realize
that narrow partisanship in local affairs Is I'M
profitable folly. Each body Of citizens Is nee
essary to the other. The two should together
reach basis Of common work.

PASSING SOUTHERN PREJUDICES.

The agitation recently started by the Nir'
ginia Grand Camp Of Confederate Veterans
for the exclusion OF Northern histories from
the public schools OF the Old Dominion and
the removal Of the United States flag from
all the public school buildings will lend an
unfortunate color to the suspicion. still active
In certain quarters, that even thirty-two years
after the failure Of the struggle for secession
Southern opinion remains at bottom unrecon-
cied to the political results Of the Civil War
That the suspicion Is an exaggerated one and
does the South material injustice, we do not
doubt; for It may be seriously questioned
whether the belated protest OF the Virginia
irreconcilables against an abandonment OF the
South's traditional anti National theories finds
any substantial echo in Southern sentiment to-
day. The particular grievances which the Vir
ginIa veterans seek to have redressed are the
Introduction into the State schools of Amer
can history textbooks In which the conflict Of
the two theories of State rights and National
sovereignty is traced with an after the-event
logic not wholly soothing to Southern suscept-
bilities, and the gratuitous cultivation OF Ma
tional as opposed to State feeling by the dis
play of the National emblem from the flag
STATS Of all the Virginia public schools. To re-
ylye assailed and fading Southern traditions
the Virginia Camp proposes to have the unfa-
miliar State flag fly hereafter from the school
houses and to con1ine the historical instruction
furnished by the Commonwealth to such text
books as present purely States rights view
of the causes and outcome Of the War Of the
Rebellion.
That this fanclfu crusade will have the ef-
feet of arrestlng the general drift Of Southern
opinion toward modern and established theories
of National sovereignty and National union
seems utterly improbable. The action of the
veterans themselves In making such protest
is in itself striking evidence OF the decay of
the old ideals and prejudlces which were once
the very cornerstone of Southern politics. That
Virginia herself has in great measure accepted
the results of the war and put behind her its
passions and animosites was plainly shown
by the recent offer Of the city Of Richmond TO
entertain the veterans Of the Grand Army Of
the Republic two years hence Mt their annual
encampment. Opposition was made then by
certain element In Richmond and through
the State to this generous and public-spiritsd

BEER AGAINST BOATS.

The German national beverage has defeated
the German Empcror's pet scheme. Naval OK
pansiOn IL sacrificed to cheap beer That Is
the simple but sufficient explanation OF the
abandonment of the plan put forward by the
Emperor through Herr Tirptz his Minister OF
Marine for Shipbulldlng for n period Of seven
Years The plan was to spend about $4,000
600 year for the next seven years The prln-
ciple of the septcnnate was vigorously urged
as essential 10 the proper development OF the
navy II would insure continuous and consist
ent progress such as could be secured In no
other way similar system had been adopted
In the army, with the happlest results. and 1t
was asked that 1t be applied to the navy in
order that the latter might be brought up to
the same degree of efficiency that the former
enjoys The opponents Of the scheme argued
that naval construction Is az yet In too expert
mental Stage TO warrant thus committing the
Government 20 so long programme. There
would be danger Of the department falling into
the hands Of faddsts who would spend millions
on vessels OF uncertain value. The true course
was to make a separate programme for each
year as they came TO 1t, and thus gain the full
benefit of experience as they went along.
Beyond doubt there is much sense in the ar
guments Of both sides. Each system has It's
advantages and disadvantages But this dis
spute was not 10 b. decided on It's merits. The
question arose how the money for the scptcn-
nate was TO De raised. The Government had no
reply ready. 1t would come from the usual

nents OF the measure, however saw In this
their opportunity. Rightly or wrongly, they ac.
