"A LEGAL PROBLEM.
Difficulties of Broeklyn Widow, wAe
Desires to Adopt Intended Hus-
band Of Dead Daughter.

Mrs. Mary Augustus Mott, Brook
Ign widow, with fortune Of 100000,
has petitioned the supreme court to
legally sanction her adoption of
Charles IA. Crane. Mr.. Crane is &c
years old, wealthy, and member of a
family prominent in the social affairs
of Brooklyn. While the adoption of
minors is common legal proceeding,
there is no provision in the statutes
for the adoption Of an adult, and Mrs.
Mott is not altogether confident that
her petition will be granted. In the
event of the supreme courts refusal to
sanction the adoption an effort will be
made to have the legislature pass q
special enabling measure.
Mrs. Mott, who is 80 years old, lives
In a handsome house at 1877 cambridge
street. She has no living children and
no near kindred.
A romance lies behind the legal pro-
ceedings. Mr.. Crane was engaged to
marry Mrs. Motifs only daughter.
Three years ago, just before the time
set for the wedding, the young girl
died. The loss of her daughter affect
cd Mrs. Mott deeply.
1t had been arranged that after the
wedding Mr.. Crane and his bride were
to live with her mother. Mrs. Mott be-
came much attachedto the young man,
who has never ceased grieving over
the loss of his afiianced. Mutual grief
was the basis of the attachment ex-
listing between the mother and the
young man.
After her daughters death Mrs.
Mott urged Mr.. Crane to make her
home his home, and he has lived at her
house.
The wording of the petition for adop-
ton fled with the Brooklyn supreme
court by Mrs. Motifs attorney is Pc
culiar, in view of the fact that Mr..
Crane is grown man, banker at
30 Broad street, where he Is associated
with his fathers firm, Crane & David.

The original object of the Porto
Rican tariff bill was to save Connecti-
cut to the republican party, but the
consequence may be tolose Minnesota,
if the result of the municipal election
in St. Paul is an indication of senti-
ment throughout that state. There
is also much dissatisfaction in Mime
soea, it is said, because of the failure
of congress to ratify the reciprocity
treaties which have been pending all
winter, for they promise to extend our
markets for wheat, flour and other
cereals. The republican leaders are
showing much concern on this sub
ject, as well as the senators and rep
resentatives from thatstate. Chicago

HOPE IN DEMOCRATS.
Gov. Pingree Gives His Views.
Says the Republican Party Cannot BE
Looked For to Do Anything With
Trusts--Expects Light Vote
at the Fall Election.

Detroit, Mich. April 29.-Gov. Pin.
grees has become convinced that the
hope of the country is in the demo-
cratic party, ''There is no use in hop
that the republican party will do any
thing with the the trusts" said he.
st used to be that some of the men
with lots of money were in the demo
cratic party, too, SO that the parties
were split on questions involving the
interests of capital, but now they are
all in the republican party, and WE
millionaires must stand together, you
know.
SITUATION IN MICHIGAN.
ssTake the situation right in thi.
state on the taxation question. The
mass of the people are right, and the
Republican party has been placed
in power. But it has blocked every
move toward equal taxation. There

Bryan's Comments.

w. j. Bryan in passing through
Chicago paused long enough to make
some of those shrewd and pungent
comments for which he is noted.
Ina few words Bryan goes to the
heart of subject, touches the core of
the matter and flashes the light of a
brilliant intelligence on the dark
places in republican plots.
Speaking of the Porto Rican affair,
Bryan said: tThe Porto Rican tariff is
the first open step of the republican
party in the way of Imperialism. 1t
demonstrates that the republican
president and congress are not and do
not propose to be bound by the consti-
tuition outside of forty-five states.
Outside these states they elect to
follow their own sweet Wills
Thus in paragraph does William
j. Bryan expose the imperialisti(
schemes OF the republican administra
tion. Volumes could say no more.
Apropos of the closing of the steel
mills and the action taken by Gates
Bryan tersely said:
+ 1.-THE shutting down of the mills al
the instance of an individual illus.
trates three things about trusts: First
how trusts can lessen demand for arti.
cles by raising the price; second, how
helpless employees are in the hands OF
trusts; third, how consumers are
plundered by private monopoly. / dt
not know much about Mr.. Gates
speculation, but if what hear is tru
it illustrates new phase, that stock
holders in trusts can be duped as wei
as the general public plundered.
No clearer exposition of the evils o
trusts has been made than this brie
expression on the part of William j
( Bryan. There is not a word too muc
nor too little. Every sentence is
flash OF intellectual lightning and th
advocates of trusts can no more dodg
these electrical discharges than the
could dodge a thunderbolt Launches
at their heads from the heavens.
Bryan is man of the people. Hi
thoughts are all for the benefit Of til
people and his words are clear, luci
and irrefragable in their transcenden
logic Chicago Dispatch.

words spoken by a man who once

gIets it because it means that the
gentleman will be denounced as a
traitor, demagogue and a copper
head. No man can express such senti-
ments these days without being open
to the charge of treason to the repub-
lican party:
"ThoSe arguments that are
made, that the inferior race are
to be treated with as much allow
ance as they are capable of enjoy
ing: that as much is to be done
for them as their condition will
| allow-wiat are these arguments?
They are the arguments kings
have made for enslaving the
people in all ages of the world.
You will find that all the argu-
ments for kingcraft were of this
class; they always bestrode the

they wanted to do it, but because
the people were better off for be-
ing ridden"
The republican who would stand W
today and use such language would bt
read out of the party. In addition tt
that he would be villified and abused
