SOME GOOD IN III.

We are frank to say to our able con
temporary, the HERALD, that i'm some
respects We regard the proposed new
Constitution as superior to the present
one, while in Others it Is not nearly so
good
We must add, too, that we have very
little faith that good can come out Of
an attempt to evade and circumvent
the fundamental and supreme law Of
the land, nor do we believe that it is
right or manly to discriminate against
a man or his race simply because ms
skin is mot cOlored like our own. D.
Spirit Of the Valley
Good" must come "out Of an at
tempt to recognize intelligence rather
than ignorance, and when it is remem-
bered that the discrimination, Of which
our brother complains, is against char
acter rather than color, it is not only
manly, but prominently just and
righteous.

"MHAT FOR -

The \. Y. Journal, of last Sunday,
asks this question for the man who has
grown old with but one object in life,
that Of making money: ale has made
a hundred millions of dollars but not
one human friend. lie can hire al.
most any man to do anything, but
there is not enough money in the
world to hire any one to miss him
sincerely when he is gone. He has
insured his life for half million.
When asked why, he said: Il want
some insurance company to bs sorry
when die"
A strain almost as sad as that runs
through the entire issue of this "yal-
lowest Of "yellow journals" and even
Mrs. John a. Logan is employed to
swell the sad refrain, woman of
wealth whose love Of money is 50 great
that she unblushingly feeds year by
year at the Governments crib 10 the
tune Of 5000 The mad rushers are
not the people to cry, stop thief"
What means the strenuous" life of the
Journal, and the agonizing Of Mrs.
Logan for "more?' Are they not
making shipwreck upon the breakers
to which they point and against which
they warn? Sage is not sinner above
all men.

A NOTED WILL CASE
Judge Evans Decided One at Louis
vile Yesterday.
Ii Has Afforded Rich Pickings for the
Lawyers-Deceased Lived in South
west Kentucky.
HE PRACTICED IN CHRISTIAN

Judge Walter Evans, of the federal
court, has decided a case at Louisville
that will be of interest to the people
of Southwest Kentucky, where one of
the principals once resided.
Ii was yesterday that Judge Evans
read TO the bar there an opinion con-
STRUNG the will of FIdelio q. Sharp,
relative of Solomon p. Sharp, the IA
nous attorney general, and himself one
of the most noted Of Kentucky's law
yers who practiced during the early
half of the nineteenth century. Like
that of Samuel ]. Tilden, Sharp's will
has been a greater boon for his legal
colleague than for the objects Of his
bounty, and the federal court proceed
ings are but one branch of the litigs-
tion caused by the various ways Of
constituting it.
In his opinion the court sustnins the
claims of VIM. Mackenzie, . resident
Of Ireland, who seeks to foreolose q
mortgage given him by Mrs. Mary
Evelina Mcclellan, of Memphis, Tenn.
to secure him for 5000, which she
borrowed. Mrs. Mcclellan was a
daughter and devisee of Sharp, and the
mortgage she furnished the plaintiff
covered certain real estate in Christian
county, which she alleged had been
left her by her father in fee simple.
Mrs. Mcclellan died in 1899, and
Harry s. and Robert NJ. Mcclellan and
Lily A. aud T, r. Troendle, her heirs
opposed the payment Of the mortgage
on the ground that Sharp, by his will,
left Mrs. Mcclellan merely life es-
tate IN the property in controversy.
The court holds that she inherited a
fee simple and that the estate can be
subjected for the amount.
Judge Evsus makes tine following
reference to the lawyer whose will
caused the trouble: ''In my early
boyhood the fame of Fidelio Q. Sharp,
in Christian county, where / lived,
was very considerable, and has proved
to be locally quite enduring. His
prowess as 'lsnd.lswyer" and as a
bad speller was equally renowned. His
reputation as a lawyer, largely depend
ed on tradition, has been diminished
by time, whose work has probably
been aided by some troubles which
those concerned have had in ascertain
ing the meaning Of his will Howev-
err, he was not the only astute lawyer
whose testsmentary efforts have con-
tributed to the labors OF the courts"

ens except Councilmen Voolfolk and
ellison.
Second passage was given the fol.
lowing ordinances, regulating the mar.

City Engineer Washington reported
that the contract for carpenter work

Greek had been let to Mr. B. 7. Davis.
When the question of ratification came
up,a protest was filed from the carpen-
ter union, calling attention to the fact
that the city had adopted resolution
that all city work be done by organ
lied labor, and asking that q clause be
inserted in the contract STIMULATING
that Mr.. Davis employ only union men
on the work. Mr.. Wallace, of the union
explained that it was not personal
matter, and that it was not desired that
the contract be taken from MIR. Davis,
but simply that he be required to en-
ploy union men on the work. After
the usual wrangle the contract was
ratified without any stipulation as to
what kind of men should be employed.
Councilmen Hummel, Taylor and Me
haus voted against the contract.
The police question came up, and
Mayor Yeiser said that the police com
missioners had asked for 20 officers,
the as now. For this reason he
was in favor of 26 officers.
This started heated argument, and
after each member had his say, a vote
on the 90 resulted in tie, Councilmen
Fowler, Reed, Brooks, jackson sndJohn-
son voting against it and the other five
for it.
The motion to have 20 policemen
Jared likewise, and it was decided to
allow the matter to remain in allegiance
until after the aldermanic board meets
tonight.

ent colors, so officers can tell at q
glance what sort of license has been
taken out by the owner, whether for
one horse, two horse or other charac-
ter of wagon.
Councilman Brooks reported that
the sewerage record in possession Of
former Inspector Georgia.. Gardner was
the lstter's own private property, and
could not be taken from him.
The board then adjourned.
