SOME WILLS

A member of the English parlia-
ment just deceased bequeathed tohis
two daughters his entire estate $72O,
600. with the provision that they
can only inherit if they attain the
age Of 30 wothout wedding either a
Hebrew or q citizen of the United
States.
A curious evidenced the foresight
Of Benjamin Franklin is furnished
by one of the items in his will. A
small sum of money, was left with
the proviso that it would not be
used until the twentieth cantuay,
and that meanwhile the accumula-
ting interest should be added to the
principle.
The gift has now become available,
with the result that the trustees of
the Franklin fund have TO their dis
posal 1915, 900, which win be used
toerect a Franklin institute in Frank
lin square, Boston.
More singular even than any of
these odd requests was the obliga-
ton that Lord Butte imposed on his
heirs. As he lay dying he express
ed the wish that his heart should be
taken to the holy land and buried
there, adding that unless this was
done his relatives would never rest
happy in possession Of his estate.
So strong was this appeal that the
order was carried out to the letter.

The Supreme Court last week
handed down decision in the case
between W. q. Evans and t. NJ.
Wright for possession Of the re-
cordcr's Office ofCrawfortl County.
Evans was elected circuit clerk
and cX-ofiicio recorder of that
county, as a Republican, in 1898.
\ Democratic county court sits
on the bench there. This county
court recently made an order to
separate the offices of circuit clerk
and recorder and declared the lat
ter Office vacant. Thereupon Gov.
Dockery appointed Wright, a
Democrat, to fill the vacancy.
Evans, however, refuse to give up
the Office on the ground that be
had been elected to it by the pco
ple and had right to serve his
full term Of four years. Caster
proceedings were instituted in the
supreme court, and the opinion
Just handed down sustains the
county court in its power to scpar
ate the Offices. So Evans will
have to give up the recorders Of
fee. The law in the case, as we
understand it is, when the popula-
ton of 4 county exceeds Is. 900 the
county court has the power to sep
arnte the Offices of circuit clerk
and recorder when they had there
tofore been filled by one officer. \
parallel case could be made in this
county under the supreme courts
ruling. Here Democrat holds
the two Offices, while Il Republican
county court has the power to take
the best paying office away from
him. OF course, under the exist
ing state administration it would
profit the Republicans here moth
ing to separate the two Offices.
since the Governor would appoint
a Democrat only to fill the vacancy;
but at the same time if our county
conrt were so disposed, for parti,
san reasons. there is nothing to
hinder it from taking action in the
matter.

Democratic Officials Sins.

The Democratic party in Mis-
souri, and jackson County Is suf-
fcrlng on account of sins commit
ted in its name by men who have
been honored by public perfcr-
mcnt as democrats. In the state
the Offices, which have been con-
sidered tho spoils belonging ex-
clusively to democrats, have in 4
manner been held from administra-
ton to administration by the same
political family. The state officials
at Jefferson City have had control
of influences which dictated the
nominations Of state conventions.
At this very minute members Of
the state democratic committee are
provided for. This is one of the
most pernlcious practices in state
and county. No member of r
party executive committee should
he permitted to hold office. This
is merely one of the ways in which
political nominations are controll-
ed and the grip Of bosses pcrpetu-
ated. There are men holding state
office to day, good men, too, who
have been holding office so long
that they do not like to call atten-
ton to it. The same applies in the
county.
There is always a scramble for
nominations and honors at the
state convention, and this Is TO be
expected and desired. Last year
there was an unusually bitter fight
which left 81 spirit Of vindictivc-
ness behind. We believe the so
called Cnrdwcll snit for damages
against the St. Louis Republic to
have been the direct result. Some
body wanted to show sombndy else
that he or they co'ld not he turn
ed down with impunity. 1t was
no friend Of the democratic party
who brought about the dismissal
of the the Cnrdwell case. jackson

Delayed State Appropriations.

Gov. Dockery's trip to Farm
ington, Mo-, to consult with the
commission in charge of the new
asylum partly y constructed in that
town. but boarded up during the
last building season, indicates that
the Democrats of southeastern
Missouri are asking unpleasant
questions. The Pennington asy-
lum was authorized by an act of
the Legislature approved April i.
1899, nearly three years ago.
Work WAS begun, but for some
reason not explained WAS suspend
ed last year. The troubieS was
not lack of appropriations. The
latest was made April II, 1901,
and consisted of 800, 900, with So :
900 more 'out of any funds moi
otherwise appropriated" OF the
amount S25, 900 WAS for the sup
port and payment of the employees.
Bat work on the buildings has
been long suspended, and none of
the appropriation of last April
has been obtained. There is Il
mysterious hitch somewhere. \
half finished public institution,
rotting down before it is under
roof, is certainly not crcditablc to
the party in power.
This state of affairs is the more
surprising because Gov. Dockery
in his New Years review of public
matters asserted that ''our rcve-
nues are ample to meet all the cur
rent expenses of the state govern
ment and at the same time con-
struct the new buildings authorized
by the legislature for educational,
eleemosynary, reformatory and
PENAL institutions" But the loss
of an entire building season at
Pennington tells a different story
unless there has been an extremely
sudden improvement in the state
finances or al inexcusable neglect
on the part Of the ASYLUM commits

called Il sacred obligation. it
does not change the legal aspect Of
the question particle. These arc
the points the honest Democratic
voters of Missouri shoult! consider.
They have the evidence before
them, Sncakingly confessed, that
the laws have been violated by
their party when that party asks
the people to amend the constitn-
ton to conform with this violation.
Shall an otfense against the organic
law of the state be corrected by
changing that law! The duty of
the honest rank and file of the
Democratic party is to join the
honest rank and file of the Re

mates that the journal thought it
was saying something smart when
We stated in 4 recent issue that, if
the school fund in its present form
was IN investment the general tax
hvics should he so regarded. Then
the Democrat goes en- laboriously
to show how an acknowledged state
debt can also be an asset, and that
because the certificates arc draw
ing q higher late of interest than
would accrue from state or govern
ment bonds, had the school fund
been left to remain in such secnri
ties the conversion of the fund
to the nondescript certificates is
held to he Il brilliant piece of inan-
ciering. But like all other defend
crs of the Democracy on this point,
the Democrat eyades the important
question, aud that is, from whence
the school fund in its present form
draws interest. Why not comc
definitely aud positively to the
truth, that the interest on the
certificates represents IL state tax,
