The inheritance of wealth.

That 'Often no greater misfortune
can befall children than great riches
cast upon them by gifts and inheri-
lance" is the conviction expressed
by United States Judge John F.
Phillips, of Kansas City. This con-
viction. ''deepened by the exhibitions
of prOdigality and depravity of the
contending parties was uttered by
Judge Phillips as an ''Obiter dictum'
in announcing a decision in the Bunel
will case. The quarreling heirs he
said did not submit to the labor of
acquiring an education" They "spurn-
ed the honors and dignities that come
from labor" Then follows this very
strong language by the Judge:
1.-The boy has been content to be a
mere parasite, to exist in idleness and
rot out in wantonness and riot; while
the girl, aspiring to a share in the
bounty of trust, has grown up with a
rowing fancy and unstable habits, il
Hterate and hayward, Conforming
parental authority and respect. =
This condition of affairs is aggrava-
ted by its demoralizing effect upon
lawyers and hungry retainers who be-

seemingly thrust their personality in
to the litigation"
These very phrases might be used
in description of many other idle
heirs of large estates who waste their
substance in idleness and riotous liv-
ing. The desire of everyone for them
selves and their children should be in
the words of Agur the son of Jakeh,
Give me neither poverty nor riches
How happy would the people of free
America be if the prediction made by
James Russell Lowell for the United
States before the civil war could be
realized: "This new world of ours is
to be the world of great workers and
of small estates"

Opening the Yates sIush Fund.

ION the other hand. his opponents
declare that if 'slush fund is used
in the county they will take steps to
secure an investigation of the man
agement of the institution by the
grand jury. They point to the fact
that when the reformatory had 1,50O
inmates only 81 employees were re-
quired to care for them, while now
that the number of prisoners has
been reduced to 900. the management
finds 40 employees necessary.
Notices of assessment are said to
have been sent to the other state in
situations, which are expected to net
the campaign fund of the governor
$4,000 before Feb. 1. to say nothing
of the per cent fund which has been
paid in the majority of the inStitu-
tions for the last two years.

THE WEB OF HISTORY.

The afterlights of history set new
faces on many personages and events.
For instance, we now discover that
jefferson had nothing to do with the
preliminaries of the Louisiana pur-
chase; that these were arranged by
Livingstone and Monroe without the
presidents knowledge, and his con
sent to the ratification of the treaty
was reluctantly granted.
There is no fact so plain that time
does not weave such a maze about it
that the actual often vanishes in the
whirl. 1t is not long since Abraham
Lincoln's day, yet now we are inform
ed that the cherished rail-splitter yarn
was IA myth and that the homely pres
ident never engaged in such all occu-
patton i'll his life.
Then there are the historical figures
of Napoleon and Josephine. Who can
say. from the lights afforded by his
tory, whether Josephine was good
wife or mere wanton? Napoleon
himself runs the scale from God to
devil.
Referring back to Lincoln's genera
tion. we are left in doubt as to the
assassin Booths true fate. The vers-
ions are many and varied, and it is
asserted now and then that Booth il
yet in the land of the living or has
but just departed from it.
Should we lend heed to all that is
written, what kind of character would
we sift from the mass to bestow ON
General Grant-or even the sanity
Washington? We would learn ON the
one hand that Grant was drunk at
Shiloh, mere cipher in the plans
that won the heights of Vicksburg,
while the reverse of the picture dis
plays him rs "A veritable eagle OF
battle, a model citizen and Soloman
in council The patriot Washington
ranges from the loud -mouthed, pro
fame, registering libertine to the lofty
plane of the demigod.

figures comparatively near our own
time, how far away must it be with

actors in the drama of two Thousand
years ago Our old histories caused
us to shudder at the mere mention of
the monster Nero; now comes the
news that of all the rulers of ancient
Rome, Nero was gentlest. After
nearly two thousand years of persecu
ton. we are left to wonder whether
the Jews had any hand in crucifying
Christ or whether there was ever
such happening, or Christ ever
walked the earth at all. Protane
history is strangely silent on an
event almost as important as the birth
of the world. and even the casual al
uson by Josephus is viewed as an
Interpolation.
Thus are our idols shattered, our
dreams dissolved Whether Caesar
or day laborer. all are destined for
the same goal, and the Caesar will

Our own judgments are as vain as
the wind that blows, and it matters
not whether we make our heroes di-
