iII-considered Bequest.

At his death, Paganini, the great
violinist. left his magic violin to his
native city of Genoa, but with the con-
dition that it should remain enclosed
in glass and never be played upon.
A peculiarly of ali wood is that as
long as it is handled and used it lives,
and wears but slightly; it is, however,
no sooner laid aside than it begins to
decay, and becomes the prey of In
sects. So that this wonderful violin,
which might have thrilled the world
for hundreds of years to come with its
heart-searching tone, is becoming
worm-eaten In its grand glass case,
and soon will be nothing but heap
OF worthless dust.

EARLY NEW YORK HISTORY
terry Was Once Just What the

That part of Manhattan known as
the Battery was originally what It's

Whitehall and Water streets to Green
wichs. street and bristled with guns.
Where the elevated structure now is
was water Three hundred feet off
shore stood the building now used for
the Aquarium. 1t was fort, and be-
came known as Castle Clinton. With
Fort Lafayette and Castle Williams it
constituted a part Of the defense of
New York
It had been ceded to the Federal
government by the state. and In 1922
was coded back. Here it was General
Lafayette landed when he visited the
country more than 40 years after the
close of the Revolution. The fort had
then been rooted over, and it had been
rechristened castle garden and was a
place of amusement. Jenny Lind, the
Swedish Nightingale" made her New
York debut in it.
The work in filing in the ground
from the old Battery to what is now
the sea wall, and the making of the
park, continued and in 1855 It be-
came the immigrant station for the
reception Of future Americans.

.flc law requires, or implies, that only
qualified electors may have their
names placed on the ballot by petition
signed by other qualified electors.
Since he failed TO pay his poll tax,
Mr. Cleek is not qualified clector.
IT is understood that Mr.. Cleek in
tended to enter the June primary, but
on account of the oath primary cam
didates are required to take to the
effect that they did not vote for the
candidate of any party other than the
Democratic party in the preceding

for the primary. About two weeks
ago he presented to the commission

forcibly to the average reader just
what effect the new Republican tariff

his or her pocketbook:
Twenty years ago the two great po-
litical parties reached the parting Of
the ways at the sign of the tariff. and
it was difficult for the people to form
any well-rounded judgment on the
subject.
Republican newspapers felt them
selves bound to support and justify
a high tariff, right or wrong, and
Democratic newspapers felt it incum-
bent on them to shout for free trade

less Of the consequences. Those were
he days when the independent voter
was denounced as "mugwmnp."

In an editorial against the amend
mCnt the BradCntown Herald saws
among other things: There is moth
ing in the proposed amendment that
gives the governor any more power
over the legislature, nothing more
to make il do its sworn duty, than
at present" That statement is not
correct, but it gives us an oppor-
tunity to state the whole situation in
a nut shell: 1t is not a CONSTITU-
TIONAL impossibility TO reapportion
the state under the present conStitU-
ton, but il is a POLITICAL impossi-
bility. The lawmakers are not going
home with the story that their own
counties have lost representation, but
thoy ARE willing 10 return to their
people with the report that OTHER
counties have GAINED representa-
ton. In other words it is a political
imDOssibility to reapportiOn the leg
islature without increasing its total
membership. The proposed amend
ment provides for an increase in the
