FRIDAY, DECEMBER 28. 1894.

Ci.osuhk in the Senate, if it comes now, will be a little too late to help itoe Democrats much, but it ought to come anyhow.

Hili. acts wisely in interpreting the Tesult of the recent election as a notitication that he should do less talking and more listening.

Italy is struggling with a deticitnot quite so large as ours, but far more •troublesome, as she has never had a Republican party to build up her credit.

Aktkk a calm servey of the elections of 191)4 the Democrats have concluded that there is no need to worry at present over a pivotal State or a logical candidate.

Govhknor Altgeld, of Illinois, has been scoring Judge Woods. A scoring from such an anarchist as Altgeld should be regarded as in the nature of a compliment.

Tiip: high water mark in Sunday school attendance was reached Sunday. The following lines are full of explanation:

Where are you going, my pretty maid? 1 am going to Sunday school, sir, she said. Do you like Sunday school, my pretty mald'r Oh, no, indeed, sir, I don't she said. Then why do you go, pretty maid? 'Cause Christmas is cotulng. sir, she said.

Thkiik seems to be a general understanding that Robert A. Brown, of the I'Yanklin Republican, will be elected Oierk of the House when the Legislature meets. He has very little opposition and his selection would certainly be pleasing to Republican party all oyer the State and the House would at the same time secure a most efficient -officer.

Nkw Yohk TrUmnc: Unless present conditions undergo a radical change, there will be an angry dispute between Mr. Carlisletand Mr. Gresham when Fame steps forward to award a wreath of buckwheat straw to the man who has proved himself to be the prize blunderer of the Cleveland Administration. The achievements of both gentlemen are so nearly equal that the referee may yet have to declare it a .draw.

LThdkh the constitution the Legislature has full authority to determine who may, and who shall not, marry. Could this authority be more wisely exercised than to forbid the marriage of all persons who are in the habit of becoming intoxicated? The law could be easily amended so as to provide that before the Clerk shall issue a license to any one to perform a marriage ceremony, the couple to whom the license is to be issued shall file with the Clerk the affidavit of two reputable free holders of the count3' that the parties to be united in wedlock are not, and for the five years last passed, have not been addicted to the use of intoxicating liquors. The Legislature now soon to assemble, could not pass any other law so well calculated to benefit the human race and advance the cause of a higher civilization. Arguments in support of such a law are unnecessary. Its beneficial effects will at once occur to •every reader.

Thk Indianapolis Journal recently printed an article from the pen of Police Superintendent I'owell giving his views on the defects of the present liquor law, together with some suggestions as to an improved bill. The Superintendent opens by saying, "the present law is woefully defective. It should be amended so it can be enforced." Had he said no more, these few words are sufficient to condemn the law, for they but state the experienced every person charged with the enforcement of the law, and of convicting persons accused of violating its provisions. Mr. Powell would give to the voters of each ward the right to determine whether liquor shall be sold therein, and would wipe out the wine room feature of every saloon because they are the resorts which lead the majority of young girls to ruin. IIe would then have an open bar, no screcns or shades of any kind,and would abolish the bar-room loafer by making it unlawful to keep any tables or chairs in the room where the liquor is sold. The superintendent insists that the license fee should be raised to $1,000. There is a very strong demand from nearly all sections of the State for a more effective law governing and restricting the sale of liquor, and no lime should be lost in formulating the best that can be done on this important question.

THE FATEKWEATIIEB MILLIONS. The New York Tribune editorially comments on Judge Truax's decision in the Fayerweather will contest as follows: j? ,:

The decision of Judge Truax annulling the remarkable deed of gift made by the executors of the Fayerweather estate is another cogent illustration of the perils which environ the testamentary disposition of property. It has been announced already by counsel for the heirs that an appeal will be taken in their behalf, and not improbably the executors will make further efforts to defend their claim to absolute control of the residue, in opposition to the decision of Judge Truax that the bequest was impressed with a secret trust which they are bound to fulfill. The prospect, therefore, is that millions of dollars designed for the use of numerous institutions of learning and charity will remain tied up indefinitely while vexatious and costly litigations enriches a score of lawyers. A more impressive lesson to those having the desire and ability to benefit their fel-low-men by a distribution of their material possessions has not been inculcated since Mr. Tilden's noble purpose was frustrated. As an example of "how not to do it" the Fayerweather will has great merits and should have great utility.

It is probable that, if the decision of Judge Truax should be sustained, the intentions of Mr. Fayerweather will eventually be more nearly filled than there has been substantial reason for anticipating since he departed this life so that his posthumous luck will riot permanently remain in painful contrast with his posthumous fame. But a man so diligent and thrifty as he would surely have been depressed and mortified could he have foreseen too late to avert them the consequences of the singular course which he was advised to adopt. The assurance that four years after his death numerous corporations, some of which he had probably never even heard of, would still be eagerly striving or auxionsl.v hoping to secure or retain an advantageous position in the final partition of more than half of his estate would not have smoothed his passage to the grave unless, indeed, such a revelation of the vanity of this world had suddenly filled him with yearning for the next.

Nor are considerations directly relating to the testator the only considerations of importance in this case. Through common-sense ratifies Judge Truax's opinion that the residury of the estate ought to be divided comformably to the specific bequests, the fact remains that many institutions have been formally authorized to cherish expectations which are now suddenly blighted, and to form plans which are presumably destined to miscarry. Here is the Woman's Hospital, for example, which under the deed of gift would certainly have received 8200,000, and in all probability not far from §500,000 more, but which, if this decision is sustained, will have to content itself with the comparatively paltry gift of

$10,000.

This will justly

deemed a dreadful misfortune by tho.-.e who are especially interested in that institution—a misfortune, moreover, which bears a semblance of a wrong. The prospective loss of $200,000 by the Woman's Art School of the Cooper Union doubtless is likewise peculiarly grievous and exasperating to its managers, students and benefactors. Then there are several minor colleges which, having had reason to rejoice at the prospect of additions, relatively munificent. to their meagre resources, are compelled to resume the old burden of anxious calculation and narrow economy. The decision of Judge Truax seems equitable and therefore in a large sense salutary, but such disappointments as these are hard to bear.

Whatever may remain in doubt pending the result of a final appeal, it is certain that Mr. Fayerweather had power to prevent all this litigation, confusion and affliction by distributing among his chosen beneficaries in his lifetime the immense sura which he had resolved to devote to charity and education. That he might have done so in a different way by exercising greater prudence with respect to his last will and testament is possible, though numerous melancholy experiences tend to refute that conjecture. At any rate the obstacles which his benevolent purpose has encountered and which still impede it are full of suggestion for rich men whose not unnatural disposition to divest themselves of their millions creates so many lucrative opportunities for lawyers, so many private griefs and ills and so many public misfortunes.

KEES ANI) SALAItlKS.

The embryo Senate committee on fees and salaries has declared itself in favor of the salary system based on population. One bill which it has had under consideration divides the counties of the State into thirteen classes, the first class being those under 10,000, the second from 10,000 to 15,000, the third from 1",00() to 20,000, the fourth from 20,000 to 25.000. the fifth from 25,000 to 30,000, the sixth from 30,000 to 35,000, the seventh from 35,000 to 40,000, the eighth from 40,000 to 45,000, the ninth from 45,000 to 50,000, the tenth from 50,000 to 00,000, the eleventh from (50,000 to 75,000, the twelfth from 75.000 to 100,000, the thirteenth over 100,000, and has adjusted the salaries in each class. Montgomery comes in the fifth class and the salaries named are as follows: Clerk, §2,475

Auditor, $2,700 Recorder, $1,450 Treasurer, $2,200 Sheriff, $2,200. These figures are lower than the salaries under the present law which are. Clerk, $2,ii00 Auditor, $2,800 Recorder, $1,500 Treasurer. $2,250 Sheriff, $2,250. With the public business that is done in this county the salaries either under the present or proposed law are entirely too low and 'inadequate. After the officers pay the necessary deputy and clerk hire they take the remainder to compensate themselves for their own work and for the responsibility which is connected with each oflice. This is true particularly of the Clerk, Sheriff ai)d Recorder. Clerk Sparks has two deputies and should have three, but under the law it would re­

quire his entire salary to pay his clerical help. The same is true of the Sheriff and the Recorder. As yet the Auditor is working under the old law and the new law has not been practically demonstrated, but it may be ferred that it will work as great a hardship as the other offices. While the people are unwilling that our county officers shall be paid enormous salaries, yet they are not niggardly and are willing that they should be liberally compensated. It is to be hoped therefore that the Legislature will be just both to the people, and to the officers.

Few if any of those who have examined the Myers voting machine and studied its workings will fail to agree with Mr. Charles S. Smith that the question of its general introduction in the State is worthy of most careful consideration. Mr. Smith thinks that a commission should be appointed by the Legislature to examine the machine and make an early report on it. We gladly second the suggestion. The first cost of the machines would be large, but the investment would be a permanent one, the cost of repairs would be inconsiderable, and the expense of printing ballots would be done away with altogether. It is estimated tiiat 700 machines would be sufficient for this city, and that they could be procured for $140,000. The cost of the official ballots for a single year is $40,000. In less than four years, therefore, the cost of the machines would be saved on this one term of election expenditures.—Sew Vork Tribune.

What is true of New York is equally true of Indiana. The Legislature at its approaching session should through a committee or otherwise examine the merits of the voting machine, investigate its practicability and report on the propriety of its adoption. The saving in the number of election boards and the cost of printing the official ballots would pay for the machines in one election.

As to the proposed fee and salary bill the Lafayette Courier says: If the Legislature is prevailed upon to adopt the fee and salary bill that has received the formal indorsement of a caucus of Republican Senators, the action will doubtless meet with general approval. It is one of the most important subjects with which the General Assembly will have to deal at the ensuing session, and the progress of the proposed bill will be watched with interest by citizens in every section of the State. The Republican party is pledged to economy in the administration of affairs, and it will make friends and supporters if the Legislature acts promptly and prudently in the way of relieving the burden of taxation by retrenchment in every quarter where it is possible to enforce principles of practical economy without prejudice and without detracting from the efficiency of the public service.

The way to atone for a tariff muddle passed in twelve months is not "to put through a currency muddle in twelve davs.

David Martin thought he was wedded to his idol, the cigar, but he swore off the day of the election and since that day tobacco smoke has not tainted his breath or curled around that finely chiseled brow of his.

A mission Sunday school has been organized by the Presbyterians in a vacant store room owned by Mr. Plunkett in the heart of Goose Nibble and the good people of that section feel that reform is almost in sight.

Report says that J. K. Eversou will go this week to purchase a new outfit in the way of a saw mill and will soon be running again. Mr. Everson is an enterprising man full of snap and vim, and it will take something hotter than a burniug saw mill to down him.
