Judge Brubaker, who is said to be an excellent jurist, 1~ . of Lancaster, Pa., has just rendered a decision that will attract general attention. It was in the case of a will in which the testator sOught to prevent litigation by declar- ing that any beneficiary who should contest should be disinherited. Such wills have frequently been probated One of the largest estates ever left by a decedent in all parts of the country. in Vv'ashington- was distributed under We do not know that any contest of such a will has -ever been male, and the happy device of threat- ening disinheritance has, seemed to be a good' thing for everybody outside of t-1e legal profession. In the case de- cided by Judge Brubaker the will in dispute charged one of the heirs with a note to the estate which he asserted had been paid'during the lifetime of the testator; but, under the terms of the will, he was estopped from contest. - Thus situated, he laid the matter before the court, and Judge 'Brubaker has rendered a decision to the effect that a such a will. will threatening disinheritance is not valid. ’ If this decision is sound it applies as well in other States as in Pennsylvania, for it is not based on statutory laws, but on general principles. And why should it not 5stand ? Ought it to be pos- sible for a. threat to insure the unresist- ed probation of a will made chiefly in the interest of one of the heirs unjust- The. Philadelphia Bulletin pertinently in- ly discriminating against others ‘9 quires, “lf threats may be incorporat- ed in a testament, 'what assurance can there be that vicious influences may not have dictated them—that is, inter- ests outside of the parties involved ? ” 3 . .. , ‘ An Absurdly Inconsistent Opposition. ‘ Why’is it that the free trade organs persistently oppose and misrepresent that clause of the Dingley tarifi‘ which .imposes a duty on all f01e1gn pur- chases, in excess of $100, brought into our parts as personal baggage by re- turning American travelers? We can understand and respect, although we cannot indorse,opposition to protection. ~Honest and intelligent men believe that it would be well for the country if all duties-0n imports 5were abolished: Other men of equal claims to respect held that revenue duties only 2'55shodld be‘laid, and that therefore proteétiOn should have 'no consideration initheX framing cf tariff schedules. The Wash- ington Rostrrbelicves that tooh of 'these are wrong, and yet they are clearly within thei1 rights, and. so long as they a1e consistent, they incur no 16- proach. tariff law, a law confessedlyenacted as much in the interests of protection as, ought not to impose-a duty on any goods b1 ought in as per- sonal baggage, is no proper advocacy of the absolute free trade Or the :‘tarifi It. is ad- smacy of class legislation of an odious for revenue. for revenue only” ”scheme kind. It is equivalent to a demand for special privileges for that small p10- portion of, the people who are able to “ go abroad and purchase wearing ap- parel for themselves, their families, their relatives and friends. Why should they be exempt from contribut- ing their sharegto the support of gov- ernment? What is therein the ,creed of the anti-protectionists that would justify that or any other kind of favor- itism ? One might ransack all the free trade literature from theworks of John Stuart Mill down to the disquisitions of Grover Cleveland without finding a word upholding the exemption of the rich or well-tonic tourists from public burdens laid on those who stay at home. And since protection is ordained to stand as our national policy for an in- definite period, will our free trade con- 5 temporaries contend that the tailors, and other makers of and dealers in 359‘ merits, are less entitled to share the benefits of that policy than their fellow- ‘bitiZens engaged in other kinds of bus- .

The free tmde'newspa‘pers are sneer-_ 5 ing at the small amount of revenue col- lected under this clause of the tariff. “Some $74,200 in custom duties was collected during October on the personal baggage of returning American travelers who landed at New York: At this rate the yearly revenue $900, ',000 against Mr. Dingley’s estimate of $10, 000,000. ” Well, a yea1 1y revenue of $900,000 is by no means a contemptible item. But that, considerable as it is at a time when revenues are behind expendituI es, is no guage of the effects of that tax. There is every reason to believe that but for the pe1 sonal baggage tax many million’ 5 worth of goods would have been brought home in trunks, free of duty, that have come and will continue to come as That is the chief benefit of that provision. It subjects to the du- ties imposed the vast amount of wear- freight. escaped taxation. FEMININE CHAT. Mock gems were never in higher fa- vor.

' A hot argument, strange as it may sound, can most effectually cool a friendship. When a woman cares for a man there is no task too difficult for, her to undertake in his behalf. A beautiful invalid exists only in the novelist’s imagination. Health is the synonym for beauty. 5 If marriage is a lottery, then, indeed it is a game of chance, but where is the minister that will discourage it ?
