A vrominent politician remarked in our ving the other day that Van Wyck would probably be eleeted to suceeed himself. Ex- pressing our surprise at this assertion, since it would be contrary to custom for Nebraska to send a United States sena- tor for a sceond term, the gentleman re- marked that with a republican administra- tion, so that a senat would have an im- mense patronage at his disposal, the politi- cians would unite and defeat hing but with no place to give, no perquisites to bestow upon political friends, the man would be chosen United States senator simply for his ability to do good for the state and her people —and that man was unguestionably Van Wyek. BTN Novel Will Question, N. Y. Herald, In i recent Wisconsin ease the validity of awill was questioned on the ground that the testator conld not read the language in which it was writte ‘e testator was a German; the will was Enlish. The cuse went to the supreme court and was the figst in which the question had ever been raised in that state. Nor was any pre- edent from any quarter cited. The will was sustained. The court rules that the law does not require that a testator shall be able to read his will. 1f such were the law neither the blind nor the iliite rate could make a valid will. All that 15 neces- sary is proof that the testitor was corrcetly informed as to the contents of the will and knew what he was signing. - MUSICAL AND DRAMATIO.
