We' have now in a leading newspaper an editorial arti- cle proclaiming . that a man has no right te any property beyond his life- time, and that all he leaves and be- queaths ought to go- to 'the state," that 1s; the gang of piundering | demagogues 'into . whose hands, when | things had come to that pass, the state would surely fall. The 'man, for | example, who by his earnings wnd sav- ings had made himself owner of - } farm, would have no power of be queathing it to his family.
