ifornia, and if California appreciates it at
its true worth, it will give to California a
destiny and a grandeur which she would
otherwise be wanting. The East should
not envy the West this great blessing, but
rather should she rejoice att. The Eagle
says that Gravel nowadays is so easy
and SO swift that a few days could
bring all those who will avail
themselves Of the new university to any
of the older universities, and with such
an endowment the latter would draw
large numbers of students from all parts
of the world" Such an argument ap.
plies equally well in favor OF the great
universities of Europe; and if Governor
Stanford's endowment would draw stu
dents from all parts of the world if it had
been for the benefit of some Eastern uni
versity, why may it not draw them to the
West? 1t was California that furnished

tions OF learning in the East from which
the Trustees of that institution might
have drawn one Perhaps Berkeley was

Southern States than the desert alkaline
lands of Utah are like the rich, loamy soil
of the Western States. When the timber
laws of the Government were enacted
they had in view the immense forests of
the East, and not the scattered and scrag-
Cling tree clumps of the West; but their
rigor applies to the scanty and almost in
accessible supply of the West. All this
should be made clear to the Department,
and no doubt Secretary Lamar will make
the rules for governing the cutting of
timber in the West, where it is indispen-
sible to the exploitation of mines, con-
form to the peculiar conditions of the
West, and not undertake the impossible
task of making the conditions imposed
by nature conform to the rules.
We do not believe that it ever entered
into the head of Secretary Lamar, or of
Commissioner Sparks, to make it rule
that no timber should be cut upon the
public lands except by the identical man
who is going to use the timber when made
into lumber The men of the East are
very largely unacquainted with both the
social and natural conditions of the West,
kut they are not entirely devoid of COM
mon sense, and the President has not
selected his Cabinet from among those
eminent for want of this common

AGITATED.

The Republican press continue to be
greatly agitated over the conduct OF Post
master-General Villas in. regard to the
mail subsidy. Mr.. Villas has not acted
cautiously in the matter, and it is safe to
say that he has not acted without great
deliberation and consultation with those
competent to advise in such matters.
The charge that he has deliberately
ignored an Act of Congress is followed up
by the still more terrible charge that he
is driving American ships from the sea.
The Democrats have only been in office
eight months, but in that time they have
swept from the seas the unrivalled navy
of the United States, which was built up
under Republican rule, and Mr.. Villas
has now undertaken the task OF driving
American merchantmen from the seas:
and it is believed by those who are best
informed on such subjects d. e. the Re-
publicans) that he is league with the
British Government to prevent the build
ing OF terry boats In the United States.
There is any amount of nonsense talked
about the course of the Postmaster Gen
eral, and if half of what the Republican
press say about him is true they have got
clear case, and we trust that for the sake
of common honesty, which the Repub-
leans prize SO highly when out of office, |
that some of those who know so much
about the wrong doings of Mr.. Villas will
bring the matter before Congress and
have his conduct fully investigated. If
hat 100000 subsidy business is ever in
vestigated, sure and certain it is that the
Postmaster-General will nave nothing to
ear, but it is doubtful if those who en-
yineered the subsidy through will be
without fear and trembling In the mag
lanimity of their souls they will proba-
,ly prefer to let the matter drop.

THE TIMBER QUESTION.

A number OF our leading mining men
and business men have petitioned
the Secretary of the Interior in re-
latlon to the timber question. The
OBJECT OF the petition is a most worthy
one, but in some portions is not in the
best taste. We think it would have been
the better policy to have waited until the
Department of the Interior promulgated
some new rules in regard to the cutting
oil timber upon the public lands before
petltionlng the Secretary upon the SUBJ
lect Those rules when promulgated NAV
be such as the petitioners themselves
would frame were the matter left to them.
1t was in very bad taste, and poor argu-
ment to use in a good cause, for the pc
tltloners, in speaking of the harshness
OF the timber laws and the inius-
tice they worked on the people, to saw:

The italics in the above are our own IF
such has been the practice of the Interior
department to avoid enforcing bad and
lmpolitic law, then the Interior Depart-
ment has been permitting its agents to
take fees to which neither it nor its agents
had any right; in other words. the Interior
department has been sanctioning and en-
couraging corruption and stealing. and
that is bad method by which to get

TOO GOOD FOR CALIFORNIA

The Brooklyn Eagle thinks the hand
some endowment of Governor Stanford
for university too good for California.
Irue, California as yet has no great popu-
lation, nor has her educational system
reached so high standa I'd that she alone
can supply full corps of students to a
university of the first order. 1t is the
merit OF true university that it is not
local or sectional, but is universal.
Ii the development of the Stanford
University shall be commensurate with
Its endowment, it will be not merely
great pride in California, but if
VIII be great pride throughout
America. Harvard is in Massachu-
setts, but every person in the
United States who has an interest in
higher education feels pride of country
to think America has Harvard. So if
is with the John Hopkins University, and
SO 1t will be with the Stanford Uniyer-
sity. A university to reach the greatest
heights in science and literature must be
situated where learning is general and
where the intellectual atmosphere is con- !
genial. OF all American cities, perhaps
Boston furnishes these conditions more !
pientifully than any other CITY. but she
owes her eminence in this respect to tbe
close proximity of Harvard. As the wears
roll by and the Stanford University de-
velops itself in accordance with I
what now seems its DESTINY. it
will give to California that con-
'ervatism and intellectual impulse which
characterize the spread of the highest
education. Imposing chapels and stately
nails do not make great university. but
q university has the intellectual great
less these things add to its grandeur. It
nay be expected that these things will
lave their place in the Stanford Uni
ersity, buff the plan OF the endowment
carried out, they will be but auxiliaries

DISESTABLISHNfENT.

Disestablishment has become the ques
ton OF the day in England, and upon thi
question the English are far more agi
tated and excited than on the Irish trou
BILE. Disestablishment has been a slum
berlng question for many years, and al
parties have feared to wake it lest the
consequences might be too terrible fol
them. When Parliament was prorogued
disestablish ment was not mooted ques
ton, and none can tell how it came to
take the lead. That disestablishment
will eventually come cannot be doubted,
and it will come before many years The
Church of England has had glori-
Gus history, and it has given to
the world many great men; but the
same thing may be said of the Church of
Rome, from whence came the Church of
England. Henry VIII. put himself in
the place of the Pope, and not to further
Professionalism, either. The forms of
England's Church are but the forms of
Rome modified, and its St. Peters is at
Canterbury instead of at Rome.
Among the reasons urged against dis
establishment are the close connection
between the history of England and the
history of its church; that the one is not
complete without the other; the culture
OF the clergy and their position in the
parishes. The clergy of the Church of
England have been among the most
highly cultured men of England, and they
have no doubt given much tone to the
social circles of their parishes. But are
all these reasons, which are really rea-
sons OF prestige, and antiquity, sufficient
to justify the continuation of the connec-
ton between the Church and State in
England? Among the poorer classes of
England no doubt the dissenting churches
have done as much work as the estab-
ished church, although the established
church draws to its folds the aristocracy
and wealth of England The established

SHOULD BE PREVENTED.

Railroads are rarely popular; and while
they are indispensable, still many have
most ignorant prejudice against them.
Railroads too often give just cause for
complaint, especially in the matter of
discrimination and cutting or raising of
rates without any notice to the public.
But these are not the things to which we
desire to call attention to-day When
railroad is sued for an injury to any per-
son, no matter how careless such person
may have been nor how careful and eau
tious the railroad, such person if he sues
for damages will almost invariably get
verdict, if for no other reason than the
simple fact that his suit is against rail-
road. This fact is not new, for so long
ago as 1850, Fennimore Cooper
noted the same disposition among the
people, and speaks of it in his "Ways OF
the Hour" Railroads too frequently de-
pend upon the rule OF law that where
man contributes to his own injury he
cannot recover. That is a very good rule. |
but it does not exempt railroads from |
care and caution. The facts which we
have mentioned are known to all, and |
require no demonstration But railroads |
have rights as well as liabilities, and they |
are entitled to have their rights respected |
and protected the same as an individual.
We wish to mention a common trespass
upon the rights OF the railroads i'm this
city, and the same trespasses are COM
mitted upon the railroads in every town
in the Territory through which they
pass. The trespass consists in bows.
from ten to fifteen years OF age, catching
hold OF freight and passenger trains
as they run slowly into the depots, and
swinging themselves on to the cars. This
sight may be seen any day near the
depots of the Utah Central Railway and
the Denver & Rio Grande Railway. The
boys have no right upon these trains, and
while they commit a trespass> upon the
railroads, they also endanger their own
lives City ordinances compel the rail-
roads to slow their trains to certain
number OF miles per hour when passing
through the city, and this is proper and c
for the protection of the public. Now, {
why does not the city enact an ordi- I
nance Furnishing severely the bows
who trespass on the railroads L
n the manner above mentioned? L
Ii one of those boys should s
ever get injured while hanging on a

uch boy would sue the railroad upon q

o, and the sooner some of these street CT
Arabs are taught a lesson and made an Il

and then make an assignment. The securities
were secured before the assignment, and then wit
