Railroads Fear a Car Famine.

New YORK. June 1O.-A car famine
of unusual proportions is expected
when the big grain crop begins to
move. Agents of railroads centering
here say they do not see how it can be
avoided, since the crops are unusually
heavy and the demand for export will
be exceptionally large owing to the
shortage abroad.

ing to the fact that there are 40 many
candidates for the speaxership. There
is not the slightest possibility OF such u
deadlock. The democratic caucus will
speedily decide between the four or five
candidates OF that party, in accordance
with long established precedent, and
the mar the caucus selects will be elect
ed Immediately. The talk OF the Farm
ers' alliance contingent embarrassing the
organization Of the house is moonshine.
That party has only nineteen memhers
of the house all told, and If all OF them
should stand out, or act with the repub-
licans, the democrats would still have a
big majority. There are 225 straight
democrats in the house and 16I mem
bers constitute a majority of that body.
1t would take fifty eight boiling demo
Gratis to defeat the action OF their party
caucus. No sane man believes that
many democrats would withdraw from
the organization of their party for any
purpose whatsoever.

SHOULD bi-chloride of gold come into

nice legal questions probably would be-
raised. Police magistrates now sentence
men to close confinement, or hard labor,
to break them of the liquor habit, but
would the courts have a right to ami
|hilate q mans appetite, once for all, by
sentencing him TO undergo the BIZ
chloride treatment? Or would the VIC
tim have a right to protest hat his APP
petite was his own and he had a right
TO take it away with him unimpaired
after the expiration Of his sentence?
And the fellows who drink to drown
their sorrows and forget their cares,
could they be sentenced to a treatment
that would clear the cobwebs from their
brains and put them in "a condition
where they would feel all the burdens

sory vaccination and school attendance

The lukewarmness OF a large part OF
the press Of California toward the great
university that Leland Stanford has
founded, with the greatest endowment
over given to an educational institution,
is a curious exhibition of %littleness.
While the multiplicity of small colleges,
with inadequate equipment, is a thing
to be regretted, the multiplication Of
great universities, with ample endow-
ment, cannot be objected to on any valid
grounds. As Senator Stanford SAID in
his speech at the opening of the univer-
sity at Palo Alto the other day, there
cannot be such a thing as too much ed
ucation. There is a place for the Stan
ford university, even in California, where
a state university is already in exist
ence. Before the echoes of newspaper
criticism have died away m the, an
nouncement that the state institution
has opened it's doors for the new year
with nearly one thousand students and
the largest freshman class ever known
in its history. At the same time the
Stanford university, only fifty miles dis
tant, begins its career with over four
hundred students. 1t is a safe predic-
ton that both Of California's universe
ties will be benefited by the impetus
given to learning by Stanford's gift OF
S20,0O0,O00 to the cause of education.
The creation of great universities in
America has upset all the traditions.
Those who contend that historic associ-
atoms and ivy-grown walls are necessary
to the true university are confronted by
the fact that the greatest university in
this country to-day, Johns Hopkins, is
only fifteen years old, while Cornell, an
other young giant. is but a few years it's
senior. These two institutions have
re~volutionized Harvard and Yale and
Princeton by their influence, and ele-
waited the standards Of colleges every
where. Both were very vigorously as
sailed when they were founded and the
same cry went up that has greeted SEN
ator Stanford's ears, that the money
spent on new schools should have been
given to old institutions. But the best
thing that ever happened TO the old col
leges was the founding of new ones like
those we have named. The time for
starting poor and feeble colleges in this
country has passed, but there is always
room for rich ones and there cannot be
many of them.

The Buffalo Commercial has discov-
cred a fatal objection to Roswell p.
Flowers election as governor of New
York. He has never served a day in
the state legislature, it says. There was
once a citizen Of Buffalo, of the name of
Grover Cleveland, who had never served
a day in the state legislature either. He
was elected governor of the state, how
ever, and the way he probed into legis-
latlve corruption and vetoed jobs will
not be forgotten in that state for many
q year. AS the New York legislature
has been constituted in recent years, it is
probably fortunate for Mr.. Flowers rep
utation that he has not served in that
body. His opponent finds a legislative
record a mighty hard thing to ex-
plain and make %presentable to the vot-
ers of the state.

PARNELL's death did not come soon
enough for his fame, but it will be the
popular verdict that it occurred oppor-
tunely for Ireland, whose cause was re-
tarded in these latter days by his un-
wise attempt 10 maintain a leadership
that so many, even of his countrymen,
thought he had justly forfeited. His
tory will accord him high place for the
ability, persistency and courage with
which he battled for the rights Of a peo-
pie. Neither social scandal nor personal
shortcomings will detract from his re-
markable merits as a patriotic political
leader who performed great service to
mankind. But he had ceased to be a
hero, his usefulness vas past, and it is
mot unkind to say that in his death new
and greater opportunity is opened for
the people whom he loved and served.

REPUBLICAN organs that are singing
paans of triumph over tho reduction of
duty, and consequent cheapening of
cost, on sugar, should hold a caucus
with the organs that insist that the
Mckinley bill does not increase prices

to agree upon some plausible PROPOSE
