LELAND STANFORD, the rich Cali
fornia Senator who has just died,
is thought to have left sn estate OF
35 million dollars, not otwithstand-
ing his gifts amounting to about
twenty millions to the University
he founded in his state. He had
no children, bat left widow who
is probably now the richest woman
in the world. It is surmised how
ever that he bequeathed much to
charities and public uses.
It is said that he spent about
sixty thousand dollars a year al
Washington, Of which considera'
BILE part was given in charities.
The basis of his fortune, we be-
lieve, was the land grants made by

The Atlanta Constitution has just
celebrated its twenty fifth birthday
by issuing an edition Of unusual
size and unusual interest. In COM
menting on the growth of the Gate
City, which has kept pace with the
expansion of the Constitution itself,
our esteemed contemporary re-
marks
"The first number of the Consti-
tuition, issued twenty-five years
ago, found less than $4,000 people
in Atlanta and her suburbs, and
only four railways then accommo-
dated our travel and traffic. Ou,
anniversary issue today finds 1885,
600 people in the city and suburbs
and eleven railways leading out Of
this great transportation center will
carry it to it's distant subscribers
How ls this for a chapter of pro
gress ?"
Indeed, no other city at th'
South can boast such a substanti
growth as Atlanta, and the Consti
tuition has contributed it's due shar'
to bringing it about. We felicitat
our contemporary.

TIE sudden sinking of the battle
ship Victoria as a result of an acci-
dent, while the British fleet was
manouvring, and engulping nearly
three hundred trained seamen al
most without warning, will proba-
bly, direct attention to the danger
which vessels of that build are
liable to. They have SO much iron
and steel above deck that if once
they careen it is with difficulty that
they can be righted. The Victoria
it appears turned completely over.
We are no advocates for vessels OF
that build. The are floating forti
fcations and not war ships We
greatly prefer cruisers like those
which the United States have lately
equipped.

who we assume was descendant
of Gov. Tryon of this province be-

work was in progress. A corps of
physicians from the two towns was
quartered at Perry, two miles dis

the dead and dying from the prairie
and laying them out in large
building provided for that purpose.
1t was one o'clock in the afternoon

The youngest child is without its

the children was found three miles
from the house.
At Arthur Evans farm, quarter

found dead three rods from the

KANSAS tries to exceed all of crea-
tion in intemperance. Her people
are cranky and are now mostly
Third party folks. Sometimes her
crops are phenomenally large in
one.half Of the State, while in the
other half the people are starving.
At times hot winds blast the unripe
corn in some fields while rain de-
luges counties not far distant. Her
latest achievement was the terrible
tornado on Wednesday night. In
a scope of country half mile wide
and six miles long, the fatal cyclone
left no house or tree in its path.
Twenty five persons were killed and
the force of the wind was so terrific
that in many cases their limbs were
torn from their bodies. Several
hundred head of cattle were killed
The fary of the wind was beyond
description. Kansas is indeed 6
place where violent disturbances
occur.

The papers have been making
unpleasant comments on Speaker
Crisp's failure to reply to The
Times enquiry as to his position on
the silver Act. It was not only Mr..
Cfisp's privilege to refrain from ex-
pressing his opinion, but in view OF
his candidacy for the Speakers
chair, it was wise in him to preserve
silence at least until he could
elaborate his position. This oppor-
tunity will probably be presented
on July 4th, when Mr.. Crisp is tc

But it may be that even then he
will not deem it expedient to ex-

islation from which they have sui
fered, they will not permit them
selves to be used for the purpose
aimed at in this new crusade, for to |
do 80 would be to sacrifice upon the
altar of fanaticism their patriotism
and common sense. They have never
embraced the paternalism involved
in a high protective tariff, because
many understand that it operates to
their hurt and all are under the IN
auence of the traditional hostility
to it which has always prevailed in
the South. It is to be earnestly
hoped that many thousands more
Of them will abandon the other pa
ternal and socialist heresies, to
which they have committed them
selves in the hope of redressing
grievances, which unquestionably
exist, but which cannot be redressed
by such means.
But whether they shall hereafter
abandon these heresies or not, the
fact is that socialism in various
forms is widespread in the United
States, and it behooves the young
who are shout to assume the rights
and duties of citizenship to equip
themselves with knowledge of the
complex government under which
they live, in order that those rights
may be more clearly understood
and those duties may be faithfully
performed. It behooves US to fully
know that the safeguards of indi-
vidual liberty which we Inherited
from cur English ancestors, and
which our forefathers were careful
to preserve in written constitutions,
will inevitably be imperilied if pa
ternalism is encouraged, and tina:
the sort Of socialism prevalent in
this country, if carried to its logical
consequences, meane, eventually
anarchy.
If the ideal of the loftier school
Of Socialists, as known in England
and Germany, could be attained, the
result would be very near akin TO the
Christian Commonwealth, e pure
Democracy; but that is a dream
which, if realized among men, ii
ages ahead of us. Our business il
with the present, and the socialism
{ of the present in our country is ini
mical to religion, and tends to The
subversion of free institutions.
How is it to be met? By the cul
tivation of spirit of justice, and
moderation, and forebearanee; snt
r obedience to law-by keeping gov
ernment within the limits which
our wise forefathers prescribed fo
it, and by preserving, with unfalter

cholera. A year ago the whole
country was alarmed lest that fell
disease which had made it's way to
the west coast of Europe should
cross the Atlantic and find a lodge
ment here, but thanks to natural
causes or remedial agents or wise
sanitary measures, the dreaded epi-
demic now makes no noise in the

rope, we trust that the sleeping
lion will not be aroused, but
we prefer to believe that in.

stamped out, and before it can in.
wade this country it must make q
fresh start from its lair in the fa1
East. If this be so, then our safety
should be ascribed to the SANITARY

authorities, and we should give the
credit to what may be called pre-
ventive medicine. It is said tina
the fright which the presence of tn,
disease creates is even more fata

Lost in the Woods.

1t Is a curious fact, writes a corre-
spondent, that man lost in the
woods will refuse to trust his compass
if it points contrary to his notion.
Not many winters ago man was
found frozen stiff, sitting on log and
holding in his hand the remains Of
his compass which he had picked to
pieces. He thought something must
be wrong with it, and had enGeavored
to set it right. Another curious hal
lucination which besets those lost in
the woods is that of water apparently
running up hill. Streams persist In
seeming to flow contrary to the laws
of gravitation and the sensation is a
most depressing one. Apropos of this
an old traveller in the woods told me
of the experience he once had. AS
nearly as | can remember his words il
ran as follows:
While on my way from one noun
tain to another l became lost in the
woods at night with a couple OF
guides, and in order to find my way
out decided to head for a certain
stream whose whereabouts | knew
so / got out my map and by the din
! light of the lanterns, with which each
man was provided, ascertained the
direction which it was necessary tt
take. Then, lining up the two guides
with the lanterns and falling in be.
hind. | kept the right direction by

moss knee-deep we went, never swerv

our direction for an instant, but
Scrambling over obstacles of all kinds
and were finally rewarded by the
sound Of running water, and soor
came out upon the bank.
Then came the strange part of the
experience. In order to make assur.
ance doubly sure, | waded out int
the stream to see which way i
flowed. Holding my lantern close
down to the black water, examined
it closely. For a moment | was un
able TO tell which way it flowed, anC
then in flash / saw it was running
the wrong way! / knew there was n,
other brook round about, and | knew
perfectly well which way this on
should flow, and | returned to tn
bank feeling decidedly uncomfort
able.
I said nothing to the guides, ant
we turned in for the night. In tn
morning there it was in plain day
