Nobody knows how much money 10.
land Stanford was "worth." He gave
away many millions in his lifetime and
the assets Of his largo estate arc not
ea,ily computed. He carried through
grOat enterprises from which tho pub
lie has proAted. To tho university he
founded ho gave at least ~$20,OOO,0OO. lie
lOd an upright lilo aud atrovo to be Of
use In his day and generation.
The worth Of such a man Is not to be
measured by tho money ho leaves boz
hind. Another kind Of rich man
leaves his fortune because ho cannot
take It with him. From all that Is
known Of Senator Stanford We may DO
gurO that he had no regrets on this
score.

A Revenue Tariff with Southern Pro.
lection.

lection.
MI. Blanchard is u Democratic con.
gresham from Louisiana whose con-
stituents are largely interested in grow
ing sugar. This might be thought an
embarrassing situation for Mr.. Blanch-
ard. His party is interested in gloriiy.
ing a theory. His people are Interested
in making a living,
Mr.. Blanchard meets the case in this
way: The sugar bounty will DO re-
moved, but the government must have
revenue and a cen aud a half a pound
on sugar will yield $45,OOO.0OO a year
easier than the same amount can be
raised in any other way, land at the
same time an agricultural industry is
fostered and protected"
Fostor and protect a home industry
This is treason, rank treason, in the
Democratic camp. Mr.. Blanchard's OK
PLANTATION that revenue would be the
object, protection but the incident, is
thin. What he wants, the specific OBJ
iect he has in mind, is to satisfy the
people who send him to Congress, and
if the bounty on sugar is to BIO taken of
these people will demand q protective
duty on their product. Mr.. Blanchard
il confident that with such q rate OF
duty, "a reasonable duty and to be let
alone" we can raise all the sugar VIC
consume and become exporters o. sugar.
To produce sugar equal to our wants
tho present production would have to
be multiplied by at least six. 1t was
because there seemed mo prospect oil
reaching this point in tho early future
that the Republican party took off the
duty in the interests OF consumers and
gave the producers compensation in the
form OF q bounty, a perfectly logical,
fair and business-like arrangement.
The Democratic party will restore the
sugar duty, the consumer will have tc
pay that much more per pound for his
sugar, and VIC shall be as far off as evel
from tho day when wo may supply Oul
own wants from our own fields.
Mr.. Blanchard speaks OF the coming
sugar duty as a measure Of protection
but his party will not go at it in thil
light 1t is willing enough to protect
the Democratic sugar producers o
louisiana, for ii wants to hold them III
Democrats, but it will do the thing I'M
dor the guiso Of laying a rovenu duty
The rose may be called a pumpkin, bpt
it will smell as sweet to the sugar mer
OF Louisiana.
In every Democratic tariff bill the
rice interest has been taken care OF
rice being a Southern product. Nothing
that is distinctly Southern will bt
smashed out of c%ountenance by The
Democratic tariff bill. A revenue tariff
will be juggled to protect everything Of

Paid Toll on Her Pants.

1t seems that at New Brighton, Penn.
sylvania, they have a toll bridge that
is free to persons Of the female sex.
The toll taker has an easy way Of de.
termining whether it is a case OF toll or
no toll,
Here is a case in point, A visiting
woman dress reiOrmer was in New
Brighton %endeavoriRg to bring the
good women Of that town up to her
ideas on dress, Having occasion to
cross the bridge she was asked for toll.
Expressing her surprise the keeper re-
piled that he chad. orders to collect toll
from everything that wears pants,
from twelve years old mp" The dress
reformer wore pants and that settled it
She had to pay toll on her pants.
1t is impossible not to see in this ex'
alton Of toll a deliberate purpose on the
part OF the bridge company, or at least
OF its servant, to delay SO far as may be
the glorious day when all the women
! shall wear trousers, bob.tailed coats aud
plug hats, and tho men, despairing OF
maintaining in any other way a dis
tiuction of apparel, shall go abroad in
sweeping trains, tight laciug and low
heeled waists.
But it has been ever thus. Every
great reform ia obstructed by all the
article OF which wicked man is capable.

The Redwood Tree.

On the camping grounds Of the Bo-
hemian Club on Austin Creek, and in
the Armstrong tract near Guerneville,
one finds the lowland redwood in per
lection, In such places there are often
rings of great trees inclosing pits
Ave or six feet deep, and thirty, forty,
or even fifty feet in diameter. Each
of these pits is supposed to show
where the venerable ancestor of the
surrounding circle of trees once stood.
Long before it fell, innumerable
sprouts grew from the yet living roots.
Afterward, when the giant yielded,
the rains washed new soil into the
bottoms from the noun tain sides
to fill the deep chasm. For a century
or SO there was struggle among the
children of the fallen monarch, and at
last only seven or eight remained to
become great trees of twelve feet in
diameter, set on the rim of the pit
formed by the decay of the roots of
the ancient tree, and each having a
complete root system of its own.
Other trees, seedlings or sprouts,
grow up between them, and in few
more centuries the process OF forming
another redwood-tree ring will be re-
peated about the largest of the second
growth. Rings of this sort can be in
all stages Of formation in every canon
and valley of the redwood county.
Some very large rings still show the
broken edges of the central trees roots
protecting like the slaves of barrel
around the hollow, overgrown with
ferns and with wild oxalis, or filled to
the brim with fresh, spicy redwood
sprouts.
