SYMPATHY FOR MRS. STANFORD.

A great deal of rank rot has appeared
in the Republican press of late in the
shape of sympathetic expressions for the
poverty stricken Mrs. Stanford, of Cali
fornia, growing out of tho governments
suit against the estate of her late hus-
band, Senator Leland Stanford. 1t has
been represented that the widow would
have to pawn her diamonds to keep the
Stanford university afoat if this suit
were not dismissed, and she might even
have to sell the prize racing stables at
Palo Alto ranch. Of course, the Republl-
can press feels very sorry that the late
senator got caught in filching $15,0OO,OOO
of the American tax payers money, but
it appears that the facts do not justify
their solicitude for Mrs. Stanford's
financial condition and the future of the
university.
If the government wins the suit it will
in no manner interfere with the BEG uest
of Stanford to the university, and accord
ing to the inventory Mrs. Stanford will
still have an estate of from $5,0OO,0OO to
$6,OOOOOO Stanford's bequest to the
university was $2,5OO,ooO, while the estate
was appraised, aside from that bequest,
at $22,OOO,0OO, and if the government
wins the suit of $4,000, 900 Mrs. Stanford
will have 100000 remaining, which is
right nice sort of pile to have in the
family, particularly under all the circum-
stances involved.

THE Optic is unquestionably correct
in its contention that the study of Eng

cal application of the rules thereof to the
speaking and writing of accurate Eng

A Job in 1t.

Some newspapers and politicians have
commenced agitation for short campaign
in 1896. From our point of view we regard
the short campaign, when national Issues
are at stake, as dangerous to the public
interests. Ample time should be given
to allow all to come to conclusion both
as to the questions at issue and if the
record of the nominees is such as to give
a reasonable guarantee that he will act in
accordance with the declaration of their
platform.-Raton Reporter.

upon it as an omen Of direful disaster
1t is not unusual for descriptions of old
time battles to mention the fact that
The curious red northern lights gave
us warning that something awful was
about to happen. In the annals Of
Clan Mac Noise is to be found an &C.
count of II purple aurora, which lighted
up the northern skies i'll the year GSS
A. d. on the night preceding the dread
ful battle fought by the Irish tribes of
Leinster and Munster, and it is not nee
essary to mention the fact that the peo-
pie took it as an. omen Of the great
slaughter which soon followed.
In the year 1859 the people Of Amer
lea witnessed some of the grandest dis.
plays Of the auroral light that have ever
| been known in the history of the world.
During the month Of September, that
year, particularly upon the nights of the
I'd, Sd and Goth, brilliant auroras were
reported from nearly every point ON the
| American continent. Superstitious peo-
Pile like those of Ireland hundreds Of
years ago believe until this day that the
peculiar appearance of the sky upon the
nights mentioned was presage of the
| great conflict which was so soon 10 be
waged between the north and south.
The cause of the aurora has long been
a matter of speculation. NJ. de la Rive,
n Genoese scientist, who has long and
faithfully labored for the enlightenment
of humanity upon this subject, made an
interesting experiment in Finland in
the year 1882 and one which goes long
way toward proving that ''iitful aurora"
is phenomenon of electrical character.
The experiment is best described in
the language of the cXperimenter him

mountain with copper wire, pointed ut
intervals with tin nibs We next heavi-
ly charged the wire with electricity, and
afterward nearly every night during

and use in India. The body was
created on representations that the
traffic was not only demoralizing i'll
India, but extended a baneful in

of the opium used i'll China, where
by the way, it is contraband, comes
from India. A majority of the

was that opium was much less in

A NUMBER of business men and
very heavy property holders have
said to THE STAR they were in
favor of increasing the taxes. In
the opinion of others, however,
there should be no thought of this.
Taking it all in all, the tribute now
exacted from the citizen for support
of the State is fully as much as it
should be. Perhaps it would be
more correct to say that the rate is
sufficient. In some districts the as
sessments returned are flagrantly
light. As an economic or business
measure, increase Of the burdens is
not to be adviced. From the stand
point of politics, nothing worse
could be undertaken. No matter
what immediate or ultimate benefic-
ial results to all might accrue, the
cold damaging fact would remain
that the administration had in
creased the taxes.

THREE gunboats lately added to
the United States navy are destined
to become prominent in Oriental
affairs and perhaps to solve some
very vexatious problems. While
heavily armed and well-manned,
the Nashville, Wilmington and
Helena are OF light draft. Their
especial use will be the protection
of lives and properties of for
eigners in the Interior of China.
These gunboats will steam up
rivers on which no armed craft ex-
cept piratical junk has ever been
seen. They will quickly convey
forces to many points at which
there are likely to be disturbances
involving American interests.
These gunboats can also reach
points in United States territory
