THE STANFORD ENDOWMENT.

kI RS. STANFORD'S gift to the university
| l founded in memory of her son is undoubtedly
the most munificent act of liberality in Ameri-
can history 1t has no equal in any land except that
recently made by the will OF the late Baroness de
Hrsch, and In history will be even more notable
than that for the Hirsch millions be scattered
far and wide and will have great name anywhere,
while those of Mrs. Stanford will be centered in an
institution destined to become one OF the most re-
nowned seats of learning earth.
1t is well known that for some time past the growth
and development OF Stanford University have been
seriously retarded by lack of means to provide for
them The vast fortune now placed at the disposal of
the president and trustees will enable them to enter
once upon every important work the university
quires. New buildings in process of construction,
equipments be obtained, the faculty enlarged
and the whole institution animated to increased
activity in all its departments
SO marked will be the change produced in the af-
fairs OF the university by the gift that something like
new departure in its history will be dated from this
ume. We are to have the satisfaction OF watch
ing the development of Greater Stanford" and
from what has been accomplished in the past ample
assurances given that the results OF the future will
be notable for successes in many ways
The munihCent gift is the interesting because
it comedies in point OF time with the movement now
unQer way 10 DulQ up GTedler OnlVerSlty OF Cdll-
ornia," The magnificent plans outlined by the Re
gents of the State University and generously sup
ported by Mrs Hearst hardly surpass those actually
undertaken and now we'll advanced at Stanford. We
are, therefore, in the future, to have in California
the two most beautiful and most stately university
seats in America if not in the world Nor will their
emnence be dependent upon their architecture and
equipments only 1t cannot be doubted that they will
attract the gifted teachers in all departments of
learning, and from them will radiate intellectual
light even more luminous than that which in times
past has proceeded from Harvard and Yale and made
New England the center OF American culture.
Mrs Stanford has followed the example OF her
husband and bestowed her gift during her lifetime,
instead OF waiting leave it by will after her death
In doing so she has acted not only wisely but with a
true liberaty of soul The people OF California owe
her much and the debt will increase from generation
to generation
The San Francisco call., 1899-06-04

to the public. This usurped extension of its legiti-
mate functions it has deliberately adopted, with the
same indurated disregard for law it manifested in
the exactions thrust before the people through its
special agents in the Board of Supervisors.
Near Chicago in the State of Illinois, the Pullman
Palace Car Company, for the exclusive accommoda-
ton OF its employees, built town OF two thou
sand houses Within few months, under quo war
ranto proceedings, the Supreme Court Of that State
has withdrawn the legal foundation from that private
municipality, because, Notwithstanding the plausible
reasons assigned by the company for its assertion Of
the right to house, feed, clothe and its SER
wants at their expense, the authority for the
claim did not exist in its charter The opinion OF the
court published in volume rs OF the Illinois Reports,
pages I27-I65, is solid in every line, and emphati-
cally declares that the Pullman Company could not
incidentally monopolize receipts and profits that be-
longed to the people.
little Of this drastic treatment extended to the
State and municipal despotism of Mr.. Huntington
would probably induce him to concentrate his atten
ton upon the preservation of what he has and to
lleve our citizens from the need OF constant watchfu
ness over such public rights and property as have
not been already appropriated.
The San Francisco call., 1899-06-04

Roses really smell like skunks;
Women are fools and men are drunks."
And then he shriveled up and died.
He'll laughed, but all the angels cried.
There was a maid just like a flower,
Who sang glad songs each passing hour.
"Oh, what a glorious world is this,
Where all is love, and love is bliss;
Not one soul butts really true;
All do the best they know to do!
Then hell to heaven quickly sprang,
And devils and angels together sang.
The audacities of those verses are
many. In the first place even the poet
who described a woman as "a rag and
a bone and a hank of hair" would
hardly venture to use such words as
"drunks" and "skunks" in serious
verse, and the assertion, the angels
cried" is bad enough to make the an
gels weep; but the crowning audacity
of the whole, and that which gives it
the glow of something like an inspira-
ton of true genius, is the declaration
that the song of a girl who had just
discovered that love is bliss caused all
hell to rise and join heaven in a grand
song and dance of jubiIatiOn.
Truly there is much merit in the
verses. Danton has told us ''audacity,
audacity and always audacity' is the
essential element of eloquence in ora
tory: and why is it not equally so in
verse? One thing is certain: If the
anonymous writer of that rough and
ready rhapsody have many more such
happy audacities to fling in the face of
critics and sing into the hearts of low
ers, California will awake some fine day
to the knowledge that she has anotheS
poet.
Men who think that women pay no
attention to practical politics and can
never accurately size up dignitaries are
sometimes overtaken by a surprise
party of small dimensions, but very in
tense in it's suddenness. Two such men
were talking the other day about Gov
ernor Gage. What think you of him?"
said one; ''is he broad gauge or narrow
gauge?" DECIDEDLY narrow gauge,
answered the other. Then a woman
spoke up, and her voice was as musical
as the trilling of a linnet. He is
neither a broad gauge nor a narrow
gauge" she warbled; "he is a slit in
cable track"

OPPORTUNITIES FOR LAW OFFICERS.

q Ii other appropriations OF illegal authority,
! by direct and indirect usurpation, have been
dwarfed by the intricate records OF the
Huntington monopoly. And the history OF the
Market Street Railway Company is another
pregnant example OF the illegal and in
furious assumption and extension OF chartered
rights That monopoly, which consolidated eleven
street railway companies, which has since acquired
ether properties and which has just raudulently
sought to steal what there left OF local streets
and easements, filed its certificate of incorporation
October 49, 1893 Its watering OF stock and its issue
OF bonds are not pertinent to this discussion But,
by the enumeration OF powers its certificate, it was
limited the acquisition and operation OF street
railways in San Francisco and in the county of San
Mateo. In various ways and with utter disregard OF
legal disabilities it has usurped privileges to which
il had no more claim than to the running OF steam
ship lines to the Philippines
One illustration will serve our purpose: Its adj
vertising business alone, its entire network Of
railway lines, is so extensive that it must net an
enormous yearly profit Without even the pretense
OF legality it compees not merely with the press but
with every other recognized mode OF attracting bust
ness. Its advertising booths requiring the
services OF special agency, and it carries bands on
some of our principal streets musical solicitations
