THE CASE OF DR.. ROSS.

In virtually dismissing Professor
E. A. Ross from it's faculty, Stand
ford University has forfeited the
respect of the State, and the educa-
tional world. DR.. Ross is the re
verse of an agitator. He is "a Sc
verely scientific man. AS such, and
as professor of sociology, he is nee
essarily a student of social condi-
tions and of the causes which make
the struggle of life so very hard for
some men. It is not to his discredit
that his sympathies are with the
masses rather than with the success
full few, and it is greatly to his credit
that he does not permit his sympa-
thy to run away with his Judgment.
If there was u tenth part of the
unity of feeling among educational
men that exists among the carpen-
tiers of the city, there would not re-
main a trustee, or a professor or a
student in Stanford university. We
need universities, but not such uni
versities as this. What we need
most of all is men. And DR.. Ross is
a man.-San Francisco Chronicle.

THE SWISS ELECTIONS.

By a majority of seyenty-ive thou
sand in u total of four hundred thou
sand, and by eleven and a half can
tons versus ten and a half the Swiss
have rejected the principle Of pro
portional representation as applied
to the election of their National
Council or House of representatives.
The vote seems the stranger when
we recall the fact that in the can
tons proportional representation al
ready exists. The reasons of it's re-
lection as applied to Federal legisla-
ton were the great influence used
by those whose seats in the National
Council would be in danger, and also
the desire of each locality to retain
distinct representation. The victory
is due to the preponderance of the
country vote over the city vote-for
instance, the city and canton of
Geneva voted for the reform. While
the sessions of the Swiss. legislature
will lack the variety which would
characterize the meeting of all par
ties, the friends of that particular
electoral reform known as proper
tional representation are not dis
%couraged. It's principle IS at once
just and emancipative. No one can
in the long run contest a movement
emphatically in the interests of
truth.-New York Outlook.

a curfew ordinance in order to keep
boys off the streets late at night. It
is probable that this question may
come before the board of aldermen
in the form of a petition after the
holidays are over. Nearly every
night there are a large number of
boys in the streets until long after
they should be in bed. 1t is claimed
that they learn bad habits and that
the only way they can be reached is
for the aldermen to pass a curfew

SPARKS FROM THE WIRES.

Evangelist Sam Small, who was
jailed for contempt of court in Ha-
vana, has been released.
President Diaz last week took the
oath of Office asPresident of the Mexi-
can Republic for the next four years.
Woman suffrage in Colorado,
Wyoming, Utah, and Idaho may not
have changed results materially in
the recent election, but more women
voted than upon any former occa-
sion, giving larger totals in the
count, says the Democrat and Chron-
icle. In Wyoming the women
brought about the Overwhelming de
feat of the Democratic candidate for
Congress, who had been so unwise as
to cast slurs upon the women. This
bright candidate said that the wo-
man vote was the easiest to get, the
easiest to keep and the easiest to
manipulate. By that brilliant OBJ
servatiOn he managed to manipulate
the woman vote so that his Repub-
lican opponent ran 800 ahead of the
electoral ticket. In Utah the women
who voted are credited with a good
part of the work Of reversing Bryan's
plurality of 1895. The woman Of
Utah who attended the Kansas City
convention and afterward ran for
the Utah legislature was defeated at
the polls. In Colorado the vote of
women reached SO, 943, whereas only
46, 270 votes were recorded in 1896.
But Colorado went for Bryan by a
reduced plurality.
President Mckinley says:
The election records the unques-
toned Endorsement of the gold
standard, Industrial independence,
broader markets., commercial expan-
sion, reciprocal trade, the open door
in China, the inviolability of public
faith, the independence and author
ity of the Judiciary, and peace and
beneficent government under Amer
lean sovereignty in the Philippines,
American credit remains unimpaired,
and the obligations of a righteous
var and treaty of peace unrepu-
dated"

State Courts After Standard Oil Company
With a Sharp Stick.

LINCOLN, NEB., Dec. 5.-The Ne
braska Supreme Court tonight or
dered the Standard Oil Company to
produce it's books, papers and records
for the inspection Of the States at
torney. The latter is seeking to
have the company declared a trust
and to exclude it from doing business
in the State. The court has already
appointed referees to take testi-
mony, but the company refuses to
show its books. If this order is not
obeyed the company's officers will
be convicted of contempt and
brought here if the governors re-
QUESTION is honored. The company
objected to the Supreme Courts
jurisdiction, asserting it was a Grim
inal case and not a civil one This
contention the court denies in the
following language:
Foreign corporations do business
here, not by right, but by comfy,
and the State may at pleasure re-
woke the privilege which it has
granted such corporations. The
revocation of the privilege given
foreign corporations to do business
here is not the infection of a pen
atty"

appeared as one of the counsel for
the Standard Oil Company.

MAKING A CONSTITUTION.
Several Plans Have Been Submitted to the
Cuban Convention.


HAVANA, Dec. 4-The COnstitu-
tiOnal Convention re assembled to-
day. The first motion presented
was by Gualber to Gomez that a re.
ply be sent to Governor Woods
speech opening the convention. The
motion was made despite the fact
that the convention had previously
refused to accept it. It vas again
rejected today. The vote stood %
to 4. The delegates realized that to
adopt the motion in face of its pre-
vious rejection would stultify them
selves in the eyes of everybody.
Several complete plans for d con
stitution were presented. Senior
Ruis Rivera presented one constitut-
ing Cuba a free, independent and
sovereign republic.
Senior Morus submitted a project
modelled on the Constitution of the
United States.
Another plan was presented by
Senior Quesada. This provides for
the election of a president by the
popular vote. The suffrage is re
stricted to those, who can read and
write.
All these projects will be immedi-
ately printed, and the several sec
tions of the convention will proceed
to study them.

with excitement over the financial

who has been making such reckless
pIunpes into society and political life
with the Gould millions, brought him
by his wife from America. Announce
ment is made that CaStellane is enOr-
mOusly involved on the bOurse by
stock speculation and has lost every
thing. This Wa followed by the dis
cOyerv that CaStellane and his wife
sailed secretly last Saturday for New
York. The first reports that Count
Boni had lost 100000 rOse to 81 $780,
900. while there are many reports that
the total loss is $4,000. 900. His impe-
curiosity has been the gossip of the
bOulevardS. clubs and cafes for many
months. His So-called bills Of honor
have been left unpaid, sc much so that
his fashionable friends have cut him
and the ~aristocracy have declined to
receive the CaStellanes for months. It
is generally believed in Paris that the
object OF the visit to New York is to
raise money to tide over the present
difficulties. Creditors are not alarmed.
