Within an hours ride of Washington
there exists an institution which com
bines in its organization all those pur-
poses for the higher development OF
education which Mr.. Carnegie cOntem-
plates in his Washington gift We re-
fer to the Johns Hopkins University,
whose financial Gripping by the fail
ure of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
was a real calamity. 1t has large re-
covered from its misfortune, but we
have no doubt that if Mr. Carnegie
should give some of his millions to it
he would achieve more real results
in the direction of higher education
than through the Washington enter

This fortunate country is accus-
toned to receive the intelligence of
great gifts for charitable and eduCa-
tiOnal purposes with composure, but
the announcement of Mrs. Stanford S
bestowal of property valued at not far
from $50 600, 900 on the university in
California which was founded by her
husband in memory Of their only son,
and the forecast of Mr.. Carnegie's in
tentions respecting a school of ad-
Nanced instruction and research at the
national capital must excite wonder
and admiration even among the Amer
lean people. In other lands new eX-
pressiOns Of not ungenerous envy are
sure to be evoked by these unprece-
dented additions to a long list of i'm
mense private benefactions devoted to
the public service.-New York Tribune.
Senator Ttllman of South Carolina,
did not appear to advantage in his I'M
seemly wrangle with Senator McLau-
rim, and came very close to having his
own right to a seat in the Senate called
in question. This was more than he
probably expected, and Senator Hoar' S
calm analysis of his somewhat equivo-
cal position will be likely to cause him
to restrain as much as possible his
natural tendency to turbulence. While
ready to do any amount of ''bluffing'
we venture to indulge the belief that
the last thing he wants to do or would
do, if he could avoid it, is to tender
his resignation in such a way that the
Senate would have opportunity to ac-
cept it with the enthusiasm it would
be apt to display in such circum-
stances-New York Times.
The utter irrationality and injustice
of government grants to the "eXpOsi-
tions,' which no American municipal
family can do without, reach apparent
finality in the cases Of Charleston and
st. Louis. The hustling Western town
gets $1,000 900 and comes back for
81, 100000 more. The sJaid Southern city
starts without any government aid at
all, though $250,000 was promised, and
after the gates are open receives a
tardy $4,000 for the United States eX-
hibit. Yet St, Louis has no claims be-
yond those of Charleston, save superior
agility in reaching the treasury udder
and superior tenacity in holding it.
Both shows are local. Both states in
which they are held are Democratic.
The incident reveals the exposition
business in its true light as a mere
grab game in it's Federal relation
