BOSTON, June President Jordan
of Stanford University in an interview
here made an announcement which is
calculated to create sensation in ed
ucational circles throughout the coun-
try.
The statement In effect was that,
when the debts of Mrs. Stanford are
paid, the estate Will yield an invested
endowment of S30,000,000. This sum
by far outranks i'm size the endowments
of any of the leading American uniyer-
stiles, being in fact the largest i'm the
world.
1t is easily twice the size of Har-
wards endowment and three times
that of any lesser institution in the
educational world. While an endow
ment of unusual magnitude was ex-
pected subsequent TO Mrs. Stanford s
death, the size of the bequest is start
ling That such a sum has resulted
from Mrs. Stanford's investments is in
itself ftacit tribute to her business

A Tariff on Coffee.

In the Herald yesterday our Wash
ington correspondent, than whom
there is no better informed parsonage
among newspaper men at the National
Capitol, tells the startling news that
the Republican majority in the next
Congress proposes to put tariff on
coffee, and to increase tie price of this
staple several cents per pound.
The excuse given by the powers that
be for this action is that the treasury
needs the revenue to cover its deficit.
This reminds us forcibly that last au-
tumn, when the presidency hung in
the balance, Mr.. Secretary of the
Treasury Shaw travelled throughout
the country while drawing a salary
from the people, telling everybody
that the treasury was full to overflow
ing, and that the current story about
its depletion was a democratic false
hood. Now this same individual needs
tariff tax on coffee, an article used by
nearly every family in the countryi in
order to give him enough money to
pay uncle Sans bills.
The reason for any such action as
this is difficult to fathom. When the
price Of coffee goes mp, which it will
most assuredly do if a tariff is put on,
we presume we shall still be told that
the foreigner pays the. tariff. Per-
haps our friends the protectionists
will then give us the names of the par
ticular foreigners who will be paying
the tax, when every man in the country
IL contributing of his income to pay
the additional price onNa necessity Of
life.
II the treasury really needs the
money, why does it need it so more
now than it did six months ago, just
before presidential election? Ifthere
must be increased tariff income, why
not levy it upon articles which are
manufactured at home, and thus carry
out the pet republican policy of pro-
lection to home industrses? Is it not
because every article which will stand
tariff at all is all eady taxed to the
Init, and there remain no more to be
taxed? Why not increase rates on ar
ticles already taxed Is it not be-
cause that would decrease instead OF
increase revenue? Everybody knows
it to be fact that the higher tariff
the smaller the revenue the govern.
ment receives, for high tariff shuts
ont foreign made goods and there is
n ,thing upon which to pay a tariff tax
Why not reduce the tariff on articles
manufactured by industries which are
no longer infants, but which have be
come full grown and are mightier thar
the people who nourished them in til,
national bosom? A reasonable reduc
tion on some necessary articles of com
merce would mean a great increase il
tariff revenue. But such reduction
wonld meet with opposition from the
trusts which are at present engaged il
running the country, and will never
be made by the republican majority.
