Gov. Higgins Reminds Him That II Is His
Duty to Enforce the Raines Law.
ALBANY, June 3O.-Cov. Higgins to-day
read Sheriff William Dewey Of Rockland
county lesson on his duty with reference
to violations of the excise law. There
had been filed with the Governor a COM
plant alleging that people had been going
by the carload every Sunday to Rookland
Lake. where liquor was sold to them openly
in violation OF the law and that riotous
performances were the rule, to the injury
of people living in that part OF the county.
The Governor forwarded the complaint
to Sheriff Dewey. who replied that he would
look after the matter Immediately. but that
he could not find any evidences Of riots or
unusual disturbances other than that
drunken men we're accustomed to 60 to
and from the grove, the resort at Rookland
Lake. He said he supposed 1t was the duty
the excise law was not violated, at least
that it was more in the province OF that
department than 1t was his duty.
This peculiar view gave the opportunity
to the Governor to send the Sheriff another
letter. which reads as follows:
DEAR SIR: | am in receipt Of your report
information as to alleged violations Of. the
nbsed gou for yor pro@p reply
! take this opportunity TO correct an i'm.
precision which YOU have formed, as stated
in your report. that violations of the luucr
tax law are more directly under the charTe
of the State Excise Department. You are
the chief executive officer of your county.
and as such are responsible for tho proper
enforcement of the law. 1t is your dn'"
10 prevent vic lations OF the liquor tax law:
as 1t Ia your duty tn prevent any breach or
the peace or other act of disorder in your
county. The existence of a State Excise
Department in no way lessons your rcspon-
sibility in this regard.
Trusting that this suggestion nav lead
you to act vigilantly in reference To The I'M
awful sale OF liquor remain. yours truly.

In an article In the current number Of the
Proceedings Of the Naval Institute, Lieut.
Commander JOHN HOOP has a most inter-
esting article on assertions from the navy.
He points out what many lay observers OF
naval affairs have suspected, that prime
cause of desertion is the enlist ment in the
grades OF coal passer. landsman, fireman
and messman Of men having no experience
in seafaring life Many Of these find the
work and discipline irksome, and as there
is among them the normal percentage of
vicious and weak characters, desertion,
which Is extremely easy and never ade-
quately punished, ensues Nevertheless,
the number Of assertions in 1904 was not
more than 1873 per cent. of the enlisted
force, and it was composed chiefly Of men
of whom the navy was well rid.

In front OF the Stock ESchange there was a
fine hullahaloo. The rubb ernecker was
smoking aft. and there wasan occasional
vicious zip and whiz that made the crowd
edge backward. Broad street from the
Sub-Treasury to the roped in curb traders

At that moment the traffic cops left the

A Splendid Benefaction.

The gift of one million dollars to the
endowment fund of Yale University by
Mr.. JOHN DAWSON ROCKEFELLER, an
nounced on Wednesday, was followed
yesterday by the gift by him of ten mil
lions of dollars ito promote compre-
hensive system Of higher education in
the United States and especially in
colleges as distinguished from the great
universities. Moreover. it is announced
that IF the fund proves as useful as is
now anticipated Mr.. RocKEFELLER will
undoubtedly make large additions to it
in future years.
Mr. ROCKEFELLER therefore has made
himself the most munficent contributor
for the higher education in the history
of mankind. Mr.. CARNEGIE's pension
fund of ten millions for the benefit of
retired college professors was given for
practically the same purpose; but his
gifts for public Libraries, so great in the
aggregate, serve rather the ends of popu-
lar instruction specifically. MIR. ROCHE
FELLER's contributions, apart from those
which were for distinctively religious
purposes, have been for college and uni
vcrsity education almost wholly. His
theory seems to be that the best and
truest benefit that can be bestowed on
society is to provide for it teachers COM
petent to lead it by reason of their SUI
perior education. By teaching the teach
ers he would teach the public.
His gifts to the Chicago University
especially had already aggregated ten
millions of dollars before his contribu-
ton of million to Yale, and, yesterday,
of ten millions to the General Education
Board, to which body he had given a
million at the time of its organization two
years ago, Besides these the aggregate
of his gifts to colleges is large.
Ten millions of dollars is large en-
dowment. but relatively to the demands
which will be made by American colleges
it will yield an income which will seem
small. Consequently there is good reason
to assume that the large additions in
future years" will be required
The more or less silly discussion about
tainted money" which has been going
on does not alter the splendid fact that
JOHN DAWSON ROCKEFELLER is the most
munifcent contributor for the spread of
the higher education in the history of
mankind.

Transyaal Gold,

s While the United States busies itself
discussing the most effective means Of
excluding the surplus laborers of China
the Transvaal is experimenting with
their admission on a somewhat extensive
scale. More than 10000 have been
5 brought into that country during the
last year, under contract, to enable the
mine owners of the Witwatersrand to
drag more gold from their mines than
they could get if restricted to the employ
ment of the native Kaffir labor
Those who read and believe South
Africa will be convinced that the expert
ment has been an almost unqualified
success Those who follow the London
Spectator will perhaps entertain meas
ure of doubt. But the fact stands that
\ there has been notable increase in out
(put OF gold from these mines, and also
THAT the value of the output is now about
what it was during the months imme-
diately preceding the Boer war, when
the maximum yield was reached. 1t is
. also true that the total yield of gold
for 1904 slightly exceeded that of any
other year in the history of the mines,
! although it was somewhat less than the
Z yield of 1899 would have been had it not

Twas valued at approximately $4,000, 900.
During that time the average number OF
