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 "to promote a compre-
hensve 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 munificent 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. Mr. ROCHE
TELLER S contributions, apart from those
which were for distinctively religious
purposes, have been for college and uni
versity 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 a million to Yale, and, yesterday.
of ten millions to the General Education
Board, to which body he had given
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 a 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.

the question whether this discrimination

Neither does the fact that some Jews may be

the hotelkeeper the right to expel all persons
whose conduct renders them obnoxious: 1t
should make it a misdemeanor. punishable by
fine and Imprisonment. for him to refuse ac-

1t is the duty Of the State to exert every

in violation OF the law and that riotous
performances were the rule. to the injury
of people living in that part of the county.

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 were accustomed to go to

In an article in the current number Of the
Proceedings of the Naval Institute, Lieut.
Commander JOHN HooD 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 enlistment 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. deserton,
which ia extremely easy and never ade-
quately punished, ensues. Nevertheless,

While the United States busies itself
discussing the most effective means of
excluding the surplus laborcrs of China
the Transvaal is experimenting with
their admission on somewhat extensive
scale. More than 10000 have been
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
Inent OF the native kaiiir 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 a meas
ure Of doubt. But the fact stands that
there has been notable increase in out
pu. 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 1901 slightly exceeded that Of any
