RIENDS of the Stanford University feel that Fthe worst has passed, and can see for the insti- tution a future unharmed by the circumstances which attended the resignation of Professor Ross. |~ Whether right or wrong, the position of Mrs. Stan- | ford is now satisfactorily demonstrated to be due to ve loyalty to the reputation and memory | of her husband, and not to any sentiment of sympathy | with aggressive wealth. Her position toward labor | and its rights is now recalled as it was expressed duc- ing the great railroad strike of 1804. She then owned one-fourth of the Central and Southern Pacific rail- When the lines were tied up by the strike she as sojourning at Castle Crags. The strikers con- tyolled the line to San Francisco, and, assuring them of her sympathy, she requested them to give her a This was done, and she was es- t corted down the valley in triuiiiph by her own striking employes, to whom she talked with a freedom that | was exasperating to her partners in the property. She told them that if her husband were alive there would | reads. he would not have hesitated to annul the Pullman contract, and recognize their right to dictate the | policy of the company in the matters that were at tlte root of the trouble. Throughout that event she reached the public in interviews that went further than any one else chose | to go in placing the blame on the Puilman company- ...30 Tribune Building | and asserting the propriety of a sympathetic strike under such circumstances. It has been said that this | course influenced Mr. Huntington in his determina- tion to extinguish her interest in the property as soon as he could safely do so. Now, going back :o the ethics of that strike, it is 7 difficult for any one to reconcile Mrs. Stanford’s posi- tion then with any present motive against Professor Ross that goes to his methods of teaching or his pub- lic expression of scientific conclusions. It may then be accepted as true that, right or wrong, her objec- tion is based upon reported expressions not related to such conclusions, which were taken as reflecting upon the career of her husband. Nor can it be said, in view of all the facts, that Pro- fessor Ross’ brief participatién in the campaign of 1896 as a proponent of free silver was in itself of- fensive. In his later years, during his Senatorial career, Governor Stanford held and expressed more radical views on finance than Bryan has advocated. His financial radicalism raised the greatest anxiety among his partners and business associates, and ex- tended to foreign holders of the railroad bonds and securities. He d, concurrently - with these extreme financial theories, equally radical views about the position of labor, and published them in articles and speeches on co-operation. He introduced in the Senate a bill on co- operation that was regarded as the essence of socialism, and caused him to be claimed as a convert to the theories of that cult. It may be safely said that if Stanford University were run on the labor, ncial and socialistic theories of its two founders it would appail American conservatism. This narrows the issue to one affecting only the loy- fin alty of a widow to the memory of her husband in a matter purely personal, and perhaps based upon a misrepresentation or a misunderstanding of expres- sions used. Of course every friend of higher education will wish that even such motives were not present in the ad- ministration of Stanford, but its presence is less harm- ful than the assumed motive of denial of free speech on the great subject of the rights of mass and class. he university is visibly steadying again after the storm. When the sons of Harvard painted the founder’s statue a bright carmine it did not remove the foundations of Harvard. Nor will this incident long disturb the usefulness of Stanford. That it will not is due entirely to the known and published views of the founders themselves, which so far outdo any adicalism of Professor Ross as to make him seem ke a timid conservative. The immediate pressure is greatly relieved by Presi- dent Jordan's convincing showing that the affair was not suppressed until after the vote on the Stanford amendment to the constitution of the State. trick was played on the voters. The crisis appeared six days after the election and was not expected at all prior to that time. On the showing made since our first reference to the subject it now appears that academic freedom is not to be abridged at the university, and scientific conclusions are to be freely expressed, strike whera they may. The affair is admonitory. Ii The Stanford trust in the vniversity is based in the law of the State. It is now further embedded in the constitution. .The institu- tion, by seeking and receiving this statutory and | fundamental recognition, becomes quasi-public in its | legal aspect, and the intense dttention given to the Ross incident is notice to all concerned that it must | not seem to be but must actually be what appears intended on the face of the trust. QUAY, CLARK AND @ADDICKS. | | ESPITE the rhoroughness of the Republican D victory in the country at large there are sev- eral minor issues of the election on which the decision of the people is doubtful, and out of soms of them there are likzsly to come one or more of those | Senatorial deadiocks that have been so annoying of late years. Clark is fairly sure at last of victory in Montana, for he is said to have fifty-five out of ninety- | four members of the. Legislature, and, besides, his | great antagonist, Daly, is dead. In Pennsylvania and | Delaware, however, the old fight goes on. The elec- trons have left matters in doubt, and it remains to be seen whether Quay and Addicks will win or whether the opposition to them will be sufficiently strong to | prevent an election. Of the two contests that in Pennsylvania is by far the more interesting. Addicks is a big man nowhere ganized under the laws of New Jersey.

It is now going to make the fight with increased prestige, and the chances are it may block the enterprise for some time unless the urgent de- =and of the people forces Congress to take action without further delay. 3 The great mass of the American people have of course no preferences for either route. What they wish is a canal constructed along the best route and ir the most economical manner, and they wish that accomplished as speedily as possible. The fight be- tween the two routes therefore should be settled with- out delay. Either route would be better than another indefinite postponement of the enterprise. —— - The Los Angeles woman who eloped, covered her- self with disgrace and now pleads the dreadful “hypnotic” power of her tempter, evidently thinks that insanity is more prevalent than it is in California | citics ferences of opinion exist as to how a majority of the Republican members stand with regard to the Sena- torial fight. A Philadelphia correspondent of the Pittsburg Dis- patch stated recently: “A close canvass of the Legis- lature to-day gave the Quay men 102 in the House, anti-Quay 57 and Democrats 45. This would show a tie as between the stalwarts and the Democrats and insurgents combined. The sare calculation dividss the fifty Senators equally between the stalwarts and the Democrats and insurgents, making a total on joint ballot of 127 for Quay and the same number for the i combined opposition, but adding to the Quay total the twelve votes embraced in the list of caucus anti- Quay Senators and members would give him 130.” The question will turn upon the ability of Quay | to get a number of the so’called “insurgent” Repubi- can legislators t0 go into a caucus and agree to be bound by it. His supporters claim that at least twelve No | Republican party must deal firmly and wisely. of them can be counted on to do so, but on the Wanamaker, the leader of the forces against Quay, says there are a good many members of the Legisla- ture supposed to be for Quay who will vote against him when the time comes. Between the conflicting claims outsiders canriot decide, but it looks as if the chances of victory are much better for Quay than for his opponen‘tsA ¢ 3 The Dispatch points out that “there will be no such excuse for bolting Quay next January as existed last time when he was under indictment at Philadelphia and the cry ‘No trial, no caucus’ was good justifica- tion for revolt. Since then he has been rehabilitated have successfully run the gauntlet of popular elec- tion. Those, therefore, who wish at all to be consid- ered within the pale of party organization will find it much more difficult than before to find an excusz for going back on their party’s indorsement of the ‘old man."” Few people care much about Addick be worth while to note that the Republicans have majority of five in the Delaware Legislature and the greater number of them are for Addicks, but it is known that some will fight him to a finish.

Wbeen talking ever since the election of what the Democratic party will do in the way of reformation and’reorganization, the business sense of the country has been much more concerned as to what the administration will do. That is the live issue of the day. It is a matter of work and not oi specula- tion, and consequently is of infinitely greater impor- tance than any views that may be had of the future of Bryan or the menace of Bryanism. The people of Massachusetts, with their usual prac- tical good sense, have turned their attention to the coming work of the administration, and at a recent banquet of the Middlesex Club Senator Lodge was engaged to make an address upon the subject. Hardly any man can speak with more authority upon such matters than Mr. Lodge, for he is not only a Senator of force and leading but is close to the administration and doubtless knows as fully as any one outside the Cabinet the programme the administration will recommend. Speaking of the subject generally the Senator said: “More was at stake this year than in any election since 1864, and the victory means more to the coun- try than any political victory since that time. It is for us to deserve the trust which the people have re- posed in us. We must reduce taxation by taking off war taxes wherever they can be spared. We must maintain the tariff so.that our manufacturers may have stable conditions in their home market to build upon. We must maintain absolutely the gold stan- dard, and if additional legislation is needed to strengthen it that we must pass. We must have legis- lation to develop and build up our merchant marine. There should be farther intelligent restriction of im- migration, and in the next four years the isthmian canal should be begun.” That in itself is a good programme. The country has never doubted that the administration will uphold the protective tariff and the gold standard, but it will note with gratification the announcement concerning the upbuilding of our merchant marine, the restriction of immigration and the prompt construction of the isthmian canal. Those great measures have been al- ready too long delayed, and if they be now taken up and made the special work of the administration there will be general rejoicing. . The Senator was more elaborate in dealing with the trusts and with the Philippine problem. He noted that Bryan gained his strength in the Eastern Statest more from those issues than from anything else, and drew -therefrom the conclusion that with them the He outlined no particular programme of action upon either issug, but contented himself with pointing out their importance. " Of the trusts he said: “It is a great subject and will require the best thought and the highest ability which we command, for while we seek to root out and guar ! against evils we must not throw away advan- tages or by rashness bring ruin to business. It is a difficult problem, to which the Republican party must address itself seriously and at once.” Concerning the Philippines he said: “The wise recommendation of Judge Taft's commission in re- gard to the civil service in those islands should be embodied in the law. I have believed always and pro- foundly in taking the islands, in holding them and in making them the cornerstone of our power in the East; but rather than see their government made the spoil of political parties in the United States I would abandon them, for if we do not govern those islands as Americans, and not as Democrats or Republicans, and do not keep them wholly free from party politics, our rule there will make us a byword and will bring disgrace to us and misfortune to the Filipinos. Ma- terial development, honest and able government, the largest measure of liberty possible, together with a steady advance to self-government and home ruls, such is and such will be, I believe, the policy of Presi- dent McKinley and of the Republican party.” Such is the forecast of the work of the Republican party for the next four years, It will be received with satisfaction by all Americans who are not chronically discontented. It is a programme of progress both at home and abroad, and promises to advance the pros- perity already so gratifying. It is safe to say that if the work be carried out so that four years from now the Republican party can point to immigration wisely restricted, a flourishing and increasing merchant marine, good government in the Philippines and the isthmian canal begun, it will not be difficult for the party to elect McKinley's successor.and enter upon another term of power. 3 Eugene V.

SANTA ANA BLADE—Unless the orange growers of Southern California are determined upon killing the goose which lays the golden eggs. they will heed the warning against _shipping fruit in an un- ripe condition. Season after season this warning is given, and yet there are al- ways to be found a few persons who ship oranges to the East “for the Thanksgiv- ing trade,” which means simply before they. ate fipe.

The authorities see a threatened danger in these animals should they be allowed to run wild and ropagate. It {s sald also that a breeder n Los Angeles is giving away his hares as fast as he can, there being no longer a market for them. The people will not eat them and there is no lemand for them.
