If the resolution of the managers of the
Pennsylvania Hospital to accord separate clint
cal instruction to female students be intended
to give them equal facilities with men for an
equally good medical education, it may be
recognized as very desirable result of the
recent agitation. If, on the other hand, it is
proposed, that the female students shall
be forced to accept q more limited
course of instruction and more restricted
facilities than are given to men,
we protest against it as an unworthy evasion
of an issue which no intelligent Medical School
can much longer evade. We are certain to
have Women Doctors. 1t is to the interest of
the community among whom they are to prac-
tice that they should be well educated. We
demand for them, therefore, of Medical Schools,
full opportunities for such education. Nothing
short of this will be accepted, and evasions of
it will only aggravate instead Of aleviating
the existing troubles.

Mr.. Gustave Bossange, who has lately sue
ceeded his father Hector Bossange in the pub
fishing and book-selling business in Paris, has
printed for gratuitous circulation pamphlet
containing catalogue of the principal periodi-
calls of France with brief indications of their
general character and purpose, and the price OF
subscription for Paris and the United States.
1t is systematically arranged and very compre-
hensiye. and will prove valuable guide %
those who wish to famliarize themselves with
the French literature of the day.

What Mr.. Seward said to the Mexicans is
worth repeating now in the ear of Spain, for
we hold it to be a keystone principle in the re-
publican continental system of this part of the
world. 1t is simply this "That the different
republics, while they mutually abstain from
interfering with each other, will be converted
"mOre than ever henceforth into political
friends, by the strength of a moral alliance"
such a concordance of American States as
will be beneficial in consolidating internal
"peace and avoiding external attacks" This
is good, safe principle as broad as a shield,
and pronouncers and oppressors may heed 1t
with profit When we makesan opening to
the East through Darien, and grasp the COM
mercial scepter of the whole continent, this
principle must have its undisputed reign.

DjRIEN SHIP CANAL

The Isthmus of Sucz having been success
fully trayersed by broad and deep snip
Canal. which merchant steamships of 2.4OO tuns
have already passed through without difficulty
or delay. we are not surprised to learn that
the Isthmus of Darien is next to be severed
Washington dispatch to The Post says:
at is understood that the Panama Railroad Company
lately reoreanized under the title of the Panama Ra-
road and Canal Company viii before Congress FOR
stbsdv 10 construct a ship canal their route a
number OF Congressman have already been dppoaehe"
on this matter"
Now the Panama Railroad Company has,
and ever has had, our hearty good wishes and
we shall like it all the better if it adds Ship
Canal to its Railroad. We ardently hope 1t
may do so, and that it may largely proht Dy
the enterprise.
But subsidy" is horse of another color.
The Suez Canal had 10 subsidy, and has been
admirably built without one. The Panama
Railroad had no subsidy, though it was holder
and more difficult undertaking than Ship
Canal would now be. Appeal to tho civilized
world for subscriptions and loans, as Lesseps
did, and the whole press will back you 10
the utmost; but please do MT speak OF q
subsidy" 1t can't be had.
The United States are now paying SIX pei
cent. interest, free from taxation, on nearly
81 800 600, 900 of debt that is now redeemaOle
at the pleasure of the Government. 1t IL IN
dispensable that we fund that debt at lower
rate at the earliest moment. 1t is shame 10
us that we have not been able to pay oil every
Five-Twenty" when due, borrowing alta lower
rate to do it. Even a reduction of the interest
70 fire per cent. would save us Eighteen Mil
lions per annum. But we must do better than
| that.
The high rate we are paying is made pre-
text for usury' and extortion. poor man
wants to borrow few hundreds, and sues o
lender for the accommodation. Old hunks
can It think of lending at legal interest, for ~
can do better in U. S. bonds. Probably he never
bought nor held n bond in his life-you may
bet he did not while the life of the Republic
was at stake but that does not prevent hi'
using the bonds as a screw to worm usuilou'
interest ont of the pockets of the poor. We
must break the point off that screw
Messieurs who want subsidies hands Oh
In order to fund the Debt at low rate, We
must keep paying off bonds weekly, and no
issue any more, nor strain the Government

A newspaper in Charleston, S. C., having
asserted that certain classes of wOrlimen are
under-paid, is answered in the following de-
fant spirit by rival journal of the same city:
"Let us resolve rather to die than prove false to our
lineage to our history TO our blood. There can be no
emergency to require That either the en-
poyer the employed should betray the honor OF South
Carolina"
The intention whereof is to urge, not that
their citizens shall strike for the green graves
of their sires, but that they shall not strike for
an increase of their wages. 1t must be difficult
to nurse heroic wrath upon such slender nutIi-
ment. Moreover there is danger that flaming
it too vigorously may extnguish its vital spark
altogetler.

The petition which the British ColumbiaDs
have addressed their Queen prays for
annexation chiefly upon the ground that the
debt of their small colony is a million and
a half, and its general financial burdens seven
teen pounds per head; that their population is
deserving to the United States, and only
5000 out of 10000 whites now remain, and
that their want of favorable reciprocity of
trade is killing the colony by inches. Sand
wiched between Oregon and Alaska, British
Columbia has reason to feel all the distress of
an anomalous position. 1t is neither Russian,
nor American, nor yet is it English, and the
problem is to decide just what its complexion
and character shall be. British Columbia
wants nothing" says Mr.. Seward chat is
"not wanted also in Oregon, Washington, and
"Alaska-pOpulatiOn and capital" and so we
think,

Christopher Columbus is the one distinguished
character who has no statue in Boston; and
the Italians commorant in that city have held
a meeting which unfortunately came to grief.
First, one Signor put down $50; then another
Signor subscribed a like sum; then third arose,
and said that such subscriptions were absurd
ly small, and, moreover, that it was tho
business of tho Yankees and not of the Italians
to put up craven image of the world-seeking
Genoese. The two gentlemen who had put
down their names for half hundred each
grew exceedingly indignant; great confusion
ensued; mutual recriminations followed, and
the meeting adjourned without raising any
more money. 1t seems to us that Columbus Is,
of all great men, the one who has already the
nobest monument

The Art of Building Westinghouse wo
advise Mr.. Wendell Phillips to put at once
into that lecture of'his upon 1.-THE Lost Arts"
of which some of our readers may possibly
have heard. Ii is rather discouraging TO have
the sanctuary fall down because more than
two or three are gathered together therein.
This is just what has happened at the Colored
Baptist Church at Lexington, Ky. So many
persons were therein engaged in their deyo'
tons that the floor gave way. Three were
killed and much larger number seriously
injured. In our part of the country 'churches
fall before Septembey and other gales but it
seems that it is dangerous in Kentucky for the
wind Of doctrine to prove too attractive

The Public Debt will be reduced this month,
according to our present adviccs from Wash
ington, by another subtraction of nearly four
millions While the Government thus con-
tinues paying its debts and collecting its reve-
nue., it is needless to say that its credit must
continue to improve, and its notes must more
and more nearly approach the specie standard.
Temporary excitements in the market, or occa-
cional action of the Government, may inter-
fere, but the tendency is necessary and In
evitable.

We are so often compelled, in cases Of MUIR
der, to criticse verdcts of "Not Guilty by
treason of Insanity" that when such a YER
dict is rendered upon grounds adequately appa-
rent, we feel bound to recognize their pro-
priety. Marshall X. Evans, just tried aud
acquitted at Philadelphia, on the oath of last
August shot his father without any known
provocaton or any motive for the deed In
itself sufficient, the murdered man having
always been q kind and indulgent parent.
The evidence to support the defense OF IN
sanity was that the prisoner thought that per-
" sons were constantly pursuing him to lnjure
him y that his conduct generally was very
cratic; that he consulted medical man, stating
that he chad been poisoned by something sour
(" in bis dinner" that he carried shoe
makers knife, as he said, for protection
and, finally, DR.. Vandyke, the physician
above mentioned testified distinctly that in his
opinion the prisoner, when he saw him, pre-
vious to the homicide, was unquestionably in
sane. This, and other evidence, leaves no
room for doubling the lunacy of Evans, and
the District-Attorney does not appear to have
pressed the case against him with much vigor
We are not informed Of the present mental
condition of the prisoner, nor do we know
what disposition has been made Of bis person !;
but we are clearly of the opinion that no man
who has thus frightfully betrayed his infrmity
should be released from mild but vigilant su-
pervsiOn. The homicidal paroxysm may at
any time returE-may be aroused by tho
slightest physical arrangement; and the pub
lie safety requires that patients thus afflicted
should, with every provision for their comfort.
be carefully guarded and restrained.

The appearance in translation of two differ
ent sets of credentials, or, more exactly
speaking, two exceedingly different TRANSACTIONS
of Mr.. Burlingame's credentials, has excited
the community of Shanghai and raised n
question which has already been discussed In
The London Times. The meanings of the two
credentials are apparently not at war, and the
most plausible explanation of their difference
is that the more bombastic copy was adapted
to the exclusive foibles and conceit of celestial
China, and the other more practical wording
invented for the outside barbarians. In
neither case do the credentials seem to be
offensive.
