and near at hand. We speak not as partisans.
Dearer than any party is the country. Higher
than obligation to any party is our duty to
the republic--to that experiment OF self
government which, within few short years,
will either vindicate itself or end in failure
That it may not fail radicalism must be ar
rested in its mad career If the reaction be
thorough it was of minor consequence
whether il came under one banner or an
other. Possibly public opinion might have
been so rapidly aroused that the Republican
party itself could have cast out its evil spirits
but the Ku-klux bill settles that question; il
is the clutch of despotism upon the throat of
that party which will not be shaken off, and
6 wise Democracy has now but to invite and
welcome the aid of all honest and patriotic
men. better day will dawn. Lawless
soldiers will be dismissed from halls of state,
to make room for men who respect the laws
and know something of craftsmanship. Po-
litical freebooters will be warned to seek
other lands where Saxon love of liberty does
not forbid chronic revolution. The madness
of partisanship will cool and give place to a
reasoning and candid patriotism. That hor-
rible apparition-the man on horseback with
the naked sword-visible now these six long
years in the political horizon, and growing
ever nearer and more distinct, will vanish
forever. Justice, with her equal balances.
will once more appear.
Hasten the day, brave Republicans who
battle against the wolves of party to save
liberty and justics from their jaws. Hasten
the day, stanch and patriotic Democrats,
who can well afford to forget how long you
have denounced this fatal policy if in the
end your country may be saved. Join hands,
both, in one vigorous and resolute effort,
not for this party or for that, but to arouse
the people of this land to sense of their
danger and their duty. Bring it to vote
whether the ''peace" which we are promised
shall be such as the Gar gave to Warsaw.
Bring it to vote whether free America
means to build up thirteen Irelands between
the Potomac and the Ohio and the Gulf.
Let it be at once adjudged whether all the
industry of the land shall be at the mercy
of few monopolists, and all its liberties
at the mercy of few demagogues and one
soldierl

SUCCESSES OF THE WOMEN DOCTORS.

SUCCESSES OF THE WOMEN DOCTORS.
From the N. Y Tribune
The Pennsylvania State Medical Society,
in its session in Williamsport, rescinded, on
the 18th inst, as we were confident they
would do, their rule prohibiting consultations
with women physicians, or with those medi-
cal men who either taught or consulted with
them. The reformatory measure was barely
passed by a majority of 10, after a heated
discussion and against an obstinate opposi-
ton.
The battle for the admission of women to
the ranks of the legitimate medical fraternity
seems destined to be fought on conservative
Pennsylvania soil, and at the same time the
victory has been gained with such wisely just
restrictions upon them as to make their ulti-
mate triumph more secure. The struggle in
Philadelphia began last year upon the admis-
sion of the students of the Female Medical
College to the clinics of the University and
Jefferson College. The contest was bitter,
and waged, we are forced to say, on both
sides with not much discretion, but it has
resulted in the triumph of the progressive
party.
Clinical lectures are provided by the Board
of Managers for the class of the Women's
College, although the provision was made
that they are to be kept strictly separate from
those for the male students. The board were
forced to this decision by the contributors,
which is.a significant hint of the popularity
of the movement. A second battle was
fought later, when DR.. Thomas, one of the
Faculty of this college, applied for admission
as q delegate to the annual meeting in San
Francisco of the American Medical Associa-
ton. The claims of women were urged and
contested during several sessions, when the
conservatives temporized by postponing the
matter indefinitely, and DR.. Thomas remained
triumphantly in possession of his seat. In
Philadelphia, also, the American Hompo-
pathio Institute passed the resolution
admitting to full and honorable member
ship all properly qualified physicians of either
sex.
In the Quaker City, therefore, the way is
made open and pleasant for any woman who
deems this profession her legitimate path to
usefulness. The only organized opposition
to women remaining in Pennsylvania is to be
found in the Philadelphia County Medical So
ciety-a purely local opposition, which will
rather serve as a spur to energy, we foresee
than prove q let or hindrance. We think the
active friends of the women in the late con-
vention worthy of especial mention. They
are as might be surmised, among the ablest
and shrewdest physicians in the State. They
were Drs. Joseph Parrish, of Media Hiram
Corson, of Montgomery county; Washington
L. Atlee, of Philadelphia; Wilmer Worthing-
ton, of West Chester; and Trail Green, of
Easton.

of citizens, representation of special inte-

questions; entire liberty of association; the

1.-THE condition to everything serious in reli-
gious opinions.
This is formidable programme, but il has
a simple principle as the basis of all its sug-
gestions. Who shall say that the writer may
not address M. Theirs and the Assembly to-
day, as he did the Emperor in 1862 10 reject
the advice may be as fatal now as il has al
ready proved to be on one occasion.
