tho same age as would be the same number
of young men selected at random from the
male classes. The theses embraced the usual
range of subjects; the address by the repre-
sentative of the Faculty would compare favor
ably with that of any college don. 1t would
be very hard to convince the ordinary spec
tator that the dozen alert clear-eyed, reasona-
ble-looking young women thus sent out TO XIII
or cure were Gas some of the old school OF
physicians would have us believe) mentally
incapacitated from ranking in knowledge or
skill with the hundreds Of Bob Sawyers VINO
are turned out every year to practice on our
bodies.
The mistake made in Judging of this matter
of women physicians is that their opponents
insist Oh comparing the average woman stu
dent not with the average man, but with the
chiefs of the profession. We may not De
wholly convinced that woman can have the
physical strength or nerve which would lead
us to choose her to perform capital opera
ton in surgery, or the persistent devotion 70
her art which would enable her to trace
an obscure disease to its unknown
germs and to control it; but capital
operations and obscure diseases are rare,
and so are the men who can master
them. The great mass of sick people are ieit
to the treatment, as an eminent phyS'clan
stated lately, of incompetent and ignorant
Young practitioners who go into the business
solely to make money, who gain diplomas
without study, and dose or cut thereafter with
as little true love for their noble profession as
though they were butchers at work on a car
cass, or tailors patching a coat The twelve
Young women doctors who graduated last week
may be no better than these. But the pre-
sumption is in their favor. 1t required IN the
first place determination, grit, and certain
staying power to choose ard persist in so un-
popular a career: it will require ex optional
ability and industry to command success, now
that they have entered on it.
The fact weighs in Their favor, too, that the
majority of women who have tried this eX-
pertinent in America have commanded at least
moderate success. They have not dcgenerated,
like too many young sawbones, into puiicry or
crlckcry in spite of all their difficulties. Many
of them in this and OTHER seaboard cities have
large and lucrative practice; all OF them, as
far rs we know, go about their work with
such ability as they may happen to have, but
ALWAYS gravely and quietly, and not one has
given up the work. as do 80 many OF their I'M
lucky brothers, to turn the penny at some
other business which their profession will not
Weld them.

Empire State with this record, that he and his
friends have given mortal insult to the best
elements of the Republican party, ana at tne
Same time have confessed that 1t Is utterly
impossible to carry New-York without them.
OF course, Mr.. Cornell is most sincere ana
ardent friend of "our noble Senator" NOBODY
can doubt that in view of the gushing enthu-
siasm of his dispatches. But il it had been
the long-cherished intent of Mr.. Cornell to
nit the knife to Senator COnkling, he could
not have done it more effectually. Indeed, 80
Obvious is the effect of his recent maneuvers'
and so difficult is it to believe that cunning
and experienced politician like Cornell does
not know their probable results, that we are
tempted to doubt whether the recent confer
ences with friends of Mr.. Blaine at Washing
ton were after all as barren and fruitless as
they were reported to have been. Was there
any understanding effected in pursuance or
which the cunning Cornell, apparently blun-
dering inexcusably in excess of zeal for Conk-
ling. deliberately stabbed HIM to make room
for somebody else7 We cannot guess. The
ways of managing politicians are past finding
out We only know that "Our noble Senator"
has been done TO death, and that the fatal
blow, be it murderous or laundering, was
dealt by Cornell.
No candidate has ever secured nomination
in the face of such hostility in his own State
as Mr.. Conkling has now to meet. The vote
in Convention-neary a third of it opposed to
any mention of his name, however vague and
impotent-was surely bad enough, but 1t Is
not the worst. Mr.. Curtis, whose strong speech
goes to all parts of the country, after TINS
declaration of irreconcilable hostility was
selected as delegate. Others, equally well
known as opposed to the nomination OF Mr..
Conklng, were also selected 1t would be
absurd to claim that such delegation, thus
chosen, should bow TO the mere preference
expressed by the majority. Any attempt
10 whcedle or bully the delegation into
unanimIty for Conkling would arouse anew,
and render more dangerous than ever,
the spirit of revolt against the dictation of
the bread and butter brigade; nor will the men
dare TO make it who did not dare to offer in
Convention q resolution Of Instructions. Mr..
Conklng il dead there il no doubt OF IT.
Hereafter the men who talk Of him rs can

PHILADELPHIA MEDICAL COLLEGE ron


Last week the Woman's Medical College in
Philadelphia celebrated its 9th annual Com
menccment; twelve young women were gradu-
ated rs qualified physicians. Enough opposition
has been met and overcome by this institution to
give to each class successfully sent out the
air of victory. Opposition here, rs elsewhere,
has proved tho most active of tones; tho
friends of the college have been Jealous in
proportion to the difficulties thrown in its way /;
exceptional care has been exercised in the
choice of professors, and the pupils have been
spurred to unusual effort by the very rid
icule and moro serious animosity with
which they have been assaled In
deed, in this opposition and Its re-
suits lie the only perceptible differences be-
tween the Commencement of last week and
those of the larger medical colleges exclusively
for the use of men. The graduates were about

Full particulars Of to-morrow's solar eclipse
will be found on our second page. Since this
eclipse is calculated as being visible throughout
the United States, Florida only excepted, only
very extensive area of cloud can entirely cut
off the spectacle. The local time when the
eclipse begins will of course be earlier i'll the
afternoon at the West than at the East. The
duration OF the eclipse is longest at the West.
especially toward the northwestern border, 1t
being nearly total where the boundary touches
the Pacific Ocean. In the Southern States the
duration is comparatively brief, growing shorter
with more southerly latitude. Nowhere is the
eclipse quite total; in its central path there
will be still a ring of sunlight around the
moon when the full development is reached.
There is consequently less than the usual in
terest in solar ecipses in this instance for
astronomers, although there may be good
chance for observing the corona and perhaps
to search for interior planets, If the weather

BY the death of Ward Cheney of South Manches-
ter Conn, American industry loses of ITS most
Jealous friends and worthest representatives. As
sociated with his brothers, he established sill, acto-
ries ut Hartford and South Manchester which
have given employment to several thousand
ork-peopls, and produced fabrics of marvellous
excellence in texture, quality, and color These
goods the firm forced strenuously into public notice,
and thus overcame to large extent prejudices EN-
tertained against their own and kindred products
simply because Of their being homemade. Mr..
Cheney and his brothers likewise took warm inter
est in tho welfare of their work-people and con-
tributed literally to their material and intellectual
advancement

A necessity for a State Board of Audit was
shown in the debate at Albany which pre-
ceded tho passage in the Senate of the bill TO
constitute the Board. Under the amended
Constitution there is no existing Board to pass
upon the claims of private citizens against the
State; the evils that follow intrusting each
claim to n temporary committee have been
demonstrated by the old canal frauds thus
perpetrated. The new Board of Audit is to
consist of the Controller, the State Treasurer,
and the Secretary of State. The advantage OF
employing this Board rather than Court
of Claims is that there will be 10 impropraty,
as there would be with court, in having its
decisions reviewed by the Legislature i'll ac-
cordance with provision OF the Constitution.

A compromise ON the currency question is
now contemplated in the House. Not among
the Democrats by themselves; that has been
shown to be impracticabe by the action OF the
caucus; but through combination OF the
better elements OF both parties including cs-
peclally members most free from partisan con-
troll. 1t is proposed to restore to holders OF
$50 and upward of United States notes,
the privilege of funding them in Government
bonds. The justice and desirableneSs OF such
a privilege have been urged by several OF the
more intelligent students of the subject. The
most Objectionable feature about the proposed
compromise is that the repeal of the Resump-
ton act is talked of as part of the programme
Such repeal might do immcasurabe damage
to the national credit and greatly intensity the
hard times.

ever that according to this testimony, while
the President did not read the letter, he sug-

Gen. Bolknap's impeachment may not, after
all, prove failure. THE TRIBUNEs report OF
1872 concerning the extortiOn practced at
Fort Sill, it is now hoped has laid the basis
for fastening guilt upon the ex-Secretary. Mr..
Marsh's evidence is conclusive upon the point
that Gen. Bclknap knew of THE TRIBUNEs
exposure and was aware that the plunder
which he shared was wrung from soldiers
obliged to deal with the post-trader. The ac-
knowledgment by Gen. Belknap of the receipt
of these ill-gotten gains rivets tho chain of
testimony.
