Those most opposed to the so-called 4" Advanced
Female" cannot but read with hearty pleasure and
interest the record Of the first special WomeD's
eleven lady candidates for the severe examination
imposed there were nine successes. six OF the nine
taking hOnOrs and four of them scholarships.
Where among the colleges for males with the same
examination standard will there be this
year equally low percentage of failure
These young ladies have, of course. devoted
themselves to thoroughly hard work, and it may be
that male students could have reached the same re-
suit with less persistent preparation. Bat however
this may be- il is cause for sincere pleasure to re-
fleet that in the increasing number OF successIui
candidates for wOmen's examinations may De seen
also an increasing number of thorough and accurate
teachers for the primary and secondary schools OF
England. When American women ma III theH
Harvard certificates a sure recommendation TO

be no lack of candidates for the examlna-
tions of that University. That English women
have found ont the value of such certificates Is
shown by the 730 young women who are Just now
applying for the oxford examinations. AS to the
practical effect of hard study for women, 1t may
perhaps be well to mention that the Chancellor oil

Our Democratic friends seem bent on establish
ing it as IA cardinal doctrine of their political faith
that the tail actually and invariably does waggle
the dog The latest illustration OF this purpose is
in their criticism of Senator Kernan's late speech
in defence of the New-YOrk Democracy, In which
they complain that he neglected to make the point
against the Republicans that Tweed had Republ-
can allies and that some OF his most Tascaly
schemes were carried through Republican Legisla-
lures by the ard of Republican votes. The idea Is
TO charge the responsibility for Tweeds crimes upon
the Republicans on the ground that he found few
purchasabIe corrupt Republicans and bought them
up. Their application of L" Er anO dsce OmRes
is. "From one dishonest Republican learn
what all Republicans are, and from one
honest Democrat what all Democrats are"
They consider this, no doubt, the perfection
of Impartiaty. They hold that the tan wagges
the dos IN both parties. A half dozen corrupt Re
pubhcans are found, and they say, Behold a cor
rupt party p With more difficulty, and after labor
ious searching, they discover half dozen Democrats
who seem earnestly in favor Of political reform, and
forthwith they throw up their hats aud shout,
This is the Party of ReformW II they 90 on in
this way it will presently be established as funda-
mental doctrine of Democracy that the tail inyarl-
ably waggles the dog. A minority Of White Demo-
Gratis in the South waggles the Solid South, few
Northern Democrats waggie the Congressional
majority, and two or three honest men IN the party
are to he credited with waggng the whole concern
In behalf Of honest elections and pure politics.

The undergraduates of theological semnaries are
not usually numerous and possibly their defcien-
cies of character and attainment, when such unhap-
ply exist are the more apparent upon that account
we notice that in the report made by the Rev. Dr.
Prime to the Presbyterian Assembly at Saratoga, on
theological seninaries the exclusion from them OF
1.-THE lazy, dull and worldIy-minded" was recon-
mended. The excellence OF tins advice needs no
demonstration. Yet we have always believed the
number TO be small of young men entering the min
istry for the mere sake of securing profession.
Such course implies perpetual hypocrisy which
would make life intolerable to any sensitive person.
The standard OF honest devotion to the ministry
in theological students has been uncOmmOnly high.

If there is reasonable response to the call issued
by The World newspaper IN recent issue, we shall
shortly have dress parade of all the Democratic
leaders in the country. That journal somewhat ex-
citedly SAYS: If our public life is full of dema-
gogues and charlatans and rogues let them all come
up into the light of day and SHOW themselves in
their true colors. Let us know who they are and
how many there are of them" This looks either to
a dress parade OF a census. Possibly it is the first
step IN the preparation tor Democratic victory in
1880. the idea being to find out who they are and
how many there are of them" IN order to see if
there are Offices enough 70 go round But where Is

decline ofthe week. Lehigh Valley sunk

There is intense interest in church cir
cles about st. Clements Church affairs.
The summary Of the situation, now that
the Convention has adjourned, Is this:
st. Clements Church has been engaging
in practices or usages for years which are
regarded by the majority OF the Conven-
ton as an innovation on the ritual and a
disgrace to the Protestant Episcopal
Church Of the United States. There was
nothing in the canons OF the diocese BY
which this alleged wrong could be reme-
died, and, therefore, the Committee on
st. Clements Church recommended to the
Committee on Canons canon which will
render church or congregation engaging in
the practices and usages referred to liable
to disunion from the Convention, and the
clergyman to trial for violation OF the
carons OF the Convention and breach Of
his ordination VOWS. Such a canon has
been reported to the Diocesan Convention,
and adopted, and therefore the practical
result will be that St. Clements Church,
which, according to the announcement OF
Father Prescott yesterday Is evidently de-
termined to worship in It's own peculiar
way, will at no distant day be separated
from the Diocesan General Convention Of
the Protestant Episcopal Church, and left
in state Of isolation 10 act in the matter
OF religious observance Just as it pleases.
