Editorial Notes.

The plan for the instruction of wo-
men by Harvard professors, outside of
the sacred limits of the college, was
put into operation this week. Four
women successfully past the examiua-
ton for admission to the regular course,
aud the others who appeared, eighteen
in all, will take special courses, passing
the necessary examination. They take
up their residence in different pats of
Cambridge, and recite to the professors
in every way independent of the regu-
lar university work. Thus to women
the college is near and yet so far; for
their instruction is not recognized, in
any way, officially.
A wick for lamps is now manufact-
ured entirely of glass, by Messrs. Vo-
briel & Beck, of Hanan, Germany. 1t
is designed chiefly for use in petroleum
and spirit lamps; and, with an equal
amount of the wick turned up, 1t gives
much brighter light than cotton
wick. In the spirit lamp, too, it is
found to greatly increase the heat of
flame. No sparks are given off by this
incombustble wick, nor does the light
flare in draughts to the extent which it
does with a burning wick; hence it
makes the lamp safer. The smoking Is
also reduced, and it is stated that ten
per cent. of oil is saved by Its use. OF
course the dIsagreeable task of trim
ming the lamp is rendered unnecessary
for being of glass the wick does not
consume, but wastes away very slightly
by fusion.

The Democratic State Convention
which went forth from its old and
proper pathway of honest money and
sought to retain the discontinued and
ambitious, who could not be accommo-
dated with offices, by pleasing plati-
tudes about paper currency and about
the extinction of national banks, this
Democratic State convention blunder-
ed sadly. 1t gained nothing by its de-
Election from the course of truth aud
virtue. 1t even lost by sacrificing prin-
ciple to expediency, and was made
drunken when it was persuaded to in
hale small quantity of the laughing
gas of Greenbackism. But the event
in Ohio sobers us all again.
The people are still honest,
practical, and by no means afflicted
with that mania which would render
impossible the influx from Europe of
gold now imported at the rate of $780,
900, 900 per annum, or $40, 900, 600 per
quarter. The people would not have
us substitute volatile, valueless paper
and drive this gold out of circulation,
out of the country, and certainly out
OF their reach. Fortune has favored
US. While Sherman was contracting
the currency so that he could make
every paper dollar worth a gold dol
lar, crops failed in Europe and
were abundant here, and Europe
pays the difference in gold.
The people prefer it to fiat money, and
Providence itself thus forces us back
to the practices and theories of our
honest fathers. In truth, Greenback
philosophy cannot be practiced or Lead
vile and Mojara are excavated In vain.
The Democratic party, in the presence
of these facts, must be recognized
4 and reconstructed or give up the ghost.
1t had power in its grasp, but went of
most inepportrnely after false issues,
and suffered itself to be cheated by
traitors who are always the worst ene-
mics of a Cause they have abandoned.
Democracy has wrecked itself when
ever it wasted strength, sent out life
boats and threw out cords of sympathy
to piratical wreckers that went to sea

Norsemen like Britton A. Hill are

THE keen interest confessed If the
pending contest in New York, to be
decided on the fourth proximo, involv-
ing TIlden's future as a candidate for
the presidency and the further question
whether the Democracy shall 90 back
to first principles and honest money
these facts induce US to tell that John
Kelly with Tammany at his back, is
Conducting q forced campaign. He is
now in the center of the State with
Dorshelmer, Cox & Co., conducting a
war OF Chinese noises upon the regular
nominee. The best thinking New
Workers agree that Dorsheimer is max
ing most unseemly spectacle of him
self in tearing about the country hurl-
ing invectives at his superior in Office,
Governor II binson. In the event of
the success of the regular ticket Dor
sheimer can return to the Republican
party, for he has been there before.
Kelly may stand alone and enjoy his
position, but who will care for Sunset
Cox. There is q growing faction IN the
Republican party which frowns upon
the Kelly annex as q new revelation in
political villany and are determined to
reject the prcffered aid of renegade
Democrats as unwhOlesome. Again
the scratching party is on the increase.
In day or two they will hav: a ban
ner with the Republican ticket upon it
erected in Uhien square, with the
names of Cornell and Soule erased.
This party will have central organi,
zatioD, which will furnish the Rspubli-
can State ticket 20 the scratchers
throughout the State with the black
line printed across the name of the
candidate for Governor and for State
Engineer. 1t Is believed at the Demo
cratic headquarters that the majority
of this patty will, by election day, de-
eide to vote for Governor Robinson.
and the evidence of this is the daily
application for Robinson posters. The
most patent argument in Mr.. Robin
sons favor is one that it needs nc
stump orator to trumpet--the sstonish-
ing reduction In taxation in the State.
AS an incident of the campaign, the
popular Democratic banner is not one
bearing the name of Governor Robin
son, bat one bearing John Kelly's name
in shadowy letters covering the name
of Alonzo B. Cornell in bold type in
the back ground. The reorganization
of the city Democracy proceeds rapid
ly and will be successfully effected by
the end of the present week.

LETTER-wRITERs say that Kelly is

the Democracy of New York is smit-
ten as by q paralysis by the event in
Ohio. Ewing's overthrow and Tam
many's revolt have broken the spirit
even of the descendants of the Old
Hunkers. II Robinson and TIlden be
slaughtered the end has come, and we
should begin to think of new pro.
gramme and new alliances. The New

declares that Kelly's declaration that
Tammany must be paid its price or il

that Democracy gains rather than
loses by Kelly's detection.

THE story told in reference to Gen.
Gano's application for land grant as
compensation for the proposed intro
duction of one hundred and fifty fami-
lies from Kentucky, each family to
have certificate for one hundred
and sixty acres, to be located anywhere,
and Gano himself to have twenty-six
sections for his services, signifies moth
ing. Governor Roberts condemned the
scheme, and most wisely. We have
had enough of them in Texas. 1t was
Peters colony arrangement on small
scale. Governor Roberts sought by
every means possible to secure legisla-
ton that would have enabled the State
and the railroads, having alternate Sec
TONS. to. ''sell" lands to persons who
would buy and colonize. But the
Legislature failed to cooperate with
him. Capitalists will not buy small
tracts, and neither he State nor
the railroads can now sell IN
large bodies where their lands
are collocated. This evil the Governor
sought to remedy, but in vain. He is
anxious to promote colonization, but
not that which is purely speculative.
He has exerted himself to sell the
Capitol building survey, and will prob
ably accomplish his purpose in such a
manner that it will be speedily settled
by industrious farmers. 1t is hardly
necessary to "give" a man wide dis
trict of country In order to induce him
to import immigrants when there are
countless capitalists ready to buy. If
they can only secure accessible terri
tory in large tracts, which they can
subdivide and sell. The State and the
railways, as, the Governor proposed,
should Cooperate in making sales.
