adopted by the unanimous concurrence
of the members of the Faculty and

are at this moment over five hun

every prospect of steady increase.-The
Sherman Literary Bureau at Columbus has
appeared again, slightly disfgured, to be
sure, but still able to be in the ring. As
an appeal to the party for unity, it is as
bloodless as Sherman is himself. while the
| figment of an argument that it is necessary
to carry Ohio in October, and that John
Sherman is the man to do it. will sound
queer to those who celebrated Fosters VIC
tory five months ago. BY the way, if Ohio
is SO important in October, what have they
to say about the claims of Maine, which

The Commercial says: Those make a
great mistake who think of Cincinnati as

little more than ten years. she has bui a
railroad at cost of upward of $4,000, 000

has not been unmindful of her own adorn.
ment and of the desirabi!ity of features
that would render her attractive to tourists
and visitors. There has been great i'm
rrovement in the architecture of her bust
ness blocks and public buildings. This
period includes the displacement of the old
Fifth-street Market-house by the unrivaled
bronze fountain, the erection of the Grand
Hotel. the building of the great Music
Hall, the construction of the Arcade and
Hotel Emery, the building of the hand
some and spacious Public Library. the es.
tablshment Of the Cincinnati University
and the opening of the College of Music,
and the building of the incline planes and
summer resorts at the SUBMITS of the hills.

as, it passed the House, merely re-
quired a real investigation of the
office in which Hoffman has been sticking
with desperate tenacity, and turned the
election of the officer over to the people
this spring, They dare not defeat such a
bill as that in the Senate directly, and so
they passed through the farce Of loading
the measure with unfriendly amendments
that they might provide excuses for kill
ing it. Let the people give this play their
attention, and see the final moves of the
game. All the rings in Ohio seem to be
making common cause with our ring

their trials and tribulations serve rather to-
strengthen than weaken them, as trees in

grow more rugged and take deeper root in
the ground than the protected trees of the

be the destiny of the Cincinnati College of
Music.
The Gazette says: Senator Eggleston has
| distinguished himself as reformer and a
champion of Woman's rights by present
ing an amendment to the Ray Cincinnati
Sc ool Board Bill, making women eligible
TO be members of the School Board, of the
ktwelve members which are to be elected at
large. The bill had passed the House with
out this provision. Even if the House
should pass the amended bill, its plain lille
gality would prevent its operation. The
Constitution says: ''No person shall
be elected or appointed to any Office in
this State unle,s he possesses the qualifca
tions Of an eector" Thus by means of the
glorious cause of reform through the
bringing of women into our administra-
tive places we shall lose the measure of re-
form contained in the Ray Bill, for at least
this year. Inasmuch as the bill to reform
Mr. Hoffman's Office was defeated by
means OF pretended support with secret
this General Assembly to enact any re.
form measure for Cincinnati is pretty
much exhausted.-The successful op.

have had no rational meaning, save as
