QUEEN VICTORIA has notified the
Association of Physicians and Surgeons
in London that she will withdraw from
it if women are admitted to the practice
of medicine. We are not fanatic on the
subject OF woman's rights, blu: we do like
to see justice and consistency. If it be
proper for women to be soverelgns of
great nations, 1t certainly seems that they
ought to be permitted to prescribe for the
sick. Surely, Victoria might be more
loyal TO her sex and not discourage the
lords of creation when they are about to
grant woman an entrance to profession
tor which she is peculiarly fitted. But
it's the old argument, not mans injustice,
but woman's prejudice; let the latter be
overcome and the former will be found
to have been no real obstacle to woman's
advancement

THE desire for money is the curse OF
to-day. 1t is universal and all.absorbing.
No one is free from it. Princeton is a
UNCONVENTIONAL college and one of the
strongholds of orthodoxy. Last year a
terrible maleria broke out there and its
origin was traced to poor sewerage.
Rev. VIM. Harris, the penurious treasurer,
neglected to have proper drainage put in,
because the bids were, in his estimation,
too high. His negligence or criminal
Misrepresentation ought to have cost
him his place. Now he is charged with
wrongfully withholding the rebate due to
students at the end Of the year. He is
said to have made many hundreds Of COL
lars in this way. The proofs are many
and strong. If minister in denomina-
tlenal college will rob students who are
struggling with poverty, many of them,
In trying to get an education, where shall
we look for men who will not barter soul
and honor for gold?

We are particularly gratified to know
that the attorneys of the judicial district
Of which G. NJ. Start is now Judge by
appointment, have united, without regard
to party, in petition to him, asking per-
mission to make him the nominee Of all
partles-or rather of no party, but of the
people-for the position he now occu-
pies. Not only is this jus: recognition
of Mr.. Starts ability, good character, and
peculiar fitness for so responsible posi-.
ton, but it is the true way to select a
candidate for Judge. Il IS deplorable
that the judiciary should be degraded by
the contamination of party warfare, and
that judges should be put upon the Bench,
who have many bitter partisans practic.
ing, or beng tried, under them. whose
political enmity it IS at least human
nature to remember. But Mr.. Starts
district will avoid all the evil tendencies
Of a political canvass for the judgeship,
elect pure man, and have a just Court.
