Aigaer EDUCATION fer Women.


In the matter of education, men and wo-
men should stand upon an equality. As our
colleges and universities, and in fact our
whole social system, are at present constitu-
ted, women are deprived of educational ad
yantages that are freely given to the other
sex. There Is moi single obstacle interposed
in the way of the boys, but mountains of OBJ
stacles are raised against the girls. What the
female sex has won in the way of progress
and advancement has been achieved in the
face of the gravest discouragements. They
have been compelled to fight their way into
medicine and law, and, in fact into every
walk of life, which promises the least emolu-
ment. The time has come to give them
fair chance and when the President of so
old and venerable an institution as Column
bia College advocates the throwing down of
the barriers against them, the day of their
disenthrallment cannot be far distant.-N.

BEFORE our next paper goes 10 press,
the Democratic State Convention will
have met and made its nominations
We look for q large Convention and an
animated contest, to be followed, we
hope, by union of the friends of the
candidates upon the ticket nominated.
The editorial columns of THE CLARION
have been strictly impartial. They
have not been used to build up any set
ofcandidates, nor topull down any. No
matter who may be the nominees, we
will have nothing to unsay in advocating
their election. Our columns have been
open 10 the friends Of all. and to argu-
ments from correspondents on every
side of the questions that have been
mooted

A LOCKER On.

THE \. Y. Sun, in stating why the
downfall of Conkling should be cause
of rejoicing, says:
Because in him falls one of the inventors
and chief promoter of the unconstitutional
Electoral Commission, which defrauded the
people of the United States out of their own
choice for President for four years, inaugu-
rating the uneieeted Hayes in piaee Of the
elected Tilden.
Finally, and ADORE all else, because in
Roscoe Conkling falls the leader of the Third
Term party, who would overthrow the free
Constitution of the United States, and erect
an empire on its ruins.

THE war between the competing lines
of railroads running from New York

to East St. Louis at 80 cents hundred,
a cut Of ten gents from the tariff The
railroad Companies, 90 the 18th inst,
lowered the price o. tickets from New

tickets were bought for SO (s2O being

And for dollar and halfless from the

The Pennsylvania Legisl ature appro-
PIRATES 1920, 900 annually for the State
militia, which numbers $50 companies,
aggregating about 5000 men. Gen.
Hartrapft thinks 5000 men sufficient,
if they are properly trained. Since the
PittsbuFg riots the Pennsylyapians have
found it necessary to keep large mill
tary force in training and practically
under arms to suppress lawlessness and
to protect the property of the railroad
corpOsations from destruction. Suppose
such state Of things existed in Missis-
sippi what would be said about 1t Up
North? How the heather would rage!

AN important feature of Southern
trade with the North is the vegetable
and fruit traffic, which is growing to
very large proportions, and increases
with transportation and refrigeration IA
cilities The Philadelphia North Ameri-
can saws of the trade there:
"a stroll through the produce market
houses and places gives the best evidence
of the advanced state of vegetation in the
Southern States as compared with the more
Northern and Middle States. and it may be
remarked that the quality has considerably
improved within the past few years. The
supplies come in very rapidly, and this has
a tendency to keep the rates down to very
low figures. Large quantities of watermel
ons aud canteloupes arrive freely from North
Carolina, while apples, pears and potatoes
come from Norfolk, Va, and Maryland.
The supplies of potatoes are so heavy that
the best of them were selling yesterday at
81 per barrel, equivalent to two bushels and
three pecks. Apples ip excellent order were
selling at twenty-five cents per ha!fhushel
basket There also pretty heavy sup
plies of tomatoes, squashes, beets, cabbage,
plums and pears, and it is very evident that
for some time the market will be over-sup-
piled with these articles"
1t is ia the Western cities that the
fruitand vegetable growers of Mississip-
pi find their principal markets,
