been making cautious advances In this dlrec.

quite conservative In his attitude toward the
proposed enfranchisement OF the university.
President Barnard, OF Columbia College, ON
the contrary, eloquently pleads in favor OF the
change. He says; "That all our American
colleges will sooner or later be open to women

IN the good old times of Postmaster Gem
cIal Randall almost anybody could get a
postoflice pass or commission of some kind
by which to deadhead the railroads out of a
fare. Those were happy days for the " Col
onels" and the Majors" of Washington
and the impecunious politician generally.
The abuse became great imposition upon
the railroads. and general kick was the re-
suit and many of the roads refused to recog-
nize the P. o. pass. After awhile, under late
administrations of the Department., the
abuse was corrected, and none but legiti-
mate officials Of the Department were given
