PHILADELPHIA, march 18th, 1884,
The world over, no single city offers the med
ical student such opportunities as Philadelphia.
Here are Jefferson College, the University of
Pennsylvania, the Woman's Medical College
of Pennsylvania, the famous Homeopathic
college founded by Hahnemann, and medical
schools of lesser note too numerous to mention.
Philadelphia is justly celebrated for her hospi-
tails and infrmaries, and these institutions af
ford the studentsl unrivalled opportunities for
clinical instructions. Thus practical demon
stration supplement the theoretic training of
the colleges.
The Woman's College shares with the others
all the advantages of this great medical centre.
On Thursday, the 18th, it graduated its thirty
fourth class, numbering twentY-six M. DPS.
All the colleges make great display on Com
mencement Day, but none of them do the
thing more oharmiugly than the Woman Is
College. Perhaps 1t was partly because of the
nour, u Must the busiest portion of the
day-that the audience attending was largely
composed of women. The effect was, how
sver, very brilliant, and there were
just enough rock coats to set off the fine
dressing of the ladies, The exercises were of
the usual order, but enjoyable in detail. DR..
Hannah T. Croasdsle's graceful valedictory
was complete success. The novel feature of
the affair was the distribution of presents and
bouquets sent by friends of the class of '84
Inc front OF the stage was literally banked
With bouquets and baskets of flowers, aud the
presents included both the useful aud the Or
namental, medical books and volumes of po-
etryI surgical Instruments and artistic souye-
airs, This il an extremely pretty custom.

The committee of the New York Senate
that has been inve tigating the subject of
adulleratiou of food has come to the conclu-
sion that oleomargarine ought to go. The
investigation has BE- en- made none too soon.
1t appears that nearly half of the material
sold in New York cities as butter is filthy
fat treated with nitric acid II is doubtless
possible to make an imitation of genuine
butter from fats and acids which shall be
clean and not detrimental to health, as sew
erdl chemists testified. 1t is certain howev-
er that the stuff turned out by the oleomar-
garine factories of New York City and
Brooklyn is both filthy and nnwholesome.
The tat used is imported from foreign couf-
tries and lis history nobody knows about
and none of the oleomargarine makers care
about. After being treated with nitric acid
and colored with some preparation it is pu,
upon the market as genuine butter and ap-
pesrs principally upon the tables of cheap
hotels and boarding houses How much in
jury to the public health it has occasioned il,
is OF course impossible to say. But it is EVIL
dent from the nature of it that IT is capable
OF occasioning great DEAL 1t deserves to
be regarded as a slow poison and driven
from the market.

The 6rst response to the declaration Of
the Democratic State Committee In favor Of
the v avs aud Means Committees tariff bill
comes from the merino sheep breeders of
Somerset county who in convention assem-
bled declare that they view with alarm the
placing OF wool practically on the free list as
is done by the Ways and Means Committees
bill, and ask Congress to restore the tariff of
1867. Among those who took part in the
convention and spoke on the resolutions was
the editor of the Arson Advocate who runs
a good Democratic newspaper and for years
has been reckoned among the prominen,
Democrats. What he said is not reported,
but as the resolutions were adopted mani
mously it is fair to infer that he was in ia.
vor of the resolutions and against the State
Committee.

Mr.. Reed and the Tariff Bill.
His Opinion about the Democratic Com
fer, nee mad tise Fate of the Bill.
New York World 18TH


Reed, of Maine. the Republican leader of
the House, was in very sarcastic mood to-
night when he was asked about the democratic
conference in the House over the tariff bill.
He said: ut is only another page in that
dehgnttul history of the Democratic party
wbic year by year adds new evidence that it
has no business sense, OF course the Republi-
cans are delighted We ara in favor of the
Speaker making as many free-trade speeches
as he pleases. We can we'll afford to go into
he canvass upon that issue. The Democ, ats
do rot appear to recognize the necessities If
the business situation. Business for some time
mas been struggling upon the down grade 1
doh.t mean that We are upon the verge Of
panic, but for some time the tendency has been
downward. The grade is moderate, but never
theess the depression of trade has been con-
ant. A temporary panic may grow cut OF the
SILVER question II is not time for the con-
tlnusnce OF tariff agitation. The Democratic
party is again demonstrating to the country its
incapacity for governing. The Democratic
party 10 united upon nothing and the utter
disregard OF majority of them of the princi-
pies of plain sense in their conduct OF business
~ the House this winter shows the utter and
DIRE failure they are preparing for themselves
: Then YOU do not believe the Morrison bill
Can pass?"
mo, | DO rot. It is an iucongruous bill It
retains the same classification IS the last tariff
Dill, which was SO htlerly denounced by the
AoNSuno I6luIu6Ie. Il am certain that the rev.
enue will be increased nnder the bill. II is
rot an honest attempt to cut down revenue.
LIZ is humbug and it i'll fail"
"Wiil it be discussed?"
81 DO net believe 1t will be discussed. What
the opponents of the BIZ want is an avoidance
OF agitation. We want to settle this for the
benefit Of the business interests as soon as pos
sible. just how il may be done cannot now
say, IS have not canVassed the matter, but it
will be DONE"
"It is said that there are a number of Re-
pubitcans who will vote for the bill"
l do not believe it. l know of but one and
shtll not mention his NAME want to give
him time to repent
Mr. Reed went on to say that he understood
that Carlisle and the men who thought as he
did upon the subject of revenue reform had
made up their minds to force the Democratic
party into becoming free-trade part. While
they reDounce all hope of success this year
they believe in success in the sweet by and
by. In speaking of Carlisle's moderation,
Reed said: "The Speakers moderation will
favor putting the manufacturers nose under
the water only an inch instead of ten feet.
HIS kicking might be more apparent upon the
surface, but he would fad as much difficulty
In breathing in the moderate position as deep
or down"
The Portland daily press., 1884-03-22

The Rockland Opinion whose editor Is
member of the Greenback State Com
mitiee denies thar there was any difference
ofopiDion on the tariff question manifested
at the recent Auburn conference. A vote
was taken and all the members of the COM
mittee but one declared in favor of a tariff
for revenue only. The one who did not
vote expressed himself to be in favor of rev.
enue reform. The Greenback State Com
mittee and the Democratic State Committee
are therefore in substantial accord on the
tarlff question. Before September it would
not be surprising If they found themselves
in substantial accord on several other things
ION the propriety of Greenbackers voting
the Democratic ticket for instance.

The situation in the Soudan seems not to
have been Improved so much by the two de-
feats of Osman Digma's forces as was ex-
9ected. The moral effect of these defeats
upon the Arab tibes has apparently been
very little. There is no evidence that there
have been any serious desertions from Cs-
man Digma'B standard. Osman Digma
himself is not discouraged, for he proclaims
IL to be his intention to attack the English
If they advance on Berber. The valor and
dash Of the Arabs have never been doubted,
but no Each staying power as they have de-
veloptd was not looked for. At Khartoum
the situation 10 much worse than in front of
