COLLEGES FOR JTOMEN.

The facilities for affording an advanced ed
ucation to women are multiplying rapidly.
Only last week q new college for women was
opened in Baltimore, under the auspices OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church, and with the evil
dent sympathy of the authorities of Johns Hop
kins University. A very important step along
this line is the decision Of the trustees OF Co
lumbia College that the proposed annex may
be established to give women the full benent
of the college corps of instructors, etc. The
conditions attached to this grant may seem Sc
we're, but the promoters of the project declare
them elves ready to meet them. The require
ment that the trustees Of the new college shall
be approved by the trustees of Columbia Col
lege is natural and proper, considering the re-
lations of the two institutions and the benefits
the new will derive from the old. 1t is pro-
vided that the women: college shall be entirely
self-supporting receiving no aid from Columbia
College. This throws the infant institution
entirely upon its own resources, but It's friends
are hopeful of securing sufficient endowment
TO begin operation; with reasonable assurance
of success. 1t is also provided that the pro-
fessors and instructors Of the two colleges shall
be the same.
This would seem to secure, il the necessary
endowment can be raised all the real advan-.
tages that have been claimed for coeducation.
The young women who are already studying at
Columbia are in most unsatisfactory position.
They are required to pass the Same examina-
tiors as the young men, but all their prepara-
ton must be made outside the college walls.
In tho new college they will have the services
of the large force of professors and instructors
Of Columbia College, and will doubtless enjoy
the use of libraries apparatus. and tho other
facilities of an old and well-endowed institu-
ton of learning, which represent long and pa
tient accumulation, and cannot be summoned
in a day by any endowment, however large.
All that seems to be withheld from the women
students under this arrangement is the priv
lege of joining the classes of men. But this is
system the expediency of which is at least
disputed 1t will certainly not be pretended
any more that the girl students need the slim
illus of contact with the masculine mind. The
records of the colleges both in England and
this country show that the women cannot only
equal but surpass the men in scholarship. The
founding of this institution may have an i'm
portant local effect. 1t will no longer be neces-
sary for parents to exile their daughters in
order to give them college education. Many
no doubt will be glad of the prospect of being
able to secure such advantages, under the
guardianship of an institution so venerable and
so well equipped as Columbia, without having
to sacrifice any element of home life.

FOOTBALL DIPLOMACY.

We all ought to feel grateful and contented
this peaceful Sunday morning that the Har-
yard-Princeton football game has actually been
played. Neither the JOY Of victory nor the
anguish Of defeat is so proper and reasonable an
emotion as the sense of relief that the game is
actually accomplished. So much at all events
has been achieved and can never be taken from
US. The past at least is secure.
We would not wish to express for ourselves
nor assume for the public wanton and irrever-
ent distrust Of the plenipotentaries from Cam
bridge and New-Haven who are now engaged
in the momentous and delicate task of ar
ranging football game for Thanksgiving
Day between the Crimson and the Blue. We
would rather be found in the attitude Of con-
iiding and hopeful expectancy; and yet it is no
which it would be unbecoming and almost i'm
pertinent to manifest. Rash and ight-headed
persons are perhaps disposed to think that if
the affair were left to them they might adjust
all the difficulties within the next ten days. but
they are either criminally Indifferent to the
tremendous issues that are involved, or else,
following blindly in the long line of fools, they
would rush in where angels fear to tread. In
old days the thing was comparatively simple,
and even second-rate envoy from Yale or
Harvard might reasonably expect that he would
be able to visit the domains Of the hostile
Power and at least bring back peace with honor.
But in these tumultuous times there are OBJ

BETTING on ELECTIONS.

Was there ever so much betting upon an
election as there has been this year? The
number of bets has been legion, many of them
jocose, many of them for tnling amounts but
a great number for large sums of money. The
humorous bets are only laughing matter, OF
course If Jones had faith in Cleveland, and
is obliged to trundle Smith, who believed in
Harrison, for mile or two through the streets
in wheeIbarrow; or if Brown sits two hours
on top of picket-fence; or If Robinson finds
himself compelled to cheer for Harrison quar-
ter of an hour every day for month on the
main street Of his town, it cannot be said that
anybody is seriously injured.
But the money betting has assumed proper
tons that deserve the attention of morallsts
Is it right or safe that a Presidential election
should be made a gambling operation as this

DISTINGUISHES the voter who has bet pending

Just principle that the man who votes to help
his bet Is in reality brbing himself Men who
have enormous stakes upon the issue of an cleo

this campaign, may very easily be tempted to

intercollegiate football games which may well
appal the stoutcst heart. In comparison with
such an undertaking it would be very easy
matter to negotiate an offensive and defensive
alliance between all the potentates of Europe.
A failure to bring eleven men from ale and
Harvard together at some accessible point the
last Thursday in November would eclipse the
gayety of nations-and yet between the public
and that overwhelming calamity nothing now
stands except handful of gallant young col
lege diplomats. Moreover, tho affair is no
longer in the preliminary stage Of protocols and
pronunciamentos. As we understand 1t, and
we beg to be corrected if we are wrong, each

would seem to argue that no man can serve two

the complex Democracy Of this great city neccs-
sarily will have TO devote much time to the
world and the divvle to have none left for

reason occurs to us which may have constrained
the Mayor-elect to swear of from agile trOt-
tiers. John Phoenix once hailed friend of
