In a very good letter to the LII Porte
(Ind.) A,gns. r. P. Lewis says:
"You intimate that politics might
become more corrupt if women of easy
virtue would be allowed to vote. But
the men who have ruined these wom-
en-, and whose money now supports
them. are voters. and really the most
aggressive politicians we have. True,
it would be admitting another bad e!e-
ment into politics, but it would be
more than offset by giving the suffrage
to several millions Of reputable wives
and mothers. Query: If men who
associate with disreputable women may
safely be trusted with the ballot would
it bo very dangerous to extend that
privilege to their reputable wives aud

FROM recent statistics it appears that
the Parisians throw away annually
more than three hundred thousand tons
of material which is picked up by the
chifloniers and sold by them for up
war.ls of twenty-five million francs per
annum. The daily commerce Of the
chif1onicrs amounts to moro than sew.
enty thousand francs. which is shared
by forty thousand men, whose occupa-
ton consists in wandering about the
streets at night with \ lantern in hand
and hod on their backs. and picking
all kinds of scraps out of the dust-bin
and the cutters.

THE COLUMBIA ANNEX.

the College to Give tho W"meu SHOW
After ALA Move In the Right D,rsc-
tion.
Columbia College seems likely to es-
ablish an "Annex'' for young wom-
en-. This is good sign. The growth
Of the movement for higher education
is shown by the increasing tendency TO
set mp . branch establishment for
girls by the side Of each big college
that still excludes them. Ncverthe-
less, the annex system can be only
temporary. It is lop-sided and illog-
ical. So long as the branch establish.
mcnt is distinctly an annex. an OF.
shoot and an afterthought, affording
less convenienccs and facilities than
the college proper. it is unfair to the
girls. And when it is proposed to
make the annex an independent col
lege. with advantages equal TO those
enjoyed by the young men in the way
Of grounds. Laboratories. library. etc.
why then. rs the New York Indspend-
ent says:
"Thc financiering which calls for
two equal institutions. equally expon-
sive. to do the same work. orc for
young men and the other for young
women, who could perfectly well be
educated together, appeals for ap-
proval to prejudice more than to
reason
The rcdnctio dd dbsNrdum of tho sys-
tenn is to be found in such case rs oc-
Cured few years ago at Harvard.
The elective class in Sanskrit at the
university consisted Of one young man;
the elective class ut tho annex. Of one
young woman. The Sanskrit pro-
fcssor had to give every lecture twice
OVER. each time to m audience Of one,
because the traditions of the venerable
university did not admit of those two
students listening to lecture together.
Human common sense is not going tu
stand that sort of thing forever. Every
college that says A--Annex-will
sooner or later have to say B-Both
sexes admitted. Meanwhile. an annex
for girls is vastly better than nothing.

without doubt the only one which is
