SWISS UNIVERSITIES.
They Are Run Upon Co-Educational
Basis.

They Are Run Upon Co-Educational
Basis.
The Swiss universities are broad and
liberal in the highest degree. Statutes
are passed in their senates with simple
reference to elevation of character and
usefulness, and with no apparent
thought of the sexes as separate. These
statutes, when presented in council, are
treated in the same spirit, and the
question as to the advisability of CO.
education came first in every university
after women had already entered and
studied. The original statutes exclud-
ed no one, and consequently when
after generally remarkably long time
women applied for admission, their
names were taken exactly as those of
their brothers were taken; they
took their places among these and
worked there undisturbed until
some other consideration brought
the. question forward. 1t is.sdiffi-
cult to see why it should have been
so long after the establishment OF the
universities before women asked to
work in them. In Zurich 1t was thirty
one years, in Berne thirty-eight, while
Basic was disturbed first last year by
the question. Lausanne, however,
which just begins its career as uni
versity, begins with women students.
In Zurich and Berne it may have been
the development of the universities
from schools originally founded for the
aid of callings as yet unthought of for
women which caused the indifference
on the part of women toward them.
However that may be, when in the
sixties women applied for admission in
Zurich-the first one was foreigner
no question was raised; she entered and
took her degree. Ten years later, when
SO many, chiefly Russians, came with
insufficient preparation, new law was
passed regulating the admission of
students into the university, and
formally recognizing women.-Flora
Bridges, in Popular Science Monthly.

In seventeen Northern States the
total vote cast was within less than
per cent. of the Presidential vote Of
1885, And in these States the Demo-
cratic gain in the popular vote was over
602, 000l In 1883 the Republicans car
ried every one OF these seventeen
States. In 1890 the Democrats carried
twelve Of them. The House Of Repre-
sentatives was made Democratic by .
safe-working majority without count
ing 9 single member from the South.
BY an antiquated and unrepublican
arrangement Of sessions the new Con-
gress will not meet in regular order
until December next. But it represents
the latest expression Of the popular
will. In contending for obedience to
that win the Democrats II Congress are
simply insisting that the majority shall
rule.-N. Y. World.

"Well, just buried a slative yester.

Absurd idea OF Early Rising.

In South America, where the break
Vast is invariably served at a late hour,
early coffee is q necessity. Little
cakes made OF grated cheese and cas-
sava -four, the Brazilian arrowroot Of
commerce, are usually served with COT
fee, and are said to be peculiarly deli
cious. The idea that there is any special
virtue in early rising, unless the work
of the individual demands it, is especial
ly absurd. There are many people who
need the sleep after the daylight, while
there are others who do not. Tho
amount of sleep each individual re-
anires is a matter Of temperament, as
any intelligent physician will tell you.

Why is it that the whole world may
be defied to beat good Irish horse for
the hunting field? Sir Richard Green
Price has an answer to the question. 1t
is that the Irish hunter is brought up to
be handy. Irish gates are few and far
between, and he has to jump banks or
walls for his daily living before he is
even weaned. He is, moreover, han
died regularly and when young he is
seldom overbitted or everridden be-
fore he comes into the market. Finally,
from the nature of the soil he has
bone, size and conGtitution-qualit
which rarely fail him when the higher
feeding of an English stable puts a
finish on his form and manners. Sir
Richard assures us that there is no fear
that Ireland is going to fail us in the
matter of hunters. A recent tour of in
spection has convinced him that she is
breeding them every year in greater
excellence and abundance. - Chicago

them in all their efforts to make the
social life of the Crown as perfect as
possible. She stands the exactions OF
her life wonderfully. In all sorts OF

Failure Of the Plan to Rob the People Of

plated in the impeachment Sof Andrew

all Republicans had beeR as malignant

orable and conscientious men in that
party the people owe, in part, their de-
llyerance on this occasion as on the
previous one To them, therefore, no
less than to the solid phalanx OF Demo
Gratis who so heroically resisted
tyranny and usurpation at the very
threshold, the thanks Of the country
are due.
1t is difficult at single glance TO
comprehend the full villainy of the
bayonet election bill now defeated,
which was to have been tho
mightiest product of rejuven-
ated monopoly Republicanism. This
bill was born Of the necessities of
monopoly rule, of the endorsements
of detected vote buyers and Of the over
weening desire of fat flyers and soap
peddlers and blocks OF five manipu-
lators to reach election results by
cheaper and quicker methods than they
had yet employed. 1t was a magnificent
device to relieve the robber trusts of
the necessity of buying elections and to
compel the people through official ma
chinery to pay for their own corrup-
ton and enslayement. 1t would have
built up standing army of Republican
party mercenaries under the control of
John l. Davenport and others Of his ilk
who would have been responsible to no
body, who would have served for life,
using public funds unstintingly for
party ends, and who would have had
absolute power so to intimidate and dis
qualify voters and falsify the count as
to make it forever impossible for the
American people to elect a Congress
that did not echo the demands Of tariff
greed and plumber. In a word, it was
the measure to which Thomas B. Reed,
the impudent usurper OF the House of
Representatives, as yet unrebuked by
the people, referred in his Pittsburgh
speech last October when he said with
splendid fnsolence: 1--WE must do our
own registration, our own counting,
our own certifcation."
The wickedness of this attempt upon
the liberties OF the people becomes the
more apparent when it is considered
that there was absolutely no demand
for 1t save from the professional cleo,
ton crooks like Davenport and Dudley
and the monopolies that keep them in
funds. The pretense that it was in the
