Women are rapidly coming to the
front in educational matters. A late
New York despatch says: emily
James Smith, who has been appointed
dean of Barnard college, by virtue of her
position will be the head of the move
ment for the higher education of women
in this city. She will occupy place of
high prominence. In measure, her po-
sition among women will be like that of
President Low among men. AS Barnard
college is part of Columbia college it
cannot have president of its own. But
the place of dean will be very like that
of president. Some idea of the impor-
tance which the trustees attach to
this place may be gained, when it is said
that for two years they have been look
ing about for woman to occupy the
place. After looking over the field very
thoroughly, Miss James Smith was de-
cided upon. The trustees have decided
that the young woman shall be known
always as Mrs. James Smith, and it is
the new deans own wish that it should
be so. She was christened Emily James

WHY Take the Wabash

For ST LOUIS?
Because it is the shortest line; the
best equipped line; runs free chair cars,
buffet Pullmans, and gives you ample
time in Kansas City for supper.
For TOLEDO or DETROIT?
Because ii is the shortest line; avoids
transfer across the city in case you are
going further east, and makes close
connections with all trunk lines.
For NEW YORK or BOSTON?
lrdRin dRihneqESea qESea i thPaas has solid thr9ngh service
NIAGARA FALLS; gives forty min
utes' stop at the Falls at seasonable time
in the morning.
For ALL OTHER EASTERN
POINTS?
Because its service is uniformly good
and YOU can make no mistake in asking
for tickets VIA THE WABASH.

The Chicago Inter Ocean, that great
Republican newspaper, has not suffered
by the recent era Of financial depression
but has gone right along adding to its
foundation stOnes-a large and substan-
tial circulatiou-with stride that un-
der the circumstances is truly wonder
ful. At one time additions to the sub
scription list wsre coming at the rate of
500 to 100 peTday for the daily issue,
and as high as | SEQ per day for the
Weekly Iuter Ocean. The result of
this is to place it easily at the head of
the list OF great Chicago newspapers.
1t is certainly Il good, clean, family

Notice to Investors.

There was never time in the history
of our country when the demand for in
ventions and improvements i'll the arts
and sciences generally was so great as
now. The cOnveniences of mankind in
the factory and work shop, the house
hold. on the farm, and in official life.
require continual accessions to the APP
purtenances and implements of each
in order to save labor, time and expense.
The political change in the administra-
tion of government does not affect the
progress of the American inventor, who
being on the alert and ready to perceive
the existing deficiencies, does not per-
nit the affairs of government to deter
him from quickly conceiving the rem
edy to overcome existing discrepancies.
Too great care can not be exercised in
choosing competent and skillful attor-
ney to prepare and prosecute an appli-

A new Democratic organization has
been formed in Denver called the Jack
son club, and a proposition is on foot to
bring within its fold all the other clubs
claiming allegiance to Democracy. The
proposition is one that should commend
itself to all Democrats of Whatsoever
faction or personal atliliation, through
out the State. If Colorado Democrats
ever expect to again make showing in
State politics they have got topull them
selves together and present solid front
to the political enemy. Had the party
been united in the fall of '92 Colorado
would not now be suffering under the
Waite blight and the extra session
ulcer. The State Democracy has got
rid of its Jonah lin the person of Mr.
Patterson and viewed from this dis
tance from the scene of action The
HERALD sees no serious obstacle i'll the
way of united party. The name
Jackson club-possesses talismanic
sound. Let all factions rally under its
banner.

The Denver Sun in its indiscriminate
way hits our representative unneces-
sarily in referring to him rs a member
of the smelling committee" We don't
know much about this committee,
which is supposed, we believe, to devise
ways and means of embursing the mem
bers of the extra session for their ser
vices, but we know that it is matter
of record that Mr.. Lowell voted for i'm
mediate adjournment on the assembling
of the Legislature and on every subse-
quent occasion when the question of ad
journment came up. 1t is all right to
castigate the lower house on general
principles, but individual members like
Mr.. Lowell who have favored putting
stop to the farce, should receive due
credit for their efforts in that line.

A Tariff Commission.

The suggestion comes from Newark,
N. j., that the tariff be taken out of
politics. This is not new idea, but it
now assumes for the first time some
practical form, with an outline for pro-
cedure by Mr.. Samuel b. Archer, who
for the full and proper advocacy of his
suggestions has published the first num-
Der of a weekly paper called The Tariff
Commission.
As the name of the paper implies, the
idea of Mr.. Archer is that the tariff of
the United States be under the entire
control of commission of fifteen mem
bers. This commission, it is suggested,
should be divided into three parts of
tive members each, one part to repre-
sent the government, one to represent
labor. and the third to represent the
manufacturing and the commercial in
terests of the country. !.
Our new tarifl contemporary explains
its ideas very completely, and we ad-
wise all our readers to send for copy of
the first number The subject is one
fraught with the utmost importance.
There can be no doubt that the estab
lishment of permanent protective
tariff, that would not be subject to con-
tinuous petty tinkering at the hands of
incompetent malefactors, would tend to
the progress and advancement of the
American nation to a degree that we
have hitherto never experienced. Bust
ness could be established permanently
and continue in an even course ire
spective of politics and the fear of what
may be the result of our periodical con-
gressional elections. Much can be said
in favor of the project, which should not
be lightly cast aside.

Balfonr, the new gold camp in South
Park, is forging to the front with every
indication of permanency. One min
ing firm put twenty-five men to work
the other day, showing that there must
be suiliciency of the yellow metal to
justify the expense consequent on the
employment OF a large force of men.
The Democrats of Mississippi set the
proper pace when they required the
asprants for Senator Walthall's seat in
the United States senate to pledge
themselves in favor of the free coinage
of silver, first, last and all the time
Referring to this matter the Atlanta
Constitution pertinently remarks ::
There is not a state in the South
where a candidate for any representa-
tive office would have a chance of sue
cess if he could not answer in the af-
iirmative the questions propounded to
the senatorial aspirants by the Missis'
sippi legislature"
