The Hovdrd Standard, a monthly bulletin
published by the students Of Howard Uni
versity, Washington, D. c., devotes it's
March number to the medical department
OF the school.
In 1857, when he was head OF the Bureau
for Freedmen, Refugees and Abandoned
Lands, General o. o. HOWARD planned
a school Of theology for freedmen. The
SCOPE OF the plan was extended to provide
for the establishment Of a university, with
departments OF theology, law and medicine
In addition to the preparatory and college
branches.
The medical school was started In 1868
with three students; this year the enroll
ment IL more than 200. one-fifth that Of the
university. The administration now re-
ouires a faculty Of forty instructors In the
eub-departments Of pharmacy and dem
tistry. Since 1868 there have been matricu-
lated 1900 students, OF whom esA have taken
degrees in medicine, 1877 in pharmacy and lis
in dentistry-a total OF 9ee.
The university has a general endowment
fund Of SITS, 900 and property valued at
81, 900, 900; but the present equipment is
inadequate to the growing needs Of the
institution. Laboratories are especially
needed.
Appeals for the cause Of education In the
South are many, and for the most part as
worthy as they are ~strenuously urged.
While adding its voice to the chorus, How
ard University proves it's zeal by helping
itself. The medical faculty contributed
$500 as a nucleus for q students loan fund,
and $500 more has been collected from the
alumni. Five thousand dollars is needed
for this purpose. Three new scholarships
OF 500 each are announced, to be assigned
for the next session.

Three Billions of Foreign Commerce.

The total of our foreign commerce,
export and import, first reached the
billion dollar mark in 1872. 1t was 1900,
twenty-eight years later, when it reached
the two billion dollar mark. If the trade
Of the remaining third Of the current
fiscal year maintains the pace of the
elapsed two-thirds the three billion
dollar point will be touched when the
books are closed on the 30th Of next June.
We were nearly a hundred years in
reaching the first stage, tw~enty-eight
years in reaching the second and will
reach, or very nearly reach, the third in
six years. During the last eight months
we have imported more than we i'm
ported during the full year Of 1899 and
have exported a little less than we did
during that year. If we keep up the
pace we shall this year import 81, 200, OOO,-
600 worth Of merchandise and export

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUH-Sfr: In my ex.
perienoe around town a gentleman is a man who
can handle either a bottle OF wine or a pack OF cards
without losing for q second the courtesy, the urban
ity. the kindness and the manliness OF a gentle
man, II has been frequently said in New York
clubs that alcohol and cards ore the surest tests
OF a gentleman. How often have ! observed men
who pretended TO be gentlemen, whose environment
entitled them TO be considered gentlemen, after a
highball or two or a quart OF the hzzy. become
distressing cads, boosters. backbiters, british,
insolent, scurrilous and even obscene,
Just so in cards. Veneer gentlemen betray
themselves around the poker and the bridge whist
table. BY pettish words and acts they easily prove
that they are not thoroughbred losers or winners.
A gentleman accepts good or III fortune with equa-
nimity. By no word or act does he offend the SEN
slbilitles OF those about MIN at the table.
III gentlemen do not drink or gamble. Some
say that no gentleman drinks or gambles That's
another story. JULIAN,

A Scandal East OF suez.

1t was optional with Secretary ROOT
to send to the House OF Representatives
the report of Third Assistant HERBERT
H. d. PIERCE upon the c~onsulates in the
Orient which he inspected. AS origi-
nally drawn the resolution directed"
the Secretary Of State to furnish the
results Of Mr.. PEIRoE's inquiries and OBJ
servations, which were known to be SEN
sational. 1t had leaked out. On March
8 the resolution was amended 30 as to
request compliance III not incompatible
with the public service" Evidently Mr..
Roof did not think the service would be
damagedby the seamyrevelations, except
In one instance, which must have been
u%nprintable, for he suppressed it. Not
only does the Secretary approve OF pub
licity, but he intimates that the tale Of
consular lapses from grace Is not half
told. He really seems glad to let Con-
gress know the worst, as the only way
to bring it to its sense as the accomplish
before the fact.
Who are responsible for vagabond
and grating C~onsuls, loose fish, incom-
petents and raflsh fellows in the service
II not Congressman, whose influence puts
them there, and has kept them East
of Suez," where they recognize no COM
mandments and soorn the business code?
So Secretary Roof let Congress know the
truth, but not all the truth, for, in the
words of ARTEMUs WARD, that would be
80 mulch" Says the Secretary, with
a cynical relish in the equities Of the
affair. "All of these cases show the
necessity Of a regular inspection service
to keep the Department advised whether
the Consuls are doing well or i'll in their
distant stations. An occasional brief
visit like that Of Mr.. PIERCE to a few
oonsulates is quite insufficient"
1t is no violation OF confidence to say
that the Hon. HERBERT II. D. PIERCE is
not a Sherlock Holmes, nor by temper
ament a severe critic. Sharper eyes
would have seen more than he did, and
a shrewder talent for inquisition would
have made the indictment darker. But
he did not have tospyo or ferret; the whole
business East rose at him and dinned
things into his ears. Some Of the black
sheep are out now, but the mischief has
eendone i twill take years Of the square
deal and the simple life to remove the
stain on the national esCutoheon. One
Consul was generally drunk, and had no
morals or business honesty when he was
sober. There are some ugly tales told
about him. The habits Of another we're
disgraceful; everywhere Mr.. PIERCE
heard how bad they were-the man made
even the East smell worse. Another
Consul, a robust sinner, had a list Of
charges against him as long as a trade
catalogue; he carried things with a high
hand; he was a law unto himself; he
bestrode the East like a colossus with a
cinch; the fellow must have taken as
long as LuCIFER to fall. Others none too
good, but having some regard for the
Ten Commandments, are underscored
by Mr.. PEIRcR as not inspiring conf
dence, or, at the best, as not being useful
in their present capacity 1t is clear
the tolerant Third Assistant Secretary
was shocked by the secrets the East
gave up as he passed by.
Let us hope that Congress will take
the lesson to heart.

The Dual Senator.

Psychologists are always interested
In the Hon. BENJAMIN RYAN TILLMAN.
He Is a case, almost a leading case, OF
double personality, Of possession" as
1t would have been called up to the
eighteenth century or later. There is
the normal, acute, courteous, intellectu-
ally well balanced Senator and public
servant, with the salient and engaging
personal qualities that have made him
almost the spoiled child OF the Senate,
but without the bitterness, the violence,
the tendency to impute motives, the
genius of vituperation, most of the
habits of speech derived from the i'm
passioned shindies Of the Palmetto
stump and back country billingsgate.
There Is the subliminal demonio TILL
MAN, jumping up suddenly from under
the threshold of the consciousness and
hurting words as mischievous spirits
are supposed to hurl stones and things
in haunted houses.
Fortunately, the good angel fires the
bad out most of the time. Mr.. TILLMAN
grows in grace every day, and even his
occasional lapses, the peekings OF the
muckle black dell over the threshold,
cannot be censured very gravely. They
have the charm and ~piquanoy Of con-
trast. The Senator's proper person.
atty gets a certain accent from his i'm
proper personality.
Still, the muckle black dell puts things
in the Senator's mouth sometimes.
From the muckle black deil's rictus
came this sneer Tuesday:
Judge HUMPHREY, one Of your immaculate
Federal Judges"
This was rather a sheer at the whole
Federal bench than at Judge Hum
PHREYs, but Mr.. FORAKER defended the
latter. Mr.. TILLMAN denied that he
had "criticised or abused" Judge Hum
PHREYs; he was "only criticising or
lamenting with his jaundiced vision the
condition Of the country"
SO Mr.. TILLMAN's friends must regret
the occasional eruptions Of the muckle
black dell. 1t was Aud Clootie that
sneered at the Federal bench. OF a
part of it the supralimlnal Mr.. TILLMAN
spoke praise:
81 want 10 say here and now that I have faith
In the ability and patriotism and learning Of the
Supreme Court OF the United States. which every
American ought TO have, and I do not believe that
that court will ever declare that Congress is power
less to help the people and relieve them from this
Infamous condition which has been disclosed"
Mr.. FORAKER was glad to hear it. But
he mentioned the fact that within ten
days Mr.. T1LLMAN had said, in effect,
that the people would find a way "to re-
form the Supreme Court" if it didn't hold
that Congress had the power to legislate,
as proposed, on railroad rate regulation.
THAT was a warning" Mr.. TILLMAN
replied, "and l had a right to warn the
court even if / am a cornfield lawyer"
1t was not the cornfeld lawyer that
warned" the Supreme Court. 1t was
the muckle black dell. 1t is important
to keep in mind the two TILLMANs, and
to distribute their respective monologues
and dialogues in the Congressional
Record.
