Give the noH n Chance.

In selecting a man for the office ofjudge adj
vocate- general, Governor CLEVELAND chose
the one "who had greater political claims" {"
than others. Strange as it may appear, certain
reformers in the empire state are dissatisfied
with this standard for appointment. Yet as
that eminent democratic reformer, Mr..
TWEED, used to say, "What are they going to
do about it?' 1t cannot be that the advocates
of civil service reform expect his excellency to
ransack the commonwealth in, order to dis
cover those who have the least political claims
for office. This course might meet with the
approval of the, "best class of citizens" but
1t would not be very practical. 1t might be
establishing precedent for better methods
in the administration of civil affairs, but il
cannot be expected of governor who is
only honest and ignorant" The peo'
pie of New York must not expect
too much of their young man. They cannot
hope for the millennium until their guberna.
torial chair is filed by men ofexperience and
distinguished ability. Mr.. SCHURz or Mr.
CURTIS might be capable Of inaugurating a
sort of paradise or Utopia, if they were author
lied to do so by majority of ballots. But
it must be submitted that to hope for supe-
rior excellence of reform from young gen.
tleman who has never served in the reform
school is anticipating entirely too much. Let
the youth have time, and he may develop
into something worthy of worship and adu-
lation. 1t is palpably unfair to demand per-
fection in q novice.

THE NEXT CONVENTION.
A Plan for chooslns Delegntes.


Hon. w. L. Chandler has amended his plan
for the election of delegates to the next re-
publican convention, and at the meeting of
the national committee, to be held in this
city ON the 18th, he will submit the following
for consideration
The republican national convention Of 1884 shall
consist of four delegates at large from each state
and two delegates from each congressional dis.
trict three additional delegates at large for each
republican senator In the then existing congress-
aud three additional district delegates for each re-
publican representative in such congress The
delegates at large iron each state shall be chosen
at n state convention of de.egal,s elected by the
republicans OF the various localities called on not
less than fifteen days published notice, and held
not less than twenty-five nor more than tOrty-tiYe
days before the time Tor the meeting ofthe national
convention. Tue delegates from each dis
trict may be chosen at similar district con-
vention, held within the district ut any time
within the fifteen days next prior to the day OF
the state convention; or If the republicans Of the
district so decide may be chosen py the district
delegates to such convention, and shall be chosen
by such delegates If not elected previous to the
day the state convention.
Two delegates shall be allowed from each terri =
tory and from the District OF Columbia similarly
chosen. Notices OF contests may be given to the
national committee accompanied by full printed
statements OF the grounds OF contest which snail
also be made public; aud preference In tue order
of hearing and determining contests shall be
given by the convention. according TO the dates
of tue reception OF such notices and statements
by the national committee.
Under the operation of this plan there will
be about 1910 delegates in the next conven-
tion, and the representation will be more
equally distributed than under the method
employed for the election of delegates to pre-
vious conventions. Under the old plan ten
democratic districts having an aggregate OF
10000 republican voters had the same voting
strength in convention as ten republican dis.
tricts with 100000 republican voters, This
manifest injustice is sought to be obyiated in
the future.

Mr.. Hayes was like neither General Grant
nor Mr., Arthur. His vanity and egotism
made him like child, and all the attention
he received was as sweet TO him as sugar
teat is to baby. A long reception did not
bore him. He thought it tribute to great
man, and he believed he was one. The airs
he gave himself were painfully funny, for
they said; 81 am the great Hayes-look at

A GIFT Horses Mouth.

From the report of the senate proceedings
yesterday it is learned that Mr.. BROWN laid
before that body a preamble and resolution
adopted by the Georgia legislature directing
the congressional delegation from that state
to use its influence to secure the passage of n
southern educational bill "liberal in its mon
etary provisions and well guarded against
federal interference" The Georgia statesmen
are too modest. They have no objection to
an appropriation of $5OOO0,OOO or such a
matter for the education of their igno-
rant masses, but their proud spirit will
resent any suggestion as to how the money
is to be spent 1t is with difficulty these un-
selfish patriots can repress the indignation
that wells up in their souls at the impudence
of the general government in presuming to
direct the processes by which the last appro-
priaton of $4,0O00OO for improving the Mis-
sissippi is being expended. Left to follow
their own inclinations the prospective bone-
fciaries would not only look gift horse in the
mouth, but they would knock his teeth down
his throat, and boil his bones for soap grease.

The hospital tax on American sailors, men

Where spades grow bright,
And idle swords grow dull:
Where goals are empty,
And where barns are full;
Where field paths are
With frequent feet outworn,
Law court yards weedy,
Silent, and forloru;
Where doctors foot IT,
And where farmers ride;
Where age abounds,
And youth is multiplied;
Where poisonous drinks
Are chased rom every place;
Where opium's curse
No longer leaves trace,
Where these signs are
They clearly indicate

THE AMERICAN ECLIPSE EXPE-

Left New York on March 2nd, and
after being joined by two observers,
sent by the Royal Society of Lon
don, arrived at Callao ON March 20.
Here the U. S. S. Hartford, Captain
Carpenter, commanding, was in wait
ing to convey the expedition to its
destination-Caroline Island. The
Hartford arrived on April goth, and
after the heavy packages of instru-

ceeded to Tahiti. On May 9th, the
Hartford again took the astronomi-
cal party OH board, and arrived at
Hilo OH May oath. A large party Of

day at the Volcano. On May 29th
the Hartford sailed for Honolulu

situated in 10 degrees South latitude
and 1909 Is. w. Longitude. 1t
must not be confounded with the
Caroline Islands which are further
west. 1t is coral atoll some z

are kept ON the island to preserve
the property. Shortly after the Am

frigate L'Eclaireur came in with the
French eclipse party on board. After
landing them she also proceeded to
Tahiti.
The stay on the island was none
too long for the preparations re-
