MP Hill NOMINATED.

tt was perfectly in accordance with tne h1-
ness of things that convention which ap-
nlauded the entrance of Delegate Hubert v.
Thompson. of 1899 notOriety, should turn

ernor. 1t took body low of tone and regard.
less of public sentiment to do either. one Oh
the unfortunate characteristics OF the Demo-
cratic party is the certainty with which IL goes
wrong when there is special need OF lts gong
right.
This signal misfortune is illustrated IN the
choice of so weak and vulnerable person as
MIR. Hill as a candidate for Governor In THIS tue
first wear of a Democratic restoration. IL was
clearly incumbent upon the Democracy OF TIC
chief Commonwealth of all to hold up the HANDS
of the President, to support the reform pohcy
with which his Administration is credited, by
preseuting for the Office of Chief Executive
their strongest and best man. But tins New
York Democratic Convention, dominated, as
the gatherings of that party usually are, by its
unwise and reckless elements, names DAVID d.
Hill as its standard bearer. To affirm that as
an original proposition no level-headed
citizen of New York would ever nave
thought of Mr. Hill in connection Win
the chief public position in the State IS the
simple truth. He is small pattern OF man
who gaining the Executive chair by an accident
has steadily used his official influence to con-
Time himself in the seat, although he
must realize that it is many sizes toe
large for him. Well aware that the ONCE
would never seek him, he has sought the Office
in the most urdIgnlfied manner. not hesltatlng
TO pull his wires at fairs and funerals. lie thus
has demonstrated to men of sense with old
fashioned ideas of propriety that it would be a
serious mistake to crafty his ambition.
But there are graver objections to Mr. Hin
which the progress of the canvass will fully
develop. His course during his brief career as
Governor has been that of a demagogue, more
intent upon making himself solid with Demo-
cratic bosses like Mclaughlin than upon pro-
noting the common welfare. His action on
the BIooklyn reform measures the census ana
tbe State Board of Health appropriation
established that he was unworthy oil
the public confidence. His career as a
member of the Legislature in 1871 fur
pishes another cogent reason why he ought to
be defeated in his present canvass. That
Legislature by common consent was one OF the
most corrupt and extrayagant which ever as
sembled. 1t struck down the registry law,
1t upheld the Enc outrage. 1t
passed appropriations of appalling size, 1t deliy-
cred this metropolis bound hand and foot into
the hands of I weed and his fellOw-plunderers.
Mr. Hill during this session was the plant tool
of tie Democratic bosses who were then at the
fore, just as he now is the tool of Mclaughlin.
No such man has n right to aspire to the Gov
ernorship of New York. The convention that
nominated him committed an amazing bldnder.

Yesterday was great day for the local base
ball clubs. The New-York team defeated
Buffalo while Rhode Islands representative
club won victory over Chicago's strong nine.
Thus the New-Yor club gains two points on
its Western opponent, and betters its chances
for the League pennant. Up to yesterday our
local club expected to have to win all four
games which they have arranged to play sOoD
in Chicago. Now the New Workers need to
win only three, and still they might get the
championship.

The average American probably does not
realize how dangerous great crowd is. In this
country, even in rough neighborhoods, thou
sands of people often get together in close
quarters without harm. So orderly is every
body that the fear Of death is the last thing one
thinks Of when he starts out to see great
spectacle In Europe, however, large
crowd seldom is collected without some one
being hurt or trampled TO death. So simple an
incident as a gathering to give serenade to
Nilsson in Stockholm has just resulted in the
death of seventeen persons and serious injuries
to twenty -nine others. The reason for the
difference between Continental and American
crowds may possibly be found in the fact that
the American carries his habit of self-govern-
ment always with him.

In the Dead Of Night.

Most people imagine that house plants
poison the air of a room by the exhalation
of carbonic acid during the night. That this
is popular fallacy, and that it should be
speedily consigned to the well-peopled limbo
of "Vulgar Errors, was demonstrated not
long since by Professor Kedzie Of the Michi-
gan Agricultural College. To make the
test as conclusive as possible, instead of
taking the air from a room containing few
plants only, the professor gathered it from
the college greenhouse, where more than
5000 plants were growing. The room had
been closed for more than twelve hours and
if the plants exhaled carbonic acid to An
injurious extent, the analysis of air from
such a room would certainly have disclosed
the fact Three specimens of this imprison-
cd air were gathered shortly before sunrise,
from different parts of the room, the analysis
of which gave Ali, 400. 400 parts of car
bonic acid in 10000 of air, or an average Of
4.03 in 10000, while the outdoor air con-
tanned parts in 10000, thus proving that
the air in the greenhouse was better than
"Dure country air.

1t may not generally be knowr thai tho
relations between the existence of large
forests, and the maintenance of warm
Climate, are of the most intimate kind and
the climate of country in which forests
ale cut down gradually exhibits patent and
appreciable signs of change. In Australia,
the destruction of woods has already affected
the climate in certain localities; and measures
are being taken to replant the soil with fresh
trees of young and rapid growth, and to re-
store the favoring influences so highly

Hereditary Crime.

Some Of the most remarkable statistics
regarding hereditary disposition to crime
that have ever been collected were lately
produced by DR.. Harris at a recent meeting
of the State Charities Aid Association. |.
appears that the attention of DR.. Harris was
attracted to a county on the upper Hudson,
In New York, in which the proportion OF
crime and poverty to the entire population
was extraordinary great, there being about
one criminal or pauper to every ten inhab'
italts. The recurrence of certain names
3snong the ist Of unfOrtmates also excited
his interest, and lead him to genealogical
