OF Mr.. Fassett it has been well said that his
future must be judged by his past No possible
fault can be found with this proposition by Mr..
Fassett's friends even if they are only permitted
to call the Mugwump press as witness to what
his past has been In that event, the evidence VIII
show that high as is the standard of Republican
Gubernatorial nominations in this State, MI. fas-
sett sustains and even advances it: that MS
ability has been abundantly demonstrated In his
leadership of his party on the floor of the Senate
for several years." that he is intimately familiar
with the laws of the State' that he has specia!
fitness to pass upon the wisdom and validity" OF
municipal laws that he has almost uniformly
worked for right ends and sound legislation and
finally that he has the further virtue of personal
integrity and an unstained reputation This IS
the past, according TO his opponents, by which he
MUST be Judged

It is difficult 70 give credence TO the reports

British Government had taken possession OF The
Turkish island OF Mitylene, which lies about Sixty
miles distant from the mouth of the Dardanelles
and to a certain extent commands the southern
entrance to the Straits seizure of Ottoman
territory in time Of peace, and without any pre-
vious warning or declaration OF war, would con-
stitute one of the most gross attractions OF inter

England of all her sacred pledges and obligations

There is reason to believe that Commissioner
l,eatties DAYS arc numbered-that Is, that II
he does not resign soon OF his own accord, he
will be deposed from the office in which he has
displayed such conspicuous untitness and IN
competency. There is no question that Beattie
has lamentably failed to fulfil his pledge TO keep
the streets clean in case he secured the big ap-
preparation he asked for last year. His fellow
Tammany officials are denouncing him. Tax
Commissioner Bankers strong words were sup
plementei yesterday by the emphatic declara-
tion of the PRESIDENT of the Health Board that
the condition of the streets is menace to public
health. If Beattie is prudent, he will rot face

It has been taken for granted that David B.
Hill is the potter who will mould the clay of the
Saratoga convention. Nevertheless, there are
some interesting rumors filing about the Springs
and around Albany to the effect that the boss has
been bossed. They say that he doesn't want
Flower for Governor. nor yet Sheehan for Lieuten-
ant-Governor. and that those gentlemen will be
nominated, not by and with his advice and consent
but in spite Of him. Assuming that this painful
report is true it is evident that Hill has begun to
unravel. But whether true or not. the fact
mains that machine politician Of this sort is liable
10 be overthrow at any moment. Without moral
power without patriotic instincts, looking out
solely for numler one, his downfall is only a
question Of time. The only wonder is that he has
lasted so long

defeat for Governor will be named at Saratoga to-

IL is pretty well known that the islands in Lake
George and Lower Saranac and Raquette Lakes
are the property of the State, and that wouldbe APP

not so well known that the State authorities
offer these islands for the free use Of campers
In report to the Forest Commission. Warden Fox
says There are few campers on the State
islands this season. but not so many as there
should be. in view Of the advantages which they
offer This is largely due to the fact that the
public are unaware that they are welcome to
those grounds. SO he advises that ample notice

Tammany is on top At least it will be if the
action of the State Committee is ratified by the
Saratoga Convention. Under the influence OF
Richard Croker the State Committee decided
last evening to seat all the Tammany delegates
from this city, throwing out the County De-
mocracy and the Voorhis Democacy entirely.
This is a bold step. The convention will not
lndorse it without a struggle, in which Boss
McLaughlin's men viii do their best to abate
Tammanys pretensions. Altogether the pres
pects are for some lively sessions at Saratoga.

The school year opened in this city yester-
day and vast army of boys and girls resumed
their studies. In numbers this army is estl-
mated at 100000. Unfortunately, some of the
schools were not in readiness to receive pupils,

repairs in season. 1t is not the first time this
has happened, but the Beard of Education does
not learn wisdom by experience. The fact is

and taking no account of the occurrence
of volcanic and other exceptional phe-

A New Explosive.

Ecraste, new explosive, is the inven-
ton of two Austrian engineers named
Siersch and Kubin. It's power is stated
to be in relation to dynamite as lOOto 70,
and the new explosive is said to be capa-
BILE Of being carried from place to place
with perfect safety. 1t emits a thick,
black smoke, and the detonating noise is
louder than that of gunpowdsr. but
shorter, sharper, and clearer. A bombshell
loaded with it explodes with such terrible
results that experiments against palisades
100, $50, and 800 men, at
ranges of 300, 75O, and 1900 meters, arc
said to have recorded marks on every di-
vision Of the palsade standing for a
soldier. No details of the composition OF
this new explosive are known, as the
secret of the invention is being closely
guarded by the Austro-Hungarian war
office.
