AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUNG MEN,

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUNG MEN.
Regret is often expressed that so few young
men of intelligence and high character go
into politics." as the phrase is; or in other
words, devote a share of their time and energy
to the public service through the agency of a
party organization. 1t is unfortunately true,
and especially in largo cities, that compare
lively few of those WAC are best qualified by
education, by the habit of thought and the
ability to take time from work and recreation
do manifest a keen interest in public affairs.
Their common excuse here in New York is that
the political machines would not value their CO.
operation: that their efforts would be wasted
and their lives made uncomfortable.
There is some foundation for this view of
tho matter in the experience OF individuals.
Any one person may reason that others will not
combine with him. and that alone he cannot
hope to accomplish anything and he can ex-
cuse and console himself with this reflection
50 long as he fails to remember that thousands
may be, and probably are in the same mood.
and that il is his duty to set the leayen of his
example at work Ii any Of our readers are
willing to admit that this is a rational way to
look at the matter we desire to 90 further and
assure them that now is the best time to begin.
The best because il is the first. and also because
the outlook offers them reasonable hope OF
real usefulness. The -R-pubiican party has
selected with singular unanimiy as its leader
in this campaign a young man who is worthy

Sanitary Superintendent Ewing returns from
Europe in the belief that the sanitary methods in
New-York are an advance upon those in the
great cities abroad. Mayor Grant will be in
terested TO learn, however, that for STRENGTHENING
not so much can be said. Speaking Of the streets
Of Paris, DR.. Ewing says that they are cleaner
than New-YOrk's because the pavements are bet
ter and the cutters are more frequently flushed.
AIavor Grant is on record as afl.ming that our
streets would compare fayOrably for cleanness
with those Of European cities; and Commissioner
Gilrov is on record against the flushing of the

to abandon the work before entering upon it.

Tomorrow the Democratic State Convention
meets in Saratoga but the principal news re-
garding the situation is thus far to be obtained
in Albany. A conference of Democratic mag
mates was held there yesterday, Richard Croker,
Hugh j. Grant, Edward Murphy, jr., William
+. Sheehan and David b. Hill being present, and
according to our adyices the chief work of the
convention was then and there performed. How
ever Mr.. Hill may regard the matter, the nomi-
nation Of Mr.. Flower is seemingly inevitable.
Ii is somewhat surprising to learn that the Gov
ernor showed some desire to cast overheard Mr..
Shcehan, who has set his heart on the Lieuten-
ant-Govemorship and has been indefatgable in
his service Of Mr.. Hill. That is ingratitude Of
the basest sort Shcchan, though, seems to have
made his calling and selection sure in spite of
the Governor. The naming of the ticket, as
well as the adoption Of platform, will, so far as
the convention is concerned, be merely per-
functOry.

A few months before his death IT,
late Emperor William received a we'll
known d~iplomatist in private audience.
The statesman had been touring among
the northern provinces and the Emperor
listened with gratified attention to his
account of the progress made in that
portion of his dominions. Among other
places he mentioned was Lubbock, where,
he said, the house was still pointed out
in which Moltke had lived after he left
the Danish service. At the mention Of
the Field Marshal's name the Kaiser
broke in with the following story

and with the lexibility that they pos
sessed in the fresh state, and also for
coloring or bronzing the plants thus pre-
pared.
The plants having been perfectly freed
from dust, and washed, are immersed
for two or three days in a strong solu-
ton of crystals Of soda. The strength
of the solution usually employed.is eight
cen ounce of crystals to one quart OF
water. Sometimes It IS advantageous to
add a little caustic lixivium.
The plants are dried between cloths
for three CT four hours, and are then
CREASED either by immerslng chem in

with the hand with olive oil.
