1t is not too soon TO remind the voters of New.
York and Brooklyn that tomorrow is the first
day Of registration, and to urge upon them the
importance of attending early to this annually
recurring duty. There are four days for regis
tration, to be sure, but there is no wiser policy
than to register at the first opportunity. The
election this fall is one of great importance, and
it behOoves every voter to prepare himself to do
his duty at the polls. Mr.. Fassett journeyed
good many miles in order to register on Saturday,
and set an example that multitude Of Republicans
ought to initiate, though Tor most of them

Surely this is the age OF college men. The
new Stanford University has opened fulliedged
educational institution even regards the num-
Der OF students. Harvard, Yale and Princeton
and all the lesser colleges show vastly increased
entering classes. Within few years Princeton
freshman classes have about doubled in numbers
In 1885 Harvard matriculated into the academic
department less than 275 as freshmen. the
largest class up to that year IN the history Of the
university. The incoming class this fall, accord
ing to unofficial estimates, Is 450 strong. Yale's
attendance has been increasing rapidly for several
years. and our own Columbia here In New-York is
making swift strides in the general advance.
1t has been sneerngly said by unSind critics
Of our colleges that the greatest numbers OF
young men go to that university which is most
successful in athletics, that they now enter col
lege 10 take four-years' in baseball, foot
ball and rowing. But the college records show
that in all institutions which progressive with
the educational spirit of the age the increased at
tendances relatively the same whether their
dergraduates are winning or losing athletic con-
tests 1t seems only fair TO assume that the early
struggles of American schools and colleges are now
being richly rewarded that never before have
the youth of this country had opportunities
ample and attractive to get thorough college
training, and that now more than at any previous
time fathers and sons appreciate the educational
advantages which are offered to all men OF all
classes

1.-THE Boston Journal" comes to us in new
shape but the features Of an old friend are not
concealed by the change of form. AS evidence OF
its desire to be up with the times it has abandoned
the cumbrous blanket sheet and presents itself in
eight good-szed pages, with clear type and an
attractive appearance. In spirit, however, it is
the old Journal still It will remain the chief
New. England representative of sterling and ag
gressive Republication. We congratulate The
Journal" upon the signs Of prosperity which its
new form and new presses indicate, and hope for
its increased usefulness and power in behalf of
the good causes for which it has stood so many
years. The changes which have taken place since
Mr. Stephen O'Meara assumed the general man.
agement have all been in the direction of progress

A milder and more beautiful day than yester-
day seldom comes to New-York in October. The
weather was more like that of August than of fall
Fortunately it was Sunday so that the great mass
of the citys population could enjoy the bright
sunshine and the clear air. In the papers of yes
terday there were dispatches telling of heavy
snOwfalls in the Dakotas. Here in New-York
men longed for straw hats and the garments of
summer, while women appeared in light gowns
and gay colors as in spring. Our climate is mys-
terious enough in its phenomena TO make it u
series of delightful changes. We are told that
we are Ito have a severe winter. If that prophecy
prove true we cannot complain that we were not
most generously favored in the fall.

EXCELLENT AMERrcAy.MADE CARPETS.

Twenty-Five years ago the carpet manufacturing IN
goods were poor, the designs borrowed from France
and England and no dealer thought for an instant OF
admitting any but imported carpets into the higher
rrndes of his stock. Now there mills here as
large As the largest in England. Every year many Jf
tie foremost English manufacturers send to America
for designs and every day carpets are being turned
ont by American looms in coiors aud designs whose
artistic excellence not approached by the finest
foreign made goods Of decade ago. All this about
the benefcent results Of the protective system and
mucb more as well, will be told the iGquTing visitor

a spccalty of carpets Of domestic manufacture. and
their stock represents the best and latest work in TINS
field Of industry being rich IN the new tints and
patterns which are this year Of unusual merit
The second floor Of the store is filed with body
and tapestry Brussels, Of vevety smOothncss and soft
colors-pcachbow old rose, and ivory. These carpets
have all the beauty OF the English Administers, and
surpass them in originality and effectiveness OF de
sign The visitor viii be even more delighted by the
velyets ROYAL WlltOns and ADMINISTERS OF domestic
make whose excellence is easier to appreciate from
the fact that they placed side by side with the
same grade Of English carpets, and most favorable
opportunity is afforded for satisfactory comparison
