everybody knows-and not to know William

publicity and would not even be doorkeeper

But in the bright lexicon of this particular youth
there is no such word as fail when any sacred
call to duty rings in his ears. He was not only

The opening of bids for ocean mail service
took place at Washington yesterday, twelve bids
being received for eleven different routes. This
result will be gratifying TO the friends OF the
new law and of the new policy thus introduced
1t is an encouraging fact that new lines of steam
ships will be brought into existence thereby.
As some bids had been delayed it is likely that

The Republican candidates for Aldermen from
the Twenty-third and Twenty-fOurth Wards are
men of excellent reputation. H. J.. Scholl, the
candidate in the Twenty-third Ward, is business
who has lived for many years in the ward and is
thoroughly acquainted with it's needs w. H.
Schott, of the Twenty-fourth Ward is well known
among merchants engaged in the shipping industry.
They are both above the average Alderman in
pacity and intelligence, and would make useful
members of the Board. The sentiment against
Purroy and Tammany Hall is so strong in the
northern wards that both of the Republican candi-
dates for Aldermen should be elected.

Seventy miles all hour was the time made Tor
a part Of the distance by the new express train
on the New-York Central Railroad in Its run
TO Buffalo yesterday. The whole 4lO mics
were covered in hours and 40 minutes The
running of this train is a matter OF universal
interest since this is the fastest passenger ser
vice in the world. Naturally other railroads
will be stimulated by the Centrars experiment.
and general quickening of time by express
trains NAV be locked for. That such great
speed can be made in safety and is to be
regular thing is a striking illustration OF the
progress made by the science of railrOading.
Register Fitzgerald caused surprise the other
day by asking for a smaller allowance from the
Board of Estimate for next year than he receives
this. If he had done the square thing, though,
he would have reduced his estimate still more.
The returns which the Register has to file each
month show that according to the number OF
searches made one man could easily do the work
for which seven draw liberal salaries from the
CITY treasury This is sample Of the way IN
which Tammany Hall bleeds the taxpayers. Only
by DESTROYING Tammany root and branch can
economy be made TO take the place Of extrava-
gance in the city government.
The tricks and devices which have made Tam
MANY Hall notorious find their counterpart III a
smaller way in the city Of Troy, where Edward
Murphy. ir., is the Democratic boss. A few
DAYS ago a gang Of repeaters was taken up The
river from this city in order to swell the ma
iority that Murphy is anxious TO roll up. a
ridi,llous story has been circulated that these
men were Republicans, and that their detec-
ton in the act of registering was blow to the
Republicans OF. Troy. This is pure nonsense,
for the proof is plain that it was scheme OF
Murphy's contriying, and was defeated through
a member Of MS own party whose enmity he
has incurred
The first political meeting held in the new
Madison Square Garden was a stupendous sue
cess. careful estimate-not a wild guess
places the number Of persons in the vast audi
ence at 10, 900, and its enthusiasm was in keep
ing with it's size. In the great gathering and
in the splendid speeches there was the sure
premontion of victory week hence. The
meeting was presided over by ex-senator Miller,
and the other speakers were Senator HiscOck,
Congressman Payne and ex-Collector Erhardt.
The speeches were worthy Of the occasion, and
of the many columns Of space which we give
TO them. Amid so much that was good it is
hard to select anything for special cOmmenda-
ZION bat perhaps no counsel is more needed by
tbe Republicans of New-York City than that
given by Mr. Miller when he said that the Re-
subicans of the country districts were prepared

Judge Dugro has decided that when the law
says that a citizen must live for thirty days in
an election district in order to be entitled to
vote it means precisely that. Tammany election
inspectors have been proceeding on the theory
that thirty days residence in an Assembly Dis
trict was sufficient, decision by Judge Patter-
son to this effect being quoted to sustain that
position. Judge Dugro-to his credit be it said
distinctly stated that politics had nothing to
do with his decision, which is that the other in
depreciation Of the law is erroneous. Republi-
can election inspectors should carefully note this
ruling in favor of the position they have taken
and see to it that no votes who has not
lived thirty days in his Election District.

Un.American journals with English tendencies
always fail to uphold what is most admirable and
patriotic in British policy. Does any one suppose
that England would suffer sailors from one OF Its
warships to be butchered in a foreign port With
out sternly demanding reparation and sending out
a feet to enforce it2 Yet when an American Ad
ministration acts in this good old English way
the Anglomaniacs among us put their tongues In
their cheeks and complain that it is an un-Amer-
lean and uncivilized procedure-a wretched bit Of
cheap Presidential politics!

George w. Plunkitt, whose return to official
life would be disgrace to the city, is opposed in
his candidacy for the Senate in the XIth District
by NJ. F. Fenton who has the support not only Of
Republicans but of many former members of the
Labor party and independent citizens. There has
usually been Democratic majority in this district,
but the feeling against Tammany Hall is so earnest
in the northern part of the district that Mr.. Fen
toms prospects of election better than had
been anticipated. He has always borne good
reputation among his neighbors, and the conduct
of his present canvass has won him many new
friends His election will be benefit TO the
district, which has been poorly represented at
Albany for several years.

The IXth Assembly District in Brooklyn was
lost last year TO the Republicans. to whom it
normally belongs, by a mistake which has not
been repeated The Republicans have nominated
this year Lawrence f. Malone. lawyer of good
reputation, who has the advantage of being a
nephew Of the Rev Sylvester Malone. Mr.. Malone
is an excellent speaker and a man in every way
qualified to make good Assemblyman. His OPP
ponent has the reputation of being good fellow,
and little else. Mr.. Malone should he heartily
supported The district has Republican majority
Of $500 or 5000, but the Democrats captured
it last year by less than 200 plurality. The fact
that Mr.. Malone is almost sure of winning should
not make the voters of the XIIIth. XIXth and
XXth Wards any less vigilant and earnest in sup
porting their excellent nominee for the Assembly.

of fact The man who knows that in 1886 there
were over 100000 seals by actual count on
our islands while this year there were less than
900, 900, and who says, in the face of the enor-

contents of the sitting-room were re- moved to the roof. Tables, chairs, rugs, bric-a-brac, etc., were arranged on the housetOp. It was to be a genu- inc Japanese tea. The guests were notified to appear in costume. Indeed, some of the ladies were resplendent in gorgeous dresses, and one or two went so far as to initiate the Japanese make up. The affair was grand success and is likely to be repeated before the summer is over
 It is not yet too late to nave a roof garden this season, although the time to get plants ready is in June. Boxes should be made to fit the edge of the roof. The size of each box may be from twelve inches to fourteen inches in depth, twenty inches wide, and six feet in length. Boards should be placed underneath to protect the roof. Then the boxes need pcrforations at the bottom for drainage, and to be filled carefully with sand, fine loam and mold.
 1t is desirable to have plants that make good show. Scarlet geraniums, verbenas and blossoming lobelias and heliotrope bring color and fragrance from the beginning. Seedlings well started and in good shape can be had of the florist, and will show pleasing re- suits in a few weeks.
 There are a number of flowers which are reasonably sure to produce an abundance of flowers. One of the best of it's kind is Drummond's phlox. Petunias and merigolds are hardy, and flourish vigorously on the roof. Portu- lacas lend color, and they can be so ar ranged that the colors vary from pale yellow to deep bronze, or from royal purple to delicate pink. Roses are more difficult to cultivate, but few Jacqueminots will add color, and fill the air with perfume.
 Besides, it is desirable to have se- cluded nook or corner which has the ap- pearance of tropical luxuriance. To accomplish that, one can fix up an arbor overrun with scarlet beans, morning glories, etc., banked on either side by tall palms, dracanas and other tropical plants.
 Amid such surroundings many cozy tea party can be enjoyed on the house. tops during July and August In truth, the roof is about as agreeable a resort as one can wish for, with it's breezes, it's flowers and it's outlook. If the faintest zephyr is waited from the ocean you are sure to get whiff of it on the housetop. The situation is a most in-

together it was desirable change and relief from the smells that rise from the dusty streets below.
 One corner of the roof seemed to be regular bower of vines and climbing plants. Morning glories, scarlet beans and asters overran an arbor made of heavy wire. Beneath all this mass of green and color rustic chair was al most hid from view.
 The other corner of the housetop had been arranged for solid comfort. The roof was covered with Spanish mating, and in convenient places lay several fine rugs. A pretty Japanese screen shut off the entrance to a tent, the in- side of which contained kitchen uten- sils. Thus protected, the mistress of the household brewed tea on an alcohol stove. Two or three low-sized tables were decorated with bouquets and dainty pieces of china and cut glass.
 After inspecting the roof-the sum- mer tea room, as our friend liked to name tive fell to discussing the house. top as a place to invite your friends on summer night.
 ''Where," said he, in a tone of in quiry, ''where can you find a cooler, more comfortable place on hot night than on the roof? Here you can be famed by every gentle breeze that blows, and here you can drink in the ozone that comes flying over the city from the ocean. New Workers who are left in town in summer miss great deal when they fail to utilize their housetops.''
 s'Why,'' he continued, stonly to-day was reading a western correspondents account of New York during the warm weather" And then he read aloud something in this style: ''There is little comfort, little enjoyment in town when the mercury climbs up in the sos. The pavement beneath your feet is like hot coal. What shall we say of those days when the steaming air is like an invisi- ble sponge, when walls and pavements emit waves of reflected heat? In grill ing weather the metropolis is a good place to flee from.''
 'That may all be so, but the writer evidently left the roof out of his &C., count Those who are obliged to stay in town in July and August have a chance to enjoy summer night comfort. Here are no hot waves, no bad smells, no heat of gas, no gay and festive flies. and besides you can have the enjoyment of flower garden"
 And now a. few guests began to ar rive. The children were marched off to beh by the tyrannical maid. A tall pi- ano lamp of polished brass was drawn up to where we sat and it shed mel low light. Around the arbor ana in
