Dec. 11-It ) not unlikely that the next great exhibition held in the United State, following 19 will be at New York. Chicago had 1U World' Fair In 1893; St. Louie ie preparing (or another next year, so it seems only In keeping with it great growth that New York should have an exhlbtlon. The occasion for such a fair would be the celebration of the 800th anniversary of the discovery of the Hudson River. While the mer chants' here do not believe that a great exhibition would repay them for the cost, there is no doubt that the general public would be delighted with the project. The celebration, It may be said, is essentially that of the discovery of. the Hudson River. Only Incidentally does it include the discovery of the New York harbor, for several navigators entered the harbor and saw the Island of Manhattan before Hudson, but to him belongs the full cred it of being the first to navigate the Hud son as far as the present City of Albany, the site of which he reached on the 18th of September, 1609. The approaching trl centennlal will give the opportunity not only for celebration of the river as a whole, but also the various principal towns along its banks. A new controlling force into the larger affairs of Greater New York la Introduced by the oormolldatlon of the elevated and subway systems. This amalgamation brings Into the foreground two figures that. wl hereafter exert great .influence In the municipality Mr. August Belmont and Mr. John B. McDonald, the former U the financial director of a gigantic combination and the latter as its operat ing and diplomatic representative. As head, of the subway and elevated lines, Mr. Belmont will hold the key to the rapid transit situation. It is a curious fact that the Manhattan Elevated Com pany) which so long fought the construc tion of the underground line and feared so greatly Its competition, is the first to profit by it, for the dividends guaranteed on Its stock are larger than it has been able to pay without subway competition. A matter that requires the prompt at tention of the city officials is the water supply of New York. Mayor Low has appointed a commission to look into the Sources of new supply and propose meas ures for stopping waste. Kven If adopt ed, it will be 1904 before the pending con stitutional amendment will place the city In a financial position to becin theac qiilronVi nt of new wflTersKeds.

Nat urally the demand for their services haa led to greater requirements us to the, efficiency of the applicants.

We can And small place In our hearts for sympathy with the college boy of the class wnoBe cause was pleaded so slo-qi-.mt';jjjy an ir.dlffnar.t woman in one of , the English newspapers the other day. This young fellow. It appears, had been at Harvard, and was taking a further course at Oxford, where bis American mother had been to look over the ac commodations: and she was so shocked at the absence of modern improvements and elegancies In the students' lodgings that she had to. vent her feelings in print. It goes without saying that we do these things better In America; w have the ad. vantage of beginning where our British cousins Jeft off... Tot a like reason the ex plorer In the wild and wooly Westused to be astonished, some years ago, at finding the menu of a full-course dinner beside his plate at his hotel In Spokane Falls and a waiter In broadcloth canonicals be hind his chair at Walla Walla. But while these things spoke volumes for the prog ress which had been made In a new coun try, they do not argue anything against the Quality of the older civilisation on the Atlantic slop. Now, we very much Question whether the lack of fine furnishings and elaborate plumbing In hi college quarters is an Im portant handicap to a young nan's ad vancement In scholarship. It la quite safe to say that it-would never interfere with his acquisition of th sterling traits of manhood. Many ef the best men la Eng land and America, but mora especially In America, had a hard shift to complete their education) at all.', and would rather today have this past to. took back upon than a college career as magnificent aa an Oriental dream. - It la not necessarily a disparagement at the character of a young man to say that he has been gently reared. ' The last tw wars in which this country haa had a hand proved that as sturdy hearts beat under the purple aa anywhere. Ia u sense, there was something especially In spiring in the Idea of the gilded' youth taking up arms for their government, for every one recognised that their sacrifices were great in proportion to what they might have enjoyed at home if they had. not.gona -to the front. But in. soberly computing the factors which g o to-make a young man brave and strong and cn selflsh, full of enthusiasm for truth and justice and of hatred for wTong. we da not Inquire whether he has been used to bare r.oors, ragged carpets or Turkish rugs: whether he bathed In a porcelain tub, or rubbed himself down at a horse trough: whether he warmed himself De fore a smoky open fireplace, or basked I the cheerful radiance of a steam coll. These considerations are, la short, mere Incidentals. It may not b worth while to go to great patns to make the bill of learning steeper and rougher than It must Inevitably be by deliberately strew ing us trails with aggressive discomforts, but, on the other hand, if a' boy has health and strength, good spirits and am bition, the hardships which he cannot avoid, or which ha scorns to CO far out of his war to avoid, stimulate his resource fulness and give sest to his appetite for the good things which lie before, - . Moreover, In these practical days, th college graduate who succeeds In life is usually he who starts at the bottom of the ladder In his chosen calling. It seems to us that th student who passes out or his academlo halls Into the bread-and-butter axena-without to violent a chant of level must make a better list of his be ginning than his comrade who descend with a heavy jolt and has to readjust hit faculties to the ruder surroundings amid Which he suddenly finds himself.
