NEW YORK. 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.

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.
