The New York Priu Association
v til hold Its annual excursion and
convention this year on June 24th to
Siith. The members of the association)
vlll rendrovoua at the Yutes House,
Fyrneuse, on Monday, June 24, whore
a banquet will be given In the even'
John A, Slolouer.
J rig, to which all the members of the
a.Toclatlon are Invited. Those entitled
:o the privileges of the association
who are acquainted with the brand of
fc;spitality dispensed la Syracuse, will
make a special effort to be present at
I'-ie opening of the convention; those
who are not may possibly stay away
from the opening exercises and regret
it forever afterward.
Editors are naturally sociable fel
Iowa. They are also by force of ne
cessity very aclvo business men.
These two somewhat contrary traits
of character probably account for th
origin of the New York State Editorial
'Association, now In the thirty-ninth
year of Its existence, which unites in
dts mmberHhlp as much shrewd busi
ness talent and capacity for social en
joyuioiu as exists In any other corpor
ate body in the civilized world. These,
vords are not Idly written, but ura
the result of a quiet observation ex
tending through uearly twenty jeara
of the doings of the State editors al
their annual outing.
After the preliminary exercises and
banquet at Syracuse, the editors will
proceed to Albany on a special tmio
over the New York Central road,
wliwe an informal reception by Gv.
Morton will bo tendered thera, follow
ed by luncheon. They will not linger
long in Albany, however. This ls pos
slbly becausu even Albanians recog
nize that Saratoga is the social ant
political cnpltal of the State during the
diot seatx.a. The Journey of the 25th
instant' will therefore be continued to
Enralogra, on a -special train over the
Dulawiiia and Hudson Rnllroad, and
A C.iirappe of l.nke Geot-Ke.
(headquarters will bo established at the
Grand Union Motel, whero a ball will
4)e given in the evening In honor of
t:;e wlvre and daughters of the as
sembled editors, to which the elite
vf Saratoga society is Invited.
On edncbday morniuK, June 20,
tiie pui ty will proceed to Luke (icorge,
where a three-days' convention will
le held in the Court House, While
et Lnke George the association will
bo Uio sucfi:a of the Horicoti Improve
ment Company, ut the Lake House.
The p'ltjile, interested In all kinds
of news, will be interested In knowing
just what an editorial convention is
like. So f.ir we have had only the
rrellp.iinari"s the "entrees" to the
least, as it were. An editorial cod
Tentlon of the genuine New York Li.e.
is a minsled round of saro practical
business and social fes'lvi'y. The
editors meet to exchange io$, .o
brush up on the latest point tifleptlnp:
their business, and to enjoy tLwn
eelves in the company of their wives,
laua;hter8 und friends.
The convention always opens with
an address by the President, und this
year that duty will be performed by
Mr. John A. Sleicher, a gentleman
well-known to the profession both in
the -State and country at large. Mr.
Sleicher was recently editor of the
New York Ms!l and Express, and Is
hi pivent conducting that somewhat
nnamoious publication known as the
New York Record, which it Is pre
fumed he d.e upon a thoroughly re
torm bais. Either because or regard
loss of his politics (or perhaps both)
Mr. Sleicher la very popular with
Lake lluuw l.nndliu
newspaper kkjd. aud his addre.ss wilt
be u feature of the convention.
Thorn will follow business commuiii
catlons aud t forte minute papers on
practical topics by the brightest men
of the State press. Three minute pa
purs! Editors are consistent fellows,
and know now ''to blue-pencil their
,0'ivn Iuuulerat:oni. The throe mi nix
I-
papers ara a great feature of the con
vention, an ere nlno the short discus
sions that follow.
Then the committees report, and a
tyro would be astonished to learn how
many and how profound a lot of com
mittees nn editorial convention can
make ure of. Addresses on various
fubjects by editors whose ideas be
come uncontrollable are permissible
at almost any stage of the proceedings,
and oftentimes some of the best things
of the convention come out In a spon
taneous way. Tho election of officers;
for the next year follows.
Then follow resolutions and prize
papers, and general leave takings,
llut, hold somewhere In the pro
ceedings comes in the report of the
secretary and treasurer, Mr. A. Q.
Bunnell, a man so peculiarly modesC
and retiring that he has been kept In
his present position from time im
memorial as an example of what at
editor may become under a system of
special culture. Mr. Bunnell is the
patriarch if not the father of the New
York Press Association, and he le at
present also President of the National
Press Association. Whether he In
vented press associations or was In
vented by the first association of the
kind. Is a question analogous to that
other famous inquiry, "Which the
Lady or the Tiger?" He has nowi
reached the summit of his ambition
and no editor can expect to gain more
honor among his brethren, but as Sec
retary of the New York Press Associa
tion and a missionary in the cause of
editorial relaxation his career has still
a bright and promisiug future before
it.
One might be excused for thinking
that the programme here briefly outlln-
-4 mfW

ed would readily occupy all the spare
time that the sojourn at Lake Oeorge
could afford. Not so quite the con
trary. There will be royal entertain
ment and royal good fellowship. The
Horicon Company has a programme ol
excursions, concerts, dancing, ban
quets, etc., that opens to the assembled
guests the possibilities of excessive
epicurean enjoyment, but there is no
danger of over-Indulgence. Editors al
ways behave themselves especially as
each one carries a quill behind his ear
and a bottle of ink In his pistol pocket,
and always has a weather eye on the
doings of his "esteemed contempor
aries." The most dangerous place In
the world for any "cutting up" is an
editorial convention.
There is every reason to believe that
the thirty-ninth annual convention of
the New York Suite Press Association
will be the' most notable in its history.
O. H. B.
rnrlKnlm Jt Dang-arotui.
The reason why the idea of un
cleanliness was associated with tho
idea of dangerousness was, in my
opinion, because uncleanness was
thought to be the enomy of the gods,
and the gods can not be where any
uncleanness exists. The gods are
clean and pure, and those who are not
cleitn and pure cannot but forfeit the
protection of the gods. Those who
aro not prutected by the gods can
easily be attacked and Injured by the
evil aud unclean spirits, and hence the
idea of danger came to be associated
with the Idea of uncleanness. This la
perhaps made plainer by some con
crete case. When I was a boy, the
custom of euting beef began to 6pread.
As blood was recorded as unclean,
and also as Japan had been a strong
Bgrlcul'ural country, there was a very
deep-rooted disinclination to eat beef.
In this, of course, one has also to re
cognize the Influence of the vegetarian
principle of Buddhism. But to any
tr. v who had ever tasted beef, it waa
f;o rteilclous that he could hardly con
trol his ru'-tural appetite by his relig
ious scruple. My father wus one of
those who Knew its taste, and so now
and then we used to treat ourselves
to beef. But where did we eat It?
We did not eat It Inside of the bouse.
We conked and ate It in the open air,
nnd In cooking and in eating we did
not use- the ordinary utensils but used
the speeUl onea kept for the purpose.
Why all these things? Because beef
was unc',ein, and we did not like to
spread this uncleanness Into our house
wherein the "gods-shelf" is kept, and
Into our ordinary utensils which might
be usd In making offerings to the
gods. The day when we ate beef my
father did not offer lights to the goda
nor say evening prayers to them, as
he did usually, for he knew he waa
unclean and could not approach the
pods. Then my mother, who did
not and could not eat beef till
very recently, did these things; and
I, who used to partake of the newt
dainty dish, often went to bed feeling
an If 1 was unclean and subject to
dangers. N. Klshimoto, In the Po
pular Science Monthly.

The pressnt probabilities In regard
to a successor to Secretary Uresham
ad point to Atiorney-Oenernl Olney as
the coming man. The rumors con
necting ex-Secretary Whitney's name
with the oltlce were soon settled. Mr.
Whitney will not be Secretary of
State simply because under no cir
cumstances could he be Induced to ac
cept the position. It needs no great
political wit to perceive that neither
a busy nor an ambitious man could
afford to accept the position at the
present time. The foreign policy of
the Administration can be better car
ried out by a member of the present
cabinet than by a new-comer. Mr.
Olney's ability as a lawyer, and his
thorough sympathy with the President
point to him as the man most likely,
to succeed Mr. Greshani.
If Olney succe-d.? lireshsm, the va
cancy In the office of Attorney-General
creates nn Interesting possibility. Mr.
Olney has bopn much berated In cer
ta.n quarters because he has held the
anti-trust law to be unconstitutional,

tlons under It asulcst various cor
porations accasod on popular rurqor
of having violate Its provisions. Tt9
decision of tte Supreme Court on the
Income tax feature of tho Wilson tariff
bill has convinced many shrewd ob
servers that Olney has had a pretty
clear idea of the legal possibilities ot
prosecution against men whoso prin
cipal crime sccnis to bo their ability
to form money-making combinations.
There is no doubt that there will be
strong iu2ueni.es brought to bear to
secure a change of policy In the Attorney-General's
office, but It is be
lieved that lrcsldeut Cleveland fully
approves of the conservative policy
thnt has been approved, and will not
appoint a man out of harmony with,
the settled policy of the Administra
tion.
Tho breaking out of war between
Japan and Formosa la attracting no
little attention in diplomatic circles.
The Japanese Government has shown
no hesitation In taking advantage of
all Its rights under the recent treaty
of peace with China. It Is believed
here that the Russian Government has
stirred up the opposition In Formosa
to the Japanese occupation. There is
a sentiment unions; well-lr.formed ob
servers that Russia a:id Japan have
now become natural rivals for the
control of affairs in Eastern Asia, and
that sooner or later they must come
In conflict.
l'he Eastern war has resulted in
placing the United States Government
in rather a pscullar position. We
have always enjoyed exceptionally,
pleasant relations with the Russian
autooiacy. We have also cultivated
the most amiable relations with Ja
pan, and the attitude of the Mikado's
Government towards us Is at pr9.aut
one of exceptional friendliness. Rus
sia has always looked upon us us a
possible rivvl snd unemy to Great
llritain under certain circumstances,
while Japan regards us as the fore
most of civilized nRtlons and hc-r tu
tor and mentor la the- art of exchang
ing barbarism for civilization. The
Jupsncr-e are a singularly diplomatic
p-;ople. In the little game of dip
