The trouble not exhaustion of the soil, but over production of weeds. He says in his report: “The soil is as good as any soil in the State of | New York and in some cases better.” The lesson runs to more things than Central Park and to more pereons than Park Commissioners and gardeners. It has its mean- ing for thousands of farmers throughout the State and for every State throughout the Union. Many @ valuable farm and ancient hereditary homestead has been abandoned in all parts of the coun- try because the owner believed the soil was exhausted, when as « matter of fact the soil was suffering solely from neglect and unskilled eultivation. As for the city the lesson {s plain. it applies to every park | and public square in town. Nert to our public achools, the parks are | our pride. Yet we have neglected them while boasting of them. Now| that we know, we shall do better—perhaps. | +42 UNLAUNDERED LAUNDRIES. MONG the reform movements of the city one of | the newest in point of time and most novel in| aim is that of cleaning up or cleaning out the laun- | dries. This has the appearance of an enterprise to send coals to Newcastle, for since laundries are cleansing establishments, who would suspect that they themselves need cleansing? | We are told, however, that careful investigation will show that the laundry is about as bad as the bakeshop used to be before the reform broom swept over it; that our clothing is as badly treated | as our bread was, and the intimations of the reformers are that even | bofling water and much eoap do not suffice to rid the linen of the | contaminations of the places where the washing js done. How far such charges are justified remains to be proven. It is Just as well, however, to have the reform wave eweep on its way. Tnvestigation hurts nothing. The summer time is coming, when much | washing will be needed, and if there be inundries where the washing is not properly done it will be well to have them put through e process of dry cleaning themselves. ——_———_+4-__-_____ POLICE HEROES OF THE PAST. ——— OURTEEN names of policemen who died in the = heroic performance of dangerous duty have been == elected for inscription upon memorial tablets in the hall of police headquarters. Others are yet to be selected As has been already pointed out, the records of police service prior to 1869 are in- complete, and the committee in charge of the memorial work fs desirous of hearing from those whose memories go back to the period before that date and who oan recall deeds of un- recorded heroism. The request for such information is repeated, that itamay reach some who did not note it before. Bince an effort is being made to commemorate the names of men who tn the service of the city were faithful unto death, it fs highly desirable that not one of the heroes should be overlooked. Among | thowe that died obscurely in the ranks and whose heroism wes least noted may be some of the most deserving. Let none of them be for- gotten now.
