The ixminat1on. in the vpiaion of lix-al political prophets, car ries with It a deal between the "regu lar' Republicans and the Tammany Iemocrats. The Board of Police Om niHeioners of four members now has two Republicans members. Gen. Ker win and .Mr. Murray, thus carrying out the Idea of n bi-iart.isan ard. as proposed by the bill which Gov. Flower vetoed last winter. There U no uncertainty alout the political posi tion of the two members of the Board. Mr. Murray is the census enumerator whom President Harrison appointed to take the. census of this city, and who, according to good Democratic author ity, tried to cut down the population and Congressional and State repre aentations of the city. Gen. Kerwin w one time a Democrat, but he. trove to defeat Mr. Cleveland in 1M, ty turning over the Irish vote of the city to Mr. Blaine, and he has loen a consistent Republican since. The situation, as it stands, indicates a three-cornered political fight this fall. It Is evident thai Mr. Piatt will have notlUng to do with ,the so-called re formers, bsit will ' Insist upon a "straight" ticket to opxe Tammany. This action on the part of the Repui Hearts, if It takes place -as indicated, will force the reformers to show their trength. They cannot well avoid a contest, and they should be In a posi tion to make it a lively one. .Ww York city politics seems to Interest the whole country, and It will ivrtainly be Interesting this fall. It would take a good prophet to forecast the out come. There can be no doubt as to The New Hampshire, the strength of the Independent mow nient at the present time. Its s"titl uient is uncompromising, nud it aims ot nothing less than the destriict!i.:i of both the Tammany and Piatt mi chine. It would willingly use either of the old purti 'S to effect lu aims, but is not likely to compromise witli either. The oldest and shrewdest poli ticians admit that the .situation is fuil of tine riaint ". mid would not l: greaMy surprised at the mice.ss or t!i. independent ticket. It is surmisi-d. however, that the Herald is doing n go.d to th" imlcja-iideuu hj advocat ing Dr. Pfi:-Hiipvi f ir mayor, ii U a little curious rl'Tt ewn rif";!i:i':' .u-' dispose! to irnsf experleil'i'il p,il:ti cians for t?:e!r leaders rath.-r tha:i their own Ilk. The local v.i.-hiing sentimriit Iims been stiniiil-ite.l to a Utile enilitis'a-on by the Viglhiiit's lite b-tories i:i Kng land. It can fairly said that lo. ,il JachtiiH'n have never doubted the Vlgilant's suporiority b the liiiiaunia. The conditions under which the curly race l Great Britain took phu- were very peculiar, and amounted to a complete handicap for the American yacht. The Scotch jnchtinft course are all land locked, aud the weather seems to have Ikh'Q of an unusual character, much resembling our sum mer weather. The Vigilant, while fast In either light or heavy winds. Is not o,n!ck In stay, and the Scotch cour, with their queer angle and many turns, were much against her. Bo sides, the Britannia has the liest skip per and smartest crew in (5re.it Brit ain, while the Vigilant and her man ager were novlo-s In Scotch waters. It is no wonder that the American yacht failed to win on laud locked courses, with many turns and varying currents and shifts of wind, while her managers and (crew were perfectly green. But our local experts all agree that she has shown herself the fast est yacht. She has kept right on tho British yacht's heels under the most unfavorable cireumstano, and has run away from her whenever a true wind has blown. There i no little surprise and amuse ment here over the revelation ot tho difficulties of yachting in Brit'sli water. The Idea has lieen sedulously preseuted by our foreign visitors that British courses were open and fair, and freely swept by reeling gales. Itotihtlcs this may be trttv of some of tin- rai-s that Vigilant will yet enter. Her cxjM'rlenco so far shows that Brit ish yachtsmen have much to learn In selecting fair and opeu courses. It Is now the rule In this country to sail all important matches on triangular courses lu tho open ocean. Such courses are jierfectly fair, and the rule of requiring all races to l finished within six hours prevents the occur rence f "fluk-s." Scarcely one of the drifting matches In which the Vigilant was defeated In Scotland would have: N-n allowed lu this country. It Is evident that the Vl?ilaufs visit to Gen. Micha-1 Kerwin. England Is destined to teach our cous ins many new poiuts In yachting. It is interesting to note that the British critics all conceded the Vigilant' su periority in a true wind, even before she beat the Britannia. The only oint of doubt they seem to entertain is as to her ability iu a gale. It is to le hoped she will have an opjxrtunity to meet the Britannia in the roughest weather the channel can afford. Then they will learn that our yachts are a staunch and able as they are fat. MILTON IS. MAY HEW. Spraying and Cold Storage. At the Geneva N. T.)

The results show an average receipt, per tree, from the Seckel variety, sprayed six times, of $.".4K per tree, while uuspray ed trees by their side gave only sixty eight cents per tree. White Doyenne, sprayed five times, gave ifd..V er tree, while the same variety, uusprayod, gave otily forty-five cents per tree. The cost of the material and labor was 5'4 cents per tree each time, or 47H; cents for five treatments. Experiments made In New South Wales in kevplu;,' fruit In cold storage, with a constant influx of air, at a temperature of about forty-two degrees nlnive zero, showed that apples kept well four months and kept ten days after removal. Pears, plums, peaches, grapes, tomatoes and mangoes kept for two months, all coming out in good "condition. I'ailt This Id Your Hat. "Neither the torch of the incendiary nor the weapon of the insurrectionist nor the Inflamed tongue of him who incites to tire and sword Is the instru ment to bring about reforms. To tho m'.nd of the American iK-ople. to tho calm, dispassionate, sympathetic Judg ment of a race that is not afraid to face deep changes and responsibilities then has, as yet, leeu no appeal. Men who appear as the champions of great changes must first submit them to dis cussion discussion that readies not simply the parties interested, but the wider circles of society, and must be patient as well as preserving until the public intelligence has heocn reached and a public Judgment made up.

The English paiers bare recently N-en full of accounts of the new royal baby. The cradle In which the little Duke of Kent Is spending his first "summer vacation" has held the in fant forms of many of his royal grand uucb-s ami aunts. 1 The cradle swings from a graceful frame of rich old mahogany Inlaid with gold. Draperies of handsome bnx-ade of a tielicate pearl tint are at tached and used to shut off Intrusive draughts. The sheets for this downy uit are of fine Irish linen, lace trim med, the blankets are softest embroi dered Pyrenoan wool, ami the coverlid matches the pearl brocade. The crown and three feathers which surmount the framework are further typical of tin- royal state of the small occupant.

"The fame of the Smithfield ham 1ms In-en spread to th uttermost parts of the land, and I never yet kuew a man who was cog nizant of the merits of both that didn't prefer the product of old Virginia to the choicest that ever came from West Vhalia.
