The Greater New York Election.
The pending campaign in New York
City is attracting considerable atten-
tion, not only because New York is a
great city, but also, because the. con-
ditions are unusual. It is practically a
four cornered fight between the Citi‘
zens’ Tnion, the regular Republicans,
Tammany Hall and‘the Henry George
party. If the bets ofiered are any cri-
terion, Tammany is in the lead, but the

was really elected, but was counted out.
The Citizens’ movement is sporadic
and it has neither the organization nor
leadership of the other parties, partic-
ularly.- Tammany. That Tammany’s
position is by no means assured is shown
by Croker’s resumption of leadership
as John C. Sheehan’s inability to lead
is known if not acknowledged. The
regular Republicans have as a leader .
Senator Platt no novice or failure in
politics and so far as organization and
leadership count the Republicans and
Tammany are in better shape than the
others. The Citizens’ movement is so
strongly tinctured with Mugwumpery
that true blue Republicans find them-
The Be-
publicans are fighting for more than a
local victory for the stability of the or-
ganization and the cohesiveness of the
party is threatened. The position of
the Republicans is certainly consistent
and dignified and Win or lose they have
not surrendered their name or party to
selves unable to support it;
those doctrinaires who, under the ban-
ner of reform and with vociferous pro-
testations of their self sacrifice, are as
surely marching for places of power
and profit as are the more frank fol-
laowers of Senator Platt or Count Cro-
\ker. The action of Brooklyn, however,
will settle the question and in that city
the battle w ill be lost or won. Br ook-
lyn' is more largely a city of home own-
ers and the taxes are more widely dis-
-- tributed‘than in New York where the
tenant classes who predominate, are in-
different to the matter of taxation. If
the tax-payers of Brooklyn believe
that Low’s election means lower taxes,
they will flock to him regardless of
party and their support will elect him.

regular Republicans, the George move-
ment threatening the integrity of Tam-

Brooklyn’s position all combine to
make a forecast Worse than a wild
guess. If Tammany wins and can per-

throughout the Greater-New York her
power in the councils of the Democrat-
ic party will be greater than ever.

publicans as regards the councils of

The Bicycler’s Own Season.
These are the halcyon days for the
stalwart bicycler, remarks the VVash-
ington Post. The air, crisp with the
frosty touch of fall, stirs his sluggish
blood and sends him forth to conquer.

puscle in his throbbing veins.
It gives
life and. joyousness to the world,and yet
prostrates not with 1ntense heat. Over-
head, the fleecy white clouds float like
snowy islands in an ocean of blue, and
underneath the hard, white roads
stretph away into alluring distances.
The glorious tints of autumn give to
' the woods a richness of color which
vies only with the painter’s palette.
Along the picturesque fence the squir.
rel shyly runs with graceful motionfi
while the quail whistles clearly. The
pheasant drums noisily upon some
distant log, the cardinal bird gleams
through the leaves like a flash of living
flame.
l . Thus does the bicycler now find na-
.ture in her bravest mood. From the
largess of her store—from the chestnut
: tree, with' its spiny fruit, the walnut
tree, with its sweet and oily nut, and
from the field yellow with golden rod—
she yields the glories of the autumn
with prodigal hand. Richard the

Lohengrin need no longer struggle for
the Holy Grail upon the lonely moun-
tain top; it is the pellucid spring
which nestles under the sky-ascending
oak. There is nothing material, per-
haps, in all these things, but there is
something better still—exhaustless res-
ervoirs of crystalline, unvitiated air, a
silent yet sympathetic communion, a
glimpse of wide horizon to break the
fetters of a trammelled soul, a glorious
expanse of transparent azure. These
are the things which inspire the bicy-
cler to mount his wheel; and it is in
the enjoyment of these that he finds
renewed health, a finer inspiration, and
a braver spirit to meet uncomplaining-
1y the daily drudgery of life.

It is strange to note the way the neck

Judge Wellhouse is called the apple
king of the world. His orchards, in
Kansas, says the Kansas City Times,
consist of 1,630 acres, containing 100,-
900 apple trees and are located in the
noun-ties of Leavenworth, Miami and
Osage. In thirteen years he has
picked over 400,000 bushels of apples,
and whenever he has a little money to
spare he buys a. little more land and
sets out some more apple trees. Grow-

gambling is the passion of some men
and raising fast horses the passion of
others—New York Herald.

temperance people advice that. would
have horrified the red hot temperance
men and women of twenty-five years

nunciation. There were three conces—
sions, he said, which temperance ad-
vocates were bound to make. One was
that while wines and liquors were not
indispensable to the welfare of man-
kind, they nevertheless had their legi-
