The testimony of the almanac was not needed
Yesterday TO prove that spring had come at last.
Its presence was made known to every sense, and
it was notably visible in the luminous haze which
mellowed every prospect and Rloriiied every dis
lance. 1t was one of those rare days when the
River and the heights beyond, the broad Bay with
its steadfast islands and wandering ships, the
shining reaches of the Sound. and all the familiar
prospects upon which the city looks out are in
vested with fresh charm, idealized. TRANSPORTED.
Such an atmosphere 10 only seen here when every
clod steans with the warmth and life of early
spring.

The Democrats in the Legislature have
shown little regard for the wishes OF the Mayor
and the citizens on the subject Of an increased
water supply. The Aqueduct bill has gone to
the Governor with SIX commissioners named I'D
the measure An effort was made by the ke-
publcans Yesterday to amend the bill so as 10
give the Mayor the power TO appoint a scvcnth
commissioner, but the Democrats gave the
propositon no support. The legislation on TINS
subject has been marked by so much trickery,
and so little respect for the demands oil the
taxnayers. that we shall not be surprised to
learn that the bill, as finally engrossed, con-
tains provisions not even approved by the
Democratic Legislators. The treatment OF THIS
whole subject ought to have taught useful
lesson to Mayor Edison. The very men whom
he sought 10 propitiate, at the expense OF the
better public sentiment, when he came INTO
office. are the ones who have defeated his ex-
cellent plans on the water question. Senator
Grady, as the representative OF john heily ID
the Senate, and NJ. C. Murphy, as the spokes-
man of Hubert o. Thompson in the Assembly,
have been the ring-leaders in opposition to the
Mayor. Those men acted on the orders OF
their respective Bosses as did the other repre-
sentatives of the County Democracy and TAM
many Hall. Mr.. Edson's course IN this matter
meets the commentator of the public, ana "

The Police Commissioners cannot afford TO
ignore the presentment made yesterday by the
Grand Jury. Captain Williams and Captain
Allaire are charged with iamentable incapa-
city or shameful neglect of duty" and their
removal is recommended. There is little room
to doubt the business of that accusation. IL
does not reflect alone upon the police captains
either. The Commissioners have ample power
to compel respect for the laws. No captain
or other subordinate could stand up moment
against the earnest determination of the Police
Board to enforce the laws against gambling
houses and for the regulation of the liquor
traffic. But while the Police Commissioners
are governed by political and personal consid-
erations we may expect continuance Oh

II appears that from 1860 to 1882,
n hundred and seventy persons we're
tried in Massachusetts, for murder in
the FIRST degree. OF this number only
twenty.nine we're convicted and only
sixteen paid the extreme penalty Of
the law Of those convicted one COM
mitted suicide and twelve got their
sentences committed. Here, then,
during a period Of little more than
twenty years were a hundred and sew
enty murders in one State and only
sixteen executions.
In Connecticut, during a period Of
thirty years, from 1850 10 1880, nine
ty.scven persons we're tried for murder
in the first degree. or these only thir-
teen were convicted Of that crime and
not more than seven we're hanged.
The statistics for other States would
doubtless show similar results. In
New York city there were hundred
and eighty.fve homicides during the
four years ending with 1877. This was
an average Of nearly one homicide a
week. During the same period there
were four executions, or just one a
year. The number of persons tried
for murder in the first degree in the
city is about twenty five every year,
the number hanged does not exceed on
the average, one or two year.
These figures are full Of significance.
They show that either through the
fault of the law itself or its admins.
tration by juries, the statute imposing
the death penalty for murder is in the
vast majority of cases dead letter.
They further show that while murder
is common crime, the murderer in 9
great many instances succeeds in escap
ing punishment entirely.

Now Bananas are Raised.

Az everybody knows who has eaten
a banana, the luscious pulp Is seedless.
The plants are propagated from other
plants, 80 that the stock is not likely
u run out. The plant requires for
vigorous growth deep rich soil, abun'
dainty watered. With these condi-
tions present there Is said TO be no
risk Of a crop in the hot regions where
alone the fruit is produced. Nine
months after a cutting has been plant
ed, purple bud appears in the centre
OF the unfolding leaves that shoot out
from the head Of the parent stem.
The stem on which the bud appears
grows rapidly above the main stalk.
As the bud increases in weight the
stem bends downward by graceful
curve, on the extremity Of which this
bud continues to grow till the purple
blossoms falling of, little shoots appear
rs the embryo fruit. Each fruit has
a yellow blossom at its outward ex.
tremity. At the end Of three TO four
months the fruit has grown to matur-
ity, and is picked long enough before
ii is dead ripe" to preserve it in
marketable condition. From the roots
Of the parent stalk other shoots appear.
which are trimmed out or left TO grow,
rs the cultivator may deem best. A
single stalk, therefore, bears only one
bunch or crop as lis liiework. Span.
iards have a religious reverence for the
banana. believing 1t TO be the fruit
Of which Adam partook. This fruit
has long been regarded as extremely
nutritious. Ii is recommended above
all others for invalids who are unable
to swallow harder food. An estimate
by Humboldt, claims that $4,000
pounds of bananas can be produced on
the soil that would be required for
! 900 pounds Of potatoes, and the
same area that would be required 10
raise wheat enough for one man,
would produce enough bananas TO feed

How JAY-EYE-SEE TRoTTED IN
2:103.-There are many things about
Jay-Eye-See's performance that are
wonderful. In the first place, the day
was not the best, and he finished in
the face of quite a breeze. Then he
was drawing 52-pound sulkey, which
is too heavy for such little horse. He
had a small sulkey. but it was deemed
better judgment to hitch to the larger
one. Then he trotted on track that
was new and had been subjected to 2
days hard rain, with only one day in
tervening and that not bright sunny
one. In 2;10i he passed the wire and
gained for himself the title of King Of
the Turf. His owner, Mr.. Case, was
the most delighted man on the ground.
He threw up his hat and walking
across the track and into the grand
stand where Mrs. Case was seated,
bent down and kissed her twice. :
