not opened, and the yacht, alter repeated
signals, rapidly drew near the structure.

The new mayor takes occasion to say:

the city, arc not appreciated as much as
they deserve TO be.
The increase of the sinking fund and
the consequent reduction of the city debt
are the simple operations OF law as applied
and ordered by the finance committee,
under the instruction of councils. No
one else has any control over tho sinking
fund.

Tt was the devotion Of the Republican
masses to Blaine which forced his nomi.
nation, lust as II is the devotion Of the
Democratic masses To Tllden, which will
probably serve to force his nomination,
II his physical condition does not CON-
Del him to refuse to be nominated.
There has been no demand for
either OF these men as candidates
by those who are acquainted with
the estimate Of them that Is made by the
unprej intelligence of the country.
Partisans will blind their eyes and minds
to the weakness of their idols and so 1t
has come that the Republican partisans
who dote on Blaine because he is their
bold, aggressive and brilliant leader,
thrust him forward as candidate, not
only for their own votes-for which, Ger
tainly, he Is eminently eligible-but for
the votes also of those who are not Re
publican partisans, but decent, intelli.
gent and self respecting citizens, who
believe that the Republican candidate
for president Is not an honest aud wise
statesman and who will not vote for
him. If the Republican party is
strong enough to elect its candidate
with the main array of its voters, who
never cut its ticket, aided by the COM
tingent who are independent skirmishsrs
only until the battle Is joined, then the
Of Blaine would not have
been so silly as 1t is now recognized to be
10 view of the notorious fact that the
Republicans can afford to lose none Of
their own votes and cannot even be
sure of success without stealing some
thing from the Democratic strength.
It's difficult to look upon the candidacy
Of Blaine with respect, for there is
nothing in 1t to excite either fear or
admiration. He is politician without
sincerity of conviction or honesty of
purpose and he is so recognized. There
is this difference between Blaine and
Garfield, that Blaine was known TO lie
what he is before his nomina-
tiou, while Garfield, never before
thought of for the presidency, was
held by his party to be innocent of the
charges made against him in the heat OF
the political canvass. No such claim
for Blaine will avail (; and his struggle
for the presidency will at least have the
good effect of proving that a man, who is
believed by the country to be corrupt
cannot attain its highest office upon
which point grave doubt was raised by
Garsield's election.

A Useless Concern.

The circular Of the Pennsylvania state
college of 1883 81, containing "a brief de
scriptiOn of the institution, statement of
the courses Of study, &c.," shows that it
has seventeen instructors drawing pay {;
1t has a five story building, half square
long it has cabinets and museums,
four hundred acres of farm land, twenty
acres of orchard, vineyard, thirty
acres of experimental grounds, and a
scientific and technical library of 3 800
volumes and it assumes to offer
thorough instruction and ample facili
ties In three general courses, four techni
cal courses and three short special
courses" 1t has, we believe, the six
per cent. income Of 100000 to pay its
faculty and conduct It's operations
1t seems TO have everything but stu
dents, and Is doing nothing that well
equipped and well conducted scientific
school or educational institution should
be doing. or fifty free senatorial
scholarships offered to the youth of this
state, few, IL any, were ever taken.
Ii looks very much as if this great
overgrown, clumsy and useless concern,
with its manifold "courses of study, -
was operated simply as a pretext to pay
the seventeen instructors their salaries.
If its $50, 900 Of annual income had been
distributed for the past twenty years
among the deserving, worthy, working
colleges Of Pennsylvania that have,
without state aid, been accomplishing so
much, there would be no end to the
valuable results which might have flowed
from the money that has been wasted.

The Democratic Candidate.

The lesson taught by Blaine's nOmi-
nation should not be lost on the DemOc-
Iacy. That nomination is universally
held to be weak because Blaine is
acceptable only to hot Republican par
tisanship and can only command his
vote there. Very much so it is with Mr..
Tllden, who seems to be as strong a
favorite with the Democratic masses as
Blaine is in his party. Those who repre-
sent the Democracy in convention
however, should take calm view of the
situation, and determine whether the
popular Democratic voice, if it does call
for Tilden, is one to be safely yielded to.
Our own clear conviction is ts.tt AR.
Iilden's nomlnatel,Sein nomlne,en would be most un-
>. ,.ssuc and that the convention should
take no risk of extending to him a nOmi-
nation that 1t does not desire him TO
accept. That would be child's play and
not mems play.
The current of sentiment since the
nomination of Blaine seems to be
pointing towards the nomination of
Ddydiu vi SltNtldui1 ClIllti vi NHbul
would make a strong candidate. Mr..
Randall is so handicapped as the can
didate Of Pennsylvania, counted a Re-
publican state, and by tie antagC sm
of his tariff position as to be unable t.
keep place in the front rank of available
candidates in the general estimation
and as this must control the nomina
tion it will be likely recognized. AS
between Governor Cleveland and Sena
tor Bayard the advantage in point of
availability seems to be with thegOvernOr
of New York, state which we must
carry, which he has carried by an over
whelmiDg vote, and in which his course
as governor seems TO have been such rs
to streng hen him with the voters. If
this be the fact and the New York
delegation asks his nomination it will no
doubt be made by the national conven
tiOn.

There are now, it is reokoned, fully
1000, 600 baskets of fruit On tho peach
trees of Delaware, and the appearance Of
nearly all the orchards is most healthy
and promising. Unless the drop" which
has now begun, is unusually large, the
yield will be one OF the largest ever known,
probably the greatest, excepting that Of
1875. There ought TO be at least Z, 600, 900
basket of marketable fruit. That, indeed,
is tho estimate made by large growers in
the best parts of the state. Here, from
1900. 900 to 5000, 900 baskets are looked
for. Elsewhere, not more than G,OO0, 600
are expected. Railroad managers and
shipping agents arc preparing to handle
about 100000 baskets. These figures
really represent bigger yield than that of
1875, for the acreage of orchards is much
smaller now than then.

disastrous storm was about four miles long
aud fifteen miles in length. The hail fell
in great cubes Of ice, but quite scattering,
