Municipal Reform.
N. Y. Commercial Adyerti>cr.I

n. 7. COmmcrclaI AdVcrtiscr.
The practice of holding municipal cleo
lions AT the same time with general cleo
tions is an equally fruitful source of cor
ruption and evil. 1t lends to the rascals
the aid of political parties in their efforts
to get control of the city for the purpose
of pundering ii, and gives them opportu-
nifty to make corrupt deals which not
only wrong the city but debauch politics
and the public mind. \ first and most
necessary measure of reform, and one
which has been long and earnestly urged
upon its own merits by the best men and
most respected organizations OF both par
ties, is the separation of municipal from
general elections.

There is only one way that we know of
by (which these false philosophers and
their dupes can learn their folly. They
hate books and sheer at educated men,
and make nothing of history. The only
schoolmaster left is experience. They
must find out that their schemes wont
work They may hold mass meetings and
conventions and nominate congressman
and elect them, and these Congressman
may enact laws. but all in vain. Their
cause Is hopeless unless their philosophy
is itself founded on the laws of human

Two things are plain that the people
do not want the small notes withdrawn,
whether the withdrawal would be best in
a financial sense or not and second that
there is no good in a change which only
takes part of the small notes out of use

any coin in their stead. Nor can a gene

THE PRISCILLA AHEAD.
The New York Yacht Wins the Atlantic
Yacht Nlnb Kegntta.

NEW YORK, June 15-The day for the
Atlantic Yacht club regatta did not offer
the most desirable weather for testing the
merits of the giant sloops, but the race
was sailed in any weather, as the rules
stipulated. There were only light winds
and the breeze that did prevail was most
kindly to the Priscilla the New York boat
showed her friends they were mistaken in
thinking she carried sail with free Wind
For n short time after the start when the
wind WAS away aft, the Puritan that
was always beaten last year by the Pris-
ella on an aft wind, did some beautiful
sailing, outstrippiug both the Priscilla and
the Atlantic, but this continued only for
a few miles and after that the Boston
boats rivals had the best of it.
In front of the Atlantic yacht club
house this morning was most interest
ing sight. In the first place, the fleet
its size. Besides the regularly en-
tered yachts there were several
that had their canvas up, prepared to
90 over the course for amusement, and
there were also many steam yachts and
excursion steamers that also intended to
follow the prize seekers. The race began
under favorable conditions except as to
weather. 1t was neavy day with clouds
of moisture hanging overhead and only Il
light wind blowing from the northeast,
when the gun WAS fired to send the larger
| boats across the line.
At :35 the Puritan with j. Malcolm
Forbes AT the helm was right on hand,
her sails filled eargerly and she sped into
the race only a few seconds after the
| booming. The Priscilla was next aud
the Atlantic last, about 100 yards
apart. They each had their Blooms
swung away ont to starbOard, with spin
makers extending out on the other side,
and their great club topsail set. The Other
yachts of the fleet went over the imagi
nary line in more or less promiscuou-
fashion, with the schooners MOntauk,
GraYling, and the slOops Thetis, Oracle
and,Clndarella among the first. The yacht,
